@fickle glen why don't u train on some LoL or Dota games so you can get familiarized with mouse and a lot of cursing words? then come back to poe and see how it feels 🙂

[brazen vector]

macro????????????????????????? BAN THIS PERSON

[finite quail]

ew hes promoting lol and dota

[tranquil sedge]

anyway nothing is going to be a cure-all solution, you just gotta get used to it for now

[finite quail]

[cobalt blade]

i cba to set/figure out how to get this properly functional on Linux so ive been killing hand

[finite quail]

Promote em to play diablo 2 instead

[frigid wedge]

my spacebar rattles at like 50db if i hit the bottom half

[tranquil sedge]

headphones are the answer

[viscid bramble]

i'm not promoting anything lol. i said LoL because he prob is a younger person. i personally play dota2 which is cancer, like most game of than genre 🙂

[tranquil sedge]

🎧

[frigid wedge]

me with a razer mouse

[cobalt blade]

lol

[tranquil sedge]

should be easy with a razer mouse wat

their software's good iirc?

[cobalt blade]

i mean i could get it functional in linux using passthru to windows and then passing it back to linux but thats a pita

[tranquil sedge]

....that reminds me that i have a razer mouse and i haven't used the software to try that out lmfao

[finite quail]

so... you're suggesting to play games you consider to be cancer

[heady cliff]

low behavior score dota rivals even global 1 in pure entertainment

[finite quail]

yeah good idea bro

[cobalt blade]

also logitech g502 enjoyer :3

[fickle glen]

what i was thinking too

[viscid bramble]

don't u have macro in poe? like ... harbinger here .. when doing that map lol

[tranquil sedge]

i had to retire my g402 coz it was heavy, and g502 aint lighter :x

[finite quail]

No, go play diablo 2

[frigid wedge]

synapse macros are nice for autoclicking with control

[finite quail]

Like a true chad

[cobalt blade]

is pretty light if you remove the weights tbh but understandable

[fickle glen]

not interested in diablo

[finite quail]

You cant have complex macros in poe

Against tos

bannable basically

[frigid wedge]

i think i have one setup to click twice every 0.2 sec while holding lmb

[heady cliff]

i switched from very old 140g mouse to new 55g mouse

that was... an interesting experience

[tranquil sedge]

my last and current mouse are both <60g
now i can't go back lmao

[finite quail]

though macros are fine as long as its one action per one input

[frigid wedge]

its very controlled tbf

[heady cliff]

i spent a few days trying not to throw mouse into the air with every movement

[cobalt blade]

i dont miss using mice over 60-70g

[fickle glen]

60g? grams?

[finite quail]

yes, grams

[cobalt blade]

fair tho i think g502 is around 55 w/o weights :p

[tranquil sedge]

yep
previous was hyperx pulsefire haste (wired)
currently on a razer cobra (wired)

[tranquil sedge]

??

did you miss a digit there

i think its like 110-120 before weights

[finite quail]

my g203 is like 83g

sadge

[heady cliff]

i dont mind weight itself, but apparently high weight = worse movement over surface

which is a bit obvious in retrospect, but still

[frigid wedge]

i considered a model O when i was buying my current mouse

[cobalt blade]

i thought it was 90 with 55-60 without but honestly now im unsure if i confused the weight with another mice

[frigid wedge]

which is apparently 67 grams or 68 if glossy

but i wass worried it would b too light and stuff would get into the shell

[tranquil sedge]

g102/203 is ~85g
g304 with a AA battery is like ~99g
g402 is 108g
g502 is 121g with optional +18g weights

[cobalt blade]

Ah funky

[brazen vector]

I run a gladius 2 for years now and am pretty happy with it

[cobalt blade]

Guess ive just gotten too used to it

[heady cliff]

my current one has slippery bits around sensor area

[lucid gale]

I run the G203 in the office and a Glorious Model I 2 Wireless at home.
Think they're like 85 and 75 grams.

[frigid wedge]

wdym

[tranquil sedge]

yup

[heady cliff]

not only at front and back

they work wonders in preventing dust from going inside

[lucid gale]

Amusingly enough I run the Glorious with the cable as the 2.4G mode completely obliterates all nearby BT connectivity.

[tranquil sedge]

do you not find the wired mouse a lilttle annoying if you're using wireless at home?
esp. since it doesn't have a paracord/flexible cable?

[remote sparrow]

I do need a new headset and keyboard, been using my Logitech G 432's for so long the ear fabric has started to decay from use...

[frigid wedge]

icl I've been using a basilisk v2 for a couple years now and its 92g and its p well balanced

[lucid gale]

Works well enough, don't have much to snag on and the fabric cable for the Glorious is very nice and supple.

[brazen vector]

I like that weight too

[frigid wedge]

yeye

[viscid bramble]

logitech mouses are cool because they have that super scroll feature 😄

[heady cliff]

i run mouse wired and just put cable on nearby thing so it mostly hangs in the air

[split maple]

i dont even know what i got 😄 now i feel rly unserious about my gaming habit

[cobalt blade]

freescroll is in many mice

[lucid gale]

Had to replace the G203 recently as it had started to develop ghost clicks which is not-great in the office.

[crisp plinth]

Grabbed a cheaper Chinese mouse for home use and I'd do it again. Vxe is pretty good.

[brazen vector]

freescroll gets my bf kicked from PoE at times for performing too quickly, he forgets

[frigid wedge]

i can change the resistance for my scroll wheel manually to be exactly to my preference

[cobalt blade]

love free scroll though one of the best features to have in a mouse

[tranquil sedge]

ive been using this model of office keyboard ($7 at current exchange rates) for like 10+ years now lol

..but ive bought enough of them that i could have just saved up for a nice low profile mech keyboard instead

[dense rock]

G502 has served me super well so far 🙂

[cobalt blade]

i need to get around to fixing that on my g502

[frigid wedge]

my keyboard is bloody massive and idk how i havent had to replace it yet

[tranquil sedge]

the scroll on my razer mouse died a few weeks ago, gotta rma it and it'll take forever zz

[lucid gale]

If I left the Glorious powered on in my living room and went to bed with my BT earphones connected to my phone right next to me, they kept losing connection 😄

[cobalt blade]

pretty regularly double clicks on the lmb (i blame the amount of clicking in poe :p)

[lucid gale]

That "2.4 GHz" mode is pure spectrum domination.

[heady cliff]

cheap chinese mouse are amazing nowadays, they started to put good sensors there and just enough buttons/software for it to cover 90% of usecases

all that for 1/3 the price of usual brands

[frigid wedge]

i have no experience w Logitech tbh

[cobalt blade]

good products questionable software imo

atleast the newer logitech ghub stuff

[viscid bramble]

i have my G502 for like 7 years now and no problems. i actually melted away the side left plastic where i grip it with my thumb lol

[cobalt blade]

the older one was fine

[frigid wedge]

my keyboard and old mouse were some random crappy company and my last headphones and current mouse were razer

[lucid gale]

Logi microswitches were garbage for a while, not sure if they improved.

[tranquil sedge]

that was a known logitech issue for a long while tbh

but at least their rma processes were absolutely hassle free

[frigid wedge]

headphones rn are steelseries and i constantly get told the mic isnt loud enough

[dense rock]

fucking ghub is the worst fucking vibecoded piece of shit software that exist today

[frigid wedge]

;/

[tranquil sedge]

they did improve afaik

[tranquil sedge]

i legitimately dont get how mouse software can be that bad ngl

[cobalt blade]

ye took a few years for it to hit me

[heady cliff]

have you seen ASUS software?

