    Tech is riding high on hopium, telling investors they can use AI to build the future without employees.

    Seems safe. They know how to weather bad retail seasons, even prosper. Winter is coming. That said, the time to buy in was before.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    That's what I was saying, I thought the casting was good because he's a whiny bitch and Paul was a whiny bitch for most of the book.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Balthier was cool as fuck but I'm not sure I'd say he's the best, though probably close. If FF6 ever gets a true remake, most of the characters in that game would clobber most protagonists after that. Lulu had some very nice personalities.

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

    At that level of vuln damage, it's probably worse than other buckets.

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

    There's a lot of mods and paragon board squares that give +vulnerability damage. And unlike most +damage stats, it's in its own scaling category like crit/crit damage.

    No, it's random instead. IDK, Vulnerability seems like a good innovation to me.

    You could say the same for crit and you have to roll that on items mostly.

    Why do people think vulnerability/vulnerability damage is a bad implementation?

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Ridiculous complaint because the original movie is nothing like the book anyway. Trailer looks good, bordering on great but Zendaya remains the weak point. Chalamet is hard to take seriously but honestly I found Paul to be hard to take seriously right up until you do. That's the whole point...

    Isn't it mostly that rogues have access to tons of armor nodes? Damage is easy to get.

    There are two options at this point: 1) Grind all the way to uber Lilith and beat her 2) Uninstall and go play something else. Strongly recommend #2.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    lol, the ad people run the world. Literally. They got there with data, tons of it. There's a reason all the most powerful and influential entities in the world are basically ad agencies. The political parties, Google, Facebook, and all of the mainstream news media. Also the less mainstream...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    The only part of WAR I didn't like was the laggy/performance issues. Having this weird 0.3 second lag on every ability, and 'mythic seconds' was what took me out of the game the most. I thought the endgame was fine, as long as you were playing the outnumbered faction with friends who were good...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    Every Diablo game except maybe the first one. Firesofheaven.org Honestly probably World of Warcraft. Played that game for 7-ish years then another 2.5 years more recently. At no point did I ever have more fun in WoW than I had in Dark Age of Camelot, or other even shittier MMOs like...

    For frontline workers, retail, etc, nobody. But if companies just start laying off 10-20% of their office staff all the way up to the director level, that's going to take a ton of spending power out of the economy, put a bunch of houses on the market as people downsize, people start cashing out...

    So we already had the recession, nobody but a few tech workers lost their jobs (and almost all of them immediately found new ones) and we recovered that quickly via magic? No. Systems only self-correct when actual pain is administered. The pain is coming, likely early next year. I will say I...

    More layoffs, putting current products/services in maintenance mode and milking them. Don't need to innovate when users are already addicted and/or your enterprise clients are now hostages in your cloud.

    Really only weapons. A good ilvl 700 neck is better than an ilvl 800 with useless mods. Same for armor.
