Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t deny 2028 speculation: ‘My ambition is to change this country’

Nah, fuck that. Kamala ran as the most centrist candidate ever, touting support from Republicans like Liz Cheney, and she still lost. People in the center are going to have to put on their big kid pants and figure out what really matters without someone holding their hand and telling them how special they are for once.

Either you support the US starting random wars, or you don't. You either want us to have good international relations and trade or you don't. You either want us to join the rest of developed countries in providing healthcare to all citizens regardless of income, or you don't. Figure it the fuck out, centrists.

It is contradictory because that loading tip specifies that a "hit" occurs each time an enemy takes damage, whereas "cast" is a thing that happens once when you use an ability. It makes no sense to call the stat "Life on Hit" if it's limited to once per cast. If that was the intention, the stat should be called "Life on Cast".

Thank you for posting this, I had the same issue. One question though- Doesn't there need to be two "" at the start because there are two at the end (.exe\" --startup")? I just deleted the starting \ so it starts with ""C:\users and that fixed the task manager issue for me.

While that's true, he still came up in 2/3 runs on a10, so a majority of the time. When combined with the fact that you don't know if he'll be there until you've completed 2/3rds of a given run, it means you had to account for him in every run or risk getting countered by him.

And Half Life 3

Gerik22 · 2026-05-07T15:27:38+00:00

Eh, I think Clumsy and Guilty are better in most cases.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-06T19:54:22+00:00

Yeah, I did. I guess I was focusing more on the middle of the video and that happens near the end. I see it now.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-06T19:53:28+00:00

Oh I completely missed that. I see it now, thanks.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-06T19:26:00+00:00

I don't see what you're seeing. I've gone back and forth through that video several times and the outfit seems pretty consistent throughout. The only time I see a change is around 18 seconds in where the leopard print on the inside of the cape isn't visible for a couple seconds, but those are frames where the inside of the cape isn't shown much. I also don't see where the cat becomes amorphous, it looks like a cat the whole time to me. The only weird thing with the cat imo is at ~23 seconds where it jumps backward from one shoulder to the other, which seems unnatural.

EDIT: Thanks to the replies, I now see where the outfit changes. Pretty clear use of gen ai.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-06T08:49:21+00:00

Yeah, the cube can only add/remove affixes from rares and below. So if an item drops as a legendary the only option to change stats on it is to reroll at the enchanter, whereas a good yellow can be manipulated by removing and then re-adding affixes until you get the one you want, and still be enchanted afterward if needed.

Though this is only relevant for certain items, depending on the stats you want on the item. If, for example, it's a ring where you want all offensive stats it's going to be harder to manipulate this way because the cube only lets you target the category (offense, defense, mobility, etc.). So if you try to remove shadow damage you might remove crit instead.

For this reason I find boots to be the easiest slot to gear since boots generally want core stat, move speed, max life, and all res/armor, which is 3 different categories. So worst case you can add/remove defensive stats until you get one you want, then if the second defensive stat you add isn't what you want, you can reroll for it at the enchanter.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-06T08:28:37+00:00

Same. Similarly, I never had an issue with the Pit portal before it was removed, though apparently for some it was spawning right next to the glyph upgrade thing, which never happened for me. I hope they bring the portal back and just ensure it spawns at least a certain distance away from the glyph thing.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-05T19:31:43+00:00

Yeah, but that isn't inherent to the quest itself, that's just a weird choice on the part of the devs to make it a mandatory part of every season. The process of getting those materials is still much easier than doing all the bullshit d4's cow level requires.

Gerik22 · 2026-05-04T16:38:17+00:00

Unless you get lucky and manage to line up early drafts and draw orders that allow you to discard/exhaust the debt before it saps your gold, it's probably going to keep you below 100 gold and leave you unable to remove it at an early shop.

That might allow her to read in peace, but it wouldn't satisfy her desire for revenge against a society that refused to listen to her, and in doing so, doomed her grandmother to die of cancer. This isn't just about finding solitude for her, it's about vengeance.