[tranquil sedge]

like its logitech
they're not a small company
jfc spend some money on ur software

[viscid bramble]

roccat software also kinda stupid

[frigid wedge]

btw for a company with such an in depth software u would think that synapse would have more options for headphones than just: you can pick da colours

[dense rock]

ITS NOT JUST MOUSE, ITS EVERY SINGLE LG PIECE OF SHIT THAT IS FORCED TO USE THAT ABSOLUTE GARBAGE SOFTWARE

[lucid gale]

Kind of like printer drivers, always got to overcomplicate things in a way that generally doesn't help 😄

[cobalt blade]

Ngl i think its a good thing if they dont

[heady cliff]

GET DOWN

[frigid wedge]

dont what

[cobalt blade]

people should use specialized proper software for that

[dense rock]

next to ghub, it seems like flawless fucking masterpiece

[frigid wedge]

honestly i like the steelseries software for my current headphones

[cobalt blade]

(since I assume you mean no equalizer etc)

[frigid wedge]

sonar is pretty good

[fossil mural]

Any mouse that doesnt have a thumb holder is garbage

[finite quail]

i have a logitech mouse but idk what yall are taking about

[dense rock]

i especially love how i cannot change my mouses dpi or headphone volume if ghub decides it wants to think about updating

[frigid wedge]

razer synapse has no options for headphones tho

[fossil mural]

And thats most of them for some reason

[tranquil sedge]

i will say hyperx's software ('NGENUITY') felt nice to use personally

[cobalt blade]

Doesnt hyperx's one have memory leak somewhat regularly

[lucid gale]

For headset I've been rocking the same Sennheiser 323D for probably a decade now, the bundled USB soundcard died but they're sounding great plugged into a Sound Blaster X3.

[spice pecan]

I love my glorious model D- tbh

i broke the wireless receiver sadly

[lucid gale]

Creative's App can get rolled tho, had the worst glitches for a while.

[tranquil sedge]

i dont remember ngl, i haven't used it in a while

[dense rock]

sennheiser is godtier. 30€ headphones with the sound quality and feel of a 500€ headphones from any other brand

[frigid wedge]

honestly the sound for steelseries shit is fine, i just want a mic that doesnt cut out if im not trying to yell at it

[viscid bramble]

me2 and i never really needed to use the software, except for when i played a korrean mmorpg and i had to make some changes ... and they i met the software and it is poop xD

[lucid gale]

Every few months or so, seldom enough to surprise you, it just yolo pulls the left channel volume up to 100 on your headphones.

[onyx adder]

how

[brazen vector]

I like my teufel headphones

[onyx adder]

i go through like 2 headsets a year

[lucid gale]

Computers.

[cobalt blade]

i just remember a friend having it use 10-15gigs since they very rarely shutdown and looking into it to see theres regular memory leaks

[onyx adder]

teach me this arcane sorcery that can stop headsets from dying

[lucid gale]

I think it has stopped, was something really silly that caused it to happen.

[frigid wedge]

arent sennheiser like, renowned for product quality

[tranquil sedge]

oh yea @cobalt blade one upside of g402 for poe was just how fucking easy it was to press the main switches, so little force required

it felt so effortless

[lucid gale]

Oh right, I've replaced the earpads on it once, as they started getting a bit worn and bleh.

[tranquil sedge]

just the stupid weight of the overall mouse dammit

[cobalt blade]

Goood actuation is pog

[tranquil sedge]

otherwise its shape and main+side clicks are great

its middle click requires surprising effort tho

[frigid wedge]

me with 5 different ways i can bind keys to my scroll wheel

[cobalt blade]

same :3

left and right sides

[heady cliff]

three of which are bannable by anticheats?

[cobalt blade]

they basically never get used but they exist

[lucid gale]

One of the selling points for them for me was that they're very transparent to outside sound.
I can listen to music and play games on my loudspeakers while having mates on voice in my headset; with the audio I play seldom coming through the mic.

[tranquil sedge]

my current headphones keep cutting audio out on one side unless i press the volume wheel really hard lol
dunno what went wrong with the wiring in it but thankfully pressing it hard seems to fix it for now

[viscid bramble]

plantronics good audio quality but physical problems, plastics gets destroyed in less than one year. hyperX also good but the pads get destroyed after a year

[lucid gale]

The only thing I notice when taking them off after a night of chatting is that they colour the outside sound a wee bit, so the EQ feels a bit off afterwards.

[frigid wedge]

none of which are because its just replacing other functions with button presses?

[tranquil sedge]

its only bannable if its not 1:1

like infinite scroll macros if you have a free-spinning scroll wheel i think is one of them

[frigid wedge]

i think replacing mouse 3, scroll up, scroll down, repeat scroll left and repeat scroll right are all pretty singular button uses

esp considering i have the resistance on my scroll wheel in such a way that it ticks instead of rolls

[tranquil sedge]

yeh

[tranquil sedge]

teach me too

[spice pecan]

based speaker gang here

fuck headphones

[frigid wedge]

sorry lemme get the official view in synapse

wow

[lucid gale]

For the office I brought my own Audio-Technica ATH-R70X, light enough to wear all day and don't interfere with my glasses.

[tranquil sedge]

ambient sound level in india is so high i could never unless i turned off the fans in my room and shut the windows

[frigid wedge]

so bannable

[frigid wedge]

sorry i dont live with my loving husband that lets me do what i want
-.-

[spice pecan]

he turns up the tv so loud that it shakes the floor sometimes

[spice pecan]

rip

[frigid wedge]

i live with my parents, the floors shake but its much more upsetting for me

.-.

[viscid bramble]

u should try playing games on a 5.1 audio system with subwoofer. really cool in some games. sadly i don't think poe has that

[spice pecan]

earbuds hurt my ears and headphones give me headaches after a while

[fossil mural]

So true

[lucid gale]

Can't wait to enjoy the menu screen music while chilling in queue.

[wintry lily]

get better health or ears

[split maple]

idt i played poe with sound once

[cobalt blade]

is sensitivity clutch a dpi down well pressing it button

[split maple]

like ik music is good from reveals

[cobalt blade]

thats sucha funny name for it

[tranquil sedge]

even over-ear ones where the pads aren't pressing on your ears, + open back for airflow?

[spice pecan]

i live in the US, can't do that

[spice pecan]

i'm sure there's a pair out there that would work for me, but idk

[wintry lily]

then torture yourself with the etymotics

[frigid wedge]

my headphones are kinda heavy now

[celest skiff]

How long have embedded youtube videos looked the way they do right now? This is fugly

[remote sparrow]

I am a headphone enyoer I have permanent headphone dent on my head from them. To be fair I wear a headset at work aswell for 12 shifts aswell

[fossil mural]

Well hello, fellow weird ears fellah

[tranquil sedge]

visit a store to try some on honestly, ask/look for over ear open back headphones with nice big earcups

[frigid wedge]

maybe? i dont actually know how tf to click it

[wintry lily]

I am personally deranged, I have 5 iems and 1 philips shp9500

[spice pecan]

yeah i might do that if my speakers ever become kill

[tranquil sedge]

next step is gonna be asking mythik to post ear pics to recommend him headphones

[cobalt blade]

is it not just a button on the side

[frigid wedge]

smh just braid the top of your hair

[lucid gale]

I remembered to check before the league!

[frigid wedge]

the side has 2 buttons

so idk where it is

[viscid bramble]

i only use headphones for disc so i can yell at my friends. otherwise i always play games on speakers 5.1

[cobalt blade]

oh yeah i need to delete a char too

[split maple]

a gentle ad for extra char slots?

