So, even if the company wanted you to come in 3 days a week, what was stopping you from commiting to the whole 5 days? I don’t think a company would say no if someone wished to go to the office even more often.
We’re doing hybrid too where I work, but I still go in 5 days a week, even if that means there are times (generally Monday and Friday) when there aren’t as many people around.
I wouldn’t label things they changed compared to 5e rules as necessarily broken, unless the way they say it’s implemented doesn’t actually match what’s happening.
I picked half elf as race initially because I was used to the +2 +1 +1 spread they get, which isn’t the case in the game, or hypnotic pattern, which only lasts 2 turns instead of 10. Is the game broken? No, it’s just me assuming stuff will be 1 to 1 to the 5e rules. And it goes both ways, took me a bit to realize they don’t follow the spellcasting rules to a t, and you can cast leveled spells with both your action and your bonus action.
Got any links to support these claims? I’d be interested to know more for when people bring up the same argument as the person you’re replying to.
XCOM meets Diablo is a decent enough way of putting it, as long as you don’t expect the mechanics to be 1:1. Since you brought up positioning, there’s no grid for movement, or flanking, for example. Battles are turn-based, like XCOM, but it’s not split in player turn and AI turn, instead, each individual character/npc gets its own turn, with the order decided based on dice rolls and whatever modifiers are applicable.
It looks to me like you’re talking about something else compared to the person you’re replying to.
To my eyes, he’s arguing in favor of the technology as a concept, while you’re arguing against specific products (let’s say midjourney, for the sake of the discussion). If midjourney proved beyond any doubt that their model was trained on a data set that they had rights to (by buying them from artists, or the images already being copyright free, doesn’t matter), would you still be against it?
Similarly, you said you’re against your work being used for commercial purposes, but would you be ok with me training a model on your work, and then using AI to generate images in your style that I use as, for example, character art for my DnD games that I will pay with friends? (making an assumption here, don’t know what kind of artist you are)
Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they’re some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.
Started hitting the gym for about 4 months now, what has helped me a lot is getting a personal trainer, he helps me push past the last 5%, and it gives me someone to talk to between reps. And while I don’t necessarily get pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, I do get it afterwards, when feeling my muscles burn. And it does wonders for my energy levels and my general mood.
I also started running a month ago, I promised someone I will participate in a 10k in October with them. This is definitely more on the “existence is pain” side, but while doing it I try to focus more on my form and breathing, and less on how it makes me feel.
May I ask why? This coming from the guy that has to facilitate them.
I’m especially curious about the stand-ups, since I have mixed feelings about retrospectives myself, they have their place and I think they play a part in a team’s growth, but at the same time I’d rather just cancel them if I don’t feel we’d get anything useful out of it and I don’t want to hold a retro just because the process says so.
LE: Gonna just edit this to say thank you to the people who replied, gave me some new perspectives to think about.
