PotentialProblem,

I enjoyed it. I 100 percented the game and it really scratched my Sekiro itch. I preferred the combat of Sekiro more but Lies of P was as close as I’ve come to Sekiro. I really enjoy parry mechanics, but I had to fallback more to the dodge behind and attack mechanics for several of the bosses. I found the boss battles difficult but not that difficult. Usually I’d be able to overcome the boss in under a dozen tries and I don’t remember having to run very far to retry any bosses. The lore felt lukewarm to me… but so does every other souls like. It left me excited for the DLC. It helped that I got it for essentially free when I picked up the Xbox game pc pass.

PotentialProblem,

Doesn’t run on mobile :(

Otherwise it looks like it’d be a good time waster

PotentialProblem,

Gonna risk going a bit against the grain here…

I have a lot of empathy for their situation.

I don’t know what the solution is but it isn’t the status quo. A lot of the west coast cities are having a disproportionate problem with homeless. It’s not clear if people are bussing their homeless or the housing prices or what.

The amount of trash generated by these homeless camps is nuts and ruins virtually every public space. In Portland, it is common to find hypodermic needles littered in the parks. You’ll walk past people on the sidewalk passed out with a needle in their arm or actively doing drugs. Human excrement on the sidewalk. I wish I had some solution but the current situation sucks for everyone.

PotentialProblem,

So far I’m enjoying it! It has a soft progression limiter where you get cursed in such a way that monsters get increasingly more damaging every encounter… this goes away after you run into this person a few times.

My only concern is that I’ll feel the need to replay it once all of the content is there… which I guess isn’t too bad!

PotentialProblem,

Holy shit. If this article is legitimate these people are morons. Luckily the governor, state, and house are all democratic controlled.

Jesus wept.

Is there any demand left for 'game systems developers'? As in, people knowledgeable on Win32 or POSIX API, PE/ELF, Compilers and Interpreters, etc, when it concerns games exclusively? (+UNIX engine?)

I don’t think my knowledge is complete about Windows side of things (PE and Win32 API, MASM, VC++ etc) so I never dared apply for such jobs. But I have never seen one either. I think it theoretically should exist. The systems side of gaming, especially developing a portable framework, developing retargetable, optimizing...

PotentialProblem,

Keep your head up!

I’ve worked with many Iranians here in the US and all of them are excellent engineers. At least one of them managed to get over here without a college degree and work his way up to a comfortable software job.

Not having a degree is going to be rough as far as immigration goes… but you’re capable of figuring out complex systems so you’re capable of figuring this out. Easier said than done… but if you keep pushing you’ll get somewhere. If you accept defeat early, you’ll get nowhere.

PotentialProblem,

I’m a rampant clicker/tapper and I bet I’ve unknowingly downvoted more than a few folks.

PotentialProblem,

I’m on a random app and while it’s obvious if I pay attention. I, occasionally, tap the down arrow by mistake while scrolling. Usually when I do this I notice it and undo it, but I imagine it’s happened a few times without me noticing.

Just saying it’s possible it’s some donkey like me that fat fingered a downvote.

PotentialProblem,

I was pretty confused too. It sounds like he won’t support anyone who is “anti-Israel”… which I thought the narrative was “Biden is pro Israel”… also the whole Canadian border crossing thing right after complaining about immigrants makes him sound a bit unhinged. This article is awful. Who cares about a random actor anyway? Even if I did this article doesn’t give me anything coherent to sway my ideas.

PotentialProblem,

I am so confused. This is the onion… but isn’t this real?! Edit: ahh the content is the joke not the headline

PotentialProblem,

I think it’s Little Women but I could be wrong

PotentialProblem,

Maybe give FFXIV a try! There’s a pretty expanded free portion that lets you play through a large portion of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and there’s something resembling a story.

PotentialProblem,

Ah yeah I could see that. My family got into it for a few months and was a lot of fun. I did have pretty good experiences with randos though.

PotentialProblem,

I just recently started playing OW2 again after several years. I was able to unlock all of the heroes just by playing. I didn’t pay anything. My kids also have unlocked the vast majority without paying anything.

Is the only difference here that you won’t have to get to level 30 or whatever on the free tier battle pass?

PotentialProblem,

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!

PotentialProblem, (edited )

Since everyone’s mentioned the standards.

I’ve really enjoyed playing Tails of Iron (metroidvania with a focus on learning bosses attacks) lately. For programming games, I really liked Shenzhen IO (You create hardware with something resembling an Assembly language and a printable manual) and Human Resources Machine (drag and drop assembly programming)

I also have a soft spot for anything from Ska Studios (I maed a game with zombies in it, salt and sanctuary, salt and sacrifice, dishwasher, Charlie murder, and a bunch of older games that are probably not playable anymore)

Also looks like everyone else forgot to mention the great game that is Undertale as well.

PotentialProblem,

Thanks for the info! I had no idea this existed!

I’m old and haven’t grown out of video games and now enjoy playing them with my kids! Video games rule for all ages!

PotentialProblem,

You shut your mouth! No one talks about my boy Tom that way. (I vaguely remember Tom Bombadil being one of Tolkiens daughters dolls and that’s how he came to be in the book.)

PotentialProblem,

The makers of the infamous “Back Orifice” Trojan?

I feel so old.

PotentialProblem,

Thanks I had no idea there was a book. I checked out the audiobook from my library

No major red flags here! This looks like most resumes I’ve seen in my past.

Couple of thoughts: It looks like you don’t have a college degree. A bunch of donkeys will use this to filter you out. (I didn’t for the longest time either) I’d drop your high school score off, as it makes it obvious that you don’t have a college degree. If you leave that off, they’ll need to ask you about it and, at that point, they’ll have started the conversation. You’re at the 2 year mark in experience which I feel will override most degree concerns. This will get easier for you in the next 2 years.

Do you have any experience in react? If so I’d consider documenting that on your resume. It seems like every front end job I run into is looking for someone with react lately. On second look it seems like you do have some react experience but I don’t see any evidence of that in your job descriptions.

Assuming you’re applying for English speaking jobs, I’d consider putting English before Italian as a recruiter might take that as you’re less than proficient at English (remember recruiters are often very bad at their job)

You mention building and maintaining multiple websites. It helps to be specific on what those websites did, what tech stacks they were on, and your role. Right now it reads very generically which may imply you’re inexperienced.

You mention building a restful api. Talking about the tech stack might give recruiters a better idea of your experience and where it is.

If you have any CI/CD experience, it’s helpful to add a bit about that.

PotentialProblem,

(I updated my previous post with a couple more thoughts that you might have missed)

If residency is in question, I’d explicitly put it on your resume that you have authority to work in whatever country. Whatever makes the recruiters job easier.

I’ve never had any concerns over someone’s email provider, but I’d double check it’s not getting caught in some spam filter or something. (Usually folks call)

How long have you been having this problem? In the US, there’s been a ton of layoffs and we’ve had a ton of excellent candidates in the recent months applying. Additionally, hiring at my company has slowed down a bit since February and will probably pick up in April May timeframe.
