    I haven't read the manga but it's implied that frieren surpassed serie long ago simply because she's willing to accept other people's strength and willing to work with that strength to make herself even more powerful. Serie is an island, isolated in arrogance. Frieren is an army. It's a pretty...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Many of us recognized this about the base game and people still lined up to pay $90 for early access, breaking sales records in terms of profit. You were one of those people werent you? Lots of people here a year ahead of release acted like they were done and then still forked over the money...

    This is exactly my take as well. Which is why that scene with Serie asking the other first class mages what they thought was necessary dialogue. The one mage recognizes and conveys to the audience that fully suppressing mana is impossible, but he's also flawed because he didn't recognize the...

    From what I gathered it's actually impossible to stop your mana from fluctuating, even someone who has trained for hundreds of years like frieren can't do it, but most people can't read or see mana as well as they think, so frieren and serie, can easily fool all but the most powerful and adept...

    Well, they weren't charging a 6% commission. They were forcing sellers to include commissions for both agents to even have their home listed on MLS sites as I understand it. This also led to situations where unscrupulous buyer and seller agents would act in concert to maximize commissions and...

    They only need to do the absolute bare minimum while developing whatever garbage expansion that is in the works to keep people paying attention just enough to shove a $70 expansion down their throats. And sadly, people will gobble it up

    This type of thing (not specifically with AI but the practice in general) has been going on for a long time. The two biggest "WTF" moments I've had personally were when we interviewed and hired a junior developer and the person that showed up their first day was a completely different person...

    And now, with very little effort a pathfinder can hit 86% all max res with a single ele flask without losing anything, freeing up other flasks for anything they want instead of using all 3. 100% flask effect is easy to hit without any big currency items. Which puts you at 85. A good melding...

    Well, if that's the case, and you seem sincere, you probably should talk to people you trust IRL as well. Post as much as you want on the internet to get it out of your system but the things you're saying are extremely weird. And I don't say that to be mean.

    Mageblood will give you 95% and then PF + Passives can get you another ~80% without Affliction league shenanigans. And then you can get more from clusters/timeless jewels if you wanted.

    It is absolutely not the lower end for a developer/engineer. I've been a developer since 2005. Are you not aware that every single company needs software and that not every single company is based in Silicon Valley or Austin TX?

    You just keep teaching yourself new tech. I used to do that religiously and got completely disinterested and turned off by the move to managed services and cloud development suites.

    Yep. And that's true for every ascendancy, and while other ascendancies could make very good use of the less damage taken they get hit harder by this than PF does. PF will feel much less from this change than anything other than chieftain, which now has an easier time capping all with just a...

    In my experience any company putting you through the wringer like that during the interview process is not a company worth working for. You aren't some pimple faced kid fresh out of college. If the team you'll be working with can't read your resume and interview you in person based on that I'd...

    If you want to go down that rabbit hole you can google credit card churning. FWIW I did it for a while in my late 20s and it is absolutely not worth the time and effort. Mist says poors don't do it. It's the opposite, people with actual money will never find it worth doing.
