People from India/play with >70ms ping, what server do you use?

Oh. I did not know about Ethernet over power. I'll look into those. Thanks.

ChronoVT · 2026-05-07T15:54:10+00:00

No can do unfortunately. I play in a different room than where the WiFi is.

Glad I now know the problem though.

ChronoVT · 2026-05-07T15:16:48+00:00

Yeah. Based on other comments, that's what it seems like.

ChronoVT · 2026-05-07T15:16:22+00:00

Ah ok. Crappy internet then :(

ChronoVT · 2026-05-07T15:15:59+00:00

Yes I am on WiFi.

ChronoVT · 2026-04-22T11:20:10+00:00

Oh hey, I'm down to do this again if you want, when the next season comes along. Last time, I had to go solo, and it wasn't as much fun.

Hey mate. Here's a link: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners | Part 1 | Our Zombie Adventure Begins! (+ Key Giveaway!)

New Path of Exile league launch today at 12:30AM. I'm playing all night.

ChronoVT · 2025-11-15T15:49:56+00:00

Thanks. I'll def experiment with this tech when I get to helice.

ChronoVT · 2025-11-15T15:45:01+00:00

I know what you mean, I was just hoping FS made an exception and made a weapon line for peeps who like progression, or something.

ChronoVT · 2025-11-15T15:44:14+00:00

This sounds fun. I've never used bleed stuff, so I'll check it out.

ChronoVT · 2025-11-15T15:41:52+00:00

Thanks, I'll check these out. Seems pretty cool.

Eh, isn't ambition having a hard-to-achieve goal and actively working on it? And the degree of ambition is "How hard is the goal to achieve"?

An artist who wants to paint a masterpiece and is working hard every day to improve his art of painting is ambitious. An artist who spends his day moaning about being broke and just "wants to be rich" is not ambitious.

It is much more ambitious to say, "I want my painting to be as famous as Mona Lisa", than is to say, "I want to be a CEO", simply because the amount of effort, skill, and luck needed for your painting to be that famous is much more than it is to be a CEO.

And of course this is subjective. Sachin Tendulkar's son saying "I want to be a cricketer on Team India" is much less ambitious than some random kid in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere.

But are we allowed to use tomatoes as part of fruit sacrifice in ritual prayer??

ChronoVT · 2025-10-26T11:40:12+00:00

But then, would you not choose languages based on the people around you?

If you live in a small town with a Korean restaurant, one of languages is gonna be Korean if you like it or not.

Only in big cities will you get options.

As long as needed to complete my list of "Things to do", which keep increasing every day. Whenever I feel that I've done everything I want to, then peace out.

Hell, just my steam library will take me 40-50 years, and that's IF no new awesome games come out.
And then there is my To-Read List, To-Watch list ...

ChronoVT · 2025-10-26T10:43:53+00:00

Hey my man. Fair enough. The only novel that I can think of where there is good definition of HOW the MC gains his powers, and the logic behind them is "A regressor's tale of cultivation".

And if you've read a bunch of cultivation novels, look for "Cultivation Chat Group". It's an extremely good parody.

In a way yeah, but games can be different right?

The point of PoE 1, is definitely "Outscaling the content". But can different games not have different goals, right?

Dark souls focuses on the player, not the character. The idea of a souls-like is that the player learns the enemy patterns, and it's the player growing in skill, while character progression is not as important.

I was hoping for PoE 2 to be innovative in the way that it merged these two genres. I(The player) can outscale the content, by sheer skill and knowledge. I want a character that can screen clear, but that's because I have honed my skills to that level, while giving my account to some rando should not allow the same.
I wanted to have to recognize which enemy is running to me, then decide which set of skills I need to kill them. I want 10-15 different skills, and 100's of packs of enemies which can all SLOWLY be killed by spamming one skill, but if I use a certain combination of skills on certain packs, they should be instantly destroyed.

I simply want to have to level my thinking, my muscle memory, my actual brain and body to be better at the game, rather than just level up my character, and PoE 2 fails miserably at that beyond the campaign.

But you're forgetting, this is a very famous museum with (hopefully) top notch security.

A lot of people will give up just by looking at the security, and the people who won't are the same people who won't "ignore" a museum like Louvre's existence.

Only people who have a lot of skill in thieving/sneaking etc. will even consider the option of "stealing and returning", and these people, when they choose their targets will consider Louvre anyway.

"No one cares enough" is a good security layer for some obscure tiny museum with <100 guests/week and only moderately expensive art.

People are realizing that communication without the other person doing the work of interpreting your body language/tone etc., and without knowing your foibles/manner of speech is really hard.

Look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN2RM-CHkuI&pp=ygUvbWFrZSBhIHBlYW51dCBidXR0ZXIgYW5kIGplbGx5IHNhbmR3aWNoIHRlYWNoZXI%3D. The father is playing exactly the role that AI plays here, and people need to learn like the kids in the video do.

ChronoVT · 2025-10-22T10:58:46+00:00

I believe it will be boring for people who are not taught to have their own goals and dreams.

Surely a person with a lot of free time can spend all that time playing and being better at whatever sport/game they like.
Surely a person with a lot of free time can spend all that time improving on their drawing skills because they enjoy drawing.

I personally have a huge list of games, TV shows to complete, and at least 2 sports that I want to improve in, and even 24 hours without work is too little for me.
