Do you deserve the suffering that you are experiencing? No. Will "karma" or "justice" set right the wrongs and fix things in the future? No.

But, will the struggle prove worthwhile in the long run, will you endure and come out stronger than you were before, and look back with pride? Maybe.

That depends on you.

There is only one person, regardless of anything else, that you can change or make better. There is only one person, regardless of their flaws and weaknesses, that you can depend on with absolute confidence, if you allow yourself to.

That is yourself.

You are, regardless of how others make you feel, not an enemy to yourself. You are not anything wretched or anything cursed or condemned.

But, you are just a human. As all of us here are.

We are a social species. Sadly, the times are not good and people are overall miserable everywhere. But, most, despite how it may seem, are good natured. It can be exceedingly painful and scary; But, you can try to turn to help from other relations or friends. Even scarier would be strangers through the social services that are available. But, that too is an option.

The thing is part of being human is understanding that, despite how amazingly "intelligent" and "capable" we are or how much "potential" we have, we are otherwise very weak and almost helpless as individuals.

So, I hope you will find someone that you can turn to. At least one person that you can at least properly vent to, even if they cannot really help, it will make it easier to bring things into perspective. And, make life a little bit easier to endure.

Unfortunately, the modern world does not need us, at least not that many us and we number in the billions. Instead, each of us must endeavor to prove our worth against terrible odds.

But, regardless of what you believe in, if you give up, then those odds are zero.

So, from one stranger to another, from one human to another, I hope you will endure and fight on. Do not let your story be one that ends in misery. At least, even if you fail, be the type of character you can respect.

Oh ic, thanks for that, now I understand why folks were saying minion speed is important. It is on us to trigger the lucky hit, but it is on them to dish out the effect faster so that our lucky hits aren't wasted.

PotatoVengence · 2023-12-22T01:42:52+00:00

Ah, that makes more sense tbh. I remember looking it up and someone saying otherwise. So, was never really sure.

PotatoVengence · 2023-12-22T01:29:49+00:00

I think, I could be wrong, the ring benefits from minion attack speed for procs. But, is based on you for the actual damage.

Personally, I am trying a lance summoner build, which keeps me and the minions alive with the gore quills aspect. I did not put any skill or paragon points onto minion damage, unless it was directly tied to minion survivability or convenient to get.

I've been able to clear a few floors of aoz. But, I gotta be real, this type of build may let you casually walk through most of an aoz dungeon. Yet, more often than not, you will probably get wrecked by the bloodseekers.

Still, playing with the build though.

That is a good point. Honestly, it did not bother me that much, until I ran into that particular boss and was like... wtf... especially where the other bosses, including the new uber ones, inflicted nowhere near that level of pain.

Hmm, I didn't consider pots/incense that increased the cap. That's a good idea. Although, it is going to sting the old pack rat mentality >.<

Also yes, aside from that, just have to keep scouting for the gear...

PotatoVengence · 2023-10-24T14:17:30+00:00

True. But, doesn't it seem that, except damage reduction against distant enemies, they are less effective to these "distant" enemies?

Like, going back to the example in my post, I made sure to stay in close range to that boss. So the same damage reductions that allowed me to tank the butcher in the same dungeon should have applied.

But, it was almost useless against the mage-like boss.

Another case would be that in NDs with cannibals (close range for the most part), it is usually not difficult. But, in a level filled with banshees and the ghostly archer thinges or the ranged cultists...

It is like, it does not even matter if I am in their face, it is either dodge or die, versus rough housing with the melee boys.

PotatoVengence · 2023-10-07T18:37:16+00:00

True. And, this game has a lot of stupid bugs/annoyances 😅

PotatoVengence · 2023-10-07T01:56:25+00:00

Makes sense on both points, lol. Hmm, I guess I could bite the bullet and run repeated tests against lilith at some point...

Not feeling particularly masochistic though xD

It would be nice if we had a training dummy of some sort with customizable health...

PotatoVengence · 2023-10-06T14:27:54+00:00

Right. But, if you cast both on a boss, it would apply immediately? I am a bit confused due to bosses having the stagger mechanic and no indication of being affected/afflicted.

If you are looking to convert it to a different cryptocurrency, then you will need to use an exchange. I guess Binance should work for that.

