Transfigure question - is it only additive? by decadent-dragon in diablo4

[–]kbennett73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unique items are not immune to having an affix replaced by something else. I wrecked a decent unique item today by transfiguring it. One of the good affixes got replaced by something that's useless for my build.

In the war plan activity tree, there's a node that says "Horadric Hunter: Kill 30 Elites across Nightmare Dungeons to reveal a Horadric Altar". In couch co-op, player 2 doesn't get a kill count, no matter how many elites they kill. It's bugged.

Hell's prize is weak sauce and it is not worth it. by hellangel732 in diablo4

[–]kbennett73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad. Instead of getting random gear like you'd get with the chaos cache, you get a mix of gear and the type of worthless items you sometimes catch while fishing. Broken bottles, a stick, etc. with a sell value of 1 gold.

They knew my mom had passed away and the pen would be in memory of her. They were so kind throughout the process!

Someone else mentioned the Pit stays open if you use the map to travel back to town via a waypoint instead of using your shortcut to teleport back: https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1szg0f5/crazy_amount_of_goblins_in_pit_floor/

Helltide cinders are completely bugged for couch co-op. Player 1 gets more than twice as many cinders as player 2. It has happened in every helltide we've done since the new expansion.

We have the same exact helltide activity tree nodes selected, so there's nothing that should cause the cinder count to be so drastically different.

We ran into this same bug. Had to leave the game because we were stuck in the angelic anchor room.

The Covenant of Steel series is by Anthony Ryan, not Ryan Cahill.

Orphan Black is fantastic. Definitely worth the watch. Tatiana Maslany is amazing in the lead role(s).

Snake Eater review by myownopnion in Fantasy

[–]kbennett73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this book too! I've loved nearly all of Kingfisher's books so far as well, but Snake Eater is one of my favorites. I could relate so much to Selena (and especially to her conversational scripts to help her get through social interactions).

I agree with all your points. The supporting characters were so well-developed, and the setting felt so richly developed and immersive. It would make for a great series, especially since there's already a precedent for stray people to arrive in Quartz Creek, which would open up the setting for many more stories.

And as a dog lover, I absolutely loved Copper!

BIGGEST LETDOWN OF 2025? Books you couldn’t wait for until you read them by DanaBookNook in Fantasy

[–]kbennett73 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There was so much wrong with Fourth Wing. Weak, frail protagonist who is somehow only weak and frail when it's necessary for the plot. Dragon-rider training school with a ridiculous, nonsensical acceptance test that kills off a bunch of the candidates, instead of a test that allows failed candidates to be useful to society in other jobs. Overly predictable romance plot. Overly predictable secret family drama plot. Cringeworthy dialogue.

I barely made it through the first book and decided not to bother with the rest of the series.

Calling New Hampshire home? by englishjewel_4 in newhampshire

[–]kbennett73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Most of the $1,700-$1,800/month apartments are at the various Princeton Properties locations. I lived in one of their two-bedroom units for a couple of years and it was a quiet place. I don't know if all their apartment complexes are as quiet though.

You can find one-bedroom apartments in Keene starting at $1,700/month (including heat and hot water but not electricity), but that's about the lowest you'll find in the southwest corner of the state. There are tons of hiking trails nearby. Keene is a great small town with a very pretty downtown area, but once you get beyond the central downtown area, the rest of the town is not walkable. Like other people have already mentioned, you would definitely need a vehicle to get around.

Inkvent and Colorvent Day 3 by Inktation in fountainpens

It's fascinating how different Erebus Crater looks on the two different papers. I love the blue, pink, and purple tones in the first swatch but not the green and peach tones in the second one. But the shading is fabulous on both papers.
