  1. Past hour
  2. Ever feel like you're going nowhere in life?
  3. Today
  4. gonna suggest it were likely less insecurity than incompetence. no survivors meant that there were nobody alive to contradict the dangerous narco-terrorist narrative concocted by the trump administration. is no 4-d chess being played by trump and his lackeys. general incompetence is the main thing holding this administration back from far more terrible outcomes, not that the current reality is benign. even so, we don't even wanna imagine how bad the situation might be if william barr were still running doj and if a competent secdef were in place at the pentagon. am guessing steven miller and trump wanted images o' dead venezuelan narco terrorists, and hegseth made it happen sans any genuine consideration o' legalities or consequences. a legal memo rationalizing the attacks weren't created until after the first murders happened. hegseth, being the wünderb00b that he is, decided on the following plan: caedite eos. novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius... 'cause he likely saw on a t-shirt or has it tattooed somewhere on his body. the reasons and explanations for the boat attacks were cobbled together after the fact by people smarter than hegseth. however, once a half dozen boats were hit, and a couple dozen people were murdered, the trump administration realized that there weren't a need to coverup evidence 'cause americans didn't f'ing care. multiple media outlets reported that there were no chance fantanyl were being smuggled on the boats being sunk and that as often as not, the people on the boats were ordinary local fishermen who were transporting cocaine to supplement their meager incomes. but nobody cared. as such, people with actual firing neurons realized that as long as the US didn't arrest and put survivors o' boat attacks on trial, the survivors could be sent home to venezuela and the trump narrative could be perpetuated on fox news w/o any counter-factual to muddy their propaganda efforts. is no need to murder survivors. incompetence v. insecurity... recognizing that they ain't mutual exclusive. HA! Good Fun!
  5. Not just that, he drove across the US to do it. Plus he has a wife and children. The only (bizarre) conspiracy that occurs to me is he's a Taliban sleeper agent who was activated to get Trump to react the way he did, forcing Afgan refugees to return home and face revenge. But that's too MAGA/Q-anon-think. Maybe he has family members in Afghanistan who weren't extracted, and faced retaliation for his actions? Or perhaps he's just triggered by military deployments into cities. *shrug*
  6. I am also having the same bug.... I did both missions for the VP's (I had already gone to the memory refreshments facility and killed the Dr and got all documents for the 2nd mission) now there is no more dialogue and the lift level 1 is inaccessible- this is a pretty game breaking bug right at endgame as!
  7. Now the US double tapping the "drug boats". REMF Hegseth saying to kill everyone. The dangers of an insecure male.
  8. Hey, sorry for the late reply! A good place to start is the modding documentation that Obsidian themselves provided, and the Apotheosis mod tool by Noqn. The modding documentation is pretty intimidating at first but does a pretty good job explaining purpose of most of the game data contained in the .gamedatabundle files. Where as Apotheosis is built for exploring and working with that game data in a way that is much more approachable than having to format and parse those .gamedatabundle files. Otherwise if you have any questions about how to do more specifics things feel free to ask! So board strokes: Characters -> CharacterSubClass. This is where you set up the basics of a new Subclass entry. Abilities -> GenericAbilities and StatusEffects -> StatusEffect My advice would be to duplicate existing abilities and status effect that are close to what you want and make the necessary tweaks to those. Some of the data types for abilities and their parameters can be a bit confusing to navigate when making them from scratch. So maybe duplicate something like "Spiritshift_Cat" and make changes to a spider model, and for the decay penetration duplicate something like Heart of the Storm and change the keyword for the Attackfilter to on the status effect. ProgressionTables -> BaseProgressionTableAppend This can be a bit complicated to explain. Depending on what you are trying to do. A new BaseProgressionTableAppend is the best as far compatibility with other mods, when it comes to adding new abilities and features to a class, as these addition are additive to the existing class progression tables. However from what I can tell it doesn't support conditional subtractive edits. Such as setting restriction on existing abilities (such as losing access to certain base class abilities like with the Watershaper with fire abilities for example) for a new subclass. These types of edits may require making edits to how conditions for abilities unlocks on ClassProgressionTable.
  9. same problem for me as well. Kill the AXL Boss, re-spawns grass and stems.
  10. Playdate - This was a strange buddy comedy with Reacher and the King of Queens. It didn't turn out like I expected. There was a lot of absurdity. That being said, the 12-year old kids were realistic. I think they were supposed to be absurd as well, but as a middle school teacher, I can tell you that preteens on energy drinks do actually become crazed heat seeking missiles.
  11. Watched the first two episodes of the new Stranger Things season. I dunno.. maybe it's the 3 years break, or maybe I grew out of it, but it's really not hooking me at all. Something about it feels really boring to me, maybe it's just oversaturation now. Also, due to the time gap, everyone is really old now. It's very hard to imagine them as school children, when even that one black girl nerd kid from the last season looks like a grown up now, lol.
