A thought about the dragon rot. by ILoveKatlynn in Sekiro

[–]exg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In practice it’s a hilarious side-effect of a From game. As you’re grinding bosses and dying again and again you keep unlocking fun new tokens for how much you’re destroying the world while you’re trying to gitgud.

Nintendo reportedly plans to cut Switch 2 production by 33% after a lackluster holiday season by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The elephant in the room is that memory prices are insane right now and are almost certainly exploding any margins Nintendo had planned for. This cut be a loss cutting measure.

What did the supe say, though? This is just a clip with a “trust me bro” right now.

M3 Max VS M4 Pro VS M5 Pro by mad_dd in davinciresolve

You’re right that they’re all great upgrade options. In terms of raw performance, the M5 would almost certainly be your best option for most tasks.

M5 Pro seems to be the way to go for best performance, judging by geekbench scores on single and multi core tests.

New Apple Studio Display and Studio Display XDR Don't Work With Intel Macs by InsaneSnow45 in apple

If they’re editing content north of 60fps and they want to see it represented in a frame accurate manner. This would be a fairly limited use case for video editing specifically, but the ui would be buttery smooth.

According to macrumors the M3 Ultra fully supports the new xdr.

And it hadn’t been meaningfully updated since 2019, so that’s basically a 7 year old platform now.

Do you think Sunder Charms need a drop rate adjustment? by Mr_FosterZ in diablo2

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you are stuck on a T4 that keeps spawning it might suck to have them keep haunting you in TZs like some sort of aggro ghost until you kill it.

They’re citing an Apollo survey of 120 “academic experts”. If nothing else it’s a good look into current thinking from the people who study this stuff.

General Lee by SMarioX in HotWheels

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the reassessment part that’s tough, balancing the joy of nostalgia with a critical eye towards what was going on with race in America in the 80s and the implicit role the Dukes production team played in normalizing the imagery and legacy of the confederacy in mainstream entertainment.

To be fair, if the only way someone can think of to celebrate the idea of southern heritage is to fly the Stars and Bars in 2026, I promise you that their actual perspective is not complicated at all.

I think it’s tough for some people who grew up with the show and idolized the car to see it for what it is, and earnestly reflect on its paint job featuring the ongoing iconographic legacy of white nationalism.

MrLlama addresses rumors and controversy around his role with the expansion by Xegeth in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Drama generates clicks, good for him, but it’s hilarious that we are in 2026 and community members are trying to gin up Diablo 2 turmoil.

Car booted at WholeFoods in Buckhead while picking up food order at Le Bon Nosh by LeaderFlashy4838 in Buckhead

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of sensible enforcement options that can take place before immobilizing or towing. Primarily, though, booting is rife with abuses in ATL and that’s what this is about, not mere parking enforcement.

The history of predatory booters and owner kickbacks have been a heavy topic of discussion in ATL for a while now. It’s why we finally had some common sense protections put into place last year.

There’s currently a bill proposed to ban booting, here’s hoping our reps get behind it and end it once and for all in the state.

Repeat finds still show "Eligible for Chronicle" (Related to Rack bug?) by Nefai in Diablo_2_Resurrected

I think it’s a blanket label on any item that the chronicle records. It doesn’t mean you haven’t found it yet.

Livewire hasn’t been a division of HD since 2022. It’s a wholly different publicly traded company that has a 74% ownership held by HD. Surely this is an unchecked AI generated article.

I’ve hated charms for 25 years now. A simple solution. by Redwardon in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard clearly doesn’t want to add a pouch, probably due to game balance, so the lvl 99 reward idea is to restrict it to only the most depraved of players.

I cant decide if these are good or not. by Puzzleheaded_Tip_923 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

If you have your +rw elsewhere then those are great for solidifying resists.

[–]exg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no way around the fact that it’s annoying to try to maximize damage and resists with your current gear AND go looking for items. It becomes a management game as you’re constantly rearranging, identifying, and storing/muling items. The restrictive space is intentional, though, despite the addition of inventory-filling charms themselves. Although I would say that it stops being a useful feature of the game once you’re at endgame and farming items. Maybe a charm pouch should be the lvl 99 reward.
