misunderstanding. as part of article 1, sec8 (clause 18?) powers, Congress has implied power and duty o' oversight and investigation... of the other branches o' government. take care clause of article 2, based on understanding of language in 1787, creates a duty/obligation on the part o' the President to see that laws passed by Congress is implemented and end enforced. ... and 'cause the current Court's embrace o' the unitary theory o' the executive authority is complete and extreme, it follows that the President is indeed the chief law enforcement officer o' the United States. Congress gets oversight and may investigate the executive in its law enforcement capacity, but other than impeachment and conviction, the ability o' Congress to interfere with considerable the discretion o' the President in matters o' law enforcement is largely limited to funding decisions. HA! Good Fun!

It will be interesting to see what they will keep from D:OS and D&D and what they will change.

And Canada too, I guess.

So war on China and Mexico then?

Sure, use the unwinnable drug "war" to justify an eternal state of emergency. Just what the POTUS wants.

In one of my games I accidentally stretch this initiative order list or whatever it is called. No i can't resize it. It covers the bottom right window now. screenshot attached

Fentanyl is a WMD now.

I used a new roundabout a while ago and almost flipped my car into a ditch. Whats up with those things?

Sure, it's more like 1 hit, lose health, get stunned, clip into boss/trap, lose more health, get hit again, die.

Oh comeon, I don't think I have encountered a single trap like that. Though I did spent most of the evening banging my head against Karmelita yesterday. To be fair, it's been a while since I played so I am a bit rusty, and my stick drift does muddy up my execution.

Or were the original Divinity games mere spin-offs or turn-based RPG Sven really wanted to make in the first place?

Original Sin are just spin-offs in the end. The main line is Divine Divinity -> Divinity 2: Ego Draconis/Flames of Vengeance -> Divinity 3? Beyond Divinity never happened.

The way it should work is the president should have no ability to literally phone the DOJ and say " you must prosecute this person " and this should apply to any president Prosecutions need to be decided on evidence and whats in the public interest if there are many potential cases because any DOJ will have limited resources Im sure this is how it works in most countries that have a separation of the judiciary from the state? You will still get criticism from the public because citizens have there own opinions around who should be prosecuted but that decision shouldnt come from the presidency

Don't know if I will ever finish the game. Unlike the first game, some of the choices in here really sucked the life(blood) out of me. But looks like the trailer is going to bring back that cut underwater area. There's probably just going to be more 1 hit 1 kill death traps and such in there. Not sure if I really want to.

Hi, I've been trying to play Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire on my PC but after playing once every few days it will start up and hang on a black screen after the Obsidian and Versus Evil cards. I've tried reinstalling, verifying files, changing the resolution, turning Vsync off, and installing the UK english language pack. Nothing works, but when googling this problem a solution is to try running on legacy mode Legacy Branch 3.7.0.1318 but I don't have that option on Steam. On betas I just have none and the public beta branch for upcoming betas. If there's a code to this version I'd love to get it because I finished a PoE 1 playthrough recently and I'd love to continue onto Deadfire.

I watched my alma mater, the UW, win their first men's soccer national championship today. Woo-hoo! It was a fun match. https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/soccer-men/d1/washington-holds-win-ot-thriller-3-2-against-nc-state-college-cup-final

I could see them simplifying the name if they're making turn-based RPGs their signature and just soft-reboot the naming scheme. The name Divinity: Original Sin is a bit of a mouthful otherwise. But it's also fully possible that gameplay might resemble Divinity 2 (third person new Witcher-like), or less likely, Divine Divinity (isometric Diablo-like). I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's got no chance of resembling Dragon Commander.

Yeah, that’s something that I found disappoint as well. I wish I could Hitman my way through this entire quest. I tout quite an effort to try to find a systemic solution but at least in Early Access scripting seem to always get in the way.

Just when I thought to myself “I should really wrap up Silksong” and spend an evening hunting some of the few remaining secrets and bosses.

Well, it’s not Original Sin3, so I assume it will not play like those. I didn’t play previous Divinity games but from what I understand they were actionRPG. I assumed this new divinity would also be somewhere under his umbrella, though I can’t begin to guess what could it look like.

They put in a few continuous flow intersections on the route I usually take to pick up my daughter from preschool/daycare. I know I'm dumb but I don't see how it's that much of an improvement, if it even is. There's now extra stop lights to allow for traffic to cross to the wrong side so now I stop a few blocks back instead of at the intersection. Progess!

Playing Pillar of Eternity 1 again since turn based came out. Would you change your starting Dex for turn based?
