    Last Epoch

    It is not about acceptance of caster gear dropping for a melee character, it is the problem with time investment. I am not a person that enjoys replaying a campaign over and over just to try different builds; I like playing one build and refining it to the nth degree. I also have less free...

    Last Epoch

    Well now I wish I never bought this game. Without some sort of auction house or trading interface this just becomes D3 since people are going to complain when they drop INT items on a STR build character and vice-versa. I don't understand how these retarded studios don't just realize that not...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Rogue Traders were usually very wealthy families that were looking to go from the 1% of owning a few planets and a fleet to defend them to the.001% of owning a whole subsector or more. Their problem was that all the known subsectors are already owned so they go to the Imperium and ask for a...

    Twitch.tv

    They were asking some huge streamers to do 6 min/hr. That seems like a death sentence. A medium-ish streamer I watch, DolphinChemist, was offered a pretty heft (for him) sum but required 8 minutes per hour of ads. Hell, I would probably not mind as much if they made the ads smaller so that I...

    Fallout

    I completely agree; what I said is that the writers' rooms of this generation cannot craft a story around anything but Western progressive values being the default values that are 'good,' 'right,' and 'moral' even though the Fallout universe eats those values alive. So we are going to get...

    Fallout

    They have so much unused stuff to explore.....and they are going to fuck it up by going with the dumbest, laziest, and most rehashed plotlines imaginable. There will also be a heaping ton of STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS and a bunch of the same "end of the world morality" shit that was handled...

    Path of Exile

    Dude, the penalty for choosing the wrong class, the wrong ascendency, or the wrong gear to buy or make is huge and doesn't manifest itself fully until you have invested enough time or currency into that particular playthrough that starting over feels really bad. Also, @Penance and @mkopec...

    Path of Exile

    Complete noobs? It takes a ton of time and trial/error to understand the game mechanics. I have hundreds of hours in this game and still use 'literal paint-by-numbers' lists because of how complex this game is. It also takes dedication since you could have had a great handle on the game...

    Path of Exile

    Oh you sweet summer child; even when you are attacking super fast you can be stunned simply by the amount of hits that you are taking. And when you get stunned out of an attack you just fail to kill those monsters who get to attack again and possibly stun you. It is a vicious cycle.

    Fucking TCU, at least when OU went to the Big XII Championship as the higher seed you knew that 95% of the time they were going to get it done. Way to cost the Big XII 10 million in revenue.

    Watching Caleb William wing a 40 yard completion to a receiver whose defender slipped while being chased out of the pocket on one working leg made me fucking jealous as shit. He is twice the QB on one leg than Dillon Gabriel is 100% healthy. That being said, I hate watched the SHIT out of...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    It may be a retreat from his earlier, more radical position, but he is not sorry and he does not admit he is wrong. Instead, he says that he must balance his "correct" view of what the idiot public needs to see (DEI) vs. the idiot public that he needs to pay his salary. He only regrets that...

    Dude, I don't know a ton about the market and even I know that Powell wants to be the good guy SOOOOO badly that if he gets the slightest whiff of news regarding lowering rates that he is going to puke it out at the earliest opportunity.

    Hey guys! OU grad here but I really haven't watched much college football since I graduated about 20 years ago. Is Bob Stoops still our coach? Is 6-6 a decent record? Watching a game with over 1200 combined yards and 100 points is really exciting!

    It just seems like a no-brainer to give melee skills innate stun and damage resistance. How hard could it possibly be?

    Watching Kripp start Ruthless with melee because of an early two hander, get decimated, then switch to ranged spells and immediately clear like easy mode makes a good case that GGG is fucking retarded.

    I'm sure he is a retard and that Iger is going to come in and do something different than he did before. Maybe he will buy another franchise and drive it into unprofitability.

    I know this is a day late, and I understand why you could argue that this move should be viewed from the eyes of Disney's board and that they are the ones that thought Chapek was the weight dragging them down, but that means those ultra-savvy business people on the board are fucking myopic...

    This is disingenuous since Iger's term tracks exactly with the dominance of the MCU. So he made one decision that coincided with the end of the golden age of cinemas and then he left when they were at their peak and there were already trends that they were never going to reach those heights...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You should look at it this way: That company wants to hire you as a consultant for your expertise. Part of that expertise is that you now know your current employer is a better long term solution than the previous one. Even if they asked you if you were ethically compromised since you work at...

    Because they don't think about melee at all; they see the numbers that ranged/casters put up and balance around that. The end. Once in awhile someone says "what about melee?" Then they all look around the table quietly for a second before bursting into laughter.

    As funny as that is, people have been begging them to actually REDUCE the sheer amount of content bloat for a while now. The problem is their dumb ass cycle of adding league content into the base game, then gutting it for being too powerful, then 'making an adjustment (nerf)' to other popular...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Diablo 3 with just the gold auction house, no smart loot, skill points like D2, and some sort of end game mapping that was deeper than rifts would have been great. That isn't a ton of changes.
