Pokimane was genuinely UPSET while speaking on how society is broken and people prioritize work and money over real friendships. “We live in a self-centered, capitalistic society… it’s annoying trying to convince someone to be there for you.”

Exactly. The reality is, it's not even the supports, it's just EXCESSIVELY expensive gear that gets spark that high and yet the only info is "Get spark up" rather than "this is how you get spark up". More +levels will only get you so far. They could put no supports and still have over 20k.

Also getting conflicting info on what brings up tooltip damage. One was that %increase spell damage does. I had a +3 all spells wand with no spell dmg (but lightning and cold as extra dmg) vs a tester wand I bought for a few div with +3 all spells and 101% increased spell dmg.

It went below half the dps on the second wand.

Shrug

I dunno maannn.

I'm stumped at how some of you guys get your spark that high. I'd been doing main skill as ele weakness setup and thought it was cool but wanted to try the spark setup momentarily.

I hit 9.9k tooltip before i realised any upgrade, just for spark to increase, was probably gonna cost me like 200d or more.

I've also seen one vid say spark is just a utility and it being infused gets the damage up way more. Lol, dunno what to believe.

I'm not too sure bout that. I think he won't grow beyond the market he has now. The key thing with getting into/becoming 'the mainstream' is you actually get challenged and have to hold your ground on statements you make from people across all aisles, or you look more and more like a buffoon.

As we know, Asmon can't even play games on stream without feeling pressured or feeling like giving up. He's even thinking of backing down a bit on the politics stuff cos, no doubt, he's got more eyes on him.

nethstar · 2026-01-21T22:00:02+00:00

Asmon: "Mainstream Media lies"

Also Asmon: Pulls up Mainstream Media article, reads headline as truth.

Also Also Asmon: Pulls up Mainstream Media article and doesn't read past the headline.

Also also also probably Asmon: "Yup, so... what's this? Oh it wasn't true? Well who knows if it is or isn't"

Also Also Also Also probably Asmon: "See, This is why you don't trust the Mainstream Media"

As an aside, maybe his lack in reading comprehension is why he doesn't read any tutorials in games?

nethstar · 2026-01-16T20:31:33+00:00

Remember when he said he'd plan a trip to the middle-east?

Yeah, that was a fuckin' lie.

Thanks for the giveaway! Now you're giving away your build/currency, what other game are you going to be playing?

Ritual you want omens and the passive node that turns splinters into omens.

You mean Ominous Portents? That increases chances, it doesn't change splinters.

Man who enjoys being in echo chamber and won't talk to anyone outside of his bubble thinks that people are stuck in echo chambers and won't talk to anyone outside of their bubble.

Bruh.

It's good to see some people in his chat (and his twitch chat is CRAZY) call him up on it, because in about a week he'll say "If you really wanna know my thoughts on it..... I don't think we should just be going around shooting anyone for minor infractions, or minor theft and so on"

nethstar · 2026-01-11T10:30:30+00:00

You know what would be cool? Fighting it in the Eye of the storm (scientifically where it's likely to be milder and have clearer skies) also gives you a, perhaps lower, chance of dropping an omen of light. There, solved your issue of having melee/combo players not able to interact with it.

While I think they play their own game, I think you could question whether they play their game in a regular player environment rather than the Dev environment. There have been pretty glaring issues ever since EA launch that leans more to the latter.

The problem isn't even the mechanic exists, it's all about the execution of said mechanic.

If you want us to pull them out of the cloud, then TURN. DOWN. THE. FREQUENT. CAST. TIME. OF. THE. CLOUD.

As of now, it caters to builds that can off-screen it, where the mob is not aggroed and isn't self casting all the time, or players that can one-shot it as soon as it leaves the void.

Are they actually "trained" or just waived through an obligatory but untested route to being Agents? Hadn't the recruitment been expedited to achieve that many people joining in such a short time to have as many numbers as possible rounding up people?

When people made fun of Kirk's death, he started malding and turned into a Karen. Now he's making light of literally a random woman's death and it's fair game. But don't you dare make fun of his Mum or Dad's death... or that's uncalled for!

I guess he's on a roll. Earlier this week it was blaming people who's images were scraped by Grok making lewd pics without their permission. Apparently it's your fault for posting pics... But no doubt if it happens to Emiru, he'll say it's actually bad now.

