Original artist is Mike Davis for any like me who were wondering.

Cunts

That’s what I’ve literally just traded up to from a Pi. Prodesk 600 G3 comes standard with a 6 core i5 8500, has 4 full size ram slots, an m2 ssd slot and has a mount for 3.5” hdd, all drawing only 65w.

There’s a low profile one as well but then you’re stuck with sodimm, no space for a full size hdd and no pci-e slots.

I picked it up second hand for NZD 100 so I imagine it would be even cheaper in the states.

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?
