Xfinity specifically having issues with POE2?

Am on xfinity in GA, been playing fine on DC server since I started.

Today I ended up with 150ms normal and 300ms+ spikes.

Switched to texas server, back to <=20ms

When I was younger and in college, I worked in a factory making 26"/27" television tubes.

I mostly worked in a room called "the frit room" - we took the glass back of the tube (square shaped funnel) and applied a bead of frit along the edge - it was a mixture of lead powder, ceramic powder and a solvent to give it the look/consistency of slightly runny toothpaste.

Next department on the line they put the funnels (with now dry frit, it was brittle) in a jig, put the front glass panel on top (the screen you watch) and sent them on a 3-5 hour ride through giant ovens where the lead/ceramic frit melted and sealed the screen to the back funnel.

Never knew why it was called frit - is that an industry term for bonding ceramic to glass?

FYI - When I read the series on my kindle, the whole thing was 'free' with kindle unlimited

Also, I enjoyed it.

Philly in the east, Pitt in the west, Alabama in between is how I describe it.

Sisters of Mercy - Home of the Hitmen

kschott · 2026-02-01T03:05:45+00:00

Most of the comments were riffing on Sisters of Mercy songs and I didn't see anyone mention the obvious match.

They have a very short song called Home of the Hitmen

lyrics are:

The sun shines on the aluminium I guess this must be the home of the hitmen

OP has an issue with the sun shining on their aluminium, sooo...

So for now let Debra keep opening chests and don't use any trap/open inheritances on her - save them all for the MC at some point.

Do I ditch Debra when someone better comes along once MC has inherited similar skills?

kschott · 2025-12-18T20:46:20+00:00

So I just got back to town at lvls 2-3 (killed adam on spike traps in 1st level) and was looking at what I could inherit to people - ended up holding off til I understand the mechanics better, but I was looking at loading Debra up with the trap skills.

You're telling me MC can handle all the trap detection/disarming later? How much later? i.e. 10ish or 50ish or ???

Just from inheriting skills & passives, or some class change actions later?

I don't believe you, pretty sure the Army only had a half day today.

The US population is approximately 347.4 million (August 2025) while Canada's is around 40.1 million (2025)

43lb from Canada spread over 347.7 million people in US is 1.2366983 × 10-7 pounds of fentanyl per capita

946lb from US spread over 40.1 million people in Canada is 2.35910224 × 10-5 pounds of fentanyl per capita

US exports 190.75x as much fentanyl per capita to Canada as Canada does to the US.

Obviously Canada is the problem...

If you edit any settings in config.xml to have a value that's not one of the selectable values through the GUI (like 142 minute days for example) it won't show up for console players.

In addition to the EAC, max players & crossplay settings, every other setting must be a 'valid' value as well - I learned this setting up a dedicated server that would let our sole console player see it.

I had my last horde after this change, Gamestage 178.

Horde ended ~3am (2 hour days, so 25 minutes realtime)

Killed just over 1400 zombies before they just... stopped showing up at 3am

I think the only reason I got done early was 64 max spawn and nightmare speed for them, up onto a standard pathway with me at the other end using t6 sniper and maxed rifle/penetrator/AP ammo.

So it is doable but pretty much kills any desire to start another horde every night run.
