Mm, I don’t personally visit either but I imagine the difference is night and day.

[gilded elm]

Psychologist is more holistic I'd say, they can diagnose and even prescribe medication, but it's often not the first line of treatment for them. Whilst a Psychiatrist will diagnose and only prescribe medication.

And I just don't really trust Therapists in general unless they have a Psychology degree. Therapists are just "certified" professionals in the US, but they usually don't have the higher education that Psychologists (who are Doctors of Psychology) receive.

[sand wigeon]

Mmm. Drugs.

[gilded elm]

Same reason why I won't trust a Nutritionist, but I do trust Dieticians.

[sand wigeon]

I don’t trust any doctors. In their coats. Slippery buggers.

Yeah, colourful glass window have appeared again

[fierce moth]

Anyone interested in Chrono Odyssey and want to join in the playtest? It gave access since June. 19th, not everyone can join the first wave I'm sure.

The game director said it's not a pay-to-win game and the income come from MTX

[ebon meadow]

Poe practises until launch lol

I m still doubting my start but at least I have one that I never played

[hot crown]

@ember lake

[fierce moth]

Reveal this logo by voxel is what I plan to do in the last day before 3.26 is live

I have zero worries or prepare for poe league because nothing is make sense before I learnt all basic gameplay

[ebon meadow]

the practise is to finger memory on the basics , i have 5% knledge on new league really lol its for explore

the logo does look very nice btw

maybe loose the bottom banner , keep it clean

also something about font is trigiring me a lil, on the be my self part

it might literally just be the shadow bit its itching

[gilded elm]

I love the Satanic Temple, such a great organization IMO.

[gilded elm]

I will be trying it yes, if I get selected for the playtest.

Gonna be a busy summer. There's PoE1, obviously. Then there's also Titan Quest 2 which is supposed to release into early access on Steam in the next month or two (or maybe even this month, they only said summer).

But as far as Chrono Odyssey goes... I want to try it, but I don't trust the developers or the publisher. I was born and raised in Korea, so when I hear a Korean game dev tell me there won't be "pay to win" I just laugh and call them a liar.

But maybe Chrono Odyssey will surprise me.

[twilit mountain]

They do wonderful work, big fan. I've got plans to go visit the Salem art gallery they host sometime.

[gilded elm]

Yeah, of course their legal work in the separation of Church and State is of course what makes them stand out, but I do admire how they present their views. They also commission great art! Think this was also used in the Netflix Sabrina series lol

Would love to visit their Salem art gallery, if only to see the Baphomet statue in person.

[fierce moth]

👀 so you can hear and read Korean

[desert jasper]

Pfft I can hear Korean too
Can't understand a thing though

I kinda wish I did understand it though

[fierce moth]

I attracted by co's art so I want to try their gameplay indeed

I wish I can understand French instead

[gilded elm]

Yeah I understand Korean, I'm half Korean. Any time a Korean game dev says their MMO won't have pay to win, I don't believe them lol

But I do really hope Chrono Odyssey will be different, the gameplay looks very good

[desert jasper]

I learned French for what, 3 years?
I only remember how to introduce myself and say I don't speak French and ask if they can speak English instead

[fierce moth]

It's still very meaningful

[junior oyster]

I learned Japanese from anime

[desert jasper]

Also can't write those either because of french having these weird letters

[junior oyster]

I can say bankai

Whohoo

Also some Spanish too

Cero 😂

[fierce moth]

pronunciation in many French words are hard is what I remembered only, I learned French for a year on duolingo but French lesson always update so my process always went back, I gave it up at last

[junior oyster]

No offence to French but I hate that language with a passion

I know, right? 🙂

[ember lake]

I feel like this would melt my PC 😅

[hot crown]

My laptop is holding up surprisingly well, considering. 🙂

Apparently a mobile RTX3060 can handle wuwa at its finest with quality bias (except raytracing, naturally; now THAT is a freaking TAX 😄 ).

One of the best parts is, everything is rendered in-engine, so whatever happens in cutscenes actually uses live models and props.

Some cutscenes even seamlessly return control over characters after playing out.

[ebon meadow]

My new pc and phone screens

Blue is just to cozy

[desert jasper]

Good to know, my desktop has a 3070TI but it's bottleneck is the ryzen 5 processor (and the fact the 3070TI only has 8GB of RAM) - I'm due a few upgrades, but most of what I play is managing atm so I keep putting it off 😅

[fierce moth]

Your laptop better than me at least

My specs are as follows:

• Model - HP Victus 16

Almost an entire year of being unhinged I can finally be a normal person again.

[desert jasper]

I can pretend to be a normal person again

[twilit mountain]

We can finally tell Zana we're sane again

And later this year Silksanity will end too, all the communities are healing

[desert jasper]

Just watch Silksong be delayed again

[twilit mountain]

I don't think they can. They've had too many outright confirmations, it'd probably hurt their integrity/rep way too much

[desert jasper]

They already had a confirmation like what, 2 years ago at xbox showcase that it'll be playable that year
and they even said on twitter that it'll be playable then

I'll believe it's out this year when it's actually out

[twilit mountain]

Tbf, the only confirmation that came from TC was in like 2021, the Xbox showcase was only confirmed via the Xbox Twitter which is not exactly a reputable source. TC has confirmed multiple times this year via Discord and showcases verbally stating it, it's a lot harder to go back on something stated from official sources and direct communication than it is a tweet from an unaffiliated party.
They got a lot of backlash for the 2021 (might've been 2020, time is hard) delay, they'd get way more now.

[desert jasper]

Tbh
I'm not really looking forward to it that much
I had a friend who was one of the most annoying hollow knight fans I've known
Like we could be talking about anything else with other friends
and he'd join the call and instantly start talking about hollow knight
it's like he lived and breathed hollow knight for several years and even helped with the german translation
and constantly kept on telling us to play it

I did eventually play it, but him pestering constantly pushed me back
and by the time I did play it the game had way too many things to do

Not saying the game is bad
it's clearly really well done (though I had trouble telling what's in the background and what's actually there in some areas)
and the passion of the dev team is clearly visible

[twilit mountain]

Mm. I never fully finished it, but I appreciate the design and quality of it. Dream however is a big fan, so I like to keep up on Silksong news and learn stuff on HK to talk to her about it.

[desert jasper]

Yeah I didn't actually do the dlcs
or beat the final boss

I got there
and decided that I didn't like the fight and it wasn't worth it for me

for the first time I managed to kill the act 2 boss.

[desert jasper]

Well it crashed twice for me
so I'm just gonna go to sleep

[twilit mountain]

Gettin close to end of act 2 rn, had to take a slight break to make coffee for roommate

[fierce moth]

👀 Just have a good sleep and wake up by raining sounds

[twilit mountain]

@mental talon 7H20M for campaign. Not terrible, not great either. But still, comfy run.

[mental talon]

Yeah I'm in maps but I'm taking a food break and gonna play for like another hour and a half then take a power nap and get back to it

Ok back to demon time

[fierce moth]

still downloading

[fierce moth]

My trouble is come from this orange monster, it just summon more and more minions if I can't it. But I can't kill it exactly

hah it's died finally

[muted parrot]

You’re playing with gamepad 😯
How is it? Is looting as bad as in LE? 🤔

I thought about trying it with gamepad but PoE has so much more stuff to pickup and more skills to use so I thought it’s worse than LE.

[twilit mountain]

PoE doesn't actually have a lot of skills to use in builds. Most builds click like... two buttons in combat, tops.

[fierce moth]

😮 wow

[fierce moth]

I done all stuff in act 1 and in the town of act 2 now

nap time

[desert jasper]

I'm about to go to act... 4? or was it 5
oh yea, 5

but think i'll have a short nap too

[fierce moth]

maps are too big and I can't find the shortest path is main issue

memory back to 0% after not play about one year

4h is gone after I completed act 1

Most of players should complete their endgame when I done the campaign as this speed lol

[ebon meadow]

Took me like 46 mint for act 1 with all disconnects and Q yesterday lul

I gave up and went to sleep

[ebon meadow]

That's why most people today just do few act 1 runs as practise not even full campaign,it's the hardest one since u don't have gear and depending on what ever drops and also there's not much of a damage scaling at start unless you have twink gear

[fierce moth]

the most annoying point for their controller UI is rings. I can't wear the second ring if I wore one...The game help me to switch rings only

[indigo shadow]

Yeah, LE have that problem too. I despise it.

