    Reading this thread, seeing all these terms I don't understand, it finally clicked why @James hasn't posted in the PoE thread in quite a while.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's not without merit. But at the same time, I kinda feel like some guy shows you how to fire a gun complete with all the proper safety precautions then JJ Abrams, Alex Kurtzman, and Rian Johnson proceed to shoot themselves in the foot.

    Star Trek: Picard

    How about both? In The Pale Moonlight or The Siege of AR-558 are memorable in part because of their contrast to "regular" Star Trek. Ron Moore went on to BSG and the darker tones were the norm there, so they never stood out. That show had other issues that hampered it, so perhaps I'm not...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I'll back off that a bit. My recollection came from RLM discussing the matter that basically Rick Berman was a passive aggressive asshole to certain cast members but wouldn't actually fire them.

    Tell her you want to make some baba ganoush. If she's that type of trans, she's already baked the eggplant, if you know what I mean.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Oh, I know there's more going on than just crypto miners. Intel can't seem to work out the issues on their bleeding edge manufacturing process and there's drought in Taiwan affecting TSMC. But, I think it's wrong to dismiss crypto in this case. Those people aren't scalping because they're...

    My GPU isn't that old(1060 TI) but I'm just counting the days until *something* breaks the repairs are costly for really stupid reasons. I don't mind stuff being more expensive, but it should be for the right reason. Like paying the true(environmental and otherwise) costs to manufacture foods...

    Path of Exile

    Fair enough, I'll admit I misremembered that part. I still think the heart of my point is valid though. Regardless selling the gear or not, if you self-priced the gear lower because that's what it was worth on the open market, would that change your opinion of Harvest? The SSF argument makes...

    Path of Exile

    It's not always about the money, Spiderman. Market valuation was your argument. Perhaps shame on me to expect you to have a good faith discussion. My counter point was what would you think of Harvest if you couldn't make as much money from it? Cadden made a bunch of money from Heist this...

    So you're ok with people cornering aspects of the market, the Mathil effect, and flippers?

    Path of Exile

    How much money would you make if the gear you created wasn't inflated and obfuscated by the playerbase's unwillingness to participate in shitty systems(trade, crafting, stop mapping) and/or general lack of knowledge to do so? The latter part of your post is strawman garbage.

    Exactly. Until they demonstrate that they know how to mitigate the long term costs of coring leagues, I'm going to argue for removing some of the less valuable stuff.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I have an alternative(PoE), it certainly makes a conscious difference. If this game was the only way to get modernish D2 gameplay, these issues would likely be overlooked.

    Path of Exile

    Keeping content in the game is at least part of the reason why the game's performance sucks. It's also why the game is so daunting to new players. Merging leagues into the base game is not free. I don't agree about Harvest being that powerful. At least, an intuitive "out of the box"...

    We had a giant silver maple that needed to come down since it was encroaching on our septic tank. For an extra ~$300, the tree removal company ground down about a half dozen extra stumps on my property, including the silver maple.

    Stealer of Souls + Plot Twist + Violet Illusionist. It's not an OTK combo but it is a ton of tempo. Add Mecha'Thun and Cataclysm after tearing through your deck.

    Done with the league as well, got my 36. Exsanguinate was a pretty fun skill but dangerous in terms of mechanics power creep. I don't believe we have another skill that can chain and high amount of parallel hits. Tornado Shot maybe? And it got nerfed for kinda the same reason. I didn't try...

    EFAP crew spent ~2 hours bitching about how the time cops undermine everything the MCU has built so far since they determine the choices people will make. But, unless I missed it, absolutely no one has mentioned it here. What am I missing?

    Wait a minute, I thought it was the other way around. Quick pickles require refrigeration and fermented pickles can just be stashed in the basement.

    Speaking of programmers...who designed the Cruelty support gem? Ailment threshold calculations are not intuitive but are kinda sorta ok because they are generally "bonus" damage. You don't really need to know how much you're shocking and chilling. I'm using Exsanguinate in a Poet's Pen...

    I've been enjoying Corrupting Fever KB gladiator. All aspects except the single target dps is top tier. That really only comes into play when doing the Feared, every other boss encounter is more forgiving on the dps. Anyone done the Feared on a Corrupting Fever build? Also wondering if...
