No, you'd have to kill him unfortunately.

Carney rolls his eyes at US Treasury secretary, telling Trump he meant what he said at Davos Carney rolled his eyes and rejected U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s contention to Fox News that he aggressively walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum during a phone call with Trump on Monday. “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos,” Carney said to reporters as he arrived for a Cabinet meeting in the capital, Ottawa. “Canada was the first country to understand the change in U.S. trade policy that he initiated, and we’re responding to that. ” HA! Good Fun!

I long ago stopped trying to filter out the truth from DJTs constant lie streaming; it's too time consuming and isn't really helpful. At least with most politicians you CAN filter out the political garbage from the facts. But DJT wraps himself in a thick cloak of lies, so your advice isn't really that helpful. I can't trust him to do the right thing, even though very occasionally he does (when it serves his purposes).

Thanks, Boeroer. To clarify, this is a no-rest run with BB. I’ve noticed that my wound uptime is pretty bad — I’m constantly running out of them. Belranga keeps paralyzing me, and I don’t have dex immunity. I’m running Scordeo + Tuotilo, Ajamuut’s Cloak, Hylea’s - usuall stuff. A few uses of WotW, some summons, and I’m already out of wounds, so I can’t keep spamming WotW and summons. And then I can’t withstand Belranga’s or Huani’s hits. When I used to play a Hellwalker together with a party, wound generation felt much easier. I’m probably missing some technique. Also, can I get Eder’s armor without killing him?

Have you spoken to Vicar Levin? I think that this is an important part of the quest, and the issue tracker says that this has been resolved (that is, if you don't speak to him, it borks up the quest), but I've seen several people having similar issues and I'm wondering if it *hasn't* been fixed, or if the patch only works for certain platforms.

Im about 400 hours into Skyrim\LoreRim and its time for another exciting update Im on level 67 and as I have previously mentioned slowing down XP gains is the best way to experience the hundreds of quests and force yourself to explore. It really makes you an active participant in everything LoreRim creates and provides There are too many events and developments to cover them all so I will just focus on the main things I have been playing the DLC with the main quest but completing quests at different stages and I have completed Dragonborn. I really enjoyed the whole Morrowind integration and Solstheim is a nice place to explore. I did make one " mistake ", I got to the final battle with Miraak without learning the Dragonrend shout. After being utterly defeated in minutes about 5 times I discovered you suppose to use Dragonrend to defeat his 2 dragons or he will basically restore himself twice which means you need to defeat him 3 times Just trying to defeat him once was almost impossible so I did what I hate doing and used Console Cheats to give myself endless Health and Stamina. I defeated him and took his very powerful Mask and Robes. The Mask seems overpowered and gives you 25 health regen/second so I only use it rarely even though its a legitimate item. I like the challenge and reward of strategy in tough battles and an item like this used with blocking means you can often be at full health in most battles I still have to defeat Vahlok a very powerful Dragon Priest on Solstheim, I tried and failed after defeating Miraak and I dont want to cheat to defeat Vahlok I have 5 companions but I only use 2 at a time unless its a very hard battle. I have Auri, Remeil, Katana, Gore and Serana. Each of them has unique side quests and different personalities but overall Serana is my favorite...I dont think I can Romance her so Im disappointed I have now joined all factions and Im in charge of the Mages and Thieves Guild after completing there main quests. I still do quests for the Dark Brotherhood, Companions and Bards guild The Companions have offered to make me a Werewolf which Im uncertain about and the Dark Brotherhood wants me to assassinate the Emperor which I doubt I will do even though I have progressed this quest As far as the main quest is concerned I have fought Alduin once and now Im busy with side quests around this and I decided to align with the Stormcloaks in the Civil War Im plodding along with Dawnguard and I have completed the Soul Cairn and found both Elder Scrolls you need and I now need to use moths to read them. I really like Dawnguard, the interaction and history of Serana is compelling Its feels like Im getting to the end of the overall game, Im probably about 120 hours away from that?

