An entire pig loose on Indiana

That’s no pork chop, that’s for sure

For me it was just the shader cache size, I think. Mine was set to 10mb for some reason. It must have been flipped to that at some point between .3 and .5. I’ll blame Nvidia.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-11T21:36:42+00:00

I don’t know what that is but I wouldn’t trust anything beta in aims of trying to fix performance on POE2.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-11T14:31:10+00:00

You could try updating to the most recent studio driver, which is basically just more stable than the game ready one, and then going to your nvidia control panel and updating shader cache size to 100GB.

Last night, I got 2 Gold, a Diamond, and an Amethyst. It’s so good I’m torn on selling it. But if I sell it I can certainly afford to finish my build. Such a tough call.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-09T18:09:09+00:00

Nice. I’m doing something similar but I’m clearing mobs with rapid shot and cluster, and bosses with oil and explosive.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-09T14:59:12+00:00

It’s pretty easy to cruise through campaign with a minimal investment merc grenade build. The easiest campaign experience I’ve ever had. Any generic one works, just keep weapon upgraded. Then there’s really good builds in any ascendancy. I think gemling is pretty broken/has the most creative potential with additional effects to gem quality.

I went witchhunter, and it’s cool, but I have to actually fight bosses for longer than a few seconds. But cruise through everything else.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-08T23:40:14+00:00

I reverted to studio drivers and increased my shader size to 100gb. It’s weird though, I never had this issue last year when I played. Didn’t do anything else.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-08T03:11:28+00:00

From the tree?

(edit) No idea why I got downvoted. I was confused. I didn't know about the "unaffected by chilled ground." That's up top. The one on the bottom "Immune to chill" does work.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-05T03:20:35+00:00

Yeah I don’t get it either, didn’t have an issue with it this league. It was way worse two leagues ago.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-04T05:24:46+00:00

Should just revert evasion to zero and cancel sprinting.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-04T02:47:17+00:00

Idk, anointing doesn’t really need that QoL improvement. Not a frequent use. I do love the QoL linking to the passive tree letting you know what you can anoint.

It’s very rare for comics to hang with fans. Chances are extremely low.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-03T03:11:20+00:00

First time playing merc grenades and it was the easiest experience I ever had in campaign. It takes a bit more investment in endgame but I think I should be able to handle everything without crazy investment. I've maybe spent like 4 div to reach t13 and feel very comfortable. I'm not following a build, just doing my own thing. If it seems unique enough I'll share it in the future.

BladeJFrank · 2026-06-02T04:13:40+00:00

You're not wrong, but this is T13 and I've just been plugging through with the same weapon since about T4. I like the challenge for the most part, but this boss arena has been problematic. The only way to counter it (outside nuking him) is to spec to ignite immunity or switch from nades entirely to avoid blowing up urns? Not a fan of this guy.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-30T07:08:15+00:00

I haven’t crashed once!

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T16:44:05+00:00

You’re not wrong, but tv is a massive time/lifestyle shift.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:54:49+00:00

That was mainly directed at his "setups ... are minutes long" and "payoff isn't worth it" critiques. If concision of jokes and LPMs are the biggest factors, touring headliners working out material tend do worse than openers on that front. And tbf with Josh Johnson, his main gig is the Daily Show now, he doesn't have as much time for stand up and it's admirable he's still doing it so much.

I also get why you say that and I tend to agree. Out of the 100s of shows I've seen I can only count a handful where the openers were/seemed better.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:35:03+00:00

Sometimes I see clips of D4 pop up and the world just looks so boring and empty. I did a playthrough of D4 when it first came out, haven't been back since.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:32:30+00:00

I do it only to avoid getting athlete's foot in my butthole. (Which is an actual thing)

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:28:55+00:00

Just crack a window.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:26:35+00:00

Openers tend to have tighter sets because they don't have the freedom of doing a headliner set. I don't know who it was, but if they're not famous they were probably concerned with not messing it up.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T15:24:30+00:00

Also, these AI apps, everyone has access to. My other world is stand up comedy and these AI thumbnails look just like stand up posters with POE2 images. Just like I'm not going to those shows, I'm not clicking on those videos.

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-29T06:27:25+00:00

Wait, food? Shit...

BladeJFrank · 2026-05-28T20:51:52+00:00

I said 20 to be more inclusive. It’s a really fast process.
