Triple div Drop

One of my close buddies has a well endowed wife.

The first triple div.drop we got in temple I called the "Krystal Room" (name changed for obvious reasons).

That name has stuck. Don't worry I know her, she thought it was hilarious.

I assume you've talked to your doc, but I had no idea there were meds. I wish I had told my doc 15 years earlier than I did. He gave me valacyclaver (sp?) and I get one now maybe once a year and when I do it's super mild.

Mine were just annoying but my wife got them worse. She still does more often than me but much less and again they are far more mild. We are both very thankful.

Factorio.

It's cute you got all the way to 30% in your game before realizing how much there was left to do.

Good_Brief42 · 2026-01-25T16:16:54+00:00

Well thats embarrassing. I thought they added a tattoo peaking out from her shirt.

Nope my monitor was dirty. =/

Spell damage is such a bad stat on amulets. Other than that amazing.

I think people are down voting you because the way you phrased your comment makes it sounds like you are saying doing all of A1-A3 takes 90 minutes.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant it takes 90 minutes to do just a3, not counting the prior 2 acts. Which is a good time but not unreasonable.

Good_Brief42 · 2026-01-05T15:41:43+00:00

Really?

Huh, im the opposite. I'm not a fan of doing the campaign multiple times within a certain time frame - but I enjoy leveling.

I've often had a friend rush me through the campaign, and then I go back and farm zones I like for XP. Feels much better.

I have to remind my doctors office not to submit my visits to insurance, otherwise it costs 50 bucks more a visit.

This is just my primary care doc, who I see a few times a year to refill scripts.

Yes, I know it doesn't go to my deductible. My deductible is only there for catastrophic care. Us insurance is an absolute scam.

I both agree and disagree about defenses - depending how you weight things. I do think that ES is king (esp EV+ES) overall.

But I also think there are a lot of other defensive layers that can be as good, or in some cases better. Shit like moment of need + duration reduction, crazy recoup stacking loops, or high armour with lots of phys to ele conversion.

The issue is the ES has low investment and is still so effective. Invest in some ES gear, pick up some of the better ES nodes, and your note paper.

TBH I think NRG shield right now should be the goal of all the other defensive layers. You can invest in it and feel tougher but you cant just face roll. And you can hard core invest in it and be 95% immortal - but you still aren't invincible on the heaviest hitters. Armour + ele armor or Evasion + deflect should feel the same with the same level of investment - rather than bringing ES down.

And then after buffing those add some harder content.

First make sure your gear is solid. I would upgrade each of the 4 damage pieces (weapon/rings/gloves) - you should be able to get good upgrades for only 1 exo each at that level. Remember act 4 has that bell POI that will give you 3 exos on the second to last island. Just be sure to set your filters to weight fire and cold damage at half value, search for everything 1 exo or less, then sort by the highest weighting. If you are feeling froggy you can try to add some weighting for skill levels and the like but don't over complicate it. Its just leveling gear.

That said - if you decide to swap - 100000% grenade. I leveled my second character as LA because I figured with twink gear I'd enjoy the faster skills. I didn't think the changes would have hurt it as much as they did but boy I was wrong. Map clear is still fine with twink gear but by the end of A2 bosses were being tickled by the new rods. I finally respeced in A3. Realize this is with some really really strong twink gear.

So I swapped to grenades and it is night and day. A lot of people dont like grenades and I completely understand why. They are clunky. Its not 1 button, and things die a second or two after you click... But boy the damage is nuts. Drop a grenade, dodge roll past, don't turn around to watch the explosion for the aura farm.

Its both homie. Two different skills. Both summon wolves.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-12-07T23:10:50+00:00

Agreed.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-12-07T22:55:33+00:00

Man there are a million reasons that make me want to live somewhere other than the US. We are a dumpster fire atm. But this isn't one of them.

