• I live in Salesforce, so Apex/VF (proprietary lang's) which ends up translating mainly to Java(ish) and HTML/CSS/Jscript.

    When I break out of that, tends to be Node.js more often than not, mainly because I know JS fairly well, so the transition, once I figured out Express, was fairly smooth.

    I'm more jack of all trades than anything though. Except ruby...for some reason I just couldn't wrap my brain around it fast enough to keep from giving it up.

  • Commies? Can't imagine anything would go wrong with that. /s

  • Yeah, it seems like the idea is mass-diversification to assume you'll get some defaults and roll with it. I read further into it, and it seems that recently some hedge funds have started investing en masse, making it hard to find certain loan classes and such. I'm using LendingRobot, which automates the finding/reinvesting in loans, and so far it's not terrible. That said, while I've got some gains, I've already got a few loans that are marked as late, and if they all default, I'm gonna be back at zero.

    Kiva's an interesting program though. If they had even tiny returns (hell, savings accts are like sub 1% interest) I'd probably dump tons into them - as it is I'll wait till I get some more money and probably keep a chunk wrapped up in their loans to help folk out. Thanks for the tip there.

  • Thanks for the detailed reply - I was kinda thinking of it as a TF2 sort of game, and this solidifies it. Sounds good, but not likely a fit for what we're looking for at the moment. Might end up getting it down the line to play with other friends online though, used to CoD/Battlefield with folk, and this could work out.

  • Thankfully most of my coding projects are work oriented. Today I'm hacking at the Amazon Echo to make it call some API endpoints on our side. Trying to slowly work through their utterance model and everything isn't great, but it creates a neat show when it's wired together. All node based stuff if you want to try poking with it, it's fairly fun.

  • I'm eager to hear more perspectives like this. The videos and such Blizzard put out for Overwatch are nuts - my wife is just now getting into FPS's and this would be legit for her. She just isn't a fan of the CoD life. I can pretty much live with whatever, but this seems somewhat shallow compared to like MMOs, etc.

    Can anyone talk to the deeper elements of progression and the game and how it feels? Is it just round after round of the same, or is there something more? I've read a few reviews so I haven't pulled the trigger, but these sorts of elements make me want to review it again.

  • We're both farrr too competitive to play competitive games together, so co-op is the way to go for us.

    My wife and I have gotten a lot of mileage out of Legendary Encounters - Alien. Basically a deck building game where you can play through the four alien films (no prometheus/avp). Entirely co-op, though you can add elements of competitive if you want, 2-5 players, but the more players the rougher the go.

    Other good co-op ones we've enjoyed are forbidden island and pandemic, Arkham and Eldritch Horror

  • Looks like there was an update from the screenwriter saying this is all BS. Good to hear, and hopeful that's the truth. 40% reshoot = different movie entirely.

    That said, the bluray features would be awesome.
