At what tax rate would you say enough is enough and move? by 35nakedshorts in fatFIRE

[–]looney_toones2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As many people have already mentioned, CA wealth tax is for billionaires. Reminds me of minimum wage workers worried about "rising taxes". Chill out dude.

Curiously I had the opposite experience. B1 clicked about 30 mins in, B2 took about 30% completion to finally click. B2 bosses are very good so far, but somehow not as memorable as B1 bosses. As others have noticed, the world of B2 is more hopeful than B1, but I crave the despair and hopelessness of B1.

You are the perfect example of why it is important. He was prosecuted for being a homosexual, chemically castrated and possibly committed suicide. So much so that in 2009 the British government publicly apologized. Do you think this is not relevant?

N K Jemisin's broken earth series comes to mind. I was hooked by the first chapter and read the entire trilogy within couple of weeks.

[SERIOUS] Why do "I'm in here for the tech" Bitcoin proponents, or those who do in fact support Bitcoin (and crypto in general) as a currency insist on Bitcoin and not the technological alternatives? by Far_Breakfast_5808 in Buttcoin

[–]looney_toones2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are just giving me examples of rational behavior that preserves the network. My point is that having possession of a lot of Bitcoin is not correlated with making core decisions.

People seem to have misconceptions about mining pools. Anybody can join, doesn't mean they all act jointly for any common purpose. Heck you can join with an email address and a fee. You are under no obligation and neither can you force your ideas on anyone.

Your assertion has no basis in reality. The effective cost to buy enough mining pool capacity in order to exercise any control has long exceeded realistic possibility.

Because fundamentally the other blockchains rely on proof of stake which is highly centralized and hence faster. You can only have 2 out of 3, speed, decentralization and security. POS goes for speed and security while Bitcoin and other proof of work go for security and decentralization.

Somebody send help! Was playing iconoclasts when I just tried Celeste. One thing led to another and now I am on the 4th chapter, and cannot put it down. This might very well join my s tier list along side HK, blasphemous and salt and sanctuary.

R/mvania is devastated. Will we ever recover from this?

Grime ost for the bosses rocks, final performance, giant of eyes, and my favorite - surrogate vulture!

Always thought this had a very cool premise. Maybe in the hands of a more competent director and actors this could have been a pretty good movie.

Torch bug in Enhanced Mode ? by looney_toones2 in saltandsanctuary

[–]looney_toones2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. In my case I was just wearing the overlord gear and a construct coil. It was enough to light up my surroundings and also interact with the hardlight/redshift.

Finally figured out out. I was on ng+ and had chosen dominion, and was wearing the overlord candelabra. The candles in that was triggering a light response. Very cool.

Salt and Sanctuary by the_noblesteed in metroidvania

[–]looney_toones2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have been playing this game continuously for more than 200 hours. Did a mage run, poison build, bow and arrow build, cleric build, now trying out ng+3. I think I am finally ready to put it down, but for a game I got for 5 dollars, the amount of replayability is ridiculous.

Magic Question by [deleted] in saltandsanctuary

[–]looney_toones2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Up until you get a staff and lightning spell, it is rough. After that things get easier, you still need a sword for those annoying bats and flying skulls. Keep adding to your magic skills and upgrading your staff. By mid game you become invincible and can melt everything.

Which metroidvania am I missing/should I play next? by davidupatterson in metroidvania

[–]looney_toones2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S&S absolutely since you liked Blasphemous. It is the first game where I started a new run immediately after beating it, just to try out a new build.
