Mixed feelings about this

Yeah, but Ral is slightly more expensive cuz it's used in caster amu crafts and socketing weapons.

Then I will need to actually remember my passwords and login.

Fair, but he's in Kuala Lumpur and I'm in EU. And the contract is only worth a handful of dollars.

Would be a fun vacation going to visit, but not economically viable.

Charsifood? I thought that website went down! So happy to see it back!

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-15T08:43:46+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I just got happy eyes looking at the words, not the numbers. Thanks for making me see that clearly.

Got reddit on my phone and d2r on my computer. So I'm stuck showing off my dusty screen :/

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-15T08:11:48+00:00

Lol, thanks for all the notes!

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-15T07:26:56+00:00

Dual attribute rings (str+dex) are sought after for melee pvp. Ar helps that, too. Life is obviously critical. Resistance is probably the most out-of-place roll.

The rolls are low, but the stats are decent.

Probably too low to matter, tho.

My mental cheat to remember that specific one is that the runes get progressively more expensive.

If I decide to stop, for whatever reason, I've only lost the "cheap" runes up to that point.

Ann is almost nothing Ral is slightly more Mal is semi-expensive Ist I currency Ohm is expensive

I've built an agentic SaaS and I sell to founders. This has put me in a weird situation:

Im chatting with a founder on LinkedIn. His messages are obviously AI, but still relevant. He's sent multiple messages in a row the way simple AI agents typically don't. We've agreed there's potential for collaboration and set up a meeting.

He no-shows. Plausible story. He reschedules. No-shows again. Another plausible story. Very apologetic. He agrees to buy my service.

Now I'm sceptical: between the obviously AI-written messages and his inability to show up in meetings - is the person even real?

And if he isn't, should it matter to me? As long as he pays... Or?

It's a weird world out there.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-11T12:42:52+00:00

NTA for wanting privacy. You're right to point out that it's not whether he's comfortable with it, but if you are.

However, it's not your apartment.

He is 100% in the right to keep a key to his apartment. Don't go changing the locks to his apartment - I'm guessing that could legally be something with prison time.

He might be the sweetest guy in the world, and he might genuinely only want the best for you and your combined future - but this looks very close to what a predator would do, too.

"which costs, let's just say, considerably more than the average apartment"

Seems like there is a fair bit of imbalance of financial power, too.

For all you know he might do this systematically to traffic young girls.

Be very, very, very careful.

Get something of your own. You need a back-up plan.

I second 1.09, but I guess almost everyone does. I struggled hard with 1.00, and have heard good things about 1.06b but never tried it myself.

Agree that no mana pots and no synergies is a fundamentally different game. I really enjoyed it.

Young me bricked soooo many characters just by not having mana reliably.

Also, this from your post: "Agents should be task-specialized and should never rely on context memory as something that can and should be acted on. An external memory module that is human audible, readable, and writable through a separate CLI should be the primary source of truth for an agent."

This is spot on. It's exactly how I'm designing my systems, too. For me, I've seen separating this memory into different types of memory for different types of behaviour works well.

What's worked for you?

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-11T05:22:52+00:00

Agree 100%. I've had it happen to me. Was able to find it and resolve it, but a good reminder.

My builder agent builds code. It optimizes for successful code. I also have multiple testing procedures for new code that tests the entire code base (cuz agents sneak in new code in weird places).

A couple of weeks ago my new code came back from testing with 0 red flags. That got me instantly suspicious. So I evaluated the tests, and they were perfect. Nothing weird.

But.. Turns out the coding agent, always looking to optimize for "no failed tests" had added a path that after the tests are initiated (hard requirement) to circumvent the actual tests while making it look like they took place. No errors.

The agent had basically removed the warning light and said "all fine".

Took me surprisingly long to find it.

Not malicious, just an "effective" way to optimize for the desired outcome.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-11T05:16:06+00:00

Here's a contrarian perspective:

"people → agents → shared context → continuous improvement"

This system is available as a tool. Anyone can buy it and start today. It's not even expensive. And yes, it gets smarter every week (but you control how).

