    Memory game feels antithetical to the design of PoE. Boss design has been slowly creeping as they run of ways to make you run in circles. I'm going to have to start adding "visual clarity" as a build choice from now on. I'm playing a LL Poet's Pen Blade Blast character right now and it's...

    Thanks. Does the map device tell you to get fucked before spawning any portals, or does it effectively eat it?

    What do invitations for atlas regions do if you don't have a full 10 bosses witnessed for that region? Fuck me, I should have made a character named Karsa Orlong.

    To reiterate/clarify, in a vacuum, I think the changes to Harvest are likely in the right area. The problem is that they also tell most players "fuck you, go back to dealing with our shitty trade system". I don't want Harvest, I want Not Trading. I don't know how they don't know this. But...

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

    Odd, unreadable and ugly are common detractors levied at perl. Python is specifically built for readability, so if you're having trouble with that, that's on you or whomever wrote the code you're trying to decipher. I can understand the whitespace issue, but this usually comes from people that...

    He might be, not sure when he was hired. What gets attributed to him seems opposite of what Chris would want though.

    Neon is part of the old guard? Chris has explicitly used him as a scapegoat for PoE's current loot explosions.

    I'll admit I don't have numbers to backup my claim. There are definitely some thirsty women out there but I'm willing to bet there are far more openly thirsty men, which is what allows this behavior. The double standard of you can't ask a woman's weight or age but they can openly have height...

    I meant "no trade" quite literally. Fuck player interaction. Gear progression in SSF is only a consideration as a deterrent if it's too slow.

    I would dig it up if I actually thought there was a chance GGG would implement this. I believe Balormage's idea 1-2 podcasts ago was to limit to 2 the amount of affixes that can be harvest crafted. No more perfect items. No more TFT discord because of lowered demand. However, doesn't fix...

    Ultimately changes that needed to happen IF Harvest absolutely positively must stay in the game. But delivered with some of the most disconnected sentiments and backhanded complements ever.

    No, I mean that women can get away with being picky and disdainful and men can't. A man putting "no fatties" in his profile would become a social pariah.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    How long did you cook them for? Every time my wife makes stuffed peppers, they turn mushy. She does it as a one-pot meal in the slow cooker, so I imagine having to cook the stuffing to a certain temperature is the issue here.

    For what you should be using Python for, I can't think of a reason why you'd want to use perl instead.

    The annoyance of having to maintain a skill that is incongruous with the flow of battle is definitely a major thorn for any build that utilizes it. I'll consider numerically inferior builds if they represent a major improvement in QoL. Poet's Pen and Spellslinger or CoC are vastly superior...

    They dinged the base damage and effectiveness of added damage the same patch(3.6) they did the same to worb, before nuking worb the next patch. BV has been the same ever since.

    Wonder if this will get BV nerfed. For how quickly they buried Spellslinger, I'm surprised how long they've left BV in its current state.

    Well, I wouldn't mind being told I'm wrong about Asenath's and Storm's Gift, these are conclusions I've drawn myself mostly. Both gloves need a non-exploded mob(i.e. a corpse) nearby in order to make its neighbors explode. That's why I came to conclusion that you need two mobs to chain through...

    My recollection was that the time from initial contact with a pack to swinging to the balls splashing and killing stuff was too long. I'll admit I didn't try it with an explode chest.

    Nah, I didn't get that far, clear was abysmal. My recollection from when I was theory crafting that build is that the balls should spread evenly through out the larger circle. I want to say 50% of them should hit the main target, but I don't remember how I came to that conclusion. A well...

    I don't think I've ever seen someone play ele hit as melee. Replica Farrul's Fur + Arn's Anguish + Slayer opens up a ton of interesting build ideas. Shame it costs so damn much. Asenath's will never chain as well as a chest that can proc itself. With Asenath's and Storm's Gift, you need at...

    Oh, I'm expecting dissatisfaction. The ssf experiment was more the point. Did your current build meet all those facets? Even if stupidly expensive, what was it?

    As it should. I think what's out of whack here is that builds are being revealed much earlier(Maven observations are a big part of this). Previous leagues, I'd get invested in a build for 10s of exalts and run into the uncomfortable content at the way end. At that point, almost done with the...

    Sure. PoE needs content rotation akin to card games. I don't know if that would help specifically, but maybe everything would get more implicit polish due to more available dev time due not having to maintain 5 year old content. I really like what Hearthstone is doing in finally implementing...