+ 1 pongan multijugador local mi hijo quiere juegarlo pero es demasiado pequeño para comprender las misiones al 100 % y siempre me pide jugar con el pero con una sola xbox nos es imposible

+ 1 para esta petición, por favor no creo que un juego que tiene desarrollado el multijugador online sea muy complicado hacerlo multijugador en pantalla dividida, espero que lo tengan en cuenta para una actualización temprana

Mohora Tanga is my favorite monk Swift Flurry/HBD weapon, but the Red Flag Flying self-proc explodes stacks and kills games. I am working on a mod that will prevent the infinite loop behavior and avoid these crashes while still essentially allowing Mohora Tanga to function as it does currently. I am still working on a fix for holding Mohora Tanga in the main hand - it is substantially better with this mod, and I haven't crashed my game yet while testing it, but there is still extreme lag. Currently, however, this mod completely fixes the crashes that can be experienced by holding the spear in your off hand (my preferred format) by limiting Red Flag Flying's self-procs to 50 at which point the ability is removed and immediately replaced, breaking the infinite loop. I will post this on the Nexus once I can get the main hand behavior reliably limited, but for anyone who wants to use Mohora Tanga with your monk today, here is the mod. RedFlagFlyingSafetyValve.zip

Hello, welcome and thank you! Same

Offensive Parry from the Whispers of the Endless Paths does drain health with a Steel Garrote. Iirc Riposte does, too.

Its a good assessment and he covers much of the sequence of events and outcomes from Trumps rhetoric and comments around Greenland. I still think people jump to certain unnecessary levels of panic and drama around what Trump might do but the article specifically mentions this as well when he says things like "Donald Trump was threatening military invasion. That was quite clear. He was talking about it, and said "we can't rule it out." It came in the context of what happened in Venezuela." "Denmark showed that they would be ready to fight this out. It's afterwards come out that the Danish soldiers in Greenland actually did have orders to use lethal force against an American invasion. That's the level we were at. They had the ammunition and were prepared for any such things. It was not considered likely that this would happen. But if it did, the orders were there about how they should behave." I often encourage people to try to learn to filter the difference between what Trump is serious about and what is just driven by SM drama and outrage and how Trump loves to trigger the media and get them angry. Because this creates a distraction from other real political issues he is facing domestically like the Epstein files But in this case EU leaders were taking the threat of invasion as a possibility so there response was real. Of course Trump was never going to invade Greenland but it doesn't matter Good link overall

https://gamerant.com/gdc-2026-ice-concerns-us-safety-fears-dev-comments/ "Multiple European and Canadian executives told MobileGamer.biz they are reducing headcount for this year's edition of the event, with some even skipping the show altogether. Several cited escalating U.S. immigration enforcement and related safety concerns as one of the reasons for scaling back or canceling their attendance."