[fierce moth]

and their controller UI don't match with the latest gameplay, merc yet so no key for me to exile and hire

both of le and poe/poe 2 don't do well on selecting item tags, all of games need me to move my character to move the selected cover on item I want to check out instead of pressing the gamepad (⬆️ ⬇️)

I remembered it was worked in le but they broke it after later updates

[mental talon]

Power nap over time to blast

[ebon meadow]

I can't even understand how do you play with gamepad lul beyond me for Arpgs

So many clicks and cursor requirement

[fierce moth]

No idea why you think everything need click and accurate cursor

This game will not on xbox and ps5 if it's true

[fierce moth]

https://pobb.in/pPTkhizfOZFI
which node should I select on this cluster, 30% chance to summon 2 totems or 60% increase crit chance?

[fierce moth]

.... poe's server is quite unstable now

[desert jasper]

yes

[fierce moth]

emmmm I forget how to do that three bandits quest again... I can keep one of them alive only?

[muted parrot]

keep alira alive to get easier early game thanks to +15 resistances

and yes, you can only keep one alive or kill all (which would get you 2 more passive points)

[fierce moth]

god I just want to check out how much spell cir chance my totem is only... Why block my connection

then pob block my connection

[fierce moth]

any ways else available to import my build in pob? I can't import my templer because that...

[twilit mountain]

Mm... Might need to VPN to access the site maybe? Then you could login with it on poe.ninja and grab your characters from there I think

Also hi good morning

I went to bed at 4:30AM and got up about an hour and a half ago. Now that sleep inertia isn't preventing me from moving I am looking for a drink and then logging in to continue progressing

[fierce moth]

hiya it's here again

I dislike how hard I import my build of poe so much but still get nothing

[twilit mountain]

Btw @mental talon any idea on if reduced mana cost craft is still in the game? I didn't see it in the bench but maybe it's just labeled differently?

[mental talon]

I havent seen Reduced Mana Cost but I have seen the Elreon Minus Mana

[twilit mountain]

Hmm. Concerning. But alright. I can make that work too, just gotta get some not trash rings going and such.

I have like 30c to my name xdd, should be enough

(Though tbh 30c day 1 isn't terrible imo)

[mental talon]

Yeah Im kinda broke Ive got 38 but Im looking for upgrades right now lol

[twilit mountain]

I found an Honourhome and Singularity super quick so I'm just working on other gear to get my swap ready now

Gonna have to run lab again though xdd

[fierce moth]

I guess Chinese internet with VPN is blocked by pob. None of them work, regardless poe or poe 2. But this is the only planner tool which can import builds by my account in poe's community...

[twilit mountain]

Weird...

Worst case you can ask someone to do it for you maybe?

Pause goes so hard, was able to just click a button and go help housemates with groceries. Insane.

[sand wigeon]

It’s almost like the ability to pause is an amazing feature.

We should’ve invented it in the 80’s. With the rest of video games.

[blissful token]

glad poe gets to pause

[twilit mountain]

I understand why pause doesn't exist in a lot of PvP games. Though I do think many could still use it fine, DOTA and Deadlock both manage it fine for example.

[blissful token]

Tactical pause in MOBA

[fierce moth]

lollllllll.......... That's too ridiculous

Fine, I use web version only in the future. App version can't work at all

Another Chinese can use app version to import a build without VPN even...

[maiden widget]

most likely an issue with the vpn, pob blocks nothing in itself

[fierce moth]

where can I check out if I want to see the value of spell crit chance from storm burst?

I want to know how my totem's crit chance going

[maiden widget]

select the skill at the top dropdown

youre looking at arcane cloak atm

[fierce moth]

oh 30%, I see. 🤔 Do increase 60% is a big bonus?

Will a big different here when crit chance less than 100%?

hah?.......

[maiden widget]

depends on the base and how much increase you have, you can also just swap masteres and should be able to check it out

[twilit mountain]

Forces mobs to attack/target the totems briefly. Isn't something that can be calculated which is why it is written in red.

[fierce moth]

The guide I'm following give me a different answer completely

I'm thinking summon 2 times or increase 60% crit chance, but he selected taunt for 1s...

oh he selected the second totem mastery as increase 60% crit chance 🤔 Ok then I make the same choice later. I want both of summon 2 times and increase 60% crit chance

[fierce moth]

such poor my damage is

[fierce moth]

lol Sunset.... There's an community in Texas calls Sunset

No idea if it's a city but this name sounds interesting

lol sunset and sunshine

[twilit mountain]

It is an unincorporated community, basically an area that is outside of the municipal government or an area with a strong social identity without official recognition.

[fierce moth]

I get average time per act. 4h at least xd

so my pace is one act per day. Done double acts are impossible

[desert jasper]

I'm gettign to maps soon

[twilit mountain]

I'm still working on map progressionit be rough rn

[muted parrot]

same, cleared my first red map now..was surprisingly doable even with 50% shocked ground

[fierce moth]

Poor damage with this boss jumping anywhere let the boss combat quite long...

The design of the combat area is quite bad because I always blocked by air walls. They are come from invisible area on the centre.

[placid yarrow]

Your damage isn't that bad to be honest you just don't have very high uptime so their energy shield keeps regenerating

[fierce moth]

hah enter the inside of tower in act 3. This act can be done soon

[muted parrot]

did you ascend already?

[twilit mountain]

<@&1161418687471956101> it's the weird image link thing again

[fierce moth]

🫂 I'm done! Not ascend yet

do regen xxx life per second belong to life modifiers?

[twilit mountain]

Yep

[fierce moth]

thanks, then I can't 15% increase max life. I select 30 max life bonus instead

My game must relogin per 2-3h because latency become unstable and grow to 140+ms... The beginning is 40ms

[twilit mountain]

Yeah the servers aren't doin great

[desert jasper]

what weird image link thing?

[twilit mountain]

There's been bots coming in and posting (insecure) links to images for scam/hacking purposes.

[desert jasper]

ah
yea
one of them was in general with a weird link, saying that it's his new twitch banner (or something)

and it lead to a zip file
yeah, sure
i'll download a zip file that a random guy links
Yup

[twilit mountain]

Exactly lol

[desert jasper]

Tbh I probably wouldn't download a zip file even if it came from a friend
Unless we had already agreed that they'd send something soon

Because I've seen people get hacked and send those ahead

[twilit mountain]

Yuuuup.

[desert jasper]

like a friend got hacked because his son was using his tablet and clicked a shady link
Hmm yes, sure I'll believe him speaking to me in English instead of Finnish and sending a random link to "a giftcard"

Sent him a message to his phone about it and oh boy he wasn't happy

[twilit mountain]

I've known a couple folks who lost their accounts to surprisingly good scams. Things that were actually believable due to circumstances around them.

[desert jasper]

Yeah
I know one who has a friend that's making a game
that guy's account got hacked.
and the hacker then sent a file to this other guy who thought yeah, sure I've tried his game before too

[junior oyster]

Almost happened to me on the roguebook discord server

Mod acc got hacked and I almost proceeded to install from the link they sent

Luckily my windows defender kicked off and I was able to cancel the installation

[fierce moth]

I need to learn more on desert ruins... I find nothing value enough when I want to render detail displays of sapphire quarter. This is the map I know the least.

I rotated the model 10 times already lol

[twilit mountain]

That's pretty gnarly.

[candid sage]

[twilit mountain]

At least yours doens't look like this!

[candid sage]

waaaaaaaaaaaaait. are you also playing rolling magma mines?

mines not quite as good cuz im still in campaign

[twilit mountain]

Nope, I'm on brands. Even more projs than mines!

