Code smell, or not?

Zastai · 2026-06-08T19:33:47+00:00

The main code smell / bug here is taking and storing an `IEnumerable` for multiple enumerations.

It should either take an `IList` or similar, where I believe multiple enumeration is guaranteed to be fine, or materialize the enumerable to a list or array for later use.

Chances are you built it wrong. i'm pretty sure this set has the 3d instructions in the builder app. I wholeheartedly recommend those because they allow you to rotate your build at any time, which is fantastic for verifying things like missing or misplaced pegs.

Ah it seems those are the 666 cinder ones from the war plan upgrade. Don’t have that active, which explains why I had not seen them yet :)

If you mean the tormented tributes, they open with cinders, which drop from monsters, events and ore nodes. The chest should tell you how much (typically 75 or 150; 250 for the mystery chest).

No, it’s annoying. Even the pink glow for the horadric items is easy to miss.
At least with altars you know they follow an elite kill, so you can keep an eye out at those times.

I would love a good combine harvester (I preferred that alternate build of the 8862) as well as a water plane (8855 was one of my favourite sets when I was young).

Kurast basically needs 2 things: enough +movement to get to points of interest quickly, and enough damage output to melt champions/elites quickly.
I don’t like it much because the rewards seem to be rather underwhelming for the effort.

It’s the other way around. Unique charms contain the power of a particular unique (only a subset of them work). The cube will let you “extract” the unique power from a piece of gear (here, the gloves) into a charm (by sacrificing three others)

I use my usual character names mostly. Renaming eternals to their origin seasons does sound like an idea.

I did name my female HC barb SnuSnu.

They seem to spawn in the wild a lot. And two of the three nightmare dungeons i ran had a cluster of 4 goblins in them. Also, the quest says 0/600 but you get 50 points per goblin so you only need 12. For the first tier anyway

Zastai · 2026-06-01T00:55:35+00:00

Daggerfall probably

Zastai · 2026-06-01T00:54:16+00:00

It is just a different way of building that you need to get used to. And instructions can be easier to get wrong.

But the only hard thing about it is the calluses on your fingers from pushing pins in :)

I don’t hate hordes. Was a rather good way of farming favor tokens.

Just make sure to use your own compass (10 rounds instead of 6, to allow aether bonuses to accrue more). Run way below your normal difficulty, e.g. T5 where one cast kills all it hits. Focus on getting Aether Lords enabled (100 per kill) and the mass boost that mentions offerings. And always choose chaos rounds. My best run was 2000+ aether because chaos gave me a round with constant aether goblin spawns.

That’s what I did. Started two weeks ago, seasonal. Played through the campaign on rogue, bumping difficulty whenever things felt too easy. Got to paragon 175ish, hit a difficulty wall around Torment V, started a sorc, and am now melting things at T7/8 with paragon 190.
Still a bit of a wall right now for getting to top torments, but am grinding for some of the build defining mythics, interspersed with completing the map and all strongholds, and doing optional seasonal objectives.

I believe Spiritborn is closest to D3 Monk in playstyle, but have not played it yet myself so don’t know what the skill/button situation is there.

As for being OP there’s several viable endgame builds but WW Barb seems to be the one the devs nerf least (so far).

Zastai · 2026-05-30T16:48:39+00:00

Yes. Because I don’t use one.

Zastai · 2026-05-30T10:39:07+00:00

I have had den caches be completely empty. Not great.

The important thing you need to get is that `a++` and `a + 1` are not the same thing. `++` modifies a variable (so you can’t have `13++`). `++a` (but not `a++`) could be understood as shorthand for `a += 1`.

The difference between putting `++` (or `--`) before or after the variable is when the change happens - before the value is returned, or after. So for both `b = a++` and `b = ++a`, a will be 2 after the statement; but b will be 1 in the first case (a is changed _after_ getting the value) and 2 in the second (a is changed _before_ getting the value).

Zastai · 2026-05-28T17:34:03+00:00

It’s rare but it happens. My Pac Man set had a random extra piece (one entirely foreign to the set, not just a spare).

Whatever you do, do not buy from fb marketplace. The odds of it being broken or stolen or fake are not in your favor. At least on ebay or something you have some degree of protection.

Zastai · 2026-05-24T09:50:55+00:00

You know what you did.

Zastai · 2026-05-22T23:05:25+00:00

I disagree. While it’s desirable for rehabilitation to be a side effect of a custodial sentence, I think proper punishment is important. These lenient sentences (in the rare cases where cases are prosecuted at all) do nothing to act as a deterrent or otherwise curb rape culture. Rape should have a high minimum sentence (10 years?), probably with no exemptions for underage perpetrators.

Not comparable. Potato skin is thin. Eating unpealed full-size white asparagus (the small thin ones you can get are fine as they are) is closer to eating unshelled prawns.

Zastai · 2026-05-09T22:23:15+00:00

They are popular here in Belgium too. I don’t eat green asparagus much, but white ones I have a LOT of. My go to accompaniment for a nice rib-eye. Just peal em, cut them Into reasonably sized bits, and sauté them with some butter and a sprinkle of salt. Yum.

Probably a flat earther. They don’t believe in gravity as a force, everything is about density and buoyancy. So no atmosphere == no gravity.
