and movement speed outside of activation is gone if you get hit so eh
Fiora or Aatrox sound better if we talk champions I've played x'D
Aatrox matchup could be interesting
Fiora is way better than aatrox into panth
The aatrox matchup favours panth pretty hard
you can w aatrox q1 and e q3
but it's an interesting one, because I believe both Qs have the similar range on first cast ?
You basically have to bait panth w with q1 and e backwards
yeah but that doesn't matter you'll never trade q's and if you do panth empowered q does more
hmm, true
the only way the aatrox wins is if he can bait the panth w with q1 and e backwards, because then it will hit him mid air and cancel his w and then you can w and q2 and q3
but even then he will block one of them with e
so you have to hope he makes a mistake and even if he does you get one empowered q off
preferably Q2
lategame it becomes more even since you can just ult and run him down
but good Pantheon will do that when Aatrox has no passive, because that one lets him really trade
After you w the q1 you can q and empowered e to back up
so the aatrox can't use passive even if it's up
yeah, and he really needs to land it
yeah, it's just not a favourable matchup
you have to consistently outplay the panth
fiora on the other hand can just w the panth w and she wins
and she does not care about Pantheon grabbing possible defensive items
yeah most of panths defensive items are in the form of hp which she doesn't care about
I think I know why league kept me in its grasp for so long, I like theorycrafting about league way more than playing it. Magic arena filled that void 
lul
yeah as you can see from the screenshot I don't play all that much nowadays, maybe 3 games a day max and usually not every day
It used to be pretty much the only game I played back in the day
Man maybe in out of battery from playing the LE season but struggling to get into D4.
Nylah
aw hell nah
High dmg
Close range
Made of paper
It's alright to take a break from the genre
Just like shatter Strike Spellblade
It's nothing like shatter strike spellblade get outta here with that lmao
Ambessa maybe
that's more fitting
I haven't really gotten into her though, I usually play brusiers/fighters
And soraka
for some reason
Amb "35% ban rate" essa
Is it still that high? she's not really that crazy anymore
damn it's still at around 15-20% that's crazy lol
she is annoying for sure
35% overall, tightens as you specify ranks
what's overall? the average between all ranks is 6.8%
highest is chall with 26.4%
Ain't nobody playing her in iron for her to be banned ig lol
Honestly it's just her ult being an insane engage that makes her so strong, it's like having a malphite but they actually do stuff after ulting
I think the data gets screwy depending on site update frequency, and some are taking all matches instead of just ranked as well
makes sense, I mean even 20% is insanely high
mel reigns supreme though
she has like 30%+ banrate across all ranks lul
Caitlyn is hilariously high, too. Maybe League players just hate Arcane xdd
cait is just disgusting rn tbh
recent item changes were super good for her so she's just super oppressive with her range
I haven't played a match against humans yet, unless you count the two hours I played like, 9 years ago.
That was on a different account, before I even started using the name Deias regularly
I'm once again ending up as a support player in a multiplayer team based competitive game. The assist farming calls to me ๐
It's either that or I pick the role where I disappear for 20 minutes and then show up again and start killing people, yeah. I usually just lack the situational awareness and mechanical skill (poor motor skills'll do that to ya apparently) to keep that up consistently.
Just don't become a yuumi main 
I like actually playing my video games
thank god
I've been trying out Nami a little. Fish lady kinda nice.
A good nami is super valuable
Well see that's where the problem lies, I'm a stubborn creature and learn really slowly. I can't just mimic a video or written guide or whatever, I have to actually go over something with my own hands on repeat for hours to learn, and often need to have what I'm doing wrong get pointed out exactly. And since I can't record things that means I'm kinda SOL for improving consistently at a certain point.
Meh that's fine. Unless your goal is to get to a certain rank within a certain timeframe who cares
I've never watched a league guide or anything, I've just played the game for so long that I'm halfway decent at it
Fair enough. Not much of a climber in most games, only game I've ever been highly competitive in is Destiny and it kinda broke my mental after a few years.
I just end up feeling bad for letting people down. I don't really play multiplayer on my own anymore, I'm pretty much always duo'd at minimum.
lol lmao don't
you have nothing to feel sorry for in league ever
Coming from someone with 0 punishments and warnings and max honour since the start of the system everyone is just as bad as you are where you're playing
it just doesn't feel like it sometimes
and obviously you'll get the ocassional smurf or whatever but overall you are where you belong 99% of the time
Me looking at the guy who watched me lock in Nami and proceeded to lock in Swain with the message "bot supp". Supp for who, dude?
oh god is draft pick still locked for you?
I forgot that was even a thing
blind pick is just hell
Not anymore thankfully, but that was what happened on my last match before I got there
Yeah forget blind pick ever existed rofl
Blind pick is a special place apparently. I watched someone pick Pantheon and go sit in jungle. And then half the time we just don't have a jungle.
People keep trying to duo lane mid in blind pick, it's confusing
yep
Nah bro
I am worth master, but my teammate are holding me in gold
Surely
I mean depending on how much someone plays it can be somewhat true but you usually reach your rank pretty fast
unless you're playing 1 game a week it's just not gonna be true
lmao that's a new one
Average Valorant player too tbqh. Like. I know I'm Bronze, I assure you I'm well aware of my skill. But c'mon, man, you just full swung a Reyna blind and stood on a molly'd spike, you really think I'm gonna believe you when you say "I'm peak Immortal!"
I want to say classic competitive video game experience
I saw that in lol, rocket league
Dont think I have played "competitively" other games
If you want an actual broken rank system look at Deadlock lol, smth like 15% of the playerbase is in Eternus (the highest rank bracket in the game).
