counterpoint, sometimes the best gear has terrible art design. looking at you t1 Druid set or even worse, sometimes the mathematically bis list means wearing a hodge podge of different sets to activate specific set bonuses or maximize one particular stat.
You’re effectively asking the art design and game design teams to line up and hit 100% of the time, which just isn’t feasible. Transmog is the bandaid for all the times one or both teams miss.

The future is coming whether we fight it or not. High schoolers fuckin love AI slop. Eventually, all of us who remembered the old days of human created media will die, and the people who grew up with slop being the only thing we know will take our place, and our societal standards will lower more and more.

probably won’t be able to find out how your own brain is structured without getting a scan, but your local university neuroscience lab might be interested in a free test subject and would give you a scan in exchange for studying your brain.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 3 weeks ago:
it’s a bit of a “chicken and egg” problem, but yes studies show that conservatives typically have an overactive amygdala. now, is it overactive because they’re conservative, or are they conservative because it’s overactive? hard to say.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 4 weeks ago:
yeah let’s just conveniently ignore the part where nearly the same number of adolescent girls also think violence should be used to oppose feminism. That part is very interesting, and a reason why this research is important.
- Comment on Well, that looks like it could be a Fallout: New Vegas remaster tease from a Fallout 76 support studio 4 weeks ago:
sorry did I miss an announcement that Fallout 3 is getting a remaster?
New Vegas is the better game, sure, but 3 is really showing it’s age and I’ve had issues getting it running stable on modern hardware. New Vegas is no spring chicken, but I’d say it generally runs better. Are we just doing a remaster to try and capitalize on the TV show hype?

finally, all of that training with my crackhead cat will pay off!
- Comment on Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition gets released on Steam and Steam Deck Verified 1 month ago:
I don’t actually think you need to use the third party launcher if you buy through Steam. At the very least, D4 doesn’t require it.
Still will need a Battlenet account, but if you’re buying D2 I imagine you’d have one, even if it was 25 years old. Is there anyone who’d seriously check out this game who has never heard of Diablo before?
- Comment on Games Workshop ban staff from using genAI in Warhammer, saying they're not “excited about it yet” 2 months ago:
In a follow-up post, James Workshop revealed he was actively putting employees brains in jars as an alternative to what he called “the heresy of iron.”

there is no second season of Psycho-Pass :)
- Comment on Every anime ever… 2 months ago:
There’s definitely a contingent of Oda’s angels, and their proselytizing has been growing louder and louder. I think part of it has to do with the Live-Action making the series more popular in the West.
That being said, I heavily agree with your take. It’s the kinda thing that’s pretty easy to get sucked into watching, and then you’re cursed into watching more than a thousand episodes.
- Comment on Kaiju No.8 Final Chapter/Season Teaser Visual 3 months ago:
I guess I’m glad there won’t be a long wait between seasons, but I can’t shake the feeling season 2 felt like complete filler.

Anyone wanna start a betting pool on the number of rounds of voting it’ll take for them to elect a new speaker? I’m feeling good about 12 rounds.
- Comment on Crunchyroll is Officially Ending Its Free Ad-Supported Streaming Service on December 31, 2025 3 months ago:
Correct.
The new Crunchyroll subs are not good. I think my favorite example of terrible translations so far was the latest season of Dr. Stone changing the main character’s catchphrase “this is exhilarating” to “this is tempting.”
The multi-million dollar corporation just doesn’t care.
- Comment on As Path of Exile 2: The Last of the Druids gears up for release next week, its devs , sort of, delay its 1.0 release date 3 months ago:
At the current rate of content, I’d bet they’ll hit 1.0 maybe end of 2027-early 2028, and it still probably won’t be worth playing over PoE1 for another few patches after current game director Jonathan’s rumored departure.
- Comment on CD Projekt plan to release The Witcher 4, 5, & 6 within six years of one another, and oh, are those pigs flying? 3 months ago:
I mean, yeah it’s 100% possible. Especially if they’re just gonna stick to UE and not care too much if there’s optimization issues.
The thing is, why? Why for any of this? Wouldn’t they make more money doing like two DLCs for each of them, giving them a bit more polish and post-launch touch ups, doing like a GOTY re-release, just really milk each game like they did Witcher 3? What’s the rush for? Are they trying to speedrun to beat the end of Western civilization?
- Comment on Girlfriend 4 months ago:
didn’t a lot of women end up leaving tinder because it’s gained reputation as exclusively a hook-up app, leaving mostly bots? Is this meme just a v old repost? I believe Hinge is the app de jour, but I might be out of date.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 4 months ago:
okay, but that’s not really what this story is about. it’s about an industry that is seeing the opening salvo of an impending economic collapse.
- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 4 months ago:
I dunno why so many people are dunkin on Ubisoft here. Sure, they make shit, but they’re commenting on an industry wide issue.
and it’s not just their industry. People are also going out to the movies less. Restaurant profits are down as people are staying in more often. I haven’t checked, but I imagine bars are likely struggling right now as well. It’s almost like Western economies are reaching a breaking point, and people are unable to afford anything beyond the bare necessities.

Y’know, when I first watched episode 1, I really didn’t expect this show to be about puberty.
- Comment on One Piece Chapter 1165 4 months ago:
kinda hate how rushed the ending of God Valley has been We had about three chapters worth of the Kuja nonsense that went nowhere, and then all of God Valley is like six chapters total.
- Comment on [Discussion] Which anime has the most mysterious atmosphere? 4 months ago:
Ergo Proxy is so mysterious that I’ve seen it twice and am still not sure what the fuck actually happens
- Comment on Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound 4 months ago:
Had a partner who was like this. I was consistently baffled by so many things he had issues with. Any time we were discussing something like directions or driving or even just moving like a couch, he would be so confused when I would say “I just picture it in my head.”
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your most 'comfy' anime? 5 months ago:
It’s not a comfy anime, but I’ve watched the first season of Psycho-Pass about three dozen times, and it’s become so familiar to me that I find it comfy.
- Comment on Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason 5 months ago:
The thing is, fansubs had a whole host of problems and weird translation shit too. Our standards have just dropped because a multimillion dollar corporation with a near monopoly of the industry can’t be bothered to hire people.
- Comment on China bans influencers from speaking on ‘serious’ topics like finance or health without university degree 5 months ago:
honestly, incredibly based.
People with platforms shouldn’t be allowed to spread blatant misinformation. That shit is incredibly harmful to uneducated people.

- Comment on One Piece anime TV series will release a maximum of 26 episodes per year 2026 onwards 5 months ago:
And the pacing will still be ass
- Comment on Relatable. 5 months ago:
Damn, even this isn’t quite what I was looking for.
I know the reason is to save costs, but holy fucking shit the anime just loves repeating scenes huh? I think the most egregious is the flashbacks to stuff already shown in the same episode, it’s like there’s only 8 minutes of actual content in a 22 minute episode. Part of the strength of One Pace is that a lot of those repeated scenes are completely cut out, which condenses a couple of episodes into one.
- Comment on Relatable. 5 months ago:
I still enjoyed it, but maybe a quarter of the way through you can really start to tell that it was based on a visual novel dating kinda game and a lot of that stuff turned me off.
I also hate that it gets recommended as a great time travel anime. It’s a terrible time travel anime, it doesn’t even count as time travel. It’s a monkeys paw anime!
