[whats-in-a-sentence]

Aside from learning these technical skills, he also recommends a range of infiltration and forgery techniques to get around security boundaries that cannot be solved with hacks alone:

Get jobs fill roles that you might find useful to compromise people working within the future. This means sysadmin stuff, helpdesk stuff, etc. Also, you can usually get into everything at a company just by being hired as a sysad. If you can talk your way into a systems role repeatedly, you don't need zero-days,²⁵ you can get given the keys to everything.

Getting a job as a skiptracer²⁶ in the collections industry will give you access to datasets that will turbocharge your ability to dox individuals.

Become a more competent programmer by submitting git pull²⁷ requests for fixes on outstanding bugs and desired features on well used open source products. Get a dev job.

Try to talk your way into restricted areas, and call up random support lines and talk then into giving you sensitive customer information. This is a hugely useful skill.

Learn to pick locks and break into buildings that you have permission to be in (riskless if you get caught but actually lets you field test barging through locked doors and evading security).

Practice credential forgery very often, just takes photoshop and a print shop.

Read poetry, particularly 19th century stuff and really old epics, eddur, and sagas. Sounds weird but it gives you hide insight into manipulating people with language.

For the same reasons, getting copyediting positions in advertising where multivariate testing is done is also a useful thing. Same with learning hypnosis, cold call sales, all sorts of things.

25. A 0-day is a form of cyberattack that exploits a vulnerable spot in software that is unknown or unaddressed by the software vendors.

26. A skiptracer is a person whose main job is is to geolocate and track down individuals.

27. A git pull is a command used to download and change content from a remote repository.

Thinking about the design of The Imperial City from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion again. I love Oblivion but it's hands-down my least favourite design of any open world RPG because a lot of its layout defies a lot of what might ordinarily be logical city layout choices when building a city.

Disclaimer: This is mostly me being petty about level design that I recognize does not matter. I realize most of this is likely just due to development constraints and player-centric design choices, and can just as easily be written off. But dammit I'm a level designer who has worked on open world games and in the projects I worked on this is all stuff that would have been flagged so I'm gunna be petty anyway!

So let's talk about the paths into the city.

Well....it's the capital of all of Tamriel, it's on an island, and there's just one road leading in and out of it. That road leads over a bridge. Probably the easiest city to siege ever, just capture the bridge and you win. Ezpz.

But also the ROAD itself!!! My god!!!

Literally can you imagine all land-bound trade and transport having to navigate down this single 75 degree road to get in and out of the largest city (and capital!) of all of Tamriel. Horses, creatures notoriously good at navigating treacherous vertical inclines.

Madness!!!!!!

The harbour is also incredibly small for a capital. You'd think with one ski-hill road leading to the city they'd use the harbour more, but this thing fits two (2) ships max, and there's almost no room to navigate it them in there.

The logical layout would dictate that all goods in the city are stored in the harbour and transported into the city for sale, or brought to market from out of city. Well...

Both of those paths necessitate going to the exact opposite corner of the city in order to deliver the goods to where the trade district is! The absolute furthest possible route!

What's more is that these routes lead through multiple flights of stairs! Good luck driving that wagon full of produce to its destination!

Meanwhile if you trace a path leading from the the Harbour to the ocean you'll discover that the only river that leads to the ocean is shallow enough for a person to walk over, meaning sea liners can't pass through it.

So uh yeah... it's logistically impossible to sail a boat from the Imperial City (the capital of Tamriel) to the ocean around Tamriel and vice-versa, making the fact that it has a harbour at all makes little sense. No wonder there's only ever two ships docked there!

Schneider is SICILIAN, not Italian. YOU ARE WRITING HER WRONG.

Yes, this post is directed towards YOU, fan fiction authors!! And— yes, I will admit, it sounds a little confusing, but I’ll elaborate.

Schneider is an immigrant from Sicily, which, in all due respects to everybody who writes her speaking standard Italian, HAS ITS OWN LANGUAGE!! (Or dialect..? Aye aye aye, I am not awake enough to perpetuate one side or another of a centuries-old argument.)

For more information, you can go to a website somewhere on the interwebs (like this one!: https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/sicilian-and-italian-whats-the-difference/) or simply take a look at Schneider’s wiki page!

So, sí, Reverse 1999 officially makes the distinguishment here: her mother tongue is Sicilian!

The next time you pick up your keyboard (or.. phone, if that’s your thing?) to write a fic, stay away from the Italian google translate screen— as tempting as it may be!— and go to a website like Glosbe instead to use the Sicilian translator there; given you’re trying to write a vulnerable moment where she expresses herself in the first language she’s ever learned to.

I apologize if anything in this post is overly fired-up or aggressive. My family (particularly my grandfather) have been looked at like they were insane when they spoke Neapolitan in the middle of Rome, so the distinguishment between Italian and its sister languages is very important to me— as well as other Italian fans of the game, I’m sure.

