    With the amount of marketing it received, I think people would still stick to Valorent or Overwatch 2. I only see videos and posts about Concord being a flop, than promoting it.

    I guess the comment has an issue with the "fatal" in the headline, because the staff are unharmed.

    Which I find weird that they are more concern with wording than the act of aurstriking.

    • Save first. If you aren't living paycheck to paycheck, then always put your money in a separated bank account for saving.

    This help eliminating the need to keeping track of your spending.

    • If you tend to be fined for overdraft, then use an overdraft protection service. The service fee is much lower than the OD fee.

    Incorrect. The plan was to send a signal to the sun to signal that our sun has a civilized planet, so that an unspecified alien race would blow the sun up to prevent humanity any further.

    The Lost Crown, Just realized that I missed a charm after I beat the game

    One thing I dislike about this game it that Arthra gauge generates so slowly and depleted too easy that I rarely use a surge. Then I beat the game today with 90+% completion, then went back to collect things just to realize that there's a charm that generates the gauge when attack. Damn, feels like I played the game wrong, because this made fighting bosses tedious.

    Only if the living wage is far better or the job market in that country is better, so I can find another job if things don't work out as expected.

    Moving the country means I have to sacrifice some benefits that I already have like my family, dog, and house. Would have said yes in a heartbeat years ago, but not now.

    Based on the article, it seems like the issue only happens on a specific distro. Is it only Rocky or other Debians?

    I wonder if other distros experience similar issues. Maybe linux based users don't even install CS at all and try to leave their OS as lean as possible.

    One problem, though. In this case we still don't know the source of this money that they are handing out. Would it become gigantic public debts, while the money will change hands to corporates very soon? The entire country is monopolized by a handful of families.

    It's the only game from FromSoft that I've ever beaten. I find QoL much more bearable compared to DS1. Parrying allowed me to stand toe-to-toe against bosses also. No more rolling around.

    Was it Remake for DS or was it just a remaster?

    To me, remasters are like StarCraft remastered that gameplay stays the same, but the graphics got upgraded.

    Remakes are like FF7, Dead Space or System Shock that is made from scratch.

    So far, I like that attacks are well telegraphed. Not holding for seconds, then coming down on a flash like in ER or LoP, but I haven't even reached the second major boss yet.

    Personally, I like the new one over Lies of P. The transversal with the mix of the umbral and the living world feels less linear with some puzzle. Mobs are annoying, and weapons feel clunky, though.

    Let's see if I will grow to resent it more as I progress deeper.

    Found a dungeon full of knights and clerics last night. What's the lore behind them? From some in game notes, it looks like they are a legion of deserters, but they also have those penitent knights. I doubt that knights who are zealous enough to put on those dreadnaughts would desert the church.

    I would argue that some code test questions can be solved spontaneously, but they are limited to easy to some early medium questions, or patterns that are common enough.

    I guess this is more common in non FANG companies that don't have to filter out candidates just because of the sheer number alone.

    Not only you. The writing style is very tedious. It's even worse in the second book as it treats most characters as just plot devices.

    At least the climax felt awesome. These books are bloated and could've been thin down to like 30% and wouldn't lose much.

    Suggest an external monitor for programming and gaming

    I'm looking for an external monitor for both programming and gaming. Currently, I'm using a 1080p monitor, but I'm tired of turning my head between the macbook and the monitor when I have to deal with 3+ windows. So, I think a 2K monitor would be a nice improvement for my QoL, wouldn't hurt my GPU too much compared to a 4k monitor. Any suggestion or should I scrub the idea?

    how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

    Whenever a fast paced action game like Devil May Cry, Prodeus, HiFi Rush or Doom have a grading system then I would feel like not continuing them as if some one is judging my performance, instead of a bar to get better. It's weird that this feeling never happens in a game like Hitman or Overcooked. I view them as challenges, but not grading like in DMC.