[candid sage]

interesting

[twilit mountain]

I create over 100 projectiles every 1.5s :D

[twilit mountain]

I have crashed my game three times today

[desert jasper]

i'm playing pizza sticks

it's ok
totems aren't my favorite tbh

[twilit mountain]

Stick to the mines btw lol
Brands are very fun and have a stupid damage/gear ceiling but it's also squishy and needs multiple buttons

[candid sage]

yeah i wasnt going to change, the 100 magma balls would likely explode my potato of a pc

[fierce moth]

I discovered a $22 cute plant-shapr toy

Oh $14 on their online shop only. 🤔 I never see a doll like that, very creative

[ebon meadow]

@fierce moth looks like they fixing controller issues lol

That's a lot of bugs for a pad

[fierce moth]

None of bugs they mentioned are I have experienced

🤔 I never meet crash

[ebon meadow]

They are more or less mid and end game bugs and for specific content so maybe not a lot of people experienced them

[fierce moth]

Oh my Jesus. WHAT ARE THESE...

Never know so many ways to create art so I know nothing so I'm confused what my technique is

😂 Can anyone tell me how to make art by digital mounting

wall-mounted display, oh I see. This is my technique I think

[fierce moth]

I read "diasec mounting" as "digital mounting"

[placid yarrow]

That's a lot of options lol

[fierce moth]

https://www.exhibizone.com/p/solos.html
It come from this website. Min amount is submitted 9 works and it's max for me. hah I can't find the 10th one I'm proud of...

[junior oyster]

It looks like rip to my main pc

Using steamdeck as my pc for now

[fierce moth]

I hate getting up early but I must get up early to take an job interview tomorrow :(
RIP, my poe. I don't play it at all today

[ebon meadow]

Wth happened to Ur pc ? Was it Poe ?

[junior oyster]

Nah CPU overheating

It could be build up of dust but it don't matter

The processor was a 4th gen lol

[ebon meadow]

Just open up both sides and blow with air or at least a hoover lol

[junior oyster]

Nah I'm buying a new pc

[ebon meadow]

My room temperature goes to freaking 47 Celsius now lmao

[junior oyster]

4th gen means I can't even upgrade to win11

[ebon meadow]

Yea mine got fried so I had an excuse for a new build up

Took a limb but I was expecting it at some point now I m happy boi

[junior oyster]

Yea I just bought mine for around £1300

[ebon meadow]

Conversión is probably same now so I spend exactly that

And I went for specific makes could of done cheaper I just don't trust anything outside gygabyte and intel

Well and MSI

Wait how the f is pound 0.85 to €

I feel sorry for my family now

[junior oyster]

I went with MSI b760 tbf

In fact MSI is the only mb on cyberpowersystem lol

[fierce moth]

which GPU are you purchased?

[junior oyster]

Uhh

rtx 5060 ti 16gb

It's ok poe will still not run properly regardless

[ebon meadow]

Nice ,I can't find my new specs right now XD

[ebon meadow]

Yeaaa it feels like back in 2018

[junior oyster]

I can't believe I'm going from a 4th gen i5 to a 14th gen and a gtx970 to a 5060 ti

[ebon meadow]

Servers are fkn shitting them self first day I just went to sleep after 6 crashes

[fierce moth]

A big leap!

[ebon meadow]

Ohh I still get very exited on new pc the upgrade is crazy

[junior oyster]

My pc
Infinity X135 Gaming PC

[fierce moth]

I'm surprised GTX970 can run le and poe still

[ebon meadow]

Even with just booting the initial programs after windows like discord and stuff

[ebon meadow]

I have played on 730

[junior oyster]

But I chose no os cuz I already have windows on my old ssd lol

[junior oyster]

Oh yea those games run pretty smoothly lol

[ebon meadow]

I lost everything on my pc burn even the ssd and pobs from 2017

Every single build and a loooot of screenshots

[junior oyster]

Yea only my cpu died tbf so I can't complain

For the time being I'm using my steamdeck as official pc lol

It's not bad ngl

[ebon meadow]

It's not

It works

[junior oyster]

The resolution feels a bit too big imo but otherwise it's good

[fierce moth]

I have a phone in 2014-2019 only. The first laptop I own was purchased in 2019

[junior oyster]

Feels like I didn't even lose my pc xD

This year I bought a new phone too

After owing a Sony xperia premium for 5 years I bought a new phone

[ebon meadow]

I played on 7-9 phones from 2006 to 2014

A game with no disconnect and pure PvP

[junior oyster]

I need to learn how to lock my steamdeck using desktop mode though

Standard windows + L doesn't work xD

[fierce moth]

I remember the GPU of the first laptop clearly, MX250 xd

Integrated Graphics it's so... Not suitable for playing model renders and game graphics at all. I can't complain because it's purchased by my mom

[junior oyster]

I bought my first gaming pc because of diablo 3

Intengrated graphics card on my laptop didn't want to run d3

Bought amd processor and gpu

Never again (gpu at least)

[ebon meadow]

I have bad experience with AMD I don't touch it

It works for others that's great but one issue for me is what it takes for me to stay away

[keen wind]

My laptop has an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU and I'd be fairly confident in that choice again

Though Nvidia kinda keeps me from switching from X11 to Wayland

But honestly Wayland seems... Kinda feature-poor and a compatibility nightmare in general anyway

I'd rather keep the widely supposed CUDA toolkit

[tawny sand]

doesn't nvidia have a bunch of driver issues right now

[fierce moth]

Slept 4h then can't sleep again because my yarn going to be a mother again

🙏 Wish kittens are born smoothly

She prefers to get born in my sock bucket, it's the same in two times 😅

No idea why my socks are attractive

[twilit mountain]

Squishy, warm, enclosed area, probably feels safe.

[keen wind]

Sounds like a blanket

Maybe I should eep

[desert jasper]

sleep is good

[fierce moth]

👀 Nub get up very early

My wish is done that job interview quickly then go back home to take some sleep 😶

Yarn have born 4 kittens but she feed 2 of them only

[twilit mountain]

Keep an eye on them, try and warm them if they need it, if she doesn't end up feeding them within the day you may have to take over and do it yourself with like a small bottle and some baby formula, but try nudging them towards her and seeing if they try to latch first.

[desert jasper]

Yeah I woke up at 4 and couldn't get more sleep
not really feeling tired either
really would've only got about an hour more sleep anyway, probably less

[fierce moth]

Great, I learn the rule of finding jobs now. Portfolio or relevant work experience, I must have one and it must very solid

How to make them solid: Amount, types, quality, data, and opinions

[desert jasper]

Be careful with opinions

[fierce moth]

hhhh no worries, I don't reach that level yet

HR will not hear your opinions if you don't have relevant work experience or solid portfolio

[desert jasper]

Just meaning that they should be work related and based on your previous experience
and if asked why you think this way you need to be able to explain why

Instead of "I don't know, feels that way"

[fierce moth]

The most scared question for me is ask me why are you have a gap for a long time between double work experience

[desert jasper]

You can say that you were working on personal projects (your art for example) while looking for a new job

[fierce moth]

For every 3d environment artist, learn blender or learn maya at first is the biggest problem because it's the dual of old era and new era. Old era represent people from 70-80s, whose still own the power in different game companies. New era represent people from 90s and later, whose very energtic and tend to explore new things but they're poor on voice.

[desert jasper]

Oh people from the 90s being very energetic?
I wish
I suddenly feel old

[twilit mountain]

Born in '02, exhausted and low energy every day of my life for the past 8 years 😔

[fierce moth]

people whose from 2000-2010 is older too... 25 isn't a young age in China. Programmers always worry about their life after 35+ years old

[desert jasper]

1990 here

[fierce moth]

🤔 Two ways available for an artist after they're older, keep polishing their skills and develop the own career or become a leader to manage a team, teach the new

[desert jasper]

Turning 35 in about 3 months

[fierce moth]

I will select the first road

[desert jasper]

Middle life crisis coming

[fierce moth]

older than me 10 years, cool

[twilit mountain]

There's a non-zero chance a guy from my old Destiny clan has died from old age at this point. Dunno, we all kinda drifted years ago now.
35 is the perfect age to start adopting the "cranky old person" personality for fun

[fierce moth]

02... Then Deias must face the pressure from finding a job too

[twilit mountain]

I currently face the pressure of "can I even get a job considering my physical state now"

[fierce moth]

Me too

[twilit mountain]

I've been standing for all of about 5 minutes to pull smth out of the oven and my back and hips are burning :<

[desert jasper]

Nah I don't need to adopt the cranky old person personality
I do find living quite nice most of the time
People are full of wonder and it pleases me greatly to see some of them

[fierce moth]

I want to see different artists. In real.

