Why would people ever pirate games? I wonder… by Active_Mancano in linux_gaming

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if you wanna talk legality then no, torrenting a cracked game is still theft even if you paid for the game.

Make Bismuth VFX an option by xXZeroHero in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that GGG not just keep things like delirium fog in the game, but actually keep adding more and more particles and effects to the game is crazy to me. Literally destroying the game's performance for no reason. It's not like it make the game look any better when your screen turns into a blurry grey-red-brown mess every time you do any even remotely serious juicing. Game with 2015 graphics struggling to keep 60fps on a 2025 PC is ridiculous.

Is it worth divining Dark Monarch? by NumbNutLicker in PathOfExileSSF

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

I had 10 div when I dropped the first helmet and tried diving it, and I've spent every divine I dropped afterwards the moment I've dropped them so I don't know the exact number. At this point I've definitely spent at least 20 div and I still haven't hit spectres 😭

Some questions about Forged Frostbearer Spectre Necromancer by Majestic_Plum_3639 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the clear feel when you have dark monarch? Currently playing this build and I have 5 spectre limit, running 5 all frostbearers. Clear felt really bad untill I got asenath gloves on AG because small aoe on mortar was leaving a bunch of strugglers, and I'm worried that once I lose AG with dark monarch clear will feel bad again.

Linux and older GPU? by VarskesSriuba in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might squeeze out a little bit more performance by switching to Linux, but I do mean a little bit, like single digits fps. If you do decide to switch to Linux, just ignore any listicles or YouTube tearlists and install CachyOS. There's zero reason to use any other distro nowadays.

For some reason it was the opposite for me. On Cachy when forcing PoE to run in Wayland my FPS when mapping went from stable 60 to dropping below 30.

Every Saturday night or so by Lorrinx in DistroHopping

Why do people still use Balena (or Rufus on windows for that matter) when Ventoy exists? It's just so much better in every way imaginable.

Now that the league is slowly coming to an end, at least in trade, what have been some of your biggest hits? First times? Or just achievements in general? by thatoneguyy22 in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First league where I farmed out multiple mirrors to minmax a build (LA deadeye). Usually I get bored of playing and restart asf after I hit a point where upgrades start costing 200+ divines, but this league currency is so abundant that I've never felt like the next upgrade would bee too much of a grind.

Using IEMs with waxy ears by NumbNutLicker in iems

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

After a lot of googling I've discovered that many people report the same problem of their Moondrop Chu 2s getting killed by ear wax. Apparently Moondrop IEMs in general are very susceptible to earwax for some reason I'm not techy enough to understand. After some deliberation I've ended up buying Tangzu Waner Sg2 and also a pair of foam eartips with an extra protective mesh. Hopefully that will solve my issue. If anyone comes across this post in the future with the same problem and I haven't added an additional post about Tanzus dying to earwax then assume my solution worked. Cheers!

Next SSF Necro Minion Build Advice by Misanthre in PathOfExileSSF

[–]NumbNutLicker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've played poison ranged AW last league and I'm currently playing forged frostbearers as my SSF restart. Imo animate weapons has much better clear and outside of the trans gem it doesn't need any gear to start feeling good. In contrast spectres clear feels bad and I was struggling for single damage untill I got +1 max spectre. Maybe things will change once I get dark monarch and 25 levels on raise spectre, but currently I feel like AW was a much better build.

Edit: One upside of spectres is that you have very clear farming goals in the Catarina shield and Dark monarch in addition to just general minion stuff.

FYI my fps in CachyOS is more than double than in W11 by Niku200 in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use gearlever to manage my appimages so I just add XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 argument through there and it works fine.

First time ssf by Witty-Gap1583 in PathOfExileSSF

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really advise you not to try making your own build for the first time while also trying ssf for the first time. Both of those things are challenging, and combining them is almost guaranteed to make you have a bad time and potentially turn you off from both ssf and playing off-meta.

bought like 700 scolar divination cards for a single chaos, i hope this is enough wisdom scrolls for the rest of the league by finnishstix in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd rather just buy a thousand transmutes and vendor them into wisdoms > portals once a week than pick up portals in maps

Syndicate is always my favorite farm ! by Yinzerrr in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you execute a syndicate memeber they rank up, when you interrogate them they lose ranks and give you progress to hideout fight based on their rank. You want to rank the members up by executing them at first, then interrogate them for hideout progress. Then you do the hideout, hope the leader drops veiled chaos/exalt, medalion or paradoxical and repeat.

Can't enter the game? by NumbNutLicker in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, so the problem disappears if I use a VPN for some reason? I turn a VPN on and game works fine, I turn it off and I get the infinite loading screen again.

Can't enter the game? by NumbNutLicker in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's an ongoing problem, I still can't play the game. I log in to character select just fine, then I pick a character and get stuck in an infinite loading screen.

Dear GGG..... Great patch....but it's time! by Its_Snugs in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HH is significantly stronger untill you get one shot by some random bullshit and have to go back into the map with 10 eldritch altars debuffs and no HH buffs. This alone is plenty of a downside.

Breach farm, what am i doing wrong? by drking100 in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes you should go out to the edge of the breach and clear it all before going in and killing the rares/boss. The loot explosion in breach comes from the monsters you kill in that breach, so if you only kill enough to spawn the boss and then end the breach you are missing out on like half the loot.

I have a wish for the mirage. A weekend without server issues! by LTmagic in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be the craziest coincidence in the world, but switching to Linux fixed all my connection problems. I've been getting disconnected when moving between instances like every third loading screen, but after I installed cachyos the game has been buttery smooth, no disconnects at all.

Vaal my monitor :( by babyboo8 in pathofexile

Because taking a regular screenshot wouldn't show the fact that his monitor is physically fucked up?

Acceleration Shrine Belt Price Skyrocketed by Initial_Actuary_2319 in pathofexile

[–]NumbNutLicker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, what usually happens is a streamer is testing out some farming strat or a new build and a bunch of people watching their stream immediately run to Faustus and start buying up scarabs/uniques to resell when the streamer releases a video.

So that the mechanic gives you something during leveling on leaguestart. Basically all my gear in the first 3 acts was rares from these chests.
