    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Low effort podcasts. Been doing some house projects with the wife and it seems her bar for "background noise" is far lower than mine. She suggested a podcast on some of the seedier stuff Edison did. I thought that could be interesting, so I agreed to listen to it while we sanded and painted...

    There already is a block reduction support gem. They failed in making non-damage support gems competitive. They probably need to do away with dps gems altogether and only have support gems modify how a skill behaves.

    Big P is using his house to compensate for being a midget on a dating site. Realtors are unappreciative of his duplicity.

    What is there to discuss? Actual game is solved, so these launch pitfalls are the only new content.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I'm more than happy to discuss ACTUAL D2 resurrected(i.e. PoE) in the D2:R thread, but I want to be clear that it was a joke comment. Perhaps I should have bolded the strikethrough as well?

    The problems with tab have nothing to do with Python, which shows how little you understand about the issue in which you rage against.

    PoE league launches have been smooth recently. So long as they don't forget to migrate characters from the previous league. And don't push untested database pagination changes 24 hours before the league start. For the same league.

    Is it time for Aldarion to once again stubbornly conflate poor implementation of <insert technology here> with any and all implementations? Perhaps we could rehash python and nano too.

    I'm thinking that a 20+ year old game that's only getting a cosmetic facelift has already been solved.

    Careful now, what game do you enjoy playing currently? I'm sure you can see where this is going. And to head you off, Ion leaving won't save WoW. I'm not sure anything will.

    Oh yeah, achievement tax for 36 was 10-20ex, most of that being Cortex and Heart of The Grove. Is that worse than 100% AoE Feared? I'm not sure... Grats on 36 and especially doing a lot of first-time content. Spectres have been down lately, so I guess it's good they're still viable.

    Finished up with the league, got my 36. Thought I would be done early, but when I checked the league start date(July 23rd), I was close to my typical 2 months again. Not a good 2 months though, this time. Lots of frustration, being given puzzles and shitty pieces. Curses, ailments(to a...

    I've tried block builds and dodge/evasion builds. I'll take "let's you move while DPSing" builds over those any day. Block/evasion/dodge will fail, and it will feel like shit because it means you can't progress your character's level anymore while doing whatever else you were doing. They can...

    I was wrong about SST. But so were most other people. It's getting deserved meta status for numbers alone, on a defensive-oriented Raider, you still pump out very good single target DPS on a budget setup. More than once, I've griped about the clear of the skill. It's inconsistent, based on...

    Fuck no, you have no way to pay the rage costs if it is your only DPS skill. Max block sure. Bleed, I don't see how that could work. The skill is heavily focused on attack speed.

    Rage Vortex might be a skill, some day. It's like Lancing Steel: absolute bonkers dps kneecapped by shitty QoL. In fact, it's actually better than Lancing Steel, that skill requires to stand and deliver your dps. Rage Vortex lets you just fuck around and dodge, creating a new one every ~4s...

    The difference is focused ballista support. The totems no longer need a target in order to spawn clones, allowing you to spawn them before a fight and/or while a boss in monologuing.

    What's the cost in time investment? For example, I've been considering paying someone to mow my 1.75 acres because I want the time back and I'm tired of maintaining a mower that likes to break.

    Toss this on the "nerfed next league" pile. It doesn't look terribly interesting in terms of playstyle or build planning. But if you're looking to literally delete some endgame bosses on the cheap, this is probably the best build out there. Best of all, it's quite modular, so you can fit it...

    I am talking about Xexx. Were I a three dimensional solid of alcohol, I might make a joke about Mist trying to make everything about himself, but alas, I am not that. Trying to get by on a 1060TI makes me wonder if instead of trying to buy from latest generation, just buy whatever costs $XXX...

    Give me 1s CD, 3-charge Dash back though. That shit was worth 159 dex on a build that needed 50. I don't know why GGG is ok with their wide array of movement skills boiling down to "least gay". Just like mana, the pieces you're given to solve the "puzzle" all suck.

    Gotta know when you can and can't using the skill before actually pressing it. Shield Charge has significantly more places where it can get stuck than Whirling Blades. Or, at least, that's my memory of the skills and I've tried both this league. Whirling Blades is unusable in vaal maps...

    Path of Exile

    Unless they revert some changes, probably not going to play any builds that rely on Dash or Flame Dash outside of a starter. Attack-based movement skills are much faster and on demand, they easily make up for superior clear speed skills like Exsanguinate because they can go pack to pack faster...

    If they can recapture what made the first one special, I'm not sure I care how much blatant recycling and reusing they do. That said, The Matrix being special is likely specific to its release date.
