Lol, yeah, I think Wisconsin is the same. At least its a good place to go for illegal fireworks. But just getting outside of Cook county is a big savings.

Because "sales tax" (in the US) is based on the value of a newly acquired product, not on income. Here in Illinois some products have higher sales taxes than others. For example, food and medicine are taxed significantly lower than "non-essential" products. And they REALLY bend you over on "sin taxes" such as booze and smokes.

Do you know what "income tax" means? Here in the US, when you get paid, a bunch of hands are already in your check before you even get it. These values are based on your amount of income: State, Federal, Social Security, Medicare (?). So you see, all your income is taxed right from the get go (except retirement plans, thats pre-tax).

Wat? Politicians "make their money" by publically serving their constituents. You may not like the results, but thats immaterial.

When people die all thier assets are belong to me. What? Its no more stupid than re-taxing assets for 2,3,4 generations.

That "income" has already been taxed on the original earner. Now it should be taxed again because it was given to another? If I spot you a $20 for lunch, should you be taxed on it? Its "income" after all.

Yep no worries! I just hadn't seen the subclasses yet and the Paladin ones sounded cool. I was the one being off topic.

^Those Paladin subclasses sound fun!

Generally speaking, when considering casting time, are casters behind melee in the average number of attacks per battle? EDIT: Is this summary accurate?

Oh crap! Thats my favorite band!

I don't know what Gfted1 was referring to, but when I see a statement like that I don't think of computer-y tech. What I meant by the first sentence is, this topic seems righteous for some serious triggerin yo, and non-conformist opinions really gets the hurt train chugging, so I was pressing the launch sequence. And baths are dumb. I don't fit in a standard tub nor do I like to sit around in my own swill water. But who shares their bathing habits with others that they would fear being judged?

What was the results?

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!
