When inflation was above 5% the real interest rate (nominal interest rate minus inflation) was still negative, which is expansionary. Even now that inflation has cooled off it’s still only positive 2% which is not that high by historical standards.

Couple that with firms reopening, and taking staff off furlough, and it’s not really that surprising that a recession didn’t eventuate. This wasn’t the 70s and early 80s with stagflation.

Yeah I prefer ssf. Cleared all the normal end game bosses plus Uber elder, but I probably spent as much time in path of building as I did in game. There’s a lot of depth but it’s a massive commitment if you have a goal in mind.

Honestly blasting through endless delve became my favourite way to play but that only happens a couple of time a year.

The main endgame, Monolith of Fate where you run echos, is very easy when you complete the story. I’ve usually been under-levelled by 10+. They path off in different directions and have different rewards types (e.g. gloves) so you can target gear that you most need. In this respect it’s a much better system than PoE as there’s far less layers of rng. You also don’t have to worry about map sustain, the echos don’t cost any type of resource.

Once you’ve completed the level 90 timelines you start farming empowered echos and have control over the difficulty based on how far from the starting point you go. The main issue is that this gets pretty monotonous having gone through so many echos already to get to that point.

There are also dungeons which require keys. These are accessible much earlier on the game and you unlock new difficulty levels by completing it each time. Lowest level is 20 but keys are relatively rare at that stage.

I’ve been playing it in early access and even patch 0.9 had it in a really good state.

Complexity is about halfway between PoE and Diablo meaning there’s decent build variety without needing to keep a guide or spreadsheet open on another monitor. Very easy to make your own build and if you brick it you can refund skill points without much hassle.

Looking forward to seeing what new end game content this brings.

Guessing someone else saw Taskmaster Champion of Champions.

I’d train them to flail nunchucks around me at all times. How else do you deal with aggressively slow walkers?

I’ve gone back to levelling my eternal toon and it’s great. 2-3 nm dungeons for a full level. Also seem to be getting more relevant upgrades which is great.

I do think gold is a little too plentiful though. It’s great to be able to enchant over and over again but at the same time it’s removed the “weight” of the decision to do so. Tends to make it feel less meaningful and more fun to try to hit a relevant affix.

There’s 3 factors you should take into account when trying to decide on resolution vs refresh rate:

  • Your graphics card
  • Your ideal monitor size
  • How far you sit from the monitor

If you’re going for a bigger screen (e.g 32”+) and sit close to the monitor then you’re going to want a higher resolution (1440p+). If it’s a 24” like the BenQ and it’s a couple of feet away from you, you’re probably better off prioritising refresh rate.

Or you can just use Calibre to convert any document format to any other https://calibre-ebook.com/download

Works for Kindle and other ereaders and only requires you to drag and drop the file onto the ereader.

Ahh that’s a much better solution than putting it on the router. Thank you.

Yeah, sorry, I probably included too much irrelevant information.

I’d like the pihole to be available outside of my LAN. I believe I can do so by setting up an OpenVPN configuration on my router.

However, I have a server on the LAN that needs to have it’s traffic masked from my ISP as it handles my torrent and Usenet traffic. My primary question is whether having a VPN set up on my router will interfere with the commercial VPN on the server.

I recently squeezed 30g into 500ml which didn’t leave much room. Still gaps between the buds, so it’s not all sandwiched together, but definitely wouldn’t have wanted to go any smaller.
