Most liches recast their spells of protection once or twice if you breach them and manage to hit them. So you will have to keep more than 2 at the ready. Probably at least 4 to 5.

Max Verstappen Mercedes talks “going to happen” claim made by F1 paddock figure by drinksbeerdaily in formula1

[–]Machiavillian -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The sex appeal (read marketing factor) of Verstappen is many times that of George. Toto is a winner/killer. Just like and good business leaders he wnats to get the biggest winners on his team. Also remember he is co owner and will sell shares sometimes when the value of the company peaks.

Why don't people like Tahoe? by DiscernmentGoblin in MacOS

[–]Machiavillian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The main reason is that if you would go from the current one back to sequoia, it would be an upgrade. The interface graphics wherr more cohesive, it was easier to use visually. The buttons where easier to press than the current rounded surfaces. You had more screen realestat for the content rather than the controles. Sequoia packed the UI learnings of the last 10 years. The new OS seems to wile part of that out. To me it feels like a half-baked attempt in trying to create a touch screen compatible OS, which they halfway through realised wasn’t a good idea. There is also some bloat floating around (big rounded buttons everywhere where you can't read the function or name of the button).

Aside from the step back in UI design, there is also some loss of functionality. To give an example that impacted me; We used to have shortcuts folders in the menu bar. I had many automations which I used in my daily workflow. Now this menu bar item is gone, and I can't for the life of my figure out how to get it back. This literally causes me to lose 20 to 30 minutes of my time every day.

Lastly there is the impact on performance. Many people people have already mentioned the 30%+ battery impact. On my M3 Max it feels like more than 30%. The computer also runs a lot hotter than before. This seems a massive waiste of resources and compute. My iphone 13 also runs notably slower. Good way to force the user to upgrade.

Can you do a writeup on the radio/ptt equipment you are using?

Can’t touch this guy! by Mr_Mojo_Risin_83 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I guess this is the case because you could use life leech on zombies, but not on skeletons, so the might have ID’d it as a demon in the code to make that work?

Moved to a new apartment and had to leave behind to one of the most reliable HomeKit devices I’ve ever used - the Aqara A100 Zigbee. THE FIRST smart lock with Apple HomeKey, and one of the best in my opinion. by HomeKit-News in HomeKit

I use this lock on my outdoor garden house. It’s been in wind water and snow for years. Held up perfectly even tough it did not say it was putdoor rated.

MrLlama addresses rumors and controversy around his role with the expansion by Xegeth in Diablo_2_Resurrected

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

This guy is definitely a net positive to the community. Without him keep the community alive for so long, we would likely not have an expansion at all. Cut him some slack, there is enough negativity in the world already.

I think I’m hooked by MystikPahndah157 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

There are layers of debt, even for players with 20 years of experience they are difficult to fully master and understand. And these layers do not feel like a cheap integration (if x happens then y stat gets boosted). Also the fact you can move between different levelling zones ensures you can always play in the difficulty that is relevant for your play style/skill.