[desert jasper]

Not that I would say it to their face

[fierce moth]

Explore the own road by myself only is quite quite quite quite quite hard and tough

[twilit mountain]

Mm. Fair enough. My take on living depends on how I'm feeling and whether I've taken my meds. Dysphoria has been kicking me into the dirt lately, so I'm not a huuuuuge fan of living at the moment.

[fierce moth]

👀 Can I ask which major Deias are learnt in university?

[desert jasper]

I can understand that

[twilit mountain]

None. I dropped out in my last year of high school due to severe mental health issues and even if I hadn't uni/college wasn't attainable to me since I couldn't afford it.

[fierce moth]

Our experience is similar on the level of unluck lol

My education background make zero sense on my cv too

[twilit mountain]

My older brother is in college atm. Last I knew he was majoring in computer science. He scrounged together money for a long time to get there, and is kind of exhausting himself to keep going; he's working two jobs while attending, a side hustle, and recording his music. I don't know how he has it in him.

[fierce moth]

the master of managing time

[desert jasper]

I was studying to be an engineer
I ended up quitting
a few years later I was diagnosed with ADHD
Was a "well that kind of explains things" moment

[fierce moth]

I feel complex for the truth that I still living

[desert jasper]

Okay
now it's starting to hit me that I woke up at 4

[fierce moth]

13:50 go to bed, 15:38 get up
Feel better a lot

[fierce moth]

which side do they think more cool, use a 1920x1080 picture to show different elements go together or split them into double pictures but with more thinking?

Work made in 2023 so they look more rough and less details

[blissful token]

Wait wrong server whoops

[fierce moth]

I like McMonald more

[fierce moth]

👀 Wicked have the id from the Asian country I want the most

[blissful token]

huh

what do you mean

[fierce moth]

The only developed country which balance Chinese and English the best

And have good relationship with another countries so less block on internet and Visa credit card

[blissful token]

lol

hokkien dialect alot here

some cantonese

[fierce moth]

It's fine, Cantonese is my native language

[blissful token]

so am i except i cant write lol

and i cant do poem like the scholar from ancient china

[fierce moth]

Yeah I can hear and speak Cantonese, read is hard, never write

[blissful token]

cant be helped that we watch alot of HK movies and drama here

[fierce moth]

English is on the opposite, can read and write but bad at speak and listen

[desert jasper]

You only get better if you practice

[fierce moth]

Language environment is important

I can train English listening by myself only, no idea how to do speak training

[blissful token]

Some peepo learn from movies and like nub said, speak more to get better

man i remember i stutter and drool when i speak last time

back in primary school

[fierce moth]

Speak clearly, quickly and loudly is my goal too

[desert jasper]

Just have the precense that people will go quiet when you talk
No need to talk loudly then

[blissful token]

okie this may be sensitive topic... i encountered peepo with ADHD that admit they cant control their volume when speaking

not screaming loud but rather loud for casual speaking

[fierce moth]

It's me... Jesus

[blissful token]

oh?

[fierce moth]

I can't control my volume so people will think I'm too loud or my volume isn't enough

[blissful token]

I cant visualize how they cant control the volume. No offense. I just cant comprehend it

[desert jasper]

Another thing you learn by talking

[blissful token]

wonder if Kirra is oppressed at home since young

[fierce moth]

I hided my voice usually because no one want to listen my opinions while I'm in school

[fierce moth]

school + home

[blissful token]

that make sense

[fierce moth]

Speaking just too tiring lol let me speak 5 mins alone is the max

[blissful token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUKmGxpYfxA separate matter but thats me

[fierce moth]

100% have resonance

[desert jasper]

Put way too much stuff in my tortilla
half of it dropped out

[fierce moth]

That's the clip of my life in school

So I know every hided corners in my school because I just want to hide myself

Another people: why a girl sitting here?

[sand wigeon]

"Sorry, I'm under NDA and cannot disclose that information."

[ebon meadow]

Tat is me yep ,also it's the country I live Spanish people are very loud speakers they always talking above them self's at same time

[blissful token]

i see

[fierce moth]

hhhhhh you're smart!

[sand wigeon]

No.

[fierce moth]

👌 ascendency is done, no problem for act 5. Still in act 4

[ebon meadow]

If the char feels powerfull enough I do it before end of act 4 boss yep if not just after the first side mission in act 6

Need to get that gem ventor in I hate doing library

[desert jasper]

Gonna try out MH Wilds again after like 2 & half month break
maybe it'll actually perform better these days

[fierce moth]

@ebon meadow I'm proud of I kill act 4 boss once time, no death :)

[desert jasper]

Was trying to do the new side quest
Can see the npc on the map
literally no path to it
yeah i'm just gonna not bother

also the game runs worse than before the performance patch

[fierce moth]

ok the first item I get from trading in 3.26, spent one chaos orb

[ebon meadow]

Decent boots for untill u finish campaign,good life roll

For a low level item

[desert jasper]

The mercs can drop some really good things

[ebon meadow]

Ye ai yoinked some good jewellery when I was playing

Since I haven't seen the announcement it took me some days to figure our how the f i can hire them and then looked at my gold lol

I don't think I can keep a high level one

[ebon meadow]

That empty flask slot is triggering me ,can put on phasing flask or granite if you doing armour as one of defence layers

[twilit mountain]

You only pay them once

[fierce moth]

🙃 ...

[muted parrot]

Are you PoE1 players also thinking about LE while playing?
I mean like you get a unique, look at it and think about slamming mods on it like in LE but they are static in PoE except corrupting.

Makes me really appreciate LE more, making your own version of uniques is so cool!

Also crafting/finding good items or upgrades is so rng heavy compared to LE. I know in PoE you craft your BIS items usually but I never liked it especially since meta crafts are expensive and also hidden behind a high grind-wall like rare unique maps

LE really spoiled me and I think it’s a good thing. Can‘t really enjoy PoE anymore it seems.
LE is ♥️

[twilit mountain]

Nope. I logged into PoE and within like 4 hours remembered why I liked it so much more than LE.

[muted parrot]

I played PoE for many years (started late in Synthesis)..I‘m tired Boss 😭😅

[twilit mountain]

I've played actively, every single league and event, since Bestiary :)

[desert jasper]

Both games are good
I don't think about other games while playing one
I've playes poe since 2013

[twilit mountain]

Literally no other game I have ever played makes build progression feel as good to me. And I've played a lot of games.

[muted parrot]

I also played every league but tbh GGG has messed up so many times and the game is so hard, I‘m not getting younger..I wanna chill ^^
(Says the one who tries ssfhc once every league just for the challenge but only for one character usually)

[desert jasper]

None of us are getting any younger

[muted parrot]

Do you play trade? 🤔

[twilit mountain]

Exclusively. I'm not masochistic enough to play SSF. But don't take that to mean "I purchase every item I use", I had a multi-mirror build in Settlers and Affliction where every item was crafted by hand and every unique corrupted by me.

[muted parrot]

Bc I have almost zero progression without trading. Sure, there is atlas grind but gear stagnates very quickly in higher maps and getting to BIS takes soooo much time grinding so many mechanics and maps

[desert jasper]

A guildmate just quit the game since he couldn't get the offcolors he wanted
spent 80c on it and said f this

[mental talon]

Not even a little bit

[muted parrot]

CoF spoiled me as well, I love SSF but in PoE it’s horrible. And I really dislike trading with randoms and everything there is to it

[twilit mountain]

Tf is he trying to off color? 6B on a str base?

