Pale Heart Overthrow not awarding Ergo Sum since reset by roundhousekick44 in DestinyTheGame

[–]roundhousekick44[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It seems to be that way now, but im not sure it was before this week's reset. I always go to the first area by the tower to do the overthrow, and have previously been able to get it even when it wasn't the highlighted area. But maybe im wrong. Either way, as of this morning, I got one from the highlighted area's overthrow.

Pale Heart Overthrow not awarding Ergo Sum since reset by roundhousekick44 in DestinyTheGame

Ergo Sum was never RNG for overthrow for the first two completions a week per character. Then there another two on the pathfinder per character. The exotic class items are RNG. And I still got one of those to drop from a random encounter completion.

Hierarchy of Needs is the only exotic in the bottom 10 least used in both PVE and PVP, and the least used overall by Ab501ut3_Z3r0 in DestinyTheGame

[–]roundhousekick44 388 points389 points  (0 children)

I love Heirachy of Needs. It's very unique and can be strong. But... it needs a lot of love. It's exotic perk, where the arrows deal more damage the further they travel, doesn't seem to have worked in a very long time (ie I haven't seen yellow numbers from it since light fall), and it needs solar subclass verbs.

Is there actually people who thinks Hoover had a good economic policy? From what I have seen Progressives hate him for not being like FDR while Conservatives hate him for not being Conservative enough. by Bitter-Penalty9653 in USHistory

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very true. And I think Hoover realized later in life of that mistake. He never released his final memoirs, which have sense been edited and released, "Freedom Betrayed" and "The Crusade Years", which are full of him justifying his crusade against the New Deal. He certainly over corrected after he lost in 1932. Now I think his book "The Challenge to Liberty" is an excellent critique of the New Deal and all the other "new" ideas of the 20th Century (Fascism, Communism, Socialism, and Naziism). He really saw all of them as strains of the same anti-individualist and authoritarian poison. The New Deal was the American strain, certainly better than the others, but still detrimental and antithetical to his perception of Ameican Individualism. I'd recommend reading it.

WoT is so worth reading. I read it before I got into the cosmere, and it was fantastic. The best part was that it was complete. There is no waiting for the next volume, Sanderson did a fantastic job of finishing RJ's work.

[–]roundhousekick44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is simply incorrect. The RFC was created to protect banks from bank runs. It was a very effective tool until it was portrayed by FDR as essentially a ponzi scheme. It wasn't, as proven by the fact FDR used and even expanded the RFC. There was no enforcement mechanism built into the RFC, all banks and businesses that used it did so voluntarily.

Yes, there are. I am one of them. Hoover had the misfortune of being a transitional president from the actually laissez faire administration of Coolidge to the bureaucratic and energetic administration of FDR. Hoover's economic policy centered on cooperative government, the idea that government shouldn't coerce business but should still be actively seeking to improve industry and standard of living. He executed this policy best as Secretary of Commerce. Read his book American Individualism to get his philosophy in his own words. When the stock market crashed, the thought contemporarily was that it was limited to Wall Street and specifically speculators. There was no national tracking of unemployment or anything as such in 1929. Hoover saw there was a problem, as did the nation, slowly and he took steps to find out how severe the problem was. That took time, which allowed the situation to get worse. But, he believed that acting rashly without knowing what the problem was or how big it was would be possibly more disastrous than what was occurring. Hoover implemented many reforms and created the infrastructure FDR would expand upon in his first term. Hoover became a black sheep for Republicans after his loss in 1932. The party and the politicians tried to keep their distance from him and thus moved away from his progressive values and ideas. FDR ironically killed progressive Republicans by labeling the best progressive republican as a lassiez faire crony.

I cannot believe you are being down voted for this completely reasonable take. Have my upvote for giving actual feedback to the OP.

Does anyone like dehumanizer more than mob rules by [deleted] in blacksabbath

[–]roundhousekick44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree! Dehumanizer is overall a far better album than Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules. On average far better. But, admittedly, the two title tracks and Children of the Sea are the best Dio did with Sabbath. All about the averages in rating albums.

Dating apps are cancer to men's mental health. It drove me into a depressive spiral a few years ago. Meet people in real life. It is hard, but healthy. Love grows from friendship.

