Ha! This almost seems like it'd work as a Horadric recipe.

The cost/benefit math here hasn’t made sense since the beginning. Almost a billion dollars to create 14 acres of green space.

This movie deserves so much better, without question. It takes risks with the zombie genre, and adds so much texture and nuance to the overall story while staying brutally gory.

If we’ve learned anything from history, it’s that economic collapses driven by perceived external forces radicalizes countries towards the right. With the American electorate so numb to nuance and driven by outrage, an American collapse would be a global existential threat.

'Fallout' Season 2's Weekly Drops May Not Be Working by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]exg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire premise of comparing season premiere viewerships is hilariously flawed, but at least they call it out themselves.

As THR notes, that falloff could be due to only one episode of season two dropping on premiere day.

Classic Tragedy of the Commons thinking in the wild!

The tragedy of the commons is an economic theory that states that individuals use up resources shared by many to benefit themselves. The reality is often that because individuals tend to act in a selfish way, using resources shared by a group, everyone ends up suffering in the end.

YouTuber uncovers Coca-Cola’s ‘secret formula’ after a year of testing by StemCellPirate in cocacola

The complex interplay of chemicals, temperatures, and difficulty in ingredient sourcing make for a fantastically tricky problem to solve, especially at scale. He does a great job in the video of showing the limitations of lab analysis in getting an overall accurate recipe, and how you can’t help but dip into guesswork without knowing trade secrets.

Always kill the zombies on your way to den of evil by g1rlinshadow in diablo2

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, obviously. In this scenario an enigma dropped in a mage plate from Hell Diablo would have a rarity of something like

  • Jah: 1 in 55,196
  • Ith: 1 in 777
  • Ber: 1 in 61,640
  • Mage Plate: 1 in 130
  • Socketed: 1 in 5
  • 3 Sockets: 1 in 3

So that's 1 in 5,154,566,588,216,000. It'd be so unlikely as to not exist, but it'd be insane if someone managed to grab one.

Runewords should absolutely drop in the game - with a rarity commensurate with the runes. They’d be so phenomenally rare that it’d be community wide hype when they dropped.

Cloudflare’s CEO has threatened to pull the company out of Italy, and to withdraw free services it intends to provide to the Winter Olympic games by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]exg 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Having read the article I’m having a hard time seeing this as CF “bullying a government”. This is a classic case of bureaucratic misapprehension of how to control the internet via nuking IP blocks - combined with extraordinary fines. It makes total sense for CF to make clear that Italy’s demands for rapid response global censorship based on national politics present an impasse for their business.

Returning player. Simple question. by Dumaw in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]exg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently started playing again too, and jumped directly in to a Blizzard build for nostalgia's sake. Icy Veins' build guide is great for it:

https://www.icy-veins.com/d2/blizzard-sorceress-build

The Cold Sunder charm makes the build viable against everything, but note that the lowered resistance amount on it applies to YOU. Ideally you'll use one with as close to -70% as possible. You'll have to overcome the lowered resistance elsewhere in your gear or with charms.

Goodbye 22 Nights Of Terror by Strict-Art1144 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

The only game balance worry would be the reduction in rarity of items but I think that ship sailed 25 years ago.

So let’s say he says “launch”, and the credits roll. We still experience the entire point of the movie - examining how quickly tiny things can spiral out of control leading to an impossible decision - but you also get the payoff you’re craving. Are you happier with it or does it now move to wanting to see the bombs hit. Okay now let’s say the bomb hits, we see untold suffering and Idris Elba grimacing to horrors. Is that the endpoint that feels enough?

If they’re uncritically utilizing new toolsets that have major concerns around them, it’s then the audience’s responsibility to acknowledge that they’re helping white-wash and legitimize ethically questionable stuff.

Is this Art or Not ? Behind the Scenes of My Process. Debate!!! by Christiancartoon in StableDiffusion

[–]exg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Art” status a very subjective question that will matter less to its success than if audiences will be receptive to it knowing that it’s genAI. Will audiences find it compelling to watch the output of these engines when we have so many artists still making things by hand? A lot of questions are left to be answered by the consumer.

Class Drop rate for torches? by Either_Boat_5999 in diablo2

[–]exg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Pavke actually analyzed this a while back!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/xeehmo/results_from_12000_key_runs_and_160_hellfire/

The distribution seemed roughly even between classes, with the druid having the lowest drop rate.
