    More changes that make you question why the game was in the state prior to said change. And whether this will just lead to dev resentment again.

    Maybe. But there's a whole lot to commuting that I don't miss. I work at a pretty small company, so there's very little chaff. As in, most people are at the very least competent. The need for "just look at my screen" or in person meetings isn't prevalent

    Is Verizon still in the dark ages with no integrated VOIP? Even AT&T has that. Though, your work might block that traffic.

    I'm not going to use it. We have baseboard heating and I want to say it's already capped, but I might be getting terms mixed up. The inspector said it was capped when we bought it. My interest is completely within maintaining the chimney from a structural standpoint, that's all.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    It can make a difference. Risotto is cooked start to finish in the water used to hydrate the rice and make the ensuing sauce. A lot of pasta dishes are par boiled and then finished in a pan with their intended sauce.

    Anyone patched a cinder block chimney? We've never used it since we moved in 10+ years ago, and I'm pretty sure the previous owners didn't use it much at all either. So, from a functionality standpoint, I don't really care. I just don't want it to get worse and start falling apart. A few...

    If you really cared about an artist's political views and/or their inability to stfu, there would be very little art for you to appreciate. Drinker is a bloviating moron, try to not to use him as anything but the most generic of bellwethers.

    They already did, loot wise. 0.2.0g represented such a stark difference in the amount of loot dropping that it's suspicious.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Have they stopped developing expansions for EU4? Winds of Change(1.37) was May 8th, 2024 and it looks like EU5 is "soon". I've always held off on purchasing many of the expansion packs because the handful of recent ones are almost never significantly discounted and new content was imminent...

    Their employees were eating too much fruit. Out competed by AMD, lackluster and power hungry 13th and 14th gen processors, and poor management of a major fab mishap.

    I know I've been rustled by this before, but I'm going to mention it again because it's getting worse. My youtube subscription page is littered with faggots that use their channel for short form("classic" youtube content, 10s of minutes video) and long form(90% twitch restream/uploads...

    Glad they changed it, but I can't say that with complete certainty as I haven't played 0.2.0g yet, only familiar with the lack of loot prior to it and how unfun it was to struggle progressing as SSF. Still concerning how much they seem to want to make a strugglebus of a game.

    Is this private league "event" a test for "make your own league" so they don't have to?

    Because crafting is for items you wear. To pick up a random item to essentially drain its forging potential for corruption to then immediately toss the item feels counterintuitive. You're doing some arbitrary crafting on the item, but afaik, no one uses glyphs of envy for actual item crafting.

    Anyone know of a decent private league that is running Phrecia ascendancies? I was hoping for sentinel(I want to herd some cows), but I'm not picky. I might even do sirgog's, but he's running gauntlet mods. I'm assuming none of these are going to be advertised in the event box, which seems...

    Thanks. There are some glyphs I've never used. Doesn't seem intuitive to use the crafting system to boost corruption.

    I was right, you can craft Experimental affixes onto boots in one of the weaver echoes. It replaces, at random, one of the prefixes and requires at least some forging potential. How do people push high corruption so fast? I'm getting maybe 20 corruption per timeline completion and that 30m if...

    Frenzy or Haste on Traversal can be useful. LL Ward builds used to be popular, not sure anymore with Int -> Ward Retention getting halved. I think I read somewhere that you can craft experimental affixes on items in weaver echoes, but I'm not certain of that.

    Is there a better way to shop CoF prophecies? Go to the Oasis, socket lenses, refresh, visually filter icons on color and shape, mouse over remaining ones as some share icons(1H sword, 2H sword, melee weapon for example), then decide if the prophecy's requirements are applicable to where you...

    The previous owner must not have used them much. I've got maybe a few mm of clearance on the top of my giant noggin due to how permanently squish those pads are. Please let me know those replacements go, the ear pads are equally squished on mine. Should probably replace both. Oh, somewhat...

    "Annoying" is an understatement. We recently had to teach our IT department the magic of revisioning. We still ended up just taking the important shit away from them.

    It's consistently every echo from start to finish of a play session. I checked memory consumption at some point yesterday, it was around 6GB. I don't recall my system overall usage, I'll check that next time.

    I don't remember having this issue in LE 1.1. Right click to start an echo and the game visually pauses for a few seconds before the loading progress indicator appears. I don't have this problem in the campaign. Feels reminiscent of PoE1 around Betrayal where they just started adding more and...

    I don't disagree that the filter itself is relatively easy to use and can be ~10m with a few caveats. If you play without a build, the loot problem presents itself far before you've settled on even something approaching a build. Mathil talked about this on one of his recent videos, so I won't...

    FTFY I don't know how much I agree with the loot slippery slope postulation. That said, I don't play this type of game for "juicing". I will actively change my playstyle to avoid trading and the economy because fuck that shit. I haven't felt like they give away too much loot. BUT my recent...

    Sentinel league was one of their best. Especially when considering it was made during their borrowing of resources for PoE2. Clumping up mobs in the first part of the Glacier map reminded me a lot of D2 cow area.
