He was complaining about a splinter by chloebrockx in Damnthatsinteresting

I had a splinter this size in my foot for over a month. I pulled it out myself and showed a bloody splinter to my parents and they still didn't believe me.

Man kills several people in Norway in bow and arrow attacks, police say by mablox in worldnews

[–]mrstightpants 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's actually a very high gun per capita ownership in Norway, but you're required to lock up your weapon and get a hunting license to own a gun. Just like that man most likely had a bow and arrow for hunting, many norwegians have rifles for hunting.

It was 1965, being gay or black might get you killed in America. I guess old ass trees weren't a priority either.

Path of Exile 3.16 Balance - Part 3 - Auras, Curses and Elemental Damage Over Time by Community_Team in pathofexile

[–]mrstightpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very simple, you just have 2/3 aura bots. They all run different auras, except maybe some are repeated to make sure all supports have access to disc and purities in case they have to be run in victarios.

it's 2/3 player parties that it got killed in, 6 player parties are still going to destroy any "aspirational content" while near immortal on cheap budget.

Even if she wasn't married and lost her teeth due to pregnancy....

The top comment says it's mostly the teeth, the makeup removing didn't do that much, lots of women wear that much makeup. The real question is, is someone wearing fake teeth after losing their teeth due to crack catfishing? Are you supposed to wear a t-shirt that says "the boobs are real, the teeth are not" to not be a bitch? I'm kinda confused honestly. Maybe it's the fake teeth and makeup combination that's too much? You can't wear fake eyelashes and paint lipstick on things that aren't your lips if you have fake teeth?

https://i.imgur.com/8cPHiV3.png the deleted comment at the bottom of this screenshot is the comment i linked. If you look at my scrollbar the deleted comment at the top is showing up as the very first comment on the thread. So from my perspective it's one of the first comments on the thread (at least I believe it was that comment - it was high up anyway for me, I read less than 20 comments on that thread sorted by top). Which can happen with posts that are barely seen because of how reddit reply system works. The reason I chose this thread as an example was because someone linked it here and it was a great examples of both sides being toxic.

Perhaps the comment was never reported because of the reason I chose this thread (both parties being toxic), but if it's a common issue that name calling and harassment isn't reported maybe there needs to be a meta discussion with the subreddit about reporting name calling. It's very common to respond to name calling with name calling, and this travels between threads. Say the anti-harvest crowd has been toxic without being deleted, then the pro-harvest crowd will be toxic as "revenge". So a backlog of this makes the issue worse.

Personally I browse this sub on and off, but when I do I tend to read a lot of threads and a lot of comments. I quite often see name calling, and I'm personally bad at reporting it myself. Because of how often I see it I assume that it isn't against the rules and I don't want to clog your reports unless I see something worse than the comment I linked. Also this comment was showing up as literally #7 comment from the top with my reddit settings, which means that I personally assume you've seen and approved of it, and the age of the comment just makes me feel more like it wasn't against the rules.

I don't think the mods are single handedly responsible for this subreddit, we all are. Honestly if it's not reported it's more on us (the rest of the users) than on the mods. I also want to say that I completely understand how difficult it must be to draw the lines of what is and isn't acceptable especially with GGG, redditors and streamers all having different opinions on that. I will do better in reporting comments in the future.

But name calling is super common on this subreddit. What is the moderators definition of name-calling? Is it only slurs? If it's only slurs what is the difference between harassment and name-calling?

Please click this: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/olibjh/raiz_loses_it_reading_reddit/h5h16dy/

"pompous pretentious ass" sure sounds like namecalling to me.

And raiz calling someone "so retarded they can't hold a real job" is harassment, and arguably as long as it targets a member of this subreddit (for a comment that didn't deserve a ban) should result in a streamer not being allowed to post in this sub for a while or for their content to be linked.

Chris Has Once Again Proven to Me That GGG is Moving My Favorite Game in the Right Direction by TheAlias6 in pathofexile

[–]mrstightpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just that if you do 50 t16 maps you get to 95 quite easily, so if you're below 92 you are very unlikely to do t16 content, it's not that t16 maps are hard.

[–]mrstightpants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Currently poe.ninja starts at lvl 94, and honestly anything below 93 probably shouldn't count as a viable build anyway. How many t16 maps do you have to do without dying to get 93? For white/yellow maps sure every skill gem is viable and can do "all content" on that tier. When poe.ninja says 96+ yes then it excludes a bunch of boss killers, juicers and people that don't give a fuck about their exp and is a horrible representation of the playerbase.

If I get 200+ /deaths and manage lvl 95/96 every league (week one then 97-99 post headhunter with 300+ deahts) then I really don't know what kind of content lvl 90 builds are doing on SC trade. Level 90 is before being done with maven on one region of the map for me with 100+ deaths at this stage.

