If you work for someone else, you do only for the job, for the money. If you want to have autonomy, you cant work as employee. If you have the money, go for it. If you need noney, just suck it and work.
It depends on how you define autonomy, and the job itself.
Thatbis the point in the end.
I personally dont think anyone in their early/mid twenties has enough experience to precisely define the terms of autonomy or work.
They feel like they will join a company, people gonna throw the red carpet, ask them for enlightment, and they will become the big dog architect/engineer in the company.
When in reality, you gonna join a team maintaining/developing some legacy code or with some technology you dont even know. You gonna have to manager outsource employees, participate in dailies/plannibg, have to justify bosses why the bug appeared, ehy it is taking so long for it to get fixed. You gonna need to spend weeks figuring the make up CICD they implemented, gonna need to work in a workstation you cant do ***, gonna have to work in uninsightful tasks like figuring how to use the right authetication, how to add tests and security to the code you arent even aware.
Many videos in internet arent shy to promote "new" technologies, but end up with the same old java/javascript, while everyone keeps badmouthing those, so you end up like that guy who did all those cool Rust, Golang courses, but need to develop to spring bot or fastapi.
Then you feel like you dont have autonomy, that you are wasting time with those "legacy" technologies.
I do agree and feel the same.
But I had enough bagagge to understand you work for the others so makes no sense starting a job but leaving soon after by the excuse of being frustrated, that it was not the right thing to you

Went Temenos 1/5 and Apollyon 5/5 this week. Previous week was 3/5 in both zones. It's all over place.

Before anime cons and comic cons there were sci-fi cons.
And 40 - 50 years ago having a prize for most naked lady was fairly common. (Unwelcome visions of chubby teenagers in nothing but gauze and cellulite come to mind.)
And yes, there were actual females at sci-fi cons way back then although somewhat outnumbered.
Something hasnt changed though:
The absence of deodorant. It wouldn't mater so much if they bathed.
TLDR: This isn't new.

I thought Spirit Lantern (BLM ammo from that fight) gave magic damage +10% for its enchantment's duration, but I see that bgwiki and ffxiclopedia have it at just +10MAB.

Does anybody know what this "changes to the method for acquiring the Malignance equipment in ★Maiden of the Dusk" in the update notes on the home page is all about?
Am I going to be rewarded finally for not doing more Lilith spam than I've already done? I've done well over 100 runs and I've only got 3/5. I refused to do more because I want to enjoy myself when I'm playing video games.

Men has been cosplaying as female characters in anime conventions since 25-30 years ago, the reverse applies to women cosplaying as male characters. Anyone else feel that stiff breeze?

Go to a comiccon or sci-fi con some day.
Yeah bunch of average looking women with their *** hanging out in "cosplay", trying to get attention and a bunch of thirsty guys that only go there specifically to get some *** from hoes with their *** hanging out.
That's pretty much all those things are. I can't tell... are you saying that's a bad thing?

swapping out a piece or two of my Nyame for a different augment path
Keep in mind Nyame is also BiS for meva and DT. In some fights getting caught in dark matter augment WSD gear will get you one-shotted.
Absolutely. Though, I don't think swapping Nyame Legs or something for Merlinic Shalwar with WSD would drop your defense and magic evasion enough to get "one shotted". Both items are ilvl and though the Oseem gear has far less defensive traits, I don't believe swapping one or two pieces out for augmented WSD would get you particularly killed. Now I wouldn't do 5/5 Oseem gear, just talking about if I decided to change from Nyame legs B to something else for example, take a small hit to WSD and defense in one slot for a few jobs, but an improvement for others. But I also want to wait and see if SE puts out any other gear, so I don't have to resort back to Oseem DM augments for 8-10% WSD stuff, that got old a while ago.

There's also the rare but not quite unicorn hyper.. thirsty actual female that goes to cons to dress up in cosplay that would get you arrested for indecent exposure anywhere else.
No judgment, get that bag.

Back in my days, I used to go to those comicon-like events to watch movie anime and buy manga.

If you want to have autonomy, you cant work as employee. Two words:

"Revisions" usually means "lol we effed up and made it a bit too hard, soz". But who knows. They babbled about changing the nm tabulation period from weekly to monthly before, so that's probably part of what they're doing.

Gotta have a Sets.WS.DT set toggle these days for V25 and Sortie basement bosses. Everything else is meaningless content. Honestly, just WS in DT sets all the time now. Either you're doing acceptable damage anyway because the content's been power crept or you actually need the DT.

I don't think Caith Sith, Alexander and Odin need it as much, granted I wouldn't complain if they released it for them as well. Not that I need them for anything other than glam, but I wouldn't mind a system for Odin just to get those damn weapons. I farmed all the other drops myself (the rdm/nin 1 dmg daggers+enspell method is brainless, just incredibly tedious) and I think I know literally one person who has gotten literally one of the weapons, total across all the people I regularly interact with.
(posters gonna come outta the woodwork bragging about their Geirrothrs now)
I don't get why the drop rate on them seems so incredibly low when Lilith hands out weapons like candy and Cait's hammer seems to be about the same rate as everything else.

Lately Ive been watching dev video reacts.
One of those reacts were about a young developer (in his twenties), that called himself as a "senior dev", and that gave up his job for a foreign oportunity as a junior/trainee.
He said it was a job he was really looking forward, and was receiving 18k Brazil coin, what is a darn good salary for a trainee.
But the react was about one of his videos where he... quitted that long wanted job!
Reason: you can pretty much guess the reason just seeing someone so young: the work wasnt what I was expecting, I want to work something for myself, I want independence, autonomy, etc.
Just your average zoomer thing: create some fantasy about work, build such stupid imaginary expectation, just to be disappointed in the end.
If you work for someone else, you do only for the job, for the money. If you want to have autonomy, you cant work as employee. If you have the money, go for it. If you need noney, just suck it and work.
But this lawt recommendatokn was another video of him. Title: regret.
Ok, nothing new from such stupid generation of workers

As someone going into the coalition grind for the third time, the imprimatur news is great. It's a shame that the mattock/shovel cordon items for completion on Adoulin stuff are so weak and awarded so late, they would have been a great solution for this if it weren't like "okay, cool, now that I've finished all my coalition nonsense forever, I can ignore it even faster thanks to these items."
Lilith... that's the decanters, right? Going to be a tiny chance to drop decanters to give a random bonus drop?

The flips side is that us filth 'casuals' are getting bored of running Lillith endlessly for the slimest of slim chance to get that final piece of gear.
Seriously, I'm able to solo on Easy with THF (not even VE!) reliably, and i'm still about 400+ runs and not finished. This is not fun, and gatekeeping from the community should be also told to gtfo - we don't all want hardcore endless grind. If you want that, go and get ML50 without botting.
Quote: If they are going to allow casual players to cap on this stuff easier they need add things for them to progress onto, like adding augments to htbf gear or adding hq sets etc
