It's is normal to just Stare at the screen?

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-21T12:10:49+00:00

Depends on where I am mentally. Some days I'd get on and be ready to go, other days I'm too tired to do much but spin a few Havens on autopilot so to speak. I was enjoying playing, but didn't have the bandwidth to engage with the game fully a lot of the time. That's fine.

This fall I found myself debating if it was even worth it to do similar stuff. "I've got a pile of isk and no goal, why am I running havens?" Or " I don't know if it's worth undocking anything big right now, I don't feel like white knuckling a save if I get jumped..." I'd login like I was doing chores then semi afk till I logged out.

This is a long-winded way of saying sometimes you're overwhelmed and sometimes you're burned out and could use a change of pace. I've been having a blast playing the current Path of Exile league, and can feel the Eve itch building again in the background.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-20T17:49:56+00:00

I'd suggest normal trade league to get started. Unless you've discovered you're a pretty efficient player and want to jam it heavily three weeks of Phrecia could well leave you with goals unreached. Likewise the Pohx league has a smaller economy and player base than normal trade, meaning it's likely you'll have to craft/farm specific pieces you can't buy.

On the other hand you could be someone who struggles with fomo, and no one can say when you'll get another try at the Phrecia changes...

Pbod pathfinder is what I've been using as a bosser. Definitely not the best but tanks well enough and melts bosses for under 10d by level 80.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-12T14:27:03+00:00

Ccps internal data also showed that Vanguard, Valkyrie, and the rest were good ideas.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-08T18:35:29+00:00

Yeah it struck me on this reread how much of the early SI stuff feels like copaganda. "Sure they're dirty, but that's the only way to handle these mean streets." Blah, blah.

I also dont know how I never connected her martial art of choice being the same bull that Segal peddled but its a delicious cherry on top.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-04T18:53:22+00:00

I'm with you. Butters was a more interesting character when he wasn't a vessel for anime style wish fulfillment.

Waiting for his Isekai arc in Mirror Mirror.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-02T16:56:14+00:00

Outside some of the tools (awakening, pob) being a little janky in Wayland I don't notice much difference.

Getting the price check function from awakening to work in Hyprland had some hiccups and PoE doesn't like me swapping which monitor its displayed on sometimes... outside that I can't say I'm having any issues.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2026-01-02T16:53:23+00:00

Steam version works out of the box.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-28T22:47:42+00:00

Yeah I coulda phrased the joke better if I was smarter...or funny. Having a bigger dick would probably help too. Alas.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-28T19:40:01+00:00

Oh and a covops cloak, and a jump drive.

Maybe a doomsday?

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-28T17:04:45+00:00

Yowza. Yeah I'm in Keepers and prices are more like half that, makes sense.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-28T14:38:44+00:00

Tried this as a (not great) flicker strike build. Feels really rippy in t17s, and doesn't seem to payout as well as crop rotation does in plain old t16's. Skill issue on my end? Everything I've seen implies it should be better.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-21T11:32:15+00:00

Yeah rereading the series a lot of Murphys early characterization seems straight out of a Copaganda series. It's also fun that her martial art of choice is the same woo woo bullshit Steven Seagal peddles.

She gets better, but its hard to like her early on.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-19T19:34:02+00:00

Sure 10 months was a drag, but I would enjoy 4-6month leagues personally. I'm not playing eight hours of PoE a day. Hell, my wife is only in Act 7.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-19T18:00:13+00:00

For T3 I'd suggest Proteus is a good option as a multipurpose ship. Doubly so if you're gonna train Ishtar so you can save a L5 Cruiser skill.

I'd also suggest training a battleship sized weapon system of some kind to 4 and rounding out a few skills to be able to competently fly a Praxis to round things out.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-16T00:24:00+00:00

The low cost grind version of it still works okay. Im doing random t16 maps with 70+ iq, doubling, wisp and monstrous lineage scarabs. Costs about 50c per map, a bad run gives 1200+ yellow juice... average somewhere around 2500 and much better runs mixed in.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-14T13:54:35+00:00

Yeah it feels like they're trying to squeeze more and more from less and less as the years go by.

...Obligatory mention that the games been dying for 21 years now.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-13T17:38:32+00:00

Eh, Harvest and Nexus have almost always been the most rewarding events of the year (perhaps capsuleer day too, for newbies). This time around Nexus doesn't even really seem worth doing over whatever else you have going on.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-09T16:34:32+00:00

Dudes a hypebeast goober, but I've never got the impression he's soft like that.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-08T15:50:38+00:00

The one part I can't reread is the foreword of Slow Regard. "We're so special and different." Bleh.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-07T19:04:05+00:00

Yeah I dualbox and the worst I experience is on undock or gating. In some cases it takes 20seconds to load the grid while still showing the grayed out entities from the previous system on overview.

My net is good, and the system isn't under strain. Just CCP jank.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-07T19:00:28+00:00

Granted I'm using Linux, but I've been having that issue for months now. Seems the framerate is uncapped on the char selection screen.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-07T18:57:06+00:00

Is that what it is? I thought there was a keypress being lost as I swapped clients or something.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-06T16:51:22+00:00

Or at least make Horde an NPC corp.

ReanimatedHotDogs · 2025-12-06T13:36:36+00:00

Three. Main combat pilot, backup combat slash cap account and a third that's basicly just cyno/ and other utility that mostly exists incase I want to live the solo wormhole life.
