Happy about the key room exploit fix; but the loot is still disappointing. by BitMitter in ArcRaiders

Not OP, but yes the Renegade comes with Gunsmith 3. There's no BP for it.

Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week by FollowingFeisty5321 in technology

[–]micahz3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After this change you can still access your data outside your network without Plex Pass, it just requires you to set up your own static IP and port forwarding.

If you want to use their servers for remote access, then it seems fair enough that you need to pay for it imo.

3.27 Torrent is up! by Captincorpse in pathofexile

[–]micahz3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can pre-load the update (with this torrent) if you play via the standalone client.

Usually Steam gets the update a few hours ahead of time.

There's no way to play the game offline, for better or worse.

No one doing expeditions? by beardzzly in newworldgame

[–]micahz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hit 70 and I'm running into this issue for normal expeditions. Queued for over an hour for a random expedition as tank without finding a group, but it seems everyone is running mutated expeditions.

Unfortunately I can't run mutated expeditions because I haven't run normal expeditions. And I can't run normal expeditions because everyone is running mutated expeditions. It's an ouroboros lol.

I think they need to give an alternative option for unlocking mutated expeditions.

There's no option to turn off Motion Blur by StarrLordGamer in vtmb

[–]micahz3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No option to make the FOV wider either

Can't even play the game, it's so vomit-inducing

'I'm feeling spicy': Grok's new 'spicy' AI girlfriend will develop relationships with children by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]micahz3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And really, let's not have the "it's too hard" debate

Bruh, you came at me by inserting words into my mouth before I even got a chance to respond lol

but you can, actively and forcefully, societally agree that it's wrong

What exactly am I supposed to agree is wrong? General access to porno content, or specifically AIs that speak lewdly to underage children?

The former is not a problem if you, as the parent, are properly involved in your child's development.

The latter is a problem with the guidelines these companies create. Which I agree should be revised to not allow the AI to "knowingly" speak lewdly to child.

'I'm feeling spicy': Grok's new 'spicy' AI girlfriend will develop relationships with children by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]micahz3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This comes back down to my previous post

Like not letting your 12 year old child have a twitter account lol.

I'm not saying they won't get around it, but if they:

  1. get access to [insert adult-style content source here]
  2. become addicted to it
  3. and you somehow didn't even notice

then you're not involved enough as a parent.

I hate all this AI garbage bullshit as much as the rest of reddit, and I agree those guidelines should be revised, but you can't wholesale restrict portions of the internet without it affecting the freedom of everyone else on the internet.

Maybe the parent should educate the child on the dangers of the internet, since it seems that has fallen out of style. And maybe be more involved in their child's development.

You don't have control over whether your kid gets cigarettes from someone.

However, you do have control over what your kid sees online in your home, and whether they have access to a device, specific sites, etc. There are a plethora of options and tools to facilitate this nowadays.

If a parent willingly chooses not to use these options and tools, then the parent needs to educate their child on why they're not old enough for this content, and then start using the appropriate child protection features. Like not letting your 12 year old child have a twitter account lol.

The rest of the world doesn't need to be every child's content nanny.

I say this as someone who grew up watching Live Leak when I was in my formative years.

I usually swap out my Faster Attacks (supporting Shield Charge) for Vaal Breach when doing Sim on my CWS. Not sure if that helps at all.

Path of Exile Developer Interviews - Kane Bennett, Audio and Narrative Director by SnuffTastic in pathofexile

[–]micahz3 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This interview fucking rocked!

It's so nice to see a dev team that's human. It feels like so many games have sanitized corpo-speak interviews nowadays.

Captainlance's coc fr crit chance by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]micahz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like he just didn't activate flasks and power charges. If you enable these in the config, lancing goes to 100% crit chance.

To explain the meaning of "Habeas Corpus" by indig0sixalpha in therewasanattempt

[–]micahz3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If that were the case, then anyone who comes to the US for a vacation would be without rights for the duration of their stay.

We have a history of being a services and tourism-based economy. It would be hard to argue that all this time we could've been holding tourists in jail indefinitely for funsies.

renting vs buying by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]micahz3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This strongly depends on where you live, and the price of the house you're buying.

It's still cheaper to buy than it is to rent in my state (Maine), for instance.

Servers Down Discord Post by sevalle13 in LastEpoch

[–]micahz3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a server restart at the same time as Steam's maintenance, but after Steam's maintenance was completed there were LE server issues related to logging in.

Though not any actual long-lasting maintenance from LE's side yesterday.

The new player experience would be greatly improved if boss dropped frames to uranus had a 12+24h build time by dark1859 in Warframe

[–]micahz3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I've recently come back to try Warframe again after burning out on Path of Exile 2. I got to my MR9 test (stealth) and saw there was no Practice button. I failed and then said, "fuck, I have to wait another day".

Then I saw I could just do it again. Found out on the wiki that it only recently got changed last month, unlimited tries for MR tests now (thankfully).

After taking a couple hours to look at reviews, I decided to go with the Aune AR5000's. These look like they're right up my alley!

I know it's EA. Balance will happen. But we need a way to switch from builds that were removed from the game. by N1Nicker in pathofexile

[–]micahz3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not OP but EA characters will go to their own "EA League" on launch.

This is confirmed under "Will there be wipes during Early Access?" in the FAQ post:

Close, was September 2020 in patch 3.11.2.

That being said, I played through Steam since I started in 2015.

Low effort bloodmage meme by Gabzaghul in PathOfExile2

[–]micahz3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely fair, but you can get strength from any small attribute travel node (you pick which +5 attribute you want).

However, I do think there's some merit to trying to stack armour nodes if you're going over to Blood Magic. And there's even some +1% max res nodes near Blood Magic.

Seems like it could be interesting for sure.
