Today, we'll be showcasing a handful of cool builds from Secrets of the Atlas. This is just a brief overview, so if you want to learn more about any of them, check out the links to the creators!

First up, we have an Ice Crash Slayer created by Paint_Master, as part of their challenge to make a build with a limit of one Divine!

To do this, Paint Master has employed several low cost unique items to get the most bang for your buck, or crash for your chaos in this case.

The Frostbreath unique mace, corrupted with Fortify on Hit, deals double damage to chilled enemies. We have this equipped in our main hand while using Ice Crash of Cadence, which makes hits with our mainhand weapon deal even more damage.

The Bitterdream unique sceptre lets us support our Ice Crash with a whopping eight support gems, without having to shell out for a six-linked body armour.

The Heatshiver unique helmet provides a large amount of our cold damage as extra fire damage against enemies that are chilled, which we can comfortably apply with our heavily supported Ice Crash.

This build clears all but the most pinnacle content with a cool calm demeanor, without a chilling price tag.

Jungroan's Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice Occultist

If you're a cat person, this next build is for you. Actually, it might not. This is frankly far too many cats.

Created by Jungroan, inspired by tech from the aptly named Devilcat - this Occultist uses Forbidden Rite of Soul Sacrifice, to spew an unholy amount of deadly space kitties. The Celestial Cat Skill Effect, makes the theme.

There's a few very important moving parts that require specific breakpoints in order for this build to function correctly, so we strongly recommend checking out Jungroan's video on this build if you'd like to consume the souls of your foes in a cosmic feline frenzy.

Mewfour's Crushing Fist Gladiator

If you're allergic to cats, you can just punch things. Actually, anyone can just punch things. The One Megafisto Man created by Mewfour does this better than most.

This character is built around Crushing Fist, a retaliation skill that activates on block. In order to use it, we first need to block consistently. Megafisto uses the Gladiator for its incredibly high effective chance to block attacks and spells.

Of course your character also needs to scale its damage somehow! Mewfour has taken the Impaler Keystone which lets our single punch apply a bunch of Impale stacks, in the off chance that our initial punch doesn't annihilate our enemies!

BaumisMagicalWorld's Scorching Ray Totem Hierophant

Our final build today is another one that makes great use of Mercenaries. This Scorching Ray Totem Hierophant is still possible to play without a Mercenary, but build creator BaumisMagicalWorld mentions that the addition of Mercenaries rounds out the build and plugs some of its holes.

Scorching Ray is great against single targets, but lacking in clear speed and crowd control effects. This is where the Mercenary comes in. Baumi suggests that any Mercenary with a strong area of effect can be used, but the Merc of choice in this case is a Flamehand.

Equipped with unique items that allow their fire damage to freeze and shock, our mercenary applies ailments and clears monsters while we can focus on taking out the tougher enemies.

This is a great showcase of how Mercenaries can be a powerful ally even when our build isn't specifically designed to buff the Merc's damage.

Thanks to all Exiles out there creating exciting and unique builds, and in particular those Exiles we've highlighted in this news post!

The New York Times has published an op-ed by a genocide scholar who says that he resisted acknowledging the truth of what Israel is doing in Gaza for as long as he could, but can no longer deny the obvious.

It’s an admission that may as well have come from The New York Times itself.

In an article titled “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”, a Brown University professor of Holocaust and genocide studies named Omer Bartov argues that “Israel is literally trying to wipe out Palestinian existence in Gaza,” and denounces his fellow Holocaust scholars for failing to acknowledge reality.

I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:

Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.

I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.

The site: abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.

Any workarounds?

This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?

Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?

il mio quaderno delle uccisioni 🥰 (quadernino per raccogliere i cadaveri delle zanzare)

Ormai lo sappiamo: la probabilità di riuscire casualmente a cacciare fuori nuove idee geniali e prestigiose è inversamente proporzionale alla “sanità mentale” (intesa come la intendono i normaloidi, che puntualmente sono quegli individui sempre perfettamente banalotti e persistentemente dimenticabili) media del momento preso in esame… Ed è proprio per questo che io mi rifiuterò sempre e comunque di prendere le “medicine”, e che come postulato a questa osservazione abbiamo proprio l’impeto creativo che ieri sera, nel mezzo della mia disperazione dovuta alle cose da fare, ho accolto senza pensarci due volte (…e che sul momento non ho avuto tempo di postare, mentre stamattina non ho avuto voglia, il pomeriggio me ne sono proprio scordata, e la sera appena finita ho fatto altro, ops). 🦟

