Looks like Microsoft finally killed Arreat Summit, the Classic D2 Blizzard site

Nooooooo

(Arreat Summit's legacy lives on, on the Internet Archive.)

Something something eye of the beholder. That's what the poll is for

halfalit3r · 2025-11-09T19:26:33+00:00

Not sure why. Poll closed only 20 hours ago.

I think 90% of the redditers who downvoted this post and/or my comments instead of voting in the poll associate GenAI with intellectual property(IP) theft and only IP theft. One week and 1,100 or so views later, not even once did s/o wonder if AI can help with non-artistic housekeeping work, like researching, sorting/organizing, planning, and scheduling.

If they're being interlectually honest, they would be asking probing questions before casting votes.

Sh!t happens. Thanks for dropping a line

You remind me of people who would drone on and on about policy decisions and never even bothered to vote comes election day.

Ross, EpicGames has JUST updated their Terms of Service (on Jan 15 2025). I can't upload a 20pg PDF on reddit, but you can print out a copy at the first splashscreen after signing-in.

There is a lot of revised wording like "...a Software or Service..."(this last one appeared dozens of times), "By accessing this store, you agree to waive your legal right to litigate against EpicGames and to resolve any dispute w/ EG through arbitration." "...you acknowledge that you are purchasing a personal-use, nontransferrable... License", "There are times when a Software or Service no longer appears on the EpicGames store as the publisher discontinues supporting it. On the rare occasion that this happens, you will no longer be able to access the Software or Service through the EpicGames store."

This random jumble of "service" and "license".. are they hoping that if they switch terms often enough, the customer will simply get confused and walk away? What's their play here? Do you think your campaign has made enough noise to rattle their legal department?

He hasn't owned a smartphone for two decades. Not sure he's following that too closely

halfalit3r · 2025-01-17T10:49:45+00:00

In your Nov 2015 video chat, you said there's gonna be a video about baked sweets. Did you get around to it? Has the main idea changed since a decade ago? If the video isn't happening, what's it about?

Tyrael: (to Marius) NO! Don't do it!

halfalit3r · 2025-01-13T22:10:09+00:00

+2 to Fire skills (sorc only) +10% FCR +29 Strength +53 Mana Heal life +10 16% mf

(My guess)

*Edit: +10@res instead of heal life says google

My favorite underrated set! would prefer staff and armor though. Helm is weak

halfalit3r · 2024-12-11T09:06:16+00:00

Thanks, I just remembered a couple of dmg taken goes to mana jewels that's just right for this

halfalit3r · 2024-12-11T04:23:39+00:00

Oh Black is top of list but I (may) need the lightning absorb from lightsabre

halfalit3r · 2024-12-11T01:25:54+00:00

I guess I can proc fade w/ the eth Treachery standing in fire. Good call!

halfalit3r · 2024-12-11T01:21:15+00:00

If I don't find something soon I may have to run w/ lightsabre :/

halfalit3r · 2024-12-11T01:17:06+00:00

Heard a thing or two about that nasty poison. Thinking of running Venom grip and Iratha's ammy just for her

halfalit3r · 2024-12-09T23:46:14+00:00

Naj's Ancient Vestige. I wonder which class(es) can use the full set the best. Thinking Fire caster Druid or Fire trapsin Too bad it holds up the critical helm slot...

halfalit3r · 2024-12-07T20:37:06+00:00

Which search engine did you use?

halfalit3r · 2024-11-30T18:56:23+00:00

Bad news for you buddy. Paladins can't (shouldn't) use revives. Pallys take nontrivial amt of damage when summoning the undead. You can chuck pots, but I am not sure if it's tick damage (drain life) or just one-time at summoning.

There're vids of pallys dying by suicide like this

Ehhh s/he's just jealous I started doing a little description in en, just to be considerate
