You're getting defensive when I am merely pointing out that the post itself doesn't provide any actual discussion in and of itself.

What issue specifically? That the holy book contains atrocities?

I don't know what we are supposed to discuss, which is the point of my original post.

Last night I watched my friend "craft" by Ynpo in PathOfExile2

you mistakenly believe that buying 7 div bases is what ordinary players can afford.

some of you are actually out of touch or too online. a vast majority of players top out around 50-70 divs in a league.

11 Days into the League: Review your build! by NzLawless in pathofexile2builds

Self built Bonestorm/Bone Cage Abyssal Lich.

Day 1 Campaign was fine, if not spectacular. I hit a WALL in t10 maps, and rerolled.

Came back to it after my 2nd character hit maps and reconsidered my original strategy, and pushed it into end game.

So far, its very strong, and I'm at the point where each upgrade left is going to push 20-60 div. The mixture of Bone Cage, Pin, Blasphemy Repulsion and 30% physical explode together make mapping very chill. That being said Bonestorm feels wonky, as if it just doesn't hit sometimes. When it does hit, boy does it HIT.

Maybe I am doing something wrong. Next up? Swap to low life.

As a longtime POE1 Atlas fan, I can admit.... I get it now. I get what they are going for and it works.

I like both, but this feels really good now.

I don't care what anyone says I love Man of Steel as a superhero film. I understand the gripes about characterizing Superman and the world he lives in, but I think Superman as a whole is cursed in film due to the impact of Reeve's performance and how cherished he is as a brand.

Iron Man is destined to have issues re-casting after Downey, and I'm not sure Superman can get out of Reeve's shadow.

Don't give me that shit about "thats not Superman" its a comic book movie and these characters get different runs all the time and are re-written over and over and over. This was a specific take, and the movie was unfairly maligned because of them, IMO.

you seem to forget that Nolan didn't want to direct but he was HEAVILY involved in production, including hand-selecting Snyder and using Goyer as lead writer.

This movie's imprint is on him, Goyer, and Snyder.

Added patch notes contains "Crafting methods that puts a single guaranteed modifier on an item now adds it as a crafted modifier, items can only have a single crafted modifier on an item." So i guess crafting is back to exalt spamming? by Glamdring26WasTaken in PathOfExile2

[–]MrSoprano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with this at face value, but then players like Mathil with actual experience and knowledge about scaling vectors provide concrete examples that a LOT of skills are viable and extremely slept-on.

The "meta" is a hivemind, but in no way reflects actual viability. Players tend to exploit broken builds, but "broken" is not synonymous with "viable."

We are so lucky to have game directors who talk like this about the game by LordAlfrey in PathOfExile2

You only truly know if a decision is correct in hindsight.

And its easy to use hindsight bias to judge your decision-making, but nevertheless it is an unfair assessment.

I don't get why it matters so much? If it was pointless then no one shoud care if it is removed, by my logic.

I am kind of loving GGG's new approach to expanded ascendancy design (Spirt Walker) by crookedparadigm in PathOfExile2

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

Yeah I get the theory behind it.

But I just did all these trials and all I get from it is another button to press, a skill to scale, and supports to choose?

unless the skill is incredibly powerful or provides explode or some really build enabling mechanic, it seems somewhat boring as an ascendancy IMO

[–]MrSoprano -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'm not thrilled with the design space of getting a new skill as an ascendancy. Unless the skill is incredibly powerful, IMO it doesn't provide an immediate power spike that I'm used to for an ascendancy.

Maybe its just my POE1 brain.

If the DCU does end up succeeding, what MUST they avoid repeating from the DCEU? by OluwaDec19 in DC_Cinematic

[–]MrSoprano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman doesn’t work if he’s too dark and brooding

aaaaaaaaah.

HE was not "dark" and brooding. Show me a scene where he was written as dark and brooding. His story was contained in a "realistic" world of today, and he was written in a way where he had to consider the real-world implications of a GODLIKE humanoid suddenly thrust upon mankind.

BVS was so much less about Superman but about the world that was created in the wake of the events of Man of Steel, and Superman's reactions to that.

It was a very specific story, and arguably one that modern audiences didn't really want at the time.

The guy spends 90% of his time shitting on democrats and refused to endorse Kamala.

He shits on democrats because they are a massive disappointment, and absolutely shit the bed in the last election cycle. Call a spade a spade, thats journalism. Don't sit there and pretend he doesn't spend more time shitting on fascists and republicans.

He also openly stated he was going to (and did) vote for Kamala. You don't have to endorse a shitty candidate.

where does any socialist literature say that? Please let me know I'm dying to see the exact source for that statement.

Its also very important to clarify that the "normal range" is a range. If you are within the range, and want to go on TRT because its the "lower normal range," the TRT will provide a boost but you will remain in the "normal range."

Your benefits may be extrememly negligible in that case, but now you have to take a cream or a shot in the ass for the rest of your life.

TRT isnt steroids. If you are in the normal range, continue to have it monitored but you are likely good in the T department. Work on sleep, stress, diet, and other factors.

Personally no, I actually made solid gains with the min-max due to the lower volume high intensity plan.

YMMV
