[ashen ravine]

LET IT SNUS

[ornate iris]

Exam went well

[brazen eagle]

nicuu!!

[ornate iris]

profs are troll as fuck though

We had a midterm for 10% of our grade that was pretty easy but i didnt study

You’re able to make a question on the exam to improve your midterm grade

But on the exam and this resit it was the hardest fucking question imaginable

Literally just saying “shouldve studied for midterm u bum”

[brazen eagle]

worse exam we had was 1 point gain for a correct answer and 1 point loss for a incorrect with requireing 50/100 to pass

even with slightly lowering the point loss

[ornate iris]

yikesss

[brazen eagle]

we had like 15% pass

(i was one of them luckily)

the problem with it is (if its not obviouse)

that you now can't answer any question you are not 100% sure

and even if you would, one mistake basically loses you a correct one

[ornate iris]

wait, could you not answer?

and just have net zero

[brazen eagle]

well

0/100 is a failing exam

you need 50 correct answers to pass

[ornate iris]

it was multiple choice at least then right

[brazen eagle]

but also need to not have more than 25 of the remaining questions wrong

[ornate iris]

Or was it open questions with point deduction

because that would be hell incarnate

[brazen eagle]

most answers ended up beeing single choice, some multiple choice, some ended up beeing things you needed to work out

so all of it

even worse, you wouldn't know which questions are multiple choice

could only look at the point count and estimate

[ornate iris]

That teacher aint making it to heaven

[brazen eagle]

he was lectured by the administration

same as our math prof

who had no one passing on the exam

[ornate iris]

yeah our uni went through that phase a few years back before covid

When everything was hard as fuck

[brazen eagle]

and after that

[ornate iris]

I’m at the top end of the cycle now where its a lot easier

Students in 2-3 years are fucked

[brazen eagle]

he had exactly 50% who ended up barely passing

i was happy i couldn't make it to the first test because i had a diffrent exam on the same day

the prof also was send to pension 2 years later

[brazen eagle]

i think university gets more approachable not less

but we will see

education is a tough topic to talk about because we atm have a somewhat functional but most broken system

[ornate iris]

nah someone did a study last year

at our uni

Theres a wave cycle of pass rates for subjects fluctuating every 3-5 years

Bit random still but

Definitely up and down trends

[brazen eagle]

keep in mind that covid did also lead to regression in education levels

so having higher fail rates is to be expected

there are some other problems too now

the fear of llms makes publishing a lot harder for a student too

[brazen eagle]

in fact someone told me recently that papers on some universities are being mass rejected because their software for plagiarism is basically gatekeeping most papers.

so people now use llm's to re-phrase their papers to pass the plagiarism checks

and additionally start to remove references to other papers and quotes because they higher the "amount of plagiarism in the paper"

[undone bone]

lul meanwhile i had to send things handwritten

crazy world it has been in 10 years

now i dont think i've written anything in so long

[brazen eagle]

you can't put hand written stuff through a checker tool

would need to do ocr etc.

[undone bone]

think my professor at a time would need help to first open the computer

then you need to teach what an ocr is

[brazen eagle]

haha

[undone bone]

he was a beast tho

but it was one of the things i found funny at a time

[brazen eagle]

one of our math professors was funny

he was infront of an audience of computer science students

and was ranting how slow computers are

saying he could turn on and use a computer years ago, but you need a minute to boot a modern one

[undone bone]

the world of ssds is crazy

i dont think i could go back

[brazen eagle]

we will possibly see a generational change for compute soon

[ornate iris]

You mean quantum?

[brazen eagle]

no

but better materials or diffrent approaches

so we could see more than the "year to year improvement" but a more significant jump

just very hard to predict when

[undone bone]

enterprise GPU and CPU are crazy

i have gotten my hands on some but others are harder to get

my H100 have still not shipped

[brazen eagle]

intels new llm hardware is rly nice

and h100 or similar are way too expensive

[undone bone]

but i know some people that are trying the new EPYC and INTEL CPU

well they are workload machines

so you wont go and fire a game

it wont use the 1tb of RAM it has etc

[brazen eagle]

ai hardware is not designed for it ^^

[undone bone]

it is not only AI per se they work quite well for compute and parallel calcs

[undone bone]

what i will kinda use them

[lean stump]

i am doing this

[undone bone]

although AI seems fun to try

i was told warframe is a cool game

but i never was into mech or fps

[brazen eagle]

gpus are maybe better for paralell computing

also hot take, i wouldn't be surprised if nvidias market position gets challanged within the next year or two

[undone bone]

well it could be there were some news of a company that had some bold claims

but getting people to review those is almost impossible

[brazen eagle]

you mean a startup?

