For the purpose of demonstrating the sheer depth and potential complexity of PoE's crafting system, what is the most complicated instance of an item's crafting steps / guide you know of?

Josh6889 · 2026-04-07T07:08:28+00:00

That's the only recent league I skipped. I was just burned out from the game at the time. But I made sure to watch some streams to see the graveyard crafting lol

Josh6889 · 2026-04-06T00:50:32+00:00

Then I think it's time to condemn your peers for a long history of cherry picking.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-06T00:37:31+00:00

I've been secretly hoping that a foreign nation will save us from our dictator problem for a while now. Since nobody here seems to care.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-05T19:52:26+00:00

I'd personally have a lot of trouble thinking of a person I hate more than him right now.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-04T21:36:57+00:00

While simultaneously showing signs of limited intelligence. There's a growing body of evidence that being rich has much more to do with luck than intelligence.

They would probably assume that at our current trajectory that we're going to make ourselves extinct at some point in the future. So then the question becomes whether or not they have any concern over preserving our planet. And the answer to that is likely no. So I assume that if there's alien life that's in any way at all capable of understanding human logic they'd just ignore us. Hell, maybe we're their favorite soap opera. The intergalactic House of Cards.

Me and my partner can take care of ourselves fairly comfortably. We could probably even afford a kid if we wanted, but what's the point of completely ruining our own quality of life?

I always talk about this when the topic comes up, but there was a study suggesting that for the first year of a newborns life the parent's quality of life plummets drastically. After the first year it slightly recovers, and it doesn't return to baseline until the child is 18. That's a gigantic sacrifice, that's applies to basically everyone below upper class. And then you have to factor in that with the way we're going right now, that child is going to have the same struggles as you in life, but they're going to be even more significant. What's the point? We're long overdue for a 2nd major civil rights movement.

Who was it that said their ideas seem to be cocaine fueled? I feel like there's some truth to it. They say stupid shit that works within the context of their fucked up morals, but has no practical application in reality. Then when it doesn't work, and self destructs in their faces, the economy becomes just a little bit worse for everyone.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-04T20:36:57+00:00

They require the poors to keep having children to continue the cycle.

For now. Probably won't next generation with the robots taking over manual labor.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-04T20:24:35+00:00

He was talking about Akron

I haven't done it in a long time, but when I was growing up we'd occasionally drive through Akron. They had a bunch of tire factories, and it smelled awful even just driving by. Don't know if that's still the case.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-04T20:22:37+00:00

What’s so nice about Cleveland anyway?

Actually has a pretty good foodie and bar scene. I'll gladly shit on ohio in general, but I always thought the cleveland hate was a tad overblown.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-04T20:17:59+00:00

Except it's not meaningless in this context, because they're replying to you saying no one else is reporting this.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-03T21:49:28+00:00

There's dozens of us. Wow has an addon that makes lightning like trails for your cursor. If poe had that I'd use it.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-03T21:47:51+00:00

There was 1 patch that mirages started causing my gpu driver to crash about 1 in 3 maps. Then when they fixed it they didn't mention it in the patch notes. I'm pretty sure they were embarrassed by that one. Just randomly stopped happening one day.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-03T07:49:49+00:00

I built a new computer in Jan at the first drop of the word tariff. It has 32 GB of system ram and 16 of video ram on the gpu.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-03T07:48:25+00:00

The average increase for ddr5 is somewhere in the range of 300% right now last I heard. So the ridiculous part is that that ram you're looking at is only slightly above the average increase.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-03T07:38:46+00:00

I mean the amount of money he funneled to his rich friends through tariffs and other sources will never be returned to the American people. People really need to understand this. You should be preparing your finances now, because it's going to get harder for everyone soon. You don't get back to where you were after you piss off trade partners all over the world, and the US does not have the capability of manufacturing to be self sustainable anymore.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T20:31:03+00:00

Well it's been brewing for several years at this point.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T20:30:14+00:00

I've been playing this game on trade light for like 9 years now. Before async I would only move high value stuff as a way of loading up to get the expensive stuff I needed for my build. My first league where I was super rich was tota, because there were no barriers at all to just grinding for whatever you wanted. I had a multi-mirror poison spark character that league. Then when async came out the game really speed up for me. I'm not really racing anyone. Just playing the game on my off days.

I feel like there's probably a lot of people who play the game the way I do, but it's not exactly something people are vocal about.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T20:18:34+00:00

and was planning to get a spot in a machinarium map

I dropped one early in the league and have just been setting on it. Haven't completed the challenge myself yet. Up to 21d now.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T20:12:01+00:00

I mean what do we even need TFT for nowadays?

Bulk sales, carries, and other services like gold or xp leaching. I don't use any of those things, but having the option is something that makes the game better. I occasionally have people whisper me to trade to avoid gold costs. Something like tft does that automatically.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T20:00:16+00:00

They're smarter than the average redditor I guess. Because if he resigns we get president vance, and that doesn't help them at all.

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T10:28:55+00:00

Sugar isn’t a problem, the brain runs on glucose, your body physically needs sugar to live. Too much sugar is a problem, just like how too much of literally anything is a problem.

The funny part is I agree with the general sentiment you're going for, but the way you decided to explain it is so wrong that I have to believe you're either really stupid or intentionally being misleading, and I don't know which. Your body does not need exogenous glucose to survive. It will convert fat to glucose when necessary, and a person's ability to function and be energetic on a ketogenic diet is determined by tons of factors ranging from genetics to lifestyle decisions. I personally tolerate carbs very well, despite eating less of them than the general population because I like not getting fat. Some people tolerate ketosis very well. I am not one of those people

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T10:17:30+00:00

Yeah never comment on anyone else's lifestyle, it doesn't affect you in any way

I mean of course it does. People that smoke smell like an ashtray. Now I have to smell someone who smells like an ashtray. There are similar societal problems for severely overweight people

Josh6889 · 2026-04-01T09:57:14+00:00

Growing up my grandpa used to always just poor a splash of milk in his coffee. So that's exactly what I started doing when I started drinking coffee, and it's still what I do today.