Long time lurker here. For whatever reason still playing this game in current year - thankfully with some great mods like Elric's which dramatically improve the balance and experience of the game. I just got finished up with my latest run, using BPM + Community Patch and All Upscaling (Upwards only). Used the following party (Note that I used mods to change the character classes and attributes around so that I could effectively have a full custom party without missing dialogue) Me: Crusader (Devoted / Bleakwalker) Eder: Crusader (Devoted / Bleakwalker) Xoti: SC Beguiler Custom Char: SC Priest of Wael Tekehu: SC Skald The party was the most effective of any that I had ever done. The two crusaders used a Greatsword + Morningstar (Willbreaker w/ Modal always on) and were the primary front-liners. Once past the early game, they would have enough engagement slots and survivability to survive nearly anything. Triumph of the crusaders (Strong AOE for ~100+ seconds + full heal on kill) made it so the action economy of the priest was incredible. Almost zero reason to ever use healing spells other than in emergencies. The crusaders would use the Acc + Crit auras and the Heal/Armor ones. Because the Acc aura doesn't fully stack with the acc stance, I would make both of them use the upgraded cleaving stance. This would obliterate packs with FoD spam, hitting 200+ regularly on the greatsword character. The Skald would usually open with an empowered Eld Nary or summoned weapons w/ the unique sabre and then switch back to using a pike w/ the deflection reduction modal. The beguiler was incredibly strong and almost never needed to attack. The debuffs from the willbreaker (usually -10 or more Will + -25 fort), the Ngati Tusk w/ Hunter of Hunter, and nearly every affliction under the sun would debuff the enemies to the point where almost any skill would land and have a high crit rate. I think I killed the Magran Teeth dragon in under 20 seconds because the party just did so much damage (Eld Nary carrying big time). Maybe mortar monk does more damage, but this party has been the strongest in the 10+ variations of potd upscaled runs I had done. Haven't tried megabosses yet but I will soon Not sure why I made this post, but just wanted to give a big shoutout to Boerer, Thelee, and Elric for all the useful posts, mod contributions, etc. After playing so many different CRPGs over the years I just really appreciate how good the systems and depth are in deadfire. Rogue Trader, BG3, DOS2, are all great games but none of them have had me constantly lurking forums like a madman quite like deadfire has.

some noteworthy support for your position. trump is most impacted by the bond market, and am not thinking the minneapolis situation will have too much o' a direct market influence unless protesters across the country do some kinda extended boycott/work walkout... or if a few more white US citizens get murdered? that said, this is all newish kinda territory for an old dog like ourselves, and so it is possible that if polls look bad enough (needs to include republican defections) and fox coverage becomes more critical o' the administration, trump may claim that all the violent illegal immigrant felons (not that dhs is primarily targeting violent felons,) has already been arrested and so there is no more need for ice and border patrol activities in minneapolis. declare "mission accomplished." regardless, is increasing signs via fox interviews and wsj opinion pieces which suggest that kristi noem might be the administration's sacrificial lamb... maybe. everything trump related maximizes the chaos, so am constant hedging. HA! Good Fun!

Hauani can merge back up into bigger oozes?? I've literally never seen this. Gross! Another good monk strategy for Hauani is Fire in the Hole (main), Mohora Tanga (off hand), WotW, and a source of Avenging Storm (scroll, Heaven's Cacophony) - you can sometimes one-shot with such a build if you can get some bonus accuracy and hit-to-crit, or lower its fortitude and deflection. I think only the first blob has resistance to might afflictions, so you can stun the lesser blobs if you use WotW with the stalking cloak. This can also work against Belranga to bounce mortar shots and WotW off the spiders, but her defenses are a good deal higher and the results aren't usually as spectacular until you kill a lot of the spiders and lower her defenses (though this happens quickly with this setup). On the other hand, I don't think she has any resistances, so you can sometimes get a lucky roll with one of the many attack rolls you will be making with WotW and stun her if wearing stalking cloak, even early in the fight.

VirtuaVerse was good, bit tricky I found, but was an interesting setting and the art and music is good (latter is personal taste, I like keygen music). Still find it funny the saviours (sort of) of humanity are basically a Scene group called "The Blade", no numbers at the end though.

