    And it's fun in some regards. An odd episode of American Dad with Director Bullock was great.

    Minions are so OP this patch that it's quite jarring when their lone weakness rears its head: retarded AI. Took 4 portals to do UE because my skittish Slave Drivers kept eating Elder donuts and Shaper beams. Convoking wouldn't help because they'd run the fuck back into the danger zone almost...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Star Trek is dead, has been for a while. DS9 was the last good piece of Star Trek media that explored thought-provoking topics. Voyager and Enterprise attempted to, but their execution sucked. Everything else since then have been imposters borrowing the name. The real irony in this day and...

    Just put meat shield support on your zombies instead of feeding frenzy if you want taunt. Feeding frenzy should be on your spectres while clearing since you want them aggressive.

    No, I'm definitely not a unique snowflake. I realize the hypocrisy of expecting these requirements in others while likely failing them in some fashion myself. That realization, that introspection, is perhaps more accurately what I'm looking for in others. I'm much more forgiving of people...

    Much better. I'm surprised you have the gem slots to fit an enhance gem. I had to get an unset ring just to fit everything on my summoner. Though, I am using 6 auras... Can anyone comment on Baron zombie clear vs Slave Driver clear? I'm pretty much done gearing out my Mana Guardian for...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No, the cunt part is hyperbole to emphasize the example. Let me try again. If my wife said one of my friends is doing something stupid, I'd reconsider whether I support my friend's actions just because he's my friend.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The endgame is likely divorce if I'm being a completely pragmatic nonbiased observer. I want to feel like I'm making progress. Like I said, I got her to effectively admit that women are paid less because women make financially poor decisions, but I'm not convinced there aren't some cognitive...

    I disagree on this. If my wife said one of my friends is a cunt, I'd have a long hard think as to why I was friends with that person.

    I can disagree with people. They better have solid reasoning otherwise I'm going ignore their opinion and probably start the argument again the next time said opinion comes up. I don't want a wife that thinks the Patriarchy is real or believes in the female wage gap is real. I've had to...

    This is an interesting tangent, one I anticipate will be relevant tomorrow as one of the pronouners is coming for my son's birthday and this will be the first time interacting with her since she changed her pronoun. However, I haven't had anyone, in my home, ask me to use specific pronouns...

    This is what a feminist looks like. To be fair, the specific ideology is not the point. Do not ascribe your children to movements or ideas that they cannot comprehend the full weight. This is no different than baptism.

    Well, yeah, no kidding. That's why I've been mentioning divorce the last few times I've posted regarding my marriage. The shirt thing was relatively easy to handle. I got it to stop but she said I bullied her and then tried to weasle her way back into dressing him again because she thought I...

    You don't see using your kids as billboards for ideology as dangerous? I expect to be confronted. I *want* to be confronted. Change my fucking mind. Expose me to viewpoints and ideas I haven't considered. People that hold opinions and aren't able/willing to back them up are loathsome. I...

    She hangs a LOT of stuff on the walls. Usually, I'm grateful because I decorate like a man. But it also makes it hard to notice the bullshit. She honestly doesn't see "Fuck the Patriarchy" as confrontational. One of her counterpoints was that no one has said anything about yet :rolleyes:

    For the most part, they're fine. My wife is super nonconfrontational. When I was arguing(and probably will again) about the "Fuck the Patriarchy", her concern was very little about the message and mostly that her friend made it for her. That kind of apathy and nonrealization of appeasement is...

    Hmmm, I'm not as familiar with the life-based necro version of Slave Drivers. I'm playing a LL Mana Guardian currently and using the annointment on Gravepact since it's 10 points out of the way.

    I would say "I don't want to be around that stuff" if I felt that would actually happen. And by "stuff", I mean I don't want any needlepoints in my house, no bumper stickers on my car, no magnets on my fridge, no tshirts on my son, and no preferred pronouns in my conversations. I get your...

    I'm not sure what happens when you try to apply two same-level curses at the same time and you have a 1 curse limit. But as it is now, you're definitely not getting both, unless I missed somewhere where you increased your curse limit. Oh, one other thing, you're wasting much of your neck slot...

    The two people I know that are playing the pronoun game, at least to the capacity I know them, have not come anywhere close to the caricature SJWs I've seen on the internet. Nevermind, just finished writing that and reminded myself that one of them is the wife to the person that made the "Fuck...

    @Soygen More like sycophants. Like, I don't truly believe they're SJWs, I don't believe my wife is, but it's popular. Under the right circumstances, I will play along too. I HAVE played along. My boss rehired an intern and put him on my team this time. Except now he's a she. Didn't look...

    Just using the ability was shit. Having to keep your mouse right next to your character to exploit the double swing was fucking stupid. They made attempts to fix the pathing but it was never that good in that respect until 3.7.

    Wife: Person A and Person A's husband will be coming over for dinner after they get out of work. The husband has chosen they/them for pronouns, so now I have to ask what "they" refers to in that sentence. I know what you're going to say, the conjugation on the verb should 95% of the time clear...

    Wait a minute...reddit did something good? Also, I agree about old cyclone being quite aidsy. I put up with it for a few builds somehow, but having a serviceable cyclone existing in D3 at the same time was especially galling. The problem I always come back to for prolif builds is sustain...

    I imagine Beacon of Ruin was nerfed because the game can no longer handle the amount of calculations involved with prolif. Speaking of performance and scapegoats...I want my fucking shatter sound back. I'm voting with my wallet, no more supporter packs until they fix this. I don't care if it...

    How do you deal with the dead time with CWC? It doesn't sound like much, but 0.35s of nothing happening after you start channeling is pretty jarring since, as far as I know, nothing else operates this way. Every other skill or trigger is immediate activation followed by "cooldown".

    Can you still get your Elder orb that way? I usually kill Uber Elder then uncomplete my T16s. I used to uncomplete my T15s too, but I've never had to run my shaped T15 since I started doing that, just end up selling them in bulk. The changes to master missions made this even better as no more...

    Weird that Uber Elder is 1 of the 4 you didn't do. First league I've played a summoner, more enjoyable than I anticipated. My baseline for comparing builds is blood aqueducts and Slave Drivers/Zombies got 400m XP/hour there. Tied for my best with Static Strike, but that ability has some real...

    A corrupted Soul Tether with 15% all res was 4ex last league, it's known. It's ok but not as great as it sounds. The ES degen really starts to cut into your leech once you get a decent amount of ES. Playing a Cyclone Slayer last league, it was quite easy to see my leech fighting with the...

    Perhaps this build is better for a mana guardian. Looking at some of the minion-based Guardian builds, I don't understand why very few of them pick up Harmony of Purpose. Aren't Frenzy charges really powerful for minions?
