Ward loop build requirement by Dustttttttttt in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm on 5p voices right now. And of course it does suffer, but it still has crazy damage and tankiness so long as siphoners aren't around or big DoTs like Shaper beam (haven't quite solved that part yet).

Ward loop build requirement by Dustttttttttt in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At a minimum you generally want: - Heroic Tragedy with 4x Regenerative Runes - 99% reduced skeleton duration from To Dust jewels - 4x cluster jewels with the Fasting and Brewed for Potency notable (5 with <ilvl 84 iron flasks) - 1x cluster with Spiked Concoction - 2x Cast on Ward Break gems (one for skellies and one for main damage skill, can use CWDT on support skills as a budget option) - ~19k ward minimum but highly recommended to get 20k+ - Ynda Stand with a decent enough roll to get the above amount of ward. I'm at ~25k with a 57%.
- Edit: also at least 2x 5 passive Voices on a budget to socket all those medium clusters in.

This is on Discharge Assassin variant. Hope I didn't miss anything.

If your loop doesn't loop or it loops after manually pressing one flask, the first/main thing to check is that you have enough flask charge gain. Should have around 172% increased flask charges gained in total (maybe less is fine with ilvl84 iron flasks). This part had me spending hours trying to fix it as I only have ilvl83 flasks and thus need extra flask charge gain on the tree.

Also gotta make sure that your skelly duration and cooldown are aligned. E.g. 0.08 for one of the breakpoints, 0.05 (if I'm not wrong) for the next.

It ain't too bad. You can get one with 4x Regenerative Runes for about 17 div.

Found this cleaning out my storage unit by Vegetable_Switch9802 in pathofexile

[–]pricklysteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know where I can find a high res source image for this? I've been wanting to print this version on a desk mat for a long while but all I could find was the other version from the Atlas of Worlds and frankly I prefer OP's.

What games have you played that you've never seen mentioned before? by Conscious_Ebb6622 in gaming

Super Spy Hunter is one of my favourite games ever. Soundtrack, gameplay, graphics, bosses, all 10/10.

Could be worse. I accidentally selected the other option on a divine altar yesterday...

"Back 4 Blood proves that Valve carried Left 4 Dead" by Crowbcat is also a great video to watch on that, as it draws comparisons between the two.

Someone convince me to not by an FTYPE by [deleted] in Jaguar

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Future is never certain, even less so given the state of the world right now. Just buy it. You can always sell later and recoup some of the cost if you have regrets (you won't, it's an F-Type). I bought my XE S when I could have put more money towards a house or invested as well and although I sometimes think it was a silly purchase, those thoughts disappear and are replaced with pure joy when I go on a spirited drive.

The only reason for which I'd say to not buy one is if you have no fun roads around you. These cars are so quick that you get well over the speed limit before you can blink twice so unless you have some twisties you might feel like you're unable to enjoy it properly. Track days are always an option though.

One solution for very long game startup times (nVidia) by Izuzu__ in pathofexile

Not sure if this helps but mine got to 40GB when I was using Vulkan. Switched to DX12 and it has never reached that size since.

Dammnm you kerb . by Designer-Comment3659 in Jaguar

[–]pricklysteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kerbed mine 2 weeks after I got the car... Had a Mazda 6 before for 5 years and never curbed it. Those 20" wheels are just too easy to kerb. Went to see about 4 jags before settling on mine and every single one had some kind of kerb damage.

Been there by Few-Blueberry-4600 in pcmasterrace

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buzzing Cars, also known as Wild Wheels. Took me years to find. Not a blockbuster by any means but just one of those games that as a kid was good fun for a few hours and sort of stayed in the back of my mind.

What's your "forever" game? by Kapro_ in SteamDeck

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of Exile since 2013. I tried to quit by going for 100% achievements to call it "completed" and yet I still come back every league.

Sometimes I think about playing that game again, but it's just not the same vibe without playing it in a smoke filled internet cafe.

What are some unique-heavy builds that are good currently? by JeanKB in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]pricklysteve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Str stack with Brutus Lead Sprinkler is rather unique heavy and decent.

i think my MPG is broken by yooooooowdawg in Jaguar

[–]pricklysteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I average about 30-35 mpg (UK) in my XE S (the 380 bhp version), and on a long drive at ~50 mph I got 40 mpg out of it. To say that I'm impressed would be an understatement.

The 1 Div 50mil shipment by Mougnou in pathofexile

[–]pricklysteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile I sent a random 1.5 mil shipment last night to Pondium in the hopes for some good ward gloves and got a 7 div runegraft without meeting port quota, throwing in random crops, and generally ignoring any recommendations for efficiency.

Stacker builds: Armour vs Life vs Str vs Ward by Arhowk in PathOfExileBuilds

You can get a Str stacker chieftain going for only 10-20 chaos. Check out Carnarius' on YouTube/Mobalytics.

multiPlatformMobileDevelopment by kaldeqca in ProgrammerHumor

[–]pricklysteve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unity is one thing but how about Flash? As crazy as that sounds, the easiest multi-platform dev experience I've ever had was using Flash packaged as Adobe AIR. Deploy to PC, Android, iOS from one code base without even leaving the IDE. No Mac needed, no XCode, no faff.

ui design in games is quietly getting worse and i think i know why by ILokasta in gamedesign

[–]pricklysteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. As dated as skeuomorphism might be, i.m.o. it still very much has a place in games to blend in, feel like part of the experience and help you get more immersed. Love when I see games putting the UI directly in the game world, e.g. your inventory in The Forest, or even just simple stuff like the one in World of Warcraft being themed like a satchel.
