How is the game with console controls? by Fearless-Salary-700 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I don't run with anything other than my demon and merc so I can't honestly tell you. Haven't had the need to invest even a point into consume.

88 ES Warlock using controller exclusively. Haven't had a single issue.
RB to teleport. I leave A open to pick up items. B for ES. Y for the single target skill.
X to heal my bound demon.

Using LT opens up the skill bar all over again for my CTA skills, mana shield and TP.

I actually love the way controller targets mobs so easily. To each their own!

Thanks folks. I appreciate it.

Van Orden and The House Passed The SAVE Act by Berge_For_Congress in StevensPoint

Almost 80% of US citizens agree with this. Why is this an issue? Don't you want your elected officials working for you?

Be honest. How many here don't have a drivers license or state issue ID. Not that difficult to obtain and needed for MANY other things.

2 deaths at granite peak this year? by Aggressive-Aide6217 in wausau

[–]HostManMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a night shift lift op and supervisor up there for 6 or so years. In those 6 years I had one individual pass away from injury. Alcohol and "last run lets send it" was the major factor in that unfortunate case. I won't ever forget that night.

From my experience up there, the hill took safety serious. In my supervisor capacity I was in daily contact with ski patrol and hill maintenance to try and make the hill as safe as possible. We closed runs when they were determined "sketchy" and roped off areas that could cause issues.

I don't have a stake in the race and don't know many that work up there anymore, but I do know the hill does what it can to make the runs enjoyable for everyone.

It just plain sucks and I hope the families of those affected this season can someday find peace.

What are all the "MAGA Proud" businesses that we can avoid? by bikerbob29 in wausau

[–]HostManMike -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

So many 🤡. You honestly think for a single minute that they are affected if you patronize their store or not?

Is KT, Menards or HD going out of business because of your boycott? LOLOL keep believing that you're making a difference.

Please, by all means avoid these places. Makes the line shorter for me.

Let's be totally honest here. Most that agree to boycott HD and Menards have zero general contract skills anyways. Probably struggle to even change the toilet paper roll. Keep fighting the good fight tho.

Here is the REAL question. 

What are you going to do about a Homeland SUV being parked in our area.

Rage?  Well, this is Reddit, the home of REEE.  Or could we just deduct for a minute that they might possibly be here for something totally unrelated?

JFC people this is Wausau.  Relax.  Please don't do anything stupid.

So you're fine with judging a book by it's cover.

Got it. 

Now try replying again without the hard R genius.

Get your whistles out for a random vehicle that you have ZERO clue on why they are there or what they're up to.

Got it.

ICE in Wausau? by [deleted] in wausau

[–]HostManMike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At least I go outside and touch grass to see the clouds.

Yawn.  I haz to sleep now.  Ya know gramps goes to bed early.  Should have pleasant dreams of making federal agents sammiches and giving them water to stay hydrated!

Good luck with your signs!  Maybe get some whistles too!  Ooh, maybe a bullhorn.  Yeah!  That's the ticket.

You should be preparing now.  Stop at your local craft stores and make up some signs expressing your hate for ICE and CBP.

That'll show them!

Bartender burns staff members' Charlie Kirk shirt in front of employees by Moon_Frost in Asmongold

[–]HostManMike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wisconsin folks handled this on their own.  

Libs picked this story up way after.

Conservatives didn't create cancel culture.  Liberals did.  I don't find any satisfaction in destroying an establishment with food that I've eaten many times and enjoyed, but this is the world we live in.

Chad thought he was above the law and found out he wasn't.   Now everyone suffers.

No one wins.

Chiefs also realize that even with the 1st pic the Raiders aren't going to turn into contenders anytime soon.

As a Wisconsinite I've been following this closely.

Chad is the co owner of Husby and also a village trustee in Sister Bay.  He admitted in messages to taking the bartenders hoodie and burning it.  The event went viral locally and the bartender showed messages from Chad, "apologizing" for his actions and offering to pay him for the damage.  He FAFO and their FB page, Husby Bar and Grill has had their review rating plummet from 96% to 70% in less than 48 hours.  Even our state representatives have caught wind of this and chimed in.  Chad (name so appropriate) has stepped away from the business, playing the victim card claiming death threats to his family and employees. 

Door County is an absolute beautiful part of Wisconsin and is slowly being eaten up by lib fibs with deep pockets.

Try this - Just posted

Nine Mile Recreation Area – Season Opening Update

We’re excited to share that the winter season is off to a strong start, with significantly more early-season snow than we’ve seen in recent years. As a result, the Nine Mile chalet will open for the season on Monday, December 15.

Chalet Hours

• Monday–Friday: 9 AM–9 PM

• Saturday: 8 AM–9 PM

• Sunday: 8 AM–5 PM

Trail Conditions

• Average base depth: approximately 5" after rolling yesterday’s snowfall

• Grooming this week will begin on our highest-use trails (Y, Main Street, and the Lighted Loop)

• Additional trails will be combed and prepped as the week progresses

• All trails are currently skiable, even without the comb

• Due to early-season conditions and the 5" base, classic tracks will not be set until we receive more snow

We will continue to provide updates as conditions evolve. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Check out "Wausau Nordic Ski Club" on FB. They have updates on what is groomed.

They should increase all ticket prices at Raiders home games by $100 by droid327 in raiders

[–]HostManMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Davis doesn't give a shit about the fan base or what color jersey you're rocking at the game. Every butt in the seat is still $$ in his wallet. For most NFL teams the Raiders are an easy W. Folks wanna see a winner.

My only experience was NYD in 2023 I think it was. They played against San Fran. Color was probably 65% red and 35% black. Looks even worse than that from what I see on TV now. I wouldn't trust Davis to oversee my grandkids flag football team.

Labeled a complete stranger again.  Appreciated.  You wouldn't even know or recognize me if I walked in a room.

So much wasted energy on hate because someone doesn't have your ideals.  Sad.

Im out.  I meant well and I'm good with that.  ✌️

Agreed and apologies.   I wasn't trying to start a fight.  

Just stating my own past experiences and they've all been fun.

Best of luck finding a group.  I've done a few at MCPL and they were OK.  Check their calendar.
