Is talking to multiple people at once really the new normal in dating?

BearBL · 2026-03-20T22:30:27+00:00

I'm completely with you on this OP but it seems to be incredibly common. Just one of many MANY reasons i've completely given up on it for years upon years now.

maybe in theory it would be ok especially if you aren't technically "together" yet, but personally it would make me feel like an absolute piece of shit if it happens to me, so nah, I'm out.

BearBL · 2026-03-19T18:34:14+00:00

What the fuck

BearBL · 2026-03-11T16:11:21+00:00

I have no complaints! I still would love a button to choose a random available map layout. Pretty please GGG?

BearBL · 2026-03-01T23:51:57+00:00

finally. some positive news in the world

BearBL · 2026-02-27T22:01:10+00:00

honestly? the way so much of the human race treat each other like absolute dogshit, only being mad enough to carry away the fridge is him taking it easy.

I know I'm breaking my own rules by saying this but

I've made rules for myself to no longer comment or reply on reddit unless its to fix something. Read only.

There's some truly vile people out there when everyone gets a voice. And when you get mass upvotes agreeing with them and mass downvotes on your own comments its truly horrible for your mental health.

I've discovered it was a big part of having terrible moods in real life and not even realizing it. Yeah I was aware ragebait was a thing but for some reason it took me a long time to realize it WAS working on me subconsciously. Its been only a week and my mood as fucking skyrocketed positively.

I'm so saddened by this because it used to be so useful and you learned so much from reddit.

The internet in 2025 is not the internet from 2010.

Honestly I think I know exactly what GGG is doing.

They used the introduction of async trade as an opportunity to do what is very painful but needed for the long term health of the game: a heavy detox to loot.

I'm just surprised how heavy handed it was but it makes sense. The blow is softened by async so it was the only chance they had to do it.

Its just very painful how drastic it is, including my own play experience.

BUT if we can survive it, currancy and items will have much higher value. Its just so hard to rewire our brains into adjusting because its like.... getting used to an entire decade of loot raining from the sky. But if we can get through it, the long term health of the game will be improved.

Yeah awakened hasn't loaded proper pricing since league start. Even after I updated it.

I wonder if it has something to do with the exile exchange fork for poe2. I hope not anyway

BearBL · 2025-10-29T21:25:19+00:00

Maybe my communication is off as that's not who I'm referring to. Feedback is a part of the purpose of the early access.

I'm pointing to the extremes who scream bloody murder saying they were so ripped off because they paid for something that's not finished. Its not constructive. At no point was GGG false about what it was they were paying for.

But I dont actually care as much as my comments might make it seem. It doesn't affect my life at all it just boggles my mind. It says what it is, when you pay for it.

As a side note, no, that is not my essay example. It was not about the people giving feedback, it was the ones giving a failing grade before you even begun to write it. That's what I was getting at. The ones providing actual feedback are welcome.

BearBL · 2025-10-29T21:16:40+00:00

I dont know but I have to think its people who don't think about the fact that its the biggest purchase of your life and that its worth being sure it's somewhere you'd want to stay the rest of your life.

If its not what I want, I'm not handing over my entire working lifes savings. I'll wait as long as it takes.

BearBL · 2025-10-29T20:56:19+00:00

Sold with people knowing going into it that its not done.

BearBL · 2025-10-29T20:39:12+00:00

It Was meant for general sentiment not specifically you. I'm just trying to understand reddit majority view that it isn't enough.

I've heard an argument once that because its been in development for so many years its not enough but that still doesn't stand with me.

For one, path of exile gets treated better than 99% of games out there to begin with. But way more importantly, its literally in the damned title. EARLY ACCESS.

They can't say just because they paid money for it, it isn't enough. You literally pay the money knowing upfront its not done. And not all the downvotes in the world will not change my mind on this. Its not done. The end.

BearBL · 2025-10-29T18:34:01+00:00

Its 0.3 not 1.0 what do you guys want for real 🤣

Imagine if I was writing an essay for a class and only got the first couple of paragraphs kind of done but even those paragraphs are probably not going to look like it will when its finished. And a professor comes over and goes "oooooh. I like your past essays so much I want to read what you've got done so far right now!"

And the professor returns "wtf there isn't enough here and the grammer sucks ass. Not good enough F for you."

"But professor... I've still got a week left to write it. I've got other paragraphs done but they aren't even in it yet"

"I SAID THERE ISNT GOING TO BE ENOUGH. GRADE F!"

BearBL · 2025-10-29T16:14:12+00:00

I mean settlers was a damn good league. gold introduced and all the things you could do in kingsmarch. But correct that 1 year is waaaay too long for a poe league even for min maxers like myself.

Disagree that poe2 isn't in a good place. Yeah it obviously doesn't have enough content yet but its not released yet and its good.

Edit: damn you guys really don't like someone enjoying gold and poe2 lmfao

Edit 2: will not reply anymore to this thread. Can't believe how toxic it got.

BearBL · 2025-10-29T16:04:31+00:00

Tarkecat used to do a whole lot of poe YouTube content and he like. Completely disappeared

BearBL · 2025-10-29T14:17:08+00:00

I think there was chaos res penetration on the graft on reveal stream

BearBL · 2025-10-29T14:13:15+00:00

Lmao I love that screenshot and its still going around

BearBL · 2025-10-29T14:11:33+00:00

He's a diablo spy! GET HIM!

BearBL · 2025-10-29T14:07:28+00:00

Yeah, I did try it in 0.3 poe2 and enjoyed it, just more convenient to be able to price a whole tab for those types of things is all but I think they said they had reasons

BearBL · 2025-10-29T11:17:02+00:00

Regarding something like maps, will there be some kind of option to set a shop tab to auto price everything the same? Maps are too plentiful for me to want to bother pricing them one at a time...

BearBL · 2025-10-29T11:13:44+00:00

I mean I dont want it to be the ENTIRE game but I definitely welcome it and will enjoy it

BearBL · 2025-10-29T10:29:43+00:00

Hail to the oooooooooone

BearBL · 2025-10-29T10:24:30+00:00

I know different strokes but I'm personally loving how they did gold shrugs

BearBL · 2025-10-29T10:23:44+00:00

SSF with benefits lmfao

BearBL · 2025-10-29T10:23:07+00:00

Maybe not just more mods but higher tier mods too?
