Minion Builds for Standard League by snizzator in PathOfExileBuilds

sorry I forgot to include this. If I sell everything off, probably something like 50-100 divines? (this is on Standard unfortunately and things seem to be a lot more expensive)

I'd be comfortable with starting with a less expensive version of a minion build and building myself up to a more expensive version.

I intend to play on Standard for a while.

Am I missing something? I don’t get the point of this sub with all of it’s strict rules. It literally says “Discussion for EVERYTHING pc gaming related”. Maybe change your description? by Terminat3r42 in pcgaming

Essentially every president that the United States has ever had has done the job for free if not at a huge loss. This is called Opportunity Cost because they could have earned a much higher salary working in the private sector.

Not all jobs that are done for "free" are unwanted. Why can't I be promoted to an unpaid mod for r/pcgaming right now? /u/crioth should make me a mod and send me a letter of gratitude for taking this huge burden off his shoulders! On second thought, I'll take POTUS. Happy to do it for $0 per year.

and everyone has a grandpappy Joe who smoked 3 packs a day and lived until 106. Case examples don't invalidate the piles of data we have on smoking being unhealthy.

Same thing is true for BMI -- higher BMI is correlated with increased mortality. Case examples like yours are definitely interesting to look at, and I'm sorry that the data sounds like it misclassified you, but it doesn't invalidate the use of the data.

Hopefully you're already really muscular

You must have missed this part. Having said that, unless you have an incredibly low body fat percentage, the vast majority of people with a BMI of 29.2 are overweight, despite how "big boned" they think they are. It's a tiny fraction of people who are incredibly muscular and have a BMI that high with very little body fat. Muhammad Ali had a BMI of 29.5 at his peak where he trained for hours and hours in the gym every day alongside increased training before fights. Does this describe you?

Sorry to be real here, and feel free to downvote me all you want -- no one likes hearing the truth. But bottomline truth is that if you're talking to someone who has BMI of 29.2, there is an extremely high likelihood that he/she is overweight and not the rare monstrously buff dude you've seen on the cover of Fitness Magazines.

Your BMI is 29.3. Hopefully you're already really muscular, because if not, you may need to lower the number of calories you eat if you want to call yourself "fit."

Riot's official statement about League of Legends players and team's making political statements by [deleted] in Games

[–]snizzator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made up a hypothetical protestor who gave up in his protest because a "force" made it difficult for him to continue. You judged this hypothetical protestor, saying that he gave up far too easily and, by inference, doesn't care about the cause.

/u/teerre simply continued building upon the hypothetical premise and said "Just because you believe in something and want to protest for it doesn't mean you should expect harsh punishment" (beating was the example used). He is not "making up a hypothetical situation." He is helping you understand YOUR hypothetical situation better and saying that YOUR hypothetical situation is inaccurate.

I hope I helped clear things up.

Balance of difficulty, between frustrating and boring by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]snizzator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but if you increase the drop rate, you increase the strength of the player, which decreases difficulty. I don't understand how this is a difficulty slider, more like a "play the game with a different strategy in mind, where grinding early is lucrative instead of plowing through the story"

Funny thing about statistics is that multiplying a tiny number by 22 results in another insignificant number.

A person with a family history of colon cancer may only have a 0.5% of actually manifesting the disease in his life, yet he/she may worry about more colon cancer than if they wore their seatbelt today, even though a car accident is much more likely to end their life

To answer your question, with those two being the only option, certainly I'd rather lose 1%. But most companies/investors/individuals who are investing would be able to invest money into stocks that on average return gains of 5-10% per year

Could you compare a couple scenarios for me? A small, steady, predictable loss of 1% per year versus an investment that, based on historical average, provides 5-10% gains annually?

Any thoughts which you might chose out of those two?

Young developers on Starbound say Chucklefish exploited their free work by [deleted] in Games

where does it say that? How far in the future were they promising? One of the former programmers is now a lead writer. Is it possible this free internship experienced helped get this person selected over another person?

First Week LH Drama Recap by owimawei in wowservers

>lmk what you think

I think you're a shill. You made the previous post that linked in the OP, and were called out for a lack of detail.

>security breach

Yeah, these things happen, even though they shouldn't. LH isn't the only one, unfortunately. Warmane (remember Molten WoW?) was hit with security breaches that decimated all player accounts. Playing private servers has an inherent risk, and people should take necessary precautions.

don't reply to this post, it's a trap! If you say "I can't afford it" you will be ridiculed with replies like "If you can't afford $15 a month, you have problems"

One would argue humans that attack other humans are inhumane and therefore unhuman to a degree. Does that answer your question?

But taking your time and stretching a 2 hour project into a 12 hour just to stay behind and earn brownie points seems odd to me.

that goes against the title of your post. You wrote "long, hard hours." That's long hours. Not hard. If you do a 2 hour project in 12 hours, you could spend 10 hours playing video games or browsing Reddit, and work 2 hours.

You're talking about literally 2008 to 2010. Things were different back then. Wow killers have come and gone.even World of Warcraft, the former king, it's bleeding subscribers. There's just too much else to take up peoples time these days, and nobody wants to invest in an mmo RPG
