2·19 days agoThe devs have said that all of the poe 2 engine code is being backported to poe 1. They may have already backported much of it. There is no “I can only play poe 2 because poe 1 code is bad”. It’s the same code.
Both games run on mostly the same code. POE2’s game engine is based on POE1’s code. There’s even examples where POE1 features have accidentally been left in POE2, example: the POE2 anointment window prompted you to use tainted oil, an item which doesn’t exist in POE2.
For performance issues, update your graphics driver, delete the game graphics cache files.
Try POE 1. Follow the pohx guide for new players. The next poe2 expansion is probably August.
redact dot dev is owned by a guy named Dan Saltman. Dan Saltman is the cohost to liberal youtuber Destiny (Steven Bonnell). Dan Saltman is openly Zionist and has tried to have all anti-Zionists banned from streaming websites, such as twitch. I would avoid using redactdev. I don’t trust them to securely delete things.
I avoid DoT builds because of DoT damage is capped at 30 mil dps. This league looks like it will be bossing oriented, with the addition of new bosses, the atlas thread system which compounds maps modifiers in the chain, and the mercenary dueling system.
Conner (OneManaLeft) has been predicting for months that this league would buff self-cast spell builds and it seems that he was proven to be correct in the patch notes. There’s huge buffs to arcane surge and cast speed. I’ll probably look into doing something with energy blade + spellblade + self cast.
In phrecia, I had a 5 mirror build (manaforged arrows whisperer) with over a billion dps. In settlers, I had a 10 mirror build (zenith juggernaut, I’m not sure what the dps was but it could do all map mods on t17 without any problems.
I’m really enticed by energy blade + self cast because you can swap in any spell you want. Also the buffs to cast speed will greatly improve transfigured frostblink (frostblink of wintry blast). Trans frostblink basically feels like you have Enigma is Diablo 2.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the GOAT
Thanks for tagging but tagging doesn’t work unless you put it in a comment. The pacing of this release feels too slow. I was expecting the league launch to be in early June at this point.
Who is The Originator? New Character? New boss? or an old character. The Originator is capitalized mid sentence, which means that it is a proper noun instead of a noun.
@FunkyStuff@hexbear.net What does it mean? Are we getting a new endgame? Will Zana return? Who wrote the letter?
These are just the rules of the community called “The Scene”. Fitgirl is not scene, for example. Also torrent sites are not part of the scene. Groups which release their content to torrent sites are usually called P2P groups. Torrents have built in hash checking as part of the torrent protocol. A release is only “The Scene” if it is listed in a predb.
The reason that Scene use CRC32 is probably because the scene is focused on racing. SHA256 would have a much longer calculation time. The scene has bunches of different groups, but there is only allowed to be 1 scene release per content slot. The scene rules set a minimum quality requirement. Whichever group fills the slot first has their group name in the predb forever. If a release is a duplicate or doesn’t match the rules, then it gets “nuked”. The groups compete with each other to be fastest.
I think also the CRC rule was originally decided in 1998. This might be the main reason.

In either case, be sure that you are not creating a solid archive, because if you do, the FTP sites will not be able to test the CRC integrity of each of the individual 15 meg segment file.
Before you start thinking about uploading your RAR files, please run a quick CRC test on each .0* file to check the validity of the archive. Ensure that you didn’t run out of hard drive space during the archive processing which could result in bad files.

1.15 The final release directory may contain only the following items:
- RAR archive volumes
- NFO file (singular)
- SFV file (singular)

Skidrow is a scene group. There’s this thing called “The Scene”. It’s been around since the 1970s. It’s not a website or centralized at any place. The Scene is made up of decentralized groups and they talk over IRC and agree upon release rules and release their files on ftp servers called “Topsites”. Topsites are only accessible by scene members but the releases get leaked to torrent sites. The structure is sort of anarchistic, but which I mean nonhierarchical and consensus-based decision making. It’s kind of fascinating.
To determine whether a scene release is trustworthy, it would depend where you downloaded it from and whether the release is still in the original rar files. Scene releases are uploaded to Topsites, but they are also announced in what is called a “pre”, the pre is the announcement message on the IRC server. There is a thing called “predb”, which records all of the release messages and makes them publicly searchable. The scene rules say that a game release has to be published in a multipart RAR archive, which also includes an .nfo file and a .sfv file. The reason for this is that Scene is very old and file transfers used to be slow so they broke up big releases into small even-sized files to easily replace corrupted files. The NFO file includes ascii art and information about the release. The SFV file contains CRC32 checksums for each RAR file. The SFV file is used to determine whether the RAR files were modified or corrupted.
I will say disclaimer. It is possible to fake CRC32 checksums. Matching CRC32 will not guarantee that files have not been tampered, but if the CRC32 doesn’t match then the files have been tampered or corrupted.
- Make sure that you are getting the files from a website that you trust.
- Make sure that the release is still in the original scene multipart rar files.
- Search a predb website for the release name which matches the files that you downloaded.
- Look at the CRC32 checksums on the website and check that it matches the file you downloaded.
I not sure the best way to do CRC32 checksums on windows. I usually do checksums on windows using 7zip software. With 7zip software, you can right click on a file in windows file explorer > 7-Zip > CRC SHA > CRC 32.

video of the crowd chanting “Free Palestine”

I think this is the song from the video. Around the 1m10s timestamp matches the twitter video. The reason why you can’t understand the lyrics is because they are singing in Irish. haha
KNEECAP is a hip hop trio from Northern Ireland with lyrics influenced by Irish Republicanism and IRA. :ira:
They also invited Hasan to walk across the stage at the start of the show.
The full vod is still on his twitter. doesn’t play with xcancel. He plays for 2 hours and doesn’t make it past the first zone. People spam him with DMs the whole time.
From DPRK media, KCNA. There’s 10 photos of Hwasong on the link.
Kim Jong Un went round a 300-seat video game house built in a characteristic style.
He was pleased to hear that the game house to be furnished with various kinds of facilities is expected to be very popular among young people including children when it is opened. He said that special attention should be paid to the establishment of its operation system and order and the preparations for service as this new space specializing in service for video games is a base of the service field to be opened for the first time in the country.

He’s going to be the mayor and in his free time he plays a city management game. This is like the pilots who go home and play flight simulator.
