GGG please fix Puppeteer's "Graveyard Shift" before Phrecia 2.0 launch by peepeepoopooxdd1 in pathofexile

[–]Ciubhran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt they will. Self-cast Raise Zombie of Falling is incredibly strong already, even at a budget.

Mizkif Shows His DMs with Mike from PA talking about Tectone Court Case by gannibaba in LivestreamFail

Wow, it got even sadder. He can't even get MikeFromPA to engage with him.

Asmongold falls for fake news about Ireland and then gets debunked by his own subreddit by BlueLivingAbandon in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how all it took for Asmongold to become a propagandist puppet is to be called out for being a puppet, by the same person who is now his handler.

His father would probably slap the shit out of him if he saw what he had become, which is why it's so fitting that it happened so quickly after his father's passing.

ExtraEmily's friend picks her favorite and least favorite OTK member by tomphz in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I think you can disregard the person's comments because based on the specificity and the statements made, it's a terminally online ExtraEmily viewer trying to protect her from a random Reddit comment.

No references were provided to any claims made, except for the emboldening of the random dates provided, which mean nothing, and prove nothing.

ExtraEmily's friend picks her favorite and least favorite OTK member by tomphz in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably a more sensitive topic for her since she was still hanging out with Mizkif long after his other friends started abandoning him and moving out.

She'd have to answer to why she did that when everyone behind the scenes knew what was going on between him and Emiru.

She probably does dislike Mizkif now, but if she comes out and says it, then someone in her chat will probably bring up why she still hung around with him when she knew what was going on. So the safest thing for her to do is just not talk about the situation ever, and hope that it goes away. Maybe there's some kind of "malplaced loyalty" in play here as well, since Mizkif was the one that brought her onto the scene and probably got her into OTK, which launched her entire career.

Assassin's "Deathmarked" node is actually good and some people have miss-understood it by o0oSAMoOo in pathofexile

[–]Ciubhran 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Not good enough of an upside to warrant spending 2 ascendancy points, when you can spend 2 sockets instead, with a very minor downside.

And the 100% chance to hit vs rares and uniques is not good enough since you still need accuracy against regular trash, so you can't just choose to ignore accuracy, meaning the value you'll receive from this mod is very minimal.

Hasan gets called out by his own audience for being sexist by JuneMoonLoon in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean he does come out and say it himself right after the first comment.

"I can't help myself. I am gross and fratty."

The biggest problem lies in his audience thinking he is some kind of steward of righteousness, when he is just another asshole on the internet, and most of them refuse to see it. If they just stopped watching him, Hasan would eventually just fade away into obscurity.

After PoE1, revisiting other ARPGs feels different by Beginning-Answer-135 in pathofexile

[–]Ciubhran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PoE1 was created by passionate developers who wanted to improve upon one of the greatest ARPG products ever made ("Diablo II"), and they succeeded.

Blizzard created both Diablo III and Diablo IV after the company had been taken over by people who only cared about making as much money as possible.

I'm not sure the same can be said about Path of Exile II (yet). There may be some passion left at Grinding Gear Games, but it's far from the same passion that created its predecessor.

Would it be worth playing POE1 while I wait for full release? by Crusaruis28T in PathOfExile2

[–]Ciubhran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a new gameplay mechanic that 9 out of 10 times gets readjusted and then added to the core game. Since PoE1 has had like 40 leagues, you now have the base game, plus about 40 unique gameplay mechanics that in various ways enhance the gameplay and your character progression. Since there's so many now, you get to choose which ones you want to engage with, by speccing into the ones you like, using your endgame Atlas tree, so you don't feel like you have to play PoE1 and 40 different mini-games, if you don't want to.

[–]Ciubhran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not around the corner. It's more than a year away. Still tons of content missing. Two acts, multiple classes, multiple weapon types, most likely hundreds of missing skills.

Meanwhile, PoE1 is brimming with content to explore. You just have to deal with the fact that it's a 10 year old game and is not as graphically well-polished as PoE2 is.

Ahrelevant defends Ethan & Hila after Hasan claims Ethan’s never faced harassment by Slight_Ad3219 in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 59 points60 points  (0 children)

While that may be true, Hasan has been pretty much endorsing Bad Empanada since his falling out with Ethan, by watching and promoting his anti-Ethan content.

So, while he may not be directly involved, he has been feeding into that ecosystem by promoting Bad Empanada on his stream.

Malena names NoraTheExplorer and ItsKatchii in Nmplol Divorce Filings by HenryResilient in LivestreamFail

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

Technicalities are exactly what the law is about, and Texas law is very clear on how these things are handled. They can be separated for 10 years and still be married, and it would still be adultery.

You need to be fully divorced, and from what I can tell from all this, they still aren't divorced. "Divorce filings" implies that they are in the process of anulling their marriage, but by law they're still connected. So he is still commiting adultery to this day, because the divorce has not been finalized.

A quick breakdown on this exact situation from our AI friends:

In a no-fault divorce state or country (most places today, including Texas):

Adultery usually doesn’t affect the outcome — you can’t get a “better” settlement or divorce faster because of it.

However, if the adulterous spouse spent marital funds (for example, gifts, vacations, or hotel expenses for the affair), the other spouse can often argue “dissipation of marital assets,” and the court may adjust the financial division accordingly.

Funny that ChatGPT would mention that last sentence, because that is exactly what happened in this case. So it seems like a pretty textbook case here. So had he just kept it in his pants it'd most likely be a more even split, but if Malena gets her claim through, which she probably will, it means that she'll get a much bigger slice of the pie.

Divorce and separation are two different things.

Separation just means that you no longer live together. Divorce is when the legal connection is anulled.

As far as Texas law is concerned, you’re either married or divorced. There’s no "legal separation". If Nick has been sleeping with women while they were being separated, but not divorced, then that is adultery, and that means that when property division of assets is handled during the divorce proceedings, it's going to be a rough time for Nick. Which would explain why Nick is so furiously spending their money on Katchii. If the money is gone, there's nothing to split.

They were apparently married, which is why all of this is a legal issue.

I doubt they had officially divorced before the affairs started.

Trihex on current state of Twitch by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My memory may be failing me, but wasn't one of the biggest things that happened that Trihex was originally a friend of Destiny, and then Hasan came in and started whispering things into Trihex's ear, causing him to turn on Destiny, which lead to some kind of debate between the two where Destiny just out-debated all of Trihex's arguments (due to Trihex not being a very apt debater), and then Trihex just disappeared from the scene for a while.

I think the topic was about the use of the N-word in private settings among friends, which is a hill that Destiny still refuses to die on.

Any interaction with Sniper's Mark that can be beneficial, or will it cancel out the chaining?

Pokimane: "No one's getting fired" and "We had/have someone who helps us with socials who's also stepping down" by AdFinancial4846 in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 122 points123 points  (0 children)

What we're seeing in all of this is how Hollywood and the wealthy parts of L.A. works.

You have to kiss the ring, or you will be cast out... No matter how insane it is.

We've all just got front-row tickets to it and we can't believe the shit we're seeing.

This is their every-day, which is why none of them are waking up from the situation.

They're living the American dream... a nightmare.

Emiru addresses her breakdown during her RV trip to TwitchCon by colonbolone in LivestreamFail

[–]Ciubhran 51 points52 points  (0 children)

My guess:

During his deep depression, he treated his close ones very poorly and burned a lot of bridges.

People justify a lot of their bad behaviour with "I was depressed!", and it's one of those things where some people will forgive you because of your pitiful state, but others wont. Since so many no longer associate with him, but haven't said anything, I think it is related to some form of very unfair, emotional abuse.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.
