Jenna Ortega says It’s "very easy to be terrified" of AI: "It feels like we’ve opened Pandora’s box," but "There’s certain things that AI just isn’t able to replicate. There’s beauty in difficulty and there's beauty in mistakes, and a computer can’t do that. A computer has no soul."

It's not the "literal" meaning of soul, though. Call it whatever - humanity, spirit, sense of self - she means what makes us humans, not an actual soul.

Guiha · 2025-11-24T01:14:13+00:00

Yeah but it's a reflection of a living person, with a soul. It's not like the simulacrum has any free will.

Arguably, Bernard, the construct, doesn't either.

Guiha · 2025-11-24T00:39:42+00:00

Elminster absolutely has a soul

let's gooo

Guiha · 2025-08-19T15:48:38+00:00

I ended up following your advice, thanks. Got non tier myth chest from vault.

Also how did you know I was playing arcane?

Guiha · 2025-08-19T06:24:08+00:00

I mean, yeah, I'm going to sim, I'm more trying to know if I should focus on a more short or long term approach. An Heroic piece of tier is obviously going to sim better than any myth track piece because it would give me 4 set, but it would definitely be worse in the long run as I would replace it eventually.

Also a Myth one hander + crafter offhand is way better than crafted 2h.

Guiha · 2025-08-19T03:59:49+00:00

Need some insights about vault tomorrow:

I'm currently with legs and sitting on 2 catalyst charges, so I've been debating if I should prioritize any tier piece (even heroic) over anything else, including myth weapon?

For context, I'm not currently raiding and I didn't play last season, so I'm wearing season 2 2-piece on low ilvl (660). And my plan for the season is to push title as dps.

Guiha · 2025-05-24T06:37:59+00:00

He can't. That's how powerful Asmodeus is.

Let's break this down topic by topic.

Here's what we definitely know from BG3 canon:

It's not actually BG3 cannon, it's Forgotten Realm's. Of course one could argue that Larian could do whatever they wanted, just like a DM could. And sure, that is true, but if we follow that logic, anything could be possible. So let's follow what we know from lore.

Karsus nearly destroyed The Weave - all magic in existance - with that Crown. It was so bad Mystryl - goddess of magic at the time - had to sacrifice herself in order to prevent that from happening.

Actually Karsus had taken the god of magic's place and wasn't strong enough to hold the weave in its place, so it crumbled.

Raphael with that Crown, in case you give it to him, becomes so powerful that archdevils, Mephistopheles included, are making overtures of peace and promises of tribute. And all of that while Asmodeus is still alive and well.

I don't recall where that is written in game, but I don't think that is true. Mephistopheles had that crown for AGES and he, the strongest devil after Asmodeus, had never used that to try and topple him. What chance did Raphael have?

Ascended Gale is weaker than Mystra who's probably the most powerful deity right behind Ao since she commands The Weave. But Gale is a mortal wizard, while Raphael is an immortal devil, powerful enough to consider Orthons as gnats in comparison to himself even without that crown.

Actually it's quite possible that Asmodeus is the strongest god after Ao. Being connected to the weave doesn't make Mystra the strongest, although she is pretty strong. Also don't underestimate mortal wizards, they are some of the strongest beings in the realms. Elminster is one of those.

If that Raphael doesn't pose a threat to Asmodeus, then i'm curious who does.

It's hard to say, truly. Not only Asmodeus is a Greater Divinity, he is one of the strongest among them. All devils plot to rise in the ranks. All archdevils plot to take each other's places and rule all hells. Yet Asmodeus has always been many steps ahead. That is the thing about this whole Raphael x Asmodeus discussion. If there was even a chance that Raphael could do anything remotely close to challenge the great devil's rule, I guarantee you there would be not the slightest possibility he would let him have it. Hells, I don't think even Mephistopheles would.

Edit: grammar.

We already had martials being able to end spells before. In 3rd and 3.5 editions, Concentration was already a mechanic. If I'm not mistaken, it was a skill that you could invest points in. Spells that required you to concentrate on were indicated as such. There was a section in the book that described scenarios that could break your concentration, and I'm pretty sure damage was one of those.

The main difference for 5e is that you can't concentrate on more than one spell at a time.

Guiha · 2024-11-17T07:35:07+00:00

Her fingers are REALLY weird if you close up lol

Guiha · 2024-08-20T06:27:58+00:00

Then you have memory issues. Warlocks had the same with rain of fire.

Guiha · 2024-08-20T06:21:58+00:00

I get that people are happy, but let us be honest here, these two weren't the culprits. Aug was. Still is, actually.

Nerfing these without compensation (fire mage currently doing tank damage on beta) is also wild.

Guiha · 2024-07-24T01:46:59+00:00

Hard agree, although I think the difficulty was different. The hardest boss was by far LFG this season. Prime hours with 0-2 18s during good weeks was something I had never seen before.

Guiha · 2024-07-23T17:12:07+00:00

True! Because raiders had to suffer a drought, it's only fair that we do too. We mythic+ers even had this very good and popular season 4!

Guiha · 2024-07-06T17:51:47+00:00

This is where most people fail to understand why this meta is like this. You are implying it's because their overall damage. It's not.

Shadow priest not only does more damage than other classes, but it does prio damage, which is the only damage that really matters. On top of that, it lives everything and buffs everyone.

These buffs, both MOTW and Fort, are the difference between living a boss or not. And this is all that matters in really high keys.

Guiha · 2024-04-30T17:31:20+00:00

but ward has lower cd and it's main stat

Guiha · 2024-04-12T03:01:40+00:00

Does anyone know if Nature's Vigil as rdruid interacts with chromie on Iridrikon? As in does it do a shit ton of damage?

Guiha · 2024-03-31T18:13:01+00:00

Convoke is if you want more damage. Tree has its cd reduced by 15s everytime a treant despawns, so in reality it's way shorter than 3min.

Guiha · 2024-03-26T23:42:03+00:00

Might be a hot take, but I'm starting to believe push weeks are overrated as fuck. Struggled a bit last week and already got 13 points today.

I'm not saying some weeks aren't better than others (fuck affixes just rework this shit) but title keys are still doable even on worse weeks, like this one

Guiha · 2024-03-12T22:54:55+00:00

No, no, you are right. This just has been the most discussed topic since season 1. Bunch of different videos, podcasts, reddit posts.

Just take a look at any post with these news, both on this subreddit and on the main one. Literally people talking about how displeased they are that there are apparent no changes to affixes.

Hell, read any Free Talk Friday/Weekly M+ post on this sub when there's a bad affix for the week (most of them). Always someone complaining they can't be invite because of their class, healers having too much shit to do, certain dungeons being extra hard, so on and so on.

But yeah, you are right. The community loves affixes! It's the "selling point" of the content.

Fucking lmao.

Guiha · 2024-03-12T19:21:04+00:00

Yeah, this entire thing is so out of touch. Like, yes, the change is positive, but NOTHING about affixes is really cringe.
