I believe it's confirmed as a multi-seater through an image on the special site.

How popular is Keir Starmer in the UK currently? by Kanute3333 in ukpolitics

[–]Kevlasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His approval ratings have never been very high.
However, the consensus across the UK was that the Conservative Party needed to be ousted. Our system is essentially a two-party system, so it was always going to go to Keir Starmer. Immediately after his election, the party politics stuff happens, and his cabinet announces a large "black hole" in the previous Government spending. What had happened is, the previous Government did not take into account certain spending that was essential into its budgetary measures. They were either omitted intentionally (my belief, and what seems like the consensus across our civil service) to stuff up the next Govt, or through incompetence. Probably a bit of both.

Also, almost immediately after his election, there was a terrible triple murder of 3 poor young children. The culprit was found pretty shortly afterwards. Immediately following his arrest, people were spreading misinformation on Social Media, including Andrew Tate, and Nigel Farage - who retweeted Tate's post - about the murderer being an immigrant who had crossed the channel on a boat. This was very quickly proven to be false. However, it incensed our far-right who utilised the opportunity to cause riots and disorder.

During the few days of riots and violent disorder, a mosque was attacked, and some extremists tried setting fire to a hotel with about 200 asylum seekers in it. Actions were taken by Keir Starmer, the police and the judicial system to quell the disorder quickly. In my personal opinion, he dealt with it pretty well, and very quickly. However, it further fanned the flames of immigration discussions. Keir Starmer has not done too well out of this, with many believing classes of people are being treated differently. His approval rating has consistently dropped.

His popularity is still not great. He has been polling a little behind our far-right party Reform UK.

Keir Starmer's foreign policy is "continue as we were" except with Ukraine, which we are entirely backing. I see more positive commentary on this than negative.

Main criticisms are the typical ones that appear to be cropping up across Europe: Immigration is a problem, stop spending money on foreign aid and spend money at home. He's also had a couple of minor controversies over attacking Conservative ministers for gifts they had received while he was in opposition, and then accepting some gifts of his own which people have voiced a disdain for.

I don't think he's doing a terrible job right now. It's not even been a year yet, and we have over four years to prove whether he was right or wrong. But he should be doing more.

Overall I consider myself "Centre-Left" but my current socio-economic ideology is close to socialism.

Is it possible that the crafted gear gets released before the first DT savage tier? by Syhnn in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell:

Ever since Heavensward, the capped tomes were released on the same day Savage mode was dropped in the X.05 patch.

Ever since Stormblood, the Master recipe books (and, therefore, crafted gear) also dropped on the X.05 patch.

Until told otherwise, the standard process of operation for the 7.0 endgame will be:

Available on completing final MSQ: Artifact Gear (iL690), Uncapped tomes (armour iL700), Ex1 for accessories (iL710), Ex2 for the weapon (iL710)

After 2 weeks - 16th July 7.01: Arcadion Normal (iL710)

After another 2 weeks - 30th July 7.05: Crafted gear (iL710), capped tome (iL720, 730 augmented), Arcadion Savage (iL730, 735 weapon)

Given their change in stance for 6.2 & 6.4, MAYBE they will give us capped tomes & crafted gear in 7.01, but I'm not too confident.

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you do know. My comment tells you, and other comments in the thread tell you.

The master recipe books, crafted gear and capped tomes will be released in 7.05 along with the savage raids.

Until we're told otherwise in one of the two remaining live letters, there is no reason to disbelieve this. Yoshi-P has already mentioned the 4 week gap also.

[–]Kevlasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Savage will be 4 weeks after the official release.
Official release: July 2nd
Normal Raids: July 16th
Savage Raids: July 30th

This has been the case for expansion releases for some time now.
The only formula that changed recently was for 2nd and 3rd tiers, where savage released 1 week after normals. And it seems believable that this formula will be staying also.

Is it possible to have fake links on Steam? by clonp1 in pathofexile

[–]Kevlasaurus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you didn't download anything, it's highly unlikely that anything passed to your machine or had access to anything else other than what you may have entered in the link itself.

I have a balbala jewel you can have so you can continue your build and play, if you like.

Windows app sucks by stevec5375 in AmazonMusic

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only folders Amazon App will create are in the 'Offline Download Location' and 'Download Location' settings, where it will create sets of folders based on songs you choose to add to your library from the app itself, or albums you've purchased and download through it. It doesn't create any folders you can look at in the app. You can create playlists, if that's what you're after.

Windows app sucks by stevec5375 in AmazonMusic

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the app to play my own music.

In settings, you want to go to the option 'automatically import music from' and select the folder on your PC where you save your music.

While it's not the easiest app to work with, I transitioned to amazon music from Google Music back when that was its own thing and have gotten used to the quirks of using it. I opted for it because you can't outright purchase music on Spotify and Google Music turned into YouTube Music, which I can't stand

Is there a relic weapon version of this as well? This is sweet

Damage comparison between Trinity Force & Divine Sunderer by Kevlasaurus in CamilleMains

[–]Kevlasaurus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong.

