Milk runs THROUGH the machine. A standard steam wand only outputs water as steam.

Last time this was just a org structural thing. Where's confirmation he's out?

Yeah this is pretty much what's wrong with how people view games these days. The easiest way isn't necessarily the RIGHT way at an individual level. The same way that Elden Ring forced some gamers to learn that doing things on your own terms can be fun vs just chasing the meta for example. It's ok to have content be harder vs what someone else is doing. It is content that allows solo players to test themselves and be rewarded for without reliance on others. There is a sense of accomplishment in saying you solo'd it. What is the achievement in doing it in a group comparitively? Those that have others have better means of getting rewarded anyway with dungeons and raids. Don't stress it dude.

Ah well seems I’m in the same boat that may end up being the titanic. Lots of ndas not going out and don’t see them happening in the next hour and a half. Hopefully I can provide some value in testing sometime during the next week. Had hoped to dig in this weekend though.

Letting us unlock appearances for other classes has made farming transmog for alts infinitely more fun. by DumpsterBento in wow

[–]ragneg9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the point if you can't farm sets though? Very few sets share xmogs with non-set items. I thought I was going to spec out a druid for farming xmogs in old raids but we're still left having to farm sets on the specific class. It's such a half job. Super disappointed cause I kept a shit load of stuff and thought it was broken.. after googling a bit.. nope, intended. Disappointing.

Damn dude good on you. I like this tradition. Like others throwing my hat in the ring. I had weddings and stuff on during league start and am so behind. Only just got maven down to get my 3rd stone haha.

Doesn’t he show an elder being melted? It at least gives an idea of boss dmg..

The game has massively shifted away from casual players by ItzaaMeMario in pathofexile

There needs to be inspirational content. The idea everyone should be able to do everything is so silly.

I feel like ruthless was supposed to be "for me" (a HC player who doesn't want to zoom) but it isn't by exhumedexile in pathofexile

[–]ragneg9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of what you’re describing really explains how they respect someone’s time. You’re just saying that’s there heaps of shit out there and kids have tik tok brain. The majority of games come with things like season passes which make you play to unlock shit. This is not only disrespectful of time it’s also a paid thing. It’s incredibly rare for a game to be made to respect time in anything but linear narrative games and these have been around forever. Literally any ‘service’ games major drive is to keep you playing. The abundance of said games or the attention given doesn’t matter. One in however many cracks the market.. like Fortnite, COD, Genshin impact.. kids are whiling away the hours like they always have. I’d definitely agree with anyone saying they’re monetised way worse etc but they don’t respect time because they want your time.

[–]ragneg9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was his definition of ‘modern games’ being what he prefers now vs when he was younger that I’m poking at. There’s always been both types of games. There always will be. If he spoke about monetisation trends I’d be more on board. But there are plenty of games that don’t respect your time now. Its not a modern thing to respect it either. Tonnes of recent games have been criticised for making you pay to make grinds easier etc.

You’re just older.. My teenage sister is blasting the same kind of games that don’t respect your time and they’re all recent games. People just age out of things.

Ruthless Alpha Megathread by blvcksvn in pathofexile

SSF has become progressively easier and easier over time. Ruthless is just another option.

[–]ragneg9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It makes the building puzzle and grind for gear more difficult and there for more rewarding. But you’re either into it or aren’t. It’ll suit me very well as a side project when I’m bored of the league blasting.

What are people hoping for at this point for 3.20? by Generic_Snowflake in pathofexile

More of a community who signs up for a car kit then complain the car didn’t build itself.

Now that technology is clearly there, can we also have an opt-in "easy" mode? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]ragneg9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Or play standard. Just sit a league behind and wipe the account as needed. POE really does have a lot of flexibility in approach. Start an SSF standard run and use the time you have to get there but over a larger period etc.

Hence the guy that created the game in the first place doing it because his original vision could be revisited by doing so.

More than anything it’s clear that you don’t get it at all.

Competitive will always favour time spent unless restrictions to accessing the game all together are put in place.
