It's winter and I have nothing better to do. Plus I'm pretty sure I have both more free time and more "ocd" factors. At the moment I'd give the game in its current form maybe a B or B+. I like aspects but there are still those super annoying things that get your goat, a little too often. So I try to focus on the things I like, until the game "forces" me to do otherwise. I've somehow finished 70ish "quests" (I use that term loosely) but there's oodles of them all over the map I've ignored and every new thing procs more. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of NPC-crafts by not doing some of them. I do like that there's no money/buying/selling. Just resource grind. Speaking of which, I spent a few hours trying to get the 40 of the one item I need to upgrade the altar again. After that time I have --- 37. And that's with the setting that I think increases amounts you loot a bit. >.> The "grind" is that you have to wait for enemies to respawn and ofc it's not a thing that spawns in numbers. It gets MMO old. EDIT: if game didn't have all those easy settings I can turn on/off at whim, I'd probably have irritation-quit.

For me I think abolishing ICE is the bare minimum at this point, and we've still got 3 years of more in store for us. Democrats really need to hammer home how horrible it is instead of capitulation to Trump on immigration. I think there is more than enough corruption to purge the US government of all Trump appointees, everything from the Supreme Court to a dog catcher. Not sure how feasible it is or if the political will is there, but the precedent has been set. Frankly, I think if Democrats win the presidency in 2028 it will just be Biden again where they just try to forget about it in the name of normalcy.

That will be fun to watch I guess, until they nuke the world out of spite or something.

I think any of that consequences thingy would really need some sort of civil war first. I really can't see any positive change to come to america within the next generation.

Ah yes, the standard fallback to being ignored online, extrapolating it to real life. It's not triggered at all - and no one claimed to be triggered, you said they were - to ignore someone either with your own means or provided ones. Doing your own is an excuse to script anyway, and is conflict resolution anyway. Do you hang out with trolls in real life? Also,you still think project 2025 wasn't worth minding during the election or are people loading guns in front of you never an issue until you're shot.

Correct. Come 2028, if we still have elections, the Democrat that runs on abolishing or at least completely firing and restarting all of ICE is very certainly to be the one that gets my vote in the primaries. Wiping out the brown-nosers in our federal agencies is going to be a requirement for functioning government after all of this.

I guess we've reached the stage of occupation forces murdering people in broad daylight in Trump 2.0. Someone from Minnesota, like @Bartimaeus I believe, may correct me on it, but this is apparently a 15 walk from where George Floyd was suffocated. Really ****ed up, ICE needs to be abolished and Nuremberg 2 should happen for ICE specifically but probably the whole US government. It was.

Its not the scripting thats cringe, its the fact you claim to be so triggered on an Internet Forum like this that you feel the need to use one This forum has rules and no one really gets insulted on a personal level or is allowed to make really offensive comments If you cant handle someones opinion on this forum you should learn conflict resolution because you wont cope in RL

Not a huge deal, but this US administration is all about fixing things that weren't a problem. I am guessing this plays with the vast number of retarded Americans that see membership in these bodies as kowtowing to the NWO or something.

Its funny you mention that because I have just had a debate disputing that framing of SA on Codex But I dont get triggered by those types of mischaracterizations, Im not emotional about it The reality is I have no issue with someone calling SA a ****hole country if they clarify what is there definition of a ****hole country and the reason must be true. Because then its there opinion and it must be consistent for other countries. In this case they were saying that because of "white genocide " and there is no white genocide in SA I dont consider SA a ****hole country but we do have serious problems. I wouldnt live here if I thought that

Like being triggered when someone calls RSA a **** hole. But a decent enough example of why someone would undertake the exercise, and scripting isn't arduous for some.

I've been working very hard to get a warning for my treatment of Bruce the past ten years - I'm not likely to give up now, am I? One of these days, I'll finally get there... Yes, it's true: I do not believe free will exists in any meaningful capacity, and so I must accept that BruceVC is simply the product of conditions and forces outside his control. Still have to call a spade a spade sometimes, though.