Lol
Wtf
That's seems realistic
Deadlock has this thing called "rank volatility" where if you play more often it makes your rank harder to change lmao
So you get hardstuck until you just stop playing for a little while
but why
Valve
๐คฃ
The balancing is phenomenally bad in that game, but people don't see it because they just look at winrates and nothing else
There's a character that can travel basically entire lanes on very low cooldowns with zero investment, while also dealing extremely high burst damage with that travel and has a built in counter ability that cancels almost every enemy ult. It is is not a skillshot. It is also not an ult, just a base ability.
There's another character that auto-aims, auto-lanes, and auto-farms. And the only reason she's irrelevant right now is because the entire community has had to beg for nerfs for 3 months, otherwise she is in every lobby :)
(For clarity on why this is bad to look at in this instance, the main reason a number of characters have low win rates even in the highest elo is because the entire lobby will and do decide to jump that specific character on repeat before they get too strong. This is viable as a strategy because the movement in that game is straight bullshit on the high end.)
That's the guy, man's attained the spot of being the most hated character in the game in every single rank
The annoyance people feel towards Apollo is really only rivalled by Infernus and Dynamo being a permanent stay in every match at the moment
yeah so I found better gloves
Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
Managed to complete the base painting in one session, holy speed
Even did a bit of freehand
Just shading and layering pending for this guy now
Knew it must be apollo
Doesn't help that he also has silence + slow in same ability
Dude he's so balanced haha, he only forces your entire team to buy Silence Wave or Slowing Hex to be able to fight him for 3 seconds of time per fight haha. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that he has the most mobile kit in the game and can hit bursts of 500+ damage 5 minutes into the game with a disengage ability haha. :)))))))
Yup...
Every game has its falconer
3rd time hitting the gym in a week
It's starting to feel nicer again

New poe2 teaser
Sword shown
maybe we'll finally get swords (doubt)
@mental talon something came up so unfortunately I won't be able to play today. Maybe Saturday?
Yeah all good I'm heading out for a hike now anyways
That reminded me of a great break down xdd
Tldr hike was mentioned as go touch grass
Steam Controllers already sold out xd
Lol
I got 2, one for me with a white reshell, and a normal oner for the missus
Played a bit of Poe again to get my heist members unlocked
but boy, the mechanic gets boring and fast
Was it possible to scalp the steam controller?
It feels like that's what happened
Or otherwise valve made a relatively small batch thinking they may not sell well. This seems like an unlikely decision though
People did try reselling it on ebay already for like 150% the price
some of those got reported and banned from ebay
Yes, the only limit Steam put was 2 per transaction. Super easy to bot.
The only ones banned were those that didn't explicitly state it was a presale; Ebay doesn't care about scalping they just care about listings being accurate
Ah, rip
Tbh I was kinda tempted to get one
but don't have extra cash to throw at it currently
and they sold out in like 30min anyway

Barely an inconvenience?
Sorry I kinda had to. I'll see myself out.
Pitch Meeting is a goldmine
ugh I want the steam controller!
Hopefully they make another batch and this time make it a bit harder for scalpers to buy
Oh I'm sure they'll make another batch
Not sure if the controller itself is good though. Not saying it's bad but I think I prefer the trackpads to be on the top lol
Then again I guess it's ok and the only way to know would be to get one myself
idk why they didnt just lock it to steam accounts who bought x amount of games
This is a real item from the cow level, it is a very long hidden quest that has taken years to figure out the full steps to. The item itself is a hyperbolic joke making fun of themselves for the early item design of the game. You can salvage it to use it as a cosmetic if you want, or just consider it a collector's item.
The quest has some major RNG and can take as little as 4 hours to over 20, and has to be done fully in a bit less than 8 days (666,666 seconds to be exact).
I found a really unique (ime) spin on roguelite bullet heaven: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3596700/TerraTech_Legion/
It's bullet hell but roguelite but driving but build-your-mech
Really enjoyable
The original TerraTech cooked real hard, I expect this is still quite solid too
it makes my inner Lego-loving child happy
the puzzle element of creating a mech that can support all the add-ons you're getting without blocking weapon lines of sight is really fun
I just don't got money for it, what I have is being saved so I can buy cards on Friday basically as a present
(For myself)
I'm really annoyed by this. I still have the controller in my cart though. Occasionally retrying to purchase it... heh.
do you want it though
also
slightly asshole thing to say but did GGG get some sort of bulk discount on Welsh/Scottish (whatever it is) VAs?
feels like every 2nd VA for PoE2 has that kind of accent
My kind of asshole guess ?
After the sagaftra union disaster/drama in gacha space they just went for british VAs. They didn't want to deal with that.
I didn't videogame VAs were part of SAG AFTRA
Yeah, I like TerraTech. I played a vaguely similar game yeeeears ago too before I could actually buy shit lol
AFAIK it's person-to-person basis
Basically yes. I've double checked and that infamous now strike indeed involved video game companies
Second part is to Anomander.
happy birthday
to another year of us being alive and managing not to kill each other
Another year, another attempt at building our hybrid criminal empire/fringe religious cult
they always seem to die two weeks in smh
trying not to doom but this looks like the first Nolan film that's gonna royally suck: https://youtu.be/f_bKjZeJBBI?si=_mswqMV5HySmkaof
if this is the trailer that's supposed to have most of the good bits, man, this is not a good first impression...
itโs crazy to me that people are still failing to create odyssey adaptations when one of the best written odyssey retellings of all time is an indie album
so, so close to beating the 2nd planet boss, like literally last pip of HP
RIP my highly responsive but ugly hunk of metal
aaayyyy we did it
@little ember gonna move it here ๐ Fangs of Asterkarn that adds Berserker class is the new expansion; other than the two expansions there, there is also Crucible which kinda works like Arena
every of those classes have few items and sets, a lot of items also work for 3 classes (but your character can only have 2 classes), so the build variety can be quite big
*"when" *
because i also have other games i could play atm
so i could wait some weeks ig
Could be summer this year, but its been already delayed since 2024, so cant really say for sure
oh well yea
It can be quite long game If you explore a lot and try different builds ๐
Yea, 100% worth ๐
what should i buy tho?
