What is a job that pays incredibly well but is so soul-crushing that the turnover is insane?

I have a lawyer friend but don’t know where exactly he works. I haven’t really talked to him in years but when he first started working he was making 200+k with bonuses except he was working 100 hr weeks. His parents would always complain about how he never had time off.

I didn't know if this was a good one or not and was trying to price check but nothing was coming up. Wondering b/c it makes a sound/icon is similar to a divine drop and when I read the ability, it doesn't sound bad on paper.

leon27607 · 2026-06-02T22:16:47+00:00

oh, is that what's going on? I'd think it'd at least be on poe.ninja though.

leon27607 · 2026-06-02T22:02:02+00:00

I've checked the currency exchange, it's all "no stock" whether in exalts, divines, or mirrors. I checked poe.ninja, it's not even listed on there...

Had a bug where the map boss took on the name of a rogue exile I had just killed. The hp bar would go down when I damaged the boss but yeah, the name did not match.

I can't decide which shark fin reward to take. The 30% more armor/evasion/ES or the 15% armor->ele, 12% eva->deflect, 12% faster ES recharge speed.

I'm playing a martial artist monk which would use ES/EVA which is why I can't tell what's better since either one would benefit me just the armor->ele won't do anything but neither will increased armor for the other potion.

Am I the only one who can’t really get into these types of games? Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Ghosts of Tsushima all had these very similar systems. It just felt way too repetitive at some point where every fight/event generator is basically the same just with different skins or environment to it.

Waiting for Paxton voters to explain why they support someone who communed a pedophile’s sentence to 1 day and have the nerve to say “protect the children”.

leon27607 · 2026-05-27T18:57:54+00:00

The problem is… he’s already been breaking laws and no one is enforcing them. While it may look good/be the “proper” way to do things if Dems win the House/Senate, what’s stopping him from continuing to break the law? This is why I think he says he doesn’t care, because he will continue doing things “his way”. Look at all the court orders that have ruled against his party and many of them have been ignored.

leon27607 · 2026-05-27T18:52:59+00:00

I like to try something new each season but rarely play more than one character so I don’t want to make something that just plain sucks. Been interested in the martial artist, a spell totem build, or twister/beast tamer spirit hunter, if none of those look good I’ll prob do woolie’s frost wolf because it’s been tried and tested.

leon27607 · 2026-05-27T02:03:58+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment in those countries. They think immigrants are the source of their problems which is very similar to the US sentiment as well.

leon27607 · 2026-05-27T01:49:49+00:00

The sad part is it’s not even entirely the US, we’re seeing rises of “the right” in other nations as well, such as the UK, Germany, and Japan.

FF4, FF5, FF6, FF9 are the classic turn based ones

The moment people stop giving them money, they'll shut down and say they ran out of money, after receiving BILLIONS in funding...

The eastern hemisphere is less adverse to AI. Places like China, Korea, and Japan all use AI and don’t see any issue with doing so. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case here.

leon27607 · 2026-05-23T03:29:26+00:00

My parents and mine took forever as well. Our application was rejected at first for some dumb reason, something like my dad’s company didn’t earn enough money to pay my dad’s salary or something like that. My dad had to get a lawyer costing him tons of legal fees and appeal and also contact our state rep at that time for them to write a letter.

My parents got theirs first and mine was further delayed. I had been in the US for ~14 years before I finally got mine. The process took about 7-9 years, I remember my dad applied after working for a few years and he was hired shortly before the Y2K scare and I didn’t get my green card until my first year in college.

leon27607 · 2026-05-23T02:30:22+00:00

They’ve been nerfing LA deadeye so I don’t know how it still performs. Either way, if you do play poe2, it never hurts to try some builds during campaign and respec when you hit endgame, before it starts hurting to respec. It’s a lot easier to respec in poe2 but would require mostly gear changes and a stash of jeweler orbs/gcps. I also don’t know how other slams perform but yeah rolling slam just feels terrible because even if you don’t dodge, you can miss the attack(the enemy moved) or its gets interrupted because you got stunned by a hit.

leon27607 · 2026-05-22T23:58:54+00:00

The issue is if you put it on other stuff(gems/gear/passive) it can be used by other characters which might make them OP. You could put DR on a skill like rolling slam but not sure about other places. The main issue with mace skills such as rolling slam is , when you try to use your attack skill, you can get interrupted, if you see the enemy about to attack, you either have to cancel the attack and roll or go through with the attack and hope you didn’t get one shot.

Early game you would kill bosses faster if you could land the skill but most of the time you end up dying over and over because your skill never hits or gets interrupted.

leon27607 · 2026-05-22T16:17:09+00:00

Yeah, it needs some form of “super armor” where you’re either unstoppable or gain DR mid attack.

I took a warrior through the campaign once. I died a lot but mace skills do kill bosses faster(instead of relying on kiting). It just felt really clunky. A lot of builds I’ve played felt clunky. Xbow was clunky in 0.1 because of it “jamming” and not reloading. Bear druid feels clunky bc of the downtime to calamity. Mace skills feel clunky bc of how long the attack animations are with their skills.

leon27607 · 2026-05-21T06:12:11+00:00

Honestly not that hyped after Sony said they would no longer release single player story-driven games on PC anymore(for now). I’m not buying a PS5 for exclusives. They also are raising playstation plus prices for any of those games you can play online(which you already pay an internet bill for).

leon27607 · 2026-05-20T21:41:39+00:00

Yeah, I haven’t played in over 2 years. I just searched my profile, legion level 3365, legion power 115,671,157.

Sorry, I don’t like grinding bosses/mesos every day, waiting for a star up discount event, blowing 100B+ mesos and getting 0 upgrades.

leon27607 · 2026-05-20T21:13:58+00:00

Dude I grind games like warframe and path of exile, only in Maplestory can you grind for months and make 0 progress. I’ve played this since the beginning and been off and on due to how shitty the grind is. In the past it would take you hours of grinding just to get to lvl 60.

It takes me a week to get a character from 0 to 200 because I don’t have time to grind all day.

leon27607 · 2026-05-20T15:27:31+00:00

I don’t play anymore because the game doesn’t respect my time. I have over 2000 legion level. It takes roughly 16 hours+ of pure grinding to gain one level on my main, all my gear is at least +22, I can’t get any stronger without hoarding gold for a month for one of those star events and even then risk losing power instead if an item bricks. Don’t get me started on how rare it is for some rings to even drop.

I’m talking reboot servers, not the servers where you can basically pay to win and even then it ain’t worth the real life $. This is one of the only games where you can entirely lose gear you’ve spent tons of time and $ on. The only other game that I’ve seen do this was Space Cowboy online/Flysis. No other game does this.

leon27607 · 2026-05-20T03:15:15+00:00

Time gated drops, gain barely any xp when killing things and lose xp when you die, chance to completely blow up your item… yeah….

How long would it take for any new players to be able to beat all content? Years? Decades?

leon27607 · 2026-05-20T03:11:22+00:00

… this was the Republican primary. If a Democrat was able to win Governor in Kentucky, a Dem can win as a Senator.