[cobalt blade]

ill worry bout that tmr

[cobalt blade]

faaair

[spice pecan]

i recently just went through and stripped/deleted like 8 standard characters

[remote sparrow]

Nah Im rocking the short hair average white dude haircut so can't braid it

[lucid gale]

Baleeted my two placeholder Phrecians:

[remote sparrow]

I tried but I am really attached to some of my characters names

[onyx adder]

strong

do u have fixed desks at ggg or do u hotdesk

i use earbuds at work because hotdesking makes large things annoying

[lucid gale]

Personal desks with your stationary computer and screens.

[fossil mural]

Finally, a sane office

[onyx adder]

nice ok

[frigid wedge]

i swear my old mouse used to use mouse 4 if i was holding control on my keyboard and clicked mouse 5

[fossil mural]

Next step is no open space

[onyx adder]

ggg lookin more attractive to work for by the minute

[cobalt blade]

[celest skiff]

Anyways, voided leagues shouldn't be part of the character limit change my mind

[remote sparrow]

Do you know Jatin from Q.A?

[hazy kiln]

I don't think hotdesking would be feasible in a workplace that requires desktop computers as opposed to laptops

[wintry lily]

office planners : i hear depressing cubicles with tiny room space.

[fossil mural]

Still better

[split maple]

is hotdesking even legal

[wintry lily]

Honestly, true

[split maple]

like in hellspaces like usa sure but in sane parts of world?

[onyx adder]

tf is a cubicle joey

[tranquil sedge]

why would it not be

[onyx adder]

its 2026 everyone is open plan these days

[fossil mural]

Remember incredibles?

[spice pecan]

could be a privacy concern idk

[wintry lily]

Not all of them. I've seen a few offices in Huawei that still run cubicles.

[tranquil sedge]

work data saved in your login profiles, limit access to company computers/network?

[split maple]

dude we have enough safety regulations there even keyboard color is mandated

[celest skiff]

I don't think you're supposed to leave stuff at the desk when you leave

[frigid wedge]

i dont think you're supposed to leave the desk when you leave

im taking it with me

[wintry lily]

Okay future manager material.

[remote sparrow]

Idk my work use hotdesks but we are in a control room so Lil different

[brazen vector]

I assume the stuff I left on my desk is still there when I left 1.5 years ago

[frigid wedge]

no no, you misunderstood, i am taking the desk on my way out

it is mine now

[tranquil sedge]

i don't mind cubicles as a concept
but practically i hate how they're almost always designed in a stupid and uncomfortable manner

[celest skiff]

I swear I remember a youtube video about rules in german offices banning bright colors or something but I could be misremembering like 18 different things at once.

[wintry lily]

I mean, so does the inventor

[crisp plinth]

Yeah the Germans hate fun

[split maple]

do bright colors even exists in germany

[crisp plinth]

We ban everything

[split maple]

okay maybe in berlin

[wintry lily]

Faust is colorful enough

[viscid bramble]

maybe we do need a "ban too much rgb" law

[crisp plinth]

If they knew my name was bright green I'd be formally executed by the regime

[brazen vector]

except alcohol!

[wintry lily]

Is he illegal or just in berlin

[frigid wedge]

lets make sure the work space is specifically setup so we can see the entire space from the primary walkway of the building, entirely eliminating the isolation part and instead preventing bonding between adjacent coworkers

[tranquil sedge]

i don't hate the idea of having some walls between me and coworkers
but it would be nice if they tried making them comfortable LOL

[crisp plinth]

They don't care about your comfort

They want you to be there so you can work less efficiently than at home

But they can see their drones

[tranquil sedge]

fucking true

[wintry lily]

Iirc the original idea was that the walls werent meant to be literally a tiny ass square room

But if you can stuff more people into one area, chances are someones gonna do it

[frigid wedge]

office cubicles are just the cheap way to give ppl their own room

[tranquil sedge]

dude if the room had a nice desk a nice chair and an a/c and i could use peripherals of my choice i'd be a happy fucking camper

[brazen vector]

[frigid wedge]

without any of the benefits

[tranquil sedge]

like just bribe me with shiny peripherals and a fancy computer and give me a/c fuck im easy to please

[wintry lily]

just bribe me with my own ac and an okay pc

[crisp plinth]

Best I can do is fancy computer but 5 competing anti viruses and subsidized meals

[frigid wedge]

just let me stay at home

[wintry lily]

I'll take the deal over loud noises in every direction

[tight plinth]

I once bought a second monitor with my own money to work more efficiently and company said you cant have thta

[spice pecan]

norton wants to know your location

[tranquil sedge]

same

[crisp plinth]

Norton isn't in sorry

[wintry lily]

avast wants to update

[frigid wedge]

best i can do is a lenovo thinkpad and no allowance for your own peripherals

[spice pecan]

wtf kind of workplace wouldn't let you have an extra monitor

are they worried that you're gonna watch youtube on it

[frigid wedge]

yes

[tranquil sedge]

coz policies

[viscid bramble]

you need the extra monitor so u can have discord on it

[tranquil sedge]

dude i could legitimately have tripled my productivity if i had an extra 2-3 monitors at my work

but something something policy

[hazy kiln]

I gotta say I like open plan when it works. Like at GGG it feels like basically all upside, easier to see if people are free/talk to people and can overhear/drop in on relevant conversations.

[crisp plinth]

If you sit near an architect in our office you get 24/7 meetings passively

[cobalt blade]

Absolute dog shit piece of software

[wintry lily]

Sure but most offices dont need that.

[crisp plinth]

It's super ass

[celest skiff]

open plan when someone has a weird tic or is farty

[hazy kiln]

For sure

[cobalt blade]

as a highly introverted person sounds like horror

[frigid wedge]

see that would be fine if u could be at home

[tranquil sedge]

the kind of company/industry you're working in is also probably a helping factor?

[fossil mural]

Just rise in position high enough that you get a room

[lucid gale]

Don't think I've ever met or talked in person, but it's a very familiar name 😄

[split maple]

issue i got with open office currently is that in the end bugfix priority is directly corelated to how close the person who cares about bug has desk to you

[wintry lily]

Like, I don't think a company whose entire job is to be an accounting firm needs open plan offices.

[tranquil sedge]

then those rooms have glass walls and then people feel like they can walk in any time they want because that's how it works and its your job to talk to them

[frigid wedge]

if ur too good at ur job u get put in speaking roles

[onyx adder]

XDD

[crisp plinth]

Obtain flyswatter

[onyx adder]

i do like more open offices because it makes knowledge sharing way way way easier

training juniors in closed offices or worse via wfh is actually impossible

[crisp plinth]

Training juniors in 2026

Buddy we have Grok now

[wintry lily]

Just let AI train the junior and have faust look over his work

[fossil mural]

Little friend claymore helps with that issue

[wintry lily]

[lucid gale]

In my last workplace I used to have share a room with a single colleague and I pretty much always had noise-cancelling headphones on there as most things bothered me.
This office works better in some way, it can get a bit ambiently intense at times but generally good; and I really enjoy the organic interaction.

[wintry lily]

Wanna know what's worse? Open space office, but its a call center.

Just loud talking everywhere

[split maple]

zao blink twice if you want us to save you

[fossil mural]

Thats basically all the slavery dens

[wintry lily]

So all companies nowadays that have their own call center.

