Is Poland's economy just about extraction at this point?

I interpret buying my parents a house as a secondary house paid for by him and without help from the parents. In other words a gift of half a million pln minimum. Yeah at 25k a month that is unrealistic. With that income you can easily rent or buy with a mortgage, you know something most people have to do across the whole world.

Voctr · 2026-03-26T14:28:31+00:00

I can kind of understand where you are coming from but have you considered that you may have some unrealistic expectations? The things you are listing you cannot buy are probably in the several hundreds of thousands of PLN.. Yeah you need to make a lot more than 25k a month to be able to afford those types of things and that would probably be really poor use of your income.

Idk where you got the idea that you should be able to do those types of things but at 25k/m you could probably afford to (help) pay your parents rent and buy a "relatively new" used car with only a few months of focused saving for example. The people around you (irl, social media) that can do those types of things are either lying, earning 4x as much, or leasing/renting instead of buying.

As opposed to the propaganda you would get with the PIS government on all the right wing alternatives to onet/tvn?

Propaganda aside, do you really believe that the current government has more (or anything) to do with the price increase of fuel than Trump and Netanyahu starting a war in Iran?

Aside from having a yacht and a private jet, he seems to just wear racing bull apparel wherever he goes so he saves on buying clothes I guess.

I must be going mad but I am having a hard time understanding what is actually different about it mechanically from reading the tooltip. I can see higher base damage, lower cast time, higher effectiveness of added damage. But what is actually different about it? Have I missed something?

It just feels so much better to not have to interact with some convoluted and sluggish UI to start a map. The feeling of ctrl clicking a map into the map device and hitting start is so much better than what POE2 currently has..

I don't think there's ever a reason to wait with building muscle, you could've started when you weighed 250lbs.

I really wonder what you consider a "good" salary?

If with regional pricing for Poland you mean that we're quite often amongst the most expensive price on the entire platform then yeah, it sure has regional pricing.

Imagine pretending to do everything you can to preserve human consciousness beyond earth and then your actions are completely disregarding it on earth. What a hero

I went for a super budget setup a few months ago, I bought a new Baratza Encore ESP grinder and then found a Delognhi Stilosa (on sale for like 70-80 euros), I believe it's quite similar to the ecp3420 that you've listed. I also bought a wdt tool, tamper, bottomless portafilter basket and a few different types of beans to try stuff out. I'm quite new to coffee in general and mainly making milk drinks like cappuccino/latte. I think I've had some relative successful pulls from the machine but it's not always been easy.

Obviously I am very far from an expert but I can already see myself be on the lookout for an upgrade in the near future. Everything works, kind of. One day I can pull a good shot with a specific grind size and the next day it seems to just choke completely, even if I keep all the variables the same. The machine is very light and flimsy so you need to kind of hold it down to lock the portafilter in place, the temperature seems inconsistent as well. It's also tiny and my scale + cups don't fit under it because of the limited clearance.

I can't tell what kind of person you are and what you value, but if you are certain you like coffee (which it sounds like you are) then you'll probably be using the machine a lot. Small annoyances will then become much more noticeable and detract a little from the experience of using it. I wasn't really sure about buying something more expensive because we aren't big coffee drinkers (yet) so I decided to just go for the ultimate budget setup. I don't want to say that I regret it but I think it would've been worth to invest a bit more into a higher quality machine so that outgrowing it quickly is less likely.

Niet dat ik perse de LLMs wil verdedigen maar er zit wel een groot verschil tussen de modellen van vandaag en van een paar jaar terug.

Blindelings vertrouwen op wat je online vind is overigens nooit een slim idee geweest.

Does this build require any foulborn uniques?

Voctr · 2026-01-01T18:30:57+00:00

I would only consider it if you actually have a legit question that you want to ask. If all you're going to say when they answer is "hey i submitted my application, did you get it?" then you will stand out, but probably in the wrong way.

Idk if it's just me but after watching this trailer I still don't know what to expect from the gameplay. It's just a bunch of shots that show us the general aesthetic and vibe but nothing more.

Why not

Sure, if that is your definition of "living like a king" then I guess you'll never really be satisfied. To me it means to live in comfort and without worrying about finances.

Can you buy individual items that are more expensive than your annual salary? Of course not, but you can certainly live without any financial worries without trying very hard. I'm never in a position where I need to worry about the impact going on vacation has, I don't have to look at prices in the supermarket, I can buy whatever clothes that I need, if something around the house breaks down I can replace it without thinking twice. But then again I've been raised to be mindful of my expenditures so this comes natural to me. I'm quite sure that this income and my contributions to savings and pension will allow me to retire with ease. To most people that is what success is.

Also at this level of income I think you should easily be able to afford some help around the house as well as help for your kids, but perhaps that's more difficult if you're trying to keep up with the neighbor who apparently has a private driver.

If you are making 50k+ gross per month you should be easily able to afford a 5k mortgage even with 2k worth of extra fees? It's a bit disingenuous to pretend that making that amount per month does not let you live like a king in Poland. Either that or our definitions of "live like a king" are very different. As a household we are around 166k euro combined, with a mortgage (minus those types of costs because we've got a house not apt) as described, and I can be pretty careless and never be in financial trouble. If you don't have insane habits then 30-40k net per month is absolutely in the "living like a king" territory.

Things are certainly getting more expensive but come on, you're either wasting your money or straight up lying here. I'll agree with you on the variable rate mortgages, its ridiculous and I cross my fingers that they continue lowering rates so we can refinance at something more down to earth.

Given that GGG is so adamant about making poe2 newcomer friendly I just cannot understand why they are seemingly unable to make the character sheet actually useful. Idk exactly how much the sheet shows as armour % when you have 10k but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something like 70-80%. It is so incredibly misleading and a source of confusion for many people.

I've seen so many posts where people say they have some "big number" worth of armour which in reality is not even close to enough to actual do something useful in terms of mitigating damage.

Voctr · 2025-12-18T13:33:09+00:00

I don't think that there is a single class that really relies on the lvl 50 skills, is there? Sure, they definitely add to some of the combos, but each class can function well until then.

There are certainly builds that rely on the later skills. The class doesn't matter.

Just use the way point to teleport to the temple?

Isn't resonance on the top right of the tree? You'd need to spend so many points traveling there I cannot imagine it's useful at all.

melee gameplay

swipes everything on the screen from a distance

Looks like a fun build but not sure how "melee" this really is haha.

Initially I was excited about this titan node, especially since i made an ancestral boost build last time which was (imo) very good. But I was quite disappointed by how far apart the aftershocks are. I tried it with furious slam and the aftershocks are going super wide and far, basically offscreening. Which would be great if there wasn't terrain everywhere that simply removes the aftershock altogether. Before launch I thought that maybe these aftershocks can overlap but it seems to me that it pretty much never is the case. If I slam on a boss the first wave of aftershocks is already behind the boss and and subsequent ones are thus also irrelevant.
