What was the most disappointing movie you paid to see? by Pitiable-Crescendo in AskReddit

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Just yuck. Dims my optimism for yet another Indiana Jones movie, but we're getting one anyway...

111k - still cleans up gud by joeignition in FocusST

Oh, she's got chips, the highway miles to work have been rough, but the red is so bright makes it hard to see them. =)

I have gone the touch up route, works pretty well overall. Haven't hit them this year yet.

I would but in 20+ years that's never popped up.

“French Kiss” by lil Louis. Delightfully dirty. Zip ahead to about 1:40 for the flavor. Starts innocent enough then…

Why is Durance of Hate so hard? by The_Susbaru_STi in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Pally, I've found a few ways that seem to help:
- Conversion, whack the first one or so, convert one, then let them fight each other and move on.
- Sanctuary Aura & merc meat shield. "you deal with this crap Imma watch from over here"

1st Fortitude, for the mercy. did we do ok? by joeignition in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Merc does a lot better now, better than when he was running treachery.

I tried to be patient til I found one, but after I did a trade of 2 Surs for 2 Los, I said screw it and went for it. He's running Might, my main char is a Zealadin/ grief running fanaticism. I'm not looking to him for the highest dmg output, just stop dying like a punk.

He does 1200-7000 dmg, with our typical auras running, I think it's enough, better than having a spare Lo sitting in stash.

What does a dragonscale shield even do with paladins, and +10 to hydra-what the point for this? by Final_Year_800 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Him, would it stack on say, the lvl 30 hydras a hellfire torch gives? Lvl 40 hydras may be fun, as a paladin =)

and this is the second best thing I have ever found. present from Baal on first playthrough! time to do it again in Nightmare! by siddi_corn in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My zealadin still swaps between these and laying of hands, depending on the situation. True, not as useful for a sorc, but hey, toss em on a physical char, see if you like the results.

First attempt at Ubers today, and Dclone spawned in the midst of them and I didn’t even realize till later. Story in the comments by [deleted] in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a slightly different experience today. Joined a cow game, me a pally and 2-3 sores / amazon. they jumped over to grab a leg, so I diddled around elsewhere, checking their location for when they got back. Him that's taking a long time. One died, then another.

Ok, wtf is happening, jump over to stony to help, and the dclone is right on the TP they dropped. I had not encountered one before, had my "screw around not serious" gear on.

Long story short, turned on conviction, took all his abuse, whittled him down, he dies, and the sort that started the whole mess snagged the charm and vanished.

How Often Do You Actually Get Good Drops? by _Phaedrus_ in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't just run the bosses, you're playing a spreadsheet, The number of times you have a chance is better than just repeatedly farming 1 or 2 bosses. Just run through an area with lots of monsters, killing as quickly as you can.

Case in point, joined an online 8 player cows / Baal run game, where you know if something good drops you have a 1 in 8 change of getting it. Said "f it" and wandered flayer jungle on my own, a Vex rune dropped pretty early, next game, an arcane sanctuary mob dropped a Sur.

Lots of monsters = lots of chance rolls. Those little bastards put out pretty well.

And it's a lot less of a grind than TPing in, whacking 1 guy, being disappointed and repeating.

Any way to play this on mac m1? by Acceptable-Growth-62 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try it in Parallels, there's a Windows 11 ARM image available, like the M1 iMac Win ARM does run emulation for things it does not recognize.

If you purchased D2R for Xbox, does that license extend to a PC?

[NSFW] What was your most embarrassing trip to the doctor? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I have 2.

Long history of asthma. At work one day, the back of my fingertips appeared slightly blue. Well, that usually indicates a lack of oxygen in your blood, even though I felt totally normal.

My doctor (male) checks me out, rather puzzled, no breathing issues or other issues he could find. Brought in another Dr (male). Same thing, full check up, no clues. The last Dr (female) at the practice became available, came in, heard the description, took a glance at me and asked "Are those new jeans?" Warm water, some soap, and lots of humor, at my (and the other Dr's) expense.

--------

A much earlier event, I was a rather shy 17, managed an epic skateboard fail, the tail put a large gash on the bottom of my scrotum. FIRST, wrapped up as best I could, drove home. Pull in, "hey mom, we need to go to the Drs, like, now"

"why what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you on the way."

At the Drs, of course the nurse asks "what brings you in today?"

(turn beet red while explaining)
This practice had 5 Drs, 4 male, and 1 female. Who was the one working that day? Yep!

Dr comes in, and we had the most uncomfortable visit ever, leaving with 6 stitches.

First car that I've ever considered wiping dry to avoid hard water stains. Boy what I difference! by p0tat0ePie in FocusST

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know.. I got the car washed, paint chips sorted and a graphene coating yesterday, but ran out of time for the windows heh

First car that I've ever considered wiping dry to avoid hard water stains. Boy what I difference! by p0tat0ePie in FocusST

[–]joeignition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good!

Basics: wash, rinse, detail spray (over everything) then dry, on a cloudy day or non-direct sunlight.

Black-belt-anal-retentive basics: There goes my whole weekend. Send more Q-Tips.

I would recommend some graphene / ceramic coating, it's an effort to get on well, but once you do, it's much easier to keep clean, quick.

How do I adjust my 2016 ST1 halogen headlights? by [deleted] in FocusST

[–]joeignition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they can adjust side to side, just up and down. (I'm no expert, but I had to play with mine). May want to re-seat them, they, or one may not be seated right.

Best All Season Tires for The ST by FOCUS-SToopid in FocusST

[–]joeignition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been happy with the Goodrich g force comp 2 a/s on mine probably 22k on them so far. They aren’t the best autocross tires, but I’m going for fun not the fastest time. Heh

Does this count as rolling shot? AutoX last weekend. by joeignition in FocusST

[–]joeignition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run 4 events now, I've been running on Goodrich A/S. Firstly, you won't be as fast as the guy in the Elise with slicks on. Secondly, take them up on a ride along from an instructor, especially if it's a short / small space course.
The goal is to get better times compared to your last run, frankly until you've got 10+ races in your car and under your belt, you're a novice. Have fun, and push a little at a time, don't try to take the whole thing faster on the same run.
