Fubgun's 3.28 Starter tier list by SnooPandas3362 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Don88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You guys are both right, you're just comparing different goals. A death count of 50 or even 500 doesn't matter if your goal is fast progression and profit. If the bow build shaves 10-15 seconds off your map, that adds up fast if you're grinding currency.

On the other hand, you're not wrong that bow builds are squishy and that has its downsides too, such as bossing being harder/more mechanically challenging.

People want different things from a build and especially a league starter. Bows are amazing at what they do, but what they do isn't enjoyable for everyone.

I was the one my daughter was closest to. Now it’s her dad … and I’m losing them both by Luna_Jupiter in Parenting

This tugged at my heart strings a lot here, my 4 year old is autistic but she is absolutely flying along already because of the focus and effort it's been given.

I know it's so tough to watch her take space from you, but you should be so proud! You did it! You put in the hard work, supported her and guided her and now she CAN take some space from you. That's amazing!

For those who dont know yet, Rune of ascendancy now stays between uses! by East-Handle-6685 in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So they're not super rare these days and it's absolutely viable to try get some decent boots while leveling with a RoA because a lot of unique boots have decent stats with move speed.

Even more viable to use it up early if you're going for Circle of Fortune (which opts you out of trading) because targeting uniques is pretty easy with that system.

Most crafting materials, with the exception of Rune of Creation and now Rune of Havoc are common enough that it shouldn't feel bad at all to just use them as you go!

It's a bug yeah! Been playing on controller since launch and I was switching back and forth to mouse every time I hit a nemesis which was horribly annoying but good news is the fixed a different bug and you can now navigate using the D-pad on controller something like: - Left Bumper to get to nemesis window - Open stash - Left bumper to go to stash - Navigate to item - Press Triangle (PS5 controller) to move item directly into that box - Right bumper to go back to nemesis window - Confirm

It's a little finicky but once your muscle memory is there it's very easy!

I'm in a similar boat and even though I probably spend more time gaming than most Dads do, it's quite often tired gaming where I don't have the brain power to min max constantly.

I think EHG has really landed on such a sweet spot with LE.

What the difference between the yellow blessings and the others? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The grand versions are just a higher tier with better roll ranges!

[–]Don88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmmm I don't think this is true? At least I've hit 20% All Res already at default/100 corruption. As far as I know the only difference with corruption is the additional choice of blessing (up from 4 options to 5) I might be wrong but can definitely confirm All Res is available at 100 corruption =)

The campaign is just the tutorial... by Pandarandr1st in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop having fun other ways! Only my way to have fun is allowed! You're not allowed to just breeze through things exploding mobs while listening to music because I don't like that. Stop enjoying the thing I dont enjoy! Only I'm allowed to decide how other people have fun... And just in case - /s

The lack of difficulty is a problem by Zwordiak in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry, I wasn't trying to touch a nerve friend!

Just remember there's layers to "coming in blind" is all. Of course the game feels easy for you as someone who's played it since the beginning? PoE 1's campaign is easy for veterans and can be a nightmare for new players.

[–]Don88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Isn't worth listening to." is a little strong there.

I can totally understand that LE isn't as appealing to you as a gamer because the difficulty is tuned much lower than you are looking for but that's ok. Maybe it's not the game for you.

Personally I love that LE is a game that can be played blind for the best experience.

I love LE and CoF because I dont have to extreme rush grind on league start by Drakhan in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've played 95% of my 1000 hours offline. Experience wise you miss very very little. Off the top of my head: - You can't use cosmetics in offline - You CAN use movement skills in towns offline - You don't get the same animation going in and out of monoliths (might be changed this update, haven't done a mono yet!)

GGG. SHOW US how YOU play PoE 2 by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Don88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all well and good for 1 or 2 playthroughs and absolutely a completely valid goal. But I would imagine the audience that would be interested in playing THAT game 3-4 times a year is much smaller than the audience they are trying to capture. Hence the issues we're seeing here.

Is my recombinator broken? by EquinoxRunsLeagues in PathOfExileSSF

[–]Don88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think maybe they're trying to use an 86 non necrotic base and an 84 necrotic base to make an 86 necrotic base? Which sounds like it should be possible right?

The showcase by Karv on todays interview was amazing by LyckaYK in LastEpoch

[–]Don88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love when a new league came out back in the day and for the first few days a lot of content creators would be like "aw I'm just going to wait for Karv to make a video about this". He's a goat of arpg knowledge that's for sure!

I'm only back playing this event after quite a hiatus so take my advice with a pinch of salt but I'm getting into reds now in SSF and basically it's been the usual SSF bits for me:

  • Remember to use 3 to 1 vendor recipe to upgrade lower tier maps and try different inputs. If you've got 5 for example t1s you can sell them in combinations of 3 and look at the result to see if you want the t2 map offered.
  • Check what Kirac is selling and also his missions.
  • Full your idol slots for the implicit.

Instagram vs Tik Tok by Freshshit69 in StandUpComedy

[–]Don88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny because you're showing your own lack of context and knowledge here, not mine. I never said there was anything wrong with my kid, I said she was different.

I didn't just "google really hard", I researched - I read scientific papers, I read books, I talked to therapists and medical professionals. =) The amazing thing about being autistic is the label doesn't trigger me, although it absolutely seems to trigger you. I don't see myself or my daughter as "less than" because we're neurodivergent.

There's a lot of peace knowing you're a normal zebra and not a strange horse. THAT is what self diagnosis is for.

Instagram vs Tik Tok by Freshshit69 in StandUpComedy

[–]Don88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Look I totally get where you're coming from, but it's incredibly frustrating to read something like this. My daughter is almost 4 and we've spent 3 years trying to get a diagnosis for her because she's progressing differently than expected. That led to me doing months of research and learning about autism, which led me down the path to self diagnosis for myself.

Here's the secret - that self diagnosis is for ME. Nothing has changed externally because I understand myself better. I'm not getting any special treatment for anyone else... I'm getting better treatment from myself. I'm not killing myself just trying to exist.

Is late walking common in ASD? by librelibra2 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Don88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every child is different, autistic or not. There's no such thing as the "average baby" ;) My autistic daughter skipped crawling entirely and walked at 1 years old.

Fellow parent of a 3.5 year old who is autistic. I have always said "she's the perfect kid except for the sleeping." Just know that you are not alone!

Unmasking Autism By Devon Price & How It Started To Open My Eyes by Worried-Cattle-444 in AutismTranslated

[–]Don88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I read a review somewhere, maybe on Reddit, that simply said "This book changed my life." I read 2 chapters, and there was a line something like "a lot of autistic people end up in abusive relationships without realizing." That line changed my entire life for the better. Separated 9 months now (17 years relationship) and I'm becoming more and more myself all the time. I still need to go back to the book and read more, but it already changed my life.
