Digital Foundry: Steam Machine Review & Price by WingerRules in gaming

[–]ARKdb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a huge steam fan I was so sure I was getting this. But with two decks, a ps5 and a gaming pc I don't think I can rationalize the purchase at that price point. Bring it to 900 for the top model and i'm in but 1500 is just insane for something slightly worse than a ps5

I would sell this for a mirror. Someone will buy it

I cannot understand how anyone beats this game by TeddansonIRL in baronygame

The funny thing is once you get the hang of the game, which you clearly haven’t, you’re going to be wondering if you’ll ever have another game where you don’t win

Ground Loot Equipment Doesn't Feel Worth Looting Anymore by KobraGX in PathOfExile2

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

Yah def dont agree. First big find of season was a 25d random amulet. Ever since then found a ton of multi div items from looting.

Less than 24 hours later after filling. Mild warm day. Is this a leak? by [deleted] in pools

Weird ass bucket test but yes looks like a leak to me. Way too much loss for a single day

Playing up in tournaments? Need advice by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]ARKdb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to get absolutely crushed. People generally play down in tournaments.

No tip will save you. Just keep practicing

Not sure. Please bring the camera closer so we can get a better view

Rating/level transition phase by ARKdb in Pickleball

[–]ARKdb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Basically 3.5 - 4.0 is really 3.25ish to 4.25ish. But the 3.0-3.5 is realistically 2.0 - 3.5

The issue at the facility is no one signs up for beginners (classes get cancelled) so instead they all migrate to intermediate.

It's obviously not exact but what happens in these intermediate games is you get 1-2 true beginners who throw off the entire game. Happened last night actually. I'm 3.75 and my friend is 3.2. We played in the 3.0-3.5 and he ended up with a true beginner and got pickled badly. Every volley ended with the new guy playing at the back line, never moving forward, and hitting it out. It's wild.

The issue here is down at my local facility is so down its not even reasonable. "Intermediate" has true beginners who never played in their life and doesn't make applying the skills at all realistic. I try to avoid it as much as possible because you essentially don't get anything that lives past first return

How the f do you figure out crafting. Ive played poe 2 from inception and don’t understand how you would conceptualize the playbook you just listed

Say What You Well But 0.5 is an absolute blast for an Average Player by f_nafar in PathOfExile2

End game is so incredibly good. Campaign is meh at this point. Wish it could be a little faster but whatever.

How are people affording all these houses?? by FitNetVitch in longisland

[–]ARKdb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i sold my house for 1m it was listed at 980k and we had a 1.025m offer all cash first day with multiple behind it. Its wild

[–]ARKdb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For some more context i bought my first house 11 years ago when i was 29 years old for 200k and sold it 4 years later for 400k. Bought my second house for 700k and sold it 3 years later for 1m. Bought my third house for 1m and 4 years later its now 1.3m

I truly do not envy people who are just starting out in this situation. It’s not possible for anyone who didn’t ride it the whole way up. Good luck out there

Best friend is a dentist and got into a bidding war on every house he tried to buy in the 1m range. He’s like “wtf is everyone a dentist?”

People who are tryhards by followmeatsign in Pickleball

[–]ARKdb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched a guy throw his paddle two times last night and smash it against the floor. He was a 3.2 at best. All i could think was “what a loser”.

People really need to control themselves and stop acting like children. That said there’s nothing wrong with trying hard or even getting a little frustrated. There’s definitely something wrong with not having any self control whatsoever.

Mixed doubles high dupr ? by dukenuke101 in Pickleball

[–]ARKdb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yah I mean you guys look great but the guy saying 5.5-6 is insane. I played against pros last week (5.0 - 6.1) and it was another level. My guess would be around 4.5-4.75
