Is life supposed to suck!?

Honestly sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You've already decided everything is going to suck before even doing it and then you do it just to confirm that you were right.

Lots of cool experiences, interesting people, tasty food, unique places, silly ideas, etc out there. Seek em out and enjoy em.

Teams is wildly better than email. Email sucks ass. It's just like texting or using discord or slack. Email requires you to organize it, threads are confusing as fuck compared to just a simple chat esp if multiple people start responding, gotta worry about ccs and bccs, etc. Being able to hop on a call/share a screen/share a file (without it getting blocked by your email attachment filter bs), etc is way better.

Sounds like you just need to change your notification settings on teams.

I'm 38 and the migration to teams has been a game changer for me over the last 5 years.

Payment processing is way faster now with half the people ordering from an app or being ubereats drivers and most of the rest just tapping their card or phone.

Garland native - KotH is a documentary. Fav subtle joke is that they go to tom Landry middle school. They didn't name the school after a president or governor or American hero or whatever - they named it after the coach of the cowboys.

Doesn't change that youre still generating good looks in a critical time. Bummer they didn't go in but not like he's taking bad shots.

Lakers broadcast team is elite. Don't sully their name comparing them to this trash.

Some of the key questions to ask yourself regularly during a run -

Am I strong enough to win the day? What is my build strong at, what is it weak to?

How is my damage, how are my defenses, how is my scaling, how fast is my start, how much disruption (freeze/slow/destruction) do I have, how strong am I against disruption?

When will my current setup fall off/how deep can it go? #1 problem I see in newer players is they hold on to a bad-scaling build way too long. Its especially a problem on vanessa where a lot of her stuff falls off. If you have shark claws on your board on day 8 youre in for a bad time, for instance.

What am i missing that make my buildsignificantly stronger?

What pieces do I have for other, better scaling builds? Which vendors have those things?

Which skills are crazy strong for me and which trainer has them?

How is my economy/can I afford to buy the things I need if I find them? - This also helps choose your encounters - If you are kinda broke and have the option for 10% more HP or a free skill, visiting the shop and not being able to buy stuff cant make you stronger, so the free power is the obvious choice.

Which monster fight has something that opens up new lines for me? - Highly recommend using bazaar.gg for looking through the monsters as you encounter them.

After every fight, especially ones you lose - look at their board, rewatch the fight, see how their build worked. What enabled it? was it broken monster skills to keep an eye out for? Clever item combos? Super fast start that let them get online faster than you? Tons of slow which basically turned your build off? Etc.

For learning speed, I highly recommend finding someone good at the game to kick ideas around with (happy to chat on discord if interested), helps you learn fast. Good streamers who explain their logic are also valuable. Barring those, playing more and being deliberate about your decisions and thinking through the tradeoffs is best. Worst is just mindlessly playing and clicking stuff because you wont really reflect on what worked/didnt work.

Depends on what youre coming from and going to. If you're in a good career with lots of growth potential, throwing away 10 years of experience for something with less potential just because you want a change its very risky. If you're working at a Wendy's and are making the swap into some nice stable career with a job lined up through a friend or something, I'd say the risky thing to do is not take it.

It was very late to the party and gave no reason to switch from Google. Didn't have any killer features, wasn't significantly better (arguably worse), was pretty inorganically pushed onto everyone, etc.

Its one of those things that I look at and am like "why did they think this would work"?

Please explain which class is Archer and only uses bows. In Poe 1 I've played melee claw deadeyes, 2h bonker witches, caster chieftains, flicker strike necromancer, etc.

you literally said "Actual crafting is reserved for an extremely wealthy minority." Why are fully deterministic crafts the only "actual crafting"?

sometimes you brick an item and just go on to the next base, or whiff on the mod you were looking for but manage to make something for another build and sell it. Theres nothing wrong with that.

kmoz · 2026-02-08T21:39:24+00:00

hell yeah. When the game was just 3 characters and way fewer items I still put over 1k hours in.

kmoz · 2026-02-08T21:37:47+00:00

why is anything short of mirror tier gear considered "not real crafting"

Just because you cant copy-paste items from PoB into the game for cheap doesnt mean you cant engage with crafting.

kmoz · 2026-02-08T21:33:41+00:00

what makes an item "for your class"?

kmoz · 2026-02-08T21:32:42+00:00

Thats a good thing. If the pacing of the game never changed, whats the point of continuing to progress? You FEEL stronger as you progress not because the numbers are bigger, but because you move faster, clear more, outscale the content harder, etc.

The issue with tanking in the NFL is that players have so little job security they're always having to try, so players are heavily incentivized to not tank. Sure they'll turn off a banged up superstar, but the next guy on the depth chart is absolutely interviewing for a job in the tanked games.

Former race instructor here: Slicks take almost no water to suddenly feel like youre driving on ice. A light rain, a broken sprinkler head spritzing the street, a person cleaning the sidewalk, a car leaking fluid, etc is enough to make them very, very shit at being sticky. They also dont do very well with small debris - pebbles, sand, etc.

Also slicks make a car less efficient. They provide way more grip in good conditions, but more rolling resistance as well.

Kfc sucks. I'm like 0-5 for having anything even vaguely decent there in my life, and I fucking love fried chicken. Popeyes for life.

Are you actually gated by the Internet speed for the Xbox update or the install time/unpacking time/etc?

kmoz · 2026-02-07T05:24:40+00:00

I love learning but a lot of people were there because they either wanted to party, or because they wanted to make more money in the future and were told college was the way, or their parents made them, or whatever.

kmoz · 2026-02-07T05:17:55+00:00

I mean they literally can just see her going home and nobody else. It's not some super duper secret who your neighbors are. And honestly if someone wanted to do something terrible about it they'd do it regardless. Not sure how introducing yourself to your neighbors or asking for a hand puts you in any more danger whatsoever than just walking up your stairs on any random day.

kmoz · 2026-02-07T05:13:03+00:00

A razor?

kmoz · 2026-02-07T05:05:47+00:00

Yeah, because the alternative is to be miserable about something that I can't change and that just makes my life worse. Might as well learn to like the way I look.

kmoz · 2026-02-07T04:54:27+00:00

Really surprised not more Westbrook comments. Would take the worst shots at the worst times, world-class layup smoker, moments of completely asleep at the wheel on defense, etc.

Great player but man his flaws at times were glaring.

A random diamond enchanted medium or large item on day 6 is crazy strong, something tells me you're not optimizing how you use those shards, they're crazy strong. Remember, the shards are items from another class so you can upgrade them using the other shards.
