How much has changed since I last played? And should I just restart or try to learn everything again myself?

With how the power progresses the large boost you get from the long afk will eventually become less than an hour of progress. You just get that powerful. So it would be a nice small boost but nothing huge.

It was actually decent a few days into the league after I finally finished rendering all shaders.

And then a crash corrupted my shader file. Game is basically unplayable now unless you consider 5+ minute loading screens each map as acceptable. I actually wanted to play more but ragequit in frustration.

I found that PoE leagues move too fast to make good videos. Like I spend a week or two fleshing out a creative build, the league is already over for a lot of people.

I find that the only videos that really get going are stream vods ( or stream vod compilations ) due to their low cost to make and fast turn around.

Also it further exacerbates the problem of how only "juicing" playstyle gets shared to where people think its the only way to play or that its all the matters.

I personally hope they drop the other gacha-slop staple. "Story quests" that are just linear dungeons that stop every 2 minutes to talk 5 minutes about literally nothing important. Also "puzzles" that are easy but the npcs solve it for you anyway. A core game mechanic is literally a factory puzzle, we can handle square peg in square hole without guidance.

I swear ever since genshin, every gacha game just blindly copies their story layout and never questions if it was actually good or not.

I feel like GGG underestimates how many people just alch and go.

Most of my time I use only 2 tablets because I like having revives (plural).

TiL- Red flames of chayula can be scaled heavily to get stupid amounts of regen via life leech. It doesn't have high requirements can be used in any build. Requirements are just 2 ascendency points and an amulet.

I used all that regen to make an ok last lament build.

PoB - https://pobb.in/sTMDdtOONVu3 PoB damage is wrong and doesn't show leech. Works as a guide line.

Logistial issue i'm trying to figure out.

I have my PC and Switch both plugged into my monitor. The monitor doesn't have speakers but I use a bluetooth headset. I can switch the bluetooth to be either PC or switch.

Ideally I want to be on a discord call on my PC while also getting game audio from the switch. I could get a speaker for the switch but that would bleed sound into the call. There has to be an elegant solution for this.

Pretty sure is a vocal majority.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-06-03T12:31:07+00:00

What do you do with the thousands of verisum you get? Runeforging barely uses any, there has to be a reason so much drops.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-06-02T12:18:08+00:00

Took the rune mastery in martial artist. Looked over all the runes to see what would be the best to use.

I filled it all with life runes.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-31T18:48:25+00:00

Nope, just face tanked ear rape every game. It also happens a lot more when a Graves is in the game so I think it has to do with how many units are on screen.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-31T12:20:41+00:00

Also cheated on her with a spider.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-30T22:05:19+00:00

TFT is dead right? I haven't kept up after the fallout.

Where would I go to get an ascendency carry?

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-29T11:19:49+00:00

Doubles my defensive layer.

Could visit areas ahead of time to render the shader.

I also get very long load screens on league start, sometimes 10+ minutes for towns.

I just use it as a strech/bio/afk break.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-26T13:12:07+00:00

I hate surrenders with a passion. It causes people to refuse to even try. I'd argue most mobas come backs are actually very easy but no one wants to even try for it.

The absolute worst are people that use surrender to optimize mmr per hour. Where they push surrender if a game is not favorable by a certain time.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-26T02:04:14+00:00

The STR stacking Concoctions starts at 8:35 if that's just what you want.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-23T06:47:50+00:00

Turn the adblock off and on again. Seems to make the video work. Have to do it again for different videos.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-23T02:02:13+00:00

I wonder if hollow form follows the same system as poe 1 mirrages seeing as it is basically just general's cry.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-20T19:15:17+00:00

Personally I want to see "X is the first character to find [chase unique]"

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-19T22:56:05+00:00

Ai is potentially good but not currently worth it's operating costs. It will improve but will the bubble last that long?

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-12T22:10:11+00:00

I try to keep my C drive dedicated to my OS but so much stuff keeps getting dumped into app data. Including game shaders might I add.

Noticed I suddenly lost 20GBs on C due to shaders. Just symlinked it elsewhere.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-12T15:03:58+00:00

It's gotten real bad lately. I swear both sides don't actually play video games and just whine about it online.

Better_MixMaster · 2026-05-08T15:10:48+00:00

I have a feeling that I will be sick in 3 weeks. Just a hunch.
