Final Fantasy 14's next big challenge: Making players feel like they're getting their monthly sub's worth—not just funding Square's flops while WoW stacks value in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I'm unfamiliar with software development output bottlencks and how they relate to artists. In your opinion, how could an increase in production artists not increase art production?

I’ve been a die-hard player since 2.0. I love where the game is at in a lot of places. My gripe is that for all the money this game brings in, we’re constantly being told that things are out of their budget. Getting all the races to be able to wear hats, for example. If XIV is their most lucrative title, why is the budget the excuse for EVERY little thing they “can’t” do?

If you buy someone’s kid a toy for their birthday or a holiday, how long before you’re not offended to find out it’s been chucked?

Those are his balls. Good luck unseeing it.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is "underperforming", says industry analyst in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Release it on PC then. Enough with the console exclusivity just to bitch that the game isn’t selling well.

Every substitute teacher I ever had called me Christophe thanks to the school district’s character limit.

Blizzard just revived Diablo 4 with a list of changes so massive that it's practically a new game in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I’ve been hearing “but wait, Blizzard fixed it” for over half my life at this point. Never once was it true.

Why does a prospective employer need my address? in c/workreform@lemmy.world

[-] tkohldesac@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

If I was employed by the employer, 100% they'll get the address. This is for an APPLICATION. That you don't even know for sure is the actual company. I hope people aren't just giving their address out to any faceless "person" on the Internet that asks.

I think they're just trying to verify that you're from a country they want to hire from and that you have a physical address. I just give them City Hall's address because it's in my same zip code and I doubt anyone's going to verify that I physically live there.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League has less than 1,000 players in c/playstation@lemmy.world

Howlongtobeat.com says the story is 10.5 hours long and the game’s been out for two weeks. I’m willing to bet most everyone that bought the game beat it already.

To whom it may yoho:

So I’ve got a linux server with Docker installed a a container with Deluge in it. I have 98 torrents currently in Active or Seeding status. My download and upload speeds are set according to my calculated rates for my speed test. Ports are set for incoming connections, that port is included in the Docker container config, allowed through the firewall on the server itself and forwarding set up on my router. I have 3 private trackers I’m testing with those 98 torrents and the torrents are a mix of high seeding demand torrents and just whatever I had sitting around. The only torrent out of 98 that are uploading anything is the Ubuntu torrent I’ve been using to see if it could be the private trackers.

Speed test:

Download speed is 347Mbps Upload speed is 23Mbps

DNS settings are set to use 75.75.75.75 and 76.76.76.76 and 8.8.8.8 on my router. My server is set to use the router as the DNS.

The 63430 port I’m using has been confirmed as open from external port checkers.

I have tried using qbitorrent on a separate machine and have been running into the same problems so it sounds like it’s a network-wide issue.

I am not behind a VPN (yet… though it sounds like it could be a requirement)

This is my home network and I own the Gateway so any ISP shenanigans would be from outside the home.

Does anyone have any suggestions? And is this the right place to ask?

Thank you in advance! I’m running out of hair to tear out!

Way late edit: In case anyone finds this in the future, my permissions were set incorrectly. The user that was running the torrent app didn’t have folder access…

What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] tkohldesac@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

I think there’s a difference between being a shitty person and being unwilling to help and being repeatedly used because you’ve helped out a couple of times before and now people end up leveraging your kindness. I personally subscribe to the line of thinking in the comment you replied to after giving the person I’m working with the benefit of the doubt that it’s a justified emergency a couple of times. I have a list of people at work now that I’ll still assist but I don’t jump at the opportunity as quickly because everything is an emergency to them and I think that’s just as shitty as not helping someone.

Just to clarify, I phrase it a bit differently: Not “piss-poor planning” but rather “a lack of planning” since it sounds less aggressive.

Futurama Revival to Cover COVID, Bitcoin, NFTs, and More in c/futurama@lemmy.world

As someone who’s gone through those same feelings on previous revivals, my recommendation is to remain cautiously pessimistic.

Stripped Screw Hole in Ceiling Advice (i.imgur.com)

I was hanging a ceiling fan in this room when I discovered that the mounting screw holes in the electrical box are stripped. My dad has suggested using JB Weld putty, letting it cure, drilling it out with a small bit and then using wood screws. First time homeowner and have neither the confidence nor the expertise to completely replace the box. Is my dad’s route the best course of action or is it a waste of time and/or dangerous to go that route?