That’s all for this post! Happy writing :3

#reverse 1999 #r1999 #re1999 #schneider #yelena greco #schneider greco #kisses her gently. go cuss a fucker out in sicilian my dear #yes her ult line is in Italian. yes she uses swear words from Italian. no you should not only have her speak Italian in your fic #just because reverse 1999 devs only had her speak in Italian (..for some reason :c) it doesn’t mean YOU should!! #sicily #auauaughh #I’d like to think they intended to have her speak Sicilian but fucked up #Or maybe she just uses it to communicate w mafia members? #Most Sicilian people do use Italian at their jobs lmao #Crime is #Technically a job #Remember the phrase ‘Sicilian first (comma here) Italian second’ #Hhhhhh

have you guys ever thought about how satan's personality is actually the combo of his 6 other brothers and somehow he's still unique in his own way and that somehow creates his charisma. just as i start making satan's moodboard and i start to realize man i love him so much it's hard to breathe.

i mean, he's like the most hard-working demon in the family, lucifer works because he has his responsibility and because he forces himself the perfect figure for the whole devildom and also because of diavolo the moment he realize no one watching him he immediately drop the whole responsible act; but satan works and studies and reads just because he loves doing things and learning. he never wastes a single opportunity to learn new thing. he loves art and beautiful things, just like asmo but at the same time, he doesn't care about his look, just like beel, and they both make asmo so mad because they seems like they can't realize how attractive they are. he loves to play pranks on lucifer with belphie but somehow he is also willing to take care for his brothers when they're wasted and constantly checked on lucifer when he lost his memory. he loves cooking for his family and even when his brothers make riddiculous request he still tries to satisfy them. he's maybe the most boring guy you've ever met, he's a nerd, he starts to talk like levi when he visits destinations from his favourite shows, he looks serious in his stundent id, and he's so intellectual and normal and you may or may not have already seen someone like him in your life. he's so normal, he has nothing stand out but his love for cat. his laptop is covered in cat stickers and he has a cat wallpaper on his devices. he's so normal. he acts normal unless when he's angry. he's decent. he's also popular. but at the same time, don't you guys find him adventurous? he loves trying new things, he meets people here and there and makes friend here and there. you will see him at some super fancy restaurant and you also see him on the bleachers of some sports game. he even manages to take his whole family to a film festival because of his connections. he learns new things everyday and he tries to experience as much as he can. he loves nature, he loves camping, he loves animal to the point he flooded the whole house with cats. he knows all the things about human world and stuffs but he's not allow to go there. i mean, satan character is just the combination of many factors and he's so normal but so adventurous and caring and i can picture him having a super peacful life until you figure out he used to go to war and maybe fighted with the dragons and owns a rich comany stuff like that.

he's just doing whatever he likes without caring about people's opinion and make him...like gosh...i love him i love him i love him i love him i love him.

p.s: one of my theory is that satan wasn't born from wrath (yes i know the devs confirmed that but wasn't lucifer so angry to the point he started a war and stripped out his wings because he loves his brothers and sisters so much he didn't want to see them hurt?) but actually he was born from the love lucifer has for his family so that's why you can see satan shares similarities with all of his brothers.

#obey me #obey me satan #satan is also a perfectionist #just like lucifer #obey me theories #obey me headcanon #i do love him so much #also i think satan character is so complicated but the the devs of obey me can't even grasp it #and that lead to there's always something missing about his story #that what i feel #im so happy that nightbringer did a better job in developing satan's characteristic and story #just a little bit better #so i want to write for satan as much as i can #i love my caring delicate gentle having anger issue daddy issue demon so much #obey me nightbringer #obey me swd #satan obey me

applying for software developer jobs is so hellish because all the listings online are either defense contractors who offer high salaries with lots of benefits, on the job training, and flexible hours with remote work opportunities or some startup that pays way under market rate and demands you commute for an hour to their shitty office 5 days a week at 8 am sharp. and then every job that actually sounds tolerable wants you to have 5+ years experience in some technology you've never heard of. truly the stuff of nightmares

#I'm so sick of seeing job listings for northrop grumman 😭 #I will not fucking compromise my morals for a paycheck I would rather be homeless #sigh....... my dreams of being a game dev seem further and further away every year #kvetching

Kingdom Hearts 2 - Agrabah

#kingdom hearts 2 #kh2 #agrabah #scenery #my gif #i like how the color palettes in each row match up. that was unintentional but worked out nicely #i think the devs always do a really good job of adapting locations from the movies into the games but #what is up with how they designed the interior of the cave of wonders #it's a big room with a bunch of rectangle platforms and more rectangles in the sky that spin and defy gravity #not sure what the thought process there was #the other rooms are also rather strange. the treasure room is fine though #oh well still a really nice looking world

Oh yeah today marks two months since I had my last drink of alcohol 👏👏

I figure I’ll wait until til my birthday next month/move into my place to celebrate. But it’s been surprisingly easy

#Dev’s decrees #proud of myself #ok to interact #even since I got a car and a job and have all the means to drink I haven’t had the desire to #and reading about the effects alcohol has when mixed with my meds…yea I’m good #also would like to not keep losing jobs bc of my drinking

[yourlocalgrass]

I just realised I know the birthday Nightmare comes up on the exact day as the said character’s birthday but doesn’t the revival come almost like 5 days before their Birthday??

