Yes, the numbers currently show an uptick, maybe a new wave as a result of people not properly masking because they think they're safe. Masking is part of the culture for the foreseeable future.

Maybe it's different in further entires, but trails in the sky 1 and cold steel 1 don't offer the perspective I'm looking for, at least early on. I didn't finish either of those either. It's weird, i enjoy that series but it's almost like theres too much good supplemental information. I feel like I need to talk to every NPC at every part of the game and it ends up killing the pace. The combat in trails 1 is also too damn slow to where it feels really tedious in fights that aren't difficult.
You have a good beat on how the series works.
  1. Sky FC is in fact slow. I have two friends going through FC right now and one going through SC (person playing SC played through all of Cold Steel first). The one of the FC players had a really rough time through the first few chapters and then suddenly was on Chapter 5. The game has a very slow start and FC/SC have a different kind of difficulty curve that the other games don't necessarily have.
  2. When I started the series (I started with FC) I did not talk to every single NPC between story segments. By the time I got to Cold Steel 3 I was talking to every single NPC between story segments. I'm 103 hours into CS4 (I won't be able to finish it for a while due to the new Path of Exile league). The game series is specifically made that you can talk to everyone if you want without much punishment if you don't, but by the time CS4 rolls around (I mean you're like 500+ hours in at this point, CS2/CS3/CS4 are 100+ hour games...) you're probably going to want to anyways.
  3. The pacing issues are still there. I frequently stop during transitions between "story segments" and "exploration segments" to keep the pacing. "exploration segments" are my "chores", but there are some NPCs (e.g. Anton who is in almost every game in the series) which are fun to keep tabs on. I tend to skip dialog for NPCs I don't really care much about.
  4. CS includes the Bond system which is like Social Links in Persona to add even more to this fire (you even get some unique accessories at the end of CS4). Really helps to stick with characters here you actually like. Don't feel obligated to save scum. Then again, my "main girl" in all of these games was Towa, which apparently is one of the least popular characters based on achievement stats.
tldr: The series really just is not for everyone.

No, because I stay lightyears away from anything related to webdev. Only web developers I have worked with have a CS background.

Yeah I don't get why companies can't just give you questions about coding instead of some algorithm exercise. I would think that it would be pretty easy to figure out if someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Coding tests might eliminate some great people
I perform very poorly with algorithm heavy questions as they usually require already knowing the answer.
Yet I am designing a highly scalable orchestration solution right now. It can't just be a black and white interview like that.

IronBornCorps posted...
I find a lot of boot camps are inconstant, and it's really important to those interested in them to find a reputable one, that also doesn't have super predatory payment options. Despite what the sector says about needing degrees, it is significantly harder to find a job without one, and bootcamps give you certs, not degrees. You are screwed if the place you apply for hasn't heard of your camp.
Boot camps only teach what is needed to get a job in the fields they try and prepare you for. Think of it like a technical school. They don't teach you a basis in Computer Science that would make you successful in every area of the industry. Think of them as pump and dumps. It's a lot harder to hire these types of people because they carry substantial risk, probably more risk than fresh grads with 0 experience.

(Sorry I am very busy with work today, literally started writing this 30 minutes ago and finished it right now. I want to address more but I can't right now).

For the small period of time I worked with Dexcom for a collaboration (it was around the time the G5 was being developed so this was a long time ago) they had a good head on their shoulders. Never at any point during the 2 years I worked at Insulet did I feel they had any remote idea what they were doing, and they'd actually fire people that I felt did.

Just to put into perspective, I was was one of the main contributors to the Dash Pod (The PDM was handled by a separate team of mainly H1Bs... talk about quality engineering). I have no idea how the product has changed since then, but I will never forgive any of their management for treating me like actual trash. R&D is a cost center in that environment and I really doubt that has changed.

Spoilers maybe?
I have been playing JRPGs for the past 25 years, and I can count on my hand the JRPGs I have spent over 100 hours on, however, I to this game, I don't think I have ever played a JRPG with a "100 hour story".

Trails of Cold Steel is now that game. No other game I have ever played has had a single player experience, not counting post game or NG+ content that has lasted longer. The Trails series is notable for having a very long narrative that prevents people from getting into it, but holy shit, I am near the climax of the game, and I don't want it to end, but I'm getting the 100% completion achievements one by one, and finally I'm right in front of the point of no return.

For years, I've had Trails in the Sky SC in my top 5 games, but I think finally, Cold Steel 4 has usurped that right. The second longest Trails game for me was Cold Steel 3 at 99 hours played.

I do not know why we don't see more games like this.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