Definitive edition ๐ Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods are expansions that add content and classes; Crucible is the arena one where you mostly just grind for endgame gear and pushing the build limit to see If you can handle it, but it doesnt really add anything else, its more like a separate game mode within the game
then i m waiting for a sale for sure

Yea hopefully there will be some sales ๐ but time/price with the amount of content, its worth
ya but i know me
i buy so many games just to never touch them
Thats like 60% of my Steam
just check out the hrs i have in certain games in my steam profile 
Gd is oddly addictive imo
Of all the arpgs I've tried, Gd is the one game I kept going back to
So many amazing items that just make you go "oh, thats cool, now I wanna do a build with it"
This looks fun, gotta try it after work
i m gonna try it soon ig
i need to grind Terraria first
This movie has the worst costumes I've ever seen. And boy, TV Witcher set the bar on the ground with their "armors"
Not even close baby
the only life point that matters
"How many wheels does your vehicle have?"
"Yes."
how's controller support, seems like the perfect steam deck game tbh
but what the difference is...?
This is a testing feature so just a few people can assess that now
it's very much controller friendly but for some weird reason I REALLY prefer using the keyboard direction keys for this game
for some reason my brain shortcircuits trying to use the joystick for this
tracks are great, especially on the Mercenary
nice good to know, i somehow missed it has a demo so i'm gonna give it a shot now 
๐
when I use direction keys I'm able to associate the direction the vehicle is pointed in with the arrows correctly. But when I use controller, idk why but my brain just doesn't make that connection so my steering sucks
Sure hope your wife does the driving then xdd
I soaked ladyfingers in milk because I dislike coffee stuff. Condensed milk is what I used to season mascarpone cheese puree. No cocoa powder in home so I use crumbs from ladyfingers as the topping.
It's Chinese level's sweetness.
The first experience of homemade tiramisu is interesting but soaked ladyfingers determined it's a dessert which can't storaged for more than a day. ๐ค
Procrastination let me delayed "use ladyfingers to cook tiramisu" for 3 months lol
A cake with guava, pear & jasmine tea will be arrived tomorrow. Will share more details soon.
Looks tasty
The life that drink milk as water is good. Glad to experience that first time in 2026.
That reminded me that I need to go and buy some milk actually
Mind grabbing me a pack of 6 please?
I need to do some yogurt
You'd want 6L of milk?
3months?
450ml milk, it can last for 3-5 days. 3 months is reasonable
No 950ml milk in refrigeration display case here. All of them can just place under room temperature.
Focaccia! Oh I wish it's roasted longer so it's more crispy.
yeah, the crust was a bit too soft
I'm unsure why, but I've decided to put it out of the oven and have just a little bit of crispy layer than risk burning it
Focaccia is great
My brother makes it every now and then
Local way is eat focaccia with cream cheese or what?
Don't think I've ever eaten it with something
Just plain
We go through a batch of 3l per week
Fair
I go through 2L in a week alone
Oo
oO
Your guys consume so much milk
500ml per week mean a lot for me already. Make sense that Europeans always high on height
It's not really drinking milk that affects that
It's genetics
Ofc getting proper nutrients helps a lot
But like my brother never drinks milk and he's 20cm taller than me

Going to come true this dream tonight
Enjoy
I should actually get cooking lunch ๐ค
Thanks, it's an exclusive luxurious moment that once per year only because of ๐ :) The official day is tomorrow though. Plan to separate this dinner from tomorrow so I can enjoy ๐ at the first time
3,5l. At this point I am 50% condensed milk.
Holy... Too much salt I ate with wagyu. Quite full
Meat is too salty after ate a few plates because I need to season them after they're cooked. Seasons are regular so flavour became boring quickly...
Beef tongue and beef rib are quite chewy. High expectations for tongue I have so it's disappointing.
Understand why people like tender beef now lol
That looks awesome. Very nice!!! 
Ok I was looking for okra in her post because we call okra lady fingers lol
But it's a type of bread
Aah. When I hear ladyfingers I think of the biscuit/cookie
Yeah, same
Yeah, a cookie which can soak so much liquid
I have something can let someone feel hungry :)
wagyu needs very little salt because the meat is already so rich from the high fat content
Not into meat but enjoy
what do y'all use milk for? i only use it for baking
Cereal
Do any of you have a go-to cereal ?
Back when I was going gym I used it for protein shake
I drink it, mostly.
Either in protein shakes, sometimes hot cocoa or just like that
I made yogurt
My son and I eat yogurt every morning for breakfast
hot cocoa with milkโฆ
you make your yogurt? that makes sense then
We got through a batch of 3l of milk per week
Yeah sorry
I make yogurt
How will you eat your yogurt?
I did an extra batch this week infused with elderflower
that sounds like a lot of effort lol
Banger
tasty, but a lot of effort
It really isn't
i dump granola into it until itโs mostly granola and not yogurt
i was gunna say, iโm a loser online, anything is difficult for me
Boil milk
Put flowers in
Wait until milk go cold
Strain in the hot pot
Add sugar and a spoon of yogurt
Mix
"Cook" for 12h at 42ยฐC
Put in the fridge
the concept of boiling milk sounds horrifying so iโm already going to avoid that lmao
Lol
warm milkโฆ eugh
the like sour smell and stuff
Oo
i just do not like milk, it always smells and tastes sour to me, no matter how fresh it is
๐ค oh you're a sweet mouth
try that again kirra
I like salty stuff as breakfast only
iโm more sodium than carbon
Breakfast is yogurt + granola + 2 fried eggs
Don't forget a good splash of Sriracha sauce
Interesting. Mine: a cup/a bowl of instant noodles
i donโt eat breakfast but when i do it varies from pad thai to a classic american breakfast to a bagel with cream cheese to toast to ice cream
sometimes i make chicken and mashed potatoes for breakfast
since those take zero effort
It's not too bad
Just needs constant stirring so it doesn't boil over
pain x)
Yo..