[undone bone]

dont remember

[ornate iris]

isnt the only massive jump remaining (in processors anyway) quantum computing

[brazen eagle]

no

[ornate iris]

Feel like I always read about the chip size hitting some physical limit

Where they cant get any smaller

[brazen eagle]

you can get a lot more density and energy efficiency by using diffrent materials

https://spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-interference-transistor

^ e.g. like this article talking about graphene

there are also other approaches like optical computing or analog computing

[undone bone]

yea the thing is with so much invested in the already existing fabs it is hard for advances to go through

[brazen eagle]

quantum in general has a lot of news coverage, but there are more than enough other areas to be explored

allowing a "leap" in performance/efficiency

[ornate iris]

Interesting

I know a lot more about the political side of chip production than the technical side funnily enough

Me being engi major and all

[undone bone]

ahaha happens yea

[brazen eagle]

not all new technologies need a complete redesign of the fabrication

[ornate iris]

The main reason china hasnt invaded taiwan yet atp is the whole chip industry / system production there

Too valuable for the west thus too risky for china to invade

[hasty nova]

There was for certain manufacturing interfaces, but you find a way.

Photo lithography is pretty neat

Immersion lith. Too

Etc.

[ornate iris]

for the exam

If i reviewed it correctly

[brazen eagle]

Which ones do you want

[umbral whale]

I mean d4 is unfixable

[faint elbow]

Only assa and nitro booster :)

[umbral whale]

The game at its core is not a good arpg. I only find the song funny and a banger I don't really care if it's good or bad.

And this season of poe is fine. It's not great but it's not shit.

[calm elbow]

You get a different shade of red, special icon, and a unique channel that is never used

[pulsar trail]

They actually nerfed half the money making schemes with the sextant removal because 99% of the scarabs are fucking useless

They nerfed like 8 builds and gave us…. Archmage

People keep apologizing for GGG’s fuck ups and it’s hilarious

[umbral whale]

Well the money making stuff is like. Do something else.

There's other options to make money. That's whatever.

[pulsar trail]

Stop pretending they’re a small indie company, they haven’t been for close to half of a decade now

They made 52m NZD last year

[umbral whale]

But I agree with you on the t17s and the nerfs

[pulsar trail]

Small indie my asshole

If blizzard made the same fuck ups that GGG made, they’d be skewered beyond belief

But because GGG does no wrong, everyone fellates them as if they’re god’s gift to game development

So when d4 becomes a better game, and it will. I’d love to see what people like you and Quinn69 have to say

Because unlike GGG, blizzard is actively engaging with the community and bringing changes players want

[umbral whale]

It won't though. The game at its foundation is kinda busted.

They shouldn't need to talk to players

[pulsar trail]

They shouldn’t?

What kind of business doesn’t listen to its customers?

[umbral whale]

No it's a problem they don't just get it

All of the things they need "feedback" on is shit that they should've known by default

[calm elbow]

Blizzard came back from BfA and SL, that's impressive

[pulsar trail]

Are you actually this dense, or is it a bit?

I can’t tell anymore

Your personality fluctuates so often, I wonder which Hataro we’ll get this afternoon

The expert on ARPGs or the new found law man

[umbral whale]

New found?

[calm elbow]

He's always that Dallass fan to me

[umbral whale]

I dunno dude. Eventually at some point. You need to just make a good game and not need your hand held through every step.

Look at LE

[pulsar trail]

It’s just funny how you have the knowledge of ARPGs to say d4 is fundamentally bad while providing zero evidence backing your claim

Yeah let’s look at LE

Besides crafting and their filter system, name something LE does better than any other ARPG

Because their end game makes Diablo 4s look like it has the depth of the encyclopedia Britannica

[umbral whale]

I mean it's more new player friendly than poe

[pulsar trail]

It’s d3s end game with like 3 extra steps lmfao

It’s entire baseline is Diablo 3, you need legendary effects to make builds work

And everyone shit on Diablo 3 for over a DECADE

Let’s call a spade a spade, the only reason d4 gets so much hate is because it’s cool to hate on blizzard

It’s not fundamentally a bad game, and to say so means you haven’t played it or haven’t played it enough

[umbral whale]

Well no it's just a bad arpg is why.

