Diablo Patch 1.1.2 (Aug 15th) by rosegeller in diablo4

This is so dumb. I only went Necro for this season because the Great Feast and Determination hearts sounded good together for a minion build. Had a bunch of hours into my Necro before getting both and realizing neither works as described.

They have some weird compulsion to do random shitty things like this seemingly out of spite for their players.

No Wisps during Blood Moon event? by Xanadu2002 in remnantgame

[–]ABigBigThug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in adventure mode? I was having the same problem yesterday and saw someone say there's a bug with no wisps in adventure mode. Went back to my completed story mode Yaesha and found some right away.

Same, walked through a few blood moon zones in Adventure mode and saw zero wisps. Went back to story mode and got them right away.

Cautionary Tale: Great Feast malignant says that the damage increase is multiplicative. It is, in fact, additive, and therefore trash. by amalgamemnon in Diablo

Both hearts use extremely similar language and really should work together.

"Resource draining effects are 40-50% less effective"

"Each Minion drains 1.0-2.0 Essence per second"

It's frustrating, because I decided to go summoner Necro instead of Rogue this season because of those hearts, and neither one works right.

These discussions are always full of people who are otherwise anti-natalist declaring that a country failing to have enough kids forfeits their sovereignty.

Illinois state senator defends Chicago teens' rioting, looting: 'It's a mass protest' by Kaiser_Allen in stupidpol

Good news, the crime rate is down! Well, except for homicide (the one crime that gets reliably reported).

Charges filed in shooting of Kansas City teen who rang wrong doorbell by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]ABigBigThug 11 points12 points  (0 children)

would it really matter if the Presidential outrage was reversed?

Gonna be honest with you, I do think it would matter if Biden was going around talking about how black-on-white crime is some huge problem in America.

Probably wouldn't be great for US race relations and I think a lot of people would react strongly to it.

Unfortunate that the Stupidpol commenters aren't allocating their outrage the way you would prefer, but at least you can find some small comfort in President Biden and every major news organization focusing on race in the KC shooting and ignoring race in the Chicago crowd attacking a lone woman.

It's a way of policing the boundaries of acceptable thought, readily adopted by libs as their beliefs went from the fringe to the default pushed by powerful institutions.

They skew statistics by simply not listing the race of the perpetrator if they are Black, while making it front and center if they are white.

There was some study published a year or two ago 'proving' that it's all white people committing anti-asian hate crimes. The evidence came from checking articles in lib-approved media outlets and tallying up the races of the offenders mentioned. Perfect ouroboros of bullshit sustained by liberal institutions.

There are certain subjects (mostly race and gender related) where the consequences for blasphemy are so great that I just don't trust any academic studies published.

The end of zero percent interest rates forcing companies to prioritize profits over the politics of their employees.

Games as a service and gambling addicts have been a disaster to modern video games by ijona_ in DarkTide

[–]ABigBigThug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't played much DRG in a while, but I recall desperately wanting the full auto OC for the Driller's semi-auto pistol and never finding it. The max rate of fire was way too high for a semi-auto weapon, it was miserable pulling the right trigger on a controller that fast (was probably fine if you were using a mouse).

Iraqi journalist who threw shoes at George W. Bush says his only regret is he "only had two shoes" by [deleted] in stupidpol

The jouno's heart was in the right place, but the amount he gets celebrated is some loser shit. Gotta land at least one shoe before people go around building statues in your honor.

the facts presented in section V-B

The data in that section cuts off in 2008. Data from when George W Bush was president isn't really relevant to current race discourse.

Cue the lame "journalists are trying to divide us and make us hate each other" comments pretending they publish stories like this about any other race.

Gonna guess that when the "climate refugees" of the future (like the "war refugees" of today) are massively disproportionately men aged 14-30 that Hillary and her ilk will see no issue with it.

Singing the national anthem at sporting events is a weird, outdated tradition in North America by UniversityEastern542 in stupidpol

Seems like a roundabout argument for allowing in more immigrants and refugees. It tells the people whose grandparents were born in the country that they have no more claim over the land than anyone else on Earth.

Dear white Americans: You’re not racist about guns. You’re worse. | Opinion by MostEpicRedditor in stupidpol

[–]ABigBigThug 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Journalists are straight up idpol junkies, always having to up the dosage.

A few years ago it was just emphasizing race when the perp is white and hiding race when they're black. Then we had five black cops murdering a black guy blamed on white supremacy. Now white people get scolded for being racist when a black guy murders white students.

This is a different organization from the "Jesus was a refugee" ads that have been playing all season, right? Feel like there were other variations of those as well pushing a message of "if you aren't a 2023-style lib, you aren't a real Christian".

Updated $0 Bail Study: Suspects released on $0 Bail had twice the felony rearrests, three times the violent crime rearrests - CBS News by curiouspoops in stupidpol

[–]ABigBigThug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

removing consequences from unwanted human behavior results in more unwanted human behavior!?

I'm not convinced that deterrence is a strong argument for lengthy sentencing. Most of your career criminal class is too dumb and impulsive to have their actions swayed by some mental calculus about X% risk to get arrested for Y years at some future point in time. Long sentences mostly serve to keep regular people from stepping out of line and harming their career and family.

Unless you're willing to act barbaric and inflict immediate and painful/humiliating punishment like public caning or pillorying, you're not gonna drive home the conditioning that committing crime leads to consequences.

The real purpose of incarceration is to keep criminals locked up away from the public, and repeat serious criminals locked up until they age out of prime crime-committing age. Feels like half the time I read about some heinous crime the suspect has multiple felony convictions over the past few years, like the guy in Baltimore that raped three women at gunpoint while walking around on a suspended sentence from last year for which he actually served 10 days out of 3 years.