[muted parrot]

I can relate..I often quit when I‘m trying to 6L my crafted chestpiece and fail with many hundred fusings..hate that mechanic.
And the grind to 1.5k isn’t fun to me either

[desert jasper]

the uhh phantasm staff?
No idea what he is trying to get on it tbh

ah he said 1 off color so green

[twilit mountain]

Soulwrest? I mean, based item choi-

What

How

[desert jasper]

... how he spent 80c on that? i have no idea

[twilit mountain]

Literally open bench -> click "at least one green"

[muted parrot]

1 off color is simple in bench? 🤔

[twilit mountain]

Yes?

It's practically guaranteed

[desert jasper]

tbh he might've exaggerated it
but still
He could've given it to me and i would've tried

[fierce moth]

ok go back the act 1 town to start act 6. Today is done

[desert jasper]

But he is also a dad gamer

[fierce moth]

I'm thinking I should purchase a wand... I lost an advanced rare wand better than this time because of...

[muted parrot]

Sure hope so^^ would be funny to quit because of something like that while it’s guaranteed. Even without guarantee one off color is easy.

Maybe show him LE if he‘s frustrated of PoE 😏

[mental talon]

After seeing how people in the PoE 2 subreddit talk you'd think you need a Master's in Quantum Physics to make socket colors understandable idk

[desert jasper]

Oh he did play LE at launch
it lacked content for him and went back to poe
he'll give it a go again eventually

[muted parrot]

Yeah, probably. At that lvl you can easily have a 200% better wand if you’re still playing ehh lighting element? 🤔
Do you have Woe essences by chance? Then you could craft your own

[desert jasper]

Also he and I have like 12h difference so we barely talk tbh
Some through discord these days

[fierce moth]

essence? No

[twilit mountain]

You have no idea how happy I am to be back in a game with good crafting... I made a 1k+ ES chest today. Feels so fiiiiine.

[muted parrot]

Can we buy essences with non player trade? I think so but dunno if you already unlocked it.
Or just buy a wand I guess, can‘t be that expensive at that lvl ^^

[mental talon]

Dawg who you telling. It's been way too long

[twilit mountain]

I still need to get some more shit kicked into gear and a good chunk of regrets, but I'm already cooking my meme of the league project

[celest wagon]

found one 🙂

[fierce moth]

My experience with totem is quite good compare with the past about hexblast regardless. Follow the guide to spec passive net is cozy

I realize many similar boss skills are appeared in poe 2 so the experience in Poe 2 is much easier for Poe players than non Poe players

[ebon meadow]

Hmm didn't know that wtf

[ebon meadow]

He still kicked my ass anyways I just transition wile leveling and yea he won xdd

But knowing that u pay only once is very nice

[junior oyster]

Wait what the mercs betray you?

[ebon meadow]

no , i was under level and literally just swapped skills lul

he kicked my ass in the fight trying to hire him

[twilit mountain]

@mental talon welp. Guess I'm gonna try that idea I had at some point.

[desert jasper]

Yoo that's sick

[maiden widget]

damn

[fierce moth]

lol have slept 11h before wake up...

[fierce moth]

Wow physical micro gothic cathedral interior room looks fantastic

[fierce moth]

@ember lake Do you have a cat and are you a Christian?

[ember lake]

Had 2 growing up, not anymore and I don't have a faith

but I can appreciate beautiful architecture

[mental talon]

Oh baby it's time

[fierce moth]

@blissful token ohhh I'm right. Ave have cats!

So it's reasonable for her to attract by cats before

[blissful token]

But no more now 😸

Funny thing, new cats get into my household. I get allergy, flu followed by MC

Its like a ritual

[ember lake]

The cat distribution system has not blessed me again yet

[blissful token]

At one point, the doc had to prescribe abnormal antibody for me cuz the normal type didnt work. Gosh...

[fierce moth]

Ok, as you said :)

[ember lake]

Your work has been amazing!

[desert jasper]

the walls have eyes

[ember lake]

The little lights! And the book having pages!!

[desert jasper]

Also @ember lake I don't actually really like most whisky
There was something good that a friend recommended to me once but I can't remember what it was tbh

[ember lake]

That's fair, I'm a fan and Scotland is the home of good whisky 😅 If you like peaty/earthy you want Laphroaig 10. If you like lighter/sweeter - you want Kilchoman Machir Bay

[desert jasper]

Also don't think I could convince them to bring me any either
They both think excessive alcohol is bad
sister doesn't drink at all and mom has maybe like 1 beer every 2 months

[ember lake]

G'dammit - I'm making sure my honeymoon/next holiday is by you via Scotland just to get you some decent alcohol xD

[blissful token]

I cant get used to the taste and smell of alcohol

[desert jasper]

You could also see the castle we have here
It's actually not that interesting or grand
but the medieval fair is held close to it every year (was last weekend)

[ember lake]

Perfect excuse to go imo - I've seen most of the UK castles at this point xD

The lighting is superb as well, you should be really proud of these!

[tawny sand]

i know it's based on real life, but every time i see gothic architecture i think of warhammer 40k instead lol

i got brainrot

[ember lake]

When the student becomes the Master

[fierce moth]

I'm managing my renders and post them as a project on artstation

Unfortunately I can't find a chance to post soul church but maybe it can come back in the future

[desert jasper]

facebook stalking once again
talked a bit with a clerk at the store
and now facebook is like "hey you might know this person"
and I didn't even know her name

[ember lake]

Location based data?

[desert jasper]

We do have 1 friend in common
so I guess those 2 things

[ember lake]

Potentially, this is why I have location data off for most things 😅

[desert jasper]

I thought I had it off
or maybe she stalks me

[mental talon]

@twilit mountain Voidborn delivers lmao

[desert jasper]

Unethical

Damn it's the most dramatic moment, my heart is broken too...

[twilit mountain]

Luckyyyyyy. I'm still scrounging cash together. Need a max util Tides, two Enhance 3s (4s at some point), Ashes, and to redo my suffixes on body.

[fierce moth]

Our neighborhood have server tag and gradient colourful tags now

[twilit mountain]

Wait are you still 5 link gaming??

[mental talon]

Yep Voidstones, T17s all I need is a 5 link EZ

[twilit mountain]

Gawd damn. Well done

I just self-crafted and linked a good chest to use since 6L is rather big for the funny brand build

[mental talon]

Yeah I dont think Ive ever tried for a 6L until like week 2. I just finished this chest lemme post it

[twilit mountain]

Holy armor

[mental talon]

I burned 8ish Divs I still technically need to recraft it but tbh Im just gonna rock this until a Mageblood and then make a new one tbh

Because God knows Im gonna flip this HH asap

[twilit mountain]

Fair enough, that's just in general really good.

[mental talon]

Yeah Im hoping to xddBusiness this sooner rather than later

The BiS Armor for me would get a Sacred Chainmail but my character literally too stupid to wear it xdd

[twilit mountain]

That's my character name! DeiasXDDBusiness

[twilit mountain]

Going for the whole regen ES on phys hit + Divine Shield angle?

Is that the name of the keystone?

[mental talon]

Ya. Sacred Chainmail + Paladin Gloves and then I'm gonna probably swap to Jugg and go Strength stacking with a Influenced Shield and 1 H Mace with the Increased Spell Damage Per Str + Crown of Eyes and no Warcry stuff. I need to also PoB how much Crit I can get with the Infamous Warcry Flat Crit mod as well to see if that can make me stay Zerker and just steal something from Chieftain or Jugg with FF

[twilit mountain]

The warcry crit just feels so clunky to me

I need to check my FF combo price. I forgot about that.

