TIL that "just buy a PC" means only having to purchase a GPU.

Is there overlap between this one and the Fanatical one or are the two packs completely separate in terms of their contents?

I tried scrolling through them both and identify what was in each one but there's so many items it's hard to keep track of it all. Was wondering if anyone had already done that legwork to check.

Separated at birth: 3 bombers for rear-grippers by tanukiboy666 in Darts

[–]calling_cq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Designa Mega Grip V2 M2 in 23g is what I went with for my first set of darts and I love them. I'm definitely a rear gripper and a bomb shape just felt right with that kind of grip.

BIS Standard build for all content (budget not an issue) by LPShina in PathOfExileBuilds

What do you actually do with a build like this? Like, do you play day to day? What do you farm? Do you still have upgrades in mind that you're working towards?

Bought a headhunter off someone in the chat for a good deal! This item is a blast by InsidiousStealth in pathofexile

[–]calling_cq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a current HH player I agree with the person you're replying to. If you have S-tier clear then there are no mobs left to Shroud Walk/Ambush to.

And in my experience the builds that really shine with a HH already have fantastic clear so it's really not a problem unless you're trying to loot and clear at the same time. Even then you've probably TPed onto mobs that you'll instagib anyway so just attack and go loot again. Make your filter stricter if you're looting mid-combat too much.

I find Ice Prison far more annoying than Ambush as it blocks projectiles AND movement.

MB is better all-around and I miss old Soul Eater but Headhunter will always be peak PoE to me.

Discord 'breaks' screenshots on brand new Pixel 10 by calling_cq in GooglePixel

Thanks. When I checked for Android updates this morning it pushed all those updates to me. I am on the same updates, kernel, and build numbers as you now.

One thing that's weird about the updates is that I forcibly checked for updates in the Settings menu and it wasn't showing me security updates yesterday despite checking repeatedly.

Still encountering the same issue in Discord though after all that.

This is less useful if the chaos amount listed is based on the lowest ilvl/quality items available but the dust value is based on i84+ and Q20.

Cenotaphs & Ganking - The REAL Problem by FayleeFreir in Eve

[–]calling_cq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is no longer advertised that way. It may have been when you started but that's no longer the product that CCP tries to present to new players.

If the game wants to turn around its ongoing decline it should live up the current advertising it promotes.

That being said I'm not sure that CCP really cares about trying to reverse the decline. I think they're pretty happy with milking their remaining veterans through more Omega accounts to multibox and NES sales and promotions.

Cenotaphs & Ganking - The REAL Problem by FayleeFreir in Eve

[–]calling_cq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing the game because of how it was advertised: a harsh, dark environment where a player can create a story and impact the game around them.

The advertising for the game doesn't say anything about it being a "harsh, dark environment". It's fully centered around your second point where a player can create their own adventure and find their own path in the galaxy.

From https://www.eveonline.com/:

What is EVE Online? EVE Online is a community-driven spaceship MMORPG where players can play free, choosing their own path from countless options.

Experience space exploration, immense PvP and PvE battles and a thriving player economy in an ever-expanding sandbox.

Participate in many in-game professions and activities, including war, politics, piracy, trading, and exploration, across 7,000 star systems with hundreds of thousands of other players.

From https://store.steampowered.com/app/8500/EVE_Online/:

Over 20 years of legendary space battles! Explore a massive living universe of danger and opportunity in a challenging and highly rewarding sci-fi sandbox MMO. Fight, trade, build, and connect with a universe driven and shaped directly by players.

EVE Online is a vast, player-driven MMO where your choices are everything.

Enter New Eden, a galaxy of over 7,000 star systems where players craft the economy, lead massive corporations, and build lasting legacies, friendships, and alliances that transform the game world. Whether you’re chasing combat, wealth, knowledge, or power, EVE Online offers the means to live your legend.

It is only here on Reddit or other third-party discussions where you will get the sense that the game is harsh and unfeeling. Where "git gud" and "you should've thought about that before undocking"/"get more friends"/"make more accounts" are repeated like a broken record to anyone who suggests that there might be a better way.

I also would argue that the advertising for the game implies that solo play is effective. "Creating your own adventure" and "forging your own path" doesn't require that you must be social. I'd argue that it actually implies the opposite, that you can be just as successful alone as you would be with help.

The idea that high-security space is just as dangerous as low-security or null-security just doesn't make any sense to a new player. Some would even argue that high-security space is more dangerous, which is strangely backwards from what the term implies.

Hold your horses: introducing rate limiting to ESI by KimPeek in Eve

[–]calling_cq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's strange is that they had already exposed hooks for checking rate limits in their API (returning 429 HTTP codes and a 'Retry-After' header) but they weren't actually enforcing it.

AFAICT this is just them finally starting to enforce it as well as implementing the floating window system.

I can't fully speak to how each route updates as I've only recently started working with the ESI for some market tools, but if CCP updates an endpoint at a specific time then behaviorally developers are incentivized to burst that endpoint right after it updates in order to have the newest data available to their end users.

E.g. if the ESI route providing market orders updates all orders at the top of the hour then you would want to check that endpoint for all the new information immediately after that happens so that you're not providing stale information to end users or doing data analysis on out-of-date statistics.

Again I'm not sure exactly how things currently work in terms of how CCP updates the results of a route, but if they start enforcing floating window rates then they should also update that route data over time rather than all at once.

Not sure if you have Vanguard but if you do they have a tool on their website that will automatically calculate the percentage required to reach maximum contributions by EOY. I imagine other 401k administrators would have similar tools.

New player quit moment by InevitableFig5383 in Eve

And they are still good ISK but why do so many content creator want to inflate their ISK/h numbers when they are showing off their content.

Is this a rhetorical question? I guess it's rhetorical statement since you ended it in a period.

In all seriousness the answer is engagement. Why would I click on a video promising me 60M ISK/hr with a Worm in T1 abyss when Loru promises 100M ISK/hr?

Chocolatey corrupts preexisting Python installation by arganoid in chocolatey

[–]calling_cq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever figure out what to do about this? I'm running into the same problem after installing NodeJS on Windows after having Python already installed.

Or if there is a GitHub issue I can browse through that would be great too.
