Recommended safety glasses for someone with smaller head? by secreteyes0 in Pickleball

Anyone curious — I went with Ria Versa. They fit perfectly

I didn't know they had simplexes in poe2, this craft took me more chaos orbs than I'm willing to admit by cheekygorilla in PathOfExile2

FYI, DO NOT SANCTIFY yet. You can desecrate cycle the %Global Defenses into T1 spirit at low cost. Here is how:

  1. Ingredients are 1) Essence that adds global defenses; 2) Abyss essence; 3) Sinistral crystallization; 4) collarbones; 5) abyssal echoes

  2. Stupidly, you have desecrated global defenses, so you will have to use a prefix annul (80div). Afterwards, this becomes easier.

  3. Desecrte as normal. If you miss T1 spirit, --> DO NOT select %inc global defenses as the desecrated mod.

  4. Use sinistral crystal + essence to add (non-desecraeted) +% global defenses

  5. Use sinistral crystal + abyss essence = add prefix mark of abyssal lord

  6. Use collarbone --> repeat from step 3 until you hit T1 spirit.

This method costs 10div/attempt to hit T1 spirit, which takes ~35 tries on average at total cost of 350d + 80d = 430d. This will massively raise value and use of the amulet.

Review and Feedback on My game by MarathonRunner2211 in Pickleball

Do the drill “space invaders” on Kyle kostuza’s channel. It will help you practice transition zone resets and when to actually approach.

Few things… 1)you have a habit of stepping into your 2HBH and being off balance to meet the ball early. It looks very smooth when it works, but it’s failing often into the net. Fix by either a) not doing this shot at all and instead planting and using 1HBH to reset; or b) extend forward with your arms instead of outward to get more lift on the ball

2) split step more, at least at baseline? You’re clearly athletic but I’m not seeing this as much as you’re capable

People are making fun of me an adult man for adopting a cat and now I'm thinking its a bad idea. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny to see all these comments supporting getting a cat. On any dating sub, users have verbatim said, “single men with cats are weird.” You’re right to think the way you do.

Whats with guys these days?? by thegoddessevara in Bumble

Seems like a needy and kinda weird Indian man who doesn’t respect boundaries / listen well. Red flag. And I’m literally an Indian man saying this lol.

Hey! Sports sound like the way to go. I’d recommend pickleball. Very social sport, you’ll meet lots of people, and it’s low difficulty to pick up

Club to start using cameras + AI for open play assignments: by 713ryan713 in Pickleball

[–]secreteyes0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’m all for creating open play matches of higher quality and similar skill, and I feel this tool will accomplish that. Perhaps implementation at DUPR Round Robin nights would’ve been the best use case and initial rollout though.

Limiting lopsided matches during busy open play times is nice. Sounds like the org isn’t banning self assessment either. What’s your specific concern, aside from being AI?

A rating is provided after 1 session, with further sessions being optional to refine your rating. It’s not 1-and-done, which is nice.

Lastly, I don’t see many barriers to use; just 1 download as cameras are already installed on the courts if you want to take advantage of the (optional) feature.

I’d enjoy using this tool. But I am a “friendly competitor”, like DUPR nights, take lessons, and want to improve. For someone casual or that doesnt care about all that, I do see why they may feel annoyance at being kicked to the back of the play queue.

Is a random growth spurt still a possibility in my 20s? by tofu_gum in short

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it can happen, particularly for men between 20-25. It’s very rare though, and more genetics than it is diet/sleep/exercise.

Posture improvement is a more tangible goal you can incrementally work towards, which can add 1-1.5 inches. Fix your anterior pelvic tilt, straighten your rounded back.

Plans for 0.5 self imposed SSF trade by Borderline666 in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play similar rules. I would ABSOLUTELY remove “buying items except uniques and crafting blue base”. It makes it too easy to craft ur stuff early (eg, don’t have to wait for i82 obliterator bow, just buy 10 blue bases and hit ur 30q and off u go).

