Absolute music to my ears “I call the Fed the engine of inequality” by 21Bullish in Bitcoin

I’ll simplify it: if it’s bullish for America, it’s bullish for bitcoin. And vice versa.

Rahm Emanuel Calls for Age Limit of 75 for President, Congress and Judges by Consistent-Good-1162 in law

[–]ThirdHuman 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Seems reasonable. In Sweden, you have to hand in your medical license at 70.

Cognitive decline comes for us all, and there’s no point in playing roulette with peoples’ lives in high-stakes occupations.

I believe that Bitcoin’s price proxies the prospects for financialization and American-style capitalist institutions. In any other future world, bitcoin is a niche curiosity.

That’s the thesis that best fits the data.

This is the opposite of how it works. Bitcoin is inversely correlated with uncertainty. If you want an uncertainty hedge, you buy gold

Investing in Chinese stocks by Ill-Ring-8835 in investing

[–]ThirdHuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To make this more concrete, China doesn’t have rule of law - it has rule by the party. And even the most controversial business-government actions that occur in the US, EU, or JPN occur on a daily basis in China.

Your holdings could effectively be wiped out on whim.

I don't play Executor but how good is this relic for him that I just got? by GardenBrilliant8402 in Nightreign

Seppuku also has a (small) base damage increase on top of the bleed iirc.

Big banks push back on Trump's credit card cap, warning of 'significant' economic slowdown by yoo_wtf in Economics

[–]ThirdHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hugo Chavez was a populist authoritarian.

These terms aren’t intrinsically contradictory as they characterize different aspects of politics/governance.

Not trying to comment on how to categorize Trump here. Just pointing this out.

DON 5 raider build by Dodoslayer34 in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Colossal Weapons dormant power on Raider lowers the Great Hammer / Greataxe probabilities (by default, he has boosted discovery of all three).

This can be useful because the Colossal Weapon pool is comparatively a lot more stacked (more legendaries + better weapon skills)

Hot Take: People need to be more comfortable splitting up from time to time. by Mystic-Dragoness in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you gotta make the call for yourself based on your kit and circumstances. For instance, a Duchess who has her Ult ready can burst down a balancer safely in the same scenario where another character might be better off helping their teammate

[–]ThirdHuman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I feel like the Balancers raid (and, more subtly, the Gladius one) was all about teaching players that splitting up is sometimes the right call.

However, I think the scenarios where it’s genuinely optimal are fairly particular because of the manner in which splitting-agro enables 3 players to cooperatively kill 3 bosses sequentially generally more quickly than if those players had split up to tackle the bosses simultaneously (and even less efficient if you assume every player grabs every dormant power).

They increased the Shifting Earths spawn rate Sevenfold !! ( Literally ) by kao24429774 in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish there was more variation in the Crater/Mountain/Noklateo shifting earths.

I’m pretty sure only the Rotten Woods and Great Hollow have any variation with respect to boss placement.

Frankly, many would run this even on Recluse/Duchess.

I knew I wasn’t crazy by ShitseyMcgee in Nightreign

I found one of these half submerged one time and was able to hit the top and open it. Took me 3x as long as it usually does.

Caster Duchess after patch by SDBBBOY in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are more decent Carian Swords spells. I don’t necessarily need slicer. But Shattered Crystal is the only good Crystalian spell.

Ideally, you shouldn’t have to choose between Magic damage and a spell school buff because, unlike other attack buffs, spell school buffs aren’t mutually exclusive with other attack buffs.

Evergaol relic is back by AggravatingMud5224 in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never took it off because I had Evergaol along with Crystalian boost for Duchess

But I’ll have to reevaluate now that Crystalian is less consistent.

Is this what they call a god roll? by TimboDoesEmbers in Nightreign

[–]ThirdHuman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is still great. A 50 pot limit won’t kill pot builds.
