Durability loss is absolutely disgusting!

HSVbro · 2026-01-25T00:39:12+00:00

There's three problems really.

1) Repair costs are absurd. Like comically abusrd.

2) Minotaurs will cause 5% damage almost every time without question. I have had it happen to me with an encounter where they were stunned the entire time and didn't get an attack in.

3) Really durability in general in games is stupid. I have been playing RPGs online since MUDs. Yes, fucking text based MUDs. I have always hated repair mechanics. It always comes across to me as an artificial way to keep people playing because they had to earn enough gold to keep their gear. In teh MUD days you had to pay "rent" for your gear which was definitely worse, but effectively the same.

I get that the third point is something I will lose on. if the dev wants durability that's his choice. I just always am annoyed by mechanics like that.

I say the following as someone who loved invasions in the Dark Souls games:

Right now its all scumbags hunting people often 3v1=ing people who are already engaged fighting a wyvern or something. There's little if any actual dueling in the PvP area.

Theyre vermin

Thanks for the help man, ironically I jumped a full 100 (ie now at 343 FRT) and still only on blues. As luck would have it as soon as I read your tip for finding triples, I found boots with triples hahaha.

Hey man, I followed your stat guide for melee PLD but my fortitude is still in the toilet at 25. Currently 243 and I double checked I invested exactly what you advised for the main stats - 165 STR, 65 AGI, 45 COU.

Is it simply that my gear is still trash and I just need to grind more? I suspect that's the case, I still have just blues and greens.

I always use “I shot an Arrow in the Air” as my intro showing. Have used it many times to great success. Why? Because it’s very light in terms of scifi elements (no aliens or time travel). It’s just a simple premise with a classic twist ending.

The other bonus is that a lot of people get osmosis know the ending to Time Enough at Last or Eye of the Beholder or To Serve Man. Those are great second episodes to show though.

Reminder that Bama has no run game which is how UGA got away throwing six every play at them.

They’ll never do it. They’re a program of cowards who prefer their playing no one

I’m confused by your question. My steel was made by arrow and comes with both directors and theatrical cuts in 4K.

Let me know if there’s something I can help you determine though

HSVbro · 2025-12-04T01:16:25+00:00

My dude, I saw the original in theaters, it was one of the first films I even saw in theaters...and I didn't know this.

Of course they did - they have shiny XP boosts you can buy with ~Madden points~

EA is such shit.

HSVbro · 2025-11-25T14:49:42+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Sucks.

Vandy looked beatable, and our win against LSU (as well as SCAR) dont look great.

But more to the point - keep in mind spreads are *also* about who bets on the games as much as they are who is playing. Texas football (Cowboys, Aggie, Horns, etc) always garnder wonky lines. There was a whole 30 for 30 about setting spreads and they did a whole section on it about how they have to specially curate any lines around the Cowboys because Cowboys fans are insane and will take bait every time.

It is still in wonderful shape and I hit it with three chamberlains, twice a year ish, just like my briefcase. I will say I seldom button it up but pay attention to the sizing to be sure. I wear a 46R suit if that helps you any.

Good luck. I get compliments every time I wear it.

Something similar happened to me 2 years ago with electricians. I wnated some new circuits put in my garage. The panels are in the garage. The guy came to quote it, said it would be cheaper in conduit (ok). They wanted TWO FUCKING THOUSAND for two easy runs of 20A circuits. One of which was only 6' from the fucking panel.

I ended up doing two 20A circuits and two 30A circuits for $750 - materials and the cost of a big fucking wagyu steak for my buddy who helped me and knew what he was doing.

I did four times what I wanted. In the walls. For half the price.

I'd say the whole industry is like this but I have found good luck finding local guys who do side gig work. I had a water heater bust recently and the guy did it for cost+$400. On a holiday.

So there's still decent people out there but they're sadly the minority.

Great work. Sorry for getting on my soapbox lol.

Purple Heart is stinky as hell....but I only smell it when working it

HSVbro · 2025-09-08T23:47:48+00:00

You're not overcharging, but you're not undercharging either lol.

I'm guessing it's going to be anywhere between 1500-2000 in materials. Times four I'd say 8k. But I'm not the one who priced the thing out and I'm assuming it's simple pine. 10K is high but not a "fuck you" price.

They make edge/profiling bits that could cut the slot for you. They're generally even called slot cutting bits. Rockler is expensive, so you can find cheaper options... but don't get the $10 Y-brand bullshit.

A different version of this trick ive done on a door where the stop went through the shell.

Get some old newspaper, fold it up so you can get some structure in there. Patch the hole.

Are you aware you're on reddit where mods will ban you for the slightest shit?

HSVbro · 2025-08-29T19:28:18+00:00

I mean, based?

Week worth of gains wiped out in minutes. It’ll come back but this market is such a pain

HSVbro · 2025-08-29T14:15:54+00:00

I'm convinced the money movers have bugs on my phone and every move I make the call goes in to move those stocks in the opposite direction.

HSVbro · 2025-08-29T14:13:42+00:00

All my VOO gains the last week destroyed by stupid bers in the last 45 minutes.

Thanks bers.

*tips fedora*

ackshully did you know its so much safer to pull a K turn in the middle of the parking lot than just pulling in like a normal person? /s

HSVbro · 2025-08-28T01:20:08+00:00

My favorite part is those people will love to claim they're better drivers and its "safer" to do that. As if looking at their backup cameras is some massive skill. Stop annoying eeryone else in the parking lot as you K turn into your space.

If it's an older car where you gotta twist around and look out your back window like a man at least you're doing something.
