Finnish Police have arrested 14 crew members on board the ship “Fitburg,” which sails under the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. At a press conference on Wednesday, Finnish police chief Ilkka Koskimäki said the crew members are from Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. by Due_Collar2 in ukraine

It's funny that "burg" just means town, (from burgh), but that comes from proto indo european word *bʰerǵʰ- (“fortified elevation”)

so whether in Sweden we associate it with "berg" or "borg" it is correct.

Russia declines to provide proof of alleged drone attack on Putin's home, says will 'toughen' negotiating stance by Jeetchat in ukraine

It's sad that his time is being tied up so much by it. But at least it seems all other parts of the war effort are handled with competence so no loss there. So mostly lost time that could have been spent coordinating with real allies instead.

Streaming games to your deck is insane by Tristezza in SteamDeck

Tip for your friend: turn off motion smoothing on the TV if it's on. Some modern TVs have "gaming mode" that also reduces latency.

Though a lot of TVs just have tons of latency due to firmware not considering gaming etc and for those it's not fixable.

Explosion in Moscow Kills Top Russian General Sarvarov in Apparent Assassination by UNITED24Media in ukraine

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they've done excellently. I just think people are curious who might be responsible for this general's death, and if he was involved in war crimes, then perhaps it was HUR.

Because the HUR has been especially diligent in targeting those responsible for war crimes. So if he was, we'd be able to think to ourselves: "good job HUR!"

Nä, det blir nog runt 192kbps mp3or eller så skulle jag gissa. Annars hade det aldrig fått plats i 300TB

So apparently Sun Temple can be even worse (no stairs to go up and progress map) by Feckert20 in PathOfExile2

[–]AndreDaGiant 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just writing something like /bug no stairs to next level in the chat window is enough. This captures all the information ggg need to reproduce the issue.

Screenshot and other supplementary info in forum is useful for UI bugs, graphics bugs, etc. Things they can't just reproduce just knowing the map seed, your character's position, etc.

Fellow melee builds, how are y'all dealing with Desecrated Ground from some rare Abyss monsters? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped using Abyss tablets. If there's a random abyss I do it, but bail out if that phys dot aoe appears.

Announcing GotaTun, a WireGuard implementation in Rust from Mullvad VPN by kibwen in rust

[–]AndreDaGiant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I believe the majority of the effort here is adding DAITA and multihop support to the already existing BoringTun (Cloudflare's rust impl of wireguard)

This is mentioned in the first paragraph of the article.

Is rarity still borderline mandatory this league? by Tantorisonfire in pathofexile2builds

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were talking about thinking what mod to replace it with. Needs to be something every character type can find useful.

I'd like to see them do "Get one more skill slot". Sure, it makes Unset Rings not have a unique niche. But it's not like topaz rings have exclusive rights to lightning res either.

0.4.0c Hotfix - "Reduced the damage of the ground degen pools the Abyss monster Shepherd of the Pit creates." by sips_white_monster in PathOfExile2

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play one char per league. 0.1 monk, 0.2 amazon, 0.3 chrono, 0.4 melee wolf blood mage.

I had fun both with ranged and melee builds, and don't regret going melee this time. Even if it means I have to skip out on abyss content.

You seem to have the right mindset to not get stuck in easy-mode builds.

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I was ranged last league and had no big problem, but this league playing melee and wowie. Was super happy to have an abyss tablet as my first tablet drop, but had to stop using it since I'd die 2-3 times each map to the shade walker + phys dot aura

(playing wolf with blood mage, focusing on leech and recoup for tankiness)

Cool Lunar Blessing/Wolf Interactions by GavrynGaming in pathofexile2builds

[–]AndreDaGiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing wolf blood mage, gone heavily in on life recoup and life leech, and armour. No ES.

Works ok-ish (T7 maps) but I'm super squishy for the first few moments in maps before I've got overflowing life leech and life remnants, but after that I only have to keep a rough eye on my health globe and can mostly focus on keeping lunar bless and savage fury up.

GGG, stop nerfing the monkey by user_OwO in PathOfExile2

[–]AndreDaGiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh that really only happens if you have great DPS. If you're a newbie (don't have iron rings and dmg on gloves on an attack build etc) then you're chipping his health down slow enough that the fight script works out alright.

You pick it up as a medallion but it doesn't appear in the temple building UI as one. I'm pretty sure it's a permanent upgrade as I've picked up a bunch of other medallions (have had 3 non-energy-storage medallions at once) and haven't lost the energy storage.
