We had a supposedly critical server go down. Then we checked and found the process the server is hosting hasn't been working for 2 weeks and our clients have not raised anything. Amazing we get paid for this.

@BruceVC your argument is basically a variation of "some of my best friends are black." Some additional reading if you're interested. And TVTropes is usually pretty good time.

This week our PM lead went on vacation and I was acting lead. We had 4 production incidents this week... They ranged from a random piece of old code that started producing issues without any reason, to our dev ops deleting our cron job server. Suffice to say, my working days this week were averaging to around 12 hours... Well if nothing else it was a learning experience.

Had a fantastic day at work thanks to CrowdStrike. Although, yeah, I guess it's the ultimate way to secure computer systems: make sure they don't work at all.

You’re laughing, but a Danish comedian once got elected on promises of more tailwind for bicyclists and free Nutella on the school kids lunch meals. He was shell shocked when he realised he had to spend the next few years in parliament. Not just as a faceless pm, but that one crucial vote needed in a hung parliament to get legislation through 😂

Got a good laugh as we have to raise an IT ticket to.....update our profile photo on Teams. Corporate life is like being in elementary school.

I'm deep into Cyberpunk 2077 again. Remembered one of the last patches added new bikes, so went out of my way to buy a new one. Here is my with my new ride. Wish I were that cool in real life.

I tried adjusting usageValue but it seems it does not affect power pool costs. I then added "IsClassPowerPoolCount(This, Wizard, GreaterThanOrEqualTo, 2)" in ActivationPrerequisites and adding addResource statuseffect that removes 2 casts but it seems I might be missing a way to specify it to level 1 spells. Are there any values that needs to be modified that I might have missed?

Played a little bit of RealRTCW. I loved the original Return to Castle Wolfenstein so this is a great way to replay the game. It also adds coop to the game but I haven't tried that yet. Also playing Skyrim on the PS5. Looks great and plays great. My dark elf warrior/mage destroys everything in its path.

Thank you. Seeing that I'm not the only one to whom this is happening gives me some hopes. I figured out how to contact support almost immediately after writing this post :P. I have already asked them. Let's cross our fingers ^^".

that is as delusional as claiming racism no longer exist in usa since they elected obama at 08

Now that you mention it, I'm seeing the same thing on my end (Pillars of Eternity - Definitive Edition, Steam version). "Preorder Item and Pet" appears in the list of DLC and is shown as being enabled, but doesn't get added to a new character's inventory. There's a link to contact support in the first post of this thread: There'll be a box on the right where you can contact custom support directly. Though if you are using Firefox you might need to disable "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to see it.

The only color they see is green. 🤑

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et Apparently some cybersecurity package has decided that Windows is malware and tries forcefully to remove it… all over the world. Affecting everything from cloud hosting over airlines to scheduled surgeries and tv stations There have been reports suggesting that a cybersecurity company called Crowdstrike, which produces antivirus software, issued a software update that has gone horribly wrong and is bricking Windows devices - prompting the so-called "blue screen of death" on PCs.

--On the one hand: haven't played it in a long while, this is a massive world/everything generation update! Exploration might be fun/feel new again for a while! (new ships/space station designs in earlier updates I didn't care one whit about) --On the other hand: probably a 20% chance any old saves and their main bases are broken (misshaped, half deleted, underground, whatever) by planet generation changes under your feet. Your fave planet could be entirely different/a different biome all of a sudden, stuff like that. If hit by that, one has to deal with, or just write those saves off (which would include your ships, freighters, collections) and start anew. ---either performance fix patches will be incoming, or might need a 4080 to run it at 4k. Might give an idea how Light No Fire might run tho. 😛 ---And do I try to preserve my install of older version of game to play it totally Offline if I can't stand/run this new version? More work. Sigh. I'll think about it for the weekend. But it looks nice!

Well, the antivaxxer YouTube channel YouTube keeps suggesting I watch, has a video explaining the Secret Service failed to protect Trump because they were DEI hires. So why should Steam forums be any better.

Japanese lawmaker is considering to start an investigation against Ubisoft, due to the cultural appropriation and other cultural inaccuracies present in their latest checkbox simulator. https://nichegamer.com/japanese-politician-investigation-assassins-creed-shadows-inaccuracies/

Pretty simple, you would just relocate a chest/basket to a Zipline and it would attach, maybe even have a option where it doesn't move until you send it so you can load stuff into the container before sending it off. I think this would be an amazing thing for people who like to go on long gathering sessions across the map or maybe want to make a new base but don't want to deal with the relocation of their chests. I mean if a player puts the work in to have Ziplines going all over the map, maybe we should be able to do more and have ways to maybe just send items over long distances like with the stems. This could even be really helpful if you have a multiplayer world and your friend needs food or repair ingredients for their stuff but are all the way across the map, instead of just heading home their friend could just send over stuff and they can continue on with whatever they need to do across the map

Hi Team, I have been playing through the White March II campaign, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't complete the recitation. I checked online, and was told that a giftbearer should be at a certain location and that I could get the necessary dialog line from speaking to them. The only problem is that there is nobody at the specified location. There are some unnamed npcs around the room, but I've gone all through the building and do not see this named npc anywhere. Is there a known issue that can cause this individual to disappear? Is there a fix? I have uploaded my save game if needed. You can find it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u5m1voqsiausi29/3323b17f-a476-44e1-a2d0-d72f8a95bac1%20autosave_2.savegame?dl=0 Thanks in advance. Bullshaz

Let's not get too attached to the bit here, no one likes Ben Shapiro. I'd like to say I haven't heard of Dave Rubin in a long time, but currently he's trying to launch a Twitter orginal series that's just ripping off a 20-year old Simpsons joke with very bad animation.

Dave Rubin also likes his friend Ben Shapiro ?

Lou Dobbs

So some dude with a brown wife undoes his rhetoric in the past and association with people like Miller ? For amusement, there's a wikipedia page of all things on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump I didn't check the discusison or edit pages, but they must be a hoot.

No thats not my point at all but I do find that funny Vance is not saying " I have black friends" which in itself is often misunderstood when white people say that and it becomes a meme even when its well meaning He doesnt need to say that because he has a wife who is Indian Im saying Vance being nominated as VP is an example of how you cant make a convincing argument that Trump is a racist or white supremacist. He had several other suitable candidates who are white and married to white women and he could have selected them if hidden white supremacy was what he believed in . You can absolutely criticize Vance and Trump on many things but not the whole " they racist " And just for record real racists dont go around saying " I have black friends", they really dont unless they certain politicians or public figures and they feel they have to say it Its like Neo-Nazi dont go around saying " I like Jews. I have friends who are Jews " Its goes against there fundamental ideological beliefs and bigotry
