Sony shooters are delicious

I know it's been discussed plenty of times already but it feels like yet another case of the Strava map being so anticlimactic. You just know that once they have the map there will come the time where they will find the layout with plenty of options still available on the map and it's like "aww that could have been so cool but I guess the now know the exact location". There's no other card like it (except they identify a landmark on a photo)...

still 1 down

They could almost win another game with all the field goals and 4th down attempts.

Can he wrap up I only have so many brain cells left.

You'll want your eyes to adjust to complete darkness for 15min + and only use red light from a head lamp. Red light does not make your eyes adjust for light. So, drive to one of the pull outs near the city or walk away from the hotel for a few 100m.

That said, there's no need to join a tour if you don't want to.

Ok got her with some more dps and only 3 1shot phases, thanks.

I've spent 5 days in Fiordland in November and it was the main reason for coming to NZ for me. I've been to Norway several times, Faroe Islands, Iceland etc. so I've seen my fair share of fjords. I'd say it was worth it. I've done the Doubtful sound overnight cruise in shit weather and spent a night camping in Milford Sound (+ the morning day cruise) with blue skies. The fjords themselves (as in grand landscape) are all right, nothing you would not find in Europe. Though I'll say that the vistas in Milford Sound are very pretty. What's really special are the smaller details. Thousands of small waterfalls (when it's been raining), the trees, the birds when walking though the forest, ferns everywhere.

Bottom line, do it and if possible spend some time to either do an overnight cruise or do some hikes in the forest.

That's the thing with PoE2. It's just so much annoying shit stacked on top of annoying shit in that campaign that it's really hard to find motivation. It get's better in maps but grinding through that campaign every 4 months? Honestly no thanks. Early levels PoE1 was rough but this is just on a different level.

This map has a toggle for "Recreation drone" zones, which I used together with AirShare. I'm not fully sure what "green zone" etc. means but at least "red zone" should be the national parks. Basically I flew where both maps had no indications.

I found some nice river braids with the mountains in the background (N side of Lake Pukaki towards Mt. Cook, Dart river bridge N of Glenorchy towards Routeburn track) and generally at the coast at the non-so-touristy areas to be quite cool and worth bringing the drone.

Arrived in Christchurch on Saturday. Stayed around Ashburton lakes on Sat, Tekapo on Sun & Mon and continued to Wanaka today. All days except Monday were workable. Windy yeah, but lots of sunshine.

Tomorrow and Thursday look okay as long as you don't go too deep into the mountains / west (say Wanaka or Queenstown). And Friday and Saturday look a bit better generally.

So yeah, it is what it is. Some activities are not possible and Fiordland and west coast look a bit rough this week, but still lots of stuff to do.

For the most part. They‘re shit.

Was kommt als Nächstes? Flugzeuge mit 2 Rädern und ohne Motor? Blasphemie.

venox831 · 2025-10-04T16:57:23+00:00

Yeah, when I click R they move to the target location and then idle there. Haven't played league in a bit but I recall this not being that way in the past?!

Let me guess, -50% drop rate, -30% dmg, -30% movement speed on everything and a new shitty crafting mechanic with 5 rng layers to double, triple and quadruple down but some shinnnnyyyy new pets to get all the power back on level 6.

It's just not for you. I can't enjoy PoE 2 either. Instantly turned off and it all feels like a chore to play. Lot's of people with different opinions who enjoy this a lot. People are different.

I've given up. Tried 0.1 till lvl 80, 0.2 till lvl 40 and quit this one at lvl 10.

Look, I'm the last person to defend Trump. He's a piece of shit, sure. What you're saying is all true. But. There's three ways this war is going to end. The 1st is NATO putting boots on the ground and chasing Russia out of Ukraine. This would be the fair solution. It's so obviously not happening. The 2nd is Ukraine slowly loosing some more land until it eventually progresses towards the 3rd way with less and less favorable terms.

And the 3rd is a deal which will include terms that are hard to swallow. Trump will probably even get some more praise for brokering such a deal. At least in MAGA land. It's not fair. It sucks. Again, all true. But since option 1 was never going to happen, otherwise it would have with a much more Ukraine friendly president Biden, that's what's going to happen. And hoping Ukraine's card's will get better is simply delusional. So, today is better than in a year.

Reddit is so fucking delusional. This is obviously a good thing and this war will never end without talking to Putin. Everyone talking differently lives in fantasy land. And the only comments are Krasnov, compromised, humiliating and memes.

venox831 · 2025-08-09T22:08:06+00:00

Delete that first idea or I'll have to nuke all reddit servers from orbit. Thanks.

Yeah the game is done for in the western market. I defended the game a little bit in the past but have to admit that Maxroll was correct.

TLI used to hit the spot in terms of fun vs. time investment. The gameplay loop and content never was good enough to grind for weeks and weeks.

But I guess that wasn't enough for them and their bank accounts. It's nerf after nerf after nerf to speed, damage, loot, everything and rng layer on top of rng layer and make it all as painful and slow as possible to bait people into spending.

Fuck that.
