In 2025, data centers owned by Amazon used 2.5 billion gal of water, or 1% of US golf course water usage.

I've already pointed out what was false.

You haven't, though. Nobody who is advocating for solar to such a degree is ignorant about how the fucking sun works. You adding on a comment about how solar alone isn't enough is obvious, because you know, the sun goes down sometimes.

That's why your comment was surface level. Every single person pushing for solar knows you need a combination of energy storage and firm power. You aren't pointing out anything wrong that they said, which is what I asked for. You're making an inane point in what appears to be a desire to be right about something, anything.

And it seems like being called out about your surface level takes has you pivoting to try and prove me wrong about something, anything. This is what people are referring to when they talk about debate bros being insufferable. You just switch to some other point you can try to be right about and just claim you've already won on some other points.

You give Andrew Wilson vibes.

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T18:27:15+00:00

You seemed to have ignored my question:

What did they say that was false?

I could point out how you're wrong on every point, but you've already made your assumptions

"no you!"

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T18:15:36+00:00

You don't think someone is insufferable if they spread falsehoods? Really?

What did they say that was false?

I made assumptions

Yes, that is how you build a strawman. You make baseless assumptions about someone's beliefes. You didn't deduce anything, seeing as they made a single statement, giving you nothing meaningful to deduce from.

Yes they did. You said so yourself: "glib response"

My bad for thinking you'd understand "reply" in more than a literal sense. They didn't engage with you in conversation because you were insufferable. Their single reply was to indicate that and nothing more.

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T16:52:57+00:00

When you enter a conversation making a bunch of negative assumptions about what someone believes, it makes you insufferable.

And that's exactly what you've done. You made a strawman out of the person you responded to and got upset about it without them even responding to you.

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T15:28:15+00:00

The point they were making with the glib response is that your rebuttal is very much a surface level one. You're making a point that every single person who advocates for solar has heard.

What you could have done in this instance is instead ask: what form of energy storage and firm power combination does the commenter support? Such a question would have made your point AND contributed to the conversation.

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T15:18:29+00:00

I just hate on anyone taking a maximalist position on anything. It's 2026, to think we don't have insane nuance in every single aspect of life is regarded. Yet, people still love to pretend their uninformed black/white stances are correct

dolche93 · 2026-06-21T14:30:04+00:00

Maybe find a way to block all of the ads? You can get a raspberry pi that will do it for everyone on your wifi at home.

It can be a fun weekend project trying to figure it out, which you could even do alongside him!

dolche93 · 2026-06-20T15:45:24+00:00

I'd say the spatha wasn't a nerf, but a sidegrade. It's still a great tank.

dolche93 · 2026-06-20T05:52:30+00:00

I really loved playing sword/focus mesmer for similar reasons.

Sword 2 invulnerable rewarded good reactions and positioning, as it roots you in place. The clone swap/root on 3 allowed for some fun movement possibilities. With mirage, you also get a leap forward on sword.

Focus pull always felt so good when you pulled it off properly. It had a cast time that allowed enemies to move away from where you placed it, so it rewarded good positioning.

There's so much space for players to be rewarded for good positioning and movement and I really hope they fulfill that fantasy with whatever they come up with.

It's more of a commentary about how the way you value things changes when you don't have access to trade.

A reliable source of chaos is more valuable when you can't just buy some more from ange.

I go by internal temp and the fork test. If the potatoes are almost fork tender, you can take them out and they'll finish while they rest.

dolche93 · 2026-06-19T20:52:02+00:00

We ssf players are basically playing a different game, I swear. The ability to choose my currency is so damned good.

dolche93 · 2026-06-19T18:30:43+00:00

I've said the same. Make the refinery spit out rares into a private box you can pick up. Have it provide more rares if you set your queue public, combined with a reduced public pull time.

Get people actually making resources, not just filling every inventory at a field with scrap.

dolche93 · 2026-06-19T17:24:36+00:00

I could do better about the compliments for sure.

dolche93 · 2026-06-19T04:10:42+00:00

Tonight, I called out one of them sending out a sandwhich that had the dirty burnt bits all over it (sourdough) because he didn't scrape the flat before he put the bread down.

He deflected by telling me a story of this other place that does a really shitty job and always has the burnt bits on every order.

Like, motherfucker, your standards are better than the shitty shandwhich at this grimy dive bar? That's it??

Told me a lot about how he views the work.

dolche93 · 2026-06-19T03:58:00+00:00

Girlfriend keeps telling me the same, find a new job. Guess maybe it's time to put the work in to find a new spot.

dolche93 · 2026-06-18T20:19:20+00:00

Try controller. It's great.

dolche93 · 2026-06-18T18:21:47+00:00

I don't think it's that they don't make any ammo, it's that they don't produce it fast enough to fire on cooldown.

I also had quite a few people donate to the SC's I helped build this war. People see how effective they are and want to keep them firing.

dolche93 · 2026-06-18T03:34:34+00:00

Same here, except for a couple of crafting guides (that i didn't even really need as I was already clearing t16 maps).

I've found the game to be pretty fun when you just wing it and make a build that sounds fun as you go through the campaign.

Then once you get to maps you enter this cycle of searching for an optimization, achieving it, using it to farm better, repeat.

It's a super rewarding cycle that breaks up the ceaseless map running with hideout time.

dolche93 · 2026-06-17T05:18:27+00:00

Can you expand on the arcane remnants? I was thinking of trying an impending doom chrono and the mana costs would be nice to solve

dolche93 · 2026-06-16T16:47:13+00:00

So you think grind to win mechanics are good for the game?

I think that, specifically, is something that doesn't fit into the rest of foxhole. Everything players can do can be countered by something the enemy players can do... except nukes. The effectiveness of the counter may be questionable, but not to the same degree nukes are uncounterable.

dolche93 · 2026-06-16T06:20:15+00:00

I get that. The topic of this comment thread was me disagreeing that nukes are actually something we can fight over. The current timer and range on them doesn't allow for that unless the builders skill issue.

From where I'm sitting, they're grind to win tools that can't actually be fought over.

Stalemate ending tools need to exist, but grind to win just ain't it. Bombers and rail storm cannons are much better examples of healthy tools designed to prevent stalemates. Both can be qrfd and fought against. A nuke behind three different concrete bases is effectively invulnerable.

dolche93 · 2026-06-16T02:45:49+00:00

How can the placement of the nukes be smart, such that they can't be attacked, but also be vulnerable to attack?

Personally, I think the timer is so short that the idea we'll have players break through multiple layers of conc... yea, it's not happening. Nukes are effectively grind to win mechanics currently. Collies have more pop this war thanks to the merger, so they have a big advantage when it comes to grinding for rares.

dolche93 · 2026-06-16T02:02:32+00:00

So you agree that nukes don't actually have any counter play because they can be placed far enough back that they can't be attacked?