[mental talon]

Yeah I will warn I am kind of unhinged and I manually press about 4 Warcries on my slam builds because I like those buffs and I'm now a coward and autoexert the other 4 if the Warcry Crit ends up being more Dam than Echoes of Creation with minimal Crit multi investment I'll go that route and figure out from there. Otherwise current plan is swap to Jugg and Str stack (also depends on price of OSin this league in a few weeks)

[twilit mountain]

OSin was at 400d last night iirc

Which is over double from the previous day lol

[twilit mountain]

I will never play a warcry reliant build again. I suffered enough on my str stack Rage Vortex.

[mental talon]

Yeah I expect OSin to hit 2 Mirrors so this might be a no Str stack league for me lmao. Other option I thought about was playing Inquis since you cap Crit pretty easy anyways and can just go Int stack angle with a Hunter+ Elder Sceptre or something. We'll see in the next week or so first gotta yoink myself a Mageblood

[twilit mountain]

Godspeed, brother. You got this.

[fierce moth]

I like your discord status through I can't 100% understand because I want someone say the same sentence to me to express I deserve some love too hhhh

[twilit mountain]

Thanks. It's from a song that I find rather relaxing and cute.

[mental talon]

[twilit mountain]

Uh oh

I've seen this episode before

since i was done with LE S2, bought slormancer - pretty fun. Nice QOL.

RE9, SF6, MHW TU2, Pragmata

[fierce moth]

🤔 I wonder how to get recommendation from these professional people in game industry without any background

Looks like it's more rare than winning a lottery

If
experience ❎
portfolio ❎
connection ✅
Then still have hope

But the funny thing is connection is base on portfolio and experience... (you're value for them)

hah so many keys need to press to play Deias's build

base on skill slots have showed

🙃 Maybe that's the time for me to push myself, speak in front of the len... (Thinking how to promote my art through a video)

[twilit mountain]

Eh, one of them I only click once per big enemy. I click mines 3 times every 10 seconds, I click the curse once every 9 seconds. And then I just spam right click to keep uptime as best I can. Outside of that it's just movement skills.

[fierce moth]

How to build the confidence...

I want the confidence like Judd

100% no idea what should I say to introduce myself in front of the len

The main thing is I don't have the habit that share a thing through the language. I'm a visual animal

[fierce moth]

Hiya how am I make my portfolio as a PDF file... Hair -100

I'm surprised they even don't know Artstation need VPN to view in China. They just respond "oh I can't open the link"

Completely no idea how are they hire people.

I think they're dumb and stupid to be honest. They want to hire concept artists, character artists, environment artists, but they even don't know how to view the most popular website in game industry, Artstation.

[fierce moth]

Ok, verified dumb HR +1

[fierce moth]

Chinese + be poor is a shit combo debuff

[blissful token]

Kirra, did you happen to stumble upon tokyo genso art?

[fierce moth]

Wait, let me ask deepseek what genso art is

[sage flame]

@ember lake mwahahaha

Now I know

[ember lake]

Gregory deserves to be known by the masses!

[tawny sand]

I'm really interested in what they do with RE9, it seemed like we're going back to raccoon city based on the trailer

[fierce moth]

I feel it's quite familiar because architecture assets this art style need are what I lived and I saw frequently in Guangzhou, it's not limited in Tokyo only... HK or Guangzhou have similar assets, it's my opinion after I checked out many works.

Inspirations are everywhere... 😅

But I never want to print and record them because that's what I want to escape 😂

[blissful token]

ahh

looks nice

tokyo genso illustrate post-apocalypse state of tokyo

and how Earth reclaims the land

[fierce moth]

I'm not interested in Tokyo itself to be honest lol
But it's interesting to travel from Europe beck to my city and re-think them in a new way

I can try this art style as the July's work

[fierce moth]

Lol meet a influenced pasty shop in zero distance for the first time, this brand is popular in Shanghai and it's the first shop in Guangzhou

I can see nothing inside, the inside is deep

The power of marketing...

[desert jasper]

I'm bored and I've no idea what to do

[vagrant topaz]

Start with an sugar free ice cream

It's hot today

[desert jasper]

Not hot here
It's raining and only +14C

[fierce moth]

I guess no way for France to on the same temperature

[fierce moth]

it's unexpecting

[vagrant topaz]

"unexpected"

And I dont see why
Its summer Time in the Northern Hemisphere

[desert jasper]

Tbh I kinda want to play more PoE
But I don't know what character I'd even play
not really feeling the totems

[vagrant topaz]

Snaking looks fun

Rolling Magma too

I am a "fan" of Lacerate but from what I know it sucks

[fierce moth]

why? Are you playing totems? https://pobb.in/pPTkhizfOZFI

[fierce moth]

I thought France will keep below 30c even in summer

[desert jasper]

Yes, I'm playing flameblast totems

Even Finland can go over 30C during summer

[fierce moth]

oh our totems are different

hah I want cold air in summer

[desert jasper]

.. and my apartment goes over 30C too during that time

[fierce moth]

do you use decoy totems? Which support gems are you matching with flame totems?

[desert jasper]

Yeah, I played a lacerate glad some leagues ago
"some" could be a few years by now tbh

[vagrant topaz]

We are not so north that it stays cool like that

[desert jasper]

I do not have decoy totems, I have the mastery that my totems taunt nearby enemies for 1second on summon
I currently have: Flameblast of Celerity, spell totem, combustion and multiple totems

So if I also get a shaper shield with +1 to max totems I'll have 6 totems casting it

Buut I'm thinking of just rolling another character really

[fierce moth]

oh my Jesus. Your place is as hot as my place.

[desert jasper]

Car also gets hot

[fierce moth]

oh I can summon 5 totems at max now

We're the same

[desert jasper]

Tbh I'm not exactly sure why I even started totems
I've literally never liked totem builds in poe
like sure, I'll play it but it never feels that good or satisfying

[fierce moth]

I'm much more happy to play totem build in poe instead because I played hexblast like a chaos before

🤔 shaper shield, will notice that later

[desert jasper]

shaper shield just meaning that a shield with shaper influence

[fierce moth]

ohhh that's very endgame

[desert jasper]

It's like uhh... lvl 80 something? requirement

[fierce moth]

lol

lv 52 only so far

[desert jasper]

Hmm... why is volcanic fissure of snaking so expensive all of a sudden
it wasn't 30c a few days ago 🤔

[desert jasper]

And now it's 35c
sheesh

[twilit mountain]

Very popular skill, one of the best melee skills in the game, and people actually have money to use now

[desert jasper]

smh imagine having dosh

[twilit mountain]

Most trans gems are pretty low value until like day 3

[twilit mountain]

Can't imagine it. Bought an Ashes so I'm back to scrounging chaos together again. Next on the menu: probably max util roll Tides.

[desert jasper]

Well anyway
Got one with 20% now

[fierce moth]

😂 alright all of the North sphere is hot... Let's escape to Australia and New Zealand

[tawny sand]

i don't think austrailia is cold lol

it's mostly desert

[twilit mountain]

Yeeeeah, Aus and NZ are rather hot

[desert jasper]

Even during their winter it's like +20C

[sand wigeon]

Average video game

[fierce moth]

No country is cool?

[vagrant topaz]

Scotland was so nice

First year we lived there was the Hottest Summer ever recorded..... 25°

[sand wigeon]

Breaking news: the world seems to be warmer than in the past. How odd.

[desert jasper]

Hmm
Snaking seems good so far
ranged mercs rip me though

[fierce moth]

@gilded elmMay I add you in poe?

Need to deal with 2nd ascendence after get up

[gilded elm]

What do you mean? You already added me a while ago, back in PoE2 release lol

[fierce moth]

Hah interesting, netease decided to make a 3A game based on a story happened in desert ruins of Tang dynasty, but the trailer have nothing about gameplay and in-game UI, 100% storytelling.

How will the second 3A game from China going is what I'm thinking 🤔

[fierce moth]

Hah so you'll on the list of my friend list in Poe too? Damn alright I'm confused who is who on my friend list

Oh netease, sorry

[fierce moth]

https://youtu.be/xuXwf4oVV6s?si=1aZprgpg_HpXXziX
Oh Netease just release Japanese subtitle

The info the trailer spoiled is too less

[fierce moth]

Hhhhhh 3A mean PC/IOS/Android for Netease (a random comment)

Chinese game studios never give up earning money from mobile games exactly

That's so cool if something can happen in real and it's as similar as the story 归唐 have told. Because it mean I'm specially. I can find a job easily instead of be rejected again and again 😆 I'm not care about my life, because my life is for being a hero.