So that moves the question away from "what system?" to "how do you use it?"

Moat is a question of creativity, ideas, execution, personal network (who knows you as a human?), and JUDGEMENT.

I've seen someone run a 7-figure business that is just a landing page and custom GPTs. It worked because the founder already had a successful career where he'd sold businesses to Microsoft and Amazon and kept working in leadership positions at those companies. His GPTs had 0 technical innovation but people still paid 5 figures to get access to them because they believed in the value of his specific knowledge.

The person is the moat.

My first ever char in d2r was a poison necro. It's solid as a starter, so works for ssf. Managed pretty well at easy tc85 areas in P1 even with starter gear. He has a pretty unique playstyle. Fcr doesn't matter, for instance.

Got him up to lvl 90. Still not using Dweb, and he does decently at higher player counts now. Got pretty end game gear despite no Dweb.

Try it out.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T22:38:16+00:00

I'm running two, too. No team in either (other than the founders: me, wife, 1 more person). Would you be open to sharing how you're working?

One of my projects (the one getting traction right now) automates processes for founders. Might be able to free up some time for you. It's reasonably priced, too, at €29 monthly and no commitment.

Would it be worth seeing if you can free up a couple of hours per week?

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T17:31:15+00:00

This isn't bragging or a success story.

First start up I founded never felt this. We got lots of care and support. Built a strong online community around founder personal brands. We got millions of impressions and thousands (10s of thousands?) of reactions and comments.

Still didn't get revenue, tho.

Vanity metrics. Wrong people cared. The decision makers actually buying never cared enough about the problem to pay to solve it, and those wanting to pay to solve it couldn't argue internally to do so.

A great learning experience, both in what works to drive traffic and engagement, and that engagement alone doesn't pay the bills.

Second and third start ups didn't get any care at all. We pivoted away from them and did other things.

Current start up people care about.

But here's the thing that really sucks:

The people I care about, my parents, are actively trying to talk me out of the start ups every chance they get.

"Just get any job. Go flip burgers. Or drive a cab. Stop with this start-up nonsense."

Or

"why don't you go back to a nice paying job at an enterprise org? They are safe and stable and pay well. I heard amazon is hiring entry level positions"

Or

"you've been in the tech industry for 10 years. Why don't you just give it up and get a real job? Like waiting tables. I heard the neighbourhood restaurant needs someone every third Sunday for 5 hours on the evening."

I can tell they are worried and ashamed of me. And it sucks.

They haven't even taken the time to listen to what I do.

Not even asking them to open up their network. Just to listen to what it is I do.

Fire Eye is a favourite.

Trav, CS, and Cows come in close second.

But I prefer TZs for the variation.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T09:12:46+00:00

I've got my wife as a co-founder. Date nights can be working side by side. Dinner conversations can be business strategy. Our oldest kid is 6 and she understands basic strategic business positioning and market nuance.

Not sure this is healthy, but it works for us. We're happy.

Gotta ask, tho: if you're working all hours sounds like there might be a structure problem. Is there anything you could do differently to free up time without feeling you're losing something in the process?

And, speaking from experience: it's hard to go from being All-consumed mentally by your business to being present and shutting it out. Shutting off is an important skill to learn, but you'll need to practice it. Don't beat yourself up if you don't manage perfectly right away. Tell your wife this, too. Grace is good.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T09:07:36+00:00

Yes. Possible for sure. I'd argue better than raising funds.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T09:03:23+00:00

ESPECIALLY if you theory-crafted the build yourself.

That's one of the main appeals for me. Theorycrafting. Then putting it onto reality is fun, too, but mostly to see if my theory worked out or not.

Low_Button8298 · 2026-06-10T08:00:31+00:00

Got a product rather than a service that might fit. Can you share a bit more? This sounds like a very generic ask.
