  • I hope they give me a ‘I’m a path of Exile 1 baby and need respawns on all maps’ because I made my own build and while it’s ok and I can do basic tier 1 maps incredibly slowly (my dps is straight butt at the moment).

    I literally walk through each map, firing my crossbow forward to hopefully only draw a bit of aggro and then back pedal as much as needed until the enemy is dead. Rinse and repeat until I clear all the rare mobs.

    If a map has delirium on it I literally trigger it and then stand there waiting for it to end (I just found the ‘end delirium’ keybind over the weekend) . I haven’t even bothered attempting any maps with a boss on them due to how normal mobs are causing me issues. The one life per map is such a deterrent for me at the moment I’m having a really hard time continuing with that character. The worst part is I know I’m only a few pieces of gear away from being able to handle myself well, but the rng gods have decided it’s my role to struggle.




  • I know it’s not really the topic you considered… But yes, I do believe every drug should be legalized. If you consider the benefits alone it should be obvious that it is the correct choice.

    Drugs made by lisenced people/locations that use safe ingredients and are open to litigation if they end up making a bad batch.

    The revenue collected isn’t going to some drug lord overseas, it’s going into the country which you live instead.

    Dispensaries can be used secondary as a councelling/rehabilitation center.

    The long and the short if it is that if people want them, they will get them. I live in a place that hasn’t legalized weed yet… But if you are around certain neighborhoods at around 9am, it starts to smell very obvious that legality doesn’t matter. While currently that’s not surprising as many states near mine have legalized, we’ll before that happened things were exactly the same.

    I don’t want people to be addicted to drugs, but I don’t see why we as a society shouldn’t benefit at all from someone who is.


  • For me it’s not about TikTok. It’s about using whatever flimsy, poorly worded law they will make to ban a platform I don’t use to open the door for further bans and possible censorship in the future. A platform should be allowed to function if it can. If it’s horribly made, or supremely unprofitable it’ll find its own way out. I don’t use it, I don’t plan on ever using it, and honestly it doesn’t affect my daily life outside of my mother in law thinking that some of the pallet crafts on there are worthwhile and me having to explain that they’ll look good for a moment and then fall apart rather quickly.



  • I generally call myself a patient gamer for most titles… but the monster hunter series is not one of them. Those games release in good shape, fully formed titles that don’t really need to wait on… I guess generally I’m patient when I feel the product doesn’t match the price, but in this case, I feel it absolutely does. If there is DLC, it’s either really silly cosmetic things, or a full fledged expansion on the content by at least 2x.

    I returned mine, borrowed a friend’s Iphone for the scan, but I should have definitely gotten an official ipd reading. The set they sent me was really nice, but the ipd was wrong and I’m already kind of susceptible to motion sickness regularly.

    I got a discounted pimax for Christmas instead. It’s huge, but has a lot of features I was giving up for the smallness of the bigscreen.

    I figured I’d fill in some gaps I left out before about my specific case and why I decided to return the set rather than deal with their support team.

    1. I get motion sickness rather easily. It’s not instant while in VR, but the smallest things (like a smudge on a lens) can cause it to slowly build up until I’m unable to deal with it. That being said, something I wasn’t prepared for was that having a just the custom printed faceplate on my noggin would slowly build up that motion sickness, it’s something about having my vision obscured between my eyes that really set it off.

    2. The only way I could use the supplied headset somewhat was by placing the faceplate lower than it’s supposed to go, which after a bit caused a very unpleasant amount of brow pain. Aside from the ipd being incorrect for me, I feel that the orientation of the print for my faceplate wasn’t set up to direct my eyes to the center of the screens. Support is more than happy to help with this with no charge.

    3. I realized after purchasing it that I’m not the kind of VR player to actually need a slimmed down headset. I’m usually seated, not moving much at all besides my arms, so it’s not like it’s a big deal to just buy a ‘one size fits all’ headset that fits my playstyle a bit better.
