    You absolutely can discriminate based on name. You just keep it to your fucking self and come up with some other, plausible reason to deny it.

    Yes, insane, maniacal, not normal. Who actually would do that? Do you know anyone, at all, anywhere that would actually do that? It's crazy.

    You guys are seriously suggesting that this person is a typical BTC story? You're suggesting his behavior and his actual, legitimate HODL philosophy is a story you can find all over the world? Tons of people like him that started buying BTC incredibly early (as in immediately) never, ever sold...

    Yes, it's definitely not out of the ordinary for someone to just throw money at a brand new unknown entity and continue to just let it sit there at 10x or 20x or 50x+ (and way more now) without ever selling. That's definitely something people do all the time. Hahahaha.

    I met a Bitcoin true believer this weekend. I like to golf, it's one of the few things I spend money excessively on. Actually it's the only thing. There is a private golf club association called The Fliers Club which essentially allows like minded golfers who are members at private country clubs...

    I would be surprised if GLP-1s were widespread enough to dent traffic to McD's. If they ever get regulated down to "normies can afford this" pricing things will probably get weird with food chains and even alcohol sales most likely (lots of reported reduction in alcohol consumption and cravings...

    Path of Exile

    Creating a spiritual successor to Diablo II, a game which had hard caps and breakpoints on almost everything (cast rate, hit recovery, block rate, etc) and removing all of those caps is a real 500iq way of creating slow, methodical gameplay. Gonna have to press X to doubt that Chris wanted PoE1...

    Keep in mind they are all hybrid affixes as well, which lets you stack a fair amount more on things like armor, or ward decay threshold stacking. Pretty much all of them are useful in some fashion: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/experimental-affixes

    Ward per missing health, Haste and Frenzy are all very useful Armor applies to DoTs is extremely useful Minion teleport is nice for minion builds Mana gain on potion use has some niche uses Lots of them are useful but not necessarily something you'd try to build around. Armor applying to...

    Experimental affixes cannot exist as affix shards, they are only available on experimental items dropped by imprisoned mages.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Operations is one of those "jobs" that is relatively new and only exists out of necessity due to regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley forcing companies to remove developer access to production environments. Developers find operations staff "annoying" because they mostly don't understand software or...

    I would say "I'd never work for a company that had developers on call!" but realistically every company I ever worked for had an unspoken on call policy to varying degrees.

    The only way to solve what you are describing is to turn the game into a loot desert. Inevitably, anything you *don't want* becomes something you don't want to see. It doesn't matter if it's 10 items or 100 items.

    LE filters take maybe 10 minutes to set up and hone. They are insanely easy to tweak and dial in. I'm surprised to hear you, in particular, say you don't like setting it up. Its exactly what I'd expect you to like. Its by far the best loot filter in any ARPG by a mile.

    I find it hard to believe you never played: Zelda Chrono Trigger Castlevania Star Ocean Xenogears Suikoden etc, etc, etc. JRPGs were one of the biggest and most acclaimed, most saturated genres in console gaming until the mid-late 2000s. Most of us would have been console gamers before...

    I feel like these robotaxi fleets are basically the next iPod. Everyone had one for a hot minute and then mostly obsolete thanks to the iPhone the next minute. They'll be cool and exciting and new (if people even trust them enough to use them) and then IF people do actually trust them enough to...

    The Last of Us

    Seems he wasn't really paying attention to the actually quite good story in TLoU1 if he's asking stupid questions like "What the fuck even is smuggling in the kind of world the audience is presented?" The entire first act in the game explains this pretty clearly.
  31. Khane

    The Last of Us

    This is a weird conversation. The entirety of the *real-time* story of TLoU was Joel's redemption arc. He was not a good guy before he meets Ellie. He's a fairly ruthless smuggler and Ellie is something he was originally "hired" to smuggle.

    They need to just stop confusing people with the fake offline mode in that normal launcher. Its very stupid that actual offline mode is "full offline" in the steam settings. I dont get how that isn't fixed yet. It's a holdover from them screwing up the offline mode at launch and having to throw...

    Eye of Round is not particularly good and Chuck is not going to carve. Its going to fall apart/shred like you specifically asked about. Just FYI. The only way to get Chuck roast to carve like a prime rib is to sous vide it for like 36+ hours. It will actually cut and taste very similar to...

    I think it has meaningful layers of stat progression and knowing which slots get better versions (or hybrid versions of 2 stats other slots don't get) and min/maxing that is interesting. Knowing which slots have high value t1 affixes for sealing and such, etc. For instance knowing what Blind...

    Simple but satisfying progression where you can actually make your own build or setup without bricking your whole experience that has good, short term charm. I think most people can get a good 2 weeks out of LE and feel satisfied with it. I think most people would expect only getting 2 weeks...
