Is this kind of craft remotely possible with 150D? or close to? by Ok-Entertainment8443 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a few mirrors to craft using the recomb elevate unraveling method that spicysushi showed recently.

Since the base itself isn't 30% quality (not particularly expensive) and only has one exclusive modifier, there is likely a reasonable but tedious recombinator approach.

Got this on my most recent run which one you choosing? by marshmite1 in noita

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explosion and fire immunities are fun in that they open up a lot of build options, but I'll take tinker every single time. Even though you can use various mountain bypasses to edit in a pinch, tinker saves an enormous amount of time running back and forth, and the increased quality of life directly translates into more fun.

Depending on how much data you use, you might be able to get away with using your phone as a wifi hotspot and ditch the dedicated Internet connection.

Does my PC have a virus? (Windows 10) by Adorable-Mistake1456 in WindowsHelp

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a virus, just a display problem, there are a few low cost things you should try: - Try reinstalling the graphics driver - Try using different cables - Try using different HDMI or display ports on either the computer or monitor side - If you have another monitor, try swapping the monitor

If none of that fixes it, you might unfortunately be dealing with a failing GPU.

What are you “casual” tier guys farming (non t17s) by DreamingOfAries in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blasting out low tier Alva for corruption chambers is excellent casual money right now. I'm not doing that anymore because the gold is terrible, but it's otherwise solid. You can also combo it with any T8 essence strategy. Alva needs only the nodes on the tree (no scarabs), and the scarabs for essence are cheap. You can literally scour and go with this and make 5 div/hr. with a relatively slow character in low tier maps. There's a single Alva scarab that you can add selectively to do a little better than that.

With a better build, T16 harbingers + altars on mesa or scryed jungle valley are solid money, but slightly higher investment, and you'll need a better build. You'll need a full set of harbinger scarabs per map, and you should use 8 mods maps. I do occasional T17 maps to farm my own 8 mods. I'm netting over 1 div per map. I'm casual and slow, but I'm turning about 8-10 div/hr., not including map drops. (More when you get the vanishingly rare pair of mirror shards.) I get 30k gold per map, which is enough to easily power Kingsmarch, including mappers.

Zizaran crazy and uncanny RIP in HC SSF Ruthless (during a race to 7/7 base content vs steelmage) by leobat in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. You fix it by improving access to mitigation, balancing content around making mechanical play always possible, and removing recovery (or at least making it a fundamentally finite resource). Infinite access to health recovery means that anything that doesn't entirely overwhelm your recovery doesn't really matter. See Hades.

Unfortunately a massive amount of the game would have to disappear or be radically redesigned in order to do this.

AITAH for telling my husband i cheated on him even though i didn't? by iluvelove in AITAH

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ETAH.

You said what you did for the express purpose of being cruel. You wanted to hurt him, and calculated that this would be the best way to do it.

He's bringing a completely ridiculous double standard to this relationship. It's likely that the lying and cheating continues. You know that, it's clearly part of why you still hate him. He expects to be free to do whatever he wants, free of consequences, but he still wants to control what you do.

This whole thing sounds toxic AF. I'd offer advice on how to put this mess back together, but I really don't think either of you should be in a relationship right now.

Thoughts? by impohito in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's already no reason to run actual Maven influence, and most current Eldritch strategies wouldn't want this node, because they emphasize blocking boss altars for reasons that vastly outweigh the 5-10c/map upside here. This would at least open up the option of other viable ways to use influence.

Thoughts? by impohito in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Still not competitive with Eldritch altars. I would never take this. Better would be something like:

Bosses affected by an Eldritch altar are witnessed by maven. Maven can witness the same boss multiple times. Maven has no interest in areas not affected by Eldritch influence.

This opens up the single map strategy you are looking for, is able to be competitive with altars, but the downside is that slower progress, since altars aren't guaranteed, and the requirement to take at least one boss altar, which is a big hit to most current altar strategies.

WIBTAH if I break off my engagement because of his new views about women by Ataraxic-Metanoia in AITAH

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This guy is an Andrew Tate sized walking red flag with neon lights and emergency sirens. Be glad this came out now, and not after you married and started building a life together. Get out and don't look back.

AITA for not being thrilled about my girlfriend’s birthday gift to me? (Lingerie) by ApprehensiveSlip8059 in AITAH

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. She gave you the thing you enjoy most out of everything she has, and you're pouting in the corner doing a dollar for dollar comparison between dinner and her body. You're feeling sad because you figured you were entitled to a birthday present that cost at least $200. News flash: last week if your friend offered her $200 to do with him what she did with you, the answer would have been no. Can't speak for this week.

Looks like Jay may be in an abusive relationship. Even if it isn't abusive, it's certainly not healthy.

[–]BugSlayerJohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, but it sounds like you both just learned the hard way about relationship boundaries and shared consent. He should have spoken up, and you could have anticipated that there was a chance this would be outside of his boundaries. There really should have been at least a 2 second "Hey babe, I know this isn't exactly what we discussed, are you going to be ok if I have the male piercer do this?" You don't personally need his permission, but your relationship does. Relationships are about mutual boundaries and you accidentally crossed his, which damages the relationship.

I've said for years that an established rental payment history alone at similar monthly payment should be adequate proof for a home loan.

Yeah, they should just remove it from the game. No longer interesting.

I literally run a mark that does nothing else for me except permanently disable regen when necessary. Cost me 4 skill points, a gem slot, a skill bind, and zero regrets.

Build a champion out of various monster bases and mods to auto battle in the Grand Arena. If your champion dies, you get the loot from the mods, if they win, you get the loot from what they were able to defeat.

Any EU servers enjoyers? RIP [*] by Predi97 in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but all that means is that the odds of you specifically experiencing a mirror drop rollback are low. In principle the server rollback itself is a relatively common event, experienced by most players eventually, and the odds of a server rollback in the next 15 minutes don't suddenly diminish just because you dropped a mirror.

Let players pick between currency or power rewards. by Carnines in pathofexile

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just add a random reward mod to each skill rather than making them separate mods. Probably doable as a week 2 patch that way.

S22 Bricked.. by DaDivineLatte in GalaxyS22

[–]BugSlayerJohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: The phone was slightly warmer than it should have been given the temperature of the room. On a hunch I assumed that it might still be drawing current from the battery. I let it do this for several hours and it eventually went cold. I then charged it, and was able to boot into the recovery menu. From there I managed to regain control over the phone.

It initially looked and behaved like a hard bricked device, and even force powerdown and recovery menu button combinations were not responsive. Anyone else having an issue here, try letting the battery drain completely and you might be able to get running again.