[fierce moth]

Are you here?

[desert jasper]

friends list between poe and poe2 isn't shared

[fierce moth]

It's make sense

Contacted 112 HR, 6 HR respond "I can't open the link", another ones just read but no respond or not read my messages yet.
The view of my projects is 26, 28, 24 now.
So I can get the conclusion is they're not view my Artstation at all.

sigh, my mum keep calling me to do basic logistics work in warehouse on the other side.

[maiden widget]

you need to use the stuff your target audience uses, sending them things they cant watch without a vpn means they just reject it

[fierce moth]

yeah shxt Chinese internet

[pine summit]

<t:1750505400:F> - NTE CN/JP stream <t:1750557600:F> NTE Global stream [auto converted to your timezone]

(supernatural open world big scale gacha thing i posted about earlier)

next tof map (previous game from nte devs, nte has eight times the staff etc)

[fierce moth]

@gilded elm you said I just need to select execute and which?

oh ok find the history. Bargain and execute

[twilit mountain]

Betrayal has given three of my friends full stacks of Immortals or Unrequited Loves this league

[pine summit]

next char hint maybe

[fierce moth]

damn, soul eater

I remember it's one of the most powerful buff of enemies

[twilit mountain]

It's basically the most busted one in the game. Unfun to fight.

[ebon meadow]

The more mobs u drag and kill next to that thing the stupider it gets

I hate soul eaters

In delve they are my nightmare

[fierce moth]

The general of campaign in poe is quite similar with poe 2. I feel I'm "working" instead of "playing" once I played campaign over 2h

[ebon meadow]

No one like the campaign in Poe1 it feels like burden after 3rd time that's why we zoom as fast as we can through it

[twilit mountain]

I don't mind it.

But also my average completion time is like 8 hours tops

[fierce moth]

Most of campaign time I spent on finding where the waypoint is And maps are quite massive so I dislike running and running more and more

[twilit mountain]

So

[ebon meadow]

Poe 2 is a bit different feels like they wanted campaign to be a part of the gameplay to hard

[ebon meadow]

It gets easier every time lol for me now is enter zone go straight to way point or boss

Temples exits are always the opposite the entrance that the only tip I can give lol

Sometimes it changes but mostly it's go diagonal

[mental talon]

Yeah it's literally a practice thing. Great runners do their campaign in sub 3, practiced sub 5 good in like sub 8 and the rest of the population is usually 11+

[ebon meadow]

Sub 8 for me still on fresh stash and char

[twilit mountain]

Mine would go faster if I was smart and went with things that level well

[ebon meadow]

9 k hours almost

[mental talon]

Tbh as long as you're 11 or less you're kinda fine if you care about trying to progress around the same rate as most of the community

[ebon meadow]

Yep same issue here

[mental talon]

You probably aren't gonna break sub 4 without years of practice 8 with at least some knowledge so tbh ain't for that 7-10 hr gap and you're good

[twilit mountain]

This league is one of the only times I used a leveling build and swapped afterwards, and it was a skill I have never used so my time was a bit over 7h

[mental talon]

*aim for that

[sand wigeon]

Meanwhile, in Tarkov, streamers progress about 8x as fast as other players due to their skill and efficiency

[mental talon]

I feel that I'm out of practice so I had like a 6:30 run (I also had a bunch of crashing DCs xdd)

[ebon meadow]

I think my best was 4:28 to maps and that's with an actual starter build

[twilit mountain]

My fastest run was just shy of 5h but it was so far back that phase skipping Kitava was still a thing

[mental talon]

Yeah I'm gonna go back to practicing end league to get back below 5 hr legit Im washed right now 😦

[ebon meadow]

Also streamers just play more than a normal people ,we take to many breaks as we should do

[mental talon]

Probably spend a week or 2 of just practice tbh

[sand wigeon]

A lot of Tarkov streamers don’t actually play a ton compared to non-streamers

They’re just very skilled and very efficient

[mental talon]

Thanks for making me age in real time

[twilit mountain]

I do like, one practice run per league, if I feel like I need to test smth

[ebon meadow]

For me it's just remeber basic layouts

[twilit mountain]

It was a lightning trap build. Think about the last time that wasn't terrible.

[sand wigeon]

Isn’t that when I met you?

[mental talon]

Deias really just out her saying "You're old" 🥲

[twilit mountain]

No, that was like 3 years before we met still

[sand wigeon]

I swear you played a lightning trap around the time I met you

[twilit mountain]

I did

It was bad

[mental talon]

I'm leaving 😭

[twilit mountain]

Lol

[sand wigeon]

Oh okay

[twilit mountain]

I just wanted to test it cuz I had a funny idea with it, this was like... Betrayal-Synth era, roughly

[sand wigeon]

Back when I played ice spears.

[mental talon]

Oh yeah did you get your gloves yet @twilit mountain

[sand wigeon]

It’s too warm for those

[twilit mountain]

Which ones?

[mental talon]

The mine chain

[twilit mountain]

Ah. Yeah, I've got them hanging around. Haven't figured out when to use em, I'm still scaling the GPU melter atm

[sand wigeon]

Average Tarkov bitcoin farm

[twilit mountain]

I wish veiled exalts could hit conversions

[mental talon]

Classic

[twilit mountain]

Those gloves could be made giga

[mental talon]

Getting the Catarina fight genuinely feels so ass right now I've had 2 from maybe 40 safehouses. It's kinda cooked ngl

[fierce moth]

@sand wigeon How will you answer "You're at freelance work in past but you're willing to enter a company to work, why"

[mental talon]

It takes forever to get safehouse and Medallion feels stupid rare idk.

[fierce moth]

👀 A HR ask me this question

[mental talon]

At least the Allflames are kinda money I guess

[twilit mountain]

I got my mana cost as low as it can go now, Ashes and Tides are up, next thing is probably qual on all my gems? Maxing my awakened fire pen? Idk really. Levels would help but lmao low evasion

[mental talon]

Oh you're cooking (almost)

[sand wigeon]

Kirra, I have zero work experience.

“I’m excited to be a part of a positive company culture and contribute more heavily to positive teamwork and possible leadership opportunities.”

“I’m looking to expand my skillset and this offer seems like a great choice.”

Like idk

[twilit mountain]

Yeah. It's nice. Mapping is just deletion. As long as things die I don't. Have all voidstones, most invites done (need Feared and the breach one), not quite finished with map progress (some just don't wanna exist so I'm missing like 3 non-uniques). Haven't done T17 yet, went to do Fortress but turns out infinite slow hurts.
I want my FF but it's like 30d

[sand wigeon]

I have 200d I can lend you

(decimal points)

[twilit mountain]

No you don't

[mental talon]

I've been using a Garb of Ephemeral Merc to solve my slows NGL lmao

[twilit mountain]

I don't think mine can wear that

[mental talon]

I'm cooked if my Merc dies it solves like all my mitigation but they like never die so hey won't complain

Oh yeah I'm rocking a Str Int Merc with dual Sceptres

Sign of the Sin Eater+ Singularity and Garb

[twilit mountain]

Pure str here iirc. Homie's just giving me damage. Lots of damage.

[mental talon]

Ailment Immune, Hinder, and Action Speed Immune

Plus Singularity gives me like 100% Inc Damage my Merc aurabot is saving me so much currency right now

[twilit mountain]

I could farm the money for Garb today maybe. I'd need to find a new merc though

And losing the auras would kinda suck

[mental talon]

Yeah Str Int guy just carries hard because he hugs my butt and drops a giga Conc Ground every second

[twilit mountain]

I'll keep an eye out though. Str int guys kill me usually, I think. Or at least the absolution guy. He's bullshit.

