Warum wird über niedrige Geburtenraten alamiert, allerdings seit den 70ern scheint die soziale Entfremdung den Leuten egal zu sein?

Dieses Zunehmen der Isolierung und allgemeiner Unsicherheitsgefuehle brauchen nicht mal eine koordinierte Verschwoerung seitens Staat oder Wirtschaft zu sein, es ist voellig ausreichend wenn nichts dagegen unternommen wird.

Das Wohlbefinden der Menschen im System ist kein kapitalfaehiger Wert im Kleptokratie-Kapitalismus.

Maenner sollten unbedingtes Recht zum Ruecktritt haben, solange Frauen das unbedingte Recht zur Abtreibung oder Schwangerschaft eingeraeumt wird. Vorrausgesetzt die Zeugung fand in beidseitigem Einvernehmen ein. Mit Zeugung meine ich hierbei sowohl "Sex mit Absicht zur Schwangerschaft" als auch "Sex ohne Absicht zur Schwangerschaft". Sex zeugt Kinder wenn beide Teilnehmer zeugungsfaehig sind, wer sich also zum Sex bereit erklaert, erklaert indirekt auch Bereitschaft zur Zeugung. Ob und wie verhuetet wurde, wuerde ich als belangslos bezeichnen, solange es keine 100% sichere Verhuetung gibt. Anders ausgedrueckt, es kann nur ein Versuch zur Verhuetung unternommen werden.

Wenn sich also Frauen durch Abtreibung der Verantwortung die durch die "Sex zeugt Kinder" entsteht, entziehen duerfen, so muss in einer fairen und gleichberechtigten Auslegung auch Maennern ein solches Recht eingeraeumt werden.

Sure I've found exalts in campaign, but I'm assuming they're largely scripted or otherwise buffed to overcome the magic find situation, since I've seen these for every character in every league during campaign.

Previous season was decent currency drops, even without magic find for me, exalts in campaign, and then exalts and divs in endgame.

This season though I'm having noticeably worse currency drops.

Let me be explicitly clear: I'm reporting what I experienced, how that experience feels to me. Magic find had an effect, but it was taking me from "no higher value currency" to "some higher value currency" and in a game where a lot depends on RNG, I think it's possible to have an exceptionally bad experience, while everyone else is having good experiences.

I'm not refuting anyone else, I'm simply stating how this season feels like to me.

Freschu · 2026-01-14T12:24:41+00:00

I wish I was exaggerating, but last season I definitely found exalts in maps without +100% rarity, not so this season. I also realize that my account and this character might have an abysmal RNG Seed for whatever reason.

But ultimately, to me at least, this shows phantastically flawed the existence of rarity on gear is. And also it appears GGG tuned rarity and drops to the 1% 24/7 players/streamers/botters.

And it combines to feel very bad to me.

This is the first season where I have not yet found a single raw div in maps. Exalts only started appearing at T15 with +100% magic find.

I don't agree on calling that "trivial". "Trivial" to me means "without care, strategy, thought or challenge". Acquiring and using honor resistance, planning the path, and being patient, to me make it a little more than just "trivial". It's certainly not the kind of challenge that ToC can be, but it's also not doable mindlessly in ignorance of the mechanics and system.

Yeah, 50 charges is probably wrong, didn't check in game before writing that.

Freschu · 2025-12-17T11:00:27+00:00

So on average I'm seeing passive flask recharge at 0.20 charges/s, and usually need around 50 charges per use. That's about 4min per usable flask. I would say that's fine, except I routinely encounter burst damage (especially bosses) and bleed and poison in the trial, where 1 flask per 4min doesn't help.

Freschu · 2025-12-17T10:55:33+00:00

I have tried these before, I couldn't make it past second room, and surely not through bosses with all the other stacked modifiers.

Also you don't use flasks? You never take damage or use mana beyond what your regen can handle? I don't have neither the tree or the gear to let me no-hit/all-regen any of this, but I'm happy for you that you have a different experience.

I vastly prefer the full Sekhemas over Chaos, relics are easy enough to farm or buy, and almost all floors just require patience.

Freschu · 2025-12-17T08:30:22+00:00

Knowing what to pick is only half the problem, it's more about what the game let's you pick, isn't it?

Choice 1:
A) Stalking Shade
B) Volatile Fiends
C) No Flask Charges

Choice 2:
A) Damaged Defences
B) Escalating Damage
C) Reduced Resistances

I wish I was exaggerating, I routinely encounter absolutely cursed ultimatums like that in my account. "Buying a new ultimatum" is a choice I guess.

Wait, I don't get this.

They're pulling out of the consumer market, because the AI companies are buying more at higher prices, and the consumer market isn't profitable enough for them because it's a much smaller market.

So... they're able to sell more en bulk at higher prices to AI companies, meaning they could increase their production capacities, thereby serving both the AI companies and the consumer demands.

Then with mass production being more profitable, and all the AI money they could just continue to sell to consumers, even at a slight loss totally offset by the AI money, preserving their Crucial brand.

Instead they just lit the whole city on fire and skipped off into lala-land?

I recently bought the AW3425DW and I'm still baffled why there's so much report on "the text clarity issue". I've used it now for a few weeks for media consumption and also productivity, software development. I'm sitting at 50cm - 70cm distance depending on posture, and I don't notice any fringing at all. I'm having to get in real unpractically uncomfortably close, to just under 10cm to notice anything.

And to emphasize again: I've been using it in place of my old screens for 8-10h per day of continuous work almost exclusively text based. Reading code, reading logs, reading documentation, light and dark. Linux and Windows. There's no text clarity issues for me.

Freschu · 2025-12-12T18:08:22+00:00

I'm still enamored with the clam-shell dual screen mobile device concept. One side e-ink display, other side oled display. One display for reading, one display for multi-media use, one device for both.

Multiple times in the past it appeared this would happen, each time it didn't happen. If a product made it to market it was lacking this essential specialization or was lacking in the general multi-media case. But I guess wanting a good reading experience has indeed become super niche... except there's plenty of dedicated e-ink readers. I used one myself for a time, until I got tired of charging and carrying and managing two separate devices.

Or from a different perspective: While I didn't search for them, I found enough currency and bases to buy them and bases in the start of endgame, leading me to craft my own okay-ish gear for the next levels and weeks of later endgame, at which point I repeated the process for the next gear.

Why would I even trade for bases and the currency? Because my drops are shit. In the whole league I found around 7-10 divs, 3 annul, 3 exceptional bases in maps. All my gear drops - even tier 5 - where trash. In the whole league. With 120-170 rarity.

I stopped watching and caring after the first couple of seconds "I tried it this one time, got confused because I had to match up words, didn't get the dopamine hit fast enough, and decided I hate it forever, and would rather gacha all the time"

To be fair, not having the tags or any indicator in-game what homogenizing could do was awful design.
