That exactly illustrates the societal changes from yesteryear. In their day, dads worked and moms raised children. Now the norm is two working parents. Times and technology will further change that when "mens jobs" (typically labor) are replaced by automation.

I do understand that you were referring to Tyranny, but casting limits have been a staple in almost all games. I don't want to get mired in the various secondary affects so lets switch the example to Minoletta Minor Missile. Straight up single target damage with no secondary. Using your example, with a Wizard and Ranger standing shoulder to shoulder in the back rank plinking away at the tanked mook, why is the mage done after a few casts but the Ranger is not? Maybe a system that offers spells that are unlimited and with spells that have limits is too weird? I think at one time lower level spells were to become unlimited while the higher level ones would retain casting limits, but that plan went into the tank afaik.

I don't understand this line of thinking. In the PoE universe, spells don't scale. For example, the Chill Fog spell does roughly the same damage as a War bow. Yet for some reason casters need to be "reigned in" via hard casting limits while physical weapons can attack all_day_long without restriction. How are casters OP without casting limits?

Its just a meme. Nothing important.

Are multiple failures of a system proof of a good system?

Hmm, I wonder what this red button does...*pushes button* Imo, societal masculinity has an inverse relationship with technology.

Does the Food system feel like a counterbalance to Rest spam, to you?

I see a lot of comments that resting has been trivialized in PoE2, but my understanding is that this was countered by diminishing returns wrt food cost (and maybe something about puking?). How does the Rest system feel when considering the Food system?

I do it every time I log on. As part of my gig I always scroll to the bottom to see if there are any posts from new members in any forums that need approval.

With all my games of the last several years being digital, literally the only thing the CD drive has done on my current rig is upload my music CD's to iTunes. Be gone clutter!

I use Steam, GoG and Origin but most of my games are on Steam. I suppose I gravitate to that platform because...I'm not sure why. I don't have any love/beef with any particular business model but I would really like everything to be in one place, which will never happen. Since Ive switched over to digital Ill never buy physical media of any kind again.

Very cool! Assuming you are playing Human, are the forehead markings some kind of scarification or does it have any meaning?

Government lawyers? Sure. But they get paid too. Afaik, Trump isn't opening his personal wallet to fight government lawsuits so these monies are consumed from the government coffers, which are filled by the taxpayers?

Whew! This place is hopping today with the opening of the PoE2 Beta. 1255 users online as I type this!

Condolences.

From the above linked article:

Um, the costs will be borne by the very taxpayers who bought the parcels (and the rest of us). "We just paid for the land for this other company and now we will bring the "government" to its knees in an expensive lawsuit. F-YEAH!" R00fles! Im more surprised that people can buy land right up to another country border. I figured there was some buffer of space between countries that was owned by the respective governments.

Agreed. Not a single foot of Trumpwall will be built before he's out of office so any publicity is good publicity. It was also brilliant of them to pass the costs on the their customers. A special cherry on top is them thinking "the government" will pay for the lawsuit.

U.S. man with rare disease is first to undergo gene editing in the body.

Cards Against Humanity Buys Border Land Bwahahaha, stupid is as stupid does. It gives me a warm fuzzy when people fall all over themselves to be sassy. BTW, who pays for this expensive lawsuit, the taxpayers? Hmmm...

Is "tanking" new to PoE2? Iirc, front liners were a revolving door in PoE1, offering no resistance to mooks rushing your back ranks?

I was approaching it from "these toons are above and beyond the normal game toons, and could be earned by performing action A or B". Now I realize they were (mostly?) fully available (for little to no effort?) in SWBF1, so I understand why the shift has upset people. As a stand alone model, I have no problem with extraordinary unlocks being earned via grinding or buying coins.

Sorry to hear about your condition, Gromnir. Hopefully it is temporary?