  12. It's hard to see the real world gain from ambushing two national guardsmen. We are at a point now where political violence is normalized to an extent. Similar i suppose to the 60's and 70s. The impact wont last more than a week or two. So, what's the calculated payoff in doing something like this ? To me it does kinda point to someone who isn't thinking straight.
  13. Whenever a companion calls out the presence of a nearby enemy while sneaking, the audio line cuts out just before it ends. This affects all companions.
  14. If the free shield from Contingency Screen triggers while you have a different (non-shield) gadget equipped, swapping to Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus changes its activation cost to 0 energy, which makes it infinitely spammable. To fix the bug, you have to let the manually activated shield expire, swap to a different (non-shield) gadget, then swap back to Gas-Energy Deflection Apparatus.
  15. A couple of additional audio bugs I noticed: if you partially reload a Plasma SMG, the sound effect continues playing even after the reload animation concludes if you have increased magazine size, the sound effect that plays when reloading a Bio-Mass Shotgun cuts out before the reload animation concludes
  16. Hello, Sadly i stuck in the n ray range since the beginning of November and i cant continue. Obsidian ist working on the Bug and it will be fixed in the next Patch. The Last Patch droped almost 3 weeks ago. Maybe someone knows when the next Patch will drop. I really wanna continue the Game i cant continue for about 4 weeks now..
  17. Still no updates :(. Can't finish game and start new session.
  18. This title has bugs aplenty. You'd think maybe having resources tube-fed by the Microsoft© conglomerate would lead to more polish. Anyway, here are various tiny bugs that the team would hopefully patch up (but will likely ignore as they are small). The torch tends to redirect diagonally and gets stuck pointing towards to the upper left corner of the screen, when used for some period of time during third-person (far). Inez stays on Paradise Island landing pad. When recruiting Inez as a companion on Paradise Island, there are two of them (clones) - one who follows you, the other stays on the landing pad. The saving indicator (with Auntie's face on it) stays on screen for a very long time - sometimes even saving. In the Incognito, Tristan remains standing next to the entrance to the bridge upon finishing his companion quest. You don't see him going anywhere else on the ship. He doesn't go anywhere else on the ship. (Super immersion-breaking.) Upon the end of a cinematic death scene, your camera points to a direction totally different to where it was just before the death scene began. (Can sometimes end up looking 360° behind.) Some barks showing subtitles but no audio. Golden Shroud has small yellow graphical artifact gilding on the cape. (Duchamp's moustache on the Mona Lisa.) Note: PS5 (standard) version
  19. I replied earlier today but unsure if it will get approved. Just wanted to follow up to say the glitch triggered again despite me avoiding AutoDocs so don't know what it causing it. Loading older save helps but it will just trigger randomly.
  20. Every time I start the game and get to the main menu, the Moon Man starts to talk but only gets about halfway through the dialog when the audio cuts as if I'd intentionally skipped it. Playing on PS5 with the latest version of the game.
  21. up to aurora, we use argenta as a sniper. the rest o' the game am going flamer(s). argenta and heinrix, played as their kinda defaults, become cheat characters by mid game and although a flamer argenta isn't that much weaker than bolter, she feels a tiny bit less cheaty and so am able to add her to our party with our conscience unblemished. keep in mind, am not pretending as if our feels make sense, but given owlcat's writing efforts coupled with the intentional ludicrousness o' the setting, playing rogue trader complete reasonable and rational would be a comical self-own. HA! Good Fun! ps a respec after each major patch is kinda de rigueur at this point, although am not sure if the aoe psyker staff powers being treated as dodgeable melee attacks is intended or not. regardless, am recalling how a few people in this thread went nuts when obsidian considered adding respec to pillars. how bob's use o' respec could ruin doug's game confused us even at the time, but regardless, am amused there were nary a peep about owlcat's wrath or rogue trader respec from the purists.
  22. I'm having so much trouble with a few of the achievements in this game. the ones that are bugged for me are: -SA Quarterlies Quantified -Whew, That's Enough! -Go Out With a Bang I've made progress on the first two (80% and 71%, respectively). I made a second character to try and re-do the achievements and complete them, but now progress won't count on them on my new character! I found all issues of the SA magazines and turned them all in at once to complete the quest, and am still stuck at 80%. and the other achievement involving the Big Bang weapon is just bugged, I have killed more than three enemies at once with it, and it won't register the achievement. it's incredibly frustrating because getting achievements completed is my favorite thing to do with video games, and I'm sick of wasting time on this game just to not be able to complete them. are there any plans for any bug fixes for them??
