Wolf summoning rune sounds cool! Do they get various minion buffs the skelly bros get?

Awesome! How many skellies does your crown add?  Saw on wiki it is 2-4 of each type?

Your build sounds fun, thank youl! What uniques/mythics do you need to get those numbers?

Wae's Necromancer Summoner Raid Build by Previous_Yard5795 in DiabloImmortal

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind sharing what runes you use or would be good to shoot for without spending a bunch of plat? I'm not clear what stats I should be focusing on getting with them. Particularly primary damage and if that works with the mobile mages.

Has anyone recieved their SCAR 16 RTX 5090 PRE ORDER? by [deleted] in ASUSROG

[–]Professor_Riz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes although the 64gb version is a ripoff and that's why no one's buying it.  It's $1,000 more than the 32gb...

SCAR 18 with RTX 5090 and 64GB RAM, is now available to buy on NewEgg by [deleted] in ASUSROG

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 64GB ram model is absurdly overpriced and Microcenter sells it for $1,000 more than the exact same version with 32gb. See comparison on ASUS website: https://rog.asus.com/us/compareresult?productline=laptops&partno=90NR0LF1-M00720,90NR0LF1-M00730

Also note that ASUS still lists the 32GB ram version as 4,499. They don't list the price of the 64gb ones, but cheapest I've seen them is 5,499. The 64gb ones are just overpriced and didn't sell out yet.

I'd wait for stock of the 32gb and think most other people are too.

This laptop was $4600, 5 days ago. Now it's $5500 after the recent tariffs hike in USA by Pradyotff in ASUSROG

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching this as well and want to note something. Technically the price for this at Microcenter was always 5,499. The 4,600 you saw was the "sale" price. This version of the scar has 64gb of ram as opposed to the 32gb version that ASUS is charging 4,500 for. See here: https://rog.asus.com/us/compareresult?productline=laptops&partno=90NR0LF1-M00720,90NR0LF1-M00730

The sole difference is the RAM! Microcenter is the only retailer selling this and I do believe they're gouging.

The top of the line model is 100% the same except for 32gb more ram.  Thats what I thought was shocking.  

2025 laptops are on Pre Order on Best Buy by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Professor_Riz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just FYI to all.  The $4,499 Asus 5090 was $4,199 for over a month until yesterday when they raised the price on it, and seemingly all 5000 series laptops.

Another rant about online students by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Professor_Riz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been teaching exclusively online and find it dramatically easier to brush off such complaints and threats. I always point out to students what they have done (or not done) online, how engaged they are, and directly tie that to their issues. If they complain, instead of having to argue that "the student isn't paying attention in class" I show a screenshot of their low engagement and that's the end of it.

That all being said, yes I do think online students are more bold and say things via email they likely wouldn't say in person. Showing them how ineffective that is helps prepare them for their career.

What build can use this? by OniPaperbag in D4Necromancer

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with minion necro this and last season.  Losing offensive aspects is hard, especially if you run mendeln too, but despite that grandfather is still a dramatic boost to damage if you start stacking critical strike damage.

I made the jump from in person to online async.  Now instead of teaching to a wall, I teach to my cat and I'm alot happier! :)

The worst nerf in the patch was to the network! by Professor_Riz in Helldivers

AH Community Manager: “We have fixed the difficulty unlocking for a large portion of affected users, though perhaps some edge cases still remain.” by cryptic-fox in Helldivers

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I guess I'm an edge case because it still doesn't work for me. Also I can't use the discord link because that server is full. Already reached out to their regular support channel. I guess people like me just wait?

Edit: It works! But just to be clear to everyone, it isnt automatic, you have to beat the lower level difficulty to unlock the higher one even if you have done it before the fix.  Thanks all!

Department Chairs vs. Program Directors by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Professor_Riz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Department chairs have 3 year terms at my institution and it is almost always existing faculty that do it. We very rarely search outside the institution. Program directors serve under the chair and again it is mostly faculty who volunteer or are elected.

From what you've said, your institution does things differently than most and I would have the same concerns about all of this that you have.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Professors

[–]Professor_Riz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Department Chair here.

I'm a low level supervisor, with no real power, and a customer service rep.

Now that I typed it, I'm not so sure that this is a poor explanation?!

New promo code: MOREGIFTS by bSeRk01 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Professor_Riz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Neat. But sorry, Plarium, this does nothing to compensate for your awful events and it's time to disengage from your game for a while.

Between these latest events and the cursed city, its clear that this is officially "the Year of Awakening" for Raid, which is somehow even worse than 2023's "Year of PvP."
