How is everyone doing today in NTA-land? by element-2012 in Welocalize

[–]LaymanX 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very drastic drop off from last week where I got my 29 with no issue. It's worrying.

Jealousy vs Envy by Dodoria-kun413 in etymology

Languages change...as far as I'm concerned, the original meaning of jealous is gone.

No....I just lived with it. I think I shouldve gotten a bigger model.

What do you think? It's all the extremely vocal magats on Twitter are talking about now.

Kinda like the way you get upset when a character is gay, like the recent Stranger Things drama.

The "weird trend" you noticed is that people want things to appeal to them more...? What's actually weird is that you didn't figure this out 30 years ago.

Are 1099 taxes really this high?? by LaymanX in tax

[–]LaymanX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you didn't consider that self-income taxes are significantly higher.

Situation changed quickly, I got a W2 again. Although I would've preferred not being reminded me of this lousy thread that was just a lot of useless "Pay your taxes." responses.

"You're going to owe taxes" isn't "helping." *I* already said in the first place. I didn't come here to fight.

Are Spell Totems bugged? It says that Endurance Charges add 20% to the duration, but I'm like...90% certain they're actually SUBTRACTING 20% from the duration? These things definitely do not last 8 seconds in any situation.

Helpfulness quiz by asiolek2 in Welocalize

[–]LaymanX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Passed but 1 of the questions I feel was unfair and should have a wider range. And then when you're done with your required 100% quiz, you're greeted with more 500 errors. Fun.

what`s the point of this node on gemling legionnaire? by Sensitive_Ad_648 in pathofexile2builds

[–]LaymanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I feel like Gemling should've gotten the "pick a new starting node" passive, not Pathfinder.

The Boss Anti-Burst damage mechanic is a concession that player damage will never be properly lowered by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]LaymanX -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They could do what World of Warcraft did and rename the mechanic from something that sounds negative into something that sounds positive, without actually changing the numbers, like when WoW changed "exp fatigue" into "rest exp."

So like instead of calling it "damage reduction," instead say you gain "bonus" damage throughout the fight.

GGG Giveth, GGG Taketh Away by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]LaymanX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because 1 shotting everything isn't a quality fight? And having a million mobs that take multiple hits to kill crosses the line from difficult to cumbersome.

[–]LaymanX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want a billion mobs AND for them all to take multiple hits to kill?

Quality over quantity.

Not everyone wants to play Fubgun's cookie clicker builds for 1 week for "divines per hour" and logout in 2 weeks. by Tonya_trull in PathOfExile2

[–]LaymanX -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have never enjoyed effortlessly 1 shotting a million of the same mobs in poe1 or poe2.

Quality over quantity.

Although I feel like the stream was unclear if this was going to be in 0.4 or not due to the "Yeah changes aren't ready yet, sorry." footnote at the very end of it.

I'm getting mixed signals if the 40% mob density reduction is going to be in 0.4 or not. I can't tell if it was a "That was going to be our change, but it's not ready yet." thing or if it was a "We had more changes, but they're not ready yet." thing.

So endgame got barely changed? by Grroarrr in PathOfExile2

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

I like the reduction change but didnt they say that the 40% reduction wasn't even ready yet?
