"Many of the younger characters, like Jackie, use English mostly, but punctuate their dialogue with Chinese phrases — for impact and emphasis, just like my Dad."

You just answered a question I've had for almost 15 years now. In almost EVERY game, movie, TV show, or what-have-you, multilingual characters constantly…

Colonial Marines homage?

That... is the most interesting way to describe a person ever.

Not a quick learner are you?

And I should care about what other people are doing because...? Why can't I play the game the way I enjoy? I never said my Tal Rasha gear was good enough for higher rifts, I just said that I like using it.

I don't give a rat's ass about your rank, your abilities, or your opinions. This is a single player game I play…

Cool cool. Hey... where are you on my list of people whose opinions I give a rat's ass about? I can't find you anywhere in the top 100... or the top 1000! This is awkward - give me a moment to see if I can search the full list for your name.

I'm laying waste to T6 stuff, actually

The wolf is actually just a simulation.

"I've modded the game to remove everything that happens until you get to Gran Pulse the 2nd time"

That would be a good start.

Oh wait, that would remove 99% of the game.

Now see here, you, Jason has been playing the Pokeymans for longer than you've been alive - if he says it is Chardmander it is probably Chardmander!

I almost did - 3 times. Got saved by my templar twice and my Firebird's meteor saved me the 3rd time. I was sweating by the time that exit icon popped up.

I've seen that one, but the one I ran for my GRift was more accordian-shaped. Long tunnel, corner turn, long tunnel, corner turn... basically it looks like one of those Aztec serpent paintings. And it went on FOREVER.

I got 33 legendary drops yesterday - bless the RNG!

Funny you should mention the long tunnel - I had a GRift that was just that. It was the Caldeum Sewers level, but it was just a huge snaking tunnel with no branches. The more I ventured, the more I started to sweat - I was running a difficulty level right at my current limit, and dying in a GRift means having to…

Dammit, it is way too early in the morning, because my mind added an 'L' into 'Back' and my first thought was "wow - that sounds REALLY progressive for racial harmony in China."

Then I read the article while drinking coffee and had an "oh, wait..." moment.

At one time I had a build with 33mil toughness but only 900k dps - when I threw caution to the wind I ended up at 1.3mil dps and 12.5mil toughness. I can ditch the firebird's and such and get 1.6mil DPS and 18mil toughness, but this costs me my elemental and elite damage - I effectively am relying on that 1.6mil DPS…

I may need to learn how to teleport soon. I always seemed to have abysmal aim and end up standing next to something large and hungry.

I'm leveling my bane of the powerful and bane of the trapped right now - taeguk and zei's are already at 25, and while I like my taeguk I've had far too many experiences where keeping…

I haven't had a cindercoat drop at all since I hit 70 - rather annoying. I have had a few maximuses (maximi?) drop on me, but since I convinced myself that I wasn't going 2H, I fed them to the blacksmith. Egg on my face! But I do have a Sankaris I need to play with.

So I tried this build and it works surprisingly well except for two problems:

1) Things die slowly. That's not good for some greater rifts - namely the ones that seem to be mostly empty for long treks.

2) Things that charge/teleport/shift around become menacingly difficult to deal with. With my build, I can usually…
