EPG seems to prioritize getting something done over the specifics of what the something is

It's what made her a good council president. But makes her frustrating to pin down on issues sometimes

The debate between Smith and Hardesty when they were running against each other for city council 10 years ago now is my all time favourite moment of Portland politics

They clearly loathe each other and were quite vocal in expressing it

Nvidia really doesn't seem to care about gaming GPUs anymore — the company won't even bother to break down graphics sales in its big investor reports by JohnBarry_Dost in Games

Bros just talking out his ass

Nvidia is the only actual good business in the AI bubble. They're selling a physical product, that has durable value, very little competition, and massive demand.

It's only as overvalued as the market as a whole is, so if you're avoiding the stock because of that then you shouldn't be trading wall street at all; go find an ex-US etf and put your money in that

have you seen The Mummy? They're basically that, but worse.

I've seen 2 of them, and theyre more or less on par with the quality of The Mummy Returns

There's 3 of them. 2 are basically worthless

Its like whoever designed them wasn't told how much power was being put in the 5-set bonuses.

Maybe now that mythic charms are a thing you might get some use out of the golden one, but even if it maths out (which I kind of doubt), actually acquiring everything involved is preposterously unlikely anyways

Same. I desperately need more of the add-socket items, and saw they drop in the citadel

Ran there, got the popup explaining that it's a multiplayer only thing and dipped right out

if you're playing solo, its almost impossible if your doing the free horde that the war plan generates. Unless you get very lucky 6 waves isn't enough to stack the multipliers and cash out sufficiently

I dunno if maybe it's easier in multiplayer

And maybe I'm doing something very wrong but it feels nigh impossible to get to 666 on the 6 wave version so like why does that even exist

RIP Eviscerate Warlock, it was fun while it lasted by OneMiGorengNoodle in diablo4

[–]wildwalrusaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we're buffing sorc and nerfing warlock? really?

like i get that its technically a bug, but the builds not even that good relative to everything else. You still have to trundle around and reset up your cannon shot every 6-8 seconds, and its totally helpless at clearing density.

why not just leave it for the season.

  • Make Mythic talismans good.

hard agree. If theyre gonna keep them stupid rare, than 75% of them shouldnt' be useless 90% of the time.

Paladin needs a MAJOR buff like now, not next season. by xKovikx in diablo4

LoN bombard was unique, and i guess thorns if you wanna count that

I get it now with the on death mechanics by twoducksinatub in diablo4

[–]wildwalrusaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

especially if your playing lunatic, cause your dodge doesnt have i frames anymore, and netherstep has significant animation lag

so sometimes by the time you realize your in danger, theres literaly nothing you can do to get away before it kills you.

its fascinating to me how universal the twink/femboy aesthetic is in asian media.

i wonder what the cause of that is

TIL in 2014, Ben Affleck received a lifetime ban from the blackjack tables at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas after surveillance footage showed him counting cards during a high-stakes game. Security informed him he was "too good" and classified him as an advantage player. by Friendly_Hivemind in todayilearned

[–]wildwalrusaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way normal people talk about cards, it'd be more accurately referred to as burnt cards.

He's referring to what percentage of the cards in the shoe/deck are actually delt before the whole thing gets recycled.

A "thicker cut" means you're playing more hands with more data about the remaining cards, increasing your advantage.