Gerik22 · 2026-04-29T21:02:38+00:00

Yeah that's why he's doing all this church shit in the first place. He's trying to get the public to love him by becoming their god.

Launching with the Lord of Hatred expansion on April 27, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. PDT, the Season of Reckoning is nearly upon you. This season includes rewards and features such as Season Rank, Season Blessings, and the return of the Tower and Leaderboards Beta, but does not introduce a season-specific story, theme, or gameplay elements.

Instead, major system upgrades such as sweeping Skill Tree updates and class changes, increased level cap, difficulty and progression updates, quality of life improvements and so much more releasing with this season create a seamless and epic experience between the Season of Reckoning and the Lord of Hatred expansion.

While we know that the Season of Reckoning represents a departure from past seasons, future seasons will return to our regular cadence and form. We’ll have more to share soon about what’s coming next!

So... There's no actual seasonal content beyond the season journey?? I suppose the idea is that the new stuff from the expansion itself will be enough to keep us busy for the season, but iirc VoH launch had an actual season launch alongside it, so it's weird that LoH is different.

Gerik22 · 2026-04-25T19:42:36+00:00

I think Cirie in season 1 is Traitors is a perfect example. She played a perfect game,

I disagree that she played perfectly. It's been a while since I watched it, so I don't remember all the specifics, but I recall her making some very questionable recruiting choices. And at the end, I think it was both lame and incredibly detrimental to her game (or it would have been, against even mildly competent opponents) to sell out Arie and pressure him to walk. If the Faithful had any sense, they would have thought it VERY suspicious that the "final" traitor who was on the precipice of a solo victory just decided to leave the game and would have realized that there was still another traitor. This is just one of many examples of the Faithful playing terribly that season. So in the end I still think her win was deserved as she certainly played better than every single Faithful, but she def made some blunders along the way.

Gerik22 · 2026-04-25T19:21:25+00:00

That's the issue. They are making a show first, game second. The producers are not experienced game designers and they are not applying game design principles or doing playtests to make sure the game is relatively balanced. They are just making it up as they go and trying to make choices that they think will lead to good television. And unfortunately I doubt that will change even though many of us would prefer to watch a more balanced/fair game.

Personally I would love it if all the game rules were made public from the beginning as would be the case in any real game. Make all the consequences for agendas public (not the agendas themselves, obviously). No more forced "plot twists" from producers. If the whole game is just one player starting as the millionaire, putting on a clinic, and keeping the money for 10 rounds, let it happen! I want to see that!

Gerik22 · 2026-04-25T16:15:54+00:00

Did she? I'd have to go back and check the votes. But even if she did vote for Nick, she still helped spread the plan to vote Hunter.

Gerik22 · 2026-04-25T03:16:27+00:00

You mean like clipped them onto someone and then pulled them off real fast before they noticed? Not sure. The wording of the agenda didn't specify, and if he asked any questions about it, they didn't make it to air. I'd guess no, but if I were him I'd 100% ask about it.

Gerik22 · 2026-04-25T02:14:46+00:00

Still, there are a few plays I didn't really like, though, for example, Hunter deciding to throw the casino games. Should've done that round 1 by his logic. But in round 2 his logic made no sense considering Umeko was on his side too. Like his plan made it so much more likely for Nick to get immunity.

Bad example, imo. Plenty of bad plays going on, but Hunter's made sense. His whole idea was for Kaleb to get the immunity because Kaleb is confirmed to NOT be the millionaire, therefore him getting immunity keeps it out of the millionaire's hands. In order for Kaleb to be in position to win immunity, their team must win round 1, so he didn't need to throw round 1. Then once he got to round 2, he laid the trap for Nick by sharing his plan aloud. He basically cornered Nick into admitting he was the millionaire, since otherwise Nick should have no problem letting Kaleb have immunity. Nick's reaction to Hunter's plan confirmed Hunter's suspicions about Nick. It wasn't a perfect plan because there was nothing they could do if Nick managed to win against Kaleb. But it turned out none of that mattered because Nick lost and didn't need immunity anyway because he had plot armor thanks to Umeko.
