    Path of Exile

    Try playing Hardcore if you aren't already, much easier to be rich in maps on HC. Granted that also means there's a lot less items to buy, but that also means you get to do a lot more crafting. SC will always have an economy that makes mediocre items worth virtually nothing, and...

    Literally the first league in 2013, which they then included into the base game like they do with pretty much every league. Might want to check it out again, game is pretty different.

    History of FoH

    Yeah, but it was controlled through spell interaction. As an Enchanter in vanilla, I never used Soothe because if it resisted you'd get the whole pack, and if it didn't you were still probably going to get the whole pack. I think eventually the Bard spell was baller with an item or two, but...

    It was only a huge part of EQ cause they could never fix it properly, but they always hated it as evidenced by the Feign Death nerf very early on.

    If any programmer is looking for an IT job in Houston, lemme know. My boss is coming around to the fact that we desperately need more programmers.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The problem is you're too concerned about doing the right thing in PoE when really you should just play it normally and discover things as they pop up. You'll get to "teleporting around like maniacs spitting giant orbs of ice, or running into hordes of enemies and jizzing spinny hammers out" in...

    This latest league is ending in a couple of months or so and it's by far the best league yet, so I'd definitely check it out before then.

    It does, Curse Area of Effect affects the base curse skills, which are modified into an aura and given bonus range by the Blasphemy support gem. Increased Area of Effect and Increased Aura Area of Effect also apply to a Blasphemy supported curse. EDIT: Keep in mind diminishing returns, as...

    The grab isn't a one shot, actually:

    Oh where they stab you through the heart? That's not a true one-shot, it does multiple hits.

    Might be in New Game+, but they definitely don't one shot SL1 in normal. Here's a Four Kings video demonstrating that:

    Dark Souls

    It's not as hard as you would think -- bosses in Dark Souls can only do something like 70% of your life max in one hit iirc. I started an SL1 playthrough ages ago, but then I got distracted by another game, but I don't know if I'll ever play it at that level again.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They fixed desyncing ages ago with Lockstep, and they added "Always attack in place" as an option on a per-skill basis which so far as fixed any problem I had with melee.

    If you're not playing it right now, you're missing out on some of the best gameplay the Action RPG genre has ever had.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The sedan and the convertible versions of the car are entirely different cars, actually. EDIT: Different production years and everything, that sedan you linked had model years 85-89, and the convertible Chukzombie drives is 87-95.

    Sounds like a classic case of L2P! The trick to hitting 100 is to create a character that just doesn't die.

    Loved my quad curse Bladefall character: Used to be I'd only get wrecked by certain T15 bosses with it, but the less modifier for curses on bosses is too insane to overcome now. I think I might actually roll Bladefall Totems this league with a Templar.

    Well I mean that sounds exactly like an anal fissure, depending. They can go away pretty quick, and you can keep doing it to yourself depending on your diet.

    I was more thinking about like updating SqlServer or going to a new Windows server version. I really want to get a MEAN stack in here, but don't know anyone with the expertise to walk me through all the little details of it, let alone how to start developing in it.

    So it looks like we're going with a WISA stack and not a LAMP stack for our project cause one of our consultants is familiar with C# and ASP. I guess it's not a huge deal either way, I'm just worried we'll be stuck in a position where it's a pain in the ass to update the framework and it'll be...

    *Shrug*, I think it would depend if you staked them in a pool or solo, but I don't think anyone has solid numbers on what the returns would be either way yet, I think it'll have to be released to make that determination.

    First quarterly review I've gotten as an IT professional, 5's across the board. I think the biggest thing that stands out from it is that they were happy that I shared solutions across the company and worked with my co-workers to come up with solutions, rather than keeping things to myself and...

    Naw, we've got a SQL consultant, and yeah I used a very broad term on purpose, it's way too much to get into just for kicks. I think I'm going about it the right way, we've had huge problems with technology at the company and it's viewed almost 100% as a bad thing anytime we release something...
