Oh, I doubt it's Commander then, I didn't know it required 4 people. It's just some after school club that meets once in a while. Perhaps one of those prebuilts would be better?

Fuck that. Until the computer industry unfucks itself, continuing to push graphical fidelity is harmful to a game's bottom line. PoE2 is probably going to push past 200GB with 1.0 because of how ridiculous their shaders are. I wouldn't be surprised to see games advertising settings that let...

The regression is that it took 3 years, $80 base game and 2 full $60 expansions to get back to D3.5. A sign that they want to create a good game first is continuing that path on D4. Instead, pay again for a new set of unforced errors. The discussion of value gotten out of a purchase should be...

"weaponized autism" and "parachuting" seem at odds with each other. If the former was true, wouldn't I be much more vociferous and persistent? People are more than welcome to join the PoE thread and discuss the game's flaws. I play a lot of the game but I would say I'm one of the game's...

The cheap burger is being made with rat meat.

My son's been enjoying this in a very casual way and has an upcoming birthday. Would a couple commander decks be a good gift or is something more appropriate? Last I played, commander didn't exist.

Do we get a whole movie on how Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru are turned into crispy bodies by the door? Yes, it's stuck in your head now, you're welcome.

I posted after you but it was more to the thread in general. This thread is not nearly negative enough. Far too many "lolbrainlessarpg" and "itgotnotshittyeventually" replies.

What did D4 improve over D3 and/or its competition? And why do you have any faith D5 will continue that, even if eventually?

Support mercs are definitely more functional because you need far less to find a good one and your dps isn't shit without one, thus you can more reliably defeat that good merc when you find it. I can't even remember, wtf were they bitching about a couple leagues ago? It feels at odds with the...

All done with 40/40. Ended the league Soulwrest Reliquarian. First time I've seen Bonemeld used, so it was an interesting build to theorycraft. Certainly overpowered as I was able to squeeze 80M boss dps out of 15D. The only clunk, and it's serious clunk, is that the phantasms can leave...

How would you do this without significantly cutting into the productivity? Understanding and approving every command it wants to run can take more time than just doing it yourself. I've been having trouble determining when I should and should not use AI. I don't like getting to the end of an...

I'm not sure I agree about the teaching part. Claude will amend an old commit and force push, but will that teach you the specific commands and options you should use to do that? And more importantly, when is the right time to force push?

Is that couple hundred the orgs flat subscription cost? Or was that the cost of that bump?

Tornado with the taming ring is pretty similar to RF. Nothing really matches brain dead moving pack to pack because no movement skills.

WSL1 was indeed gay. For all of Microsoft's WELL deserved faults, WSL2 seems solid. The problem is that we need to support Windows. Pick the least gay: Native Linux and a Windows VM Windows VM on AWS with barely functional persistent storage that lasts a week at most Native Windows and a...

Maybe. The counter narrative is that open models(like qwen) are right behind frontier models. To paraphrase the AI product manager at my company, why else would Anthropic give us more and more tokens? I actually don't know if we're getting more tokens. My subscription reports in percent...

I don't think so, but it would have been preferable. There's an established methodology to fixing and/or dealing with alcoholics. Both. He struggles with fundamental concepts like git, but I would argue git can be a bit challenging. A more basic example would be struggling with the concept...

In a manner of speaking, yes. I put him on a PIP for the second time in the 5+ years that I've managed him. He failed it again despite clearly documented goals and weekly coaching. Only this time, the PIP wasn't toothless because I was promised a replacement(I'm still pessimistic on that)...

This was the last straw with my subordinate. I've posted about him from time to time, but after many tiring years, he's finally gone. I was encouraging him to use AI more. The stupid questions we've rightfully shamed him for, he can ask the AI instead. Now, he won't spend all afternoon...

Divines already over 400c. Seems early for end of league economy.

Sure, but why are mine selling immediately while there are others at the same price listed for weeks?

Put up a batch of Synaptic Rings for 100c each....they sell almost immediately. WTF, check prices again....lots of people at 100c, for weeks. Lots of people at 105c. What's going on?

Now, all the duds.

Trust me, that has been proposed already in various forms. Someone suggested AI code decorators. Perhaps counterintuitively, this is a human problem. More AI is not the answer.

My boss will not curtail Claude's verboseness. I love getting MRs where the description dwarfs the diff. Or the diff itself packed with grey text with green background. I think I'm going to stop reading MR descriptions and code comments unless I absolutely need to. So, basically the way it was...

Boooooo! I just spent all night theorycrafting! https://pobb.in/6aoWJEXpWR5Q Still, as you say, quite good. I try to normalize "Starter" level of gear to 10s of chaos per item with a few exception. Like in this case, with tons of added flat, the obvious answer is Paradoxica. And...

Haven't had time to play with this in PoB. I was thinking the energy blade smite shell would adapt to this pretty well. Perhaps more interesting: a high end flame link build add more flat to the merc, min and max, than your merc adds max flat to you. But getting and defeating a non gay merc...

What rings are you using on the merc? The Esh rings for lighting damage -> aura effect?

How much flat would you estimate that wrath is adding? 50-2000? Rallying Cry mercs were a thing during 3.26. The ones I remember were going for maximum clunk and combined them with retaliation skills :|

Oh, that's dumb. I thought merc level was supposed to scale some generic buff stats and gate gear they could equip. Gem levels makes incremental upgrades more important and explains why the 83 combatant was trashing my control blocks combatant. This system is too powerful and only "balanced"...

How are you getting level 40 wrath? I didn't think they were skill gems.

Increased effect of non-curse auras in the presence of pinnacle bosses?

I love putting a build together in PoB only find core components that cost 10s of chaos last league now cost 10s of divines(MoM Impossible Escape). Kinda at a loss what to play. I like HRoC Necro(Gravebind and Kulemak staff with pops is required), but it can't handle Destructive Play with the...

I'm having trouble transitioning from a derpy control blocks merc to a cheap 83 merc. Am I really supposed to reset control blocks until I get a combatant without spectral helix?

Thanks. The grouping construct is what I was missing.

If you want a combatant with static strike and frost blades, both eligible for chain, how do you filter on the chain support on frost blades only?

The /review skill is multi agent. The supervisor fires up a documentation, bug, complexity, git history, etc agents, checks their findings, scores them, and then presents it to you. AFAIK, it doesn't go back to the sub agents with "no, this is dumb", so there's not really a dialogue going on...

Can you tell the difference if someone had already done an AI review on their code? If not, doesn't that imply you should review your own code similarly? If you can, do you toss the review away as it's potentially already into garbage territory? I've definitely done what your teammate has...

That's definitely a "solution" and one my boss went to almost immediately. He's on the $200 Claude Code plan and was complaining about running out of tokens 5 days into his weekly session. I was lamenting having to ask for more(because I don't think we've solved the baggage that comes with AI)...