It's a good game for what it is. But the problems were evident from the beta

[pulsar trail]

It’s not a bad ARPG though

[umbral whale]

Yes it is lmaon

[pulsar trail]

No it’s not

What makes it a bad arpg

[umbral whale]

Itemization is crap, there's virtually no end game, the skills system has 0 depth, the dungeons are terribly designed, the cooldowns system is awful and clunky, the builder/spender style of resource gen is crap.

[pulsar trail]

They’re actively fixing itemization, season 4 expands on the itemization significantly, the end game is building with more bosses to kill and alternatives to nightmare dungeons being added, the builder/spender style is an arpg element lmao and is present in every arpg and you can itemize away from that, CD system is clunky I agree with that

D3 has builder/spender, Poe has it to a certain extent but their itemization allows you to remove the active part through shit like instant leech, LE for sure has it

LE also has cooldowns

So

How is d4 fundamentally a bad arpg if Poe and LE have similar limitations

Also comparing d4 end game to Poe which has been around for 12 years is fucking stupid

Because early Poe end game was farming dominus for loot

Sounds sick bro

An act boss

Lmfao

At least d4 had an Uber boss right out of the gate

But yeah

D4 fundamentally bad

Keep getting your information from Quinn and the rest of the Poe streamers

Hope you bring this same heat to poe2

Considering it’s made by a multi million dollar developer backed by a trillion dollar Chinese tech company

[umbral whale]

We ain't comparing d4 to early poe we're comparing d4 to poe nown

It's not fair but that's it

[pulsar trail]

And why the fuck would you do that

[umbral whale]

Same thing that other mmos had to compare themselves to wow

Because we don't have time travel

[pulsar trail]

That’s like comparing you applying for law school to Johnny Cochran

????

What kind of comparison is that

[umbral whale]

And you compare products as they exist now to other products as they exist now

[pulsar trail]

Well you see compared to this game that’s had seasonal content for over a decade, d4 has no end game!

If you think blizzard even considered GGG or POE in the creation of d4 you’re high as fuck

So I guess comparing them generally is pointless

[umbral whale]

Yes that's kind of the problem

[pulsar trail]

Why is that a problem

[umbral whale]

Because your goal should be to provide the best product possible, better than that of your competitors

[pulsar trail]

You act as if every arpg player wants to play poe

Cause the numbers aren’t there to even begin to justify that thought process

[waxen latch]

its the VISION

THE VISION MAN

YOU DONT GET IT

[pulsar trail]

Maybe, just maybe, we need people to make different games within a genre to make the genre more accessible

[elder patrol]

!vibe I dont like arpgs

[hollow raven]

140: You're not being very chill but we can work on it. Do a lap and reassess your vibe.

[pulsar trail]

Instead of this neckbeard fest that ggg fanboys want to turn it into

[waxen latch]

mate

PoE is a niche game

like

[umbral whale]

Poe is arpgs

[pulsar trail]

“LUL D4 BAD”

[waxen latch]

NOBODY knows PoE except PoE players and arpg fans

[umbral whale]

It's the pinnacle of the genre

[waxen latch]

many many people know diablo

[umbral whale]

I dunno man

[pulsar trail]

Diablo literally invented the genre

[umbral whale]

Yeah 20 years ago

[pulsar trail]

And the genre isn’t Diablo 2 anymore

This isn’t 1999

[waxen latch]

^

[umbral whale]

D2 is better than d4 lmao

[brazen eagle]

this sounds familiar to the average wow player

[pulsar trail]

No matter how much GGG wants to pretend it is with their shitty interfaces

[umbral whale]

A 20 year old game

With fuck all to do

But spam CS with teleport

Has more depth

[waxen latch]

eh, the average wow player is shitting on blizz 24/7 while playing it

[pulsar trail]

No it doesn’t lmfao

Can we stop pretending d2 had some immeasurable depth

You literally ran campaign bosses for loot

Just stop

[umbral whale]

I said it doesn't have depth

And it is still more than d4

[pulsar trail]

D4 has 5 fucking Uber bosses

[waxen latch]

mate, d2 was

do story

re-do campaing bosses for loot

the end

[pulsar trail]

