New Year’s Eve Concerts at Kennedy Center Are Canceled Richard Grenell, the Kennedy Center’s chairman, said in a statement on Monday night that the artists canceling shows were “far-left political activists” and that they had been booked by previous leadership. “Boycotting the arts to show you support the arts is a form of derangement syndrome,” he said. After Mr. Redd canceled the Christmas Eve concert, Mr. Grenell called it “classic intolerance” and threatened a $1 million lawsuit. HA! Good Fun!

It is said, that GOG in 2025 had a very positive year considering the revenue, although 2024 was pretty bad. That being said, going private might be a good step for them, as a lot of original older GOG customers, have heavily criticized some of the newer service changes based on the corporate decisions of their Mother company. Some of the even completely left the service (ergo the 2024 financial results of GOG).

There are three viable paladin builds for solo: paladin/troubadour, paladin/blood mage and paladin/forbidden fist (technically the priest works too, but any class works with the priest and the paladin isn't the optimal choice). There are no specific builds because they follow some simple principles - stack defenses, armor and healing. For the herald you can also see the solo videos on YT for items/stats/abilities/skills. The paladin comes with increased passive defenses (Faith and Conviction), armor and healing (Exalted Endurance, Stoic Steel), while the other class adds more healing and especially pets (which combined with Bardatto's Luxury ability will add basically another 2AR). Some key items are Magnera's Chain (which allows to achieve high resists against all damage types on top of for/will buffs), Lethandria's Devotion (main shield giving more healing and defenses), Wintertide Bulwark (backup shield used for the deflection buff which stays the entire fight even when you switch to another shield), Cadhu Scalth (backup shield used for increased deflection, damage reduction and modal). For weapons - Bardatto's Luxury, Modwyr and Animancer's Energy Blade. Another key element to these builds is stacking resting bonuses. For example, the herald can achieve over 170 in all defenses, 19+AR and heal 40+hp every 3s, which makes him virtually unkillable.

Yes. I assume it does some behind-scenes autosaving but you cannot manually save, outside of exiting/reloading. Flame altars are your base markers. They also function as FT waypoints, and when you exit game, it will load you into the last/closest flame altar you were at. Thus people make sure to always have one flame altar available they can still build, so they can temp-use for those purposes. You can't place them inside some dungeons or in "the shroud" (I think), but you can place them at/near POI's/mines etc you want to revisit. How many total flame altars you can place in the world depends on upgrading the altar - I'm up to 7, I think the max is 10. With general POI's, you can place altars so base area covers the POi and turn it into your base. Redesign a broken down castle or farmhouse, stuff like that. Or just anywhere you want. The base stops things from respawning within its area.

#####-Kennedy Center says it plans to sue jazz musician who canceled Christmas performance over ##### name change Yeah, because we all know how much a legal threat encourages the arts. Perhaps Mr. Redd could follow Marshawn Lynch's example, "I'm just here so I don't get fined."

Doing a melee stealth build and trying to ignore the utter silliness of stealth attacks with a sledgehammer. Was hoping to get online fully with a light melee weapon. So i took Vital Striker, which seems to be at least somewhat competitive. Then i found the 'menacing mask' item. I think "oh, cool. Another 10% of my sneak damage when i'm stuck out in the open." Nope. The way it seems to work is that if you equip menacing mask, you ONLY get that 10% sneak damage and the game completely ignores vital striker. Shouldn't this add on rather than replace? Though 10% is such a trivial amount of a boost it's not a huge deal to simply not use menacing mask. Sad that there's yet another worthless item in this game.

Just a tongue in cheek joke that the rebels didn't count.

Isn't Enshrouded one of those games where you cannot save the game anytime anywhere?

Playing BG3 in small spurts. Exploring the first map and getting ready to go to the goblin fort. The game hasn't grabbed me so far, but the combat is not tedious in TB.

