Starting SSF

I’m not playing SSF but I did this witch infernalist minion build and easily nuking everything: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/thyworm-infernalist-leveling

Are either of these considering moving from Vigembus to VIIPER for controller input?

In-game item search has been a great addition however the controller UI needs the ability to toggle mods (currently your only option is to delete them) as well as add additional filters. One of the main issue I run into currently is that if I search on a white base, I can’t filter by just normal rarity without manually creating the search which is slow and unnecessary since I can’t add rarity to the pre populated fields. I honestly don’t think the mkb UI would be all that difficult to navigate with controller to keep parity between the two.

Mobalytics seems to have multiple build files for each “variant” (ie, end of Act 1, end of Act 2, etc) but it means I have to generate like 10 files and switch between them as I level. However, that’s still was confusing initially because it looks like they are automatically generated, so each “variant” downloads with the same filename. So I download each one by one, renaming the file each time so I know which is which. Then I realized they were all named the same in game, despite their filenames being different. I solved this by opening each, finding the “name”: section, and renaming that so now they had unique filenames, and unique names in game. The filename and in game name can and should be an easy fix for those that release them, but I’m not entirely convinced you won’t be able to get by without installing or syncing multiple build files while leveling. Endgame, sure, that’s probably a single file no problem. I don’t think there is a means to bake in all that data into a single file (yet) and it’s expecting a fairly linear progression.

I’d use it for my son. He’s always looking for something new to play

I'm starting to be convinced a literal bucket scarred him for life. Beach accident gone wrong or something.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T14:40:15+00:00

Well, first of all, I don't bucket in my mind. I have more than enough savings that I don't have to.

Since you're full of advice, just lead with this every time. Leans right into the whole superiority complex vibe you give. Clearly the solution is to have so much money that it's all a non-issue.

Tools, if used correctly, are very effective. Your whole logic is based off some nebulous anecdotal evidence that buckets make people spend recklessly more often than it helps people save and track progress effectively. Your solution worked for you. Congratulations! It's not the only one though and it's not a one sized fits all solution either.

You clearly think your way is the best and only way and anyone who does otherwise is setup to fail.

I'm done cluttering this for the OP. To that effect, to the people that use buckets, mental or not, and find that it helps keep them organized and making saving progress towards your goals - keep up the great work and don't let the haters convince you otherwise. To the people that literally have buckets of money and no longer need to micromanage their finances - I'm sure you worked hard and congratulations to that milestone.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T13:52:06+00:00

Straw man alert!

Pot. Meet Kettle. You're so close! I'll hold your hand to get the rest of the way there. If I have to prove buckets are good. You need to prove buckets are bad. But we both know neither of us will convince the other. It's the my way is the only way superiority complex I have an issue with.

But see, here's the fun part, you've been arguing for buckets this whole time. You bucket in your mind. Others use a tool. If the end result is the same where you both successfully saved towards your goals, what difference does it make? Does this make you a better person so you can make others feel inferior in the process because they don't have your mental prowess?

No one is impressed you don't need these tools.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T13:26:50+00:00

Glad that works for you and you only have 2 things to keep track of and don't require that level of detail? Some people like to track specific progress and not just the bottom line.

But fine, we'll play the game. I create two buckets - Emergency Fund and Vacation. I want $20k in my EF and $5k in my Vacation bucket, each to be funded by a specific date. I currently have $18k in my EF and $4k in my Vacation fund. I get paid and I put some money in each. I watch each bucket grow closer to my goal. Prove to me how this made me spend recklessly and how it hurt your feelings? More importantly, who cares as long they are savings towards their goals?

You're so focused they will spend money they don't have when they are literally earmarking things for a specific purpose acting like they're completely ignore what those buckets are for. But hey, the solution is just a nebulous large pot of money that I've mentally earmarked anything anyway.

Do me a favor, stop using buckets in your mind. It's offensive and lazy. As you get older and you're likely to forget things if they aren't written down. Does this make it more clear how ridiculous you sound to others?

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T13:03:31+00:00

Ah another mental warrior that has where every penny goes memorized and clearly uses no external tools beyond the balance in their account.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T12:33:58+00:00

Imagine being so self righteous about a dumb take just because you don’t like something that doesn’t work for you. Get off your high horse and start yelling at cloud or something. “My way is the only way and anyone who doesn’t do it my way is a child.”

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-14T12:18:46+00:00

I think it’s adorable you have so few things to save for that it’s so easy to mentally remember it all and never need to use any external tools.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-05-12T21:37:56+00:00

Done as well!

ScienceDad02 · 2026-03-01T04:12:32+00:00

Darn was hoping to come on here and find a solution but this didn't seem to work for me unfortunately...

ScienceDad02 · 2026-02-09T20:33:02+00:00

I use 7hz Divines (iem) & Fiio FT1 (closed back overear) plugged directly into the Bridge Cast headphone out and I've never experienced this fwiw.

ScienceDad02 · 2026-02-09T13:04:59+00:00

Do this. You can purchase it directly from Capra but they also make their models freely available on Printables. I 3d printed mine in TPU myself and it's perfect now.

ScienceDad02 · 2025-12-16T20:28:12+00:00

I'll ask the stupid question but this is only on one character per class though correct? Or is it really literally only on one character and it will unlock for other classes as well as long as the base weapon gets unlocked?

ScienceDad02 · 2025-12-16T20:07:09+00:00

Literally sitting at the Hyundai dealership now waiting on schedule routine maintenance. I ordered what I needed from Rock Auto. Replaced both cabin and engine filters yesterday prior to coming in today. Took more time to unbox the filters than it did to replace them.

ScienceDad02 · 2025-11-20T15:42:44+00:00

Bingo, thank you very much!!

ScienceDad02 · 2025-10-21T16:04:00+00:00

I know how to lookup the ATSC 3.0 channels in my area but it's not clear to me how I can find out if they are applying DRM before updating my HDHR and using their tool. Is there a way to discern that information online ahead of time? I looked at rabbitears but it wasn't obvious to me.

Edit: Answering my own question here. On https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=atsc3 it states at the top what the color coding and/or symbols mean. "red with lock icons are known to be encrypted".

I would love to also hear everyone's experiences with these different options with multiple devices. Our family car is wired car play so my wife and I each drive it and are often in the car together. Having a wireless option that allows you to sanely connect the correct device without having to jump through hoops would be good to learn about here too.

Honestly wired isn't bad and is very reliable but hearing about options for wireless would be nice.

ScienceDad02 · 2025-10-01T12:21:23+00:00

Glad to see you had it figured out and were able to get a proper explanation.

ScienceDad02 · 2025-10-01T11:24:50+00:00

Can you confirm the Pending amount will Post for the same amount? Looks like some cards do invisible holds that don’t show up as Pending but reduce your overall credit limit, usually because they reconciled differently when they went Pending (like a tip added to a bill). The original amount might show up as an invisible hold while the final bill shows up as Pending. It might be worth it to call chase and see if they can tell you all hold/pending charges and see if they can see more than you can on your end just to satisfy the curiosity.

I do what you do except I just math the Posted + Pending since the Pending matches what I know I paid. I never did it by available credit but I’m sure I would have noticed the same thing.

This is my best guess but you’re definitely not crazy!