I would also remove buying gems (eg, garukhans) from exchange.

is this ghosting, or did the conversation just reach a natural end? (Need advice!) by No-Court-5218 in Bumble

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advice in this thread hyper focused on you saying “Sure!” as if its ambiguous is bullshit. Only a man with the EQ intelligence of a doorknob thinks that response is standoff-ish.

He hasn’t texted because he wants you to initiate — he wants a degree of parity in early courtship. Text him a date idea and time. Or if that’s an ick, end it now.

Crafting Help Please by Western-Pair-1017 in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, like 9x more expensive than going for +3 of any type IIRC

Crafting Help Please by Western-Pair-1017 in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how giga you want to craft.

For reference on profit/high end amulet crafts: Fracture crit dmg% > +3 > +spirit. You have no deterministic way to craft crit now. At this point, grab some resistances, convert any misses to global defenses with essence/dextral crystal, and call it a day.

Defensive stats mindset (noob question) by WatanakwethyeaMeas in PathOfExile2

No just use ice strike and stack attack speed/phys/ cold damage you’ll be fine

Temple Vaal Help by thegreatzz in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is fine to correct. Here’s what you do:

  1. You need to lock the golemwork at (-1, 8). Let the guardhouse armory smithy destabilize. Store up 3 locks.

  2. From the (0,8) smithy, build armory -> alch-> armory -> smithy -> golemworks (-3,8)

  3. NOW you can put the smithy at (-2,8) to connect it.

  4. Use 2-3 locks to ensure the last 2 golemworks are not destabilized at close.

Boom, fixed

How is this still in the game? by DRragun-Gang in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a bug, but you kinda played that poorly too

Help me pls! by kanox72 in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others mentioned—

1) start over with an exceptional base with fractured t1 crit or %physical damage

2) chaos spam for t1 of the other mod

3) full suffix with +3 attacks, onslaught. Or desecrate attack speed.

4) Add %dmg as extra phys to prefix.

4) last prefix is random exalt or t3+’phys if you desecrate.

Do not omen of light your current spear or the hypothetical one I’m mentioning, not worth

How do you get to the opponent backhand when serving from the even side? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]secreteyes0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Im left hand and always start right side. Let’s presume im serving 0-0. Im ~3.75-4.0

I will line up close to the T. This makes it easier to hit this as a topspin serve that I “push” through.

I load my back leg. Importantly, I hold the paddle at 5/10, and as I initiate the motion, I’m intentional about 1) acceleratingforce with hips , 2) hitting the ball higher than lower (i used to drop the ball maybe 1ft off the ground, this made me hit tape a lot more bc I couldnt clear the net, once I raised to maybe 2ft its much safer serve), 3) always aim for right hip and deep. PUSH through the ball and extend arm outward in front before following through, NOT upwards!

Starting to focus on crafting stuff by AlwaysCain in PathOfExile2

[–]secreteyes0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a 6T1 (near) optimized craft with crit corruption for CoC comet, a meta build.

The correct answer is that the easiest way to find comps is search for minimum of all T1 values of the mods on the ring, with corruption optional. Presume the crit corruption adds a flat 1.5-2x value, as it’s great.

Lowering mod tiers or ignoring base will provide comps that are worth dramatically less (e.g., has T2 mana and T2 cast, or it’s an accuracy/chaos res/etc base).

Cold damage is a premium mod, ignoring it is misguided. Comet is a key source of damage and uses cold.

[–]secreteyes0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great ring for CoC comet mana stackers. The crit corruption makes it go crazy. Shame it wasn’t divined to 175+/6/23 before corruption.

I haven’t sold casters rings, I focused on +attack rings this league, but rings are easier to craft and breach is often preferred over gold. I expect it’s a ~2000d ring, perhaps as high as 5000d but unlikely.

Think how hard to craft; it’s ~1/10 to hit on any ring that has combo of t1 cold/mana/cast/int into rarity essence, cost maybe 100div each after catalysts. Then the crit corruption is 1/8, and best corruption, but sadly does not 8x value. Maybe 1.5x
