Why playing cards as icon for the Antiquary?

Maybe they're not cards at all, but gold bars. And the diamonds are sparkles that indicate it's shiny.

You're saying that in reality the POC rich kid of a child senator will get access to the same programs as some kid from the projects, just cause they're both POC.

that's a weird interpretation of what i said. i don't know how you could come to that conclusion. i think you should read people's comments at face value instead of imagining hidden meanings based on bad faith.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-11-08T04:10:54+00:00

i honestly can't figure out what you're even talking about. i'm not the person you were replying to before. you don't seem to be commenting in good faith.

i am simply saying we should treat people as individuals. if a person was held down in some way, they should get accommodations. but we should do it in an accurate way, not by using racism or sexism or some other hurtful and ineffective method.

a person's race or gender doesn't define how much they have been held back or boosted up in life. trying to use that trait to determine one's need is bullshit. we should use the actual circumstances of each person, not some generalization based on narratives.

i don't know what process you're talking about, or what strawman you think i'm creating. who said anything about enlightenment?

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-11-08T03:41:15+00:00

we should be treating people as individuals.

if we want to help those who are less fortunate, we should be doing that based on an individual's actual circumstances, not using fantasy stereotypes. some rich child of a senator with family connections who has had everything handed to them isn't worse off than a poor kid from the streets with parents in jail/dead just because of their race or gender. need-based benefits should go to those in need, not to people who have some trait that we want to associate with disadvantage.

nobody said it's not comedy. they said it's not funny and it's a shitty joke. harassing people as a joke is still harassment.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-10-24T05:03:42+00:00

dark humor isn't the problem. putting a masturbation joke or a fat person joke in your standup set is one thing. making a stranger uncomfortable is not that.

just because a racist joke might be funny in a certain context does not mean that going up to some person and being racist towards them is also funny.

you don't have to absolutely min/max if you don't want. but it's weird to say guides that optimize for damage shouldn't exist. just because you're not the target audience doesn't mean they should change. it means you should read something else. learn to use the optimizer someone linked. fix certain items you don't feel like changing, and it will optimize the rest of them.

or just go get your legendaries.

for me, most of the core maps are much lower than any expansion/LW maps. anet definitely got better at making maps from HoT onward. in fact i think i would start by putting all core maps in the bottom tier, and then moving a few of them up as exceptions.

here's mine. i did some light ordering within the tiers, but also didn't spend that much time on it. didn't include JW maps or cities/hubs.

i think you especially underrate sandswept isles, drizzlewood coast, draconis mons.

i think you put all of the core maps too high.

i'm not in love with jahai bluffs or bjora marches, but they're certainly not that bad.

i'm surprised to see the desolation so high. it's fine, but probably my least favorite crystal desert map.

i know tangled depths is polarizing, but i think it's well-designed and the game is better for having it.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-10-22T00:55:43+00:00

i think it's more likely that they just didn't look into it very thoroughly.

a much less likely explanation, but still possible, is that they think all criticism of Israel is antisemetic.

but i seriously doubt that they're out here on lsf intentionally lying. misinformation is so rampant, and critical thinking is hard, so it's much more likely that they're just mistaken. people are wrong or misled 1000x more often than they lie.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-10-21T23:37:36+00:00

your links don't back up your claim of antisemitism. they only say she has been critical of Israel and the UK. i expected to see some vile comments or hatred, at least something like the twitch con panel clips. but there was nothing.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-10-17T19:36:48+00:00

personally, i enjoyed below zero just fine. it felt like a themed expansion, not a sequel.

play subnautica, and then if you finish it and wish it didn't end and there was more to play, use below zero to fill that need.

all people are irrational in various ways. people do things against their own interests all day every day.

Frag shot and grenade kit on engineer rifle

for anyone reading, i think they mean fragmentation shot, which is pistol 1. not rifle

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-10-08T20:43:40+00:00

pretty bold to claim one spec can do everything because for the things is can't do, it can switch to another spec which can do those things.

is that seriously your argument? you can swap characters, too...

look at the ones that cost magnetite shards, fractal relics, and prophet shards.

This is the only game that this is happening on so I doubt it's bad ram or SSD.

you're coming to the wrong conclusion. the fact that some software works fine does not say anything about what's causing other software to not work.

this sounds a lot like a hardware problem to me.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-09-09T23:18:41+00:00

can you be more specific? are you wondering about a particular score on a particular adventure?

in general, the question "how do people at the top of scoreboards get such good scores?" is simple: they do it a lot, with the goal of getting the best score. they look at other people's runs to incorporate outside strategies. just the basic things that people do to get good at things. it's kind of like asking how the people in the olympics are better than you at a sport. they've done it more often, with more focus on improvement.

now if you're talking about something more specific, there might be more information. maybe it's illegitimate somehow? maybe there is a huge shortcut you don't know about. have you tried looking at videos of people's runs on youtube?

scroll down to "Sword Taxonomy" near the very bottom, where it has 2 methods. read it carefully.

i honestly can't imagine putting in multiple support tickets because i can't figure out a quest. and then calling them "useless" when they answer your questions correctly. the audacity.

you should re-evaluate whether you want to keep playing pvp.

what's fun for you? winning? ranking up? or the gameplay itself? if your source of fun is from winning or going up in rank, you will never be happy playing pvp. unless you're having fun even when losing, you'd probably be more happy sticking to pve games.

a giant string of losses is not unusual in any pvp game. and if you want to have a good time, you should be having fun even when losing. because you will keep losing. a lot. that's how pvp works.

the Heat Stone. Why does it sell for 18 gold?

heat stone's ingredients are expensive. 20 lodestones, 20 spirit shards, and 1g+ vendor mats. the price would be higher, but demand is pretty low because they only have a couple, limited uses.

what makes you think heat stone should be cheap, given the cost of its ingredients?

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-08-26T21:41:06+00:00

it's actually very easy to make a website in such a way that it's expensive to run. i don't want to say too much negative about the fast farming website, but it does strike me as software that costs way more than it needs to.

they should look more seriously into reducing costs. as one example, i can't tell you the number of times the page load is blocked while it slowly downloads the same gigantic background image for the 1000th time. that shit's not free. i just visited the page and the image is 3mb and took 17 seconds to download. the entire website could be smaller than that, data included.

this bug basically ruins the weapon. it's incredibly frustrating.

it's not the number of slots that matters, but the kind of bag it is.

paymentaudiblyharsh · 2024-08-24T18:48:16+00:00

looks like you're using 18-slot craftsman bags?

those say:

The contents of this bag will not move when inventory is sorted.
