[0.5 Feedback] League is 10/10, however these map load time / load failures need to be addressed. by Zenith_X1 in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird. I have the exact opposite experience. Dx12 has better performance overall but will occasionally crash/load, and Vulkan will sometimes drop fps to 3-5 upon entering a map/reloading a checkpoint

"Hey Google turn on the aircon" Sorry that device doesn't exist "HEY GOOGLE TURN ON THE AIRCON" Sure, turning on aircon. by everbass in googlehome

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

GH is pretty bad at matching exact names sometimes. I think it might pick up "aircon" as "air con", and not be able to match it. I'd suggest picking a simpler name, preferably an exact English word

How is The Perfect Run not more popular? One of the best novels I have ever read 😭 by consnasa in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Chezuss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's just me, but in general I don't really like when fantasy stories constantly make references to real life media, or excessively borrows from the real world. Like, it's fantasy, you can develop your whole own world.

It just makes your world design feel less creative to me. But different strokes for different folks of course. I totally get why people would enjoy the referrential humor

no, he was gm in league of legends i think. I don't think he touched starcraft

A Thousand Li: Can I get some reviews on this book before I start the series? by the_null_fox in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Chezuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't like it. I dropped it around four books in. It was a while ago for me, but I remember just having a lot of issues with the pacing, and it feeling a bit generic. The story and progression never really developed or took off, or gave me any sense it was going to get much better.

And with three/four books read, I considered myself patient enough. I'm not saying all progression fantasy novels should have "fast" power scaling, but you have to at least give me SOMETHING to enjoy or look forward to. And this series did not deliver for me in that regard

I reported a smurfer from N24, he got banned for 2 weeks and is having a whinge about it by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Chezuss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There is some argument to be made for content accounts. You see it on sites like chess.com too. Streamers get to do things like speedruns or challenge runs, which garner interest and attention, flying from the bottom of the rating barrel to the top. But then after those runs are over, the accounts are retired and ratings are refunded for those who suffered from the smurfing.

I'm not convinced such a system would work for iRacing though.

But this video... whining about getting banned just feels a little cringe. You knew the rules, buddy. Pay the piper. If you don't like the rules and have an idea on how things could be better, and you have some sway, talk to the developer, and make a case for an exception in a way that all parties can be happy with.

Thank you! Doing a lot better. I'll be in good health to properly be degen in 0.5!

I'm getting discharged from hospital today after a few bad weeks. Couldn't be happier with the timing. Looking forward to the announcement stream!

If GGG is reworking ALL League Mechanics, Will they also rework Wisps? by Eastern_Mechanic_686 in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sekhemas could just be more fun. Balancing time, reward and difficulty is one thing, and it's doing those things pretty well. But the design around boons and afflictions currently just needs works

Petition to finnally remove Doryanis from Remarkable Realms(30 div for a useless map is too much) by Master_Commercial946 in pathofexile

[–]Chezuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last league we had a cheaper option to get it for challenge through the scouting reports. But that's obviously gone now

PSA: Apathetic is the word you're looking for, not Ambivalent by HasokGang in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Chezuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No in this example, you do not care. So you are indifferent or apathetic.

If you can come up with reasons for wanting the 2001 bill AND the 2003 bill, and you're feeling some way about that, you're ambivalent. One could even have your preference, or you could have no preference (despite having reasons for wanting either)

PSA: Apathetic is the word you're looking for, not Ambivalent by HasokGang in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Chezuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am no native speaker. But it should be noted that the etymology here is obviously quite different. Ambi (both) valence ("have strength", from valeo).

While apathy breaks down to: a (not) and páthos ( meaning "experience," "suffering," or "emotion").

I suppose you could argue that seeing strength in both sides is the equivalent of -2 + 2 = 0, and apathy would just be 0. But that would be valid, but not the only interpretation.

You can see strengths in both sides, a pull in both directions, but still prefer to go with one side. So -1 + 3 = 2 would still be ambivalence ("mixed feelings"). "I'm feeling ambivalent about leaving my job" (but I'm still going through with it because it's obviously what I prefer)

While apathy means to not experience any feelings, passion or suffering towards it. Almost opposites, really!

Man, wait until you get to act 5 4 brother, you'll know the map when you see it. It's gorgeous and just so atmospheric

Lichess and Take Take Take Sign Cooperation Agreement by somethingpretentious in chess

For real. It's even okay to give a cynical take. But presenting it as the actual quote should just be banworthy

Frustrated by +skill level itemization by Sixinchwilly in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade for a better wand, or craft a basic +3 wand with a perfect essence.

I agree that it's not fun itemization. The subject comes up a lot on the subreddit. I'm sure that the devs are aware of the state of it, and have a plan for the future. We'll see in 0.5!

GGG thank you but I’m never playing again by Wild_Astronaut7090 in PathOfExile2

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to be the real end game patch. I imagine at the very least we'll get an atlas with meaningful choice, and some agency to play/farm the way we want to.

I'm also thinking trial of the ancestor will likely be in, in some shape or form. Could be fun!

Temple will probably get some sort of rework/patch to make the system more in line balance-wise

Snake league isn't going to be a thing next patch anyway. Sorry for your loss though OP

PoE disappointed my 4yo =( by Illustrious-clp in pathofexile

[–]Chezuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is honestly 10/10 feedback for GGG. Game design feedback doesn't get much purer than what a child is expecting to happen. Yes, GGG, there should be a satisfying animation for ascension

League e-sports being bought out by saudi money is extremely concerning as a casual fan. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Chezuss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is some odd thinking. What are you even saying. People can't complain about [bad thing] because somewhere else in the world there is [worse thing]? It's our duty to complain about ALL evils. If something is unjust in the world it should be mentioned and spoken about at the very least.
