I started using Thumb-Key after MessagEase began charging a subscription. It had an "english symbols messageease" layout that was basically the same one I'd used for years.

Apparently Stomp is also one of the best crowd control abilities for lategame because it works on eximus like Thrax (and even Corrupted Jackal).

I agree with the fun part. The problem is recruiting for 64 exo runs. Typically that looks like this for me: the 5 out of 200 clanmates who play it are offline, the recruiting chat has 1 person who doesn't want to host, the pub player leaves by 30+ exo, and the organized Discord wants experienced levelcappers with voice chat only.

Chat windows that persist through host migrations, crashes, and logouts. Players that have messaged me or vice versa appearing in Recent without having to play a game with them. Messaging players in Clan/Friends/Recent who are "Playing" without inviting them + waiting for them to finish or screenshotting their name and alt-tabbing back and forth to type out /w 'mYn4mEhAs sPaCeS "4Nd qUoTeS"'. Copying ingame text and following links with an external site warning like what Discord has (disable it in trade chat if that's really a problem, in fact just disable trade chat on PC by default). Cross-platform friend invites.

Sparring weapons have some really fun and mobile stances but aren't used much except for Hirudo lifesteal (and that doesn't scale so well nowadays). They could benefit from an aoe increase (i.e. hitting out waves, phantom punches/kicks to either side), a way to translate their mobility into damage (i.e. parkour speed on kill, damage based on parkour distance) or unique scaling gimmicks that fit their power fantasy (i.e. armor/overguard-shattering punches).

I mostly want to see reworks of existing content. But I'll set my hopes low to avoid the "never gonna happen" category:

• More pet survivability options when not using Djinn/Panzer and more damage options when not using Verglas
• Circuit decrees persisting when rejoining squad after crashes/host migrations
• Better Drifter weapon scaling in SP
• Base stat buffs (not incarnon/dispo bandaids) to MR 0-7 weapons that aren't modular, Kuva/Tenet, or Duviri melees (obviously adjust incarnon buffs as needed)

Its 5th evo "Armed Inspiration" grants 5 combo counter when picking up ammo. This makes it a good budget QoL statstick for exalted/pseudo exalted frames that want 12x combo and can't get it with their abilities (i.e., Melee Guidance Baruuk/Excalibur, Gara). You attack with the dagger to build 12x combo and then (with Body Count installed) fire at least once every 17 seconds instead of deactivating Baruuk/Excalibur 4.

1st evo "Striking Swiftness" is generically useful if you don't play Ash or use Innodem as a real melee. Praedos and Ceramic Dagger Incarnon also help maintain combo and have more generically useful evos, they're just harder to acquire.

It's trivialized by Wukong + Zenurik Inner Might. Inner Might lets you cast clone (and Cloud Walker after a 1m cooldown) for free. The clone is not disarmed and will instantly shoot down the boss and other low level enemies with your primary/secondary. Wukong is also a strong choice for the second mission, which has a low energy capacity and regen modifier. The third mission doesn't mess with your energy so you can just bring a nuke.

I feel like superheroes have a plot constancy that forces them to stay superheroes. Their superpowers may lapse, but they generally get them back and feel justified in using them. Their main villains may fall or seemingly reform in one episode or series, but usually return as bad as ever. In Legends, Luke's fight with the Empire is almost over before it has begun. Cleaning up the Remnant and warlords falls to regular X-wing pilots and commandos in the New Republic era. Luke is more of a mediator than a fighter and mostly withdraws from heavy use of the Force by the New Jedi Order era. Even the new enemies of that era don't stay enemies forever. Instead of forcing constancy, Legends allows conflicts in these eras to be "solved" and to permanently change characters.

In that case, direct downloads (in conjunction with ProtonVPN free) would be a superior method. The article makes piracy sound synonymous with and exclusive to torrenting, but DDL and Usenet also exist. Many of the megathread categories have DDL links right at the top.

Cs.rin.ru is mainly gaming focused but has an FAQ that covers general DDL concepts like source trustworthiness/scene names and workarounds for filehoster limits. You could probably paraphase/quote or screenshot with credit (ironically) to save a login. The same people not wanting to sign up for a VPN might also look askance at a .ru domain.

Path of Exile. You will watch a cool new budget friendly league starter guide on YouTube and follow it religiously. You will install or update half a dozen 3rd-party tools for essential QoL. You will ignore the new league mechanics until maps while speedrunning the same unskippable story for each character. You will hide most loot and avoid risky item crafting. You will pickup currency to buy your gear wholesale from other players. You will reroll your character or rq if your build has no defense or bossing damage or becomes too expensive due to popularity (Mathil effect). You will repeat this cycle in 3-4 months.

Chroma. His 2 and 3 are unhealthy design that completely overshadow his more flavorful 1. His 4 is a summon pinata that doesn't make Chroma himself feel more like a dragon compared to, say, Shyvana R from League of Legends.

I'd like to see him actually fly like Titania 4 and have every ability feel like part of his fantasy (like Sevagoth). Add to that the burden of working in his elemental subtheme (hence "Chroma"), and a total rework akin to deleting the OG Chroma sounds better and better.
