Is Erikson back in form? No philosophical melodrama? You guys are making it sound like it's of Deadhouse Gates or Memories of Ice in quality.

I have a similar problem with my Schiit Modi 2 DAC. Skimping on proper soldering seems to be the issue. Others have reported baking the part long enough to cause the solder to reflow will fix the issue. All I know is that sometimes, I power down my PC at night for an update, my DAC won't...

So, if my house is on fire, I don't think anyone's going to give a shit that you trimmed the hedges in the meantime.

How do I know I want an arrestor? There's a fair amount of pipe that's not anchored and the motion could be caused by expected valve behavior and pressure. Not sure I have the tools or knowledge for installing that. I'll admit I get anxious in this area because I know I don't know enough...

I thought those were for resting the pipe. Those will stop upward motion too?

Got my water softener replaced recently. What was originally copper is now partially PEX. I think the previous install depended upon the rigidity of the copper. When the valve opens and water flows out of the softener(into the house), that pipe gets a bit wobbly for a few seconds. What would...

Cast is a requirement for boiling blood. 50% more damage seems too large to ignore on bosses. And because it seems not every bosses will grant their curse to casts, or some of them in a shitty way(Aphrodite), or some of them that prevents the cast from sticking, you can't rely on cast for...

Finally got Hades down. Used Achilles' Spear, but I don't think much of my damage came from attacks nor casts. I want to say triple dash strike while maintaining boiling blood and privileged status was most of my damage. 40 attempts, almost maxed out mirror, preferred Athena boons for...

They should have delayed the event two weeks.

Not sure I understand. You don't get more reward stacks per 20% delirium?

Is that the actual excuse they gave? That's some shitty planning if so. Still doesn't excuse spacing out mostly automated leagues a bit more. 3.17 still has some high expectations, regardless of delay. They're handling of Scourge was/is so poor that the only way it makes sense is if 3.17...

Squishing all the events together sure makes a ton of sense now! 3.17 is gonna have to be a banger of a league.

I'm having trouble getting past the Minotaur and his friend. I have a few issues that I'm unsure how to resolve. How integral(to beating the game) is using Cast? I suck at aiming, especially while trying to dodge, and the pseudo cooldown nature the skill means I basically never use it...

Did you just assume spiderman's itfriend's gender?

That's what the parentheses were for. Drummer does all the work and Holden for a QB sneak to take it in? IDK, 3 episodes left, killing off Drummer and Holden meaningfully finishing her work? Seems like a stretch.

Glad they mostly copied the fight between the Rocinante and Pella. Outsmarting the nav computer that's dodging your railgun seems like it would make a better moment than a lazy pilot though. In the book, Amos grilled Holden about deactivating the torpedo. Amos understood why he did it but...

That's not what I said. Builds and Paragon in D3 are not complex enough for a soft cap, as the game exists right now, to become interesting. The opportunity costs in PoE's passive skill "tree" is what makes PoB more interesting than PoE. D3 doesn't have that, that's why they need to start...

That would make for an awkward Christmas next year.

There's quite a lot that should be copied from PoE and other games. Copying and refining is what Blizzard used to do best and they're actually at a place in the ARPG market where they're not the leader. If they can manage to refine PoEs passive skill tree so it's not so initially daunting while...

Opting out of the political forum because I'm tired of that shit. Then the political forum shows up irl and the argumentative part of me can't just fucking stay out of it instead sticking to talking about surface level shit like movies or whatever. Part of me is rustled because some of my...

People bother botting D3 still?

Black Face Holden?

IDK, that last one seems borderline.

The Schlotrix might actually be worthwhile, if only to see Mike from RLM review it with the Mr. Plinkett character.

Some people watch TLJ for the same reason.

Kinda don't care about MTX after a certain point. Would prefer support could be better targeted. Div cards like that, but the entry point was way too high. And AFAIK, they're no longer doing them.

I wonder how many vulnerabilities are left and how spaced out they will be to fuck with everyone's holiday.

Tell him you'll only sell for 35M.

Make a phys immune bone shatter jugg.

I think trying to understand magic and power in Malazan beyond the abstract concept is an exercise in futility. Nor do I think that's necessary in order to comprehend the stakes and appreciate the narrative.

I guess my question was trying to imply: is Scourge IIR/IIQ really that much of a difference without the juice you can only easily get from trade? And maybe it does. And maybe for every aspect of a build that they "SSF enabled", they tossed another part on the "trade only" with the super rare...

How long would it have taken if you had to gear yourself and didn't buy any scarabs nor sextants? I'm assuming nem3 farming requires buying sextants.

Yes. But lots of people are weird.

Scourge implementation was too rough for me to enjoy. Extra monsters that would often lead to clunky map clearing. Especially if your map had low density at the start combined with no map overlay of where you've cleared Scourge. The realization that the IIQ and IIR was only rewarding if you...

My brother mentioned that perhaps the viewing experience is better without having read the books. I have(read the books), he hasn't. He might have a point. But I'm still not sure it redeems the recent seasons.

You get certain amount of XP from each reinforcement spawn point. After that, you get nothing. This was their creative fix to tunnel and repository leveling.

5 minutes into Heist, someone wants to buy your shit for a borderline worth the effort price.

Nirgon just mad cuz not Brad.

What are some of the things you're passionate about experiencing in life? Personally, it helps a lot to see something in action as a sort of organic motivator. A colleague was recently promoted, much deserved, but now it's got me thinking about progressing my career when I had been complacent...

Zaara, what kind of growth are you looking for from him?