But Sylas Fed? asking for a friend
ngl but that scoreboard is saying you might be cooked
Darius is uh darius soo yeah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsj5k_MyfFs Subnautica 2 | Leviathans Meet LEVIATHAN - Subnautica Celebration Drawing
It let me think maybe it's a cool way to go closer to Otto
Last epoch | Eterra meet Otto - xxxxxx drawing 
The own art director promote the own game, perfect
I wonder how big the canvas is... I can draw one for poe 2 if 0.5 have something satisfying, fresh and inspirational
Nice, it's fixed
well the damage is already done
and even 25% of that amount is still stupidly high
like 10 times the normal amount
actually even more than 10 times it seems lmao
so yeah, avoid Windrose for now
oh not right... EHG owned something already
Vezi's board is what they can compare with ๐ค
Well but I want to know what Otto will contribute to le
I wonder if they're actually putting out the end game rework for poe2 in the next league
I guess we'll see soon enough
they claim they do
but whether it's the actual, big rework or GGG's "we've buffed the armor to buff warrior, but ended up nerfing warrior". Well we will see
inb4 someone that starts with J again decided that it's not important and was pushed to next update
yea we lost x)
It's fine though I won two in a row after
Sylas hard carried it ?
then keep playing until 3am
"Can't end on a loss"
yep my graves really, really, really wanted to kill him
just kept running face first into him and dying until we lost
lol
There is nobody in your team who could handle fed Sylas, running into him is extra silly
Maybe if Smoulder was fed, but yeah no
Had a small hiccup but it's still smooth sailling hopefully
Btw do you like the variety in my pick?
pretty damn good WR
I'm faithful
tbf I'm as creative when making a new timeless deck in magic
I will have uhhh
a blue deck
with force of will
and library of alexandria
๐
I honestly can't even make out who that pick is
pantheon
over 70% of my games are panth
The only times I don't play him is when he gets banned, the enemy team picks him or I get autofilled basically

I usually play shen if I can't play panth and I'm top or soraka if I get filled support
Soraka is awful to play in solo queue though honestly
three champions, three global ultimates lmao
it's a duo champ
panth's kept getting nerfed it's nowhere near global now
it's not even half the map
playing support made me switch to adc, because I was sick of what random adc did lmao
But yeah it's a pretty transferrable skill to be aware of the map and use global/long range ults well
let's just pretend this is what my soraka winrate looks like
these games don't exist x)
You're NA right @obtuse rune ?
yup yup!
@junior oyster This was such a crazy easy run lmao
Lots of views subnautica 2 get on Chinese reddit, xiaoheihe too ๐ค
I understand everything
Just a few hours until the poe2 reveal
Let's see
They're gonna hit us with "Since we had to take an extra month to work on this league, it means next poe1 league will be 1 month later" 
I'm not expecting much from the reveal for me personally.
Endgame doesn't get me excited at all
Well unfortunately
End game is where most of the content in the game kinda is
dont you dare jinxing poe1 smh
Tbh I was calling it out the moment they said poe2 league is on 29th
War table but better
I'm kidding
no idea what war table is.
They'll be like we made everything harder just for lulz
D4 endgame thing that lets you plan and choose what you want to do
Ah
Yeah I don't really care about d4 so surprisingly I wouldn't know that
Basically like sts map I guess
I normally don't but honestly I think I love d4 right now
And I never really budged from my d3 good d4 bad decision
So yea I'm definitely glad I bought the expansion
I kinda wish I hadn't even bought d4
felt like wasted 70โฌ
same
Yea fair
I still haven't played it since the first preseason
and now I feel like if I want to play it I'd wanna get the dlc
but I'm not paying even more lol
Hey at least you get both dlc for the price of 2 dlcs that I had to pay for xd
yeah but there's no way I'm paying just to probably still not enjoy it enough to keep playing
Yea that's fine
If it was just paid classes like in D3 (I know it also had an expansion but that's a different story imo) it'd be totally fine
why not just try rn without the exppack
costs you nothing
this is one of the reasons I think LE made the right decision with paid classes instead of expansion tbh
Because I'd be playing a meh version of the game that's missing features it would feel like
Cuz the game literally holds you back on certain features. Though that is understandable because it's done in other games sadly
thatd be the glass half empty take yeah
Like the skill system in the endgame apparently being locked if you don't have dlc
paragon?
Maybe even the cube lol
paragon is in base game
Nah skill tree I believe
Cube is locked behind dlc
and yeah, part of skill tree is dlc too
I think specific skills are locked behind dlc
Like fireball cold conversion is dlc
Also war table or whatever it's called
Yeah like see that's horrible lol
I wouldn't be surprised if the strongest stuff for skills is dlc
That's a faster way of progressing
a few skills were part of the last exppack so kinda makes sense
tbh i am happy with d4 rn and would at least still try it a bit
Ofc you'd try it because you're happy with it
So someone who doesn't like base game d4 may not like the dlc and even more money wasted. I understand the reasoning
I mean if I didn't have to buy the dlc to access all the content I'd play it
It's the fact that the dlc have quite a lot of content locked behind them that makes it so I don't want to play it. It's a barrier of re-entry kinda
I understand this is a thing in other games but I hate it. Like why lock og ones lol
did they lock og ones or just the ones they got with exppack
Apparently even og
crazy
So yea I understand the hate or whatever to call it
It would kinda feel like playing LE 1.0 when 1.4 is out and you can't access any of the stuff they released since 1.0 when you already played in 1.0 and didn't really enjoy it
doesn't really make sense
But but but....
