No, I thought the beach scenes were particularly gorey. I'm perhaps reconsidering both now.

Yeah, I was thinking LL Falconer that throws traps that throw traps that throw flasks that are converted to cold. I really liked that build in 1.1 I think, but they've decided to murder it in the worst way possible by making the mana costs obscene. This game needs a few more options when it...

Oh, silly me, I forgot the best update in 1.3: enemies aurally and visually shatter if frozen when killed. Best thing to have ripped off PoE. I definitely want to try a clear-based build that freezes enemies. Any suggestions?

I had similar thoughts wrt to the death camps. There was a writing assignment that was basically pick a topic, research it, write a brief summary. I was surprised his 6th grade teacher was ok with the Holocaust. Obviously the offline written database they were supposed to use is quite...

What's the appropriate minimum age for this series? My kid is almost 12 and I think that will be ok. But I also realize there is a tame sex scene and I might be desensitized to some of the gore and violence.

I agree, this is pretty barebones in terms of content. I haven't fully looked at the primordial items, there might be some actual depth there.

Has anyone got a satisfactory Heartseeker build? I tried the fire version last league and the issue is that Heartseeker can pick targets that take a while to die, eating up your recurves(for puncture procs) and delaying how long until said Punctures go off. Dragonsong is kinda a bandaid...

Hexblast got nerfed so hard, it was removed from both games.

Yep, stamina potions is what I thought of when I heard about sprinting. If you watch Chris Wilson's interview with Brevik, Brevik will admit that stamina was one of the biggest D2 mistakes.

A toilet hit you?

And herein lies the fundamental issue with PoE2. This is effectively old school ghostbusting from PoE1. But mechanics that might facilitate this in PoE1(reverse knockback, Vaal Cyclone) or used to(transfigured chain hook) does not exist in PoE2. And probably never will. Please follow build...

Is this how you normally play? Self-inflicted roguelike PoE?

Sorry bro, my degeneracy stops at ARPGs.

Makes more sense, so to speak, in PoE1, where the state of ground loot and crafting is such that most of the playerbase would rather not interact with it. How does this not take a torch to the crafting they're trying to encourage in PoE2?

You were going to play for more than a week?

WTF is getting revealed in PoE2 0.3 that necessitated this?

You have to run lab repeatedly until you reach maps.

IIRC, your wife would like another kid even though it's essentially not in the cards anymore? My wife still expresses desire for another kid despite being over 40 and the first pregnancy being quite rough. I'm not really motivated to reopen that topic, but I suspect there's something there.

That's conclusion I came to after reading your post. Very much a streamlined process. When I did a consultation, all the precautions and screening questions were generic surgery, nothing related to the vasectomy itself. I had to go hunting for risks, prompted by this thread. I wouldn't have...

No thanks. She's been much hornier since she dropped hormone-based contraceptives.

Glass-Steagall was defanged in 99.

Which KB? You can definitely model them and last I checked, PoB won't do it for you. There's not much point besides the mental exercise as the answer will almost always be "not enough". It's one of those skills you have smooth over its single target with lots of currency.

Is her boyfriend asexual too? Perhaps worth a discussion if they're talking about moving in together.

No, I get the difference. But what's the design philosophy? Did they actually make some bullshit claim about it spoiling....something?

What is that design philosophy? I thought the notes weren't prepared until the last minute, but PoE2 is full of head scratchers, so anything is plausible at this point.

Wanted to reply to this outside of the FSR because I anticipate there being a few replies and don't feel like finding FSR-worthy pics at work tomorrow. Part of this thread did scare me out of getting a vasectomy. The other part was calling up all of the providers in my area and finding out...

Would you also say it's in your recent top 3?

I'm simply not going to remember to press it every ~6s. In some cases, losing 90% of your recovery means going splat. It's annoying, unfun "gameplay". I'd rather it be removed tbh, but I doubt it would be replaced by something equivalent as I'm not sure how much clunk factors into the power...

Are you saying Lailloken has some way of representing the active life flask buff aside from the yellow duration bar?

Done with the league. Did majority of 40/40 on CoC FRoSS, Whispers of Infinity is likely getting nerfed. Endgame expansion is half baked at best. I never want more buttons to press. The inconsistency of what petal skills you get was frustrating and almost all of them made you pause flow of...

It does seem that way. Unfortunately, I don't have any say in the matter. I'm finding Google Meets inferior as well.

Recently switched from Teams to Slack and I'm finding there are features from Teams that I miss. Like up arrow to edit instead of up + E. Or meetings having dedicated chat for alerts slackers they're missing the meeting(Slack doesn't have formal meetings, so we're using Google Meet instead)...

My distrust and disdain does not come from a failure to understand the concept of a stock, but the disproportionate effect of what is essentially gambling has on our economy. There's probably a misunderstanding somewhere else, but I'm fine with the idea of stock. With the idea of fractional...

I still don't trust Wall Street. Not nearly enough people were punished for 2008. It's hard to wrap your head around the "value" Wall Street provides even though we're kinda sorta discussing the very thing in this thread.

Up until this point, I've just been taking advantage of employer match into a 401k or SEP IRA. We have no debt besides a mortgage and way too much in savings, so I think it's time to start contributing more. Is it correct that there are yearly contribution limits to tax deferred retirement...

You gotta provide some pretty powerful alternatives. We took our son to an indoor water park recently and he seemed like a "normal" kid for the first time in a while. He wanted to do the non screen stuff. I'm honestly not sure what to do either. Especially since I spend a lot my working and...

I wonder if that's because 40-59 grew up without an internet or if it's just purely age. A comparison to similarly distracting device like the television might be interesting if the data exists.

Did they do the same study on other age ranges? I feel like the internet has been indiscriminate in it's harmfulness.

Well, now I'm curious what you thought that money represented previously.

Can we get BoB Tom Hanks back? Hell, even The Pacific version?