  23. hmmm why do you suggest the shooter is "unstable"? am sure not going so far as to suggest that the cia were the responsible party for claimed instability. am not certain o' the shooter's background and motivations such that am comfortable making such an observation. the shooter's actions were vile and unforgivable, but is too easy to dismiss him as unstable and somehow blame the cia appears knee-jerk at best. sans info, could just as easily imagine that the taliban, or the shooter's parents were responsible for shaping rahmanullah lakanwal. also, is too easy to dismiss bad actions as the result o' instability. @Guard Dog claimed he would shoot cops if they came onto his property to take his rusty chainsaw. unstable? maybe, but gd had convinced himself that shooting otherwise innocent people doing their duty were worth the human cost 'cause there were a greater principle involved. crackpot? wingnut? maybe, but we don't see gd as particular monstrous or unhinged even if a few o' his beliefs is fodder for the lunatic fringe. nevertheless, if gd had shot a cop in defense o' his chainsaw, it would be convenient and popular to dismiss his actions as monstrous and insane. too easy. label as unstable and monstrous means it is safe for average americans to dismiss an act or actor as unique and exceptional. am always warning people to wait after these situations where what we do not know far outweighs what we do know. almost nobody looks foolish by waiting a week. waiting means that a few yahoos get the chance to set the narrative, which is maybe important if you are a politician, but for anybody else is there an excuse? how many times has we seen on this board where Gromnir has been able to i told you so the folks who got out in front of facts and came to bad conclusions based on paucity o' information? am not certain o' the shooter's motivations and what in his mind justified a husband and father o' five children to travel thousands of miles so that he could shoot national guardsman in dc. most murders is impulsive. in spite o' lack o' certainty, am willing to concede this shooting does not appear impulsive, so the shooter likely had reasons. better or worse than gd's rusty chainsaw defense? dunno. tps for afghanistani refugees were ended earlier this year. our government transformed many thousands o' documented immigrants into undocumented immigrants... 'cause. the reality is that ending tps o' people who had aided US efforts in afghanistan means that the US government is knowing murdering many people by sending them back to the tender mercies o' the taliban. is not a "well, maybe... " kinda situation. send many back to afghanistan is a f'ing death sentence. D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack contrary to trump claims o' no dc murders post deployment, there has been more than 60 homicides in dc since the national guard were deployed-- troops didn't eliminate violent crime. now, post shooting, dc cops is gonna be tasked with protecting the national guard troops. what? am suspecting the point o' the deployments in la, chicago and dc were to provoke a violent response, and that hasn't happened... unless you are bruce and you have been watching only fox and right-wing sources o' news. the wh has been waiting for violence, but instead o' summer 2020 protests, which were never as widespread or bad as they were depicted on fox, we got months o' images o' protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes, pastors being shot in the head with pepper balls and hundreds o' living banksy memes. given the reality, the wh has become desperate for a violent response they could seize on to amplify one o' their narratives o' fear, which is no doubt why they tried to prosecute sandwich guy and other stoopid. yeah, a fully vetted afghani refugee who had worked with the cia is not an ideal target for anti-immigrant ire, but that don't matter 'cause facts has never been particular important to the maga base. what is most terrible is that the wh narrative might work in part 'cause o' how @Hurlshotportrays the situation. if you are selling fear, then root causes become far less important than is is practical safety concerns. example: those cigarette boats hegseth ordered destroyed weren't anywhere near the US when they were attacked by US forces, and if they were carrying drugs it were likely cocaine 'cause venezuela don't send fentanyl to the US. the mere possibility o' cocaine shipments, as likely to be heading to europe as the US, became the justification for US murder on the high seas? believe it or not, one o' the few things trump is doing that americans approve of is the murder o' "narco-terrorists." an "unstable" and violent immigrant killing national guardsman on the streets o' dc is gonna make steven miller and trump efforts to end non european immigration and to possible expel non-white immigrants more or less likely? the only thing which surprises us is that it has taken this long for somebody to provide the excuse the wh has been looking for since they first sent troops to la in june. HA! Good Fun!
  24. I have been trying to finish the part of this quest where you enter negotiations on the ACS Undisputed Claim. My reputation with all factions is trusted or above, I do not have a bounty (I have checked several terminals on different planets) and I have spent a few hours on other planets to try to reset aggro. Unfortunately, when I travel to the ACS Undisputed Claim the NPCs and soldiers are hostile to me, I cannot even access the lift to try to enter negotiations because I get attacked. The only NPCs I have killed (on my first visit and been back multiple times) was the group of middle managers, this conflict couldnt be avoided. I went to Eden to mince about and tried to reset aggro and I noticed the Order forces in the camp on the bottom right in the map are also hostile to me. Any help would be appreciated, I have spent 50 hours on this game and would like to continue!!
  25. Making a chunky chicken/veggie/spinach soup - put some cubed wheel gouda cheese in it to melt for flavor, and a small amount of ham bits. Change of pace from my more typical flavors. Might've put in too much onion (well, for hubby's tastes) but spoon-tastes say I'll still like it just fine. Soup on a cold evening, then maybe another movie. Then maybe a couple hours of game in the wee hours. I do like my quiet life. Hope everyone (if applicable for your area) had a nice thankful holiday.
