No amount of in-house testing is going to catch everything that can be experienced on a nearly-infinite amount of hardware/software configurations that are tested once a large userbase gets a hold of a product.

Tolon is an absolute shining gem of food in Fort Wayne and I’m thoroughly amused seeing it mentioned here. I’ve never had the burger but the duck fat frites are always great.
Classic over explaining to cover up a lie.
I never send anything other than “I’ll be out of the office today” for every PTO notice.
If the mods want to switch their name to something else, do it, but don’t hold the current community hostage. Go make a new community and hand this one over to someone who wants it.
Part of the joke is the fact that it’s so over-the-top. All the suggestions I’ve seen for possible replacements have been terrible.
Ignore the hyper-optimized way to do everything. Do things in a way that make sense to you; learn from your mistakes and discover new training methods naturally.
Don’t use quest guides or quest helpers, unless you’re absolutely stuck (which you will be at some point as sometimes the game is not very intuitive). Read quest dialogs and interact with NPCs, as there is some genuinely hilarious dialog and well-written stories in the game.
Wear gear that looks cool. I’m still of the opinion that the dragon chainbody is one of the coolest items in the game.
Don’t buy gold or take handouts from people. Players are often tripping over themselves to give gear and GP to new players but this absolutely ruins the early-game grind. Upgrading from a full steel set to full black is, in the grand scheme, a quick and tiny upgrade. But doing it yourself makes it rewarding and worthwhile. This goes double for a player who has never touched the game before.
Overall, just take time to explore the world and take it all in. The amount of content in the game is absolutely staggering, and it’s easy to miss a lot of it if you are following the optimal quest guide and doing nothing but tick-manipulation training methods.
For many of us, we’ve played this game since we were kids so the magic has sort of worn off and nothing is as satisfying as seeing numbers go up as quickly as possible. But until you get to that point, there’s a ton of cool things to discover.
On a different note, if/once you really get into the grind, set realistic goals for yourself. Personally, it’s hard for me to sit down with no plan in mind and just grind away. If I have an idea in my head that I want to get X amount of experience by Y date, it makes it not only possible, but more enjoyable as well.
This is not upsetting in the slightest, although I wish they would also get rid of Mark Jackson. Mike Breen is great, but watching any playoff game with the whole trio was not enjoyable. ESPN needs to get some real talent to help Mike out.
Yeah, embedded systems for military applications is exactly the same as consumer software. You’re right.
