I have to say that every time I watch another streamer I'm always glad that Josh does his superchats at the end and keeps his streams tight. Others always have even more tangents and then get sidetracked when they do superchats as they come in or even in batches during their streams.

  • Aside from dumping into Int, his stats are not optimized for magic.
  • Mind should be much higher because that determines how big your FP (mana) bar is.
  • Dex and Str shouldn't be that high. Those are melee stats.
  • Even if you want to main Int for Int spells, you should have more than single digits in Fai and Arc because many Int spells still require those as secondary stats.
  • He's running with a heavy equip load. Magic characters should be nimble, able to evade danger and build space to cast offensive spells or buff up.
  • He only has 5 memory slots, meaning he can only have up to 5 spells on him at any given time. (Maximum of slots you can run is 12)
  • He's running a rapier (thrusting sword) and a basic katana that doesn't even have a magic enchant a magic katana that secondary scales with Int. (Literally the only katana he could run with his build and was one of the OP weapons shitters used at the time he posted this) Thrusting swords and katanas are Dex weapons. There are swords in the game specifically made for magic users that want a backup plan if they can't cast and is all he should be running for melee.
  • He has two shields. Two shields in the same item row. Magic builds should avoid damage with evasion or spells, not shields. Shields are for melee builds.
  • His helmet is a magic helmet, the the rest of his armor set is meant for Str builds. It's literally the armor you unlock for killing the posterchild Str boss.
  • His talismans are not optimized for magic builds. The first one on the row (The flaming eyeball) increases all the stats that DON'T affect spells, when there's a related talisman that does just that.
  • His spirit summons aren't bad but there are much better options, especially for magic builds.
  • Running literally no consumables that would temporarily buff him aside from his physick flask (Something you unlock in the first couple hours of playing). Those darts are an essential for magic users though so at least he has those.

It's not meant to be meta. It's just his autistic little mage battle tank. Mind is just the right amount to get filled with flask. Armor is a play style choice. Shields have different stability and resists, and it's not like it matters anyway because this nigga is fat as fuck and there are 0 penalties for having them. The rest is just what you get from a blind playthrough.

It's literally the stop having fun meme where Elden Ring metafags were so eager to dunk on the exact build I've seen like 3 old dudes I work with gravitate to. The truth is if you really only cared about efficiency everyone would have a Misericorde and an artless tower shield equipped against anything parry able.

"You can't use shields you aren't melee" bro dark souls 2 lets you set yourself on fucking fire and the moment I discovered that fact it became integral in every strategy I ever conceived because I could and it was funny. Musk should be encouraged for A, actually playing the game, and B, NOT looking everything up. Frankly, if someone did look everything up, they gamed less than he did due to how many Magrit Hammers his fatrolling ass must have taken.
 
So I'm listening to the podcast while at work, and I must say, thank you null for supporting postal workers.

I work at UPS, and good lord, its like everyone hates us.

Big ups, making the work day less shit

This is something I've been turning over in my head for a while, and seeing the latest MATI episode reminded me to post my thoughts on this.

I used to be generally in favor of gay marriage because gay adoption was unheard of until recent history, so it was a completely untested concept that seemed to show promise for removing orphans from the system and placing them into homes. I was also unaware of the FBI's infamous gay rape statistics.

The Zulock's proved gay marriage and adoption to be a catastrophic failed experiment, and I remember HHH tagging me into the Spiderman faggot thread to criticize me for pinning the act of pedophilia on the fact it's a gay married couple.

What the Hulkster doesn't realize is that the Zulock family are the defacto Chernobyl event for gay marriage. You can argue that what I said in the moment was illogical, jumping to conclusions or overtly emotional, but what you can't say is those words weren't my immediate, unfiltered first impression upon reading the news that a seemingly idyllic gay married couple decided to violently and habitually rape their adopted sons on camera and sell it. They weren't even delusional excuse-making retards about it either, they explicitly used the term "rape" to describe themselves violating children in text messages bragging about it to their friends.

It doesn't matter that modern nuclear power is safe and secure, it doesn't matter if meltdowns are extraordinarily rare, it doesn't matter that the Chernobyl power plant was outdated by the standards of its own time or that its staff were incompetent, what matters is there's a proof of concept that nuclear power plants can explode under their own pressure and render the immediate area a permanent no-man's-land for millions of years and that's all people think about when they consider nuclear power as an alternative to coal or gas, because Chernobyl left an impression.

This is the same reason anybody who reads about John Money and what he did to the Reimer twins will immediately hate transgenderism as a concept and see it for the bullshit vector for pedophiles that it is, because John Money's listed abuses leave just such an impression.

