Hello everyone, I hope I came to the right place to ask my stupid question. I’m currently working in a company that stuck way way back in time. I’m talking some people are still working in DOS level back in time. There is some revamping of this in progres, but it’s going to be a long run....
I’m not in tech anymore but must comment that I work at a major company in a dynamic field with young, ultra-qualified, ultra-smart personnel that is not horribly computer-unsavvy but I still think I’m the only one in the whole company who opens IT support tickets via a system instead of caling, even though IT pushes the system and even though you get good support via the system and horrible people by calling
I’ve been playing this game off and on, starting over since it came out. I was a hardcore Bloodborne player, but also played a lot of elden ring and ds3. Sekiro never clicked, I thought it was slick and the action felt incredible but I just couldn’t get past the beginning. Finally I’ve broken through and am having a blast,...
I’m in the same boat as you were with Sekiro, might actually try AC and see if it helps. I did learn parrying recently playing Thymesia and Lies of P though, might help hopefully

Everytime I look at small problems or big global problems, if you follow the money trail, it all leads to some billionaire who is either working towards increasing their wealth or protecting their wealth from decreasing....
This. Still, as a former engineer who follows the field from a business standpoint but is not too close to the technicals anymore, the idea of finding new bands within fiber was not something I had in mind at all, there’s a lot of potential there if some of it can be applied in long-range transport.
Amid heightened tensions between China and Taiwan, Chinese President Xi Jinping told a former Taiwanese president who supports unification that the countries “belong” together....
Yeah Xi is right, no one is going to stop him from ending the provincial rebellion in Taiwan. Western leaders will whine a bit but might not even use lingo suggesting it’s a sovereign nation. That war would not be worth it for anyone to get involved in; stakes in Ukraine are way higher and the West is already underinvested in it.

Eh for all we know more-experienced armorers like her father might be MORE inclined to use live ammo, older safety standards were probably pretty loose
A larger number of people probably buy Teslas (or Tesla stock) due to being Musk fanboys, and booting him would make him a pretty annoying enemy and potential competitor who knows everything about Tesla. No way they do that unless he wants to work less or something
As a user of a formerly-24h gym it really irks me lol. Nothing like working out at 3am. Still, it was definitely shit for business since you need to keep everything running for hours just to get 1-2 people, who might have subscribed to the gym due to proximity even if it closed at 1am.
That native-American dude in Megaman Battle Network who is super righteous, but if you talk to him and refuse to rebattle him just says “Cowards have no future”, genuinely inspired me into adulthood
This. Instagram was probably amazing back when it only had people who looked good in pics and/or were good at taking pics, and only posted stuff if it was particularly interesting. Rather than the whole world being sorta forced to put random pics on there.
For the past decade, Disney has been the Teflon movie studio, remarkably adept at withstanding the tectonic changes impacting the film industry, and well fortified by its arsenal of key properties such as Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar....
Comics being super interconnected in big events is indeed not a Disney invention, and it makes sense for movies to follow that format. BUT both comics and the MCU initial phases only worked out because the heroes’ standalone comics/movies stood on their own feet. Disney fucked up when they started making interconnected movies without setup (Eternals, I liked it but no one else did) or making standalone hero movies that are clearly just there for a future mash-up (compare recent movies to first Iron Man or first two Captain America movies). Doesn’t help either that repeating the same formula for new hero movies over and over gets boring with time and today’s Disney (and overall mainstream movie market) is deathly afraid of creativity. When was the last time you saw a movie that isn’t a remake/sequel, adaptation, or documentary?
There’s no way this shit is tax optimal, so many companies with super-specific purposes… unless it’s all to trigger specific tax regimes. Maybe they should simplify the corporate structure instead of axing creative staff they clearly need
There’s a quite a difference in saying that about someone’s home country, which is a pain in the ass to leave, vs about a community people can opt into and which does not really shape their lives
Yeah let’s be honest if the PCMR reddit community had the chance to holocaust console gamers they probably would. Here in the Fediverse we’re more civilized and gentlemanly and accepting but I think the name is fine, no one will go nazi over it.