[remote sparrow]

You have summoned my old workplace trauma... with that statement

[crisp plinth]

That's why I go on fridays

It's like 4 people in the building

It's a huge win

[wintry lily]

Actually no, it should be slightly better now

[fossil mural]

Thank god I will never have to work office

[wintry lily]

because they use ai

[fossil mural]

Or apply for a job

[wintry lily]

[fossil mural]

In this day and age

[onyx adder]

thats why u need to do it in person these days lmao

[spice pecan]

i worked as a singer, so my office was mostly just churches and church basements

never bothered getting my own studio for teaching

[crisp plinth]

I know. I have a person senior to me unable to do anything correct even with ai.

[onyx adder]

ive told 3 separate interns this past 6 months that putting company sensitive information onto a non company LLM is a breach that can get them kicked out so dont fucking do it

[crisp plinth]

Yet people tell me I'll be replaced within 6 - 12 months for years now

[fossil mural]

Bruh grok is faster

Surely they dont store all that information

And then sell it

[wintry lily]

Senior in position, not even intern in actuality.

[crisp plinth]

I wonder how much info leaks even with the allowed llms

[onyx adder]

im convinced the real reason senior management likes ai so much is its good at their primary skillset

that being it makes really fucking good looking powerpoint slides

[fossil mural]

Making bad decisions?

[crisp plinth]

I assume it's cos the ai always blows them for any stupid idea

[wintry lily]

They'll still do it.

[crisp plinth]

"wow what a novel approach go you!"

[split maple]

speaking a lot while not saying much

agreed

[onyx adder]

bro i know thats why u cant leave em at home

[wintry lily]

I've seen people post confidential information in an insurance company through whatsapp.

and facebook messenger OF ALL THINGS

[cobalt blade]

like a week ago Microsoft reported copilot reading confidential marked emails

[onyx adder]

IT security is a confusing concept to anyone under 25

[split maple]

and anyone above 45

[wintry lily]

this is all because they fucking banned USB for anything not a keyboard and a mouse

[split maple]

you need that lil sweetspot of age

[fossil mural]

Well, they are used to oversharing everything

[crisp plinth]

Yeah happens all the time yet bosses don't care

[frigid wedge]

at least WhatsApp is encrypted

mostly

[wintry lily]

Yeah, under facebook

Do you trust them.

[crisp plinth]

It's like having secret/confidential tags on office documents

Makes it easier for ms to find the good shit

[frigid wedge]

i trust it more than using some random other messages system

but i dont trust it much more

[fossil mural]

Just encrypt it yourself

[frigid wedge]

encrypt dn

[fossil mural]

And then pass the key on paper towels

[wintry lily]

I fucking wish

I've been called over to help unzip files.

[split maple]

nah man thats old meta

just grab my public key

[crisp plinth]

@onyx adder you might enjoy astroloot btw

Cute little game

[wintry lily]

"Maam I cant unzip files"
"WDYM YOU CANT, ITS YOUR JOB"
"There's a password"

None of these tops sticky note on monitor with a password though.

[fossil mural]

But how will a private detective get into the computer otherwise

[wintry lily]

Via the wear and tear on your keyboard duh

[fossil mural]

My password will be wasd

[umbral crag]

I have a 60+ years old colleague who doesn't update his pc and apps

[fossil mural]

Smart

Updating anything in 2026 is a trap

[stoic horizon]

make it wsad to confuse people

[umbral crag]

Asks why his excel doesnt work like ours

Excel 2007

[fossil mural]

Okay excel you can update

[wintry lily]

Become ungovernable qwkl

[fossil mural]

rewq

[umbral crag]

Every 1 out of 5 excel file we send him or he sends us usually gets corrupted coz of mismatch versions rofl

But he still refuses to update

Faints

[cobalt blade]

make the failed password hint on xp?(Idk if its in modern windows versions tbh) just give you the password

[fossil mural]

Do it while he isnt looking

Just say its a forced update from Microsoft

Hell skimp out

[umbral crag]

i got a shit ton of monster train to play

and then mewgenics

i heard astroloot was good

i'll add it to the pile

[brazen vector]

astroloot is fun but AI slop

[stoic horizon]

baseg album

[crisp plinth]

AI slop is reserved for shitty things in my book game is fun so not slop

[brazen vector]

but people think those tung tung sahur facebook AI meme videos are fun too :s

Y'all really gonna talk about anything but poe huh

I guess poe is deadge

its tuesday?

[crisp plinth]

You also did

Bring the topic

[icy zinc]

Still going through monster train? Thats cool mewgenics is a neat 100-200 hour game to full complete asw

game backlog do be huge

before leeg

[fickle glen]

The graphics on pc are pretty nice

[icy zinc]

i cant seem to put my hands to finish stalker series and assassin creed and yakuza

[fickle glen]

I like that they make the game pause whenever you have low ping

[past mantle]

Big game to big game to big game.

[fickle glen]

On Xbox it just keeps going lol

[icy zinc]

Indeed, its a lifelong process

[remote sparrow]

Honestly Im playing a bunch of card games with REAL poeple in a PHYSICAL STORES with my time rn, mostly riftbound and Sorcery. But I'll be back to poe1 soon

[crisp obsidian]

Nowae

[icy zinc]

when my pc was weak i couldnt launch those

[past mantle]

I dunno if I have energy for anything over 20 hours any more.

[icy zinc]

i have played a few into each series

true

[past mantle]

Actually thats not true.

[icy zinc]

how the tide turns

[past mantle]

I'm playing the other poe. No, not that, the other other one. Pillars.

[icy zinc]

the turnbased lolo

i dont see what people find in ig

[past mantle]

Nah, not turn based.

[icy zinc]

dos and bg more polished

which pillars?

[remote sparrow]

OH damn I haven't heard of that game in a mortal age what a banger

[past mantle]

Its genuinely insane going through pillars and seeing just how much overlap it has with this poe.

[past mantle]

The 1st one.

[icy zinc]

do you think ggg devs opened poe and saw other pillars of eternity and be like hmm

same abbreviation

also add unique from allan poe

[onyx adder]

new content brother

[past mantle]

I do want to play dreadfire after. After that doing pathfinder 1 and 2 and at some point baldurs 3 too with friends.

[onyx adder]

new mode and 2 new tribes

i got so many combos to complete

[icy zinc]

ah ye

[onyx adder]

the new mode is crushing my ass tho

[icy zinc]

i pinged the italian the other day but hes playinv it more

i got mt1 and mt2 on steam

[past mantle]

Lmao.

[icy zinc]

hows new tribes called

[onyx adder]

railforged

and wurmkin

wurmkin is returning from mt1

[past mantle]

I out do much time into mt1 and 2 and couldn't keep going any more.

[onyx adder]

with balance changes

[icy zinc]

aye railforg and maps

[past mantle]

Whats the ascension equivalent of mt?

I forget the name.

[brazen vector]

My issue is, everything happens at once this time
around
WoW midnight release
PoE 3.28
LE season
Fellowship new season

[icy zinc]

its called ascension

[past mantle]

Is new LE even interesting looking?

[icy zinc]

as well

[onyx adder]

covenant

[past mantle]

Oh lol.

Oh okay it was different.

[brazen vector]

No idea and its on the lower end of the priority list

They get corruptions now akin to poe

[past mantle]

Aren't they also just called corruption and do exactly the same thing?

[brazen vector]

Yes

[icy zinc]

game overlaps

sts mt

[brazen vector]

Definitely not to be confused with yhe corruption mechanic in their endgame

[icy zinc]

you got sts2 on march 5

[past mantle]

I did like 10 runs in mt2 and kept going up in covenant and it never felt harder so I dropped off it.

