I’d fucking die if I’d be surrounded by a homogenous mass of “typical germans”. My fellow germans, mind you.

L take.

Succinct. I like it.

We have one of the worst rates of home ownership in DE, compared to the rest of EU: Page is in german but the graph is pretty much self-explanatory.
But that can’t be the sole reason, because the home ownership rates are actually better in the east than in the west. Hmm, during the Cold War, the former GDR actually had incredible child care. Even smaller companies were often required to have some sort of Kindergarten and other support for parents. Maybe this is still remembered by today’s potential parents, and - like someone said ITT - parents have it hard enough already.

Fun fact: This was explained to me (in High School…) because “the enemy” wanted to indoctrinate children at a very young age because communism… I didn’t even had to ask, that came immediately when the then GDR was discussed as part of the official curriculum.

I’d like to humbly disagree: Quality and quantity matters, a lot.
Huffing paint thinners is a bad idea obviously.

Yeah, I’m not discussing the article further after checking your post history.

Just one little tidbit of information for you: The sentences at the start on a rather lenghty article, usually set in a different typeset, is called “synopsis”. I know I know, I was like “wooaaah” when I learned that >30 years ago.

This is some deep dive

I will steal this!

I mean the skill effects especially. Or maybe even the choice of skills. If you use Lightning Strike with many projectiles (which also return) and some fancy MTX: self-inflicted clutter. I played a Bleedplosion Gladiator and a Viper Strike of the Mamba Trickster this season, both were fine clutter-wise.

Visual clutter is your own responsibility in PoE, just saying :)
But I get where you come from.
