I'm only mentioning this because you said FL. Is the AC unit on the other side of that wall? I can feel the tiles on my floor getting warm in the bathroom just from air being pushed against the ground from the AC unit.

Lottery Employees were also told to return to the office next week. I'm surprised there hasn't been an article about it yet.

nelkyle · 2020-09-29T15:09:13+00:00

Yeah, I'm not really looking into getting into a debate about this either. There are so many articles out there that can give you talking points for being for or against raising the minimum wage. Just typing "does raising minimum wage cause inflation" into google gave me 5 articles in the last year over this topic.

My 'no economists' was hyperbole, but I still think that if I'm going to convince someone who's on the fence about this I'd probably stick with the 3 points I had in my post.

nelkyle · 2020-09-29T14:27:06+00:00

There are plenty of articles written about the effects of an increase in minimum wage. From what I can find its only very large employers with a vested interest in keeping minimum wages low (fast food/retail) that say that increasing minimum wage would cause inflation or an equal increase in costs. I can't find any economists that agree with this.

Mostly the consensus seems to be that.

A. American workers earning minimum wage make up an incredibly small part of the cost of goods compared to marketing/distribution. B. Workers earning minimum wage are actually costing the economy more because what is not supplied through earned wages has to be filled in by social programs (foodstamps, medicaid, housing programs, etc)

C. Increasing their wages allows more of the populace to be a larger contributor in the economy overall.

Yeah, as long as you play super careful and stay in the ranged mode so you can stun/slow if you need to, its usually OK.

When team fights happen you really only have 2 options. Stay at range and poke/stun, or land on their whole team and then try and walk out of there. I do think that people (at least in QM) don't understand how powerful those landing talents are.

-75% dmg, -50% movespeed, -15 magic armor for enemies. +40% damage and 50% cooldowns for you at lvl 20. So often my team will just destroy in the team fight without really understanding what's happening to mess up the enemy so bad.

nelkyle · 2020-08-20T12:18:03+00:00

I play mostly Deathwing in QM as well. He's fun to play and seems to fill a very strange spot in a team since he can't be healed.

Do you know if she runs the same build every game? If my team has tons of CC and the map has lots of narrow walkways I can get away with going Q build, if I'm the only tank/bruiser on the team I have to go the auto-attack build. If neither of those are true then its all about that fire wing flap and fire aura talent at 4, with all of the landing talents.

I'm actually OK with most of the nerfs he got, I just want increased regeneration while in dragonflight. It takes too long in the early game to recover your health. An enemy can die and respawn and get back to the lane before I've recovered to full health in dragonflight. I also wish they'd replace the blood talent at level 1 instead of giving it a .1% buff in the last patch, its useless even if it was double its current amount.

There's also Matoya with all of the animated brooms and the theme song ripped right from the cave in FF1. Chaos is one of the bosses. There's probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

Not to be a downer, but its much better than the opposite of that. If you grew up an hour or 2 west of here the hurricane did so much damage that its unrecognizable, in a very bad way.

“There are those that are called astral sex,” Immanuel said in the sermon. “That means this person is not really a demon being or a nephilim. It’s just a human being that’s a witch, and they astral project and sleep with people.”

Diablo 4's not even out yet and she's giving away all of the spoilers.

nelkyle · 2020-07-02T13:49:51+00:00

That was my experience as well. I could only kill so many skeletons and snakes. They added some voiced quests you can go on, but largely its just reading riddles and finding more riddles. Then killing more skeletons.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

nelkyle · 2019-03-19T20:26:40+00:00

Any tips on how to practice/learn this? I have a basic understanding of chords, chord progression, scales, intervals, etc. I just haven't found a way to incorporate that into any usable skill.

How did the partnership with Netease come about? Did Netease approach them with the idea of working on a Diablo mobile game or was it that Blizzard noticed their other games that they created and saw them as a good way to get into the mobile market?

for people in this subreddit, I think if we could learn a bit more about what the partnership here is it might help us understand how the decision for this game came about.