[past mantle]

I want to make a very poor taste joke and I know I'd get bonked for it.

[remote sparrow]

Idk if this counts but Deadlock had a Massive update recently and might be worth a Look.

[crisp plinth]

Whenever Volvo makes it public maybe

[past mantle]

I've been playing a lot of that. New characters pretty decent now that they got neutered to not be insufferable.

[brazen vector]

Censor the bad part with glorp

[icy zinc]

💀

Glorptd

[hazy kiln]

Apparently they might change the name of the endgame scaling mechanic to remove the confusion

[past mantle]

Would make sense.

[remote sparrow]

I haven't played since like before shop rework I should probably look into it but the movment is such a big draw for game

[brazen vector]

Ah didnt know that part, im not really following LE news x3

[past mantle]

I think its time to start cracking open the thesaurus and start naming things words that barely fit.

[sly basalt]

and blue breach

[brazen vector]

Breach 1.0 or 2.0?

[sly basalt]

1.0

[brazen vector]

Already a better game /hj

[icy zinc]

Breach 3.0 electric boogaloo

[sly basalt]

and their vaal orbs are so copypasted that when they teased them they had the same description like in poe

[crisp plinth]

Every arpg copypasted from d2 anyway

[heady cliff]

can we pray to viper for ggg to remove walled breaches?

[crisp plinth]

Why hide the fact - might as well keep the terminology similar

[hazy kiln]

If their naming processes are anything like ours the thesaurus is already kept nice and busy

[heady cliff]

or is he too low in diety hierarchy

[past mantle]

Shop rework was good. Soul rework too. More additions to the map for movement to certain characters. Also feels like game eats inputs less now too.

[remote sparrow]

Mmmm If I can convince my 30+ dad gamer crew to give game a go might have a chance

[icy zinc]

Still no roles in deadlock so its pure freestyle

All 4 of his abilities are movement.

Ye I saw his teaser and a bit of gameplay, I may give it ago once I finish my work Set and have free time again

[past mantle]

Or celeste since her whole deal is having huge stamina and stamina regen and just jumping around.

[remote sparrow]

Doesn't she also have lower gravity than normal?

[icy zinc]

Unicorn rush gal

[past mantle]

Wouldn't be surprised.

She kinda has everything. 😅

[remote sparrow]

All I know of her is one yt short of Eido playing Celeste with kpop in background while he flys across map like a speed deamon

[past mantle]

The kids yearn for movement shooters.

[brazen vector]

I cant do movement shooters

[icy zinc]

It has a lot of freedom movement that is true

[spice pecan]

quake movement my beloved

god i love quake so much

[fossil mural]

Dont let jiji into the chat room

Hell have a stroke

[brazen vector]

Quake, the marvel hit character Quake that never appeared in the MCU? That Quake?

[past mantle]

That man lives in perpetual anguish anyways.

[tawdry olive]

[fossil mural]

Thats my secret, cap

[brazen vector]

[past mantle]

Which quake movement?

Or all of them at once in Champions?

[spice pecan]

Q3a/QL/champions

although I do love crouch sliding, i mained strogg in champions

[past mantle]

God damn it I don't have any emotes. I can't do glorpnod.

[remote sparrow]

Brother if you like crouch sliding Deadlock is up your ur alley u get infinite ammo while sliding its a core mechanic to be sliding around as much as possible

[brazen vector]

[spice pecan]

is it like apex sliding

or is it q4/qc crouch sliding

[fossil mural]

I hate dodgeroll in that game

[spice pecan]

because the former, i do not like at all

[opal ingot]

Whaaat

[spice pecan]

but the latter is my shit

[opal ingot]

Holy jung and ziz

[past mantle]

It's closer to quake than apex.

[fossil mural]

Jung lmao

[brazen vector]

ZzzzzzzzIzzzzzzzzzzzaran

[past mantle]

There's a Sorlag stand-in whose whole kit is based on sliding.

[spice pecan]

well sorlag is a bhop character

[fossil mural]

Session based pvp games were a mistake anyway

[past mantle]

Sorlag stand in terms of lizard woman spit at you than movement wise.

[fossil mural]

[remote sparrow]

To steal the top comment of reddit jung will ask about his new build and get it nerfed on the call 100%

[humble condor]

jung getting an interview is crazy

[spice pecan]

ah i see

every time i have to play against her in qc i die a little inside

[humble condor]

ew why the fuck do i have poe2 in my name

[opal ingot]

I gotta watch this interview

My life depends on it

[past mantle]

A good Sorlag is something else.

[spice pecan]

but this must have been a new thing, i played deadlok a tiny bit when it first released

[fossil mural]

Has jung ever been on an interview

[past mantle]

Yeah, quite a lot newer.

[fossil mural]

Better game

[humble condor]

[opal ingot]

Yeah poe1 is rushslop

[spice pecan]

just have a default stack bigger than slash's and i might give it a try

[hexed mountain]

at least he will get a weird interaction nerfed , not kill a new skill before release looking at you mr ziggy

[humble condor]

im rooting for new skills for marauder... why do i have to choose between slams or rf

[remote sparrow]

Im hoping my 96% block Mr lucksack x3 no helmet gaming build survives. Not sure on skill yet thou

[past mantle]

It's of course slower but it's also very methodical and if you can aim while going fast you're going to make people suffer no matter how good at aiming they are.

[spice pecan]

i'm playing wander jugg idk what you talkin bout

[humble condor]

as a league start?

[opal ingot]

Tornado shot berserker

[humble condor]

with what skill

[spice pecan]

oh no, not as a leaguestarter lol

kinetic bolt, str stacker

[remote sparrow]

Bruh Str stacker wander is a staple

[humble condor]

im talking league start yeah

[spice pecan]

not gonna hit 2.6k methinks

[past mantle]

I would like for them to add some more clusters to the tree again.

I should make a bingo.

[spice pecan]

please no clusters

[hexed mountain]

a new brand plz

a new trigger too

[humble condor]

they just need to rework some clusters

[spice pecan]

we need a brand rework/huge balance pass

[brazen vector]

A new permanent minion!

[crisp obsidian]

wdym

[spice pecan]

pbod being the only endgame viable brand is so stupid

[opal ingot]

That sounds cool

[crisp obsidian]

marauder can run almost any skill in the game

[humble condor]

when you say run

what do you mean by that

[spice pecan]

frosty is talking about league start

[crisp obsidian]

I mean that you can pick almost any skill in the game

click enough attributes

[tight plinth]

wonder at which act is holy hammer gonna be available

[crisp obsidian]

and equip it on marauder

and it works

[crisp obsidian]

act 10.1

act 14, ruthless only

what arpg you guys recommend thats like poe for me to play until 3.28 ?

[vale compass]

poe 3.27

[spice pecan]

[remote sparrow]

POE2

[spice pecan]

oh god no

anything but that

[past mantle]

What do you like about poe?

[crisp plinth]

Pd2

[frigid wedge]

isnt last epoch/torchlight p good

i hear a lotta ppl rave about torchlight

[remote sparrow]

Diablo 2 - warlock lel

[opal ingot]

Xd

[frigid wedge]

i think fubgun wasn't invited bc he finds bugs and abuses the shit outta them w like 3 other ppl

[hexed mountain]

played a bit of LE before 3.27 was decent and fun

endgame felt a bit like running in circles though

[past mantle]

LE sure is Diablo 3+, maybe another 10 updates and it'll have something going on.