It's fine, it's not new. It has been done before.
And also it's been done in games I enjoy before so it's fine.
๐ ๐ ๐
I mean for the people who enjoy D4 the model works fine
Real arguments I have been told when I said locking a third of the old classes skill trees was a bit scummy imo
but for people like me it's almost the worst possible model
Oh! Almost forgot
I am tone deaf, people enjoy the xpac, so all is fine
If you're tone deaf
What does that make me
worst model would probably needing to buy all exp packs you dont have tbf so its kinda better than i expected for blizz
I mean sure if I had to buy all the dlc at full price instead of just the latest one that'd be even worse lol
I personally dislike classes alone as they're most often very op compared to nonpaid but we'll see how they end up in LE
I don't disagree obviously that's usually how it is. But it's the same for expansions
usually the expansion content is the most lucrative
so if I had to choose between the two I'd go for paid classes 10 out of 10 times
especially if they're doing a D4 and have classes tied to the expansions anyway
they're doing both basically lol
for me its just a classic expansion like we had in d2
PoE 1 league probably isn't until August anyways tbh and this probably the last PoE 2 league until after ExileCon where they probably reveal 1.0 launch Id guess
Yeah but instead of just one big expansion like D2 or D3 it's basically an MMO style expansion where they just keep releasing them
Like if I got the expansion and I knew there wouldn't be any more after it I might get it
but I know I'd need to buy more expansions to keep playing all the content in the future
Also they releasing filler content like voh
So it's not the same for me
dunno i bought all expansions for dawn of war 2 gladly for example so i am used to more than 1
but yeah vessel was bad
Also while loh was good. I can't lie but I honestly think ros was so much better
I liked the mephi fight though
It finally made him not feel like a puny demon xd
besides the annoying walking stuff even the story was good
Yea but I hated ||lorath getting offed||
I saw that coming tbh
They'll do that to all the npcs players like.
Foreshadowing was there yeah i only really found ||tyraels randoml appearing || with the most lukewarm explanation a bit meh
Yea same
Anyway, next game thing I'm probably buying is the Grim Dawn dlc when it's available
I tried grim dawn for about 2 hours, but it didn't feel very good to me
i'll buy that too but they're taking an eternity
It definitely has a slow start so you probably wouldn't get into it in 2hours
I mean the combat and movement. Feels really dated. I can't go backwards like that. ๐
Strangely enough poe1 feels like that to me as well
Yeah for me it was mostly none of the skills being very exiting
I gave it a good ol try for 30 hours and it still didn't stick for me
To be fair GD uses the engine from Titan Quest so I guess it's fair enough
Guess we'll see how GD2 is
There's going to be a 2? I didn't know that.
Yes, eventually
Definitely going to buy that but maybe not day 1
Depends if I can afford it lol
It's apparently going to be massive
but yeah, I'm probably buying it the moment I can
I tried grim dawn and it was ok, it just didn't click for me unfortunately
I didn't like GD base there is just no impactful game play to it ,but I did hear and read that the mods for it are very good
Still pushed like 50-70 hours on it
I've 1200 hours in GD without any modding
50.5 hrs played lol bit last time played 2020 ...holy time goes fast
I played it October last year
I genuinely thought I played tops 2 years ago lmao
5 years ago is a very long time maybe I should check it again
What do you mean
2020 was just 2 years ago
I'd say same but I use a mod to speed up the game 2x lol
ugh only 226 hours in GD, tho i havent played char purely on hardest from start point
That's less than my hours in Terraria damn
even then is kind of harsh to see endgame achievements going under 7% of whole GD-playerbase
even main bosses are max around 10-18
probably but this game is one of gold ones so its just hars to see it
Made it home in time for the reveal. Neat
Cool, cool
Okay, what are we looking at
Act 5, memes?
Maybe some swords
Jonathan jumpscare

this is kinda pog
well nice bait on edngame dang wanna try it out ๐
its just keeps going man
but no new weapon or traps
WEW
yep types
but endgame itself is worth to try it once again + ascendencies means another cooking
hmm so early buff up on camp, well finally
Kinda cool I guess
hmm so runes near to endgame (would be too op get early..)
I wonder if you have to discover or get the combinations
Temporal bubbles 
or if you just have them all
yea proxy shield defenetly giving ptsd lul
Ah there it came
kalguuran origin
hmm
??????????????
oh so ward
Ward that doesn't take the hit first
It's just ES but it comes after hp instead of before
dang, havent noticed it
oh no shot this is towards rune master lmao
Hmm.... intresting
so either you try push ward or you give up on new skills cooking
little harsh but price for fun i guess
that's nice
Oh
nicee
100 new runes x)
here we go with the currencys
And ofc no stash for them
holy.. WHAT ?
yo these are sick
oh lawrd
poe 2 has actual crafting finally that's kinda nice
pretty convoluted way to go about it though
Getting closer to crafting table
give me big boom please
no
atlast tree hadnt have it already ?
did it in poe 2?
it did have
well this time i have urge to try expedition since its bound to new league..
before it expedition was items gamba
L march
ohhh
that's neat
Poor Gwennen
FIshing where
Secret
pretty cool
I just don't like the endless atlas
while it looks sick it also bring same issue with altas many have in poe 2
yea
I might do bow poison again tbh
its interesting that showcase class is their last druid
yes
It's kinda nice having a long chain to get something
... rng armor from the boss
quite long to get
I like how they said they won't spoil the boss and then the pinnacle boss they show clearly is the meteor boss
wait so predeminted locations on what you wanna focus ?
