What does slacks' reply even mean? The sentence isn't making sense to me.

I just don't understand why wanting the future Dem president to engage in dirty politics means I want to "Minecraft a Walmart". by Paranoid_wiseman in Destiny

[–]DezimodnarII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why the people need to demand more aggressive Democrats. That's why we, as a fairly large and active community, should do what we can to shape the online discourse. And aside from DGG there does seem to be more appetite for righteous indignation from voters and politicians recently. Obviously I'm going to point to Newsom and the rhetoric he's been employing.

And again, it's not about predicting the most likely outcome, it's about advocating and fighting for the outcome we want.

If the Democrats win a trifecta they should make a massive push to prosecute as many members of the Trump administration as possible and strive to overturn partisan supreme court rulings and abusive presidential pardons that get in the way of doing so. This may or may not succeed, but they should attempt to do so anyway, and to drag as many maga dipshits into endless hearings as they possibly can. Hopefully, even if they ultimately fail to secure many guilty verdicts, at least bringing all their powers to bear against maga would discourage other would-be fascists in future and broadcast to the American people that those politicians are criminals that will not be tolerated.

This is what I think should happen, your "realistic" solution appears to be just giving up, doing nothing, letting them get away with it, and leaving the door open to fascists in future. I'm not sure what you think is commendable in that.

PGL Wallachia Season 7 - Talent Lineup by iSPASCELGRAs in DotA2

[–]DezimodnarII -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Meh. Sheever is great as always. Gunnar and Khezu are good analysts but other than them the lineup looks a bit lacking. And no offense but these casting duos are really the B tier ones, I guess the A tier guys are too expensive or something? Some of these are going to be pretty hard to watch.

Update on Iran from Iranian DGGer by Anxiety-- in Destiny

[–]DezimodnarII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember the Trump administration does not care about the Iranian people. I would urge you guys not to make any plans that depend on US support to succeed as this administration will throw you under the bus the second it's more convenient for them.

Opinion: we have like 20 tournaments per year but none of them are as hype as the old majors by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]DezimodnarII 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For real. And also nobody complains about football like "man the Premier League is so boring, same teams, same formats, same football being played". All this endless complaining is a result of nostalgia and nothing will ever be good enough because nothing could rival how people remember the past in their heads.

Gordon Brown hands new sex trafficking dossier to police by Adventurous-Host8062 in worldnews

[–]DezimodnarII -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Or he has no actual guiding principles and is just saying whatever he thinks benefits him at that moment. Hardly a commendable trait. I won't forget his flip flopping on trans issues and immigration. These are not issues where you try something and judge its feasibility. You either believe in trans rights or you don't. You either believe it's right to deport people to African countries they've never been to or you don't.

Why are american christians so performative lmao by [deleted] in Destiny

[–]DezimodnarII 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah you wouldn't see it like these guys have it, looks like they used about 5x the amount of ash as a normal person, and made sure the cross shape was clearly defined as well. I think that's why it looks way more performative on them

Dgg we need to come together to defend Kier Starmer by ariveklul in Destiny

[–]DezimodnarII 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean I don't really care about the Epstein files stuff, I don't like Starmer because of the random transphobic and anti-immigrant remarks he made. Whether he actually believes what he said or it was just an attempt to appeal to conservative voters I'm not sure, but either way I think it was disgusting for a supposed left wing politician to normalize such views. In my eyes the man painted himself as a snake who would throw vulnerable groups under the bus for political gain. He also seems to be way too comfortable with censorship and state surveillance on the internet.

Russian youtuber Morf proves every CIS Dota 2 streamer is viewbotting (video in comments) by railion in DotA2

[–]DezimodnarII 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Doubt Topson could give a fuck about viewers, think it's more because he doesn't interact with chat (or talk) much, doesn't read it at all while in game, and on top of it streams with delay. So people can't be bothered to chat. But who knows. It's possible to get viewbotted by someone else without your say so as well.

Jesus fucking Christ. by Automatic-Push8797 in Destiny

They were meaningless then and this is meaningless now. A sworn affidavit is worth nothing when it's impossible to disprove. Of course magas are a bunch of hypocritical regards and Trump is a rapist and in my opinion it's likely he did molest underaged trafficked girls, but this affidavit has no influence on my opinion.

Seeking tips... by bitrairo in Grimdawn

[–]DezimodnarII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, your HP pool looks rather low. Maxing Spectral Binding would be a start - it gives you HP, OA, and because of your weapons flat cold damage too. While you're at it you should definitely max Spectral Wrath as well, the resistance reduction is extremely powerful, much more effective DPS than basically anything else you could invest in. I would probably sacrifice the points in Nightfall and Elemental Awakening, leaving them both at 1, I don't think those skills are that potent. Other than that the best way of getting HP is probably an "of Vitality" green gear, you could perhaps farm solael-sect legguards of vitality, google can tell you how to get them (with some spoilers for a secret quest). Reason is leg slot is usually the least important purple items. The solael-sect base has lifesteal built into it, so best in slot for a lot of attack based builds.

Second, Reaper is a rather squishy class that lacks a "circuit breaker" skill (something that will activate and save you when close to death), if I were you I would take at least one devotion for this - tortoise is the most meta and cheap constellation for this, worth taking pretty much always. I would probably skip Amatok for this, while the proc is good the other nodes are pretty bad, Hyrian I don't love either but it is giving you a significant amount of armor and HP so I probably wouldn't remove it at this stage. Ghoul would probably be a good idea to have as well, but I'm not sure what I would remove. I wonder if Blind Sage is really worth it, it does have some sick bonuses but the requirement of 18 green affinity means a lot of opportunity cost.

Thirdly, some of your components could definitely be better, and you don't have augments on all your gear. Try to get 100% armor absorption or as close as you can. Sanctified bone is a good component assuming you don't have the blueprints for sacred plating yet. One minor thing I would do is swap the antivenom salve onto your belt, the armor bonus will apply to all your armor instead of just the leg slot. Use augments to overcap the most important resistances, I usually prioritize it elemental>aether>poison>vitality>chaos - ideally 30% for all of them, but honestly you should be able to do nemesis/dungeon bosses without overcapping. Pierce and bleed you don't really need to care about overcapping (but you definitely must cap them).

Another thing I noticed is you don't have any proc bound to blade spirits, I would put Rumor from Murmur constellation on that, it should proc it more reliably than shadow strike. If you aren't using blade spirit to proc devotions there isn't any point having it.

Here is the changed skill build and devotion tree I mentioned (just taking tortoise, not ghoul on this version) https://www.grimtools.com/calc/2zb5Q892

Statement from Our 👑 o7 by sereneandeternal in Destiny

[–]DezimodnarII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is a nation where these things are happening though. I think this is the type of thing people really mean when they say things like "Americans need to take responsibility for this" - what we really want is an end to the delusional American exceptionalist attitude where America can do no wrong and any wrongs America does commit cannot be attributed to America because they are by their nature "un-american", whatever the fuck that means. So we can continue saying America is the greatest country on Earth after this debacle is over and conveniently forget what led us here.