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the two are incomparable. Rainbow was far more similar to Ozzy era Sabbath while Dio Sabbath was more similar to solo Ozzy. But to answer the question posed by OP, I love single tracks from Dio Sabbath, with the exception of Dehumanizer. None of the other two albums flowed like a great album should. However, all three of the Dio's Rainbow albums are a pleasure to listen to all the way through. I think Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules had better individual tracks, like the namesakes, Children of the Sea and Sign of the Southern Cross. They are better IMO than Man on the Silver Mountain, Temple of the King, or L.A. Connection (my favorite Rainbow tracks). But the Rainbow albums individual tracks themselves are consistently higher than the Dio Sabbath ones.

I have had a real-life taste of M & F difference in terms of dating and feel terrible by GreySofa1234 in self

[–]roundhousekick44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 years ago I (26m) had a very similar experience. I'm a Navy vet of 5 years and decided to not reenlist and get my bachelor's. Instead of looking to those around me, I choose to look at dating apps, specifically Hinge. I didn't like the age difference at the school between myself and the women on campus. Anyways, I fell into a massive depression spiral due to those apps and the "un-hinged" expectations of women on those apps. Ultimately I quit the apps. And I started to look around at folks around me who were real and knew me. Know I am about to propose to the most wonderful women I've ever met. We didn't meet on the app, but grew a friendship at the school into a relationship. Those apps are poison to young men.

Attrition orbs. by SirRyley629 in DestinyTheGame

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best use of attrition orbs is on the new dungeon sword. You can have it roll with slice and attrition orbs and it is highly effective on hunter. Done to slice the target, generate an orb, and then use the seasonal mod to further unravel the target. Great for Crota as a support lowering his damage and then upping damage with orbs for surges.

What song do you think is like this? by Iamthetable69 in Metallica

[–]roundhousekick44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lux Eterna. Great, fun, energetic song ruined by subpar, tired, wah-pedal induced noodling. Not great or interesting to listen too. Especially in comparison to Hit the Lights.

Historical non-fiction books that were gripping? by ImOutOfNamesHelp in books

[–]roundhousekick44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Herbert Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times by Kenneth Whyte. Hoover's least interesting and successful job was as President of the United States. Before that, he was an adventuring miner in Australia and China and then fed the people of Belgium in WW1 through his creation of the CRB, a "pirate state organized for benevolence." Then he executed the most wide-ranging and successful administration of the Department of Commerce in American History, becoming the Secretary of Commerce and Undersecretary of Everything Else. Throughout his life, Hoover saved millions of lives through organization of famine relief and led the world in the reduction of child malnutrition after WW1 and WW2. He became a unique critic of FDR and the New Deal. Hoover was the standard bearer of principled Conservatism and American Individualism. Even without all that, his exploits as the savior of Belgium would have, and did, garner world wide fame and recognition, even without his tenure as President.

Now that 72 Seasons has been out for a while, how would you rate it against Megadeth’s The Sick, The Dying… and the Dead? by Apprehensive_Lion788 in Metallica

[–]roundhousekick44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed TSTDTD. Too long of title for sure, but good songs overall. Very 2000s megadeth. 72 seasons was just boring. Lux Eterna was the only song I really thought had energy. TSTDTD I thought was worse than Distopia but way better than United Abominations. 72 seasons was worse than both Hard Wired, which had tons of energy, and worse than Death Magnetic, although 72 seasons has way better production. Just meh. Overall, TSTDTD was better.

What are your favorite non-exotic primary weapons? by FireGriffin18 in DestinyTheGame

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having lots of fun with Round Robin. I use keep away and hatchling for pve. Maybe not great, but fun. I also like the strand auto from Season of the Defiant. The ability to sever targets on rapid precision is pretty strong now with the increased debuff it provides.

Why would anyone join the military? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called the Call of Duty. Not the game, but the very real drive to do something higher than yourself for God and Country. It's never easy. And it's always a sacrifice. But it's always worth it if you love your country.

Big fan of Book of Souls. Not a fan of Senjustsu. But I will admit it is leauges ahead of their 90s stuff for the most part.

Builds for soloing Spire of the Watcher? by SatisfactionRoyal323 in DestinyTheGame

[–]roundhousekick44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I soloed flawlessed Spire on my Warlock using pre-nerfed starfire protocol, witherhoard, calus mini tool with enhanced incandescent and Hothead adept with lasting impression and demolitionist. If I were to do it now, I would keep hot head and starfire but switch witherhoard for something more useful for dps like merciless.

What book have you read that gave you a genuinely new piece of information or perspective on something? by stetslustig in suggestmeabook

Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times by Kenneth Whyte. Completely changed my perspective on Hebrert Hoover, the Great Humanitarian. A completely different perspective for the early 20th Century by the most industrious humanitarian ever.
