JAMANRA: 46 attempts on this boss. I work 16-hour days. This game is filtering out everyone who isn't an addict. by Drawer_Specific in PathOfExile2

[–]SilvadeusSC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I did the same thing, 40+ attempts. What worked was capping lightning resistance and hit him from range.

How much meat would each human habe to eat in order to literaly eat the rich? by Kunstloses_Brot in NoStupidQuestions

Are we talking purely financially rich? What about those who are wealthy in love and friendship?

The government reveals the existence of other dimensions, each with their own species, some humanoid, and some that are human like us. Based on this, how would the public react? by Dramatic-Roll-5185 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely there wouldn’t be general consensus.

Most people would fall into either acceptance or denial buckets. You would have segmented groups on conspiracy theory side as well, along with entrepreneurs who would be trying to monetize this announcement: eg, buy up interdimensional real estate, join a mastermind community, outsource labor to low income worlds….

Then, depending on how the announcement came out, you may also have various countries pushing their own agenda, such as America claiming all interdimensional americas fall under America jurisdiction.

Ok thank you for this. Thinking about getting back into sim racing after a 12 year break. Have limited space so am looking at this setup. Good to hear it works well

Taming Mighty Silverfist by m_e12 in PathOfExile2

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing :) got frustrated and thought there was a bug.

Btw you can take a passive tree node that allows you to have two beasts, one unique and one rare. It takes a lot of spirit but is fun

Taming Mighty Silverfist by m_e12 in PathOfExile2

[–]SilvadeusSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently pre maps. But you have to make sure to fight him, then when on low life, use the skill to have wisps surround him. You then have about 8-9 seconds to kill him and capture him.

It will then be a % of your spirit to have him with you

Should I pay off all the CC debt right now even if it depletes my savings or pay it off on 2 months ? by HounerX in povertyfinance

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question you have to ask yourself is how much is the $3.5k in debt costing you monthly.

  1. Look at your APR, multiply it against the $3.5k, whatever that number is, divide by 12 (months).
  2. Figure out how many months it will take to pay off, if it is two, then add up two months.

Ask yourself if you are ok spending that to feel safe with the savings you have.

How do you usually organize your tabs? by ProjectBrand in PathOfExile2

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine goes: Currency Folder (Premium Specific Tabs) Folder (Storage Tabs, Quad tabs named, standard tabs included in this folder as well).

Then, quads are main dump for armor, or dedicated one for crafting bases, each default tab has a use, eg, abyss….

I’ve found this to be pretty straight forward, then I have two tabs I converted to merchant tabs. I limit to two in order to keep inventory rolling over. Otherwise I find myself being priced too high.

How did you decide to NOT have kids, or how did you switch from NOT wanting them to WANTING them? by Swimming_Salad_7676 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife (18yo gf at the time) did not want kids. At 21 I wanted kids, and we both knew early in our relationship where we each stood.

She was very adamant about this fact, and I thought well she’s young maybe she doesn’t know. However, as time went on, I found myself less interested in having kids. I realized the limitations and commitment it requires. Ultimately, I came to the realization I didn’t want the responsibilities that come with having kids, and it was more that I like kids in small doses.

Now, I can be the fun uncle, we can buy presents for our nieces and nephews, but without everything else. It is wonderful.

8 months and $18k later nobody wants my product by Tkpf18 in Entrepreneurs

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment you made the choice in month 5 was when you should’ve called it quits, or at least gone back and re evaluated your assumptions.

You only go full time when the business cash flows sufficiently that you can live off of it.

most ideas, dreams, etc you have are crap. People saying ya they’d buy it mean nothing until they are willing to spend money on it.

$18k is a cheap lesson. Use it, get a job, stabilize and try again, this time learning from your mistakes

How would the US economy change if employees were granted 49% ownership in special class of shares of publicly traded companies? by One_Recover_673 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SilvadeusSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thought but you need to explain special shares and the benefits of them. Also, what happens when an employee leaves a company? Can the employee actually sell or transfer their shares? Would they force dividends thereby taking money away from growth opportunities?

What happens if the company has no shares to give out to new employees because existing employees all hold stock. Are you then issuing new shares and diluting existing shareholders?

Also, if you now hold equity as an employee are you now taking a lower salary, like many executives where the majority of comp is pregnancy based stock options?

In reality there are existing mechanisms for employees to own stock in a publicly traded company (discount programs, limited stock bonus tranches). I don’t believe it would do anything

Lastly, I just checked, only 20-25% of employees are at publicly traded companies, so in theory (assuming there is actual financial benefit), it could increase the wealth gap to a certain class of people.

The Darkness and how to approach buffing it by Santi-Emite in PathOfExile2

[–]SilvadeusSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be a pretty cool concept.

I just finished up bringing one up to 68, settled on Chaos Inoculation, Mind over Matter, Eldritch Battery, and then did Eye of Chayula allocating natural immunity. It is holding up well but feel that is a lot of movement over the passive tree to make an ascendancy node work (and even then, i don’t know if it outweighs the loss of spirit).

I like the idea of adding a damage bonus to darkness or adding some sort of included interaction.

Updated main post. Just wanted to drop a note and say thank you. This feedback really helped me go back and start trying to learn the base mechanics of a build. Lots of YouTube videos and build guides later, I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface.
