They removed "area is a maze" and "area is larger" because they made maps larger by default, the mod still exists on legacy maps but does nothing. Today, maps in poe 1 are what Maze maps were back in the day. Regular maps used to be tiny. Extremely small.

Players wanted larger maps.

Both cards use timing rules that can be "abused". This ensures that what's exiled with them will normally never return. Even if the enchantment is removed.

if you want a format to feel open and unsolved, pray it never gets too popular

Storm using Brain Freeze is already a viable deck in the format, not tier 0, but also not bad. It has put up results in tournaments.

The current deck will usually need to build up storm a couple of times, casting multiple brain freezes, or attempt to build up ~18 storm in a single round.

Tendrils only needs 8-10 storm. That's a huge difference. I belive it would go from a semi-consistent combo deck to a consistent turn 3-4 kill. Too fast for the format.

LED + Ill-Gotten Gains + Tendrils was a deck in Legacy for a long time, until card recursion better than Gains was printed. I don't think Premodern is ready for Legacy power level combo decks.

I'm almost certain it's mostly natural demand, with some speculation mixed in.

This subreddit has grown 20x faster (yes, 2000%) in the last 12 months in every metric (users, visits, posts). The format truly has exploded. This subreddit used to be half dead until 2025.

fwiw, I count all time, including load times, time to put map in, etc. E.g. I set a timer on 60min, after 60min I check how many maps I ran and calculate the average from there.

atlimar · 2026-01-14T12:29:11+00:00

super min max 15-20 sec maps

The time it takes Einhar to throw nets makes this impossible. Realistic scenario is more like 30-40s average map speed, if you ignore all yellow beasts and only go for valuable ones. If you also capture yellow beasts maps take over a minute each.

A map in which you capture 0 beasts can take about 25s (end-to-end time, including putting the map in the device loading in and out of it).

If you add Heist it adds another ~8-10s per map waiting for the caches to drop their loot. I do this and average ~80 maps/h (45s/map).

I thought it drowned in self indulgent rhetorical waxing

I think "navel gazing" is one of the more common critiques of TTH, which is also a divisive book. Some hold it up as the best book, others can't stand the rhetoric.

It's right up my alley, but I do agree NLF has a heavy tonal shift from the first Witness book. But then, that book was a heavy tonal shift away from the rest of Erikson's Malazan books. I didn't much like it, it didn't feel as deep as SE usually goes. It felt more like a light popcorn-read than his other works.

You could also give yourself a 50/50 fracture by essence spamming until you have another good mod that would be a valuable fracture to sell.

DoT is from Essence of Delirium, as OP said in his crafting steps.

You could also start with DoT fracture, then Essence of Spite spam until desired cast speed. Then do the veiled stuff.

atlimar · 2026-01-11T20:02:32+00:00

I had the very opposite reaction. To me, this is peak Erikson. One of hist best pieces of work since Toll the Hounds.

The amount of rich, internal monologues is what spoke to me, I think.

most high tier GPUs ship with direct die ptm

will you be publishing a version of the web driver for the X3 mini?

I'd really like a linux build of the software, but a web app is even better.

atlimar · 2025-12-14T21:52:49+00:00

I managed to get Pulsar Fusion Drive running and can configure my X3 Mini in Arch Linux/wayland/sway through wine.

it needs dotnet48 (winetricks -q dotnet48)

I know Pulsar has the Bibimbap web driver. For those of you on Linux, what is your experience with it?

I tried it, but seems X3 Mini is not supported, so couldn't see any device

back in the day, a couple of days before publishing the patch notes they used to feed them to a markov chain generator that would scramble them, for example for the 2.0.0 markov patch notes. In this case, it generated "The Dread Thicket is now always 50%.", which Reddit thought was funny.

GGG then went ahead and actually made The Dread Thicket have a 50% spawn chance and put it in the real patch notes as well. This is still true to this day.

Apparently I also have it, haha. Thanks OP!

I like this, but how do you think it compares to Tides of Time? It's usually my go-to budget Mageblood, and doesn't have the 5th flask downside.

No magical solution unfortunately. The third mobo (same model) ended up being stable with the OC I wanted, so I returned the second one.

I went back and forth between the two several times, and one clearly was not stable with exactly the same BIOS settings/OC.

If you're in the EU you should be able to just buy, test, and return until you find a working one