Josh said he liked a system shock meme in this thread and liked the music.
As a System Shock appreciator I want to know what the meme was, I want to see which song he liked!
I'm having a hard time finding it myself but maybe someone remembers it.

now that Im finally off work, I will say that postal workers are probably abused.

I found out I make more than my supervisor, and they have to give up their union benefits to even move up, now I understand why so many people went postal back then.

This is true of many hourly positions with overtime possibilities and usually the reason to promote up is less the cash and more the hours/flexibility of a salary.

there is also no cap on my salary, there are guys who load trucks who make as much as the drivers.
and anything over 4 hours is considered time and a half for us.
my poor supervisors, less pay, more headaches having to deal with the retards at the top, and no benefits or safety of a union.

Idk if this is the video in question but this is peak absolute lolcow behavior. Dude with like 15000 guild members siccing them on tiny guilds while talking like Sephiroth with a voice changer. Fucking nutty.
 
Is the farms having issues? My web browser just warned me one tab on the frontpage was using 4.2gb.
Thread tax on suffering coof-americans;
My husband has given up


He has announced to his parents (who take zero precautions) that we are having dinner indoors at their home with them every week.
He told me asking people to test before we see them is antisocial behavior.
He said operating with the assumption that everyone could potentially be sick is ridiculous.
We took precautions for the last three years and got married last year but has now decided it’s all too much. He says masking in indoor public places is enough but we shouldn’t limit seeing family and friends. I’m feeling a sense of dread and loneliness.
If I bring it up , it turns into a huge argument.
His family knows we’re Covid safe but they don’t get it . We bought them air purifiers but they don’t use them. And now my husband refuses to even remind them that they should have it on at least when we visit.
I feel stuck, my one person who was in it for the long run is now against me. He repeatedly tells me his family cars about me and wants to see me more often but I don’t feel cared for when they don’t do anything to help us feel safe .
Numerous times his family has invited us over to their home and they have symptoms but assured us it’s “just a cold” “just allergies” despite them not testing.
Im grieving . I have given up so much in order to be safe. I gave up my dream wedding so we could have something safer. I rarely see my own family. I have spent so much money on masks, nasal sprays, etc. And now I feel it has all been for nothing, as I am expected to just act normal around his family.

AIO: Might lose a friendship over precautions and pandemic awareness?

Just need some perspective and to vent…

A friend I have had since kindergarten has been pushing for an in-person hang session. I told her my boundaries: 1) test on my Pluslife, 2) cancel if either of us have symptoms (even if a test is negative), 3) cancel if we have been near symptomatic individuals or asymptomatic individuals with known positive tests. She agreed but later said she was “bending over backwards” to make me comfortable. I said, if this is “bending over backwards” then maybe we should just stick to Zoom for now. Then she sent the attached message.

We haven’t hung out in person since the summer of 2023 because I had two family members have major health crises involving intense treatment and surgery, but we have had a number of Zoom calls since then. She insists she takes “a lot” of precautions: vaccinates yearly, only gets takeout, and only hangs out with a small group of people. But she was asking me to meet her and her family at a restaurant for her birthday, wanted to get pedicures a week before a family member’s surgery, attends football games because her family has season tickets, and works in an office every day. Her mom has tested positive 4 times, was on oxygen for nearly a year, and early last year they thought she had a stroke but it was just her brain swelling. When she was in the hospital for this encephalopathy I asked if she masked, and she said she didn’t except in her mom’s room because it was required.

She has already betrayed my trust around Covid: 1) came over to my house coughing in March of 2020 and got mad at me when I kicked her out; 2) came over and hung out all day, but as she was leaving mentioned that her roommate was “super sick” and testing to see if it was Covid; 3) had been begging to hang out in person (luckily I declined, cases were too high for me) and then later in the same text exchange mentioned she wasn’t feeling well; 4) lied and told me she has only had Covid once (she has “allergies” a number of times every year) but then slipped up recently and told me it was actually twice that she’s tested positive.

I feel very alone. Most of my friends have gone “back to normal” and look at me like I’m being extreme. I can’t bring up Covid; either their eyes gloss over than they stare at me with a blank expression or they get weirdly defensive. Before this text exchange, I asked her how do we go back to normal? Everyone is sick, new autoimmune issues everyday, new health problems, people are still dying - and she said I should try Buddhism. I feel like her responses are super flippant and, on top of this, I think the division in our morals is starting to cause problems for me as well. Am I overreacting? Being a bad friend? How do I even tell her all of this without blowing the friendship up anyway? It feels like a lost cause and I’m losing hope and perspective.