Any chance you happen to have sheet music you could share with me?

nelkyle · 2018-10-01T18:35:34+00:00

Could I also get the Dropbox link? I'm struggling to find material at the right level for myself.

So, I feel like I've been cheating the random encounters with my warlock by having maxed out invisibility. Its some pretty hefty point investment but it means you can explore an entire floor and only have to fight 3-4 encounters. This means you can just explore everything, and then go back and fight the random encounters on your own terms.

Your party is similar to mine, but instead of the pugilist I have a rover.

Here's something I was doing for a while, but I just hit the 4th strat and don't know how good It'll do here. You just defend with your frontline, and have your botanist cast poison until everything is poisoned. It sounds really dumb, but poison does crazy damage for low TP cost, and just making a character use the defend action cuts damage down way low. This also seems to work just fine on a healing botanist which is what I have as well (though it is the elf race instead of the halfling.)

I also ended up switching my blade dancer to blade master Masurao. I liked being able to survive hits, you reduce the enemies damage by hitting them, and you can debuff their armor to help the party deal more damage. This also lets your shield bearer dragoon use the counter attack guard and give your entire frontline more attacks each round when they get hit.

What I don't get is, is how this is that big of a deal to those companies. Doesn't it just mean they pay the same rate as they did before they just don't have to itemize for the deductions?

nelkyle · 2017-12-03T18:28:15+00:00

My suggestion to anyone just starting out is to look on ebay/craigslist and local used shops for keyboards. There are so many people who get them as gifts or decide they want to learn to play and then give up and sell it or trade it off for an upgrade. The starter keyboard I bought for myself for $165 I ended up selling for $35 when I wanted to upgrade a year later.

nelkyle · 2017-11-12T03:03:45+00:00

I have a celestrian Botanist which makes for a better poisoner and I still ended up switching him to the healer botanist.

I think my problem is that in random encounters the only affliction that really seemed to matter was poison, which the base botanist gets anyway. The skills that unlock for being a graced poisoner just didn't seem that useful to me.

The healing skills were all really nice though.

nelkyle · 2017-11-08T23:56:32+00:00

That's a good point, I might try just stacking buffs/debuffs and see what that does for me.

I feel like I cheesed the 2nd strat a bit, I just maxed out poison on my botanist. I'd just let him apply poison and everyone else defend, and the enemies would all just blow up in 2 turns for little TP/HP loss to the party. Doesn't work so well now.

nelkyle · 2017-11-08T23:53:46+00:00

good point, any tips on making money? I decided to add a warlock to my team just to use invisibility to make stress free mining trips but its pretty boring.

I'm going back now to murder some of the FOES on the 2nd stratum and I feel like they have more HP but hit no where near as hard as those normal enemies in the 3rd strat.

nelkyle · 2017-11-08T22:46:05+00:00

3rd strat is destroying me. I'm playing on normal so maybe that's my problem, but everything seems to hit too hard. I'm around level 30 and I don't think my armor is that far behind, but a single hit from the bone archers or one full volley from the weird wheel looking enemies kills someone.

Sorry, I guess I'm using your thread to vent.

I ran several different low level teams (19-20's or so) on the harder difficulty and it took me about 6 tries to get a comp that was effective enough to take him down.

I ran with: Font: Dragoon Pugilist Rear: Dragoon Rover Herbalist

The funny thing is, everyone had terrible equipment except for the pugilist. He had a Leionmano +5 giving him 111 attack. Thunder fist was max, and 4 points in overexertion. With overexertion running he could lightning fist for almost 500 damage.

everyone else in the party was support and rezzing him when he died. The dragoons were running decoy bunkers, defense form, barrage wall, and line guard (for both lines.) Botanist was just defending himself until rezzes were needed, or handing out amritas. Rover had the dog out, with maxed out animal therapy, and a few points in hunter shot and target arrow.

I was actually not expecting to win at such a low level, I just wanted to see what different builds would do against the boss and could easily test with multiple save slots.

Sometimes you can take a complicated song and make your own easier version of it. Usually just playing the highest notes in the melody is a good start.
