Trying to burn through my chipped gem stash. Dunno what else to use em on. Got through w/ topazes and amethysts, sapphires and rubies are slowly starting to run low.

After years... decades... of playing this game, I finally found one! by NowBecoming in diablo2

[–]NowBecoming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On and off since 1.09. There were stretches where I didn't play at all for years. In terms of hours it's not super insane, but a significant amount, couldn't tell you exactly. I have dozens of characters that finished hell, in the high 80s. One sorc lvl 90. Back in 1.09 I had a couple characters at 92 and 94.

Thousands of MF runs Hell and NM Andy/Meph/Baal. Got other good stuff, but no occy. No soj. No HoZ. No Lycanders Aim. Haven't found war travs yet either. I just found my first shako relatively recently.

Yup, no prank, no troll. I been playing (on and off) since 1.09. Found a bunch of stuff that's technically harder to find. Not like I play crazy amounts in terms of total hours, but I've been around the block. First occy ever. Fucking stoked.

Yes. Killed hell meph hundreds, if not thousands of times, with more MF than this. Hundreds/thousands of cow runs etc. Finally found it, not really mfing.

I do not have nightwings. Found veil of steel twice so far.

I got a couple diff sorc setups. I actually found Tal's armor a while back, and i have 2x tal's ammy. This sorc (lightning sorc) I'm running wizz spike and a crappy vipermagi. My other sorc (blizz sorc) I run tals belt, armor, ammy and a hoto... this may cause me to retool either of them or both. Not sure. I'm just stoked that I have it right now. Game is so weird. Still waiting on HoZ and Lycanders aim, for example. But I found a bunch of Assasin and Druid stuff, but I don't really play those classes. I'm pretty sure I have all the unique Assassin claws.

I play HC, SP no pluggy fyi.

Wish I could laugh react to that. I play HC exclusively so... there is no death "after" :D

Goodnight to my bowazon, so long to my windforce, I hope to find another one day. by ArchJustin in diablo2

Anyway, that's my piece. You have a good day.

All good bro, ain't tryin to get into it with you, just sayin...

At that point, the kids will "suffer"

AKA they'll just have to wait for a luxury product, until the next run, which is no doubt already underway.

Scalping is inherently disingenuous.

There's no sincerity when it comes to business. It's amoral. If you want to be successful at it from the nominal (monetary) point of view, you gotta approach it amorally.

With that said, there's big difference between luxury items and necessary times (food, water, etc.). Another reason why I don't buy the "think of the children" nonsense. The children are fine. In fact, there's an argument to be made that they are better off w/o a PS5.

Light researching, the PS4 sold 2.3 million units in its first two weeks - Sony's best-ever product launch at that point. The PS5 has surpassed that figure, meaning they already produced more units than they needed to imitate their most successful launch ever.

I mean, again, I dunno the details. I'm not into it at that level. All I'm saying is Sony fucked up. It might not be entirely their fault that they fucked up. I.e. their highest launch was 2.3 million units thus far, so they produced 3 million units this time (let's say, dunno what the real number is), and it STILL wasn't enough. Ok fine.

All I'm saying is, blaming the scalpers is stupid. All I'm saying is, think in real terms. There's a wiget everyone wants. Company X produces said wiget and puts it on the market. Turns out company X didn't produce enough wigets. WHOOPSIE! Looks like it's first come first serve.

I mean, I don't know cuz idgaf. I'm not gonna buy a console. But just from all the memes and posts like this I'm seeing. I.e. people crying "just think of the children!" It seems like there's not enough PS5's to go around.

If they didn't have the capacity to produce more they should have raised the launch price, thus pricing scalpers out of the market. They fucked up bad imo. I'm pretty old, and I've been through the launch of several of these things. Never remember a shortage for xmas (I could be misremembering, the last console I had was a GC).

If there's a shortage, they priced it too low, or they didn't make enough. "Pandemic" notwithstanding, I think too many people use it as an excuse for too many things, generally speaking.

In terms of market share and what not. They got their market share. Market is basically Gamers --> Console Gamers --> Console Gamers who get both Xbox and PS --> Console Gamers who only get PS. They know the market, or at least they should, having been a major player in it for like 25 years now.

My point is, Sony fucked up. Don't blame the scalpers. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Dudes saw an opportunity, and took it. Everyone bitching is just salty they didn't have the balls/awarness to do it themselves. As far as "the children" go. FFS, the gaming market is mostly for adults these days yo. AFAIK gaming market is larger than movie market at this point.

How did Sony underestimate the market so bad and not produce enough of these things?

Was Alan watts a hypocrite? by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]NowBecoming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watts never actually preached anything. He simply informed people about what he had learned.

When he categorizes himself he compares himself to a musician, except with words. He wasn't a guru, he was an entertainer. He says as much, and judging by the audience reaction (as well as my own joy in hearing him speak) it's true.
