    Europa Universalis IV

    Even with eyalets from missions but not granting them any provinces, I was running into gov cap issues. That's why I was trying to incorporate them as much as possible. With influence ideas, you can get a pretty high percentage of their tax, manpower, and force limit. Why not use them at that...

    Europa Universalis IV

    How are you handling eyalets? I think my strategy is ok but it has a ton of annoying micro. I try to keep some territorial cores on my border so that I can annex provinces in wars. Then I feed those provinces to an eyalet of the same culture group while keeping 1-2 myself for the next war...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Ottomans do seem like cheating. Eyalets not counting against diplomatic relations is very powerful for blobbing. What gov cap? The only drawback is changing your blobbing style in Africa and Asia so that you always have cores in range to feed your eyalets. Even better, it feels like building...

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

    Fair enough. I was just responding to your APM point. Not really much can be done about slowing down PoE. We have a discussion going in the Torchlight thread about slowing down PoE. I would consider RF as close to fewer clicks without going autobomber.

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

    Sounds like you need a healthy dose of AutomateItAway. There are a significant portion of builds that revolve around just right clicking the screen. Or you could just become one of those minions-only schmucks.

    Yes. I'd say totem explode taints the challenge though.

    Torchlight: Infinite

    PoE already has a fundamental problem where a significant portion of content(i.e. gear and gems) cannot be solo self farmed by veteran players in the timespan of one league. Ruthless might restore some of that feeling of accomplishment via creativity but then completely undermines it at the...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Don't give that movie an undeserved accolade. TNG was on the air for 7 years prior, passing the torch was unnecessary.

    Path of Exile

    Only ~2 months until ExileCon. I've never been more productive! Been toying around with some Kitava's Thirst builds. Revamped Heirophant and Arcane Surge make them look interesting? There's a variant that puts Frostbolt in the helm and triggers it with Ice Nova. Some of those will support...

    Torchlight: Infinite

    You don't play PoE. You play PoB and then verify your build in PoE. The gameplay is mechanics interactions and depth of character progression. There's definitely something to be said for it being too fast and having to get immunity for a whole slew of ailments. I don't think D4 trading this...

    Ideally the latter. The former will happen instead.

    Succession

    Not really an after episode. But they did have a bit, per season I think, where the showrunners would be more candid about the show and plot. My point is that I'd rather not know how this shitty sausage was made. I already have a pretty good idea and tacit confirmation would just threaten my...

    Isn't that where they admitted to forgetting about the Iron Fleet? Are you sure you want a deeper dive into their stupidity?

    IDK, my dad has stories of his dad bitching about contractor flakiness and lack of availability. I don't doubt what you're saying in the here and now as I've experienced the same thing myself. Does it seem like something has changed because this forum has grown up and has an increased demand...

    Christ, finishing 38 achievements this league feels like such a slog and I'm having trouble feeling out why. Some of the achievements are complete ass. Specifically, the crucible related ones. I've been full baking crucibles for over a week and I'm still missing the "beast of the caverns"...

    Doesn't have to be that nice, but I won't rule it out. I listen to a fair bit of music while working. We use Microsoft Teams, unfortunately.

    Headphones & Audio Devices

    Anyone have a recommendation for work-related headsets? The shitty Microsoft(not even a model name) ones keep breaking. I figured I'd ask before buying something and missing out on some functionality I didn't know I wanted. Dedicated mute button is pretty nice when you're ignoring the meeting...

    Path of Exile

    It's perhaps important to distinguish that splitting steel projectiles have a limited lifetime AND explode on destruction. I think it's the only (attack?) ability with that combination. Thus you have to hug the boss for this to work. Maybe a bit of AoE investment too. Also important to point...

    Path of Exile

    Yes, VC being at least a 10x damage multiplier for Splitting Steel will be specifically fixed. It should be noted that even in its busted state, the skill is still not meta due to Call of Steel. People would rather play that stupid totem build than a Call of Steel skill. For most projectile...

    If you hover over the voidstone sockets, it tells you how to get them. The first two are indeed quick and easy. Last two involve Maven herself and Uber Elder. I don't think either are harder than Exarch or Eater, but they do take a while to grind out access frags.

    But muh atlas point. If you had run that during that tripled map mod bug last league, would that have been 210% less damage taken, or 70%^3 less damage taken?

    You don't need lifetap on your totem and leap slam, your rings solve that. You could probably cut faster attacks supporting leap slam. IDK, unset ring? Separately, culling strike on your totem for maximum pob warrior dps. Kaom's Spirit might be fun to slot in. That 1% evasion and armour as...