I don't really like that ๐ค
Having to choose what way to go
I don't mind it tbh
Yeah felt like there was too many things that werent mobs lmao
It just feels like that if you don't go the right way you'll miss out on mechanics and rewards
Or sounds like it
Jonathan's hair has gone grey
more trees
No wonder, 2 games, too much stress
Spirits... I don't like it
"look, spirits can take so many things"
spirit loot still is worthless
finally approachable endgame for new players
this league feels pretty scattered tbh
More spirits
they reworked a lot and dropped new league.. It's too much
oh god
like what the actual f
i dont want class on altas tree geez ๐
all I'm hearing is this is way more work than doing all the maps in a poe 1 atlas x)
atlas tree ascendancy is gotta be a meme
You get it anyway, too bad
maan
ofc you will need to because you will lose buffs on drops otehrwise >.>
monster hunter? Pog
this is starting to feel like a mmo already apart from zone gen
Bro we have to travel everywhere to get all this done gawd damn
spare me
deli inside a deli
wudahell that thing is op
exposure on hit DansGame
Whelp. All my free time.
yea we got the tree
as a poe1 player i already sign up as a lab rat for mechanics xdd
Oh no no chance to duo sts2 now huh whhezy
ya
49 mint patch introduction for an EA 
i feel overwhelmed by this update
tbf unless you're SSF you don't have to interact it all, you'll likely only interact with one of the mechanics
i said it somewhere else but imagine u watching this for the first time and you want to try the game ? yea...
i dont think a weekend is going to cover it
I mean you knew nothing about it so them adding a ton of stuff doesn't really change anything
you still know nothing :P
fair i can see the aproach of know nothing than relearning
easier to learn when u know nothing
but this is still overhelming
well this could also mean they wont change endgame much till 1.0 anymore so we probably focus next updates on lore and rest of classes
My body is ready for martial artist fr
thats fine people asking for more clases and item bases so we might get something cool
i do miss hitting my bell but bear was great
the f.. was that speed
No swords? 
no, this updates we wont get new types
Rip
i mean swords would need bring also new class
MA bama xdd
ew
kinda lit
Clap
the f--
now we're talking
I don't get how that works
yep
I wonder if the martial artist glove node interacts with uniques
minion scaleable RF lol
that wand is op
Yea that wand looks nuts
bow srs
ok elemental leech
Voices
bruh
holy a search bar with actual contrast
this is kinda lit
kind of excepted since EA runs so long.. eventually 1.0 will be for exp players speedrun as always
this is crazy with how much they dont like things having acces directly to game
that's big
FINALLY i wanted that on market so f.. much
no need to use awakened poe trade with copy-paste
A friend of mine has been complaining about the price check thing
So this should be good for him
That hideout is neat
Oh dear, that Servant
nothing comes annyoing as goblin troupe so
That divinity portal looks cool
lol why is the progress thing mtx only
You know why
I menan yeah
they want you to pay
I hope this means we get classes from now on. Updates like this don't do anything for me.
Yo what the
wait what.. ? wo where 4 classes and rest of accesndecies ?
They wanna release rest past of 1.0
Never gonna be released
no swords, no traps, nothing
no traps would be welcoming with traps you can always creates some broken chars in poe 1
4 classes, a ton of ascendancies, 6 weapons, 2 acts. Oof
i doubt they will be able release it in 1.0 tho..
Also would be risky as hell.. I mean EA main point was to test new classes/weapons/skills and tweak it before 1.0 and possible have balanced start with not so many metas
Divinity Supporter Pack will be bought
welp Q&A skipping, time to go
I have been praying for an Endgame Overhaul and it is seemingly here. Hell yeah. Mirage league into Runes of Aldur. Banger
I never do endgame, personally. I don't get the draw I guess.
Yeah, i need to sleep
I stopped ages ago
Neither bliz nor ggg or any other dev for that matter if it's online only
Well, isn't d4 online only?
Right...
I honestly hope this screws over the scalpers
Drip is pretty important to me. The ones from GGG are a little to much for me though.
Tbf to ggg they have a very old game so
But even in poe2 their skins look af
Ugly
They're not BAD-looking imo. They're not nearly as high-fidelity or detailed as D4 ofc. But I mean they're just priced too high for me.
I guess I don't see it that way. I mean anything is better than pots and pans
I do however like their pets/HO stuff
Sure. But their base armor doesn't look bad in poe2.
Just not gear
Agreed
I'm particularly fond of their strength armor and the dex/int armor.
I got a chuckle out of this.
Even more reason not to buy the expensive af cosmetics
Well sure. There's only one I've been eyeing, and it's because it's what I want int armor to look like. I don't vibe with the base int armor appearances.
well i saw the trailer of the conversation about Nolan yeasterday and i have to agree the trailer is actually a pile
i tot it was Troy remake for some reason first seconds 
it might be good .... actors can pull things
I agree, I dislike that. They should be available to everyone, maybe unless level capped
yk what annoys me the most about that movie ? Costumes that look like garbage, especially when the last time I've seen Odyssey related media was Troy total war ๐ฆ
Im sorry, but like some people pointed out
I like left a lot more
thankfully Odysseus himself does not look tragically bad
The very minor thing in D4 LoH that bothers me, so minor it's not really a complaint is fishing
Why does D4 have fishing ? When I think adding fishing minigames I'm thinking about cozy games, survival games or ubislop run out of the mill open world
What kind of thought process and priorities in pipeline lead to fishing minigame in aRPG ? 