[sly basalt]

played that for free, for like 5h but thats about it

[stoic horizon]

its decent if you dont mind the fact its p2w and you wont be able to fully juice content without whaling

[frigid wedge]

ah

ew

[crisp plinth]

The story is also snoozer and there's 0 difficulty or thinking involved there

[stoic horizon]

you just build glass cannon until you can afford to drop damage for tank

and yeah the campaign is even unfinished

buuuut it has catgirls in bikinis

all in the settlers of kalguur clone tho

[frigid wedge]

what

[stoic horizon]

also most male characters are getting genderbend skins

[frigid wedge]

...

so like

remind me what was wrong w it?

[past mantle]

It's a mobile game.

[frigid wedge]

ah

[stoic horizon]

apparently in recent years their pc numbers pulled ahead mobile

at least outside of cn

[past mantle]

Mobile game in the way it operates rather than what people play it on.

[stoic horizon]

yeah

makes sense

it also can turn all builds into autobombers

which also plays into the mobile part

[crisp plinth]

Oh yeah the game also feels super floaty and not as direct as many other arpgs

All in all not my game

[stoic horizon]

and the meta is not that diverse

you have like 5 builds flating around that are just muuuch better than the rest

[surreal musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgI1eua4lS4 😄 we won

[stable pumice]

Well you can find new build and make 6th build happen, but you know how poe players are mostly just sheeps following the Shepard

[hexed mountain]

low quality bait

[stable pumice]

Not even xD ppl are just sheeps and dont like to think

Let alone read xD

[crisp plinth]

Everyone dumb but me btw

[dense rock]

They can read... It just doesnt mean they understand or remember anything they have read

[grizzled lily]

nice prisoners gate layout

[atomic crane]

Some people drain their brain energy in work or whatever

Plus poe 1 is punishing

Can't really try things until you have a big budget

[opal ingot]

And some people just really don't find joy in making their own build work.They just like to blast or skip the process of doing their own thing

To them, it's like...

Why spend hours and hours making a build when I can use a pob of someone who's played the game thousands of hours more than me and is guaranteed to be better than whatever I make anyway?

[split maple]

anyways when you take a build to high invest it wont look at all similiar to pobs you followed (except in cases of cookie cutter builds like strstacker)

[dense rock]

ah the classic method of using 10x the currency to archieve 0.5x the output

[remote sparrow]

Tru this is a concept I see in a few games like you need your 10k hrs or whatever and suddenly its just clicks and you can start making anything work because you know how the game works and can start making the "meta" eg Card games deck building or Moba item builds or Poe builds

[frigid wedge]

me playing every build

[dense rock]

"i prefer it this way"

[frigid wedge]

i do

im a picky little shit

https://tenor.com/view/mumei-nanashi-mumei-hololive-smug-smug-face-gif-15655207240310760457

[dense rock]

My brilliance is only overshadowed by my ability to never choose the right option

[remote sparrow]

I prefer exploring my ideas usually OR going for the 100% known beat meta build melting game into goo making money to fuel my crackpot bad ideas

[opal ingot]

I can play 5k or 10k more hours, you won't see me making my own builds from scratch 😛

Best I can do Is slight tweaks

[dense rock]

meme tier builds ftw. Anyone can take the current FOTM build to endgame. Not many people can meme their way to success

[frigid wedge]

i take inspiration bc i cant make a skill tree to save my damn life

[stoic horizon]

real

[remote sparrow]

Ehh Also after 10k hrs game feels boring if you just follow along like you need novelty after awhile.

[hexed mountain]

me knowing the right choice for leaguestarter but still deciding to coinflip the new skill

[opal ingot]

What I would like to see in the future is me offering mirror services

That would be cool

[frigid wedge]

me knowing the right choice for leaguestarter and instead deciding to play fucking shield charge in keepers

[remote sparrow]

Im working on new build concept with lucky glad but I have no clue how to leauge start it likely just go block stacking smite glad until I can respec

[spice pecan]

i know mathil did this years and years ago

[dense rock]

im sure i can make this new mechanic work flawlessly
Somehow ends up playing slight variation of the same fucking minion build i leaguestart everytime

[frigid wedge]

it was ignite

[spice pecan]

yeah

[hexed mountain]

mule KF then play KF fusillade totems, basically the same tree as KF palladin

[spice pecan]

with like, immolate support or some weird shit

[fossil mural]

To get access to holy hammers you need to kill maven in hc ssf ruthless

[remote sparrow]

But totems are iicky

[spice pecan]

totems gucci

[hexed mountain]

the clear is really good tbh on KF totems

[fossil mural]

Forstblink totems

[dense rock]

totems enable stupid shit like selfcurse dark pact and shit like that

[spice pecan]

if the AI on them wasn't so atrocious i would play this again

[hexed mountain]

also enables KF before you get unique jewelry

the gatling part i mean , you can play it till like red maps without the gatling then it flops a bit

[grizzled lily]

im gonna follow whatever fubgun follows and be happy :D

[remote sparrow]

I really dislike totem playstyle personally and would rather just play other things

[remote sparrow]

I will happily profit craft your gear and mark it up x5 tyty

[dense rock]

I want to make something stupid like totems that summon brands that summon minions that you explode via some mechanic

Absolutely bloated shit

[spice pecan]

you'd get extreme less damage penalties

[dense rock]

irrelevant

[fossil mural]

Go you, not confirming to society

[remote sparrow]

Falling zombie Arcanist brand sabo

[grizzled lily]

im part of the sheep herd bro

[dense rock]

I want there to be like a 1-3 workday pause between pressing of button and dmg happening

[remote sparrow]

Hey that's ok im just happy to make $ from the crowd

[grizzled lily]

anyways im prob gonna have like 10 league starters in mind and all of a sudden search peuget's league starter

and be happy

say whatever u want ab him

[dense rock]

ooooooooh... Traps that shit out brands that shit out totems that shit out minions. Preferrably summoning stuff so fast that they barely have time to perform their function before being resummoned automatically

[grizzled lily]

his builds are act good

[onyx adder]

Brands cant place totems

[gritty epoch]

Where teasers?

[dense rock]

FUCK GGG for restricting my idiocy like this... racism...

wonder what the most convoluted possible way of dealing dmg is

[atomic crane]

Too early

wait another 12 hours

[grizzled lily]

therye sleeping

[limber lance]

We need a big ol teaser today

[remote sparrow]

Its 11:45pm at night in nz rn soo...

[low lava]

just about to head to bed then 😂

[heady cliff]

traps can still place mines?

or was it other way around?

[whole bluff]

Mines can traps

[low lava]

Anyone seen snaps video, has it really gotten that bad ?
I started playing in necropolis. And i guess i just never really felt it.

[elder marlin]

How abt the other way around?

[whole bluff]

Traps can't mines

[elder marlin]

Sadge

[whole bluff]

It doesn't even have enough grammar to say which is what though 😅

But lightning trap mines are doable, to stop trolling here

I wouldn't expect pyroclast mine traps to work, but I actually haven't tested nor a source

[elder marlin]

[low lava]

O_o

[tight plinth]

guys

when is teasers?

[elder marlin]

Some1 lied

[gritty epoch]

Anytime now

[low lava]

[elder marlin]

[whole bluff]

In the old times, it always felt like they were very strict on holding back fun to me. There were some wonky things unintentedly strong like double dipping, but it always felt to me like they held a lot back. Then around 3.0-3.5 somewhere, that changed and game exploded in speed and numbers culminating in ritual (3.13) or ultimatum (3.14?). Then they made big nerfs in expedition (3.15?) and people got mad. Some nerfs were lightened or undone and then things started ramping again until kalandra (3.19?)

