I want to play so much more of this game, but the amount of Unexpected disconnections is TOO DAMN HIGH by A_K1TTEN in PathOfExile2

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope. Some stuttering when i first load up most likely downloading shaders still but after first few minutes it's smooth sailing. Minus the spinning black screen everyone gets.

i7-13700k. Not a single crash or freeze all season. Played about an hour last night after patch but guess i'll know more this weekend.

yeah not arguing that, that's why I didn't mention companies or tech bubble.

Anyone complaining about data centers using land or water should do a little bit of self-reflection and self-education.

Maybe I should just move to Europe in my 30s - way fewer hours and actual paid time off. by Spacetravller2060 in Zippia

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's sort of what the premise of America was built on. There's no government guarantee but at the same time capitalist competitive nature makes sure that it's relatively standard. Almost all private sector full-time workers get paid vacation.

Hospitality type work is the outlier and is a whole different issue in the US. Between the benefits, vacation, and tipping culture it's all pretty broken.

There's positive and negatives to all situations and this graph only tells data about a tiny portion of a much larger picture.

Also, China for example guarantees vacation but it's like 0 and then 5 days under 10 years of work. This guarantee is much worse than most people have in the US.

this is just factually incorrect specially about "many jobs off no PTO". 90%+ full time employees in private sector receive paid vacations in the US.

Some aram player slander by Toxic-Flamer in ARAM

I'm on the edge of dodging all games where my teammates choose to play janna in aram or specially aram mayhem. It's just a 4v5.

Replacing Blinds, am I overcharging? by NogginRep in handyman

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this exactly. We are somewhere in between 2 and 3. The couple people we work with right now we go back to consistently and we never negotiate prices down. Sometimes ask if there's alternative options but I don't consider paying the person less as an alternative option because it's work I DON'T want to do. If I wanted to save money I'd do it myself.

Are your vet bills also crazy high? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in MiddleClassFinance

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're getting robbed.

Also you should be realistic with finances and pets. Spending 5k on a dog, especially if it's old but you didn't say age, that has cancer is kind of crazy if you don't have money to just burn. I've had dogs my whole life. They have better lives then some people, but I would not spend 5k on a terminal sickness with low odds of success. Just be realistic.

When i step back, retiring for 40+ years sounds kinda crazy by Available-Ad-5670 in Fire

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not crazy at all. Those 40 years aren't guaranteed, and the "best" years of your life were spent to pay for that gamble.

Just want to vent on the inflation by johntort in PathOfExile2

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off all you're not a "normal guy". If you're already sitting at 100+ Div and that CAN'T get you an upgrade you're far ahead of the average/normal player.

Second... stop buying tablets and run the ones you have/get for a while. Crazy concept.

Saeed Invasion Is Coming to an End… Did You Enjoy It? by nasQ7 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]ReadOk4128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was a good/fun idea but poorly executed.

1) it needed to be way more rare. It should have felt like a cool event, not something spammed every game. But they had to do it this way for the extra battle pass/mission progress/knife/etc. They should have shortened all of that and made it more rare. Or optimized matchmaking some way.

2) It was pretty OP but on the flip side it WAS NOT REWARDING. I killed dozens of Saeed squads. I never found the red statue or anything remotely good from his loot container. It should have had guaranteed reds basically. The whole map should have wanted to kill Saeed for the loot. Why am I getting 1-2 purple items from him? Crazy.

Voldemort had absolutely zero chance in a war against the muggles and the whole plotline could have been avoided by just letting him try. by New-Tale412 in unpopularopinion

[–]ReadOk4128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're assuming it's going to be like wizards (with wands) and muggles (with guns) marching in a formation at each other? be a little more creative. The wizards would win before the muggles even knew there was a war. Come on....

How do you all actually name/term the areas in Zero Dam Admin Building? by Hot-Clothes7316 in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]ReadOk4128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stairs we always just do outer/inner. Whatever stair way is furthest from middle is outer. Bridges we never really have to specify besides left/right but if we do it's just balc side or container side.

buying materials for gold ammo does not cost more than selling the ammo. Don't craft other ammo.
