    Loki

    I had to tap out after 3rd or 4th episode. It didn't really feel like a show about Loki. It felt like Loki was on a guided tour at an amusement park, just kinda going through the motions while a bunch of people around him were being dramatic about a system neither he nor the viewer cared about.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    www.raidloot.com Ring of Scale Leveling Guide is probably the best guide for leveling quickly. If you've got other chars and want to plvl there might be superior options. I plan on doing what you're doing next year, and when I do I'll pretty much go to whatever zone and just move through and...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I don't actually want to use this but i am curious how accurate it is. I bet it gives everyone perfect tits and skin and poses

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm running sk/shm/brd/mag/mag, here's a vid of me and my old man playing a necro doing the hardest mission in the latest expansion. I'm going to roll a new persona group next year, maybe next expansion I'll have swapped one of the mages for a berserker.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Yep. It's got a lot of pieces that could be put together better, and a lot of improvement that could be done on those pieces. But that's the core issue.

    LitRPG

    I think I just like extremes. I like when a series unrepentantly embraces an aspect of the genre and goes ham on it. So yeah, I enjoy the cultivation scenes, though usually after he goes deep on a cultivation session for an hour I'm ready for something. Agreed with the someone repetitive...

    LitRPG

    Just finished the most recently released Defiance of the Fall book. I think this latest book makes this series rise to my favorite LitRPG series of all time. It's turned from a cultivation/system book into something of a cultivation Space Opera, bringing in a ton of different threads together...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    After leveling so many times in WoW I'd honestly be relieved if the optimal path was just grinding shit your level. I get a headache just thinking about the optimal quest pickup and routes to follow to maximize leveling speed. I'd rather just get a buzz and murder mobs.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Sometimes I think back to all the drama I've seen over the years of MMO nerds fighting over loot and how pointless it all really is. Guy will get dozens of items of a year and the one item they get fucked on causes them to lose their mind. I smile, thinking we've all got a bit wiser. Then I...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Hm, not really. As a computer science major I did my first two years at a community college and worked as a computer lab bitch. I went from that to an degree-relevant internship at an automotive engineering place and did that for the rest of my college. I didn't bother working at my school.

    I read this article, got confused and lost interest. https://profession.mla.org/the-humanities-as-service-departments-facing-the-budget-logic/ I'm going to concede the point via apathy and agree with you that if a dept or degree is highly valued but competing with teachers of that subject is...

    Thanks. Mathematicians on suicide watch. Why are visual and performing arts so expensive? I'm guessing that's where a dance degree would be grouped in. I'm picking on dance majors because those degrees are the worst according to 21 most useless degrees and what to study instead -...

    I'd prefer that you substantiate "all those shitty degrees heavily subsidize the extremely expensive STEM programs" before I got into how you'd control this data to draw enough conclusions to make general recommendations on on-campus vs off-campus living. I definitely agree that giving students...

    How much did the instructor (Who I'm guessing was acting as an student advisor/counselor or something?) try to dissuade on-campus living, out of state tuition and extra-curriculars that often inflate student loan debt (either directly or indirectly by encouraging students to take on a maximum...

    Historically there's a whole other thing you have to go through to drop student loans via bankruptcy, called adversary proceeding. https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/bankruptcy I've never looked into this seriously, only to argue on the internet. I only accrued 14k of...

    btw, a couple points of bias I should disclose: As a STEM graduate I think shit-tier degrees and the entire institution around ineffective training are parasites on universities and the more responsibility that's brought to universities the more motivated they will be to expunge that plague.

    I doubt you and I disagree from a high level about how much responsibility an adult should have to caveat emptor for all products they buy, but I think there are some distinct points around student loans that are important differentiators: Minors often get student loans Can a 17-Year-Old Get a...

    Student Loans and the SAVE plan

    Is there any part of this that tries to make the groups that profit from debt partially culpable to forgiven debt? For example, if some 17 year old kid gets signed up to $80,000 debt with a 4 year plan at a University, graduates with a 2.8 GPA in dance, then goes through the SAVE plan, does...

    I've had Bristlebane as my home since 2000 or whatever, so I'm kind of stuck there. If there was a vote to make it have FV(everything tradeable) or Oakwynd (everything heirloom) rules I'd be very tempted to go along with a change. But the advantages to notrade gear are really just the obvious...

    But the key broadcasting is through IS Boxer? I've been seeing people talk about using AHK or hardware KVM to get around the rule against key broadcasting that Blizzard put out in 2020 or something. This is all just me reading about it though, I last played in 2018 apparently, and even then I...

    I hear it's like you say, one key press for one ability and key rebroadcasting is not allowed. But it's the same noise you get every time large numbers of cheaters get banned. People write up sob stories about how they dindu nothing just to create smoke over the whole situation. If I boxed...

    Did you ever get banned from it? I've been reading a bit and yeah, a lot of the community is outright hostile to boxers. I dunno if that's from getting ganked by 5boxing losers in pvp (which is a super lame strat) or what. Coming from EQ where a huge portion of the population boxes it's super...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Leveling in EQ on late-game TLPs or live just isn't fun enough to support a system like FF14's job system where you are encouraged to level multiple characters. On a live or late-game TLP, leveling through the first 50% of the game is boring but fast, leveling from 50% to 90% with powerleveling...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    That's the other things i was wondering. I've leveled maybe 20 characters to level 25 over the years, it still only takes an evening if there's no spawn contention, right? Is there an "endgame" grind for these runes? Can you sweat out some exploit kills of higher level content?

    Factorio

    I wouldn't say there are any must have mods. The game itself is really polished and most things mods bring either bring extra content or alleviate burdens the game developers want you to face. If you're looking for the base game + some extra stuff, Krastorio 2 is good Krastorio 2 If you want...

    Because I paid off my student loans I can righteously state that anyone who takes advantage of this is stealing from me personally. Also I hope this makes it so that my kids aren't burdened with debt and my savings aren't annihilated with overpriced tuition costs.
