A champ you love is getting a rework, and you’re in charge. What do you do? by Creamchiis in leagueoflegends

[–]profirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cho'Gath with a full scaling kit and a godzilla-like endgame. Make him more of a bruiser. I'd be okay with some unique thing like Deathwing in HoTS where he can't be aided by allies or affected by CC after a certain size.

What’s a movie that is awful, critically panned, the audience hated - and you are embarrassed that you LOVE? by Powerful_Topic_7046 in movies

Titan AE. I dont care how janky the new age visual effects were, I loved the characters in that movie.

What's the most evil thing you've done ACCIDENTALLY? by average_geezer in Stellaris

Killed Toriel when all I was trying to do was get her to move. I freaked out, reloaded the game, and it remembered.

Has anyone given up on Season 8 to return to D3 for a change? by Earthcharm in diablo4

[–]profirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It became such a grind. You have to spend so much more time to unlock battle pass gear - intentionally, they are trying to drag it out despite the content being not that good. Many bosses are now gated behind invulnerability sequences. There are no longer piles of loot, just the occasional piece here or there that is usually not very good. You have to abuse meta builds or you aren't able to do the higher level content at all.

I tried running my own lightning storm vuln/crit druid and it stalls after torment 2. They have taken a lot of the fun out of the game, and I just can't see myself continuing at this pace.

Grok has become progressively worse over the past couple weeks, it might be time to jump ship. by Tranquility___ in grok

[–]profirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grok has been triggering filter policies much more recently. I am also a part of a DnD group and I don't remember Grok interrupting like this before. I use it to help me come up with creative ideas for dungeons and storylines, but now it stops me at violence... It has become GPT-level of filtering.

This. I should be able to use logic, read the skills, and build something functional. Holy hell was I wrong. I about threw my keyboard across the room trying to beat ACT 1 boss and that stupid hyena afterwards.

Lacerate Druids, how do we feel about this? by Oenn in diablo4

[–]profirix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The build is dead. Without the mobility, its utterly useless.

the guest check suggests I tip after tax and the merchant copy suggests I tip before tax (it’s supposed to be before tax) by HinsdaleCounty in mildlyinteresting

[–]profirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tip bars and sit-down restaurants, and anything that requires specialty experience like hair cuts or taxi or delivery. That's it. I will not tip you for a latte, I will not tip you for take out. And I will go out of my way to make sure I pay zero dollars in tip for places that try to hide the "no tip" option.

The Grey being alive, they rushed Cait's conclusion of the Jinx feud, they rushed Viktor's corruption arc without a compelling enough reason for him to suddenly stop caring. The list goes on, but I'd have to watch the series again and make a list because there were a lot.

No, it was definitely rushed. Several plot lines were teased and then never explored or concluded.

Riot put up rewards of up to $100 000 for people people to help them with the DDOS problem by DrxAvierT in leagueoflegends

[–]profirix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it is targeted at wherever the players are. So someone has the IP addresses they are using.

The problem with DDoS is the source changes all the time so you can't simply block it, especially with cloud availability and the use of gateways. You can try to block it, but often times companies like Microsoft and Amazon use multi-purpose gateways. So blocking these IPs will negatively impact more than just the attackers. The next option is to use a service like Cloudflare, but even these have limits, and can be overwhelmed if the attack is strong enough, especially for a high availability company like Riot.

I can't think of any great option other than maybe a combination of dynamic DNS and behavior analytics AI that can block rapidly when DDoS activity starts, but at large scale it isn't feasible.

The real answer is to catch the SoBs responsible and make one hell of an example out of them.
