    Fair enough, I'll get those. While it's raining? I have one saved from heavy downpour because I thought the gutters were overflowing.

    Recommendations for fixing shingles that aren't sheeting correctly? Water is getting behind the gutter in even light rain. I thought it was the gutters themselves as they were kinda beat up and sagging in the middle, so I had them replaced this summer. I can peak behind the fascia(garage) after...

    Path of Exile

    Most bosses cannot have their action speed lowered below a certain percent of base. I think it's 70%, which you can hit on some cold or self chill builds with a little bit of investment, I doubt much will change there.

    Europa Universalis IV

    No, not country, video game. The game feels like it gets in its own way where the complexity is there for complexity's sake but not actual interesting gameplay. Either way, thanks for recommendations, I usually start in Europe and haven't really looked outside of it.

    Europa Universalis IV

    What would be the best "map painting" game? I last played EU4 4 years ago, so I bought the subscription and gave it another try. EU4 definitely fulfills that historical fantasy pretty well. There just feels like there is too much getting in the way of blobbing out. This leads to long...

    Terrine is like meat jello, right? Never tried it. Every time I've read up head cheese, aspic, or terrines, it just seems like the texture will be weird.

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    I disagree on the oxygen meter. Doom 2016 encouraged and rewarded you to keep moving and getting glory kills. A well timed glory kill could save your ass. The oxygen meter was an annoyance that never let you relax in a game about comparing guns. I don't recall the game progressing the oxygen...

    Socket pressure is pretty high. Even for someone like me that detests builds beyond simple ones, I still manage to fill up my sockets with useful gems and supports.

    Looks like possibly some nerfs that need filtering through the economy to see what their true effect will be. Definitely some SSF friendly changes there, so on the surface, I like most of those. I am concerned about no map currency rewards will make sextants scarce. FWIW, I didn't convert ANY...

    AssHat 2022 Voting Round 5 - the Final Four!!

    The execution is flexible. The point is to have creative solutions that will actually have an effect. One of the two idiots that are guaranteed to win will wear it as a badge of honor. They already do.

    Can we have some creative punishments for winning this competition? Ossoi made it obvious the scarlet letter has no effect. For example, every post Bubbles makes to the FSR is fed through a weeb AI art generator of @Kharzette chosing. Foler is let out of the rickshaw, but only after an...

    Seems like a "slow cookers are popular!" recipe of the 70s. I'm not sure I'd ever cook a pork chop in a slow cooker, seems like a good way to end up with an overcooked piece of meat. Moreover, how do you ensure the pork chop and rice are done at the same time? You might have better time...

    The expansion subscription worth it if you play this game only once in a while? Do you get access to the most recent...idk what to call it because it's not labeled as anything Steam. It's just "Europa Universalis: Lions of The North".

    And it's still not good enough. I can't figure out the exact reason, but the skill should self proliferate kinda like old HoI autobombers. Assuming you invest a bit into stun duration for pulse AE. But all it ever acts like is clearing a pack as if you just had melee splash and extra strikes...

    A single gem that gives you 25% more damage likely comes at a great cost. Figuring out how to fit that gem into your build while smoothing out the cost IS the game. The rest of that shit you mentioned, that's just filler. Put some porn/youtube/twitch on in the background and zone out.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll have to read up on this some more as I thought the consensus mechanism was still abusable when one actor on the blockchain becomes quite large relative to the rest.

    There's a lot of good in these notes. Life, crit multi, and some ailment stat from a rare jewel will be good. Get three(?) and now you're shock immune. I see that being worthwhile investment. However, what I don't see mentioned is the flipside of "there's a lot of shit unique jewels". Yes...

    So, what's the endgame here? It's obvious to see crypto is a scam, especially now. But I don't think Flobee's RTFM approach is going to result in populist change. If there is longlasting appeal to bitcoin and/or blockchain(I'll admit, I haven't RTFM either), how do you sell voters on it? It...

    Thanks to a rapid decline in player retention and the crutch that is the player economy, PoE leagues now come with the exciting pressure to achieve your goals before it collapses. I wonder if they realized this and that's why 38 was easier than 36 in most previous leagues.

    Defining a stopping point that isn't "grinding until you burnout" is the best thing an ARPG player can do. The developers aren't going to do it for you most of the time, they want you to keep playing.
