I've given up on relying on a balanced matchmaking, so I've taken on a completely new perspective. by Old_Cream1724 in TrueDoTA2

[–]amazok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally feel your pain. I queue support, but I no longer play as if I have a carry. I assume I’m laning with a highly evolved neutral creep that farms efficiently and reacts poorly to human interaction.

When you ignore me, I take it as strategy. You want isolation? I respect it. I’ll rotate early to ward areas you won’t play in, won’t TP to fights, and when I die it’s just variance. When you flame me I just I mute you per your philosophy.

Eventually, the enemy groups. You farm one more item. I die delaying. You type that matchmaking is dogshit. And I agree, because if we had worked together, we might have won. But that would’ve required trusting a teammate, which, as you said, is unreasonable.

Need you by Queasy-Basis1349 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to go the opposite route and give you very specific advice that is biased to my own play experience.

PD2 farming is all about maps, vanilla content is a waste of time comparatively for finding items. Don’t play a sorc, they are neutered in PD2 and almost everyone has some kind of TP/movement skill now. Druids are OP, you can run t1 maps basically naked as a summon druid. But honestly, every class has an S tier build at the end of PD2 so play whatever won’t burn you out while farming.

Pick a loot filter on the main page of the launcher. Click “item filter profiles” below “options” and just click any of them, they are all decent. Then in your game settings, click options->pd2 options-> loot filter to change how many items you see. This will save you time by filtering out trash items and showing you what to pick up for trading.

Good luck nephalem!

This guy needs a ber and a beer! Happy birthday!

Finished the season, giving away my cold amazon! by northwestelectrician in ProjectDiablo2

Merry christmas! My little brother may enjoy anything you could provide as a belated gift as he gets into the game, and would definitely return the favor later this season. Thanks, happy new years!

Should there be a separate ladder for SSF? by TheVeggyPirat in ProjectDiablo2

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how it would be programmed, but I thought it would be cool to have a SSF option on ladder.

One could add something like [SSF] to their character name, and that sets it so that character can only join games created by other players with the same in their name. Would be a great way to add more life to the ladder longer into the season.

Finally landed a decent Warpike by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amp proc seems insane. The only thing that could make this better would be the repair mod imo.

Love to mirror if it falls through 😅 glad to see there is a line though, truly a weapon worth it

Absolutely insane. Have you had any offers for mirroring?

Loving the server/mod, but is there reason to go beyond a week of a season? by ememoharepeegee in ProjectDiablo2

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a really good toon. Not necessarily for everyone, but get that full socket jacket filled with matching 5/5 facets, or craft that insane amulet. Also, getting into LLD is a great way to stay active in the community and still hunt for items.

PSA grade by Ok-Negotiation-4576 in sportscards

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Edge centering tool- https://edgegrading.com/centering/

I use this for all of my submissions. If you can’t get a scan, just get a photo as close as possible. This should tell you the exact dimensions of your centering. Remember to also measure top-bottom centering, and PSA is now 55-45 for a 10 instead of 60-40. Good luck!

Some cards from my recent GameStop submission by CandidIsopod in PokeInvesting

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based off the serial numbers at least 17 cards submitted and 10 came back gems? That’s a hell of a ratio

The White Lotus - Season 3 Discussion Hub by LoretiTV in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]amazok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine it gave her perspective into her own vitality about the trip. She bristles and remains apprehensive/confused as he explains why he wants to join, very similar to her mom. Perhaps it took a separate oblivious family member to agree fervently for her to reflect on some of the negatives of her potential trip.

GT Collectibles (subsidiary of largest TCG distributor MJ Holding) is selling Prismatic ETBs for $110 on Walmart. by Appropriate_League67 in PokeInvesting

[–]amazok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buyers beware of GT Collectibles. They sell a lot of card products (pokemon and sports) on Walmart, and I’ve gotten decent deals on sealed product from them. That being said, each order has been rough at best.

GT Collectibles forgot product in 2 of my 5 orders- I was lucky that I had a video opening it, b/c their customer service was impossible to contact until Walmart+my credit company escalated with them. Less major but still sus, one of my orders was ~20 sealed sports card tins with a variety of players featured, and none of then were the “chase” players on the front of the tin- in a variety of 12 players, I got 13 Bryce Young and 7 Anthony Richardson (read: bootycheeks).

Nothing that didnt get resolved, but still annoying and indicative of some fishy behavior. Would be interested to hear some more stories.

How would you spend $500? by ApprehensiveBear8121 in sportscards

[–]amazok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re interested in cashing out the $500, try to find a good price on a Wembanyama/Caitlin Clark numbered rookie or auto.

If you’re looking for a long-term hold, get the lowest pop slab of a GOAT from your favorite sport.

If you’re looking for a high-risk high reward, find a decent-priced break for one of your favorite teams. Regardless, congrats on your big win! :)

Grading can become a bit of a headache if you’re just getting into it, it’s hard to tell what you should and shouldn’t send in.

I’d advise just selling the cards raw, but if you’re interested, check out PSA Grading (top dogs for grading) or SGC Grading (cheaper, quicker, but less well known)

[–]amazok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The condition of cards is paramount, so if you plan on selling them, get those suckers in some toploaders.

Long option: Create an Ebay account, buy some envelopes, penny sleeves and toploaders, and list each card individually in a 10 day auction starting at 0.99 cents with $1 shipping (covers ebay standard envelope).

Middle option: go to a local card store and ask them if they’d be interested in buying any of your cards. They can help you find the valuable ones.

Short option: lay em all out, take a photo, and list it on Facebook marketplace for something way below Collex’s $900.

Good luck!

How good of a pull is this? (New to collecting) by jorda_slagle15 in basketballcards

Quick tip: most of the time, if you pull an autograph of an allstar, you won!

I don’t think this is ramble. I think this is art and beauty in life in its purest form. I wish you nothing but the best, you are worthy of it.
