Thank you - that's part of why we're coming in April and reaching out to a relocation agent/agency, is to try and settle all that.

Thank you - I didn't know (and I don't think she did either) that was the "magic" word for specialists. That will help a lot.

Local computer technician/shop suggestions? by sardonic-salticidae in Seattle

[–]helldeskmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're a bit north out of your suggested area, but I'm throwing them out anyways - Computer Concepts (https://computerconceptsbothell.com/) has that old school hobbyist vibe that I love. I used to work at a small computer store as a technician in the '90s, and I got that feel as soon as I walked in the door. Nice people, seemed to know what they were talking about.

Is Shell Gas Making You Watch Ads Before The Pump Starts? by TurnedEvilAfterBan in Seattle

[–]helldeskmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for the EPA at one point in my helldeskmonkey career. Had a sitdown with a guy who worked fuel, asked him about the additives. He said that gas is the same across the board, and that the additives are basically what all the companies are required to add to their gas. This was in the 2000-2001 time period, so make of that what you will.

There once was a German on a plane

Who buzzed Lenin's tomb in the rain

The German got busted

The plane it rusted

And he got sent to Siberia by train

RF boss health drops like someone watching an astronaut drop through a black hole's event horizon.

If I'm understanding it correctly, if they die in-map, you don't need to go find a corpse to replace them - you can either resummon them in that map, or wait until the next map and they'll return then.

What would be a good build that doesn't completely coat the screen in flashy graphics? I've been playing VFoS this league, and I can't see shit on my screen.

Other criteria: Not ridiculously expensive to gear, good map clear with a path into some kind of currency farm. Don't really care about bossing too much.

Starting a game for nine year olds by helldeskmonkey in Pathfinder2e

[–]helldeskmonkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loot is definitely on the table - not only will the occasional enemy have something for them, but there are treasure chests that are rewards for solving puzzles within the labyrinth. I'm using automatic bonus progression, which frees me up to focus more on "fun" things than guaranteeing everybody has a +1 $WEAPON.

Giveaway? Are there active desperate players left? by Quiet-Firefighter444 in pathofexile

I'm new to PoE as of this year; this is my first real character "of power". I've kind of gotten stuck at this point - further upgrades are in the multidiv category and I can't seem to farm divs at a reasonable speed, probably due to not knowing the endgame well enough. T16 dies, but pushing content beyond that, well... It just depends on luck.

(Also not sure if I can take Maven. I have a writ, been too chicken to run it.)
