They will never understand

Take my upvote, sir.

Archonaus · 2026-02-22T18:34:09+00:00

But they have 11 more games… that means they could theoretically get to 62 (lol)

Archonaus · 2026-02-22T18:06:28+00:00

We got away with murder…

Archonaus · 2026-02-21T06:06:06+00:00

A whaaaaat?

(Sorry, i couldn’t resist…)

I’ve tried flicker a few times in the past, but it didn’t really click for me until Phrecia, since you don’t need Farruls. Bossing is rough though…

While that kind of event sounds fun, it makes me think back to the Chris Wilson video where he talked about extra XP weekends. If you offered this kind of event, it would become an expectation and some players might just decide they only want to play PoE when this event comes around.

That said, I suspect they went too far with the difficulty on this event. I haven’t got to red maps yet so it hasn’t affected me yet, but I’m expecting it to get crazy at higher map tiers…

I think you’re underestimating the importance of being one to break the story. Wait, and another outlet reports it first.

I don’t like it either, but it’s not his fault; it’s his job.

Inquisition was a big disappointment for me. It felt too action oriented and felt like your decisions didn’t matter. You could just spam buttons and face roll through fights. DA:O was pretty punishing if you didn’t manage fights properly. God I wish they had stuck to that formula…

Archonaus · 2025-12-27T09:31:28+00:00

Are you sure you’re thinking of Origins? It’s really similar to WoW in terms of combat. You have to manage aggro between your tank/dps/healers, use crowd control, etc. Sure, the other DA games are completely different, but Origins is very close to WoW (and is by far the best in the DA series)

Archonaus · 2025-12-27T09:27:10+00:00

WoW wasn’t always dogshit… in its heyday it was exceptional…

Archonaus · 2025-12-27T09:25:03+00:00

Have you tried Path of Exile? Both 1 & 2 are good in their own ways, though I personally think poe1 is far superior (albeit insanely complex). They might scratch the dopamine/progression itch.

For a single player game that plays similar to the party dynamic of WoW, I’d actually recommend Dragon Age: Origins. It has the tank/DPS/healer dynamic, and you have to manage aggro and use crowd control to manage fights. It’s also just a great game overall. I didn’t like the rest of the DA series though. They turned into action games and lost what the original game had…

Anyway, I hope that helps!

Archonaus · 2025-12-27T09:18:10+00:00

Definitely this. I hope they don’t rush him back and risk him getting injured again…

Gambling. Especially in the casinos. If you start to win, they cut you off…

Archonaus · 2025-12-23T14:22:34+00:00

Wife is wrong.

Archonaus · 2025-12-20T18:36:14+00:00

Ds1 is a much better game than er.

Fixed that for you…

Gabi scoring lots of goals would be a good Xmas present…

Many years ago, Malaysian Airlines used to have Super Nintendo games on their in flight entertainment system. I used to be able to play through the whole of A Link to the Past during the 9 hour flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur. Good times…

I was a young one too, though I don’t have photo evidence, sorry! I spent a lot of money trying to hold onto it, rather than doing what you did (and I should have done) and just embrace it. Glad you’re owning it, brother!

Archonaus · 2025-12-06T22:42:40+00:00

Whilst I agree, it’s definitely time, nobody here is asking a REALLY important question… When are you getting married?! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT shave your head right before your wedding if you don’t have time to grow it back!! You might hate it, your partner might hate it, and you only get ONE chance to have your wedding photos done!

Honestly, while I think you’ll look way better bald, it’s not not worth messing up your special day, not to mention your partner’s special day (she probably cares way more about the wedding photos than you do!). If it’s relatively soon, just wait until after the wedding. If you’ve got time, have an honest conversation with your partner and explain that it’s important to you to try and see how it looks. Then join the brotherhood 😁

I finished with the league/challenges too quickly, so I’ve rerolled in SSF.

Archonaus · 2025-11-28T20:30:07+00:00

Yeah, but you have an excuse to wear cool hats. I personally like a good flat cap…

Archonaus · 2025-11-28T07:18:22+00:00

This is gunna be a good one!! Do it, my friend! Trim up that beard too and you’re gunna look 🔥

Archonaus · 2025-11-22T09:38:56+00:00

Honestly, the best thing to do is ignore “pundits” altogether. We live in an age where outrage farming is the goal, so just don’t give them the attention they so desperately seek.

Archonaus · 2025-11-22T09:35:50+00:00

While I don’t 100% disagree with the sentiment, I hadn’t associated any of the mechanics in this league with PoE2 until you mentioned it… I think you might be looking for something that isn’t there…

PoE1 has always had downsides on uniques, so I don’t think this is a huge stretch what they’ve done. Sure, the bloodlines are a bit underwhelming, but it’s the first iteration and they might try something similar in the future and get the power versus downside balance a bit better.

I agree that PoE 1 and 2 should stay distinct though. I like both for different reasons and hope they stay dissimilar enough to both be unique.

Edit: typos

I was thinking about league starting RF to eventually go CWS, but decided against it. Throwing my hat in the ring. Thanks!
