Semi interested in having interacted with IAM folks a lot during my tenure as a major incident manager. So I'm not sure, have been doing some research around it. I'm open to picking up programming, but I dread deep low-level networking (TCP/IP, etc.).
Any advice to this old head
Pretty much the title. I would be lying if I said I'm not desparate here. Just looking for some hope lol. 34 M practically no experience. Don't even know what it feels to hold a hand. Kundali says love marriage. But yeah life sucks right now.

A lot of people naturally want to talk about Dune and Avatar thanks to Namit, but another interesting reference point is Man of Steel. DNEG worked on that film as well. The film released back in 2013, many of its large-scale action sequences still feel remarkably convincing. The teaser that came out in 2012 looked visually cohesive and polished.
This is not meant as a direct budget comparison. Man of Steel reportedly had a very large budget for its time, and the economics of filmmaking have changed considerably since then. The point I am trying to make is that visual effects alone do not determine how convincing a film feels. Direction, shot design, lighting, editing and the overall creative vision of the director matter just as much.
I did not think the Ramayana trailer was bad. However, I felt the trailer’s editing did the film a total disservice. Some shots looked polished, while others appeared unfinished or inconsistent in lightning or color grading. Since the film is only a few months away, including those shots in the first major trailer naturally invites unnecessary debate about the quality of the VFX.
The trailer could perhaps have focused more on Rama’s internal conflict between duty, love and sacrifice, alongside Ravana’s rise. A slightly non-linear structure, underpinned by strong dialogue and atmosphere, might have created more intrigue without revealing so much of the story.
Instead, the trailer we get is the entire plot of the 1st part in chronological order and relies heavily on large CGI battle moments. As a result, much of the discussion has shifted towards whether individual shots look finished rather than towards the characters, emotions and themes.
I just feel the material could have been presented more effectively.

Will get downvotes but almost every character has multiple straps on their costumes that are absolutely unnecessary imho. Maybe it's just me. I find it hideous to say the least.
Pretty much the title. What are the different types of Business Analyst roles, and how do they differ like for example the Technical BA, Product BA, Domain BA, Functional Consultant
I have around 10 years of IT experience mostly in IT Ops and I’m trying to understand whether Business Analyst roles are actually domain-specific, or whether some BA tracks are portable across industries.
Looking to transition myself into BA so trying to understand where would I best fit in
I'm trying to go full zero kill(except the kill challenge) ghost run on Vercos Vendetta on authentic and it's so damn difficult. First getting past the soldiers on the bridge is damn impossible because of that machine gun located on the workbench house. Even if you distract him from a bottle he comes back just in time. So you have to take the other route of climbing down where you need to create multiple distractions.
Not to mention the snipers, spotters and 2 tanks guarding. A lot of areas within the map can't be traversed either.
In SE5 it was liberation which felt notoriously difficult to go full ghost. In SER for me this is the map
I am an ITSM professional with 10 yoe. MIM, Problem, Change, Request, Availability, CMDB, SLM, Data Analytics is my bnb. Most of my day in day out is talking to engineering and infrastructure teams. I have an AZ900. I am planning to get a cert for a bit more cloud architecture understanding. This is not to switch careers but more to stay ahead in my stream.
I am confused between the Az104-305 and AWS SAA cert.
ITSM seems more heavy in captive markets and regulated industries and they generally go heavy on Azure, so leaning a bit towards the same but I don't know.
Note that I can pick up the knowledge without the cert, issue is that in a certification driven hiring, this will definitely help me stand out. That's the reason for going for a certification.
Any advice would be helpful.

So I'm planning to learn a secondary and Shaheen's simple and effective small tekken based game always attracts me. I'm a pad player and slide was the only thing that was preventing me to pick him. Please don't bash me, I can't do slide with him on pad even if my life depended on it. I've tried. And it's not just the slide, it's the twitchy slide crouch mixup as well. So other day I was seeing some god 6 gameplay, as well as some recent AK, XCC gameplay aswell and I can literally count on my fingers the amount of times they used slide if at all. What happened. Is this move no longer his top move or what ?
Reduce whiff recovery across the cast. Too many moves recover absurdly fast on whiff.
Tone down move ranges, including Heat Burst. Phantom hitboxes are getting ridiculous.
Might be controversial but Rewall splat should not be in the game.
Heavy nerfs to stance-based plus frames and looping pressure.
SATs should consume Heat. Make players choose between combo optimization and Heat utility.
Heat Engagers should be optional, just like Heat Dash.
Either bring back the 180 HP bar or slightly buff poke damage.
Reduce tracking on non-homing moves.
Remove floor blasts and wall blasts. Walls, floor breaks, and balcony breaks are enough.
Remove the cinematic pause from Heat Burst, Heat Engagers, and Heat Smash. Keep the flow uninterrupted.
Heat Smash should stop mid animation if the first hit whiffs.
Improve move list filters in game like plus-on-block moves, duckable strings, punishable moves, running moves, etc. I know we have external websites that does it already but still.
Let us save practice mode drills and recordings.
Make DLC characters temporarily available in Practice Mode before purchase.
Give us Online Practice Mode already.
Buff backdash and also buff the speed of normal backdash even further. Controversial take but further speeding up the normal backdash does bring down the skill ceiling of a kbd from an execution pov but skill of decision making still remains. It's like we give you the tools but what you do with it like space and whiff control, ability to create distance is still a decesion the player needs to make.
Let us use individual clothing pieces from full costume sets.
Better netcode, better anti-cheat, and more customization slots.

