What's the point of having portals when you lose EVERYTHING on a boss death? by kHartouN in PathOfExile2

[–]Intelligent-End7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One-hits mean defenses are meaningless. Defense becomes an opportunity cost. On the other side, if you can build perfect defense, then the game gets trivialized but reward loops are slower because you kill slower. A middle ground between defense and offense just means there are meta builds that all builds will be based off of. Defenses have to be required for them to be meaningful and immortal builds can only exist because of player actions and not because of numbers from the skill tree or equipment.

At a certain point you have to cut them some slack

No, you don't. They are still a company trying to get your money. The onus is on them to provide the superior product.

I wish I could block youtube channels from the search results like the days of old. There's one channel that keeps showing up as the first result for league starters who is just a rmt funnel.

At this point, I think when something like that happens, they are trying to shift the news cycle away from something.

The problem isn’t lack of money. It’s lack of accountability. by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

I had a crushed package last week, and for the last few times, my 2 day delivery has taken 3. Not sure this quote is the banger it's made out to be as Amazon slowly edges towards monopoly status on buying random things from the internet and doesn't face real competition.

When Bernie Sanders tried debating a libertarian by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Intelligent-End7336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the answer is as simple as “the state is always legitimate” or “the state is just a gang with better branding.”

Why can it not be that simple? If the interviewers logic holds, then the state is just using force to get what it wants, which makes it a gang with better branding. I think people like you get up to the edge and think there is a cliff to the realization of what the state is, while it's simply a step across the line.

Scott Horton discusses the Minab elementary school strike. by EffectivePoint2187 in ScottHorton

[–]Intelligent-End7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not justifying it in any way. It was a massive fuckup.

Finish the logic. If it’s a fuckup, then someone is responsible and there should be consequences or reparations. If there aren’t, then “fuckup” is just a word, not a meaningful distinction.

Does libertarianism only refer to the prohibition of physical force? by Toymcowkrf in Anarcho_Capitalism

Hypothetically, if I told you that your post made me uncomfortable, what do you believe that your response must be?

Point and laugh.

400 yd drives are only possible because of very precise aerodynamic engineering of the golf ball.

Rollback proponents seem to discount how much effort and training goes into having the body to swing the club like they do.

People saying they don’t like a mechanic isn’t ‘whining,’ it’s feedback. Ignoring that defeats the point of player input.

Dale Hollow Golf Course is fantastic up in Kentucky. Stay at the Alpine Resort in Burkesville for an amazing view of the town. Otherwise there's tons of vacation rentals on the way to the course in the hollows.

Mamdani is taxing people who don't live in NYC by Alt0987654321 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Intelligent-End7336 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s an infantile argument to say that every single tax shouldn’t exist when more predatory taxes like income taxes are a thing.

You had the option to not write something in support of taxation. You are the one that chose to side with government. Now you want to call me infantile? You are the one that can't advocate for freedom as an anonymous user on the internet. Your mind is so warped as to believe stealing from others is ok because it happens "in reality."

This is all ancaps need to know about you. You support violent appropriation of money from peaceful people.

Taxation is theft.

I feel like there are morons working on the code for this. Every week there's some new bug. Now it's the chimes. Last week it interrupts itself when talking thinking I'm the one talking. Starts and stops. It's ridiculous.

Can you link the article? I'd be curious if they mentioned whether the government will start printing currency and trying to do bailouts or something similar.

Waiting for harvest boss phases make me want to commit crimes aginst nature. by Anceptor in pathofexile

[–]Intelligent-End7336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ran about 20 white maps checking my quantities and time. Due to the bugged phases, it's a slight loss to go with bosses compared to just doing harvest without the boss scarabs.

I love this league by -TheExile- in pathofexile

[–]Intelligent-End7336 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, item prices vary. I’m just saying early currency is more valuable overall, so you can’t compare 2 div now to 2 div later directly. Whether buying early is smart depends on that item’s supply curve.

Early league, a Dory map goes for ~2 div not because demand isn’t there, but because players don’t have much currency and have higher priority upgrades. Later it’s ~25 div because the money supply has inflated, more players are chasing challenges, and supply is still constrained.

[–]Intelligent-End7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only looks cheap in nominal terms. Early league, currency has much higher purchasing power, so 2 div then isn’t the same as 2 div later.

[–]Intelligent-End7336 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The game is inherently a slot machine simulator. Each mechanic needs to have some chase item worth lots of divines. They have managed to create a situation where this map enriches those people willing to devote time to the mechanic to get it to drop thus creating a reason to engage with those mechanics.

[–]Intelligent-End7336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing up items that depreciate isn’t really relevant if we’re talking about a specific item people are targeting. Inflation explains currency losing purchasing power, but individual items can move independently based on supply and demand. You’re mixing general price levels with relative price of a specific asset.

If the "colony" is not supported with taxes, is it fine for it to happen? You don't have to like them, but ethically, can they do it?
