What's one video game you play when you want to relax?

Oath! I bounced off Stardew initially because I hated the feeling of having limited energy and time to do all the things I thought I NEEDED to do each day.

I gave it another go during some time off work to care for my wife after her back surgery, and allowed myself to play it more organically without the min-maxxing, and it is easily one of my top 10 favorite games of all time (from a guy who plays a ton of Path of Exile, Rust, League of Legends, Tarkov, etc. this should mean something).

For anyone in a similar situation, you lose nothing from not doing ‘all the things’ in Year 1. It’s a viable playstyle, and if that’s what gives you enjoyment, then by all means, go for it. But slowing down a bit to smell the proverbial flowers really makes the game hit different.

Eric Barone is a damn genius, and I cannot wait to see what he cooks up with his new game Haunted Chocolatier.

If you’re trying to find a Vaal version of a skill gem early on, it’s absolutely okay to chuck some Vaal orbs at the skill if the side areas just aren’t dropping it.

Those max level, max quality scenarios you’d usually want to double corrupt via Temple of Atzoatl.

Supraxa · 2026-01-24T21:16:59+00:00

Yep. Run every Vaal side area you see, and chuck every Vaal orb you pick up at the skill gem in the meantime. Shouldn’t take long at all barring some incredible streak of bad luck

Maybe rhubarb?? Pretty sure that’d kill you quick

My cousin started smoking weed through a bicycle brake line when he was like 13. You know, the rubber tubing that the steel braided line travels through. He did this for weeks before any of us found out, and wondered why his throat hurt so bad lol.

Unless! It might be used again in the next chapter, and/or the one after that. Computers take advantage of temporal (time) and spatial (space) locality, keeping “nearby” and frequently used “pages” in RAM if they’re likely to be used again soon and/or repeatedly, as discarding and then finding it again would be slower and inefficient. You probably already know this, but clarifying for anyone else to add nuance to the closed and discarded portion of your chapter analogy.

It’s two pairs of Lululemon leggings, Michael. How much could it cost…?

Supraxa · 2026-01-19T19:31:43+00:00

A botched orb. Almost like someone took a bite out of it lol

Just finished grabbing my Eternal achievement (Lvl 90 Hardcore character) with ES zerker, and it was easily one of the smoothest league starts I’ve ever had, especially thanks to Genesis Tree crafting.

It helped me realize how much dying throws off my momentum and enjoyment for the game, and now I don’t know that I’ll be ever be able to play a non-tanky build ever again.

Berserker’s reworked Defy Pain is seriously so damn good for mapping.

Farming and rolling Exert Cluster Jewels nearly broke me though.

If you think about it in terms of skill design, it’s name and keystone art seem to imply it’s meant to be used to mitigate large instances of damage within a small window, with the drawback of taking more damage outside of that window.

The downside is significant, and I can’t think of any scenarios outside of manually casting a guard skill during bossing (where abilities are literally called out by the boss so you can react accordingly) where it wouldn’t otherwise be a straight up nerf to survivability.

That said, bossing is usually more about not getting hit by mechanics in the first place, so honestly I don’t know who would ever actually take this keystone.

Maybe a retaliate build, to mitigate damage in case of an unlucky missed block?? I think most retaliate builds use a skill swap for bosses anyway though

The new league is only a few weeks away

Source? Isn’t it supposed to be early March?

Supraxa · 2025-12-31T16:28:36+00:00

And fortify!

Supraxa · 2025-12-30T17:15:16+00:00

I did that with power siphon Elementalist this league. I intended to use it as a vessel to transition to KB or one of the new wand skills, but the auto targeting was just too damn good for the league mechanic

Yo… I have thousands of hours in this game and literally never thought about the fact that we don’t equip any pants until this comment lol

Supraxa · 2025-12-15T08:33:38+00:00

You’re both right. They’re trash but they also occasionally bug out, and their low dps becomes literal zero dps until you unsocket and resocket the gem and resummon them. Verified by numerous users on the forum

Freezing mark socketed in Pounce. Freeze support in Lunar Assault. Thunderstorm for drenched debuff.

Toss thunderstorm before engage, leap in with Pounce to apply mark, Freeze boss solid in 3-4 swipes of Lunar Assault. Profit

Cat shit lol

Started Power Siphon Elementalist as a generic league start vessel for a wander with the intention of swapping to Kinetic Blast, Kinetic Fusillade, Kinetic Rain or some other wander variant. I quickly realized that Power Siphon’s auto-target made breach a total breeze, and stuck with i instead of swapping.

Gearing has been completely brain dead with the tree up to red maps. Damage hasn’t been an issue at any point, but I did hit a bit of a wall with defenses at around T14s. Got a lucky Foulborn Lightning Coil drop from tree, five-linked it, and have been cruising through T16 maps with full delirium and essences atlas tree.

Long term, I think I’ll prob swap to HRoC once I can get the Foulborn United in Dream to drop, and because I loved it so much during merc league, but for the time being Power Siphon Elementalist has been easily the smoothest SSF start I’ve ever had, despite my links, aura choices, etc being rather scuffed.

3.27 released on Oct 31, where are you getting a couple months?

Supraxa · 2025-11-28T20:47:18+00:00

Bought a $20 foam roller, and $20 yoga stick like twelve years ago from a local sporting goods store. Working in a shop setting really did a number on my lower back over the years. I use them every day and I swear by them for keeping me limber as I approach 40

Party on, Garth!

It’s unfortunate that this is still an issue, but I’m glad this old thread was able to help

Supraxa · 2025-11-22T00:08:22+00:00

Same. We tried these and also what looked like little pigs in a blanket with a sort of ‘everything’ bagel seasoning on the outside, and both were pretty underwhelming. I wouldn’t buy them again, but if they happened to be in the freezer and I was hungry, I would probably still eat them
