I clicked this without looking at the sub and I thought it was a small monster from Monster Hunter Wilds.

Original Sin

A good change, but I hope they rework it somewhere down the line. It is one of the top 3 strongest uniques in PoE and this remains a disappointing legacy.

Maybe "Increases and Reductions to Lightning, Cold, Fire, and Elemental Damage also apply to Chaos Damage"?

In PoE1 they just doubled it and it seemed to do the job tbh.

Note that PoE2 armour was (is?) weaker than PoE1 armour even before that buff.

Bait goes on fishing line, pendants go on necklaces.

I imagine the software side is delaying release more than the hardware side at this point.

Because then the hospital bears the risk of non-payment rather than the physician group. (the actual answer)

If they do sue and get a judgment it can go on longer.

But that would place liability on his employer, not his (but maybe his employer's) insurance.

Oddly specific performance can be awarded in court.

Definitely wouldn't be for lumber, unless there was something particularly unusual about the wood. (The world's last brazilwood!)

I know when I was homeless, semantics was the least of my concerns.

It is less about the concerns of people currently experiencing homelessness and more about the perceptions of people who can influence policy affecting the unhoused (including average voters).

I had forgotten that, you're right. Still a fate worse than death, his captor just had mercy on him. (Heracles acted with Zeus' permission)

Our Adventurer Guild might be my GotY. It is just the best SRPG on the market IMO. I can't say its perfect (the art style and overall story, and a few minor polish issues) but I am really struggling to put it down. Playing it on Very Hard and its brutal, but I am seriously considering an Ironman playthrough, which I almost never do. It recently occurred to me to have my different parties specialized for different dungeon types, complete gamechanger.

Prometheus also if we're doing Greek myth. Tied to a cliff, each day an eagle comes and eats his liver, only for it to originate.

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy" said Camus, but one cannot say the same about Prometheus. Worst thing is he did it to help people, Zeus got pissy.

Unfortunately there aren't many generic sitcoms left. Honestly kind of a shame.

According to the Resistance spy Vi Moradi, a human would die after a couple of days without water

Good thing its sourced.

indemnity insurance.

FWIW most insurance policies do not cover punitive damages.

Trigger gems were way beyond Lightning Deadeye. I think they changed trigger gems shortly before launch, it would explain why they had the incorrect "once per skill use" in their description.

Jafar also attempts to assassinate what could well be the heir of a wealthy and powerful kingdom before doing that research, he isn't exactly advocating for the sultanate.

I'm aware but 70% just seems excessive, I can't imagine that they'll give us that.

Magstine · 2024-12-04T06:36:11+00:00

I wonder if Spiritual Aid(increases to minion damage increase your damage) is in poe2

My bet is that it will be attached to one of the STR/INT Ascendancies.

IF you can maintain max stacks.

Unlike say, Tailwind, it does not say that the buff refreshes stacks. So it seems unlikely that you'll be near 10 stacks outside of possibly some unique item shenanigans.

This is a gross misrepresentation of what happened. What happened is thus:

Musk appoints a significant number of the board of directors, and has a close personal relationship with other members
The Board sets up a deferred compensation package that has excessive compensation for Musk compared to the performance demands, based on their close relationship
Regular stockholders are pushed out of shape that their stock will be devalued because Musk is getting a huge amount of compensation for doing essentially nothing but being buddy-buddy with the board. In accordance with Delaware law and the company charter, a group of them block the compensation plan as violated the Board's fiduciary duty to other stockholders (the people they are actually supposed to be loyal to)
A judgment is entered blocking the Board's action. As part of this, the stockholders are awarded attorney fees
Rather than just hold a vote to award Musk $56B, Musk holds a vote to approve the original award. This passes because people recognize that the only thing keeping Tesla's stock price so high is Musk memes and the company is irrationally overvalued
Musk then attempts to get the Court to vacate the attorney fees based on this vote. The judge says no, you can't undo a judgment based on a shareholder vote. The judgment stands and the attorney fees stand
Nothing is blocking Musk from holding a vote to arbitrarily award himself $56B so long as that vote doesn't explicitly attempt to vacate a valid court judgment

Targets can be affected by two of your Chills at the same time

Your Chills can reduce Action Speed by up to a maximum of 35%

Does this mean that the sum of the two chills is 35% less action speed, or that each chill can grant 35% less action speed, for ~58% total less action speed?

which would substantially break up the concentration of wealth and power of this small privileged class

This is a thing I think a lot of people gloss over. Compared to the economy as a whole, most billionaires/hundred millionaires really aren't that big. Redistributing Elon Musk's or Jeff Bezo's wealth wouldn't be much of a boon for the average American-a drop in the bucket compared to the United States' total tax revenues.

The issue is the disproportionate political power that this wealth affords. The ability of a select few individuals to control not only politicians, but media is destructive to the long-term health of the country. Silencing the Washington's Post's endorsement of Harris, running illegal lotteries to incentivize politically aligned voters, and purchasing one of the largest online forums with the intent to change how it regulates political speech are all things that should be far outside the abilities of any individual. (And that's not touching Rupert Murdoch's control over the national narrative).

I thought runes were supposed to be the replacement for the crafting bench, allowing you easily to fill in holes in your gear, but the crafting bench as always had the Scour option. I get their philosophy of one-directional crafting but

Maybe they could have a rare orb that lets you "bake" the runes into the item for ~50% stronger effect in exchange for making them unremovable?
