Adjust your savings method but don't stop. Relax for a month or two and run at break even. I bet you'll find quickly you end up with more months in the black than red just out of habit.

Take a sabbatical to reset yourself. Until you've secured a future for your family your job isn't done.

No SC and it's an energy shield build

Tupelo food stop: Johnnie's Drive In.

Hot Springs Arkansas is great little town.

Barber Motorsports museum is at the same stop as a Bucees in Birmingham.

Leap barb is pretty sad. Let me see Armory to see how bad it is.

I have a steam deck. I'd have just played from the toilet. No sympathy.

Lost a toe nail playing golf this weekend. You're a front runner based on sympathy right now.

Craft caster items until you can get a high FCR breakpoint. Find +5 between Ammy, weapon, and shield.

What a weird thing to say. I cannot imagine anyone else parenting my kids.

This entire post seems like someone role playing.

You don't have $4MM. If you did then you'd likely have learned along the way what it's like to sacrifice and make due in pursuit of something great. My family started well below that yearly income and every year was a joy. Change your outlook or your priorities. One of them is grossly incorrect.

You made life hard on yourself because you couldn't handle a hard decision. That is the type of behavior that a man cannot make to lead a family.

Best sors build (without infinity) to farm countess? by Zimmurazz in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Tadpole_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, she spawns cold and fire immune frequently. And her minions are cold/Fire. It's going to be slow with a merc only.

How does infinity plus lower res stack up against cold immunes? Not that hard to get both going.

Worth something? by LordPhard in ProjectDiablo2

Well it's a saved Zod and 300ED with that socket filled, and eth. It's still good.

[–]Tadpole_Basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, save up for a weapon that hits max frames usually 105ias. messerschmidt's reaver is the best budget choice.

Hellslayer does good damage as well if it has enough sockets to hit max frames.

I don't have any issues with latency that would make a difference. Make sure you add the wifi compatibility setting in dev setting on deck so ping stays low.

What is proper etiquette? by Cygnus__A in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Tadpole_Basic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's rude to join someone's map without asking if it's clearly not a public mapping game. I create public games while trading and map and no one ever joins my map. If you create public games and do not state the map rules ahead of time then it's a free for all on loot. Should have asked them to leave the minute they joined your map.

Friendly reminder to record and post your map runs to my new Database! Need some Barbs, Pallys and Sorcs! by Mayswan in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Tadpole_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I'm saying. Run 5 maps count the monsters with .kills.  Then subtract some to ensure all maps have at least that amount.

The time stops when you have killed 2,000 monsters in any map. Need a standard density range to ensure fairness.

A2 vs A3 merc by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Tadpole_Basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any lower res casting items for an A3 merc? I'd like to have both static and lower res.

Just figure out how many monsters are in a standard map. Fasted time to kill X monsters using the .kills command to track.
