All that nonsense simply because Britain decided to reinforce Gibraltar instead of keeping up the blockade of Brest.

The guy wasn't really a foriegn actor. He spent 10 years working for the CIA. This administration loves to point fingers at other people, but this is our problem and the CIA is the responsible party for turning him into an unstable individual. It's the same thing with us trying to deport people who have lived in this country since they were children. If they have turned to crime or gangs, the fault lies with the US, not some foriegn country they might have lived in for a couple years. This administration is afraid of accountability.

Hey everyone Just wanted to say I’m really enjoying The Outer Worlds so far. The writing and humor feel classic Obsidian, and the companion characters are surprisingly fun to travel with. Still early in my playthrough, but I’m already hooked by the choices and consequences system. Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is playing it.

That type of logic almost comes straight out of Mein Kampf. But Trump is a master of massive overreaction, using the best available pretext to justify his policies. I'm not even clear this is terrorism, since the National Guard is normally armed. I.e. not civilians. He is the President who deployed the military to the streets of Washington D.C., turning them into easy targets of opportunity for foreign actors.

Enemies seem to freeze randomly during combat, which prevents them from moving at all. This same bug can happen to the players characters as well. The only fix I have seen so far is to shutdown the game and reload the last save.

maybe mascot president of usa just watched jamestown

uk just tried everything to not tax the rich most have expected labour to be pathetic but not to this degree

Tried watching a few episodes of the modern Quantum Leap show. It was ok, but had little of the charm of the original, at least in those early episodes. Not that I was a huge Quantum Leap fan but I like the original's first season or two. Netflix recently acquired (or reacquired) several of my fave k-romedies from 10-15 (more or less) years ago, trucks of doom, amnesia, life in danger and other old tropes and for a couple of the older ones, cheap cinematography/extra soapy feeling, included. Which is awesome because I can nostalgia rewatch/skim through them this winter. Sidenote: kdrama "huge forehead covering" male haircuts back then were hilarious, sometimes.

Finished Broken Sword 5 (meh, Nostalgia bait). Replaying Pentiment -- Obsidian's game for the Christmas season you don't even realize is Obsidian's game for the Christmas season until you play it. Damn shame that the subforums here have like a handful of threads at best. Then again, Pentiment ain't a game for everyone. But as a wise dev once said: "A game for everyone is a game for no one." *

The way and the reasoning how and why Trump implemented tariffs was always a risk It was also unprecedented even though it had some "logic " behind it Trump used the fact that the US has a trade deficit with most countries as a reason to justify these sweeping tariffs which was the first time I can recall any government implementing tariffs for that reason As you mentioned tariffs are typically about sectors or one type of goods like steel. And the reason the US has a trade deficit with most countries is because it has the strongest consumer driven economy in the world so its an organic outcome because of overall strength of the US economy. So Trump and his advisors on this decided " its not fair " and we must tariff these countries. Having a trade deficit with a country is not automatically a bad thing because you need to understand the overall reasons and sometimes its by design, for example if you import oil you would typically find you have a trade deficit as opposed to surplus with oil producing countries which would be expected And then if you going to mass tariff whole countries then you must have alternative markets for these goods of you will see price increases and inflation rising But for me the tariffs based on Trumps reasoning didnt make sense and now we seeing the negative outcome. You see he has reversed certain tariffs on goods

Fuzzy Zoeller.

couldn't even buy older cheaper hardware last checked everyone are forced to feed the monstrous appetite of nvidia

My Sis has been dealing with chronic pain (CRPS) for a while now. Recently she had a spinal cord stimulator surgically implanted, and the results have been exceptional. As long as she keeps it charged up, she is nearly free of pain. It's had a most wonderful effect. Science rocks.

I accidentally wandered into and completely solved Unorthodox Notion Reclusion before ever meeting Marisol’s contact at Reason’s pass. Once I got to the final room and turned off the defenses, her and a lady from Auntie’s choice rushed in and said a bunch of stuff I kind of understood (lol yeah i did the mission out of order, I should be lost). I went ahead and burned up only the Cataclysm research after talking with them and now the journal entry is stuck on “Enter Unorthodox Notion Reclusion at Winter’s Grasp”. I didn’t realize this until I had already gone through three other quests over about 3-4 hours so I REALLY don’t want to go back and reload.

Every time I see "news" re: PC parts/prices "panics" etc, I pat my PC and compliment it, to encourage it keep running for, oh, say, 5 more years. It's not even the money, for me - it's becoming principle/disgruntlement. Also, my old tablet is still going like a champ, hope it works for another 8 years. I seriously use it more than the desktop for browsing/youtube etc. Makes me happy I'm no longer generally interested in any of the big name new titles. I'll also be keeping an eye on where that Steam machine goes. Could be a decent solution for ppl like me, in another generation or three. Wouldn't be my ideal solution but I'd probably like it a lot more than a PS/Xbox, the way things are going. Also - it's cloudy and cool and I'm just going to stay in bed all afternoon. Also also - current hubby back treatments did zip.

Yes, this needs to be reworked. In turn based disengagement attacks happen often when closing the distance to the enemies, granting them free attacks when being engaged. So it does the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

The feminism nonsense is being forced in all media now. It's tedious.

8 out of 10 for potential? What about what it is now if they stop updating it?

Know exactly what you mean, 36 now with a kid. Basically only play games to entertain him these days.

I'm stuck at a similar point. When I go back to Abbot, I've told him about a message from him to a conspirator of Seer Wiley, and it just leaves the conversation.

Fair point. I forgot this game even came out!

Just in case the title isn't clear enough my saves are not accessible for my Xbox profile for some reason. I am really curious how can a company fall so far that even a save games system is out of their reach. Why don't you just use something that works? Like Steam Cloud. I am trying, really hard, to play this game and I can not because my saves keep disappearing. Now, I know you are now owned by Microsoft, and therefore do not care about poor us people that buy your games but you do realize this is the last Obsidian I will ever buy not matter what, right? Even if my saves are fixed this very second. I will never forgive you for this, at my age (I ain't telling) gaming time is precious and if I have to spend time trying to access my save, sorry, got better things to do than to play your game. Bye bye and thanks for all the fish.
