    Path of Exile

    I still haven't gotten a good idea of what's good to pick up and what's not, in terms of rare items. The game does a poor job of reinforcing this because even items that are, on average, worth picking up, will still be trash 99% of the time. How do you gauge it?

    So, next league details should be announced at some point tonight? I got the bulk of my boss-related achievements in bestiary with a juggernaut. I'm planning on doing the same next league but I don't know how to replace the craicy carapace.

    Hearthstone

    Have you considered dusting your collection and quitting? If it was a sufficient way to build a collection, I probably would have been fine doing dailies-only like I do now in Gwent. I have a suspicion(that I don't really care to confirm) that if I played Gwent as much as I played Hearthstone...

    I'll admit I started at the tail end of breach, so I can't really speak to a well-designed tradeskill-oriented league. That being said, tradeskilling in this game is pretty horrible. Maybe this was their attempting to fix it, idk. 9 times out of 10, it's much safer and cheaper to buy what you...

    Wizardhawk likes gamblingtradeskilling, so any criticism of Bestiary's absolute shit implementation gets misconstrued as an attack on tradeskilling. If implemented well, I think Bestiary could have been a nice little addition to the core game just like Essence. No one will go nuts for it, it...

    Looking at elementalist, I'm not actually sure it's the best choice. You get built-in prolif, 20% more ignite damage, 25% fire pen and...that's it. The 2 pointers aren't reliable so I don't really count them. I wonder if a raider or juggernaut would be better. @AladainAF I haven't made it...

    Thinking of making a flicker strike elementalist next patch, but not sure if that's a good idea for a league starter. Using prolif as your only form of AE seems sexy.

    Even at moderate endgame play, time spent leveling through A10 is relatively small.

    Hearthstone

    I can never decide if this kind of fuckuppery is unique to hearthstone, or this is endemic to TCG(someone has to lose) and hearthstone is under a microscope. For example, I recently gave MTGA a try and I didn't have any of these card-specific balance thoughts. And then I remembered, that's...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Here's the thing, I can't remember the last film I watched where I thought not being spoilered would have (dramatically)improved the viewing experience. Now, of course, that's all personal taste, and I said I don't like horror films. But even relatively complex books like the Malazan series...

    I used to hate trials and I still think they're quite stupid, but that seems like a weird deal breaker. Unless you're farming uber lab, the amount of time you spend in lab and its varied trials is quite small.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Meh, the Mr. Plinkett thing is I guess off-putting, so I'll give you that. I normally fast forward, it's just the first few minutes anyway. Half in the Bag is not parodying Collider, the Nerd Crew show is. I was pretty sure of that when I initially posted, I wanted to see if you thought that...

    Black Panther (2018)

    No idea who Charlie is, but isn't Collider what RLM primarily parodies in their nerd crew videos? If that's even 10% accurate, why did it take this movie to break you of that habit? Why did you even start?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I would definitely prioritize low, but I wouldn't write that scenario off completely. Maybe your GPS system interacts with car's bus such that it interferes with how the steering wheel talks to the wheels. Yes, that's a bit ludicrous since I think that should all be mechanical, but pick to...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We don't specifically test postgres itself, but we sure do stress the fuck out of how our product interacts with postgres, including lots of different valid configurations for postgres. Both are valid and if you think unit testing is lacking, that's one thing, but don't sacrifice integration...

    Anything with projectiles! I'm doing a dead spectral throw for the race. Spectral throw is one of the few good clear skills that also does good single target with a gem swap.

    Picture of blogger displayed at top AND in the middle of the recipe? That always sets off my suspicion because it means they care more about sharing their blog, not that the recipes are good. But as I mentioned, chocolate cake is not new nor complicated. A self-aggrandizing blogger can still...

    Yes, but she doesn't explain why so she probably doesn't know the reason. Cake flour has less protein, which can affect the structural integrity of the cake. Don't swap them unless you're sure the cake can withstand that. Reads like bullshit. Completely wrong. Whatever balances your recipe to...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    That's an odd complaint. Are they actually blaming compile time on why they can't be more responsive? Depending on the change, for an application this size, I can see overnight as a reasonable amount of time to build a new installer.

    That's the other part I don't like. I've left out food(like leftovers that need to cool before going in the fridge) for hours because after I've washed the dishes, I'm done with the kitchen for the night. I'm sure it's not that annoying, I just haven't felt like I need a regular cast iron pan.

    An enameled dutch oven is a good way to start with cast iron if you're weary about the upkeep of a regular cast iron pan. I haven't actually felt the need to buy one yet, the dutch oven does everything I would want out of a cast iron pan.

    Arc is already viable! With poet's pen... I wonder how that will work now. If you put Vaal Arc in a Poet's Pen, is it now firing off Vaal Arc any time you have souls and regular Arc otherwise? That'd be pretty fucking good. Even with the freed up gem slots, Vaal skills will still require a...

    Vaal skill rework preview has been posted. Forum - Announcements - Skill Revamps - Part 4 - Path of Exile As someone who's really only used Vaal Haste, Grace, and Reave, these seem like good changes. I never played PoE during the Vaal Fireball/Spark meta, but I'm betting some people wanting...

    I don't disagree with you, but I need a little bit of both. It can't just be to beat someone else or just to get some gold or do some dailies. Constructed play in MTGA doesn't offer any reward after dailies, so the "Why am I suffering through this?" question shows up early. Hearthstone...

    This throwback is in some weird middle ground. Long enough to build at least a couple characters and the awesomeness of Legacy(without the stone bullshit!) but no new content, challenges, or reworks. I think I would have prefered full blown 3-month throwback league. Toss in whatever skill...

    That being said, after putting together a better deck, I'm not sure what the purpose of ranking up is. There's a lot of "here, you figure this out". I know it's beta, but I'd be almost completely lost if I didn't have previous experience in MTG. This game is ROUGH and they're already trying...