Nightmare dungeons

[waxen latch]

lol

[pulsar trail]

Vaults

You’re just fucking wrong

[brazen eagle]

think thats any popular online game

[pulsar trail]

And you’re so confident about it

[brazen eagle]

ask a league of legends player

[pulsar trail]

It’s fucking laughable

Like you’re spouting Poe twitch responses to me

Educate yourself before being so confident for the love of god

[waxen latch]

ye the thing is more like, PoE fanboys spend more time shitting on other games (aka diablo) then actually playing the game

like, i played PoE daily during Delve league, and every 2nd sentence in Global chat was OMG DIABLO IS SO BAD

legit rent free

[pulsar trail]

Like wow man great take

[waxen latch]

poe players are "special" kids

[pulsar trail]

The game with 13 years of development has more depth? What a fucking revelation

[brazen eagle]

think thats the point of LE, its a better balance

[pulsar trail]

GGG made their servers legitimately unplayable for like a month

No one said shit

[calm elbow]

Could never understand the appeal of PoE

[pulsar trail]

Because Chris Wilson and company can do no wrong

Ever

[brazen eagle]

i don't think Diablo is the best arpg, its a decent game and no iteration was truely terrible

[waxen latch]

the thing that just annoys me is

if other games would do 10% of the shit that GGG is pulling, people would just call them out and stop playing at some point

[pulsar trail]

People are acting like Diablo 4 is the same game that released in June

It’s hilarious

[brazen eagle]

d4 def. had a lot of good changes

[pulsar trail]

It’s just the Poe fanboys man

They just can’t handle anything that isn’t Poe

They’re all irrational babies

[brazen eagle]

its funny

because arpgs are way easier to exchange

[pulsar trail]

Like the amount of friction for a new player to actually be able to enjoy Poe is absolutely ridiculous and irrational to keep in the game

[brazen eagle]

wow is the one game that has players who identify themselfs as wow players and are typically not mmorpg players

[pulsar trail]

But that’s what they want

No one criticizes them for that

Chris even said it in an interview

[brazen eagle]

most other games/genres are easy to switch between.
Mobas, BR games, Arpgs

[pulsar trail]

“I don’t want players to commit time and not like the game; I want them to do research”

Like nice man, expect players to get a phd in Poe to actually enjoy it

Fantastic business model

[brazen eagle]

poe is doing great

so it works for them

[pulsar trail]

Cause people spend obscene amounts of money on mtx and stash tabs and supporter packs

[waxen latch]

would you recommend it at this point?

[brazen eagle]

i would say its decent enough by now, and i only vaguely follow it

[pulsar trail]

I would recommend d4 to anyone interested in the genre yeah

[brazen eagle]

but i think i would suggest LE over d4 probably

[pulsar trail]

Esp with s4 around the corner

S4 has so many great changes coming

Itemization is significantly improving

Like night and day, made crafting a little more in depth

Making legendaries isn’t ass anymore

[waxen latch]

nah lol, thats not true at all

[pulsar trail]

Now you don’t need to drop multiple legendaries to hope you can extract a good rolled one to imprint

You just salvage them and it upgrades their power in your codex of power

[brazen eagle]

it is one of the two things i am fairly confident about

[pulsar trail]

So you can imprint max rolled legendaries forever in the season

[brazen eagle]

number two is that wow players rly like to be in the blizz ecosystem

[brazen eagle]

nicu

[waxen latch]

no its not true because EVERY mmo player almost always stays in 1 game

[pulsar trail]

Blizzard is just apple of the gaming world, the people who play their games enjoy them, and people outside of that sphere love to hate on them

[waxen latch]

thats not a wow thing

[pulsar trail]

It’s absolutely ridiculous lmao

[brazen eagle]

i don't know of any other big mmorpg outside of final fantasy

so can't compare

each wow competition i know of had a surge of players initially also from wow

[elder patrol]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/747561446539395205/1227623318291480626/GKvF1C7XoAITTBH.png?ex=6629144f&is=66169f4f&hm=ad84e3576553cea571ca4f5e3fda38d4d923f61939582b569ca968cba19bf391&

[brazen eagle]

but fairly quickly died out, because people missed some specifics from wow

also no mmorpg rly had a universe as popular as blizz

and a big appeal of mmos is the world

[sinful terrace]

I joined wow back in the day because they never came out with warcraft4 and I followed the story

[brazen eagle]

wow has still most of their story in wacraft

[calm elbow]

I joined WoW in Wrath because I had a cheap laptop and we were living in hotels so I wanted something to distract me

[sinful terrace]

Still hoping for warcraft4

[elder patrol]

my sister made me play wow in 2007 iirc,that was like mid tbc?