[sand wigeon]

I’m stealing you for celebrations tonight BTW

[twilit mountain]

Targets me with Abso off screen. Yeah alright, sure.

[twilit mountain]

Eh?

[sand wigeon]

Summer solstice

[twilit mountain]

Is that today?

[mental talon]

Girl. That guy absolutely destroyed me the first time I saw him. I was not prepared

[sand wigeon]

Yes

[twilit mountain]

Thought that was tomorrow

[mental talon]

"Oh I'll just... I'm dead"

That one and the Shield Crush guy gave me nightmares

[twilit mountain]

Literally my experience

"It's just Absolution, I'll be fi- where'd my ES go?"

[mental talon]

Yeah lmao

[twilit mountain]

I have just under 7k and it just goes poof

[mental talon]

Yeah I had like Max res and a Topaz Flask up and he said "Yeah right you thought this would be enough" ☠️

[sand wigeon]

My merc is way cooler than yours

It’s got… stuff

Probably

I haven’t played this league

[twilit mountain]

81% res and it just doesn't matter

[mental talon]

"You thought"

[twilit mountain]

Like, I understand why the shield crush guy rinses me, I have like 55% evade, of course it'll turn me to dust, but this dude??

[mental talon]

I still remember before the Merc changes I saw the Vaal Ground Slam guy with an Amethyst with T1 Life, T2 WED, T2 Chaos Res and All Res T2 I was so hyped then he said "Nah this is mine fam"

I'm still salty about it lmao

[twilit mountain]

Gaaaah don't remind me about early slammers. The VFoS guy ran away with 2d cuz he popped it instantly as the timer went off

[tawny sand]

is this league fun?

my friend's been playing it and i haven't heard from her since it launched lol

[twilit mountain]

I'm enjoying it outside of some balance moments

[sand wigeon]

Kingsmarch went core and that’s what matters

[twilit mountain]

Real

My farm has like 150k gold to get through. Then I must ship.

[mental talon]

Yeah once my workout is over I'm back to blasting tbh part of it is I just freaking really miss PoE 1

[twilit mountain]

I'm stuck at the DMV

[mental talon]

Unfortunate

[twilit mountain]

Or BMV. Or whatever.

Need me an ID

[sand wigeon]

Deias, we should totally play Tarkov once I have the Knossos LLC Utility Key and a Labrys Access Card just so I can force you into the Labryinth and watch you die from all the traps

[twilit mountain]

Current one is out of state and expires next year

[mental talon]

I hope the line is the absolute worst. Best of luck

ISNT

[sand wigeon]

We’ve been here for about two hours and there’s still likely another two to go

[mental talon]

LMAO Isn't not is whoops

[twilit mountain]

Thankfully I am sitting down waiting another like 30 something people ahead of me

[mental talon]

Nice that can be like another hour or a day. Who knows no one knows.

[twilit mountain]

Right?

[mental talon]

🫡

[twilit mountain]

Hopefully not too long... I need to go farm the synth maps for a Cortex, and suuuuurely pull a giga ring

[fierce moth]

oh I have a good idea 🫡 ASK DEEPSEEK lol

[sand wigeon]

Please do not ask an AI

[fierce moth]

I find deepseek is an good assistant when I have troubles on how to speak something in a good way 🤔

To be honest, I think this HR just want to confirm will I go to work in a stable way

[sand wigeon]

AI in general is not an amazing thing to be using

[fierce moth]

you're right

[sand wigeon]

Huge security flaws, questionable environmental effects and awful moral stature

[twilit mountain]

"We serve 50 people an hour"
Me who's had my ticket for over an hour and a half and watched the number go up by exactly 22

[fierce moth]

Freelance work have allowed me to accumulate diverse experiences, but I have also realized the limits of my personal abilities. I hope to join a team, create greater value through collaboration, and continue to grow in a systematic environment. Your company's professional division of labor and resources in the field of gaming can help me deepen my skills, which is the key point.
In the past, when I was fighting alone, I often had to take care of the whole workflow. Now I want to focus more on the direction of environmental concept design, the resources provided by the company can enhance me to produce results more efficiently, while being exposed to larger and more challenging projects. Now that AI image-generation tools are becoming better and better, I believe that future opportunities require closer teamwork and how people use AI tools to maximize their creativity. Your company's layout in this regard is consistent with my career goals, so I hope to contribute the flexible execution experience accumulated in the past and grow with the company.

I sent that

[sand wigeon]

You translated this from Mandarin?

[fierce moth]

It's funny that share my experience about finding a job under eyes of a boss though hhhhhh

Yeah, It's me. :)

[fierce moth]

Deepseek + google translation + my brain

[sand wigeon]

It’s very flawed English

So if you’re submitting an English application it’s going to be very noticeable

[fierce moth]

🤭 I don't think they will allow me to write it down even. They will require me to speak that in a video interview

Speak them clearly, confidently and smoothly

[fierce moth]

oh make sense. I need one more tool, grammarly

[sand wigeon]

Grammarly is not very good

Kirra, are you often applying to English-speaking companies?

It might be worth the time and effort to just become fully fluent in English

[fierce moth]

I want to apply full-English game companies indeed but I even don't know these companies (their games) and how to polish my cv

[sand wigeon]

You need better language skills before you’re concerned with either of those, I’ll be frank

[fierce moth]

I can feel their requirements are pretty strict

[sand wigeon]

Is there not anything you can apply to locally?

[fierce moth]

the more important thing is why are they want to hire an international people instead of local people? Sigh... It's the most difficult.

[fierce moth]

That's the local case

[sand wigeon]

Mm, China’s work culture is awful in a lot of ways

[fierce moth]

I can't expect every company can welcome people from all over the world like EHG

[sand wigeon]

I don’t think you could realistically work in an English-only environment with your current skill level, honestly. I can understand you just fine in casual conversation, but that’s through a mixture of methods and it’s not your native skill level. If you want to be working for these companies, I’d prioritize basic fluency before anything else.

You’re also realistically not going to get a job in game development off the rip. You need a lot of experience in less important factors of game dev before you become something like a developer or artist

[fierce moth]

Nothing is less important lol

[sand wigeon]

Gamedev is a very difficult industry to get into, yes

[fierce moth]

I even don't have the most basic thing, game experience

[sand wigeon]

And it’s also not very profitable nor is it a gentle work culture

Game development is an industry that understand the people who want to work on games love games

Which means they’ll give up a lot just for that privilege, including a work-life balance, good pay and other such things

There’s a reason lots of people wash out of game dev and go into more general compsci positions that can make a lot more money

[fierce moth]

oh ok so I need to show my experience on games because they need to see what my principle is

[sand wigeon]

You need experience developing games / a portfolio of art made for games

Your experience playing games won’t matter

[fierce moth]

🤭 My principle isn't relevant to game indeed, it's just because game development is one of several ways to get money

[sand wigeon]

It’s very difficult to make money off of art

[fierce moth]

yeah I must own the ability to make a game by myself then... everything in game development I must learn

[sand wigeon]

I’d recommend making and licensing an asset pack in your art style, frankly

It’s a good way to show you’ve made art that can work for games and it allows you to make a little money off it

[fierce moth]

The tricky thing is how to promote your assets

[sand wigeon]

Indeed

[tawny sand]

Could start by releasing simple free asset packs maybe? and posting in various places about it

while having more expensive asset packs on the side

[sand wigeon]

I’ll sadly say that it’s very unrealistic to expect your art to be a job

[sand wigeon]

Good idea.

[sand wigeon]

I’m an artist myself, and I understand that it’s an extraordinarily lucky few artists who are allowed the privilege of making it their job.

[tawny sand]

yeah, i used to write and send out to journals. Got more rejections than acceptances, it's hard out there

[sand wigeon]

I myself am likely going into real estate as a real estate agent in the far future

[twilit mountain]

I will become bedrot incarnate

[sand wigeon]

Go find a rich person to be a housewife for

[twilit mountain]

Bedrot.

[sand wigeon]

[twilit mountain]

That or be ground into a fine paste. I could make a good glue, I think.

[tawny sand]

lol
