    Me too, that's why was asking. I actually found that VSCode's remote extension supports WSL very similarly to how it does ssh, so I'm using that. Got my snappy ctrl e and ctrl shift f back.

    Which is worse? VSCode running natively in WSL but displaying on Windows via X11. VSCode running natively on Windows but accessing a sandbox in WSL via network mount.

    Good luck. Refactoring seems on the more reasonable side of measuring someone's aptitude than the typical tests. To some degree, it's why I'm complacent in my job and fear having to look for a new one. I did a path eliding question in perl, didn't finish, yet somehow got hired...

    Worse than GoT? Netflix has to be a money laundering service. The entertainment is a hustle. Or maybe they're part of the nvidia circle jerk, they need datacenters too, right?

    Post your character. Leveling will do little regarding character power. You likely need to buy some gear or craft.

    This can be understandably demotivating. If you played 3.23, you'd know to farm parts of the economy the temple can't touch. As you're coming out of the campaign, that's not much. Got any low level uncut spirit gems? They usually sell for quite a bit.

    Learning to aim your sprints and dodge rolls is the true endgame to PoE2. Run the Dreadnaught end to end without getting stuck on the terrain. The irony is that this ends up closer to PoE1 movement skills.

    At this point, I'm looking for any build that can improve upon character mobility. This whirling assault build has screen wide coverage and stun, only tanky Abyss rares survive the stun. I guess that means Pathfinder?

    Been trying a bunch of stuff through the campaign. Whirling Assault(cookie cutter Titan with Surround hat and Brass Dome) has felt the least shitty so far. If you feel so motivated, you can interrupt it with a dodge roll so that you aren't locked into all 7 attacks, which I actually like...

    Not sure why I thought ETFs were devoid of expense ratios. Guess I thought that was their primary purpose. Thanks for the answers.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Since we're on a retirement tangent....if you have an IRA account full of VTSAX, is it worth converting that to ETFs? I'm trying to max out my IRA contribution limit and 401k contribution limit but I'm new to ETFs. Any reason not to use them and avoid the 0.04% expense ratio on VTSAX?

    Runes were supposed to replace the crafting bench. They were (too?) common in 0.2. Too rare in 0.3. Still too rare in 0.4, I'm not even sure they adjusted the drop rate. Some lesser runes still go for multiple exalts at this point. Mind bottling.

    You have no proof they intend to do that. I have a year of proof that they don't seem to want to address the issue. I'm not going to pretend it's an easy problem to solve, but they aren't even giving it lip service.

    PoE1 emphasizes your weapon as an attack build to a degree. And your ability to meet that demand while leveling through drops, barebones crafting, and the bench is somewhat achievable. The passive tree is putting in a lot of work too. I still prefer to league start something that doesn't...

    How do people handle hitting keyboard bound skills and flasks with wasd? I'm trying freezy boi with mouse finding it better since melee benefits less from wasd anyway.

    Right, but I meant down to even the coverage area, it seems quite similar. What's really noteworthy is how much he's glazing it. PoE2 is entering battered wife territory.

    This patch is so good, I'm going to bed at a responsible time. I got my fill of Poison PF. Even with gear from the AH, I was nodding off. Will probably try Wolf Druid, it does look fun, but also worried about too many buttons. Their need to balance campaign boss fights around a tight power...

    @ronne thoughts on Replica Wings of Entropy vs Paradoxica for an Elemental Hit weapon? I think it has higher dps potential, but originally wrote it off as RWoE excludes the shield slot. But what do most people do with the shield in the endgame? Svallin. I wonder if at the very least a league...

    PoE1 is the best arpg if you're willing to put in the time and learn the systems. I don't care much for PoE2. It has some appealing aspects that nowhere near make up for the years of self sabotage GGG has inflicted on the better game.

    Faggotry that we'll have to bail out once the bubble pops. Hardware prices that will never recover and somewhere in the middle will just become the new norm. No jail time for people that deserve it. Pick 3.

    Yes, guardrails. I said the Bear and Wolf are very much on rails. I think we're fundamentally in agreement. However, I see rails as a negative and it results in shallow game with little longevity squabbling over resources from its better. You seem to think it a positive that saves devs time...
