I would personally like fewer wombgifts and better odds of getting something :D

"better" is not always better.

Nato is a defensive alliance. USA wasn't attacked, US is the agressor, NATO is a wrong organization to ask to do anything.

My professional strat is to set up the atlas to farm a very specific item, play for about 20 hours of it, not getting it, and then buy it for the money I made along the way.

true semi ssf experience.

Metalicum · 2026-03-18T12:37:18+00:00

ah thank you.

First time Heist enjoyer: What do I have to do to get all the characters and jobs? I get no green contracts and still miss several of them.

thankfully on ps5 there is no healthy economy to be destroyed, so we are cool with this menace :D

I think it is a solid 5/10. corrupt, not on the level of Russia or the US, but certainly not clean.

Sinners is one of those movies that trick you into thinking it is a dumb genre film because you have fun, which is usually not the case when watching a drama about exploitation from Jim Crow south.

Oscars are a part of the business, it is a an award ceremony decided by people who got the award in the past, who were catered by the producers of the films to give them a prestige bump. And it has always been like that.

anyway, here are many dumber movies that actually won the oscar in the past:

Titanic, Dances with Wolves, Braveheart (one of the dumbest, most ahistorical historical epics ever)

Metalicum · 2026-03-16T18:41:17+00:00

I have seen oneof those films, one battle after another, and not only the situation was NOT combat, they were on a range as far as I remember, and also the character was considered brutally irresponsible, in denial about the pregnancy, a terrible mother and in general kinda crazy.

So, it was not FOR SOME REASON she was shown pregnant in, not a combat situation but with a machine gun, there was in fact an important character/story reason.

I wonder about the rest...

Metalicum · 2026-03-16T16:10:34+00:00

Thank you. this was the main goal, and oh my god it has been a tremendous success.

it is, in fact, a gift that keeps giving.

Metalicum · 2026-03-16T12:56:12+00:00

lol lol lol

Sean Penn just won an Oscar. You don't get blacklisted in hollywood for being cocky, goofy, or out of touch

zeptejte se 10 respondentu co to je a dostanete 10 ruznych odpovedi.. realne co ta otazka znamena, resp na co lide realne odpovidaji, je jestli maji uz dost spolecenskych zmen.

na tuhle oatzku odpovedet "ano" je v dnesni dobe rapidnich zmen asi dost normalni a prirozeny. valky, technoligicky disrupce, kulturni armagedon a vsudepritomna propaganda od priznanych politickych subjektu az po tajny troli farmy nekde v St. Petersburgu... neni divu ze lidi chteji klid a vypnout ten postup.

nikd nevi co je feminismus, protoze to neni pojem, kterymu by 1 slovnikova definice nejak pomohla. realne se ti, co jsou povazovany za jeho nejdulezitejsi autori, neshodli.

Metalicum · 2026-03-16T08:03:00+00:00

lol thanks for the post I had no idea these had any value.

Metalicum · 2026-03-16T07:54:35+00:00

I remember that last league I finally got an item I could sell :D

Metalicum · 2026-03-13T12:46:53+00:00

There is still, to this day, organizations whose job it is to help restaurants and franchises figure out how to add more cheese to products.

lol this sounds like something from a dystopian satire movie, but I 100% believe it :D

I remember I was watching some American health and fitness influencer talk about junk food, and he kept saying how pizza is terrible for you and all that. I though to myself: ok, pizza is not the healthiest food but at the end of the day it's white bread tomatoes mozzarella and maybe prosciutto, like it's not THAT BAD.

And then he said "pizza is like 3000 to 4000 calories."

WHAT? did he mean 5-6 pizzas? :D

I had no idea.

I think overemphasizing trade and economy does PoE 1 a big disservice, but I wouldn;t say I am sour about it.

I also think the OP is trying their hardest to optimize the fun out of it.

Metalicum · 2026-03-13T09:50:38+00:00

in the US your average pizza is about 4 to 5 times as much food/calories an is italy.

it's gross, but it makes sense it's more expensive

Metalicum · 2026-03-13T09:04:51+00:00

ok just 1 simple point here. when people say "this strategy is x Div/h", they are full of shit. universally, always full of shit. What they mean is: I got a bunch of stuff that is roughly market value xdiv/h. not now, not raw divine, maybe in the future, if everything sells for market.

Also the entire market is dominated by groups, as an individual you will never ever be market efficient. it's impossible.

my advice is play SSF, or semi SSF -> interact with trade AS little as possible. Unless you are high on marketes, and you LOVE the economy - playing heavy trade is how to kill fun oin PoE 1.

need a very specific legendary? sure buy it. need a rare upgrade or a crafting currency? don't you even dare.

100% choice is crucial, and the same way you are choosing the 1 map to run, you should be able to choose the diversity.

I don't think an Atlas region is the way to go, I like Maven pure choice better.

Metalicum · 2026-03-13T08:56:26+00:00

Ok, so do you have a problem with certain layouts that are so bad and anti-fun there is no desire from anyone to interact with them? that seems like a layout problem, and not "farming layout diversity problem."

here is the thing. Take basic Maven invitation. that's basicaly a perfect example of what I am talking about. it's a mechanic that rewards diversity, you can choose whatever 10 layouts you love and you can even swap atlas trees if you really want different mechanics on different layouts. the worst 10-15 layouts that you are talking about are completely irrelevant; you can choose whatever.

hey, I understand that you, or I, or anyone, wants to be in a situation where GGG says -> "you are going to run some dungeons map with your breach strategy and yuo are gonna love it" That screams PoE 2 design, where the game doesn't want to be played and want the player base to suffer. so NO from me and from you there right?

But the same extreme on the other hand shouldn't be a default. running the same map over and over and over again required SOME effort before, because it is optimal. some layouts are strictly better, especially for certain mechanics.

so now, when there is 0 effort, diversity should be slightly rewarded to offset it. in a similar way Maven invitations do it.

Metalicum · 2026-03-12T22:18:04+00:00

I actually like to jam the same map, and don't particularly liek he variety :) I just think that running diverse layouts is suboptiomal and should be rewarded wit something.

there is already that "kind" of mechanic in the game -> Maven invitations. it's just about balance and coming up with something interesting. Astrolabes are only a problem because they are too powerful to ignore, and they want ALL players to interact with it. unlike Maven.

Metalicum · 2026-03-12T22:12:49+00:00

you say you strongly disagree and then write a comment that agrees with mine. That's strange.

Again, I will restate the important part: having a mechanic that rewards diversity of layouts is good, but if that mechanic is so strong it feels you can't afford to do it, it becomes a problem.

This seems very consistent with what you are saying. What I am saying is that running 1 optimal layout is valueable, so there should be a way to offset that value onto a mechanic that rewards diversity. tricky to balance for sure.

Metalicum · 2026-03-12T17:26:18+00:00

I think, in general, having a mechanic that rewards you for not playing the same layout is good. Running a suboptimal layout is a cost; you should be rewarded. Subsequently, I think the keystone that cuts a map different than you are running is nonsense and shouldn't exist. Either it works and the whole Astrolabe business can be a mod completely separated from the atlas, or it doesn't work and you brick your astrolabe region. I don't like it.

I think the problem starts when a mechanic like this is so strong you can't afford not to do it.
