^ I miss the BBCode, I remember when it went away. This is not an "issue" but I'm curious why I am seeing a micro icon of my user avatar doubled up over some topic titles, stacked under the "topic created by" avatar icon to the left. First I thought it was a "you made the last post in this thread" but that isn't consistent. Then I thought "you recently viewed this thread" but that doesn't feel consistent either. Then I thought "you made a post in here, even if it was six months ago", but that didn't work either, since it doesn't always appear on topic titles I know I've responded to at least once.

This Expedition is confined on a single planet vs. the usual get in ship and planet-hopping. Basically, you're a trash collector, using/upgrading the land vehicle almost no one uses with truckbeds, bulldozers. Doesn't sound very interesting. The gravity gun MT add might be fun if you could pick up and toss fauna with it - because I'm weird like that - but I suspect it'll be limited to only "trash" piece collection. Feels like yet another Light No Fire testbed - but this one is making me wonder what LNF expects the huge co-op town communities to be doing. Community garbage collection to keep the town clean and safe from flying mount dragon poop? Which leads me into - are all the flying mounts in games = mega-sized seagull/pigeons?

Damn, it's sad.

I'm wondering how that guy (Epstein) managed to process millions of e-mails yet still leave an apparently "active" life. I think in my entire career in IT I had far fewer e-mails; maybe on the order of 1-200,000. The entire H. Clinton controversy was over 30,000 e-mails.

Been enjoying what the game has to offer especially the new candy wizard armors, and trinkets its opened up the possibilities of the "whittle wizard" or mage class quite a bit and I am excited for the future However I noticed that while fighting a few of the newer foes the charged attack of the staff does break the enemies guard but does not explode into a puddle of goo everytime and then the bug I am fighting just goes back and guards some more, the weapon is too slow to act on the brief window I am given to hit to bug and do damage, either the bug in question would have to be stunned after I break the guard or the puddle would have to be guaranteed no matter how high the bug is to make the staff more useful I had an idea to add a single handed type of magic weapon in response to my failings and thought I would share it, this way you could have another type of weapon that uses the shields and it would be a quicker and lower damage magic weapon, these "candy wands" could be all about single target rather then wide aoe attacks, for example the charged attack could fire a candy beam that does 3 or 4 hits of damage that way even if the bug guards the beam will still hit them I hope you accept as I would love to see what kind of funky designs you pull off with "candy wands"

A way to craft sturdy quartzite since it is a limited resource that doesn't respawn.

I think I heard Ro Khanna, a US congressman who has been going into the archives to look at the unredacted files, claim that at least 90% of it remains unreleased or redacted. And if that's true and given how much dirt the edited 10% we got is....then man the rest of it is going to be insane.

I dunno, news organisations going against the orthodoxy, advocating for abandoning Ukraine, advocating for action to stop the Palestinian genocide. We have already seen organisations designated as terrorist, who are but any sane definition definitely not that. the kids would grow up smarter without rotting their brains with American aligned social media, but we can't have censorship, it's too dangerous to let it in.

If even Boebert is swaying against the pedophiles now, things must be really bad.

Sure, I'm not recommending Psion for a melee weapon user either (I mean if the intention is to actually attack with the melee weapon and not only use it as stat stick). Beguiler is perfect for this I think. Good luck and lots of joy with the character! A pleasure! 🤗

bro i have this error too but i dont know what to do...

discord are getting destroyed too there is no escaping this disaster soon

I was thinking about this some more whilst in the office yesterday (what, you expect me to think about work? Nonsense!) and if it weren't for the Psion's anti-synergy with melee I'd probably prefer them as a subsclass to other Ciphers. I'm not inherently wedded to the idea of generating Focus via Soul Whip, but I do strongly associate Ciphers with the idea of a martial/caster hybrid, so the Psion's Focus mechanic feels like too much of a liability. With the Community Patch I'm guessing a Psion/Trickster could be viable in melee at higher levels: +50 Deflection with Borrowed Instincts and Mirrored Image makes being receiving a Crit quite unlikely. Anyway, will be starting my Beguiler/Trickster tonight, and looking forward to it. Thanks again Boeroer.

To be a fly on the wall when @Bartimaeus saw the kiss scene. At this point I think Chainsaw Man is a victim of its own success, the second part of the manga has been very underwhelming for me. Fire Punch seems like an overall better story, but we shall see. It looks to be like Chainsaw Man is ending soon so maybe the buildup is worth it and the ending surprises me.

