    Game is easily worth $28. End game is kinda boring, though they greatly improved it in the latest patch and seemingly are committed to continuing to do so.

    Investing General Discussion

    Comparing the central bank rates of countries around the world who's populations, corporations and governments treat and leverage debt vastly differently than the US does seems... fairly disingenuous.

    Income tax vs loan interest rates is not an apples to apples comparison.

    Death and... Taxes.

    Keep in mind that the CAGR, or compound annual growth rate of the S&P500 is historically over 10% but that's year over year. Personal loans will be compounded monthly. Not really an apples to apples comparison. Also, the type of person that needs a personal loan (regardless of where they get...

    This is, not true. When I bought my house I had a huge, unexpected, catastrophic retaining wall failure next to my house that pushed mud and water throughout my basement. I couldn't afford to just pay for the new retaining wall + water remediation so I took out a 401k loan. It had a 60 month...

    The new pinnacle bosses don't have uber versions I don't think and they are all fairly easy.

    Well you can do that with the ring and fire damage as well, you wear The Admiral and your merc wears the Doryanis. Pen goes past the -resistance cap still right?

    Path of Exile

    The new ring doesn't have the downside of Doryani's and doesn't require mirrored rings with -res but "hopefully" other good stats. As a Scion it is laughably easy to hit the pen cap with the ring with some minor Aura and Flask investment. Purity of Elements + Purity of Fire + Bismuth + Ruby. And...

    With the rate our civilization and technology has advanced, rapidly increasing with each generation, it's actually arrogant, and stupid in and of itself, to pretend humans are getting dumber.

    The mercs are "fucked". Some are fine, do no damage when you are appropriately geared and generally behave like any other semi juiced rare. Others are fucking T17 bosses even in white maps. I'm not sure how to fix it but I have an 8 Endurance charge, 40k evasion, 4500hp, res capped with 14%...

    It was a bit confusing that you quoted Cad about 2 GLP-1 drugs that have nothing to do with the 2 drugs Regeneron announced that restrict those hormones.

    Path of Exile

    Not really apples to apples since you only need 1 singular item to scale all your increased damage with the Trarthus version and then can do whatever else you want with the tree/gear. You can make this version 1 shot bosses, kinda hard to do that with Heavy Strike au natural. Any attack skill...

    Classic "Just tell them it was DDoS" response to a shitty launch. It's weird how DDoS attacks plague the gaming industry yet don't seem to trouble almost any other industry at all, ever. When some people crash every 5 minutes and others can play with no issues at all for hours on the same...

    I'll go out on a limb and say the difference in gun control laws between the two countries might have something to do with that. And stereotypes. Thanks country music!

    I've lost 70% of my maps to crashes/rollbacks. The "perfect" kind of rollback... you know... where you open a map, get about halfway through, then crash and when you come back you have none of the loot you picked up in the map, the portals are gone AND the map you opened is also gone. I...

    They arent the same ingredients, though I don't blame you for thinking they are since it's really rare to find a good, authentic lasagna, prepared correctly with a bechamel.

    I think its well acted and the story is fine. Its a bit long winded and confusing at times though. Something about the way they introduce characters and move back and forth between sub plots.
