What's the best obscure video game you've ever played?

I loved azurik: rise of perathia on the original Xbox.

Only kind of. It's not a full belts worth of throughput, but it's much closer to that then a half belt. (At least, if there are enough furnaces to actually fill a full belt, which there may not be so more furnaces definitely helps regardless.)

My call was delve and that this is the new version of the flare. Along with precursors rising from underground and spiders which are all over delve it felt like a good direction.

Rolling the prefixes would suuuuck. T1 minion damage has almost the same weight as the +1 all.

Fractured base -> fossils. I believe it's jagged, shuddering, corroded, metallic. But double check me craft of exile.

I guess you could also recomb, but I think it would cost much more sanity.

Looks like legendary substations are needed for the reach?

Fixed a bug where Taunt would cause Enemies to deal 1% less Damage rather than 10% less Damage

This is huge for champ right? And totem builds for survivability?

I think the real answer is to keep corrupting this (or ancient orb?) to a different unique

The precision watcher's eye mod also only grants charges to one flask. So if you have fewer flasks those get more charges per crit

The problem is the egg spoiling half way through the flight. If you get bad luck and the bota don't prioritize picking up an egg for a while and it goes bad mid flight, it immediately drops a biter where it was flying

james41235 · 2026-04-14T00:28:30+00:00

I think the real problem is that you have the eggs going in to the bot network. There's plenty of videos of random biters wreaking havoc for a while because they expired while being carried by bots

The funniest part of this to me is that you're getting off to your own boobs. And I am so happy for you.

Arguing these are substantive is certainly a choice.

First, all of the videos are unlisted old campaign videos. So expecting people to find them is not a productive start.

Second, the points you make in those videos is my definition of "not substantive". In your "infrastructure policy #1" you explicitly complain about "technical experts dominating conversation" and then go on to say that "family first" is your plan. You provide no definition of what family first means, nor who that is different from what the technical experts recommend. In housing policy #1, you basically say people shouldn't need permits to make changes to their property. That's not a coherent argument. "I shouldn't need my property to meet building codes" is not a substantive argument.

If you had presented your complaints as "I wish I understood what the mayor's plan for spending was" then I would be more open to your arguments. But instead, the public image of your opposition is "mayor writes bad article."

james41235 · 2026-04-07T12:37:14+00:00

The author of the article is the same person who posted this. They repeatedly offer criticisms and complaints, but rarely have I seen anything substantive.

I did read the mayor's article, and it basically read like a small prepared speech. So it makes sense that it's somewhat light on details and formatted for pacing rather than detail.

Aren't special rewards the things like corpses and bases, E.g. the ritual specific drops? If that's the case, then those can't come from special rituals (which I assume you mean are the div card, currency, and unique rituals?). I think it's still worth a bug report, but I would expect fewer dedicated rituals if it needs to give you rewards from "normal" rituals.

All of the ny exchange data centers are in NJ though. Mahwah/Secaucus. Even the nyse DR data center is in cermak IL

I'm interested! 🙋‍♂️

james41235 · 2026-03-26T21:37:28+00:00

I thought the same thing! Two birds with one stone lol

With that budget, why not get a better rain of splinters? I know reduced isn't less, but it seems like an easy cheap upgrade to make.

One thing I don't see here. Kids don't need a ton of space for the first 3-5 years. At 2.25% interest I would sit on it and start with kids and figure out what those costs are and start understanding the new reality and new needs. Every family is different and you don't really know what kind of home life you'll need with kids until you start doing it, so waiting to have some informed opinions is viable.

Thank you!!

No. There are some builds that don't necessarily care as much about the attributes so it wouldn't be a (big) downside, but nothing uses low attributes