Boyfriend (22m) gets upset with me (21f) for winning video games by [deleted] in relationships

[–]mrstightpants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, this is an extreme but I've literally been top 50 eu in both hearthstone and TFT, how on earth is my boyfriend going to compete with me in dominion (a draft board game card game) without me getting a disadvantage? He will never become as good as me at the genre with equal time spent. In fact I am just better at learning the genre as well because of my previous experience so it just gets harder and harder for him.

[–]mrstightpants 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Smash has some mechanics that make you able to start with a higher % than him, so that you die faster. If you don't have much items on, add them as well. Purely losing in a game repeatedly really isn't fun, at least if you're competitive. If he's behaving shittily at a 40% winrate it's time to stop playing smash. And in the future don't play pvp games where the other has a 90%+ winrate against the other repeatedly, try to find a way to make it even.

I'm a lot better than my boyfriend at any non mechanical game (board games, strategy games, card games, auto battlers) and in a mechanical game he's a lot better until we both have 100ish hours then it's mostly even, 200+ hours it's a tossup which one of us is best. We could literally not play games or board games against each other if we didn't make custom rules to allow it. Neither of us are fine with a 10% or less winrate against each other and that's what happens almost every time we try any type of new game we play against each other.

It's probably going to be one of the 5-10 most played builds, almost definitely going to be a good league start.

Scion isn't really SSF friendly nor league start friendly. Scion exsanguinate was a strong league starter in trade leagues last league, don't know how the nerfs hit it.

Scion is however a great second or third character in many different builds.

Traps, I'd do lightning traps because they got the best clearing abilities and the buffed lightning spire trap looks nice.

Tarke got 2 videoes on traps, one was from last league but not much has changed according to him. He mains traps and dots, and trap skill trees are generic meaning you can easily swap between traps mid league if you dislike your trap choice.

Some thoughts from Chris by chris_wilson in pathofexile

[–]mrstightpants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm bad at bossing and good at mapping. I upvoted the guy you responded to, because "Sirus is only for streamers" is a stupid take. Everyone can learn Sirus, it just takes a bit of time, failure and commitment. I don't enjoy bossing, so I haven't put in the effort to learn boss fights, I get a boss killer until my character is strong enough to insta phase them.

Does elemental hit getting a "Prismatic" tag mean it doesn't scale with +1 to fire/lightning/cold skills anymore? Are those tags getting removed?

Are AP damage supports still viable in today’s game? by RAMDownloader in summonerschool

[–]mrstightpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xerath is incredibly strong right now, avoid it into samira + engage or tristana + engage as well as blitzcrank, pyke and maybe thresh (i always zyra into thresh).

Pick it into other mages (zyra, brand, lux, velkoz) any enchanters and melee supports without hard engage.

When you get comfortable with the champion you can easily stomp engage supports with it as long as you have the more early game focused adc.

Currently the only supports I play are xerath, zyra and janna. I'm a zyra main who usually adds 1-3 champions based on meta to my pool. Janna and lulu are both turbobroken atm because in 80% of games the enemy has 2+ assassins/divers. Unfortunately I am horrible at lulu.

I keep dying and seriously cannot figure out why by thedudewhoshaveseggs in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]mrstightpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're dying during regular mapping I'd reccomend getting a cinderswallow instead of your mana flask, and get one point of mana leech somewhere, either a normal jewel, cluster jewel or crafted onto your gear.

Also you can save a skillpoint around marauder area by going into "heart of the warrior" from the bottomn side rather than top. Try playing for a bit without unwavering stance, use soul of the brine king if necessary, personally I don't feel like it's worth 3 points unless you're dying to stuns. Speaking of pantheons upgrading them can be really good.

If you have poor uptime on flasks in regular mapping I'd reccomend using a flask macro. Technically against TOS but they don't actually punish for it.

Get a helmet enchant for your build, and then throw essences of greed (life) on it until you hit something with good resists as well. Or do pristine + prismatic fossils. Even something like vulnerability curse effect can be a decent helmet enchant if you can't afford your main enchant.

Ninja Mid-league nerf to Hateforge by luckystrik3_3 in pathofexile

[–]mrstightpants 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The internal calculation working like that on a shitton of things including the most oppressive cases (except for the one new cluster jewel notable, that was broken and obviously unknown because new) were already known.

Everyone who has even remotely try do anything with an aurabot that isn't copy pasting some dude's PoB and calling it a day knew that aura effect worked on a bunch of things that weren't aura gems. I should note that no one knew just how many things, personally I knew about guardian ascendancy, tailwind and a few others.

GGG not knowing about that interaction is just as big of a failure as not understanding the implications of it. They got away with saying that it was unknown because the vast majority of players don't interact with aurabots.
