AMAs are the latest casualty in Reddit’s API war
  • Wouldn't technically moving from hosting communities to having such a heavy involvement in their management be against the safe harbour protection?

    Will you try a new class for Season 1 or replay your previous one?
  • A bit to explain what's the point of seasons in arpgs: basically a season gets a few new changes/mechanics that are supposed to change the experience. Everyone starts fresh, and the seasons theme is what makes it different. It also affects the balance of the game, because it means all the new mechanics affect you from early game - instead of balancing mechanics around uber late game grinders.
    With living games, you either do vertical progression, or horizontal progression, or you do seasons and wipe the board clean.

    As a casual-ish player I like seasons because everyone is expected to run around sub-optimal setups and the game is balanced around that. Getting stronger is kinda the point. Then once I reach a certain point where my setup is "good enough" I can call it for the season. I've "completed" the season, and people who want to push further can keep going and keep perfecting their builds until the season is over.

    I'm d3 I've played every 2/3 seasons, each time a DH build, and it was a fresh experience each time.

    The Diablo clickbait is unreal, is the enshitification of the internet reaching the gaming communities now?
  • Saw a clickbait with something like "<person I've never heard of> SHARES SECRET HACKS TO REROLL AND UPGRADE YOUR GEAR STATS", the secret was to upgrade your gear and to reroll an attribute 😹 kinda died.

    Why IBM got a reputation of destroying everything they touch?
  • Anecdotally, every interaction I or many friends had with IBM left a "is this the 90s" taste.
    It feels super disorganized but it's still a big corp, "simple" dev position hard require a degree (like, their system just wouldn't let a friend submit their application because they didn't press the checkmark lol) - usually it's not a hard requirement in our local market. I'm still waiting 5 years later for the VP of the BU I was interviewing at to return from his vacation to "approve my hire" LOL (for all concerned I found work at a different company... But still amusing to think about that guy spending 5 years in vacation...).

    Just examples, but feels like there's some internal process/management failures higher up the food chain. Their devs create pretty innovative things, then nothing is actually done with that lol.

    how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.
  • Anecdotal: my neighbors entryway is recessed, and as so happens to be like 20 meters away from a window on the second floor of my house. There's a ton of vegetation between us, but even if people are whispering there - I can hear it like they are right next to me. Especially when they are screaming at their kids to "be quiet"🫠.
    It's possible that your neighbor found some spot where sound from your house travels to. Do you normally take phone calls in a specific area of the house? Vs where you usually have guests over?

  • What to look for in power tools for a disabled home owner?

    Might be the wrong place, but I hope some people have some experience with the topic.

    In short I want to purchase a drill-thing for general basic home repairs. Hanging shelves that sort of thing. "Problem" is that there's so much info and features and I'm kinda drowning. Everything looks nearly identical. The more I research the more confused I get.

    Bonus restraints: cinderblock and concrete construction is how it's done here (so need a thingy that's strong enough to drill a bit into cinderblocks?), and the major-er problem is that I need something that doesn't put a lot of strain or kickback(??) on the user. Due to medical issues I can't really put much weight/pressure on a tool.

    So far I got that a drill is for holes and a driver is for screws (so I guess I need both?). Brushless is more better because parts don't touch and magnets is power? More power is less weight you need to put into it but more power needs more strength???? I'll obv go to the store and try to hold various models but I don't really know what I need to look for. Maybe I just need an electric screwdriver lol? 🫠 Big confuse plz help.
