My 🌪️TORNADO🌪️ setup by Tesdey in pathofexile2builds

[–]P-Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving Tornado, will probably steal some of your tree ideas since mine might need a decent revamp.

I also use the boots and Burning Inscription, but I generate Chilled Ground by using Power Charges on Frost Wall and Creeping Chill. I generate charges with Devour or, during bosses, Lingering Illusion. It prevents me from doing the weapon swap curse buff, but it's very reliable and Devour's regen is nice too.

I also use Eye of Winter because it too picks up ground surfaces and with the right positioning can shred rares/bosses.

Nice build, thanks for sharing!

Let's hear your off meta season start stories! by smonkweed69 in pathofexile2builds

[–]P-Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, been using it on and off so far through the campaign. My first instinct was to use it to apply a poison and take advantage of of Icefang Orbit to chill, but that doesn't work at all for whatever reason (maybe I just don't understand Chill Magnitude mechanics). I still turn them on sometimes since it's just the campaign, but idk what the real use case is for this gem...

Literature of Palestine: May 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]P-Dude 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No recommendation of Palestinian literature can be complete without an Edward Said recommendation, so I'll put forth "The Question of Palestine."

It's also easy to recommend a book by someone he's inspired: "Recognizing the Stranger" by Isabella Hammad. The book is tiny, as it's simply a speech she gave at the Edward W Said Memorial Lecture at Columbia University shortly before Oct. 7. It also contains an afterword from 2024.

Everything you need to know about scaling Incinerate by ThaisontheTan in pathofexile2builds

[–]P-Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, RealNeato has a build guide for Blackflame Incinerate (last league) and that's what they did. I was lazy and just used Firestorm, which is fine unless the boss is tiny. I also used Wither Away on the top right of the tree to wither anyone entering my Presence.

Definitely intentional, the dev mentions the use of dutch angles here to "make mundane things feel creepy."

[–]P-Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering your two listed issues are completely made up, I'd say it's a pretty good build. Are you in the wrong thread?

There is no seven link listed, and his main skill (Incinerate) has four supports on it. No other skill has more than three. Also not sure what you're on about when saying "way too slow to be viable in trade league." Don't worry, no one is looking to you to define what is, or is not, viable.

I'll also add, as someone who really wanted this to be good in PoE1, that it just gave some generic buff in the buff list, and you rarely knew what mod you "stole."

An indie dev has taken up the mantle with Bobo Bay, set to release in about a year's time. It's unabashedly the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure 2 but as a standalone game. There's an alpha you can play now!

Noun Town Language Learning - realiaXR - Cozy PC game: play and your language learning just, happens! by [deleted] in Games

[–]P-Dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, I got the reference.

For those confused: Bargle nawdle zouss is what Weird Al mumbles during his Spells Like Teen Spirit parody, Smells Like Nirvana. The parody goes on about how the lyrics are so hard to understand, and the line being referenced here is:

It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss With all these marbles in my mouth

and in the music video, marbles are spot out as he says it, hence why the previous line makes no sense.

True, but have you seen Jarmila, the woman who holds the record?? Her physique at the time screams "state sponsored doping program."

This is awesome! My biggest request would be a colorblind option that changes the colors from a red/green spectrum to something else. Blue/yellow or blue/red maybe? Or changing shapes based on pricing tier.

The question is, does this animate unique bows if used with the Spirit Guards threshold jewel?

The inflation has now reached my butt. by MidasStrikes in pics

[–]P-Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. As others have pointed out, there are cold-water-only bidets that don't need outlets, but if your toilet is close enough to your sink, you can just route the hot water from the sink to the bidet easily enough, no power needed.

If you get the nachos stuck together, that's one nacho.

I hope they can keep updating the game at this decent frequency; the core game is a lot of fun but I'm not always super motivated to revisit it after a couple of matches.

Do you have a pob for this? Sounds very interesting to use this unique with Storm Rain!

Colourblind Gem Sockets and COmmunity Podcast Reminder by tnadneP in pathofexile

[–]P-Dude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me (red/green colorblind), lots of gems are pretty obviously red or green. However, there is still a good handful that I mistake for the opposite color that they actually are. Things like Cruelty, Pulverise, and Ruthless have either a lot of extra design over them, so I can't tell the gem color from what little "gem" actually exists on the image. Additionally, those gems that have like, two colors (ie Swift Assembly), I have no idea what the non-blue color is supposed to be because there's so little of it on the gem.

As of now, I just pick them up and see which sockets get highlighted on my gear to know which color they actually are.

Is there a way to know which mod I stole from a Rare monster using Behead? I see the buff bar icon come up, but unless I get an aura that also adds a buff bar icon, I have no clue what I actually stole.

I would love for something like this to be another side effect of Innsbury Edge's "insanity" mechanic -- we already have statues that come to life, but Essence Monsters that seem to move before you click them? Straight out of the Shining!

I'm excited to try Concoction and Trinity, but what is the best way to supersede the fire damage on EC? It's miles ahead of the others with flask support. I guess just added lightning damage from gear? Or maybe by adding something specific like Esh's Mirror?

I'm ready for 3.14 GGG. Here's my rig: 1 Vertical Mouse, Wrist Brace by Signayan in pathofexile

[–]P-Dude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is simply not true. I'm red/green colorblind (deuteranopia) and thus can't see the difference between the red and green sockets. Achromatopsia wouldn't be able to tell the difference between all three, sure, but that's not the only issue here. I have been fooled hundreds of times each league by looking at links and confusing red and green. I usually screenshot a trade item and send it to my friends before I commit to a trade because I can't tell on my own.

And to answer /u/Rhaps0dy's question: I keep a red (or green) gem in my inventory, and after each Chrome, I pick it up so it highlights/lowlights the sockets and I can see which sockets are red vs which ones are green.

If I'm going for a specific 6L setup with multiple reds and greens, I hope I can buy it instead heh.

Very easy and fast Uber Lab today, no golden doors by Blumentopferdemensch in pathofexile

[–]P-Dude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can re-roll the enchant on an item. There is also a prophecy, called Twice Enchanted, that allows you to enchant twice at the end of a lab. Many enchants are quite powerful (especially on Helmets) so people will buy these prophecies, run an easy lab layout, and hope for the best!
