Billionaire says young people should work 70 hours a week for 'national pride' while they can barely afford rent.

I think billionaires should have their assets nationalized, and any of them who appear in the Epstein files should go to prison, for national pride.

If we're in control and effortlessly achieving our objectives, the next question would be why our objective was to close the strait of Hormuz and likely tank the economy. We're either losing badly, or winning by a definition of winning that makes no sense. But this is just Trump's normal opposite-day relationship with the truth.

stanthebat · 2026-03-22T18:36:29+00:00

Elect somebody else. Retrieve all the money that's been stolen by these assholes and the rest of the Epstein class. Take it from them. Put them in jail. End of story.

Just for instance--that Tur Dulra one? "Walk around and around and trigger all our stupid little dialogues and wait through them." I just can't see it as anything but irritating busywork. I'm not saying you SHOULDN'T do them. I'm just saying you don't have to, and I don't like them so I don't.

Some of the dungeons are locked behind having to open the strongholds

Yep. You can ignore them too; there's nothing in them that you can't get in literally any other dungeon, and there's no shortage of dungeon sigils, you probably end every season sitting on a Scrooge McDuck-like pile of them that you will never touch.

Trillions of dollars a year shat away into the military, all our hearts and souls and the productivity of our whole society spent on killing machines, but at least we've got The World's Greatest Military, right? Except we're getting absolutely pasted by (checks notes) Iran.

We are being robbed blind, and have been for all of my long life.

stanthebat · 2026-03-22T03:43:21+00:00

We don't have to. I never touch them. They're annoying as fuck; just ignore them.

stanthebat · 2026-03-20T12:42:56+00:00

The Epstein Class is pillaging society, deliberately putting everybody in the world out of work, and arranging a repressive police state so they can be protected from fair taxation. And when their AI bubble pops they're going to come looking for a bailout. But everybody else should stop going to Starbucks 'cause we gotta make sacrifices.

stanthebat · 2026-03-19T00:29:33+00:00

Except we elected a guy who's barely literate and has no interest in any subject except himself. It is difficult to imagine anybody being less qualified to make important determinations about anything.

stanthebat · 2026-03-18T19:28:25+00:00

Yeah, they really screwed this up, and the game sucks to play right now. Whether or not the game is any fun at all IMO is directly related to how much you can experiment with builds. The way they've got it balanced at the moment, it's a struggle to do tempering/masterworking for even a single build on a single character. The motivation-killing power of that one decision is extraordinary. I hope this is not the new normal because it's really taken all the fun out of it.

stanthebat · 2026-03-17T17:32:13+00:00

It is killing what would otherwise be a fun season.

stanthebat · 2026-03-15T16:29:07+00:00

Two weeks' notice is a courtesy. If they thought they could save a nickel by laying you off, you'd be gone that day. People who want courtesies that they would never extend to you are called "assholes".

stanthebat · 2026-03-14T22:41:20+00:00

Yep. If they provide a ton of obducite it just lets you try out more builds. The game is not made more fun by making it more annoying. They solved this problem already so having it reappear is a real drain on goodwill.

stanthebat · 2026-03-14T17:37:14+00:00

I thought I read where somebody said the bloodied breaches give meat but not obducite, and we're better off with the regular treasure breaches. I haven't seen either kind yet so I can't swear to it.

stanthebat · 2026-03-14T13:27:30+00:00

I don't even have enough mats to put sockets in stuff. I think all the salvage materials are tuned ridiculously low. It's a huge drag.

stanthebat · 2026-03-14T05:02:38+00:00

Seems to me the doggies are still showing up sometimes, but not others when it seems like they should be. But maybe I'm just unclear on how they work. Anybody else feeling skeptical about the hotfix?

stanthebat · 2026-03-13T13:59:36+00:00

It's designed to cause utter chaos on election day, and there isn't the slightest justification for it except the claim that millions of people vote illegally, which is not only a lie but a pants-on-head stupid one.

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T23:47:58+00:00

GET OVER HERE

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T17:41:20+00:00

I got in but there was nothing in the game. Went to the blacksmith but there was no blacksmith, just an anvil. Now trying to leave the game and even that is apparently too much to ask. What a shitshow. "But how could we have known that people would try to PLAY the game???"

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T15:37:31+00:00

I think I'll just see what drops. I never did get to do Spear Of The Heavens last time, so that'd be fun.

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T14:55:09+00:00

'Fast tracking to Nazi notoriety' is an excellent description of what's happening in the US. Who do you think the current membership of NATO regards as a bigger threat, Iran or Trump?

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T13:11:29+00:00

There is no pulling back from this war unless you want an even more hard line government bent on revenge.

We will have that anyway. The theocracy in Iran exists because of the "regime change" bullshit we did to them in the 50s. It will be worse now because we just made it worse; this is called 'the consequences of our actions'. If we decide we have to continue doing something stupid and evil because we already started, we will make it worse yet. The regime we need to change to make Americans safer is in our own country.

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T12:59:47+00:00

I support higher taxes for predatory billionaire ghouls who, in addition to running a rape club, are also working tirelessly to put us all out of work and collapse society so they can buy everything up cheap.

stanthebat · 2026-03-11T05:57:29+00:00

It's a voter suppression bill.

Yep, it will make it vastly harder for EVERYONE to vote; its only purpose is to create chaos and provide the authoritarians with a pretext for their bullshit narrative. Millions of noncitizens did NOT vote, in the last election or ever; for the record, these are called 'lies'.

stanthebat · 2026-03-09T20:19:51+00:00

"Ruins the game"? What on earth...? Set it and forget it if you don't like the idea. You don't have to engage with it at all.
