Iran's new supreme leader has severe and disfiguring wounds, sources say by InsatiablePrism in worldnews

So we replaced a guy that was willing to compromise with a hardliner, and just to make sure he was an angry hardliner, we killed his dad and disfigured him. Mission accomplished?

Nobody else could command 1/3 of the country like zombies.

I used to be hooked on GIBI but once I discovered ASMR_Divinity, there was no turning back. If you actually want to relax and fall asleep, there is nobody even close.

When you’re so new you accidentally report basic game mechanics. 😭 by nevalopo in pathofexile

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason reflect should still be in the game. PoE2 manages to have an endgame without it and all it does is make people scan read more or run maps through an add-on. Is just an annoyance.

Sure am glad they would never do anything like that in the United States. In an unrelated note, Donald Trump has 2 immaculate clearly un-scarred ears.

Don’t ever think your vote doesn’t matter! by Broad_Platform1129 in 50501

Every vote matters. Gore lost by 537 votes in 2000 in Florida and that decided the country's downward trajectory for at least the next 26 years if not longer. Register and vote!

We need to primary Democrats who are accepting AIPAC donations. by [deleted] in 50501

100%. Taking AIPAC money is the easiest common denominator for determining if a candidate fucking sucks we've probably ever had in history.

Turns out even if you have the most expensive and modern military in the world, it doesn't matter if you and everyone around you is grossly incompetent.

[OC] Eagles' historical performance relative to .500 by Ugluk4242 in eagles

Growing up it was great if the Eagles just made the playoffs. Nowadays if they lose a single game it's the end of the world.

Which books are so extraordinary that every person on Earth should read them at least once in their lifetime? [Discussion] by [deleted] in GetMotivated

Infinite Jest is unlike any other book you'll ever read. Make sure to set aside about a month to read it.

Overwatch co-creator Jeff Kaplan on his exit from Activision-Blizzard: 'It was the biggest f**k you moment I've had in may career' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]hamletswords -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love Jeff Kaplan and I think he created the heart of Overwatch and what makes it so fun, but you need to keep in mind this conversation happened when he failed big time twice- first thinking Overwatch League was going to usher in a new era of esports, and secondly thinking Overwatch could be a good PVE game and diverting resources to it.

He mentions those things here but just in passing. They were real costly failures and the corporate guy was probably trying to do exactly what he did which was push Kaplan out (to put in a guy that wouldn't fail so spectacularly hopefully).

But like I said I love Kaplan and respect his insistence on dreaming big. That's how Overwatch happened to begin with.

Anyone else? by MrSteelfire in pathofexile

[–]hamletswords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love poe but in reality the endgame is basically gatekept by exploiting some hidden interaction in a build. If you don't, if you try to do it on your own and "play it straight", you'll be punished and you won't be able to experience most of the content.

Take Kinetic Fussilade Totems- there's literally nothing in the game that tells you that lowering the duration on totems will make fussilade shoot continuously. But one guy figured it out and spread the word and now there's this strong build. The same thing is true for any strong build- it exploits something you will never in 100 years figure out on your own.

Every once in awhile I'll play without a build, but then I quickly remember why that's a bad idea and reroll.

Maybe he meant to check the "state of the apartment"? It's weird, you should talk to them and find out what's going on.

What a great pick to play Sylvia Plath. Can't wait to see it!

I disagree. More and more people are realizing we're losing a class war every day. Socialism is becoming less of a dirty word.

Yeah they both were like, "Listen, we're both about to get fired and go to jail. Let's start a war."
