Pool’s closed…

Interesting that they made it a choice. Typically the weapon or whatever is a reward for reaching X amount of donations. I respect it.

I’m playing some Path of Exile again, I’ve been having pretty good time with the Necropolis league

Sites in search results actually had the shit you were searching for. These days it’s scam bullshit or “removed” from the results. Otherwise I do kind of miss the old forum communities. Very little of that left anymore

I don’t do cocktails much, mostly because I don’t really have the ingredients around. One I like to do now and then is whisky (around half the drink, preferably spicy rye) and the rest about equal proportions of apple juice and ginger ale, poured over a chunk of ice.

Oh look it’s a Finn. The premade salmiakkikossu or home made turkinpippuri infusion?

My wife did that for a while. She stopped when she realized she was just piling the food higher instead

Sure, but parents are responsible for their kid’s internet use, not the fucking government. All these bullshit "won’t anyone think of the kids’ internet regulation things are all about tracking the whole population, the kids are just the excuse they use to try to roll this nonsense trough.

Nah, sounds pretty close to how I did on my first playtrough as well. All of those are among the hardest fights early on. In my experience it gets a little easier as you level up, but there are still a lot of fights that can absolutely wreck you if you’re not careful or not using all the tools you have available.

A few things that helped me:

• pick and choose fights. Many of the harder fights you can skip and come back later
• use line of sight (and elevation!) to your advantange. Enemies can’t use ranged attacks on you if they can’t see you, and if you’re above them they have penalty to hit and you get advantage!
• use ground effects to create choke points/limit enemy movement. You have grease spell/bottles available early and you get a lot stronger stuff as you progress
• use environmental effects when they’re available. There’s a ton of explosive barrels and other things to trigger that can be very helpful