I was unaware that in 2002 Putin said Ukraine had the sovereign right to join NATO because of a security decision. That really changes the argument that " Russia had to invade Ukraine because it wanted to join NATO"

Damn, the news that Erik Prince was abducted seems to be fake.

Thats definitely a concern and something I wasn't aware of I am very interested in how this unfolds, if you could post examples as time goes on of what sites get banned for " dangerous ideas" or other similar things that would be helpful I can see the anxiety because words like " dangerous ideas" are very subjective and open to abuse depending on the government and its ideological views I found this link specifically around how Denmark has implemented age verification, Im not sure how accurate it is but its similar to other countries Denmark To Set 15-Year Minimum Age for Social Media UseDenmark becomes the first EU country to set a 15-year minimum age for social media, aiming to protect youth well-being and regulate harmful online exposure. So basically "Under the agreement, individuals under 15 years old will be prohibited from self-registering on designated platforms. Children aged 13 and 14 may access social media only if a parent or guardian permits them. Complementing the age rule, the agreement includes measures to tighten digital “gate-keeping”: monitoring offensive content, preventing aggressive marketing to minors, and limiting the use of children in advertising. In practical terms, enforcement will lean on Denmark’s advanced digital infrastructure. The government plans to use its national electronic ID system and create or require age-verification tools for online platforms. In case of rules being violated, the regulated social platform may face liability for non-compliance with age checks up to 6% of its yearly turnover across the globe, as provided in the EU Digital Services Act (DSA)." So it all seems at the moment to be targeting under 16 only but I understand your concern because it can be extended to now include adults and websites government decides are problematic Personally I dont support any type of ID age verification for children or adults because of how it has to be implemented, its too invasive when you have to use your actual ID. I realized I actually dont normally give my ID but just my date of birth which is fine I think parents should be more involved and deciding what there kids can or cant see and I dont think the state should enforce these types of measures. But I also understand why we at this point, we have heard endless stories over the last 10 years of the negative impact SM has had on many kids so now governments are acting but they going about it in a way that is getting understandable criticism for the reasons we have discussed

Yes and you have mentioned you play GW2 and how entertaining it still is which is why I tagged you. Thats rare nowadays for most MMO . I really wanted to play Elder Scrolls Online because I bought it on Steam but I have heard many negative views about it because they made all these changes that have alienated many of the original fans But I love the lore and IP of Elder Scrolls so if I was going to play any MMO I was hoping ESO would be that choice

Chainsaw Man, season 1 and the Reze movie. Now...I know what you're thinking. Bartimaeus...Chainsaw Man...shounen action? Yes, it's difficult to believe... Why would Bartimaeus subject himself to Chainsaw Man? The answer is actually surprisingly simple: I was forced to watch this at proverbial gunpoint. Chainsaw Man is...very important to somebody I know, they have very strong feelings and emotions about the show, and it was basically a "hey, you can either sit down with me and give this an honest to god shot, or...you can find out what will happen to you if you don't" sort of situation. So...did I like Chainsaw Man? Well, funny, that's just what this person asked right after we finished watching the movie, except they phrased it more like, "So you like Chainsaw Man, right? And you're not going to say yes just because it's me and I happen to be tapping my fingers on this dangerous unseen metal object behind my back, right?". Um... So in short, yes, I really liked Chainsaw Man, it's probably the best show I've seen in the past ten years. T.O.R.T.U.R.E.

Encontrei um bug que tá me atrapalhando em viagens rapidas que é em uma escotilha para a árvore de limão galego, você quebra ela com uma bomba ai abre a escotilha, mas quando fiz isso ela abriu, mas depois de um certo tempo ela fechou e não abriu mais. Gostaria que me respondessem sobre isso

"As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Vance is going to be President in a couple of months, isn't he.

More advanced/complex ideas: Buildable/repairable drones to assist in defence around the entrance (like the Tayz.T robots) Buggy garages (behind caved-in areas or busted doors?) to ride in or out Repairable network equipment that makes O.R.C bugs go berserk, or makes them behave like normal insects of their kind or something (like an EMP just for base defence, with a cooldown on usage) Advanced tracking system that can show nearby bugs through terrain when using your Peep.R, or tracks one bug type on the map or something
