  • I rotate my password every 6 months at this point. It's about as secure as a human who wants to remember a password could be. It's 20+ characters with all the various password needed inclusions.

    And yeah, I can access it through an external application without issue. But if I ever want to change settings or make new email rules it becomes an issue.

  • Fairly sure Gmail wasn't around 28 years ago.

  • Oh no, I can't believe that Elon would just give shameless content straight to asmon like that... Wait stop, don't make a video about getting unchecked on Twitter because the owner got mad and unchecked you tor calling him out on his silly video game stuff. I'm sure the video won't at all be a viral hit..

  • In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.
    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I'm a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like.. I'm trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don't know? It was more of a 'please help get cat from a to b, I'll pay for it' Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.
  • Since it's really only the one attack that gets me, you'd think that'd work.. But he uses it much too frequently for that.

    I struggled a bit with my mercenary the first time through, breezed with my sorc, and now with a warrior who has the absolute highest dps of any class I've used so far is having the most struggles because dodging that attack at close range is damned near impossible. The guy can spin in a complete 180 in a split second to catch you with it if you're in his face. It has a charge up, and you'd think I'd know to gtfo, but with everything else that's going on, it's a bit tricky to avoid the massive aoe line it forms.

    I'll probably just grab the 140ish energy shield unique helmet from storage to help cheese it a bit.

  • Come watch me struggle with early game content so badly it'll make you really wonder how someone can be so inept at the game.

    Seriously, stuck on the act 2 boss on my third character.. I know the moves, I have the dps, I just can't fucking dodge his stupid damned claymore smash for the life of me and it takes over half my life every time. There are no adds which means I can't regain flask charges and while I can get him down to a fifth of his life every run.

  • I recently purchased Affinity photo, which did most of what I used to use Adobe for. No subscription, one time purchase, and I'll likely never need to worry about that again.

    I tried gimp a few times and found it frustrating to use.

  • While I was going through my posts on Twitter and deleting them all, I noticed that nearly all of the were gripes or complaints about something during my day. That's not to say I had a lot of bad days but I'd be more likely to want to vent them than just vibing through the good days in social media silence. Each person is very different, but unless I was in a space where socializing was a daily thing, my tendency was to be more negative than positive Most of the time.

  • I've got nearly 4k armor and evasion. I can take/avoid a good amount of hits. My issue is that if I pull too many guys (which happens to be like 8 or more) I cannot kill them fast enough. Getting a decent crossbow has been a thorn in that characters side for the entire playthrough. I'm currently using rapid shots with gas/explosive grenades because it's the only viable path dps wise I could find. Even then it's absolutely terrible. I still haven't beaten the forgemaster in act 3 brutal because I run out of arena.

    I honestly think I've used less than a half dozen total weapons with that character for the entire time, from level 1 to 70. It's so strange to me that the hardest part of the game has been loot drops.

  • 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.

  • In reference to cathedral bosses. Let me go find the exact time stamp.

    3:54 in the video in the link.

  • I appreciate you commenting to me with full support and care for the topic at hand. It is quite educational for anyone who happens across it and doesn't already understand how simple it is for plastics to leech their way into basically anything, and I suspect the reason most places stopped using Styrofoam containers quite awhile ago (plus how absolutely terrible it is for the environment). I'm hopeful for a plastic free future, there are some really good alternatives coming down the pipeline for now and it will be interesting to see which of the various technologies becomes mainstream. I'm rooting for seaweed personally. I also really like the work that has been done with various fungi for form fitting packing supplies.

  • 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.

  • And I assume next you'll tell me that pouring boiling water into plastic bottles or maybe even Styrofoam cups is another way people introduce microplastics into their systems unwittingly. That's just too bizarre.

  • 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.

  • What do you mean plastic mesh heated to near boiling temperatures causes a release of microscopic plastic particles? That just doesn't make any sense at all!

  • I feel like this whole anime is going to be pure moments of the audience saying 'JUST KISS' repeatedly. They're so compatible but a singular misunderstanding between them is the only thing causing all of the friction.

    I also find it odd that a couple who was forced apart by arranged marriages decide that they need to celebrate finally getting together by arranging a marriage.

  • It was fun for a bit over half a season... And then it just stalled forever. From what I hear the Manga hasn't progressed story wise. Might as well just watch the truck crash into the bollard gif. Show has the same feels at that point.

    Though if you're into awkward but kind of cute scenes on repeat forever I guess that works.