Have a decade of work experience in ITSM. Using ServiceNow as a platform. Planning to get into analytics engineering. Looking for some guidance from folks who are into similar domain.
A Bit of background of me, I have 10 years of experience in ITIL/SIAM/ITSM consulting. Most of my work has been across banking and captive environments, using ServiceNow primarily as the ITSM suite of choice.
Over the next few years, I’m considering moving more toward Product Management, Pre-Sales, or Solution Advisory type roles. At the same time, one thing keeps looping in my head, "You should know scripting." I’ve heard it from managers, architects, consultants, random LinkedIn posts basically everywhere.
Now just to be clear, I have zero resistance to learning JavaScript. In fact, I want to learn it because I feel it gives much more control over the platform and makes you more self-sufficient. My issue is more with how people suggest learning it.
The advice I constantly hear is: "Just watch a few random ServiceNow JavaScript playlists," or "Just jump into platform scripting and you'll pick it up." I’ve genuinely tried that approach and it completely breaks my brain.
I suspect I’m wired differently (possibly ADHD tendencies). My brain hates fragmented learning. I can’t vibe-code or randomly jump into scripts and absorb concepts. I've tried and i simply can't. I’m the opposite. I’d rather go buy 2 to 3 JavaScript books, start with ES5 fundamentals, understand programming basics and web concepts for a few months, and only then touch ServiceNow scripting. Structured learning somehow works much better for me.
Why is there 3 admin levels in the career journeys. It's confusing as hell for me.
So I've been learning photography for a while, have the basics down, and already know I want to pursue wildlife seriously long-term, as a serious hobbyist
My focus is wildlife in Indian conditions birds, big cats, predators, safaris, forests, deserts, large mammals with weather resistance, durability, and longevity being important.
I’d also like flexibility for social media content, large prints/posters, and maybe magazine submissions later. I don't mind spending more upfront if it helps avoid upgrade hell.
I'd rather buy once and grow into a system over 8 to 10 years. For people actively shooting wildlife: what’s the real enthusiast sweet spot budget before diminishing returns hit, Sony vs Nikon vs Canon for long-term ecosystem investment, and if you had to build one serious hobbyist wildlife setup today, what body + lens combo would you choose?
My budget is upto 10l
What's the likelihood that this guy is burnt out and should take a break
Career timeline:
Company 1: 6 years (stayed this long due to long term onsite and it almost happened but Covid is Not today)
Zero-day gap between next job
Company 2: 2 years
2-week break
Company 3: 1.6 years
Role changed internally into something different from JD, almost no mentor/training/support.
2 week break
Company 4: 1.1 years to present
Random consulting assignments, handling multiple customers at once limited support again.
Started working in 2015 and basically haven't had a proper break since. No major holidays. Tiny gaps between jobs. Workaholic tendencies.
Outside work:
Multiple health issues over the years minor recovered but took a toll mentally as despite being into sports, fitness and being disciplined with my diet still suffered (acute pancreatitis i don't drink, sciatica, urticaria, Bell's palsy (i was literally managing p1 war rooms while my half face was paralysed ), plantar fasciitis from 2015 to 2025. All recovered though.
Single since birth, what being 5'4 does to his confidence in his teens lmao. Although I know not experiencing anything remotely romantic in 34 years is not that big of a deal as other people have it worse.
Feeling mentally exhausted and emotionally flat
Constant ADHD/depressive symptom type feeling (not self-diagnosing, just describing)
Feels like work quietly became my entire personality somewhere along the way
I'm considering taking 5–6 months off with an actual plan:,Health reset, Exercise/sleep routine, Upskilling/certifications
I have decent savings to last me an year in tier 1 along with by god's grace decent family safety net and support. No emis, debt or liability as of now.
Figure out life outside PowerPoints and incident calls
But then every corner of the internet screams:
"AI is coming."
"Market is bad."
"Never take career gaps."
"Economy is cooked."