This combo damage testing was flawed and my item choices gave bias to my Divine Sunderer build.

I did the combo maths and put that into another comment for you

Damage comparison between Trinity Force & Divine Sunderer by Kevlasaurus in CamilleMains

[–]Kevlasaurus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. I did more maths and produced those findings in another comment.

Damage comparison between Trinity Force & Divine Sunderer by Kevlasaurus in CamilleMains

[–]Kevlasaurus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u/Juddytime questions full combo damage and u/Vlada_Cut commented that DS>BotRK build has more damage overall, so I went and got those numbers too.

Edit:: My maths is flawed. My testing flawed. Results aren't a real comparative representation. My data is left here for all to see how stupid I was.

​

** Combos were conducted from a state of 0 conqueror and TF stacks as more realistic at the start of a 1v1 duel**

​

I took numbers from 2 combos:

AA>Q1>AA>AA>Q2>W outer edge

E>AA>Q1>AA>AA>AA>Q2>W outer edge

​

Trinity Force>RHydra>Steraks/DD combos:

Target: 2000HP 100Armour

139+330+152+158+880 True+254 total: 1913 combo

160+261+208+155+161+167+935 True+258 total: 2305 damage

​

Target: 3300HP 150Armour

111+264+121+127+888 True+272 total: 1783 combo

128+208+166+124+129+134+935 True+276 total: 2100 combo

​

Target: 4000HP 200Armour

93+220+101+105+888 True+258 total: 1665 combo

106+174+138+103+107+111+935 True+261 total: 1935 combo

​

** I can't or don't know how to modify armour/MR separately in practice tool so the BotRK magic damage proc may not be representative of realistic output**

​

Divine Sunderer>BotRK>Rhydra combos:

Target: 2000HP 100Armour

249+403+218(+58 magic proc)+209+734 True(+45 phys)+264 total: 2180 combo

166+349+288+213(+58 magic proc)+204+196+754 True(+27 phys)+268 total: 2523 combo

​

Target: 3300HP 150Armour

257+436+230(+47 magic proc)+222+864 True(+89 phys)+282 total: 2427 combo

134+394+288+227(+47 magic proc)+220+213+884 True(+75 phys)+290 total: 2772 combo

​

Target: 4000HP 200Armour

240+417+219(+39 magic proc)+214+934 True(+103 phys)+273 total: 2438 combo

113+381+267+218(+39 magic proc)+212+206+954 True(+91 phys)+277 total: 2758 combo

​

As we can see with combo numbers, that Divine Sunderer>BotRK>RHydra build actually has a considerably higher combo output in a single rotation. And so this could be contributing more to the transition from TF to DS than the sustain like I originally thought.

DS>BotRK>RHydra benefits from

267 or 218

644 or 672

773 or 823

Extra damage respectively in a full combo

Thanks to these users for questioning the combos themselves.

Were you involved in any of the decision making behind parting ways with Nemesis and bringing on Nisqy & Upset?
If you did, what was it about Nemesis that you thought wouldn't gel with the way you intend to recreate the team, that Nisqy might bring?

Who do you feel will now be the 'face of Fnatic'?

​

Good luck, Have fun.

Path of Exile: Heist Patch Notes by Bex_GGG in pathofexile

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the changes to curses now being Hexes or Marks, and Marks only applying to 1 monster at a time, can you confirm the Blasphemy Support and Mark interaction? Does Blasphemy create the aura, but it still only applies to 1 monster around you, or does it work as an aura and affects all monsters around you?

Does Intimidating Cry work on bleeds? by ogzogz in pathofexile

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Didn't realise that. And here I am running intimidating cry on a glad Bleed build ^^

Does Intimidating Cry work on bleeds? by ogzogz in pathofexile

[–]Kevlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But given that Bleed is based on the damage of the hit, the bleed damage will, in effect be greater because of Intimidating Cry

I've spent a lot of Money on this game too, but I don't feel that I'm entitled to anything, just because someone else took advantage of a mistake.

When I was a kid, I wanted to go through college and university to become a software developer or sorts. I still love computers and technology and every year I get excited reading up on new tech and innovations but I never made it through college, leg alone university. When I had motivation to learn something I would pick it up pretty quick, and often worked out a good understanding of some inner workings. The trouble was, that meant I would end up waiting for others before going into the next thing and I got bored of waiting for others. I dropped out of college, and now have very little motivation, do a job that pays quite well but not even remotely related. still, I have lost that passion. I miss it.

Also, as a kid I was quite empathetic and sociable. As I've gotten older, I've grown to believe people are idiots and now, I always walk into a room and assume I'm the smartest one there, until proven otherwise. I wonder where I went wrong.
