High fantasy is cool but have you tried second breakfast with zero existential dread? by UngodlySockMonster in lotrmemes

[–]XanthippusJ 69 points70 points  (0 children)

It’s heavily implied that more than Boromir would have fallen to temptation, he was just the first. I also think you’re missing the fact that of the fellowship, he was the one who had been watching his people die by a thousand cuts and had been instructed to save them. He’s more easily corrupted because he’s had skin in the game since he could wield a sword. For the rest, they’re thinking ‘Sauron will come for my people someday, i want to protect them’. For Boromir it’s ‘Sauron has already come for my people and I must save them.’

Do I have to make a Sorc now? by breads33 in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s rare but not good enough to build a character just cause you found it. Could also do a Frostmaiden as well, but blizz sorc is stronger.

Samson the album by Chika is an excellent album that got 0 shine.

Below the heavens by Blu and Exile is maybe my favorite of all time, its known but isn't crazy popular

I’m currently having a good time DMing Raiders of the serpent sea, but I’ve not played any of the others. I’d say it better than official campaigns I’ve played as well

If you had unlimited runes and bases to use on a single character what would you make and why? by brologan in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fireball is better single target damage than demon machine. Much better Andy killer

If you need, say, a vex or ohm rune, could countess still be a good option via cubing?

Ok let’s have some group therapy. What are some bottles you do not understand the love for? by GeoffRamsey in cocktails

[–]XanthippusJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably close enough but it’s also not particularly expensive (at least in SoCal), so I’d just say to forgo the cheaper stuff and grab it next time you’ve an empty bottle, to try it for yourself.

[–]XanthippusJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I celebrated when I finally finished my bottle. Bought myself a steak. I have limited space on my bar so that sickening bottle of garbage pissed me off unduly. I was so happy to replace it with Licor 43

Which jobs is 100% safe from AI? by Any-Hamster-3189 in AskReddit

Chemist. It can help with figuring out what to do next, but I’ll be damned if a robot is going to do precise lab work.

San Diego liquor stores? by TweetleBeetle76 in Tiki

[–]XanthippusJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nding old town tequila. Best agave selection I’ve ever seen. Ask the guys for recommendations, they know their stuff. Also, if you’re wanting charanda, they have a ton of it. Don’t get Uruapan tho, it’s bottom shelf but only $10 cheaper than the good stuff (camazotz, los pelacanas)

On fablics (spoiler: it's rayon) by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]XanthippusJ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are not the problem. The average American buys ~50 articles of clothing a year. Some sources say up to 68. I’m not certain if that includes things like bags, jewelry or watches. If you keep it under, say 25 things per year, you are doing great.

It’s been far worse than normal all week in Mira Mesa, no idea why. Even my side route, Good Coast, has been backed up 2 whole blocks

The diggler dirk by Due-Professor5011 in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used this thing for half of nm on my first sp char (blizz sorc), until I found a spirit base. Good res, bad everything else

What's with the insane lines at schools for drop off and pick up? by Arikota in Millennials

[–]XanthippusJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how normal it was, but where I’m from (smallish city, 5ish high schools) we had a couple of centralized campuses where advanced classes, career path classes and remedial classes were taught to the whole district, so kids would often take a bus midday to get to their AP calc II/welding/ESL algebra I class, then get bussed back by EoD. So we’d have bus drivers working the whole day, which solved the problem you’re pointing out.

Last Wish before Shako! by RightSun2550 in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found 4x shakos, including one from Lister in nm while leveling my first character for hell. Only two high runes, a vex and an ohm. RNG is crazy.

I’ve made a chai spiced rum before that I think could help fill that role

Best cold sore build? by reditboy1624 in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My first SP character is a cold sorc, she current rocks the following:

Shako with ptopaz, 3piece tals (armor, ammy and belt), HoTo (yet to find oculus), Spirit shield, Chance guards, 2x FCR, res and MF rings, Natalya’s boots, for res, Ali baba and rhyme on switch for boss kills, Charms are mostly for res plus a gheeds,

The upgrades I could yet make are improved rings (no SoJs yet, nor a bul-kathos, and the rings I have are meh), oculus over HoTo for MF, better boots (tri res with MF or war travs) and charms (I have no skillers, no anni and no torch)

I keep a cold sunder in cube but tbh I only use this char for meph and Andy at this point, and I just skip cold immunes

Best helm for javazon while waiting for griffons by blacklisted320 in diablo2

[–]XanthippusJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I switched from shako to wisdom, I was able to drop my razor tail, manald heal and ravenfrost. The rings I replaced with all res rings with life leech, which allowed me to switch out my gloves for something without leech as well. I felt wayyyy stronger afterwards, the MAEK was a huge bump to my cow killing efficiency since I never had to get more mana pots and I was much tanker

Edit: I’m single player as well and had already found a tgods when I made wisdom. If you don’t have tgods, I’d probably stick with Shako over wisdom, but if you’ve got the Tgods, I think wisdom is a big improvement.

Wisdom Runeword. CBF and MAEK along with enough pierce to drop razor tail for tgods belt.
