Hello, I'm having a similar issue. The button to activate has disappeared. I have activated (and failed) once already.

keep in mind that the feds is playing fast and loose with the numbers just by using %. if we were informed that ice activity in residential neighborhoods had increased 13x since trump 2.0 began, you likely wouldn't be shocked. am not sure what the actual increase is, but is gonna be significant, yes? if ice activity has multiplied by a factor o' 13, then one would expect assaults to increase by at least the same amount... ignoring the fact the ice guys is now receiving half the training they did previous and am expecting the % o' rookie ice officers is now much higher than years past. https://x.com/KaivanShroff/status/2016024233160147376 also, Jury acquits LA County ICE protester of assaulting a federal officer Brayan Ramos-Brito was accused of assaulting a federal agent during a protest outside the Homeland Security Investigations building in Paramount. Initially, federal authorities charged him with a felony but reduced it to misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. During the two-day trial, U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino testified that he witnessed Ramos-Brito strike the agent with an open palm. Multiple videos showing Ramos-Brito were displayed during the trial, one of which showed a Border Patrol officer shoving Ramos-Brito during the June 7 protest. The other videos did not clearly show Ramos-Brito striking the agent. ... as a few people is aware, Gromnir ain't an all cops are bad honk. how many times have we identified that the cop job is not what many people believe it to be? cops ain't required to selfless sacrifice life and limb in protection o' ordinary citizens, and their pay and education means it is unfair to expect 'em to be superheroes in navy blue uniforms. that said, am also aware that most law enforcement am having been around is extreme loose with their definitions o' assault. any person who bumps or touches law enforcement is gonna be written up in the report as having possible committed assault, and then it is up to the prosecutor to charge or not. and DOJ vowed to punish those who disrupt Trump’s immigration crackdown. Dozens of cases have crumbled The federal agent described her wounds as “boo-boos.” Nevertheless, the Department of Justice aggressively pursued the alleged perpetrator. They jailed Sidney Lori Reid on a charge of felony assault, accusing her of injuring the agent during a July protest of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Washington, D.C. When grand jurors thrice declined to indict the 44-year-old on the felony, prosecutors tried her on a misdemeanor. Body camera footage played at trial revealed that Reid had not intentionally struck the agent. Instead, the agent had scratched her hand on a wall while assisting another agent who had shoved Reid and told her to “shut the f—- up” and “mind her own business.” It took jurors less than two hours to acquit the animal hospital worker. ... — Of the 100 people initially charged with felony assaults on federal agents, 55 saw their charges reduced to misdemeanors or dismissed outright. At least 23 pleaded guilty, most of them to reduced charges in deals with prosecutors that resulted in little or no jail time. More than 40% of the cases involved relatively minor misdemeanor charges, a figure that appears to undermine Trump’s claims that many of those accused are domestic terrorists. — All five defendants, including Reid, who went to trial so far were acquitted. — Prosecutors have successfully secured felony indictments against at least 58 people, some initially charged with misdemeanors. Those people have been accused of an assortment of assaults that include throwing rocks at federal vehicles, and punching or kicking officers. Those cases are awaiting trial. from a june 2025 post "btw, the government lies and misleads. a 413% increase in assault o' ice agents? why not say what were the assaults and how many were assaulted? notice the government didn't claim any ice agents were seriously injured yes? if a child grabs the sleeve o' an ice agent while the agent is arresting the child's parent, that counts as an assault. if a citizen husband attempts to embrace his undocumented wife while she is being arrested and he happens to touch an ice agent in the process, that is an assault. and btw, if there were a 500% increase in la ice arrests over the course o' the past week, then how much would you expect assaults on ice agents to increase over the same period if all other factors remained constant? of the 118 undocumented rounded up by ice at the time o' their press release, only five were gang members, and am gonna remind people that being a gang member is not in and of itself illegal. please note that a handful o' crimes committed by those apprehended by ice is listed, but nowhere does it mention how many people had criminal records. one? why not say the number of criminals unless it is a comical small number?" end tell us how many assaults has been successful prosecuted, 'cause at this point, nobody should believe dhs numbers. as to death threats... with what is going on, we wouldn't be surprised if there is a huge increase in threats to ice, but much like what ice calls an assault v. what a reasonable person identifies as an assault, am assuming ice is taking liberties with their tally o' death threats. seven-year-old watches as their mother is dragged away by ice and she grabs the sleeve o' an ice officer and screams, "go to hell." assault and a death threat, right? HA! Good Fun!

bsg fans are gonna need get their glass fix someplace other than the kennedy center... not that am so out o' touch we believe most bsg music aficionados is kennedy center season ticket holders. 'course the met is where you all hang, right? HA! Good Fun!

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.
