I have 14 abilities I want to use and have on keybind, and like 6 more that are situational but still would want them on keybind... ugh Aside from the lack of collision, it's a nice game, and the core story feels solid. With a bit of cleanup and adaptation it would have been an awesome sandbox I think. | ||

Well, with the way the skill trees work, you're gonna end up with a core group of abilities that will clearly be optimized for your build. I know there are preset things you can follow and it will even fill the skill trees for you as you level. I haven't played in a bit. Are you on the same server as PX (and me)? | ||

I gotta stop crashing immediately after dinner and waking up in the middle of the night. It's happened in the past too. I ended up playing hearthstone until 6 and then napped until 8. @magic players, we should qualify for the magic world cup and meet up there | ||

Friend of mine used to come over and chill after he got out of work and we watched it. Now there's too much dead time. | ||

How many of you guys have a Master's Degree? What was the experience like? Why did you get your Master's? Why didn't you get a Masters's? Also, how many of you are Code Monkeys? That is, how many of you do coding for a job? I know there are a few of you, but I'd like to hear from you. How'd you get the job? Anything you guys would recommend if I wanted to pursue the avenue of being a Code Monkey? Any tips that would make me more qualified? If you guys could be brutally honest with me that'd be fantastic. And I know that there are better places to ask this question, but frankly I'm looking for all of the feedback that I can get. This is my future that we're talking about so I want all the advice I can get. Thanks! | ||

I needed to know it in order to fix DB's that old people didn't know they broke. I don't have any certs and my degree is a bachelors in the arts (art school ftw?). I'm just decently good at understanding how logical things should work and then applying them through large use of Googlefu. | ||

This is my future that we're talking about so I want all the advice I can get. Thanks! I'm a full time Software Developer/Engineer, so I code pretty much 40 hours a week (give or take internet time). It can be fulfilling, but like any job it depends on what you're looking for not only in a job but in an environment. If you work directly with clients you have to have really good people skills and lots of patience and room for criticism. If you don't, you have to be prepared for the business portion of your business and your fellow developers to bump heads. Our company has been running into this quite a bit, where our project managers/business managers have one idea of how to proceed and the developers have another idea, and it clashes as to how priorities go and what is important for rollouts, especially if you have a complicated system. As for the job itself, coding can be menial or deep depending on the task you're working on. You may end up doing a lot of minor changes that feel repetitive and dull, but as you move up in skill and standing, you'll take charge of projects where you build new systems from scratch or completely revamp something existing. Another thing to consider is that technology is very, very fast moving. My advice is to find a technology and keep up with it, but not necessarily learn all the other ones. I do .NET programming with SQL databases. I know a bit of Java, Oracle, and a couple other technologies - but I don't make it my business to keep up with anything outside of the Microsoft technologies. And given the extensiveness of libraries and plugins, you still won't know everything, so you end up Googling a lot of things. (Thank you StackOverflow). It's a fulfilling job for me, but it takes a certain mindset and a lot of skills you might not realize you need. | ||