7 Days to Die - well I like the re-added smell system, although it's overtuned so I had to alter it a bit. The rest is kinda - well, it's still what it is. I've heard they're considering a semi-return to LBD - not fully but a combo + books. I didn't like their LBD back when. Not sure if I like the sound of that. Oh well, I can just play 1.0-b333 forever if I want. Enshrouded - I did cure myself of that curse, and then promptly disabled Curses in the options. I noticed that option when I started the game, but I just thought it would dictate whether enemy casters would do normal debuff spells all the time or rarely. Turning it off after being cursed only half worked - the visuals of it and mana regen not working remained (could be a bug). Anyway -- some other comments: ----I've come to the conclusion this is the kind of game where you cannot unlock all crafting/building options etc until you've basically .... finished the game. The questing/biome discoveries aspect anyway. So if one is looking for sandboxy in that sense, you'll be playing for 60-80-100+ hours before that truly kicks in. Unless there's rush method guides, which I don't "do" on first-runs. ----quite often a quest marker (NPC wants something, to unlock something etc) had me going in circles for an hour or more around that marker, trying to find the "way in." Blocked my castles, blocked by cliffs/valleys, blocked by "deadly shroud" I'm not of a level to travel through yet. I'm sure there's some lone ez path in but I apparently could never find it. Frustrating. ----turned off weapon/mining gear durability because the decay rate is ridiculous - at least early-middle - re: mining or longer dungeons etc. even with repair stations scattered around. Apparently there are eventually repair kits, but guess what, I don't have that ability yet. Shocker. I did loot one in what seems to be a "plains/grass" biome. ----I hear they may plan for a Creative Mode for full release. Maybe I should wait until then. I'm an odd duck sometimes tho, where the more frustrated a game makes me, the more stubborn I become. I mean, there ARE things I like a lot about Enshrouded. I think. Heh.

Arcane Archer/Ascendant with Frostseeker/Essence Interrupter is very fun and versatile. Pale elf mystic of course with bear pet bodyguard... Once you can use scrolls of Avenging Storm and Imbue:Eora you will feel almost like cheating. If you equip a companion with items with "Reflect against Spells" (Mirrorback, Collar of Eothas' Light, Cabalist's Gambeson) you can also reflect Ancestor's Memory on yourself if you repeatedly cast it on him. For companions Eder, Aloth, Pallegina and Xoti are solid choices.

so silver will be restricted soon it really look more and more like 1840

Essence Interrupter of course - for the shock damage and the range mostly. Amaliorra or Eccea Arcane Blaster are also viable but require a penetration buff and you have to be closer to Dorudugan...

I have a similar problem. What seems to be happening is I can create and run shared worlds but once started, I am not allowed to access them again. My friend is able to see them. We appear to have been able to narrow the problem down to the Microsoft. I have tried playing my copy on different hardware and networks. I even connected my account through my friends setup, the one that doesn't have his problem. When I use my account on his system, he cannot access shared worlds any more.

I appear to be having a similar issue. None of my shared world would appear. A friend and I appear to have narrowed it down to cloud saves not being accessible. I used to be able to create and share worlds but I think I have hit my max of three. So I cannot make any new shared worlds. I believe I can even access my invisible shared worlds if I try to create a new shared world with the same name as one of my three. It is as if my XBox account is able to send but, not receive. We are not sure how to fix this. I went into services to make sure certain programs are running. I even logged into my friends setup. He isn't having this problem and my problem persists.

Is it a single player world? You are saying "we", which sounds like multiplayer.

I have had a similar problem. A friend and I have narrowed it down to the cloud saves not being accessible for me. It is like I can send stuff out but, it won't come back. The problem is we have not figured out a fix for it. In attempts to debug this I appear to have maxed out the number of three shared worlds I can host. My friend is able to see and access them but I am not able to access them.

I think that's a combined (rough) estimate. How Many Died in the American Civil War? 2% of the population; the deadliest war in US history.

Yep, still broken on PS5. I was looking forward to finishing the game after a couple months, but I guess I'm shelving it still. Maybe they'll fix it someday or I'll feel like replaying from the beginning someday.

Because in terms of game mechanics, Bloodmage is generally the superior subclass over any other (and vanilla). A non-subclass Wizard has the only advantage that he/she could use Empower and has a little better basic sturdyness. Both is not relevant for this build. A Bloodmage can replenish spell casts as often as he/she likes (and if there's enough healing). This is relevant for this build since - once there's enough stacks of recovery bonus - you can spam spells a lot faster. Later you want to cast Wall of Draining in combo with a heal over time asap - and also as often as necessary.

https://www.gog.com/blog/gog-is-getting-acquired-by-its-original-co-founder-what-it-means-for-you/ Might not be all that indicative of anything, though.

I'm guessing you mean Essence Interrupter, but why? Simply for the shock damage?