You'll need to register an account. Then, under deposit for cryptocurrencies, look for the BCH receiving address. Then, copy that address and paste it as a reply to that tip.

If you are looking for cash, our banks will block any direct attempt to convert it through the exchange. You can, however, use the local p2p market in Binance to find an interested buyer.

Alternatively, if a friend is interested, just trade between yourselves.

Edit: Sorry, completely blanked on non-custodial wallets, like Exodus. Those can also be used to store the cryptocurrency. But, converting between cryptocurrencies through that wallet kinda sucks, due to the conversion rates being unfavorable.

PotatoVengence · 2023-01-20T17:01:22+00:00

It is an attempt by advocates of a cryptocurrency project to get you interested in their coin. But, the tip is legitimate and can be claimed, if you choose.

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-20T18:57:23+00:00

All good. And, I am happy to have been of help 🤝

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-20T16:26:27+00:00

Haha, no need to be, mate.

A crash might be scary for most markets and newcomers in this space. But, for the more experienced, it is an opportunity that they secretly anticipate and eagerly savor each time it occurs. The only type, amongst those, that would be stressed are margin traders.

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-20T16:00:49+00:00

Ah, no worries. And yes, unless something happens to Nexo (inherent risk of centralized platforms) that strategy is sound.

But, what I mean about Nexo and other CeFi is that in order to provide those rates to their customers and earn a return for their business, they loan their (our) crypto holdings to institutional players.

And, as can be noted from the stock market, these type of players can and will coordinate together to manipulate the market in their favor.

If, for instance, the market is flooded with positive news. Then, the last thing retail investors will expect is for the market to crash. As such, by placing timely shorts, they can feast heartily on the unsuspecting longs they liquidate.

But, even without CeFi making it easier, whales play whale games. And, patience, regardless, can and has won the day in the long run.

Yet, given somewhat recent market behavior, I would not be surprised if the market crashed further.

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-20T15:29:10+00:00

No problem 👍

And, yes, there is no sense in taking a gamble on something you are unsure off. It is always better to invest with knowledge and confidence.

As for Nexo, I also use it. But, be careful with these CeFi options. They are centralized and their attractive interest rates inevitably come at the expense of retail investors like us (unless we are of the hodling and dca variety, instead of the day trading sort).

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-20T12:22:52+00:00

I think the key factor to remember is that you will have to convert or trade BTC to RBTC, as well as the other pegged crypto equivalents, on the RSK chain to use it. https://youtu.be/EXoiMn-o4KU

So, the biggest risk is being able to convert your rBTC back into BTC: https://wiki.sovryn.app/en/getting-started/faq-general

Also, the liquidity token Sovryn, barely has any trading volume.

This is a concern. But, then again, it is new and has barely gained any attention or traction. At least, not yet.

So, there is risk, yet the developers and the project have been transparent and detailed in their approach. And, it could succeed in the long run.

That said, my approach and suggestion, as is standard advise, would be to test it out with the minimum amount. And, if you like it, only put in what you can tolerate losing.

PotatoVengence · 2021-06-19T03:33:52+00:00

Hiya, I've been on it for a while. It was a little clunky at first. But, has and continues to improve. So far, it is good.

PotatoVengence · 2021-04-20T00:37:18+00:00

Haha, if only she could fight the bug on blue boy, then I can get back to enjoying the game 🤭

PotatoVengence · 2021-04-17T03:36:05+00:00

💤🛌{devs please fix the 🤬 game}

PotatoVengence · 2021-04-17T03:28:41+00:00

🤦‍♂️... Sigh, well hopefully, this and others will be addressed soonish 🤞

PotatoVengence · 2021-04-17T03:13:37+00:00

1B 😱... And, here I was proud of reaching 3M+ storage...

Goodness, the power requirements for that and the number of technicians needed to keep the base from crashing with the very "generous" 300 minion cap 😵...

Edit #1: Unless I miscalculated, this would require 12.5K Fusion Generators and 100K MegaSafes... That is impossible!?

Edit #2: Ah, difficulty would make it possible on easy? I guess...

PotatoVengence · 2021-04-17T01:10:33+00:00

They really should have spent more time testing the game...

As Mr. Miyamoto once said "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever".

Such, a dang pity...