[low lava]

shesh yea that is no fun either.. Just from watching as well, it felt like. THey kept taking, without solving. Or just adding a new thing, to then nerf it again.

[deep kite]

What is holy hammers league start in poe1

[low lava]

Who knows :3

[spice pecan]

what if holy hammers make maces playable again

[whole bluff]

I feel like the rampant power creep was between early 3.X era up to but not including expedition, anyway

[gritty epoch]

In the old times hh was seen as the holy grail ultimate item and most player wont afford one

[onyx adder]

yea right

it'll be useable with axes

[whole bluff]

Where we got delirium, maybe influenced gear, betrayal, fossils

[onyx adder]

in which case everyone will use it with axes

or staves

[low lava]

Yeah i remember seein people complain about HH and MB was like. The drop.
But now, people can get it in less then a week.

[onyx adder]

in which case everyone will use it with staves

[sly basalt]

This is peak

[remote sparrow]

Yea... it used to be bit to crazy like old Nemisis rare stackinh was bonkers but game after archnemisis has never felt as good

[low lava]

Wish i could have been there to see it myself. But yeah, i do hope we get to see some major changes to loot in general.

[whole bluff]

It's kinda fucked that looking at poe2 which seems to have forked partly from 3.15 (expedition, the league before change to armour formula for example in scourge), and what they didn't include, it seems they could consider the patches that gave us harvest, fossils, beasts, influence, to be mistakes?

[gritty epoch]

Imo there is a part of expectations due to leagues of t17, risk scarabs, affliction and Merc quant

[low lava]

probably. Or two different goals.

[gritty epoch]

In the old times the ground loot wasn't as they hyped

[whole bluff]

I kinda feel like modern poe1 was born out of small indie game around 3.X to 3.16

[gritty epoch]

Jonathan hates poe1 probably

[low lava]

Could it probably be more the direction of the game.
Where 2, is more what the wanted poe to be.

[whole bluff]

Almost definitely, I think

[spice pecan]

poe classic when

[gritty epoch]

At the rate, 2027

[whole bluff]

I wouldn't really want classic, unless classic means 3.16

Or 3.13

[low lava]

i even think, they most likely have old patches/versions just layin on cold storage 😂

[stoic horizon]

3.0.0

[tough cove]

theres definitely a section of GGGS brain trust that wants a harder slower more sloggy game

[gritty epoch]

Sentinel league pog

[tough cove]

despite what the majority of their customer base tells them

[craggy olive]

2.5 breach

[low lava]

I just hope, they dont keep ruining what people want.

or force things on you.

[gritty epoch]

Insert jonathan middle finger gif

[tough cove]

POE1 has gotten alot of what players have wanted for a long time over the last couple of years

particularly when it came to the previous worst part of the poe experience (aka trade)

[low lava]

True. but i also feel like they are going too hard at it. Like moving over the new breach to core 😂

Oh the async trade ?

[tough cove]

2 of the new breaches are being realistically fine. The only bad breach for most players is the defense breach.

[whole bluff]

Sometimes I'm angry with GGG, sometimes I don't care

[low lava]

thats true yeah.

[whole bluff]

They lost my respect and support anyhow

[tough cove]

And atlas tree will honestly almost certainly allow you to minimize/disable that

Old breach did have some big performance/server downsides too

[whole bluff]

But they kept the mob eater breach

And the walls

[low lava]

I havent really hated or been angry at GGG for anything they have added, since i started playing. But i am still fairly "new"!

As long i am having fun playing, and i can skip content i dont want to do right now. I am goodie

[tough cove]

Oh theres definitely been some really really bad leagues

And some really horrific communication on GGGs end about certain things

(see Kalandra stealth loot nerf)

(or Synth league red maps not dropping)

[low lava]

just learned about that one today. Weird shit

[spice pecan]

i was literally typing synthesis league lmao

[gritty epoch]

Poe2 0.2

[spice pecan]

but yeah, kalandra is the big one

and expedition to a certain degree

[tough cove]

The worst part of synth league was they got told repeatedly that red maps werent dropping and insisted that there was nothing wrong there

[onyx adder]

its usually pretty unhealthy to hate game devs in general so uh

10/10 good mental

[spice pecan]

yeah, we really dont need more PoMs

[whole bluff]

We learned there were a handful of devs on poe1, or something like that, as a response to the community joking about poe1 being worked on by a single intern. While the money from supporter packs went to poe2, that wasn't really aimed at the poe1 audience anymore unless people would just reset their expectations cuz new game. But we bought poe1 supporter packs...

That's what I think is shitty

[tough cove]

I dont think any devs have ever gotten to hate status for me. I think the only gaming person that I would apply the hate tag to was the CEO at EA that later became Unity CEO

[gritty epoch]

If someone took a shit on your favourite franchise/movies series, I mean it's natural to get mad, I agreed its not good for your mental health I guess

[low lava]

Only studio i have hated a tiny bit. Was activision 😂
Other then that, i let em cook haha

[tough cove]

Activisions issue was the same issue with EA and Bioware (and with Bungie). The cooks got high on their own supply

[onyx adder]

idk man thats a level of emotional attachment i aint ever gonna have to a piece of entertainment interchangeable with many other pieces of entertainment

plenty of ways in this world to waste an afternoon for no benefit

[whole bluff]

Hate is way too strong lul. I'd help prolly any GGG dev irl, and I wish them the best. But as far as the game is concerned, I am angry

[onyx adder]

as long as poe is better than the other ways i'll play it

[low lava]

Wasnt there also alot of corpo control. Rushing content

[onyx adder]

and if it isnt im not gonna spend more than two seconds thinking about it

[gritty epoch]

EA lol

[tough cove]

Not really. Blizz was notoriously slow at producing stuff

And also dev helled a ton of content/projects

[low lava]

That too yeah

[stoic horizon]

not always rushing content but in general corpo control is the main cause of the disconnect between what players want and what they get

[tough cove]

But with Blizzard it was Blizzard that was the issue more than activision

Blizzard got bit by the WOW bug

[low lava]

yeah, i feel like we have seen more of this. the past year alone. Specially in the MMO world.

[tough cove]

And forgot their roots

And then they had the disaster that was the WOW movie

[spice pecan]

i didn't hate the wow movie

[gritty epoch]

At these times it's harder to find Devs that didn't fall off

[tough cove]

I didnt hate it, but it was a colossal flop outside of china

[low lava]

Loved the 1 second greenscreen flicker, in the cinema 😂

[tough cove]

And it took a TON of resources away from actually making games

[gentle ice]

i mean you can hate their decisions without hating the devs themselves 🤔 , i have no hate at all for the devs personally but i hate walls and the fact they kept the breach 2.0 🤣

[tough cove]

both money and manpower

[spice pecan]

i like bad videogame movies tbh

i took my boyfriend at the time to see detective pikachu with me

and final fantasy spirits within is a fever dream

[low lava]

i havent even played wow since like 2010-2011. But wasnt the movie also a goal of trying to get people into the games lore/story.

