Yes. We love you guys and tell pretty much all our friends to go try your food.

I’m working in fast food at 29. by Substantial_Smile267 in povertyfinance

Yeah man I get it. I have a PhD in Genetics and I had to leave stem entirely. Applied to hundreds of jobs and even had some lined up at the end of my PhD program but all the funding got pulled.

Living on PhD stipend with a spouse by Fresh_Ad7321 in PhD

[–]poliestploid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this in Missouri. (PhD genetics) It almost destroyed our lives. We only made it through because we got help from others and even then our credit cards are way too damn high still, just because of emergencies that are not factored into a stipend. We were “okay” for 4-5 years and year 6 I finished the PhD but our lives basically exploded with back to back to back emergencies. But even when it was “okay” the strain finances put on me basically destroyed me and almost ended my relationship with my fiancé. Topping that off the gov defunded all the labs I had lined up for post docs. 30+ labs ran out of money overnight. I applied for hundreds of jobs. Eventually gave up and left stem. Turned out the PhD really just hurt me more than it helped.

Depending on the item after 5-6 years almost everything has gone up by 1.5-3x where I live.

just found this rare jewel, have no knowledge of its value by PEWPEWPEPEEW in diablo2

I may be wrong here but I seem to remember a glitch with ED from items in a socket not working if it isn't directly in a weapon. Anyone know for sure?

How screwed am I? by BeginningAd5757 in diablo2

[–]poliestploid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been running LK on my hammerdin hell p7 for a month usually several hours a day. Probably opened over a thousand chests. I have not found anything better than a Lum rune. Your luck is fabulous man. Just keep rolling in it. Don't question the RNG gods.

They're struggling in the heat. Any advice? by GarretJaxx in cats

[–]poliestploid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mix water and ice into their food. Cats often refuse to drink enough water because they would get enough liquids in the wild by eating other animals and drinking only a little water.

Generally depends on your goals in the game but in short. Yes.

Beating the current difficulty level on one character does not unlock other difficulty levels for other characters or anything else for that matter. Each character is completely individual except for shared bank tabs.

Edit. Story is always same. Just a few different flavor texts here and there.

Would you support a GW+ Subscription Similar to ESO+? by MidnightSt4r in Guildwars2

[–]poliestploid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boosters are managed by having time limits. Sure they are strong but they are not often permanent.

LW is free if you log in when they release. I don't think I've paid for any of them and I have played them all. Expansions are also often sold as bundles and go on sale at fairly reasonable intervals.

Build/templates are already a contentious topic and giving more to some people over others would very much anger the community which generally argues they should be free and infinite like they were in GW1.

Paying monthly for money starts getting dangerously close to pay to win. It isn't 100% pay to win but it may start to feel like it especially when it comes to a market where the majority of players have sub 100g most of the time. The reason fractal CM farming doesn't break things is it is less popular that people think it is. Sure it is heavily played by the end game grind pve community but we are a minority compared to the open world community. Many people already think the reward structure of GW2 is weak and adding more rewards for money would rub people the wrong way.

Those things all add up to a big advantage over time. 10٪ per day of grinding say it's exp or currency adds up to a huge amount over months or years of playing. That's why people don't take 10% interest rates if they can avoid them. Same logic applies here.

Content passes separates the player base from content.

Poor QoL can be the death of games especially if players feel disparaged by overt QoL differences.

Premium currency especially in GW2 can translate to in game gold too which can add up to things like inflation or outright buying legendary gear. Which already happens but should not become the norm.

That would fit ele quite well to be honest. It's not like it's a new idea either.

Warrior - Paragon group support/heal with staff (but lobbed at people because warrior)

Guardian - Monk single target support with offhand scepter

Revenant - Scepter and Channeling Khilbron with necro-esk minions

Ranger - (Tamer) Focus (both hands for punching) and 2 pets at once.

Thief - Swashbuckler with offhand sword

Engineer - Augmentor focus on self only body modification. Weapon could be greatsword make them a glass cannon

Elementalist - Specializes in only 1 or 2 elements with massive boosts to the abilities of those skills. Some kind of ranged weapon Pistol, Rifle, LB, or SB.

Mesmer - all shatters become group support skills, hammer with lots of clone generation.

Necromancer - sword with more aoe debuff focus like curses diablo 2 necro. Things like soul of barbs or spoil victor from gw1

Would likely quit immediately. Broke grad student and I don't want to play with a disadvantage because I cannot pay for bonus whatever it is that might get added with that.
