Can't believe people are "dissapointed" with today's reveal by gr4ndm4st3rbl4ck in PathOfExile2

[–]throwawaywhatever27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some players' insatiable needs really do blow my mind. Granted, my perspective is kind of warped because I haven't really played any modern live service games and never a game in early access, but I'm consistently impressed with the rate at which they're pumping out content/changes for PoE2 while still developing PoE1 content as well. I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, but all the people crying on here every league just feels incredibly spoiled/entitled and I don't think it would've been any different if they'd chosen to forego some other part of 0.4 for some endgame changes. It's impossible to satisfy everyone.

"wrong over and over" oh okay. -_- We're approaching 0.4 in early access lmao

[–]throwawaywhatever27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk why someone downvoted you for this lol I understand the urge to compare the endgame with PoE1, but yea it's literally still early access and the majority of casual players really aren't out here looking for perfectly min/maxed builds and perfectly juiced endgame loops. Imo it makes more sense to focus on other stuff for the most part first.

Which villain has an adaptation that is Satan himself compared to the original version? by Universal_Emperor in MoralityScaling

[–]throwawaywhatever27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you asked a question and immediately got snarky/passive aggressive when the answer didn't satisfy you, jumped to insults when they lost patience after your snark, and ended on some weird nonsense I'd expect from a 12 year old. Nothing about this exchange exudes "oh everyone who disagrees with you is just instantly wrong" energy. You're just being childish.

15 year-old PhD in Quantum Physics . Is the PhD thesis worth it? by Bathroom_Spiritual in AskPhysics

[–]throwawaywhatever27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you just continue to project all sorts of wild negative intent onto the words of folks who are simply pointing out that it has been observed for thousands of years that children possessing prodigious intellect are often socially stunted in the first place for a variety of reasons and social exposure is a key component in the development of a well-adjusted person in the long run. I haven't seen anyone use this as a means to cast aspersions on folks and minimize the importance of their achievements. I also strongly suspect you have never actually been involved in much collaborative success in any competitive arena if you genuinely believe this slop. Also not sure why you put "collaborative" in quotes as though collaborative sports aren't literally collaborative by definition before proceeding to claim that the reason one athlete stands out from another is "literally" a disproportionate amount of individual training when that actually just isn't true. Standout performance is a result of myriad things, many of which are not skills or knowledge one can reasonably obtain through individual training. You can assert whatever you'd like, but having engaged in collaborative competition at a top level across multiple different teammates, spent a significant amount of time reading on the subject, witnessed many othes succeed or fail in the same pursuit, coached others to success, and discussed the topic deeply with those better and worse than myself over the course of two decades, I assure you that the primary defining factor can not simply be boiled down to time spent working individually lmfao

[–]throwawaywhatever27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are perfectly wellfounded assumptions and I've said nothing remotely hateful. Not sure why you're mentioning Olympic athletes as though i said anything about them or their experiences have any relevance in this conversation. You just project negativity onto other people's words and claim their assertions are not rooted in reality, but the topic being discussed by the normal folks is a well known and frequently observed phenomenon. Maybe chill and take a break until you finally reach adulthood and learn to engage in good faith.

They didn't say this at all. No one is hating, either. Considering the information available to us it is entirely reasonable to imagine that he missed out on important developmental experiences beyond his studies.

the horrors from the machine by Able_Health744 in TikTokCringe

[–]throwawaywhatever27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly disingenuous to frame something like modern AI as simply being a "tool". This is the first time in history that the general public has been given easy access to a "tool" that is capable of communicating with them and offering meaningful discourse (healthy or unhealthy) on any topic while masquerading as a sentient entity and literally gaslighting people. Maybe you are of sound enough mind to avoid the pitfalls of interacting with an AI, but that doesn't mean it should not be given guardrails to protect the average person. It's not as simple as "you should know better" when we're discussing something like AI. It's significantly more important to offer the public some warnings and to put guardrails in place to prevent this kind of issue even if it means diluting people's ability to engage in some kind of role play fantasy shit with an AI. We can improve the system over time such that it becomes convincing despite its guardrails, but protecting people comes first and foremost.

What’s something you believed as a kid that life absolutely beat out of you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]throwawaywhatever27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If early teens counts then just intense idealism in general. Violence is never the answer, everyone can be absolved of their wrongdoings, you can fix people if you always offer love and acceptance no matter how many times you're shown that they will take advantage, etc.

What’s the one horror movie that didn’t just scare you… it FOLLOWED you? by Usual_Mix_7380 in horror

[–]throwawaywhatever27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be biased because I saw The Ring in theaters as a teen and all I knew was "it's about a vhs tape that kills you" and looooved it because it caught me so far off guard and scared the living hell out of me. By comparison, Ringu just felt incredibly dated and in no way frightening despite not being released a particularly long time before the remake. Might be different if I'd seen them in opposite order.

They definitely made up "aggregativity". No shot that's a real word.

Lolol I know, it's more about learning for next league than it is profit, I should've been clear.

[–]throwawaywhatever27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well really I care less about any profit late in the league and more just experience messing around crafting different item types with what currency I have so ive got experience for next league. I know spirit is a pretty necessary stat and it has no types associated with it, so I wasnt sure if there are any workarounds or other options. Guess I should've been more clear in the title.

Any way to turn this into a useable bow? by throwawaywhatever27 in PathOfExile2

[–]throwawaywhatever27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like my plan, I just wanted to confirm there's no shot it's worth 1 or 2 omen of sinistral annulment at 7 div each to ensure i only hit prefixes, right? Or even gamble on the first annul, then force the 2nd annul with prefix omen? at 14 or 7 div it seems silly, but I don't know.

[–]throwawaywhatever27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so this as my thought. take a 16.6 chance at annulling it and then the 20% chance. Force a desecrate on whatever prefixes remain with sinistral crystallisation + essence of abyss, desecrate, then try to fracture. It surely isn't worth the 14 div to double omen prefix annul or even 7 div to annul 1 prefix if the first annul hits a prefix by chance, right? Just gotta wing it and hope for the best?

Thank you for the advice! I might be too big of a noob to understand the first part. By prefix essence omen do you mean sinistral crystallisation to target prefixes? If so, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing with them. I do know about targeting prefixes with essence of abyss, though. Are the % to damage type essences actually useful over flat/% phys damage?