[tough cove]

i like SOME bad videogame movies. Keep Uwe Boll far away from any franchise i care about though

[gritty epoch]

Detective Pikachu was good in terms of a game movie

[spice pecan]

i liked it personally

[gritty epoch]

Imo

[tough cove]

It was. Spirits within was an ok scifi movie just a bad final fantasy movie

Conversely Advent Children was excellent even if it was fan service 101

[gritty epoch]

Poor squaresoft

[spice pecan]

i dont think i ever made it through advent children

[tight plinth]

twas okay

[spice pecan]

i'm stoked for the street fighter movie tbh

[tight plinth]

its not highly recommend movie, but its not snooze in the middle movie

[tough cove]

Its entertaining enough for me to watch the whole thing without wanting to do something else, which is fine with me

[tight plinth]

although, i did watch it when i was a kid and was playing ff at the time

so i might be biased

[tough cove]

Unlike a certain supposed avatar movie that supposedly was rumored to have been made

[tight plinth]

theres another one?

like a 3rd one?

[tough cove]

im refering to the abomination

Not the Cameron one, the M Night one

[tight plinth]

funnily enough, most movies i rewatch are those types

[gritty epoch]

Advent children is a bit pretentious SE style imo

[tight plinth]

the "critically acclaimed" ones are tiring to watch again

[spice pecan]

oh god m night did that awful, awful movie The Village

i remember watching that with my mom like 20 years ago

[tough cove]

Some are ok, others are really hard to watch again. Schindlers list was a absolute classic movie, but I cant bring myself to watch it again

[spice pecan]

we were both legitimately angry at the end

[tight plinth]

the one with ben afflect?

[gritty epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/jackie-chan-gif-24496470

[tough cove]

But then theres some like Pulp Fiction that I can watch over and over again

[spice pecan]

i don't remember, i basically never watch movies anymore

[tight plinth]

oh ben afflect one was the town

[tight plinth]

i dont like that movie, well at least not as much as the internet

[tough cove]

Now I think I might put on a bunch of Tarantino movies while i grind diablo 2

[spice pecan]

i should rewatch the kill bill movies

[tight plinth]

my favorite tarantino is either basterds or that one where they were stuck in a cabin

[gritty epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-gif-18065077912337871248

[tough cove]

my fav is django simply because jackson puts on imo the greatest villain performance of all time in it. one that he didnt get nearly enough credit for

[tight plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/gorlami-inglorious-basterds-brad-pitt-smile-throats-gif-17544755

[tough cove]

holy hammers has me intrigued though

hopefully theres some other interesting "melee" stuff

[gritty epoch]

I fear the worst for slams after that video tbh, there must be a catch (nerf)

[tough cove]

yeah i can smell the warcry nerf from a mile away

[gritty epoch]

No way they give u free giga aoe

[tough cove]

probably overexertion

or it has some dumb charge mechanic

[gritty epoch]

If they touch overexertion they better rework zerker and chieftain while they are at it

[spice pecan]

to bypass cooldown, you must spend 3 endurance charges and strike at least 2 enemies which are fully armor broken and primed for stun

[gritty epoch]

Slams have +1 seconds to total attack time now (hidden)

[tough cove]

it sure is amazing the amount of stuff you have to do in poe2 as most classes while spark just laughs in the corner

[split pagoda]

yeah lol

[spice pecan]

fucking spell totems

made me so sad

[split pagoda]

the char even had echoes on right?

might just be the classic new skill but triple nerf in patch notes

[gritty epoch]

The leap slam prior has zero aoe but the hammer slam is huge aoe so there must be something going on

[split pagoda]

deserved tho if it happens

[rough ferry]

does the harvest double scarab effect the amount of plants that spawn? i feel like everytime i run it the max of plant is 4

[spice pecan]

no, it affects how much lifeforce drops

someone just posted a poo2 code in g1 lmao

"whoever gets it can have it"

[crisp obsidian]

inb4 it was an used key

[gritty epoch]

You build glory for 50seconds by hitting shaper with default attack and gain the charge to use it by breaking shaper's stance.
U finally use it but it misses coz shaper stunned animation have him fall over 4meters back.
Also shaper is stunned for 0.5seconds so all your efforts are wasted and you can't get even an attack in while spark electrocute stuns for 4seconds

[split pagoda]

the funniest slam nerf they could do would be to remove autoexert

back to piano days

[crisp obsidian]

naww just limit autoexert to 2 cries

and if you have autoexerted a cry it adds a +2 second use on next manual cry

[gritty epoch]

[hard cliff]

based

@spice pecan

why you up at 6 am

[spice pecan]

i dont go to bed till like 10-11am

usually

and it's only 3:38am here

[hard cliff]

it's 6:30

[split pagoda]

yeah I do appreciate being able to autoexert an ancestral cry for example on a strike build

[crisp obsidian]

bmc

[native abyss]

lock in

[tight plinth]

big massive c...

[hard cliff]

finding out this league not even strikes are not free from auto exert just killed me

[opal ingot]

lmaoooo

[gritty epoch]

Teasers anytime now...

[opal ingot]

so relatable

[hard cliff]

at least it's not a totem lol

[spice pecan]

remove tinctures

[opal ingot]

replace with what

[spice pecan]

nothing

attacks are already good enough

[opal ingot]

how aobut tinctures for spells

[spice pecan]

no

[gritty epoch]

Just remove the ele pen tinctures and buff the others

[spice pecan]

tincture management/uptime is giga cringe anyway

[fossil mural]

Tunctures are good tech

Like poison/bleed chance and stuff

[spice pecan]

or make tinctures enchantable to be reused when cooldown expires

[grizzled lily]

i might be a total geek but i think a path of exile movie would be really cool, esp with the storyline being so big for an arpg

[fossil mural]

Remove the attack speed/pen shit

And change warden

[opal ingot]

put it in tincture ranged weapon ascendancy?

[gritty epoch]

Video game movie tend to suck so think again (elden ring movie gonna kill me)

[grizzled lily]

ehhh

[spice pecan]

a movie about a fromsoft game would be unwatchable without drugs

ngl

[gritty epoch]

Press ele pen tinctures, boom 50% more DPS

[leaden quiver]

just balance the prismatic tincture

no one really uses the others ones lmao

crit i guess

xd

buff the ailment ones

[hard cliff]

ugh why are they making an elden ring movie

[spice pecan]

there's no way that's real

[grizzled lily]

i remember warcraft cinematics, and how good they looked for their age, i think i would watch something like that(even tho we alr have lord of the rings that looks similar)

[gritty epoch]

Money, trends and greed

[spice pecan]

fromsoft stories are so esoteric that trying to make them into a movie is a really bad idea

[native abyss]

i love money

[hard cliff]

watched the Dota 2 cartoon last month it was not good

[fossil mural]

It would have to be a movie set in the same world, but not about a dude going around killing shit

[leaden quiver]

also

blind tincture is so weak compared to everything else

wtf

[grizzled lily]

league of legends made a show that was highly praised thoo

[stoic horizon]

imagine using tinctures

[fossil mural]

It would have to be about a time in elden ring when lands between were alive yet. Like before ranni fishified godwyn

[grizzled lily]

and thats a moba

[stoic horizon]

unless you ask lore bros

[spice pecan]

league of lol has a more comprehensible story than a fromsoft game

[fossil mural]

It literally doesnt. The game itself doesnt exist lore wise

[hard cliff]

league is a dota clone the term moba was invented to try to obsfuscate that

[fossil mural]

Its the world the game is built on that makes sense

[grizzled lily]

saw a video ab it, it was in its own universe

[hard cliff]

crazy how that worked tbh

[grizzled lily]

alternate universe

[leaden quiver]

elden ring lore is bad because its lore and not plot

[stoic horizon]

if you ignore the fact that the game itself has nothing to do with the lore, the lore is rather comprehensive and good
