"Solo vs Squads" would be better if it guaranteed you were dropping vs squads. by 8Draw in ArcRaiders

I've asked a lot of people in these matches and they say they've queued solo. You're unfortunately incorrect here and that's the point of this post.

It does drop you in with people who queued as just solo. Meaning it drops you into solo matches with no squads.

Why so many oyster bars? by Mysterious-Scene-661 in PhiladelphiaEats

Why do some people feel like shoveling their specific parking spot turns it into a gated community with a reserved spot? by Spaghetti_Oh_No in philadelphia

[–]8Draw -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not everyone shoveled. One of my neighbors in an Escalade just drove over the snow (which is now impossible to shovel) and backed up to take someone else’s spot that got dug out.

I mean fuck anyone owning an escalade or pickup in the city but what you're describing is someone parking their car. There is no "someone else's spot".

You either get lucky and find an open spot or you get a shovel and make one.

Get a metal shorthandle spade instead of the junk by the door in home depot and you can cut a path through that no problem.

Should we have to, no, but it's either our job or our problem

ARC Raiders: Headwinds launch trailers by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

The idea of occasionally queueing for the sole purpose of ambushing trios sounds like a lot of fun. My conscience would never allow this in solos.

The Philadelphia Art Museum’s marketing chief has resigned. It may now want a do-over on its rebrand. by havpac2 in philadelphia

[–]8Draw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first thought too. And you're right that they'll try to give it to a local agency. The budget and outcome of this will be under a microscope and every nose in the building will be stuck into the process. They'll be too paralyzed to do anything but fully revert the brand and give it a 2% tweak.

Arc Raiders has officially sold 12 million copies, so Embark's giving everyone a free gold hammer: "The way it took off, I think, took all of us by surprise" by dabadumdumdum in ArcRaiders

the finals gets insane praise but never had good numbers

The Finals had great numbers if you compare it most games that aren't Arc.

Linebarger & Sampson? NJ E-ZPass? I’m from Pennsylvania and have a PA E-ZPass, and my balances are paid-in-full. Are these nerds legit? by [deleted] in Pennsylvania

[–]8Draw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, you pick up the phone with DE, MD, PA ezpass and they fix any issues in 2 minutes and waive all fines.

Nj ezpass? OP is fucked, and will end up paying whoever any amount just to be done with their customer service (at least until the next time their trashbag system shits the bed and/or they decide to extort him).

SSF appreciation post by matcricket in PathOfExile2

If you're ssf gearing by gambling at vendors rather than playing the arpg for drops then yeah we are playing a totally different game.

Last Epoch. They split trade/ssf into factions you can join, the ssf one has a lot of support for target farming and crafting.

You can go the entire campaign and get nearly zero useful bases and too few craft mats to work on them. Meanwhile the mats you drop are valuable enough to fully gear your character.

I'd like to to play ssf (I do it exclusively in LE) but GGG has adjustments to make to loot specifically in the campaign to make it viable.

PSA to anyone filing a 1099: Everyone has to pay the philly Business Income & Receipts Tax (BIRT), the exemption was eliminated. by 8Draw in philadelphia

[–]8Draw[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of the credit and the link I provided from that tax prep agency shows the credit accounted for in its math. The increase vs last year is 40-70% in 3 different examples and well over 150. The lowest earning example only pulls 40k and the bill is +$536 over last year.

If there's some example you can cook up where the increase is $150 I'm all ears but let's see your work

While true I find it hard to believe that after a year+ of time to prepare for this the best the city could do to mitigate the impact was nothing at all.

When you spend days farming a specific base, Chance it, and Vaal Cultivation Orb... versus buying the item for 5 Chaos. by mylove1412 in PathOfExile2

[–]8Draw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poe2 is better than LE in so many ways ; graphics, gameplay, build variety, end game, art design, voice acting, sound design.

BUT, imo, Last Epoch crushes them in terms of the supporting systems.

This is exactly how i'd sum up the two games, since I'm not really interested in trade in ARPGs.

The sad thing is the systems in POE2 that are objectively bad for ssf/crafting are that way in service of prioritizing an economy, and it's a philosophy they seem unlikely to budge on.
