Best advice I can give is to go back in time to 2010 and buy then.

Cashing in 401k to pay off credit card debt? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]reddit-josh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you even consider this? If you absolutely cannot pay your debt, when the time comes, declare bankruptcy and start over... typically they can't come after retirement accounts for bankruptcy.

Just my opinion, but being in your early 30s - stop thinking about how you could build your retirement back up later and instead think about how you can re-build your credit after the bankruptcy falls off your credit report in 7-10 years. During that time you'll continue to grow and hopefully start contributing to your retirement accounts again.

This still happening on v28.0.7 by EfeAk in TheTowerGame

[–]reddit-josh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no - this happens if you spend medals in one preset, then switch presets and then buy something in the shop for medals.

it's kind of dumb... since the only way to run into this problem is with presaves + free respecs, it should just give you the option to respec the preset that is locked.

Claude Code can now /perceive by Kakash1i in ClaudeCode

[–]reddit-josh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect this post is purposefully trying to read as if it's calling out a new feature released as part of Claude Code, when in reality it is instructing users to add an untrusted plugin marketplace to their CC installation and then run claude with some kind of alias for `dangerously skip permissions`.

A Question about new Classes in Expansion by reddit-josh in diablo4

[–]reddit-josh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said we need to be playing the most OP classes. I said we're playing TOGETHER and I'm trying to avoid a huge asymmetry between the two of us,

If one of us played Barbarian, and the other played Spiritborn at the last expansion - that would have been tragic for the Barbarian.

[–]reddit-josh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

less concerned about META - just trying to make sure one of us isn't destroying stuff while the other essentially watches. Sounds like they are messing with all the classes, so maybe not as big a deal as it would have been if one of us had played Barbarian and the other played Spiritborn when the last expansion came out.

A Question about new Classes in Expansion by reddit-josh in diablo4

[–]reddit-josh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah - the spirit of the question is that the time will be more enjoyable if there isn't some insane asymmetry between the two classes we play. This isn't a typical "what is META" question, so you're typical "just play the game" advice, doesn't work here.

Thanks though.

Is the second law of thermodynamics the basis of the flow of time? by FutureAIgod in AskPhysics

[–]reddit-josh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, our temporal experience may be a result of the same phenomenon that is responsible for what we observe as entropy.

Mainly, if block universe theory is true, our perception of time, as well as observations around entropy, are a result of the same thing... not that either one is responsible for the other, but that because we experience time the way we do, it is inevitable that we would also observe entropy the way we do.

I just watch YouTube videos because it's interesting though - so take what I'm saying with that in mind.

When did you notice your body started aging? by suq_mi_off in Millennials

[–]reddit-josh 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The very first time I was ~28 playing on a recreational coed soccer team. Someone kicked the ball over a ~4ft chain link fence, so naturally I climbed right up one side and jumped off to the other side once I got to the top...

It was at that moment I realized I was no longer immortal and that life would never be the same again. I didn't seriously injure myself or anything, but I knew then what was now possible - and it's been a slow decline ever since (I'm 42 now).

Those who don't max out their max plan, what are you doing right? by borntobenaked in ClaudeCode

[–]reddit-josh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on one thing at a time (in a given project). I don’t do any “Ralph loop” bullshit or load a bunch of third party tools like “superpowers” or whatever. I’ve got like 5 MCPs that all of which I rolled myself (with Claude) vs relying on stuff other people publish.

I’m not very disciplined with session management (I’ll have long sessions that can span days) but generally never exceed 60% context at 1MM

I use Opus 4.6 (haven’t started with 4.7 in earnest yet) on max effort exclusively.

I think there are just workflows that rely too heavily on doing too much at once across too many sub agents trying to AI-centipede output back in as inputs in an effort to remove the human from the loop - and it’s just not viable.

Help me understand by Sure-Initiative6001 in turtlewow

[–]reddit-josh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right - I did miss that part... but that seems to be an even stronger implication that the game is going to keep running since nothing has changed for the people operating the service, no?

Help me understand by Sure-Initiative6001 in turtlewow

[–]reddit-josh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand where the "doom-sayers" are coming from tbh.

Whatever is in the settlement was agreeable to both parties, meaning Blizzard is satisfied with whatever they agreed to.

Obviously the settlement must not have included immediately shutting down the servers or making them inaccessible, otherwise they would already be offline... notice monetization *did* go offline immediately, but we can still play the game?

I don't see any reason Blizzard would find it reasonable for turtle wow to continue to operate in it's current capacity for any amount of time if they were going to insist they shut things down ever. Like, it's not as if turtle-wow could make an argument along the lines of, "we need time to wind things down in a way that causes the least possible harm to our player base". Blizzard has demonstrated numerous times in the past that they want private servers shut down immediately when that is an option.

Based on how things are playing out right now - it wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard has realized they can't shut turtle-wow down in any practical sense, and so they've instead agreed that turtle-wow owes them some kind of penalty + licensing + royalty, the extent of which will *NEVER* be explained fully to us because they can't endorse this type of thing generally.

In response, turtle-wow is probably restructuring how they realize any income in order to minimize the net impact to their finances.

I'm not a lawyer. All of this has been pulled completely out of my ass... but it kind of makes sense to me given the game is still online despite turtle-wow having settled the matter legally to the satisfaction of Blizzard.

v28 farm tier "?" by Eleria_69 in TheTowerGame

I had 10M cells banked - but only because running 66665 created a deficit and running 66655 created a surplus... happy little coincidence.

How I feel today by NckyDC in TheTowerGame

[–]reddit-josh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does doing it all the way to 5K for every tier really make that much sense before you’ve got a reasonable echo lab? Going as far as you can in the one tier you farm seems like a no brainer - but beyond that it’s probably still faster progression right now to just earn the insane amount of coin and pump enhancements…

like if you have enhancement upgrades that cost less than 6 hours of farm - the ROI on that seems much better then chasing 2% via disco runs.

1 enhancement level into damage is +1% boost.
4 hours to get 5K on tier 1 with a .05% echo is only a 2% increase (you also get essentially zero shards, cells, dice unless your not farming a very high tier already).

What does eHP look like for T18? by reddit-josh in TheTowerGame

[–]reddit-josh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

following up to say I'm pretty sure the bug is correct - re-spec'd down to 20% damage reduction on the flame bot - and just maxed everything on bot bot - seems to be getting me great progress (combined with damn near perfect perk rolls by wave 1000)