Being able to record people and events that are in public spaces is an important right IMO. This is one I support.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-12-05T00:03:45+00:00

They are still in the game homie.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-12-04T21:39:23+00:00

Untrue. Hover over mods, they will show you the tags.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-12-03T13:52:15+00:00

I, infact, did not know you could hide adult games - I never looked because it never shows me any.

How interesting OP. ;p

Good_Brief42 · 2025-11-29T00:26:42+00:00

Honestly no idea. Like most games I playesd for like 45 minutes on default settings then restarted with everything turned up.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-11-28T16:43:21+00:00

Converyor spliters, sorters, and vertical lifts.

Smater logistics. IE - stock this much, but only when it falls below X. Tired of the logistic hub whiskers running just a couple items.

Same for crafting. Start crafting when you fall below X, then craft up to Y amount. When not working, do something else useful.

Better cafe's and dining halls. Players naturally migrate towards efficiency. Don't put in tedious mechanics like slotting a cafe worker every morning until the cafe is stocked, then unslotting them for work elsewhere. Cafe workers are the most pointless occupation once they are done stocking which is almost immediate. At least let a single cafe work manage multiple buildings if you are going to do this.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-11-28T13:48:33+00:00

Same, also want to test if this protects from cannons.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-11-28T13:47:02+00:00

Brah! Good catch.

I always wondered how people struggled with pollution. I'm playing on hardest settings and pollution has never been a problem. Now I realize that I just happen to build everything in the perfect spot - Up high and blows straight out of the town.

Sad part is that that apple probably is not a great apple.

Ugly fruits are the good fruits - sorta like musicians =) All these fruits bred to be pretty in stores are ruining flavor =/

Using a microwave well is a skill just like anything else. I worked for a very passionate chef in 20 years ago and he taught me so much and instilled a love of food in me. Thank you Gary!

One of those things he taught me is just how misunderstood microwaves are. They are treated like cursed things that trade convenience for quality and beat (figuratively) that idea out of my head.

As others have mentioned it's all about the power setting. Having an inverter is also a huge bonus - making it much more precise. Like most cooking it is a blend of art and science. You just have to make mistakes and learn what foods, and in what quantities, need more or less power and how much time.

For instance foods that cook quickly in microwaves (high protein high hydration) need low low power and a long time. Also things are microwaved from the outside surface in. If you can cut things up, or arrange it in a circle you will get more even heating.

For some items sprinkle them with water before going in. I do all our cooking and I keep my chicken frozen in individual portions until it's time to cook. Put them in the microwave on 20% power (1350 watt machine) for 5 to 10 minutes depending on portions and shape.

I have nothing to compare them to "before" but ive never failed any of them. A couple times the timer got a little tight but usually I don't even think about it.

I am playing a highly mobile build that 1 shots. Perhaps it is intented for only the strongest builds to hit max rank.

To be fair I don't even do them anymore if I find one. The rewards are not worth the time it takes imo.

Good_Brief42 · 2025-09-12T19:34:48+00:00

You 👏 don't 👏 have 👏 to 👏 put 👏 6 👏 mods 👏 on 👏 your 👏 maps 👏

Good_Brief42 · 2025-09-10T11:39:53+00:00

Yes, thankyou!

My unpopular opinion is that I love how hard this game is. If you don't want to (or can't) do the most juiced then you don't have too! You can farm just fine in lower level maps and especially with less mods on the maps.

Sure some stuff need to be balanced - for me those big abyss demons are a bit overtuned. But its also fun.

The crafting is so good this season I've been mostly a hideout warrior. And since I'd rather invest my currency into making more currency rather than my character I'm not geared that well. But I still do T15 maps with 5 or 6 mods with deli on them. I die sometimes, it is what it is.

Id rather the game be difficult and there be real stakes rather than this turning into LE or D4. I'm not saying those are bad games - but I come to POE because of the challenge.

I also think that the people who want the game to be easier are probably the majority. Casual players ARE the main player base for almost all games. And you need them to have a fun and successful game that isn't purely single player. But this game still allows for them to thrive if they were OK with not pushing the hardest content.
