I don't know enough to say whether this is valid or just crybaby tech bros having a fit on fox news but like... God I hope deepseek is completely stolen like this because and I hope there's absolutely nothing closedai can do about the fact that there's a better thief out there on the market. Fuck them so hard and fuck their hypocrisy about stealing data. Maybe we can finally move away from trying to use a double digit percentage of national electric grid capacity to power a fucking glorified magic 8ball

Genitals and mouths were meant for eachother. Between your tongue and your nose you have two of the best sex toys ever invented just sitting right there on your face. All the time

Bose gender concentrate; presents male normally, but female when force is applied. Literally, slap my ass and call me sally

Idk if you did this on purpose but the right eye of that thinking emoji lines up perfectly with the front facing camera on my phone and it gave him a monocle as I scrolled away

I disagree with your placement of duelist so low on the tier list. I completely agree that her early game is the weakest but I think you're undervaluing how much of a powerspike getting a dirk or a roundshield early is. I also think you're undervaluing feint because you're using it wrong; feint is a combat ability, not a movement ability. I use it as a parry that applies vulnerable and generates weapon charge and I have a lot of success with it.

Mostly agree about huntress! I think spirit hawk is the best huntress crown ability and its not close though. The hawk hard counters scorpions in the demon halls, and it means you never have to facecheck a door again. The blind on its attacks can also be used to great effect against evil eyes and the guaranteed dodges make it a great tool for baiting succubus/ripper gap closers. It can also be used on the sniper to gain vision of enemies who are out of line of sight due to grass, which can lead to some incredibly free spirit bow kills

Rogue and warrior both sound about right to me. Poor warrior being terrible forever :(

Mage I have no comment on because that class bores me to tears lol. There's no way I have a relevant opinion on its relative power level, it feels like a class that plays the same every run and wins every run since you get to spend upgrade scrolls on your endgame weapon from floor 1.

Cleric also no comments because I haven't tried the class

Great use for 1/8 of a CVS receipt. What did you do with the rest of it?

I mean, at the end of the day the American military is primarily a force of blue color workers that have been swimming in propaganda for their entire career which tells them that the most honorable thing they can possibly do is die to protect their family and their country. At some point a lot of them are going to have the realization that rich men in America are a far greater danger to their country and loved ones than the goat herders they've been killing in the desert for the last 3 decades. I'd bet that every American billionaire is individually responsible for more American deaths in the past 30 years than the entirety of the middle east combined. Realizing that you're a stormtrooper rather than the freedom fighter you were told you would be is a tough pill to swallow.

I'll never be able to forget the sight of a pile of burning corpses and I'll never forget the pain I've seen my friends and family go through to get an insurance company to pay for things like insulin or cancer treatment. The growing number of people in/previously in the American military who have had these kind of experiences is a massive problem for the oligarchs.

When you grow up in a zero trust society people doing things out of kindness is suspect. During my childhood and early adulthood kindness was a cover for somebody lying to me or trying to scam me nearly 100% of the time, and that stuck with me. It still fucks me up to this day that people being kind to me makes me cagy and want to isolate myself

I've never believed in god, but I think I can believe in saints now after Saint Luigi and Saint Javelin

Identifying flirting when you're autistic is hard. I did an extra-cirricular in highschool that involved regular travel for tournaments. One time while on one of those trips a girl on the team knocked on my hotel room door and asked if she could sleep in my room because her roommate was being loud, so I let her in and she slept with me in my bed. I mean slept in a very literal sense; I took her at face value and thought she was just trying to get better sleep for the tournament the next day. I did not understand that she was flirting with me until years later when the roommate who was "being loud" that night tore into me for rejecting her and destroying her self esteem. The kicker is that I was into her, I just had no idea she liked me. It seems very plausible to me that anon is/was that bad at identifying flirting

Party of personal responsibility. Fuck that clown, I hope he gets to learn what it's like to use food stamps

 

The Blister Exists, by slipknot. In case the link doesn't work properly. The drum part that starts at ~2:12 is imprinted on my psyche for the rest of my life. I smack my thighs hard enough to bruise air-drumming along to this song

 

Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight

The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game

 

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
