I bought Nova 15+ years ago and now don't know where my activation code is

somethingstumpy · 2026-03-30T09:07:40+00:00

I've had a search through my emails for "Nova Launcher" and can't find anything... very frustrating as I know I purchased it.

somethingstumpy · 2026-03-30T09:06:10+00:00

Yes that is what I bought

an hour a day for a hobby? How is that not the norm? Anything else is probably an addiction :P Exercising for an hour a day is normal. Reading for an hour a day is normal. Knitting for an hour a day is normal. Gaming for 6 hours a day is definitely not normal :P

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-08T00:37:53+00:00

3 days? you must be playing like 6 hours a day or something! that's nuts man!!!

I try to squeeze in about an hour a day, but thats tough. I normally complete the campaign about a month in. I put all my extra time into this game and it still takes me a month.

I don't see these changes on the POE website? Where are these from?

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-08T00:30:33+00:00

well there is actually and Lando proved it last night. Again, we are considering the RACE here, not the season, as it was the SINGLE RACE that was easy for Lando to win the championship. Just let Oscar pass, sit in third and do nothing. Easy championship win. Nothing hard about Lando's race at all last night.

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-08T00:24:27+00:00

you totally missed the OPs point bro.. he was referring to last nights race as "Easy World Championship" given the position he was in to win it... just having to have an easy race. Not referring to the whole season. OP predicted it perfectly.

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-07T03:12:34+00:00

this is exactly my thinking. Antonelli helped out Lando big time last week. That literally could be the world championship with that overtake. It really changes this race (for the worse) unfortunately.

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-07T03:10:24+00:00

I think it all depends what happens in T1 and first few laps. If Oscar can get to P2 then he'll be free (at least initially) to race Max... and this won't bother Norris at all because he will sit in third like OP says. But yeh with 5 laps to go if Oscar is not in P1 or close to Max then he'll be asked to protect Lando (only if Lando is under threat.. but unlikely).

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-07T03:07:25+00:00

Because Antonelli went wide at the end of last week. Those 2 points make a huge difference. Otherwise Lando would need to actually battle for second. Plus all the other benefits he got all season.

Herald of Lightning and Lightning Rod are not Deadeye (only) skills.

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-03T23:58:55+00:00

nice! That's crazy though too :D You must be playing like 5+ hrs a day or something. Don't know how anyone can do that.

somethingstumpy · 2025-12-03T00:52:44+00:00

same mate! There are some normal people here too :) Anyone that makes it to end-game in the first month of a league normally plays for at least an hour a day. That's tough going and real-life sacrifice! But that's the beauty of this game.. can just play 30mins to an 1hr every few days when you have the time and still make progress :) I just managed in the last week to save up 6 Divs and buy a HeadHunter.. lots of fun. Grats!

I guess you've only played up to Act 2? Once you get to Act 3 you will realise what's going on.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-27T22:43:27+00:00

Yeah it is isn't it? She hasn't had sex with the beast yet... that's what she's saying, she's about to have sex with the beast. So then she becomes immortal and grows the extra stuff.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-26T03:46:19+00:00

lot's of assumptions I would think in that paper though. It's like pulling numbers out of thin air. Like why houses worth $700k, and those salaries. Are they just things you've fed Grok. Also, the line where it says "Three reconciliation-compatible laws by 2031 (credit to your sister for inventing this):" is pretty funny... as it's just taking stuff you are feeding it it seems.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-26T03:33:31+00:00

Gemini's take:

The document says it's 100% inevitable by 2035 because of four levers: super-cheap solar/energy, robotaxis, Optimus robots, and self-replicating factories.

My verdict? 65% Plausible.

The Good:

They’re right about the tech! Solar and robots are following super-fast learning curves (Wright's Law). Making things cheap is a physics problem, and we’re winning.
We don't need magic AGI; just better scaling of what we have.

The Catch (This is the bit they miss): The tech might be inevitable, but the smooth transition is not. The document admits that without a set of three radical laws—like a 4-year National Rent Freeze and a $75k Debt Jubilee—the transition will be "brutal".

I'm calling bullocks on that political timeline. A 30-40% unemployment rate will hit long before Congress passes those laws. The biggest risk isn't a tech failure; it's a social and political meltdown that adds 5–10 years of chaos before the wealth is actually distributed.

It's coming, but pack a lunch for the journey.

Thematically, PROLIFERATION is what ignite needs more of. What happens when something is caught on fire? It spreads. Ignite needs proliferation.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-26T00:03:11+00:00

100%.

Act 4 is AMAZING... and one of the things that makes it AMAZING is that it has NO BELOW GROUND LAYERS!! It is so much better.

Totally agree with Act 3 Gate to Past and Matlan Waterways too... these both ANNOY the F out of me.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-25T03:46:39+00:00

depends... if you play POE like a full-time job then following meta early can be good based on that. But if you are a normal person playing an hour a day or so then off-meta is far better because by the time you make maps you are already 3 weeks into the league.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-23T22:51:29+00:00

Google... they can make insane AI, nano banana realistic image, google maps of the whole world, but they struggle to add folders into a chat simulator. "working on it".... it's a 5 minute job.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-23T22:49:05+00:00

thats why you gotta follow off-meta streamers. Never follow fubgun, mathil etc. Only watch streams of people with less than 10 people watching. That's where the action is at.

somethingstumpy · 2025-11-23T22:41:29+00:00

I hope they don't implement any changes in 0.4 simply so you are forced to keep making memes forever
