    They are the same Nintendo in my brain

    Are they both dungeon games too

    One is baldurs gate / planescape torment style stuff

    One is diable style stuff with massive maddening skill trees

    The skill tree is pretty easy once you realize 90% of it is useless depending on your build.

    It's the math that is difficult to wrap your head around.

    New Orleans coffee is so good tho

    chicory coffee originated when union blockades cut off the coffee supply to the port of new orleans during the civil war

    It's always so weird how that works. The same stuff that was made fun of is now popular and listened to by those that made fun of it before.

    It must be really lamentable, to be a queer poc and have your culture invaded by the same dudebros that said culture originally arose to provide refuge from

    This is actually a really good case study in cultural appropriation. That people are forgetting its ties the gay community is the reason it's a problem (not that more people are making and enjoying the music).

    Why is that a problem?

    It's a problem because it's another way that a marginalized group has their contributions to art and culture denied.

    It's a problem because it's another way that a historically othered group continues to be othered.

    It's a problem because it's another way the dominant group asserts its cultural hegemony.

    What do you mean? Denied how?

    How does that relate?

    Again, explain.

    I'm going to be honest, I'm having a real hard time wanting to engage you on this topic due to past interactions. Literally all of these questions have been answered in previous posts on the subject.

    marginalized people make good art. From this truth I have developed two unassailable opinions.

    1) individual artists should be marginalized as much as possible in order to contribute to their success.
    2) we should guarantee that there will always be some groups that are marginalized, so the flow of good art continues.

    Damn, I've just been in such a bad mood this week.

    I hoped the joys of Friday would shake me out of it. But nope. Still just in a shit mood.

    PoE is the D2-styled ARPG taken to its logical extreme.

    A lot of hubub is made about the massive skill tree, but really, it's not that big of a deal.

    What is a big deal is that you can swap out a single item on your build or substitute a single gem on a set of gems that are linked and create a different playstyle, or that there are ranged/melee build with elemental/physical/dot styles for every single hero type.
