Hopefully the Macbook Neo becomes the kick in the ass Microslop needs to steer back from the cliff they insist going over. News coming out from them is positive, let's see the follow through.

The Avowed skill tree is organised into the core classes of Warrior, Rogue and Mage. It retains the free allocation system from the rulebook, giving players a wide range of options for how their hybrid classes might look. Rather than a Paladin being strictly based on specific warrior skills and specific mage skills, the player has the choice. Accordingly, the hybrid classes exist as they can be played in the gameplay. But they can be shaped as the player sees fit for their character. How does a Cleric or Paladin with their ‘domain’ function in the role of the Envoy? The Envoy begins with their affiliation to the Aedyr Throne. And their task, which is part of the main plot. How would a Bleak Walker or Kind Wayfarers fit in? Various dialogues would need to be altered, including skills. A Woadica Paladin would work fine in some contexts, but restricting the Paladin class to that role feels limiting.

Whatever cookie policy gg.deals uses is probably the same one used by the Obsidian forums. 🤐

Look mom, it didn't explode! 😀 I don't know why, but somehow I imagine the end of the world being, not going out with a bang, but the wooshing sound of a plunger in a kitchen sink.

Fire Punch had a wacky ending too, but it felt much better than this. This just feels like he got fed up and ended it. Especially with how suddenly the ending was announced. Ending Spoilers

Your idea is so amazing.

How can you not be a belligerent if you provide material support and bases of operation for a participant in a war? I would say that "auto includes" you in the list of belligerents.

Obviously if you at war with someone you could and would target there economy. Thats expected and not cowardly But thats not why Iran is attacking Gulf State oil fields or closing the Straits. They want to create pressure and chaos on the global economy and even countries that are not part of this war are impacted by that decision. The petrol price in South Africa is going up because of the Straits, Iran has no legal mandate to close an International Strait which Hormuz is. Why should South Africa be negatively effected because of this specific Iranian decision? I dont think they are the same , sanctions are a tool that countries can and do use for various reasons. Its typically used to get a government to change a policy or decision Its legitimate because any country can decide to sanction another country, you may think its unfair or selective but its not illegal The Straits of Hormuz are considered an International Strait similar to International Waters, no country can unilaterally or legally decide to block this type of waterway or attack ships that aren't directly involved in the war So its not legitimate what Iran is doing The ConversationHow the law of naval warfare applies to the Strait of HormuzIn the law of naval warfare, the line between belligerents and neutrals is not always an easy one to draw."Once there are armed hostilities between two (or more) states, the law of armed conflict – or international humanitarian law – applies. The law of naval warfare is part of the law of armed conflict. Some laws of naval warfare can be traced back to the Hague Conventions adopted at the start of the 20th century. Most commonly, states will rely on the 1994 San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea. Under the law of naval warfare, states are generally divided between belligerents (those engaged in armed hostilities) and neutrals (those not involved in the war). The line between belligerents and neutrals is not always an easy one to draw. In the Middle East, at a minimum, Iran, Israel and the US could be classified as belligerents. According to the San Remo Manual, ships flagged to neutral states, including their warships, may exercise their navigational rights under general international law through a belligerent’s strait. It is recommended that neutral warships give notice of their passage as a precautionary measure. A belligerent must not target neutral ships – they are not considered military objectives and must not be fired upon. During this conflict, Iran’s territorial sea (which includes the waters within the Strait of Hormuz) counts as an area of naval warfare. The belligerent states are legally required to have due regard for the legitimate rights and duties of neutral states in an international strait."

Many people are familiar with British humour. However, German humour, especially political satire, goes under the radar outside central Europe. Personally I find it brilliant (besides Das Heute Show, look up Volker Pispers political satire for something brutal, going back to the time before the first Iraq war)

Yes, that's not really a bug though but a unfortunate implementation of elemental keywords and immunities. The attacks of Frostseeker are keyworded as freeze attacks (no matter the damage type) and thus they also profit from all bonuses for freeze (power level bonuses from certain items and so on). On the other hand it also always triggers the immunity vs. freeze (no matter the damage type). So an alternative weapon such as Essence Interrupter (which doesn't have that problem because it's not keyworded with shock but just does pierce/shock dmg) is a good idea.

