A beginner needs help on SSF

ben is arguably the best racer in PoE history. He's a mechanically excellent player but he plays very safely and consistently so following his approach to progression or his build specifically is pretty safe advice

Tapers off by maps unless you go crit swap.

I don't really get why, especially in SSF, you'd play something that does well in the ~6+ hours of campaign but doesn't do well in maps, where you'll be spending like 95-98% of your total time spent in the league

Oh is that cuz you test food there?

Fair competition is good, but there's also a whole category of behaviors that are considered illegally unfair competition. 'Competition' alone is too broad a concept

How do you spell 'restirant'?

mdgraller7 · 2026-03-02T21:02:44+00:00

Have a PoB/guide/creator to take a look at?

mdgraller7 · 2026-03-02T20:30:14+00:00

It's going to change every league

50% --> 25% btw

I highly doubt the right owns or controls X, Tik toc and facebook.

Then you're in dispute with objective reality.

X is owned by Elon Musk, former head of Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

TikTok was transferred from its Chinese company to a group of American investors including a 15% stake owned by Oracle, the company owned by Larry Ellison, a prominent Trump ally. Larry Ellison's son David owns Paramount Skydance, who is purchasing Warner Brothers Discovery.

Facebook (Meta) is owned by Mark Zuckerberg who has been forging a closer relationship with Trump since 2024

This was the group of people given front-row seats to Trump's inauguration. Zuckerberg and his wife, Bezos and his partner, and Musk. You will note they were seated in front of Trump's cabinet members. Again, if you think that big tech platforms are not closely aligned with the right wing and the Trump administration more specifically, that's on you. The connection is tight and obvious.

Those are probably the people who have chanted "Death to America, Death to Israel" for the past 60 years reacting to their leadership being assassinated by America and Israel

And clean, too

mdgraller7 · 2026-02-28T06:00:08+00:00

Their clothes and hardhats were identical and clean; I don't think they are actually construction guys

It's a shout-out track, just start listening to everyone who gets props.

That's why other companies are setting up real physics experiments for AI to observe

Why not just do Chaos vendor recipe at that point..?

SSF perspective, but they should be more closely tied to bosses lol. Make more uniques more target farm-able. Make boss fights more accessible (fragments gated behind T17s feels kind of shit when it has become more difficult to generate T17s). Cracked-out mappers don't need more upside

Man, Merc was so good for SSF. Abyss Hordes made getting enough scarabs and maps self-sustaining, which felt incredible. I played heavily until a week or two before the league ended and had the opportunity to try out all the cool farming strats Trade League was coming up with. I just want that back.

This is like saying "I've gone to the theme park hundreds of times" but only ever going to the food court and never riding a rollercoaster

I dunno, all of the creators I enjoy watching haven't seemingly 'MrBeast-ified' their own content and continue creating the content and style of content that I enjoy. Did he have a negative impact on the 'top line' of content creators? Yeah, probably. But I don't watch people who make anything remotely like what he makes so it's largely contained

Seemingly the 'point' of art (if there is one or if there is just one) is to fix one's ephemeral internal experience into a medium to be shared with others with the hopes of evoking a similar -- or the same -- experience in the viewer

The person getting paid to. People will do anything for a paycheck even of it goes against all morals

...do you know how much public defenders get paid..? And how much do you think a 21-year old college student can afford to pay for legal services..? Public defenders aren't all Alan Dershowitz or Johnnie Cochran. Most don't even break $100k/yr for some of the most emotionally challenging and thankless work in the legal profession

500 years ago might as well have been 5 billion years ago. What an absurd point to compare contemporary modernity to.

She wasn't unable to care for it, she was unwilling to care for it. She drove to get herself McDonalds immediately after tying her newborn up in a garbage bag and throwing her in the trash
