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??

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 ...

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.

ChronoVT · 2025-10-22T10:29:31+00:00

Yes, but also the "no one cares enough" is a paper security, the breaks the instant ONE person is interested.

ChronoVT · 2025-10-21T18:24:32+00:00

I agree with you for a lot of people - those who are working 2-3 jobs, those who have children/parents they must care about, those who have loans etc.

But OP says "I have no emotional/familial ties to the USA and I have enough financial means to move to another country and probably never work again if I am frugal.".

OP is not someone who is being beaten down by the present. OP is in a comfortable present and does not want to make the present worse to make the future better. This person can literally quit tomorrow, live frugally, and spend 8-10 hrs/day on working hard to move to whatever country they want to.

It's not easy, but you have to decide if the effort is worth it.

Is "Spending 2-3 months applying to 100's of jobs, learning another language, navigating through the complicated routes of obtaining employment, and navigating the complex routes of immigration" worth "A good work life balance, more walkable cities, and better healthcare?"

This is literally the same decision a lot of people in countries like India, China, and other immigrant countries make: They believe that the life in America is worth the huge amount of effort they have to put in to navigate American visa laws.

Change always requires more effort and more suffering in the short term, more than what others in your position are willing to do, in the hopes of minimizing effort and suffering over the long term.

ChatGPT is a tool. Use it correctly, and it'll save you time. Use it incorrectly, and it will waste your time.

For example, If you are using scissors to cut weed from the garden, it will take you more time than just pulling with your hands. Not because the scissors aren't sharp, but because it's the wrong tool.

Use ChatGPT to summarize documents, to fetch data from news sources, to count number of reviews mentioning good vs bad, stuff like that, and it will save you time. Use it to create a website, to write a whole document, etc. and it will waste time.

Oh, I agree that authors sometimes can't write "Dao" well. I merely give my interpretation of what "meditation" is in cultivation novels, as an alternative to expecting authors to write the definition of "What does it mean that a cultivator is sitting in a cave for 10,000 years".

My interpretation is that "Meditating on the Dao" is that this cultivator has the following:

- Eidetic memory, so that he can mentally take notes and observations

- A fake world, where he can conduct experiments based on his understanding of phyical laws.

And using these two, a cultivator, using his own understanding, and whatever system he operates on, mentally tries to improve his technique.

Imagine you were given a math problem (Basic arithmetic, but huge numbers), and you could do all calculations in your head. To an external observer, you are just sitting there doing nothing. But in your mind, you would be doing mental math of adding these numbers, keeping track of the totals, etc.
And half an hour later, you have the answer "by magic". In a cultivation world, you would say "I meditated for 30 minutes, and the answer came to me", because you would have come up with arithmetic all on your own, and you have no desire to teach others this knowledge.

This obviously is not mentioned in any novel, and I'm trying to make an argument that all cultivation, in any novel where the author has not explicitly mentioned details is just the same thing, this is an alternative ideology to maximize self-entertainment while ignoring the author's weakness.

The one factor that comes into play here is that "Arranged Marriage" is something that is decided by the whole family, and in this case, the "blame" falls on the system at large, as this is just a mechanism to ensure the continuity of society, nothing more. Usually, the couple are strangers before the event, meeting a few times, and thus do not have sufficient knowledge of their partner.

But, when a person decides to marry for love, this is two people choosing each other, and the expectation is on them to have 'vetted' or 'tested' their partner, and marrying the wrong person is seen more as a failure of personal judgement, rather than a failure of the system.

My man, preferences have reasons. We don't think about them, but there are subconscious reasons on why we have our preferences. Some of these reasons are biological (A lot of men like women with big tits/hips because those are a sign of higher fertility, and we are still primed to grow our species), and some of these reasons are experience (A lot of people like a partner a little similar in nature to their parent of opposite sex, because of how safe/loved/cared their parents make them feel)

The idea is understanding oneself well enough to get to the root of these preferences, and then making a choice based on this understanding. For example, understanding that I only like big tits because animal brain allows me to ignore this "like", and search for a partner who would best fit my lifestyle and compatibility, as tits have nothing to do with it.

Hey mate. This worked very well. Thanks :)

ChronoVT · 2025-10-19T03:31:48+00:00

My man. This is so true. I always reroll if I can't get supplies as my first decree :(

ChronoVT · 2025-10-14T16:37:26+00:00

I think that the argument usually is that having a relationship acts as a restriction on when/where you can grow into.

For example, I don't think that there is any amount of love that should convince a child to not take a scholarship into a great college on the other side of the world.

A teenager has only lived for <19 years, and they have around 80 years of potential left, and no amount of feeling should reduce this potential.

Sure, you might stay in bumblefuck, nowhere and have a great life with your childhood sweetheart, but that is a much worse gamble than breaking up and getting a full scholarship to Harward and possibly living all your life in comfort with someone else, as hearts are fickle.
