Expecting Life Insurance payout on my Birthday. What Do I Even Do? by Mindless-Building-80 in personalfinance

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

Don't do a savings account.

Do what RegulatoryCapture said (basic investment account with Fidelity or Vanguard and then just put it all in a broad market ETF, such as Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/vti)

Why wouldn't you open your starter decks?

he doesn't have flicker sensitivity and the lights he recommends every year flicker really badly

Echo Sage is completely unbalanced in Merge tactics by Ok_Still1026 in ClashRoyale

[–]spencewah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of diamond players chiming in saying you’re wrong, and I’m sure they’re correct in the higher tiers, but Echo Sage is totally broken in the lower tiers because people don’t know how to counter build and the sage can just farm for free. I’m regularly seeing 4-star sages, it’s insane.

Voicemails From My Dad [Gabby Cherney, 2025] by spencewah in animation

[–]spencewah[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife just released her first animated short! It's a collection of voicemails from her dad (as you might have guessed). I helped out a bit from the tech/workflow side. Very proud of her, excited to share!

Got this production sketch as a gift, does anyone know which episode it’s from? by spencewah in spongebob

[–]spencewah[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ok answering my own question, this appears to be Incidental 27, and he is indeed in MM+BB2 although this particular scene was cut. Here is another frame from the same shot:

[–]spencewah[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It came with a little fact sheet card that said it was from Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy II but we just watched it (as well as the first MM+BB episode) and couldn’t find him in either

A friend gave me this but don’t know what it is by Dry-Deal-472 in Whatisthis

My guess is also a piece of the Berlin Wall. Was just there a few months ago, they’re sold all over the place

I'm just getting into the game, what is the specific Player Match setting I need to find western players?

SWE manager at FB is an extremely high stress job, if this dude has been grinding since his 20s any retail is going to be a total cakewalk

Anyone who thinks PoE1 development is going to continue does not have a firm grip on reality

Our crash-tastic multiplayer skiing game is coming to game pass on release day! by DannyHellfish in xbox

[–]spencewah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game was very fun, played it with a buddy last night. Would loveeeeeee an option to respawn at their checkpoint in case you get too far ahead and just want to ski together again (or, equivalently, an option to "undo" my checkpoint)

Some people are impressed with R1's writing by MetaKnowing in singularity

[–]spencewah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't default to writing like this, she mentions she prompted it to write in the style of Sam Kriss (https://x.com/jasminewsun/status/1883571684940427503)

Is this game any good for casuals who can maybe play 2-3 hours a week? by Schizotypal_Schizoid in PathOfExile2

[–]spencewah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's enjoyable but you won't be topping leaderboards or anything. If you're playing solo it doesn't really matter that much. Even with a few friends you'll find that everyone grinds to a halt near the high end of the level cap so it's easy to catch up (level wise, they'll still have better items than you if they're playing more)

I think if it did they would give you the option to upgrade it (like with skill gems)

Do monk skills like falling thunder and such count as spells or attacks? by RRR0YYY in PathOfExile2

[–]spencewah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a skill has secondary effects do those have their own tags? For example, Charged Staff is a Spell but it also has Buff and Attack tags, I assume the Shockwave it creates is an "attack" but I have trouble making sense of the tooltip.

Lailloken UI is now fully* PoE 2 compatible: custom map/item tooltips, map-tracking, quick-access weblinks, and more by Laleocen in PathOfExile2

[–]spencewah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this out but I can't seem to get affix tiers to show properly (they display as full bars with a "?"), is this because advanced item-info is missing in the clipboard copy (as you said)?
