That scene, and that dialogue is absolutely terrible. It's not foreshadowing, it's ridiculous. It's like taking the Twilight Zone glasses breaking theme and misunderstanding the entire premise, while having someone who is a terrible actor try to make it mean something. And the worst part of...

It's the league of Eldritch Battery @ronne !!! I'm not sure I fully understand the mana management nerfs

Right but for higher Atlas point investment. It's actually higher investment now and has a greater opportunity cost.

You're not my opposite. That change was the entire point for pretty much every mechanic on the Atlas. My point was "When everything is affected by that change for the better, why single out a mechanic that was already available for ultra low investment?" I just found it odd to talk about packed...

Yea I guess that really is just true about everything at a grocery store today. They used to be cheap, especially if you had a restaurant nearby that served them.

This is the general changes page on the PD2 wiki. You can peruse the rest of the wiki to find the full list https://wiki.projectdiablo2.com/wiki/General_Changes Big changes: Upscaled shaders and increased FPS + Resolution support. It's not D2R graphics but it's much better than old graphics...

Question about the "masters" while on the subject, didn't see this mentioned in the notes, may have missed it. With the removal of the missions is it now possible to get 2 (or more) masters in the same map?

This is true for almost every league mechanic on the Atlas. You're not making the point you think you are. Anyway yes, Packed with Energy is great and combining it with the Azurite chance node was pretty decent passive income on top.

You should get over your fear of new things and try some Asian dumplings. They're usually cheap too so perfect theme for this thread!

Listen, that node specifically is weird to call out as some kind of major change when many, many other Atlas and scarab changes are far more consequential, and vastly different than current. "Tism" my tookus boys!!

No it's not, there was both a sextant that guaranteed him AND a scarab. Plus master missions

Challenge accepted. So here's the real scoop. Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen got tired of absolutely dominating every skateboarding competition they ever entered. But they kept practicing, and practicing, and practicing, until Rodney pulled off a one foot Casper into a Fakie Darkslide at the same...

From my cursory research that fund was created Feb 7 2023. During that same time frame the S&P returns are 28.8%. So, in fact, beating the S&P. 1 year is not a great barometer when comparing to something as tried and true as the S&P

Server hop farming? So it's 2012 world of warcraft? Oh shit, Nirgon is shilling for a WoW clone

Fuck... Dragon and Phoenix, Sesame Chicken, Orange Chicken, hot and sour soup? Egg drop soup? Pepper steak? What the fuck kinda Chinese restaurant doesn't have these things?

I'm trying to imagine where you live because chinese menus everywhere I've been in the US are the same as they are here in Connecticut. Like it's just one big franchise. And they all have like 80 things on the menu. And dumplings and wontons (fried dumplings) are heavily featured An American...

Nothing new. It's in their interest to do that. It means they can slightly refurbish all their other build guides while making new "this is dead" youtube videos for views... aka actual money. The bigger the content creator the more full of shit they are

Well, that Atlas node isn't new. Packed with Energy has been around for a while in that form for like 2 points for a long time. https://poedb.tw/us/Packed_with_Energy I've been using it since at least Sanctum

Okay, but you have to understand how weird that is. Never saw them on a cooking show or in a movie? Never saw them on a Chinese menu? In 1950 I would expect that to be true. In 2007 though? That's kinda wild man. Especially since, presumably, these Asian guildmates of yours were explaining them...

Diablo 2 lives on and is still amazing with Project Diablo 2. Season 9 starts April 12th. Tons of QoL and end game features. Basically D2 if it had never stopped being developed by people who actually like video games

Do you live in Antarctica? And how was that the best recipe you could find on the internet? The pioneer woman sure does know how to make Asian style dumplings... Whatever you want to call them almost every culture has "dumplings". Filling in small pockets of dough. Ravioli is a dumpling...

Looking at Netflix it isn't even #1 in shows. Some low rent true crime documentary about NYC homicide detectives is beating it

So I read your Spoiler @Slaanesh69 because I don't really care at this point about being spoiled. A lot of those elements are in the show but they kind of fall flat because of how they are presented. There is no "hook". Stuff happens because it needs to happen to advance the story. Some of the...

That might be the case but the first season isn't illustrating that very well. Auggie is one of the worst type of characters imaginable. But from tidbits shared here by book readers it does sound like maybe D&D strike again. Even when the source material is complete they are hacks. I finished...

Some goddamn Tekken combos in Solo Leveling this week

Some thoughts on this. This style of movie was wildly popular in the 80s and first half of the 90s. The "dark" comedy that really was playfully dark instead of tragically dark and was much more comedy. This isn't a remake or reboot, it's a sequel with a lot of the original cast unlike...

I think Keaton can turn it into a B+ all on his own.

Oh nice, they finally implemented Indoor Stair-y Area

Looked up info on the books because I knew nothing about them but now that I know they were written by a Chinese author the lazy, silly story makes more sense. Every piece of media I've ever seen/read from China was MacGuffin central. And this doesn't feel any different. Also, now that I know...

The premise of this show... overarching premise, is kind of stupid.

I was speaking more in the general sense of Fort stacking possibilities.

Don't forget replica badge for frenzy + endurance stacking with more max fort on top

Hrmmm, 1000 corruption does not seem like a high bar. Not sure I agree with their sentiment.

I think you may have to be a certain amount of crazy to eat the same thing for lunch every day for 45 years

The weird "messenger" chick that looks like The Faceless Man annoys me. Don't know if it's the character, or the acting, or the fact that she looks like a man from GoT, but she annoys me.

Grand Design? Is that still there and unchanged?

Heavy exposition and physics is literal magic to most people even today. Theoretical physics is so far beyond magic it actually seems dumb. The scene with the nanofibers cutting a synthetic diamond will not hit, at all, with the large majority of viewers. It will seem like cutting through...

I think it makes sense that David Lynch doesn't have taste buds and all his olfactory senses exist in some fucked up part of his brain.

There's definitely some kind of psychedelic euphoria going on with Americans at large. Mist isn't wrong that most people seem to be fine with spending while also creating large sums of debt, all while "feeling good" about it. And spending it on frivolous things. Before Covid a lot of the...

Oh yea? Costs ~5.12/lb for a rib roast for you? K. Rib roasts are $14/lb at bottom tier Walmarts around here. You're either living next to a Cattle Ranch and know the owner, or you're full of it. But nah, none of us have ever thought of magically getting Prime Rib for 1/4th the normal price as...
