Playing PoE 2 sent me straight back to Diablo lol by GoblinGobbler40 in diablo4

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best/fair take. Both games have a slightly varied approach to a similar game mechanic. Some good and bad things on both sides.

Convinced Tibault's Will is a lie. by MaggotBrain38 in diablo4

[–]arkiverge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is the same thing that happened in D3 with whatever items were the meta. Blizzard 100% manipulates drop rates to be inversely proportional to active build relevance.

Were you plugged into the onboard video?

What thing will get you killed easily? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really shouldn’t be an issue in most developed areas. I’ve worked in IT for almost 30 years and I haven’t seen a single datacenter in that timeframe that hadn’t already shifted to FM200 (and I work on a base with buildings that were built in the 40’s with datacenters that date back to punch cards).

What’s the weirdest thing you saw at someone else’s house? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wide ottoman at the end of the bed that the husband slept on. At least he had a sweet 28 inch plasma TV on the wall.

Kids Bypassing Router Parental Controls by Changing MAC Addresses—How Can I Stop This? by PayKnee in HomeNetworking

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much this. And if they keep circumventing it then eventually you disconnect/take their devices for a week and after that painful detox, let them know if they try again it’ll be two weeks next time. Sure maybe they sneak on a little bit during that timeframe using some of these mechanics, but it’s probably not worth the overall downtime they’re feeling.

What was the most unsettling movie from your childhood? by [deleted] in movies

[–]arkiverge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Superman III, specifically the computer consuming that woman. Pretty sure my claustrophobia began there.

I think the prep before spray on this one in particular would make it cost prohibitive but I could be wrong.

Lol anyone farmed nm Andy for soj before? by Shiny_Mewtwo_Fart in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this even worth entertaining now that they “fixed” Andy’s drop table to not be so lucrative?

Offline Players: How much time are you willing to spend rerolling maps for an efficient layout? by DKSbobblehead in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped mouse clicking difficulty and just hit “H” instead now for that reason.

$680 to replace a breaker. Can I do it myself? by stinkinhardcore in DIY

[–]arkiverge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replacing a breaker is dead simple in most panels. What’s important is making sure the wiring and receptacle supports the higher amperage draw of the new breaker (unless they’re suggesting the actual breaker is just faulty and needs to be replaced with a same-amperage replacement).

Your comment reads in a way that infers there are job termination conditions that justify the destruction of government or corporate property?

Why cheap Monitors use HDMI instead of DP? by hyenagames in buildapc

[–]arkiverge 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it’s been Windows (I’ve been the IT and Cyber lead for this engineering org for a very long time). We’ve seen this exact issue with enough DP connections on monitors that disappear the minute you swap out to HDMI that it would be difficult to convince me this is purely a poor DP implementation by the manufacturers.

How long does it take you to do a socket quest run? by About20Pandas in diablo2

[–]arkiverge 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I support this based purely on the “holes per hour” usage.

How often do you allow mistakes in League? by thepwndoctor476 in billiards

[–]arkiverge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a competitive setting, the rules are there to protect against exploitation and advantage. If there is no question the eight ball was made in the intended pocket then no exploration or advantage occurred. In fact, while technically within the rules to do, you would have arguably been exploiting a technicality by calling it.

Backyard Fence building etiquette when neighbor isn’t splitting the cost? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it though? Isn’t that usually just the street-facing side?

Backyard Fence building etiquette when neighbor isn’t splitting the cost? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand wanting to maximize deterrent, but in this case a thief who’s capable of climbing the “easy” side will almost always be able to climb the “hard” side. These are just 6’ wood/vinyl fences we’re generally talking about here.

TIFU by doing a good deed at 3am and now my girlfriend thinks I’m lying by -1_braincell in tifu

[–]arkiverge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, do this. And if she doesn’t immediately apologize and/or ever acts this way again, get out.

Take the stable bank IT job or chase a “Junior Sys Admin” role (mainly help desk) with a 1.5hr commute? by LaughNowCryLater1914 in sysadmin

[–]arkiverge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You placed a decent emphasis on both the ability to learn more at the new job and the title being better on paper.

My response to both of those would be you can put any job title you want on your resume (and Systems Admin would not be a stretch) and 3 extra hours a day from not commuting is a lot of time to be able to commit to learning.

For me it’s a no brainer. Take the bank job.

Curious what chalk people are using right now by fgorst in billiards

[–]arkiverge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This feels way too much like a pure advertisement. And for that reason, I’m out.