Allora, ieri sera è apparsa una zanzara davanti a me alla scrivania, di botto. Era molto scema, tant’è che l’ho ciaccata subito con le mani e senza nemmeno sporcarmi… ed è esattamente in quell’istante, vedendo bene a fuoco sotto il mio naso la carcassa di quell’essere della specie più assolutamente demoniaca — non banalmente fastidiosa, e non solamente aggressiva, ma attivamente invadente ed ostile, costantemente alla ricerca di creature a sangue caldo per l’intero globo terracqueo, con il preciso intento di violarle, fisicamente e, di conseguenza, emotivamente — ho avuto l’illuminazione definitiva. Quegli esseri immondi non vogliono semplicemente il mio o il vostro sangue — se così fosse, se lo prenderebbero tranquillamente da un piattino o qualcosa del genere lasciato in stanza, e detto francamente non mi dispiacerebbe affatto doverglielo cedere, perché quantomeno avrei una scusa per tagliarmi considerata valida dai normaloidi… Quelle merde vogliono avvelenarci, con le loro punture fatte sempre a cazzo di cane, essendo loro spesso incapaci di centrare i vasi sanguigni, finendo per iniettare quantità industriali di sostanza irritante (è quella che causa il gonfiore) nell’epidermide, causando quel prurito infuocato difficilmente spiegabile a parole… 😖😡😠👹

Nel mentre che l’insettaccio allora giaceva morto ad aspettare, io cercavo un quadernino, di dimensioni piccole e poche pagine, giusto da usare per un solo preciso scopo… collezionare fisicamente questi cadaveri, affiancati da essenzialissimi necrologi (ovviamente scritti tutti con le penne colorate, in contrasto al nero della morte di per sé e di questi pezzi di biomassa). Non ce l’avevo, ovviamente, e non volevo prenderne uno buono grosso dal mio malloppetto, perché sul momento temevo che questa specie di mia sadica missione puramente vendicativa non potesse davvero continuare oltre quell’attimo… voglio dire, mica saranno tutte così sceme le zanzare da farsi continuare a prendere come ha fatto questa qui… E, invece, proprio stasera ne è uscita un’altra: siamo già a quota 2, su un totale stimato contenibile (se mantengo la corrente densità di archiviazione) di 72, per un raccoglitore che ho creato non altro che suddividendo 1 foglio protocollo A4 in una serie di fogli A5 spillati (quindi, blocchetto A6). 🐹

Forse è meglio che io sia arrivata solo ora, ben tardi come al solito, per fare questo post, allora… perché il quadernino è già molto più piacevole da vedere con ben due vittime, la cui esistenza malvagia è stata dalla sottoscritta terminata, per sempre. Mamma mia regà, lo dico senza mezzi termini: non solo ho proprio una voglia morbosa ed irrefrenabile di commettere un terribile genocidio contro questi affari, ma, non capisco perché, sento di doverne esporre in questo modo i resti alla gogna perpetua; e, tra carta e scotch, in questo mi sento assolutamente invincibile. Spero solo che non si decompongano, perché voglio che rimangano davvero per sempre, deve essere un monito… ma incastrati così non dovrebbero evaporare, suppongo; spero. 🥱

Ma… sapete cosa? Vi butto anche una confessione, così, perché io sono fiera della mia malvagità, e me ne frego di cosa gli attivisti per i diritti degli insetti potrebbero dire… In realtà, questa estate, per il momento, non mi risulta di essere stata morsa nemmeno una volta dalle zanzare (o forse, letteralmente solo una volta e poi niente; anche perché di sera, che è il periodo in cui girano di più, io sto sempre segregata in casa)… o, se è successo, hanno prelevato il sangue sempre bene, ma francamente ne dubito. “Ohhh noooo, come puoi fare tutto questo, le zanzare ti stanno lasciando stare e tu le ringrazi in questo modo, razza di assassina” — SILENZIO!!! Il periodo che va dalla fine di un’estate all’inizio della successiva non determina la fine della guerra, ma meramente un periodo di cessate il fuoco; insomma, gli attacchi subiti in passato hanno ancora un peso, ed ora è francamente arrivato il momento più perfetto per le ritorsioni, le quali non sono ulteriormente ritardabili! (E, casomai questa argomentazione non dovesse convincere… diciamo che lo sto facendo per vendicare la gente a me vicina, che invece quest’estate sta venendo assalita tranquillamente, e la chiudiamo qui, buonanotte!) 😂🔪