Idk man, Matt Damon with his weak ass "Let's go!" warcry was not confidence inspiring
Oh nono, I mean costume wise
Ah
Yeah idc about the costumes THAT much
They're accurate enough to be immersive for me
Tom Holland saying "dad" is not though
๐
I was actually somewhat hyped for this movie because the Odyssey is honestly kinda fascinating as mythological stories go, and Nolan has always produced masterpieces
Even after all the naysayers on the internet pre-shitting on the film based on leaked images
But yeah this trailer really took the wind out of my sails
i donโt even say โdadโ and i live in 21st century america
just have him say father so it doesnโt kill the flow of the entire movie
path of exile also has fishing
also d4 takes mmo inspiration for its open world and mechanics
fishing is very normal in mmoโs
hades also has fishing, for examples of other action games with it
it does ?
It's more of an easter egg than an activity as far as we can tell, there's a lot of items related to it and Krillson exists but nobody has figured out if you can actually fish yet
It's like, several years long history
technically
it's a massive meme for the most part outside of some direct references like Angler runegraft (rarer than a mirror) or the Surfcaster ascendancy (Phrecia leagues only)
makes sense, it strikes me as something you add in free time, unless it's a game that wants it as core mechanic
actually i only play diablo and hades for the fishing
The biggest direct reference being literal fishing rods
yeah I mean those are also giga rare
not mirror tier or anything but VERY rare
I think sacred orb tier? not sure
people do use them in conjunction with Angler
It's not that bad, unique ones are usually not terribly expensive and you can brick em and vendor to a rare without too much effort
hah? lol
Couple cards to get them yeah
it's like I interview myself lol
Double birthday gift GGG gave. Thanks
๐ค Let's see what surprise GGG will give me in their birthday gift
I mostly dont understand why we need any kind of remakes of good movies which were prized back then..
Same as somebody sold idea on Harry potter remakes.. (Yes it wasnt acccording books and something was ommitted but it was still way better than what's comming now). Most likely same fate will meet even this remake >.>
Spirit walker?!
wow, something fresh and interesting I can play as my build finally
A bit like that beast recipe system in poe... ๐ค
yes, the same. But one wave of enemy need to slain in poe only. Wow more challenging
Holy god. That runic system sounds too interesting
100 new runes?! Lots of new things available to learn...
lol jump into a hole again (it's becoming a classic design for how to enter a vault)
....New reworked logbook = a new endless endgame map
Not sure do I want to keep explore because it's like a endless journey... I can spend 6h to do logbook's maps only then a day is gone
๐คฃ I hope I don't stick on one boss from journey on the ocean too long time... Yes...More bosses as usual...
Wow green lava... Relevant to abyss?
A clear theme for each biome, very cool!
lol more interesting but tough decisions for me to make...Because I don't know which rule & standard should I base on
Guess it right 
all of that is nice but i would also like to see to improve their engine to be more accessable to older HW especially in times of HW crisis due to AI BS (or rightly say LLM's)
my hw specs are generally s.. so i dont mind to have instability but PoE 2 is a lot of more stressful on it
\o\ the genesis tree is hype me
/o/ the scale of new contents in 0.5 is as big as 1.2 of le
:( But I still worry about the old issue is my build isn't powerful enough to run breaches
A difficult decision you're sure? Are you sure???? ๐คฃ
๐ฑ ๐ Up to five map bosses can be appeared in the final challenge of ritual???????
Nameless ritual is a true nightmare
lol GGG go insane. it can reach six. SIX map boss.
GGG know quite well on how to create assets of drama effects available for streamers.
\0/ It sounds very cool. Something can't miss definitely.
You mean I can bring a map boss to fight with the other map boss????? WHAT
It's the peak of this video.
Ok, the 2nd peak: heartseeker version of spell will be available. I must get this wand. Colling bolts looks fantastic.
Happy birthday @fierce moth
thx
Immersing in the excitement of seeing various tracks GGG made for guiding players where to go in campaign... They're quite creative!
Tbh I might need to look through the announcement again
I was pretty tired yesterday
I did a baking
Enjoy
Ok, just done the video. They're something I'm excited to see and explore:
- Give a try on 2 unique weapons, liminal coil twisted wand and periphery heartwood shortbow
- Play a build of spirit walker and reach to lv 92
- Deep in reworked ritual to see how hard to make decisions on the road to nameless rituals and how many map boss I can kill once time at max
- Simulacrum will just more tough to challenge because progress maps are harder and harder but I want to see how far can I go, but I don't think I can reach corresponding pinnacle boss
- Unlock all masters to bonus rewards from map bosses is a must-do thing so masters of atlas tree will spend me some time definitely
- Looking forward to find more surprises from new atlas passive tree and do more thinking on how to custom mine
- I'm excited to see more crafting so 100+ new runes from the new league mechanic, remnant will a massive task to remember exact details
- More currencies for crafting combine with genesis tree from one of endgame encounters, breaches will generate much more fun and I wonder which good gears can I craft
- Not sure how to access the fortress area but the potential of targeted farming and the feature of maps inside that available to gain atlas points let the beginning of endgame more interesting
@junior stirrup GGG cooked so hard recently :D
Indeedily ๐
which new ascendency will you play, spirit walker or martial artist?
I was exploring ascendency of huntress in last league so I want to finish my experiement at first
martial, not material
If your wedded spouse plays one, is it a Maritial Artist?
The new monk thing looks cool too tbh
But I'm probably going to be boring and just play poison bow
Hopefully get actual upgrades during the acts instead of like last time
used same bow from like lvl 12 to 26 something
The coolest thing in 0.5 is much more things can do in endgame instead of just playing single one from the beginning to the end. It's why I'm impressive with abyssal but I'm burnt out with that now
It looked to me that the mechanics spread over too many maps tbh
lol I can't get this type of experience in le is what I'm sure at least
it's why le is easy to burn out
Is somewhere summary of Q&A part ? i'm too lazy to listen that
I'm listening to it currently
I've to admit it's a bit too long
hmm trough official forum there bunch of posts about PoE 2 shifting for PoE 1 Core and promises about slow and meaningful system and combat system are missing
Honestly the slow & meaningful combat doesn't work when the minions can just have a mean look at you and you die
Listen Q&A? Any Q&A GGG released?
the q&a with ziggyd after the reveal
Oh. I skip that part directly everytime
Well, it's not really relevant for you
Yes
I care the environment art and storytelling only. I just learn gameplay to make sure I don't miss new areas
QnA is for the people like me (Longest one I ever remember listening too)
Yeah
i would like to know what was Q&A about rather than for who it is or not but so far no luck finding some summary (either not lucky or just nobody bothered yet except another youtube video about it )
How long?
