Why the fuck are you wiring networks now?
Because the new office doesn't have them. Heck, barely has enough power (and that's technically under question too). We're kinda running out of money, see...
Why, did the desire for an office in the trendy part of town by the sales/marketing department eat up all the budget?
I'm thinking the "not having a deliverable product" problem is primarily at fault here. Like it is for many start-ups. Cash flow is a bugbear.

@Benjamin-Hall Yeah, but I still think having the same guy who creates game assets, VR stuff, manages servers, databases, also lay cables might not be best use of his expertise.

Oh absolutely. But when needs must...
And failing businesses aren't known for being efficient. That, in fact, is one of the reasons they're failing in most cases.

As I said: Fuck Nintendo.
Oh, excellent. They want me to respond to a survey...
Oh wait, it's about their customer service? Well, the dude wasn't at fault and I can't blame someone who can't actually help.
Thankfully, these surveys usually let you rate different aspects of help separately. I tend to give all 10s to everything employee-related and 1s to everything unrelated to employee, so they (hopefully) don't get their bonus cut but the company still gets the message.

Nah, being promised two million in funding, hiring and getting a space (and equipment) with that in mind, then having that two million disappear. We moved from one side of the airport to the other.

Status: If you've been using Nn1 in earlier equations then for the love of god use multiplication symbols (or spaces) when writing:
At normal magnifications I couldn't tell it wasn't subscript
This screwed up numbers waaaay down the chain of equations, I've been fighting this thing for days.
Edit: It was only when I realised
n3
couldn't be independent ofN
that the penny dropped.

@Cursorkeys Multi-character subscripts (where they're not indices) are annoying. I can do Xij where
i

are independent indexes. Doing Xn2 wheren2

@stillwater said in The Official Status Thread:

No, I actually mean the powered armor which provides a straight up damage absorption shield through, if I remember correctly, hard light or similar.
This one works differently (obviously) from the other armor pieces - it doesn't reduce a percentage of damage types, it absorbs all damage up until its breaking point after which it'll take a while to recharge. Both the dead time until it begins recharging and the recharging time are rather short which makes this armor so overpowered.

I'd be more worried about "I don't have anything better to be doing" part.

You're welcome.

@Rhywden I was absolutely unaware of this.
My final boss involved me having nothing except a bunch of precision arrows and fire arrows. I did not do anything throughout the game to get other ammo and/or weapon types and just wanted to get to the end as soon as possible.
This resulted in me basically doing a run run duck run run duck coupled with a hit the exposed parts of the machine when it stops for a few seconds. Excruciating and lasted for an hour or so. Painful.
I did it the second time around better equipped. Freeze bombs and whatnot. I'm definitely gonna be checking out the armor you're talking about. It should come handy in other situations too. There are few machines that are major PITA to bring down without taking too much damage.
-
@stillwater You get the armor from this level 25(?) side quest where you have to find a bunch of power cells to open the vault. You'll find those power cells during the main story line (usually when you delve into the ruins) but they're all somewhat off the track. You can very easily miss one, two or all of them.
Also, you can find the last one in the last big ruin delving mission before the final boss - so you'll get that armor pretty late.But it'll make a New Game+ a cakewalk.

Happy New Year to you.Yep, AEDT is the one true New Year's timezone.
-
@Tsaukpaetra I suppose I could just keep counting down for every hour or half hour for the rest of the day, but it just wouldn't feel the same.
Although I think last year, when I was using IRC quite regularly, I did give a quick announcement for every timezone that passed.
