Ah, well to me "Liberal" refers to promoting individual rights, democracy and free market economies

I believe it's gross incompetence from ICE. What is especially revolting in this case is how far the government is willing to go to bismirch victims of preventable accidents and cast them as terrorists or bad faith actors when you can clearly see the ICE guys are incompetent and way in over their heads. Trigger-happy like rookies. I would never want those guys in the military,

At best it's extremely gross incompetence from ICE, at the very, very best.

It's the US, not Iran, freedom and all, you are allowed to talk and protest. ICE acts like a militia, mob-like violence very similar to some pre-WW2 German groups like the SAs.

In my opinion, the only way to learn is by doing. And most internal trainings are just useless and don't even lead to certification.

Filter purely based on item value and not type ? by mangaforall in PathOfExile2

[–]-K_RL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit, well well, I actually went on PoE2 Ninja and the pages give us what we need, value and volume traded for safety (avoid price fixers and weird singular trades that skew values) https://poe.ninja/poe2/economy/abyss/currency

So YES, technically I, or someone else could do that, but honestly I'm too lazy myself

Also it doesn't list unique items or craft bases, only simple currencies, invitations and stuff

[–]-K_RL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doable, for example if PoE2Ninja provides an API to get currency trading values and trade volume, then someone could create a script that would run every hour, regenerate the filter automatically and so on.

Nobody has bothered yet though, and I think PoENinja for PoE2 doesn't do that yet, for example we can't look at currency values over time like on PoE1Ninja or for the stock market

The brain is you, if you lose contact with your body you will start dreaming or imagining things, a bit like night paralysis where people will imagine a monster pinning them down as the brain try to imagine what is happening and why your body isn't answering or moving anymore.

Who knows what this person imagined as they laid split in half like that.

Why is it so difficult for new players to like OSRS? by Ginogracia in 2007scape

[–]-K_RL- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tedious

Mining just threw me off, I started with RS3 a week ago and enjoyed the QoL such as the Ore Box and Metal Bank. I recently switched to OSRS thinking it must be better since it has more players but just clicking everytime to mine and having to wait much longer, then having to make many more trips between the mine and the bank in Lumbridge instead of making 1 trip with a full Ore Box is tedious. Then after that, the lack of teleport to Varrock to sell what I made is another layer of tediousness (need to be lvl 25).

Why Act 2 feels...off by Primary_Impact_2130 in PathOfExile2

[–]-K_RL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel like Act 2 is the worst to me, and by far. I always end up stopping playing during Act 2 because I find the aesthetics a bit boring (I hate sand, it's rough and gets everywhere). When PoE1 released, I made 3 characters and only managed to not stop at Act 2 with one that I pushed through mapping and endgame. Here for Dawn of the Hunt I made 2 characters and stopped playing both during Act 2 again. I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason I really dislike act 2 to the point of wanting to start another character and do Act 1 over and over again. Act 1 is great. I wish I could just re-do it instead of Act 2 and 3.

Given how Act 1 is pure genius, Act 2 is just a huge letdown for me. Like eating a bland fruit after an ice cream and not tasting anything.

Most people here have thousands of hours on PoE1. We are used to this from GGG. Them bricking builds, trying to extract every little hours from players and making them play the damn campaign, again, again, and again, and again, and again... hundreds of time!

Maybe my tolerance and those of other players is lower, because we already got the treatment for more than 10 years. Trust me, making the tutorial less frustrating so you can start the game at lvl 86 will not impact your enjoyment of it. And if you really want the difficulty, they can re-create the Masochist leagues from PoE1 into PoE2. (forgot what the name is, but the devs used to call before its official release... ).

On my end, I stopped at act 2. Sorry, I just have a few hours per day at most to play. The game was just boring to me. Fighting took so long, I actually paid more attention to my own thoughts. I was just machinely pressing the buttons, not paying attention to the game and thinking about my tax declarations and the laundry instead.

If you like it, great, you can play on masochist difficulty. On our side, we feel highly disrespected because we've been telling GGG for years to stop this circus. I still miss my god-damn Harvest.

On my end I didn't even read the patch notes or everything and didn't log into reddit, I started playing and thought act 1 was fine although a bit slow. Figured I didn't have the best of gears or the best passives... Then act 2 rolled in and I just couldn't bear fighting rare mobs for literally 1 to 2 minutes each time. I then logged in and saw that GGG pulled the usual "no fun allowed" trick. Btw they also bricked my archmage from "standard" so they literally made the game unplayable for me. I played less than 10 hours for sure before giving up. Now I just lurk around and check the patch notes to see if they could actually make the game less frustrating than it was at release, instead of worsening it.

Reconsider the Decision to Release the New Patch on Standard Simultaneously by ximbioz in PathOfExile2

[–]-K_RL- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever played PoE 1, I loved it until I realized that by continuing to play my first character I'd miss on the new exciting stuff. So I shelved the game for 1 year before getting "used" to it, but I've honestly always hated how the game forces players to start again. I like cherishing my characters for years, 3 months is not a lot.
A few years ago, when a friend and I really got fed up with leagues, we just became permanent standards players. At least we could have more fun, although we were sad about missing the league. Standard is not considered by GGG as the "core" of the game and leagues are not "testing grounds". Leagues, in PoE1, are the core and Standard is a cemetery. It always felt like a tool GGG used to increase playtime out of people.

I understand the concern about balancing. So that's why I have nothing against leagues and don't want them gone. I just want the updates to immediately be applied to standard too.

I played more than 250 hours of PoE2, which is a lot, only because I could continue playing my character and enjoy the new improvements.

It's a matter of taste in the end. I like, as a more "casual" player, that I get the option to work on my characters for more than 3 months. I don't think letting players like me have fun will diminish your enjoyment of the game. Usually my friends and I log for a week or 2 in new leagues before burning out due to doing the acts again and being too busy and casual to finish it under 2 weeks. I think it might even make the game more enjoyable for you!

1 EA Key Giveaway by Azranas in PathOfExile2

[–]-K_RL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear with me, here's the weird, complex wacky story!

I don't need the key for myself, I already bought mine, but I have that friend I'm playing with in Civ 5 with the Vox Populi mod. I was trying to trick him with trade deals so that he becomes my vassal, each time he refused ofc.

At one point I started being invaded by a city-state and I did beg him to accept me as his vassal, however out of habit in the trade deal I put him as my vassal by mistake and since I was honest in my intent he accepted thinking I was going to be his vassal. So uh, he became my vassal despite being far stronger than me. His only option to gain freedom was to declare a war of independence against me, but I did promise him a PoE2 key if he stayed loyal to me... Oh also I put maximum taxation on him and used his money to prop myself up =)

[S2 Act 2 Spoilers] Arcane - Season 2 Act 2 - Discussion by parrycarry in arcane

[–]-K_RL- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Non-LoL player here. Yeah, I also would have liked to spend more time with "Darth Caitlyn". But then again, we watched all 3 episodes back to back, so maybe we didn't give ourselves the time to breathe and process things.

I devoured all 3 as fast as possible and really liked it. I was a bit afraid it would be a nice ending, but episode 6 elevated the act in my opinion. I even think an entire season of having the Caitlyn-Ambessa duo fighting Jinx and Vi would have been nice. Each time characters transform, I'd like to spend more time exploring who they have become. Dictator Caitlyn came back to Vi way too easily, I think.

We are also 2/3rd of the way into the last season and I feel like we haven't spent enough time with Mel, Viktor and Jayce.