Like almost 4hours
I'm just listening to the VoD from the reveal on gggs channel
Probably the weirdest part was that they said they don't test stuff like "Okay, what if we used this skill with a lot of extra projectiles" when it ocmes to visual clarity etc
and they do want to make delve 2.0 apparently
Just 3 more weeks of waiting for it 
Yeah Delve is pretty much a matter of when not if, they're very much big fans of it and even if it isn't the most engaged with endgame content the community as a whole likes it. Probably give it 2 years after some continuation of the Kulemak story thread or something would be my guess (underworld civilizations are all the rage)
(I'm coping probably but I do want me some Delve)
Stop reminding me nub. God damn it.
I see no evidence of them changing how they are designing skills, in fact I see doubling down. Big ol' skip on my end.
didnt they already do that with atlast and basically even current new expedition ?
No. They want to eventually make Delve in PoE 2. Timeline who knows.
What do you mean ?
Well, a better question is
What dont you like about their skill design
Forced attack times, railroaded skill comboing, and generally unnecessary restriction.
A delicious brick of sand is arrived \o/
Pear flavour is mainly because it's the strongest one.
Gunna wishlist this for sure

Doesn't that have ridiculous recommended specs on pc?
Does it? It's a lego game
I guess the cpu being 12gen or above is a little shocking
Also 30fps WITH frame gen enabled on minimum
Like wtf is up with that
okay I get that gtx 960 isn't exactly that good anymore
Eh it should be playable on the steamdeck I'm sure of it
the answer ?
For some god forsaken reason this game runs on UE5
Ah, yea that would explain it
using frame gen in spec requirements / recommendations shouldn't be allowed imo lol
agreed
Is this AI related?
just tell me what my real framerate will be I can extrapolate what framegen fps will be myself
No I have no issues with framegen as a technology it's pretty great
but this is just deceptive
60 fps with framgen is nothing like 60 fps without
yes
Using framegen on lower fps sucks because you get noticeable latency and ghosting
I see
The framegen doesn't predict the future or anything, so the less real frames you feed it the more time it has to "imagine" so you start getting stuff like ghosting
if you're running at 60 real fps you're feeding it 60 frames of information per second, so the time between each frame is way less and there will be less difference between them so it won't have to do anything drastic to come up with new frames, it can basically just copy the last frame and just slightly move some things and there's your new frame
but at low real fps the time between each real frame is long enough that the AI has to basically predict the future, which is obviously impossible
so it just hallucinates
Yeah
it gets blurry and looks & feels bad to play
Here's cyberpunk running at 10 and 20 real fps using framgen to go to 60. I feel like it's pretty clear that there's a drastic difference between this and a real 60 fps. Obviously they're not doing anything this horrible in those system specs but if they can do 30->60 what stops them from doing 10->60 right
https://youtu.be/Ollj5FxUQu8?t=143
In this video, I used Lossless Scaling Frame Generation to try and make Cyberpunk 2077 playable at just 10 FPS. I expected a slideshowโand yeah, parts of it wereโbut the results were more playable than they had any right to be.
==========
Here are some other helpful videos:
I Stacked MULTIPLE Frame Generators at Once... and Broke Everyt...
It looks fine
The 10 fps one?
not gonna lie you had my mouth wide open irl I thought you were serious
xD
Oh, you're not serious?
I'll just drop the pitchforks
Ngl I have back in the day played on like 10fps lol
I had an amd gpu that would overheat and cause any games I play to severely lag and played games like sleeping dogs on 10fps xD
but yeah TLDR just tell me your game would run at 30 fps on my hardware and I'll choose if I want to use framgen or not. Don't tell me it runs at 60 fps and then add the framgen as a condition, because then it's not running at 60 fps, it's running at 30 real fps still with framgen bumping it to 60 total fps
Especially because not everyone will know what framegen is or what it does
they'll get the game thinking it'll run smooth and look great when they see 60 fps just for it to have additional latency and weird ghosting
Framegen shines when you already have like 50-60 fps+ because at that point the ghosting/artifacting is minimal and the latency isn't really noticeable so it kinda just makes the game feel smoother
but imo if you're at 60 fps already there's no need for framegen at that point
Even worse, running 30fps with framegen
wait holy shit I was looking at the recommended
30 total fps with framegen is a war crime
this is why lord gaben is pushing for FPS estimate
Yeah no 30 total fps with framegen would be unplayable
Yeah I watched it yesterday it was pretty good
His hair has gone grey
Oh nvm it's a streamer watching the interview I guess
I think he looks fine his hair just went grey, happens
Nah he be having stress from impatient gamers
and considering it all went grey at the same time I feel like it's likely not stress related but just how it was always gonna be
silver fox
Btw if anyone is interested d4 is having a free trial of pala for 4 more days
Not sure what the level cap will be though lol
Finally bought Ball x Pit
this cake was godly btw
Not even lowkey. Where is my piece of cake?
it literally melted in my mouth
My friends waiting for their pieces of Deias's cake too
Those are cool! Nicely done
Kirra is hungry indeed. 200g cakes jumped in her stomach under 10 mins.
cool, successful on uv wrap for a mesh at the second time :)
emmmm... Which material a vase should apply...
I know how to make only this origami
cool, no idea how to craft that