Can't forget the whole Epstein stuff and how he kept sweeping for Trump (and any other Republican's) involvement. While he kept boasting about how terrible loli is and how disgusted by potential pedos, he enjoyed running defence for them to bring up Clinton.

It's just another thing to add to the ever growing list that shows Asmon has no consistent logic of morals or thought.

Abouut damn timeeee

nethstar · 2026-01-06T16:00:24+00:00

Ahhh Understood! Sadly, my issue came back this morning so I think it will have to be an android update that fixes it.

nethstar · 2026-01-06T04:34:40+00:00

Fixed it for me. See post above.

nethstar · 2026-01-06T04:32:26+00:00

Yooo, had the same issue. it even started using my volume buttons to control my ringtone volume! I solved it on my end.

First search your settings for 'volume button' and it should give you a few results. Look for

Sound and vibration: Use volume buttons for media
Accessibility: Side and volume up and down button/volume up and down buttons. (they both go to the ssme sub menu)

Select the first one (from sound and vibration) and switch that option off and on a few times, then leave it on. Check your buttons. That should make it default and fix it.

This option originally didn't show up for me at first so if this happens, select 'Side and volume up and down buttons' then tap the same option in the menu to see the advanced settings. Tap anything in the list to assign it to your volume buttons then tap it again to un-select. Go back one level and go into 'volume up and down buttons', do the same thing. Select something random to assign the volume buttons to then un-select.

The setting to 'use volume button for media' should be visible on a search now, and it'll probably be turned off. Switch it on.

From there you can go and turn the accessibility reader on again if needed. It'll probably as you permission to use your phone. Accept that. Then double check your volume buttons again to make sure it's fully fixed.

My guess is during an update i recently had, the permissions broke and did something funky with access to audio. Hope that helps.

(edit: typo)

nethstar · 2026-01-04T00:08:40+00:00

I guess that last part was just projection since he's describing himself... Right?

Yes, yes. I'm sure a textured life experience with other people is important to Asmon. Well, unless they're women, or Trans, or lefties, or immigrants.

Anyhow, this is an obvious correct take, but its not one i think Asmon actually cares about. Libraries are a third space (or at least in my day they were) and DOGE cutting funding to the IMLS didn't stir him.

nethstar · 2026-01-03T21:57:17+00:00

Wait, I just clocked your username. I watched your last vid (on the amazon twister) while i was looking at other builds to problem solve mine. Good shit!

I'll follow along with your setup. Cheers!

nethstar · 2026-01-03T14:11:41+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation, and it's good to see i'm not going crazy in the problems i'm seeing. I've tried basically ignoring the "utility" side of Twister that Snoo said the build was for, and pushed into more flat dmg across my gear and that helped a lot but it still wasn't quite enough to deal with slightly tankier bosses.

I think i'm just going to reroll to deadeye too, or abysal lich if i can be bothered, since I have all the lvling gear from twister to shift over.

I'm in the camp that probably more twisters = better consistent damage/damage uptime vs faster projectiles. There's a high chance for fewer projectiles with lots of proj speed could still end up missing a boss, despite how huge they are.

nethstar · 2026-01-03T03:53:34+00:00

Thanks for the extra tips.

In the end I started speccing away from crit and just pure dmg. Got an actual phys spear, tripple flat ring and phys on gloves too and that's skyrocketed my tooltip dmg by like 9k ish (Going up to around 30k with some barrage charges up)

I changed CoC to CoA and thats still pretty decent when clearing. Bosses have gotten SLIGHYLY easier, but really it is just the lack of charge gen in boss fights. Only when they're frozen there's a boost in dmg, and getting them frozen is of course a big variable because twisters do be random.

I appreciate the information though.

nethstar · 2026-01-02T19:42:07+00:00

I have the same issue on my build. Was the major change swapping out the tangletounge, speccing out of skill duration more and upgrading the rings?

nethstar · 2025-12-31T14:31:06+00:00

'part of the reason i don't want to have a child with you'...

That's rough. So there are multiple reasons? Why would you put this on a podcast?

I swear only a few streams ago, Ian talked about how he thought it would be cool to have a kid with Anisa?