[brazen eagle]

around tbc release

mid 2007

i only played wotlk because i had friends who played it

then went away from the blizz universe to never come back ^^

[faint cliff]

I joined then as well

[waxen latch]

..........real

[brazen eagle]

to later in legion get pulled in again by my gf

[brazen eagle]

think a new aoe or starcraft would be more realistic

[pulsar trail]

I played wow from the first iteration cuz I loved the Warcraft story

[elder patrol]

maybe ow3

[pulsar trail]

And I played an orc warrior because my favorite hero was the blademaster lol

I was disappointed that whirlwind was not bladestorm

[brazen eagle]

haha

i started as a druid, but had like 3 friends play druid

then tried hunter, hated it and went to rogue

[waxen latch]

i started rogue cus i hate myself

[elder patrol]

tried lock at first then went rogue,yes as the joke says

[umbral whale]

I started rogue cause it's the best class

Stayed cause it has the best community

[brazen eagle]

my fav. heroes in wc3:

• deamon hunter
• dark ranger

[sinful terrace]

Rogue was bis with stealth, could explore a lot without having to fight everything

[umbral whale]

Even going back as far as MoP and cata the rogue TC community has been miles ahead of everyone else.

I couldn't play other classes in MoP because of shadowcraft being so much better.

[elder patrol]

getting item ids so you can sim

[umbral whale]

Like peasants using ask Mr robot

While we have gigachad shadowcraft

[brazen eagle]

tbh nothing wrong with askmr.

[umbral whale]

No but it wasn't shadowcraft

[brazen eagle]

they at least for a short while ended up beeing active in discord

but approaches to TC ended up beeing very diffrent

and the result was, that their tool was noticable worse in any way

they also re-invented the wheel instead of just using simc

[umbral whale]

Also rogue was immortal back then

With cloak and perma feint

[brazen eagle]

i am actually interessted how well classic cata works

because cata is (sorry classic players)

not very appealing

[elder patrol]

sounds like retail now

[umbral whale]

Ye but you remember no CD feint

[brazen eagle]

mop would be a xpac i could see myself trying to play

[elder patrol]

oh ye

[brazen eagle]

did you play non stop? or had a break between?

[pulsar trail]

I played until the end of tbc

Quit for a bit, came back for ulduar and ICC

Played 2 days of cata and then quit until the end of legion

[brazen eagle]

ah thats not too bad

different kinds of offal

some of them still had things in them

kinda of a 2 for 1 deal

but decomposing

and kinda uh

not tasty?

[brazen eagle]

sounds meh

[undone bone]

well i try to eat things that wont poison me so worst i've had is those kind of things

i dont flinch even with decomposing things or bad smells

like lutefisk or surmstrong or whatever it is called

[waxen latch]

yeha sure

cus you never had an actual decomposing thing

[undone bone]

depends some of them had worms etc but some fire and it was mostly ok

[waxen latch]

open a crate that was 2 weeks on delivery and then get greeted with a rotten maggot ridden dead bird

thats when you actually know how bad decomposing bodies smell

(i threw up btw)

[undone bone]

well it is not like i've never had the opportunity

but why would i want to eat that?

[brazen eagle]

i am picky with the very smelly stuff

also not a big fan of most fish

[undone bone]

i used to be until i had to eat what i killed

in the farm

literal wring the neck of the chicken then have to gut it etc

worst ive ever seen (well, smelled) was a really mentally ill old lady who had necrotic tissue all over her foot and had stuffed the wound with tissue paper, so there was just decomposing paper and maggots under her sock

imagine it was a pretty similar smell

[clever sleet]

Yeah necrotic tissue in general is rough.
It’s very similar and I won’t gatekeep and go “well x is worse” because that’s kind of the point where. It doesn’t get much worse if worse at all

[undone bone]

yea i don't mind smells as much but still they are kinda oofers

[ornate iris]

Im glad that I’ve never had to smell that before

[undone bone]