Bartie is such a drama queen, I remember years ago he wrote a script so he " didnt have to read my posts " Can you imagine being so triggered by someones posts on a forum you actually spend time creating a script The obvious or typical solution is just dont read the persons posts or ignore them, problem solved

Its the ole "I wont talk to him, Ill talk around him to still insult him" *kicks a rock*

GameSir Stuck a Steering Wheel Inside a Controller, and It's Actually Brilliant

Hi, I have updated the gun skill to 8, but when I want to select a perk it says that I need gun 2? How does this work

I've played through most of the game in TBM and minor threat didn't proc a single time initially i thought it was just bad luck but then i tested weapons with the coordinating effect and they are not giving the accuracy bonus as well so i think both are bugged since they work similarly. Adragans take multiple turns in a roll, this one is very consistent they just cast a bunch of spells instantly. Frost trolls get a free turn when they died and ressurect, not sure this one is a bug i kinda like tbh adds some spice to them that said i also had multiple trolls(normal and frost) getting 2-3 turns in a roll against me while attacking similar to the adragans but rarer. Enemies lose their stun/paralysis when hit by amplified wave, this one is not super consistent but sometimes they just snap out of the sunned/paralyzed animation and sure enough when their turns come they get to act even with these debuffs on. Sometimes when my barbarian takes multiple turns in a roll with that passive that negates recovery on kills the game doesn't end the turn properly and gets stuck forcing a reload. It would be great if the log had a tab for all the initiative calculations a lot of enemies cast spells very quickly(as in they only go down 2-3 spot in the queue) and it's difficult to say if they are bugged or not. It would also be nice to show the actual numbers instead of that low/average/high initiative in the UI.

How you guys doing with the protests? I see its all about latest pressure on the economy?

Poor Bruce.

I'm having this exact issue right now. It seems that there are specific bugs with Zora and Sanjar that don't let quests be completed or that make quests directly botch in Monarch, including the main quest. Someone else has had this issue?

Remembering all the times people were told that the US President wasn't really that powerful because of all the limitations in the US constitution so we didn't need to worry about Trump that much is almost enough to raise a smile. Until, of course, you remember it's actually deadly serious that suddenly all those limitations seem to have been thrown out the window. Maybe at least, maybe, having some balaclavaed brownshirt with a badge and a schlong that can only be detected under an electron microscope execute a woman on video may get a proper reaction since it was an actual factual american woman; but I don't think anyone will be holding their breath. Still, kudos to that mayor for telling Trump's off brand sturmabeitlung to eff off, and the non forum friendly version of the term too.

I guess Terra Invicta released version 1.0, so I might give it a whirl. I played it like 3 years ago, so who knows what it is like now.

Hah, I like how you were skeptical about the game a couple weeks ago, and now you are way further along than I am. My flame level in 3, I think. Maybe 4.

Enshrouded: I found the snow biome. Or rather, I found some edges of it. I guess I didn't notice before because I've been using double-jump, gliding, and a lot of pickaxing to reach places before the game wants you to, I think. So I'm often in tunnels, or it's night, or --- Anyway - I glided and then made a tunnel upwards in this one spot. I hit patches of snow and new granite/blocks (I can now build snowmen). At one flat cliff ledge some way up, I plopped a base-altar. Good thing, since about 60 more seconds of tunneling upwards through rock, I wtf dropped dead, apparently from cold. Tried again, paid more attention, saw the tiny "frost death imminent" timer bar this time. So I went sideways. Found another snowy ledge, but this one had a nice, empty, pre-built fancy stone house. So I put a base altar in there as a foothold. there was a path upwards. So I tried again, just walking. Worked for a while, then that bar showed up again and I had to rush back down. I think it's "altitude" based, not the actual snow. Guess I need frost protection. I have zero idea how to get it. My altar stage is still only lvl 5, that's probably some of it. Each altar level (for me so far) has at least one (shroud) material required that is so annoying to get, even with 25+minute shroud-time. Either because of grind or getting lost finding a POI area or a spawn area etc. Dangit, guess I gotta grind.