I've run some Cyberpunk benchmarks at 3440x1440 for a few minutes, and path tracing gets me 25-30 fps, maxed ray tracing without frame generation gets me 50 fps, with 2x frame generation goes up to 90-95, 4x goes over 200. No up scaling. Still planning on getting a new QD-OLED monitor in the summer.

Interesting offer there to drop all sanctions

Greetings Envoys! Today we are releasing Patch 2.1 for Avowed with the latest bug fixes and a community requested feature! Community Requested Feature:In the previous update, we implemented 3 encounters in each region that would respawn enemy units. We’ve added a toggle in the settings menu to disable respawning enemies. Go to Settings > Gameplay > Combat > Check Toggle Bug FixesFixed an issue causing the player to get stuck leaning to the right during third person mode. Fixed a crash when engaging in combat with a Skeleton Barbarian. Fixed a crash when starting Photo Mode near a Xaurip Elder. Fixed an issue where companions would not look at the Envoy during inter-region party camp conversations. Fixed an issue where switching loadouts would remove the cooldown reduction of grimoire abilities when casting from the hot bar. Abilities from the grimoire and hotkey bar now properly separate their cooldown depending on which way they were used. Fixed issue where frame limits were incorrectly disabled when DLSS-FG was enabled. Fixed issue where XeSS Frame Generation did not work properly. Fixed the "Browse Photos" option not being functional in Photo Mode. Fixed an issue where certain decals would fail to display until game was reloaded.

Fixed an issue where game settings were shared between accounts on the same device on PlayStation 5.

Mmm, it's about as legitimate as Western sanctions on Iran, wouldn't you say? They are using the Straits as a strategic lever to influence negotiations, just as we do with sanctions on Iran.

This has convinced me to no longer follow the anime. That's just ****ing **** man

I FOUND A SOLUTION! It’s caused by a problem with autosave! I was having the same problem and noticed it was happening around the same time as me and my friends’ autosave. We all turned ours off and it stopped kicking me.

wouldn't the strike on iran gas field also cowardly by this delusional standard anyway there is no value continue this discussion the blatant insider trading have become very funny why try to build any industry when scam and gambling are so profitable

The Fun Pimps partnered with Behaviour Interactive (I guess they made Dead by Daylight?) Steam :: 7 Days to Die :: A New Chapter for The Fun Pimps...Survivors, We’re excited to share some big news. The Fun Pimps have officially joined Behaviour Interactive. 7 Days to Die started back in Thanksgiving 2012, when two brothers cooked up a game ideaMy opinion on this: RIP 7 Days to Die. At least for us "long timers." Maybe I'll be wrong but eh. I think my main concern is whether this means the eventual removal of the ability to play older alpha's at whim, or reducing modability. For me either (or both) of those things would likely = uninstall.

Key shops are staying off for me. My annoyance is that it often forgets that I only want to see PC games.

I had this issue with Frostseeker sometimes doing zero damage when enemies were immune to ice, not only zero damage from the lash but zero from the entire attack.

hhh I wouldn't even upgrade Crippling Strike. Arterial Strike's DoT is situational and doesn't generate focus. Yet you pay 1 ability point. I would simply use Crippling Strike as is. Imo it's also suboptimal to use focus for damaging spells (except Disintegrate bc. great raw damage and Amplified Wave because prone) - might as well keep attacking with a weapon and deal damage AND gain more focus. Focus should be used for buffs, debuffs and CC imo. Frostseeker is great for a Cipher, the AoE explosion generates focus, too. What is the weapon bug? Never had one with it. An excellent weapon for opening the fight is Kitchen Stove with the enchantment "Thunderous Report". It's a 1/encounter cone attack that does immense AoE damage and generates a lot of focus. Hand Mortar + Fire in the Hole are great, too. Hand Mortar has "Blinding Smoke" which distracts (in an AoE) and thus unlocks Deathblows in an AoE. Amira's Wing has an "AoE spell" enchantment that only works 1/encounter but works with Sneak Attack and Deathblows and does very high damage in a big AoE. Also generates a lot fo focus.
