Game was loads of fun tbh.
Doesn't live up to the hype, but that's ok for people like me who didn't get the hype due to never being a believer in the first place.

Anyone here have any suggestion for a good podcast for an introduction to finance e.g. derivatives, debt capital markets, stock investment etc? Some of the stuff has too much jargon for me xd

P.S. probably right to page eieio tbh but let's see

read matt levine's daily newsletter for a year, everyone in finance reads it and its very accessible and he is very funny and it's a lot of content

if you are coming at this from the angle of 'i would like to use my money to make money' you should just buy a few index funds and never think about anything else tho, do not get on robinhood do not do fancy things.

I know that 'odd lots' is a podcast that some people like but I can't vouch it myself and it's probably less accessible. Mostly just read matt levine trust me

ps i have been at my f i n a n c e job for over 3 years aint that wild

Thanks ol Mac also I'm really approaching it from a commercial lawyer perspective but I'm not there yet cos everyone kinda wants you to know and understand how different things affect clients and I think the equity and debt markets are some of those things. Not really investing in anything any time soon I haven't got much capital to work with just yet xd

Researching firms to tailor applications is tough for sure, I just realised I may be going to London once a month the next few months for networking opportunities and learning about different firms and I've been doing that every week for Edinburgh this month so fingers crossed I might get one of my top choices when the storm blows over

Who knows I might also be crazy enough to give Kirkland & Ellis a shot for their London office they've got 10 trainee slots but time will tell

Never finished it up but had some fun in the multiplayer as well as the single player. Was a simple mindless PvE if people abused the best weapons. Problem was getting those.

Yeeeup, I'm going through and beating all the ones I sucked at doing back when I was a kid, almost done with Age of Kings, should be able to finish Ghengis and Saladin tomorrow

The are so many African campaigns and the older ones are changed as well since there are 44 civs now.

Started the Yodit (Ethiopian) campaign but can't load into the maps. Second one worked after ~3 tries. Third one I have failed ~10 times loading, even switched to windowed mode and high instead of ultra settings to try it out. Guess I need to wait for a patch before going back to the game.

Have you tried to verify the game cache? Something probably didn't download correctly from the sounds of it.

Anyone following this don cherry stuff? I think the only actual hockey commentary iv ever heard from him was "Hockey fans ruined John Scott's career" during the 2016 all-star game, which I thought was insane.

I've already given my two cents on the Canadian politics thread, but the gist of it is: I think his heart was in the right place (supporting the troops) but implying that people born outside Canada aren't grateful to the nation because they don't buy a poppy is divisive bullshit. I've seen some comments from certain circles that say, "All he was asking for was that immigrants respect the country they're in! You sensitive liberals need to get over it!", but there's a difference between demanding some assimilation and respect for your host country, and saying immigrants are ingrates for not giving $2 every November. Why he wouldn't mention the hordes of Canadian-borns who don't buy a poppy is beyond me, because I've seen a lot of those.

The guy has the sensibilities of a very different generation and he's always been a loudmouth who gets into trouble so it's not a surprise to me.

Worked after a restart. Think it was some conflict with the video player for Twitch since my browser also crashed a few times.

LoL is a fine game, given that you understand it's generally a lot more in-the-moment-focused than dota is (If you're playing adc and fuck up a flash or misposition once it can be game just like that), its just matchmaking having no real guidelines and you literally being able to smurf infinite accounts using the same email address that makes me not fucking play it.

If it had a behavior system so I wasn't playing with vocally shitty humans every game I'm sure I'd enjoy it... so yeah, a 5 stack makes sense :D

The only real part I'm 100% willing to stick to for "League is shittier than dota" is the client. League's client is fucking terrible. You can't look at your opponent (or allies) abilities in-game and basically all your 'in-client' learning is actually impossible and you gotta go to google. The number of times I've run into 'I have no fucking idea what this champion does' only to be met with "Go watch the champion spotlight for it" frustrates the fuck out of me.

I am so glad I'm not the only one that can't stand league's client not being able to see opponents or even your teammates abilities. Hell you can't even get the numbers of other heroes abilities in the launcher, the only way to do it is go the wiki or play the damn hero, it's so annoying. I dabble in league a fair bit but will always prefer dota even if the actual gameplay of dota was worse(even though currently it's much better) if for no other reason than the functionality of a client.

ranged
some kind of gap close movement ability
on hit effect that hurts the more they hit me (and they will eventually crit anyway)

You can't even see how your own fucking abilities scale when you're ranking them up. No stuns for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds or anything, nor direct AP/AD/health/armour/whatever scaling ratios most of the time. Mostly it's just "Ranking it up increases its damage and lowers its cooldown some"

Learning that game is so fucking frustrating and shitty.