There hasn’t been any birthday Pop Quiz revival for Levi yet… it should have been here by now. I mean we can still wait until the last day and if it pops up or they’ve removed birthday revival events then… that’s the last of OM ever left that they’ve just removed.

Infact I’ve just realised the recent Birthday Pop Quizz revivals end 2 days before the character’s Birthday

-Simeon’s Birthday is on February 10th

-The twins Birthday is on March 11th

So if we’re talking about Levi’s birthday revival here, it should have ended by now. And well, there you have it, there’s nothing yet. I mean just gotta wait and see…

#um yeah they’re doing a good job in taking hope away #just a joke right?? #well I’m just waiting one or two more days before I go ballistic and curse at the devs #I can have patience… #obey me #obey me swd #obey me shall we date #obey me birthday #obey me event #obey me events #obey me leviathan #yeah no joke you better bring that revival up #imagine if they just forgot because they’re oh so exited about the HDD on Nightbringer as an excuse #I’m trying to keep my cool…

COME BACKKKKKKK

hi ✨

Main reason I went missing: CAPITALISM.

aka "I work, and then I am too tired to do stuff". And sadly, vp is the stuff which takes for me quite a lot of time.

I still draw some things, and tweak photos in lightroom, because I can do all that on my phone (pretty much all the hobbies I'm left with at the moment are still here only because I can do them on my phone 😔)

Going to my laptop, making poses in blender, exporting, opening cyberpunk, putting all the shit together and taking about 30-50 shots, then picking 3-5 favs and editing all that... that's a lot(

I'm not sure when I'll get back to vp and cp2077 in general (but I'm still around every now and then if you need me... mostly for Hanako's hashtag tho)

So... be back when I'm back, I guess :(

As a little love boop, here, have some special stuff from stash I didn't post eventually for some reason:

My sleepy morning babies

Hanako, trying to keep together her shitshow of inheritance, and Vayne, just up and ready to try and keep together her... life, ig?

cya 🖤

#my stuff #my stuff: misc #otp: of thorns and bellflowers #oc: vayne #hanako arasaka #fem v #cyberpunk v #cyberpunk 2077 #cp2077 #wuv you #I'll be back at some point #I guess when I'm not a junior dev and my job is not a constant soul-draining “what in the actual fuck am I supposed to do” #fem v x hanako arasaka #v x hanako arasaka

i think the funniest skz conspiracies ive run across on twitter are

2. everyone in skz, bar Hyunjin and Seungmin, are under 5 foot 5 and lying that they are taller

Bang Chan is faking being australian

#the first one is just funny but the second one is crazy #like honestly props to fake australian bang chan he does amazing accent work #and so do all his family. even his dog is faking being australian #like baby you cannot fake that accent i promise the only person who has come close #is dev patel in lion. he did a fuckin great job. props to dev patel best fake aus accent award for sure. #and he stopped a knife attack in adelaide. what a guy. #dev patel 💗 #we got off topic but yeah those are my 2 top ones

[hallowxiu]

i love obey me, but i'm going to be very honest, i do find it extremely annoying that they lock leveling up cards behind joker cards, that are kinda hard to get. like... bffr

#i love this game but sometimes the devs really test my patience lol #like okay lets do the math #its 500 ravens for a joker #and i need 5 to unlock the cap level #do you expect me to shell out 2500 raven for unlock the cap level for ONE card #just to get an extra ten levels? #like okay yeah that's an obvious money grab lol #but for the cards??? like that's so vital to progressing in the game #obey me #obey me nightbringer #nightbringer #obey me joker #obey me shall we date #shall we date #also i know the VIP job drops SSR jokers sometimes which is great i like that #but its only for the SSR #so

[lex-icon]

i’m so glad they kept the ‘innocently silly’ part of Dias personality in nightbringer.

like baby what are you doing 😭😭

#i like how you can see he’s more immature in nightbringer #he’s so silly #nightbringer #i think the devs did a really good job with the characterization in NB #obey me nightbringer #diavolo #obey me #obey me diavolo #lucifer is so tired LMAO #god i love him #obey me luficer #obey me barbatos #obey me shall we date

[autism-corner]