am arguing with a five-year old. and it's understandable you didn't ask for cites to the 60 links, 'cause we didn't quote 'em (duh) and 'cause the population we produced is not gonna be fixed but necessarily changes by the minute as new stories is written. we did link to the singular pahlavi stories which we found in our initial search. would be pointless to cite all sixty non-relevant stories, but if you do an iran + protest search and achieve better results, results that do not undermine your ridiculous pahlavi embiggening contention, we would like to see such. if pahlavi is murdered tomorrow, maybe that happens, but it didn't happen for the past near two weeks, even when tv stations were shut down in his name and he held a news conference... though am suspecting you did such a search and realize the truth o' what am claiming. we already pointed out that a message board don't have same rigorous standards, but the sources for your quote list undermined your conclusion rather than supporting it. grammarly, your link for the complete tangential and irrelevant issue o' ledes, explains why it is essential to link and attribute quotes, and that reasoning applies just as much here as it does to a primary school class assignment or a journal article. rando quotes, unattributed and unlinked, is not particular persuasive, but in zor's greasy fingers, they is downright fraudulent. so why not tell us about western media efforts to embiggen pahlavi. invent more lies to cover the old ones and hope for some new deflection to avoid your original blunder o' posting, sans links and attributions, rando quotes from stories which when read undermine your position that western media were seeking to embiggen pahlavi. ... we used to think you werean ordinary board troll who spoke outta ignorance. took us a while to realize you are pathological deceptive. heck, you even make up nonsense about how ledes is "summary opinions?" why? it's taken time, but with each one o' these ridiculous confrontations, am suspecting more people realize just how frequent you invent positions from experts who actual said the opposite, or purposeful misrepresent quoted material or story conclusions. each o' the last half dozen conflicts has revealed your penchant for fibbery on a wide range o' subject matter. you are pathological. took a while for the locals to come around to the idea that attacking the character o' individuals before relevant facts has had been established all too often makes the accuser look like a fool in hindsight. that sorta behaviour happens less around these parts than it once did. am hopeful these continued exercises have a similar positive effect. most o' us take factual claims made by fellow posters at face value, 'cause who could be bothered to check every link and source, but zor is so utter incapable o' intellectual honesty that it is good practice to search every source and verify every quote... or just ignore you. HA! Good Fun!

Well, he certainly ain't alone in that. I'd even give some grudging respect for the strategy, since it's effectively zero risk and will only antagonise Canada and others who already hate him. It's a bit eight year old (hah I told you to keep breathing and you did) but... that's Trump and always has been. You're still wrong, but at least it ain't a dissertation where one word would have sufficed. You certainly weren't getting away from the accusations of throwing words at the screen in the hope the other person gives up previous. I mean lol. You're certainly correct that this isn't an academic discussion, except in the respect that you're getting schooled hoooooooo I_just_ended_his_whole_career.gif There's only one reason you want 'academic vigour' here: because it gives you something to complain about. You've already said the transcription of the quotes was accurate (dispute with the bbc one accepted, but it was an accurate quote) and we're talking newspaper articles- hence the grammerly quote- and forum posts, not PNAS/ Science/ Nature. In any case, the correct method for identifying a replicable trend is to give how you found it, not cite the individual data points. I don't ask you to cite the 60 or whatever articles that you said didn't have Pahlavi in them, after all. If I could be bothered I could check myself.

C'est une théorie vraiment solide ! Si le personnage est contrôlé par le système O.R.C., ça aurait du sens que seule sa famille proche puisse réellement atteindre l'essence de qui il est. Sa femme, en particulier, serait la personne idéale pour comprendre ses recherches et son passé, ce qui en ferait une alliée cruciale pour briser le contrôle. Le coffre enterré dans la casino Nine semble être un secret destiné à quelqu'un de proche — peut-être un indice pour elle ou les enfants pour résoudre ce mystère. Il y a clairement une grosse intrigue en cours dans le jeu ! Quant à savoir qui va affronter le système O.R.C., je pense que la femme pourrait être celle qui prend l'initiative. Si elle connaît suffisamment bien son mari et son passé, elle aurait une longueur d’avance pour comprendre comment le défaire. Mais, d’un autre côté, les enfants pourraient aussi jouer un rôle important. Si l’un d’eux a un lien plus direct avec le système, ou une capacité spéciale que leurs parents ignorent, ça pourrait être eux qui s’élèvent pour confronter ce contrôle. Tu penses que l’un des enfants pourrait avoir une capacité cachée, ou la femme va-t-elle être la clé de tout ça ?
