Then I assume Lightning Strikes is better in that case. Lashes do generate Focus.

what about the 100 percent tariff usa threaten to put on canada maybe it will be implemented in 1 week maybe it will be walk back maybe most would forget this happened in 1 week

I don't think so, not in the sense that Trump will not sacrifice Noem, but in the sense that he'd back down. This is what Magats want, to see "blue" cities and states conquered by Trump's paramilitary (****, you can scratch off the para) and occupied to bring them in line. The killings of "antifa supersoldier domestic terrorists" is an intrinsic part of this, not an unfortunate accident, and if you look at what the magats are saying to each other they do view this as part of "taking the country back". Trump and the Republicans are almost certain to get bulldozed in the midterms, but you have to keep in mind that Trump is a dementia-addled omegaboomer who consumes almost exclusively Fox News and Truth Social posts so he probably thinks this is the most popular thing in the history of our country. To boot, whoever is in the room at any given time is effectively the president and that seems to mostly be Stephen Miller.

They don't generate focus Stalker's patience very good for souldblade/monk with that extra attacks.

This was for grounded 2 MB

I built a giant tower and then connecting zip lines all around the map to it, it broke and fell when my file got corrupted :_<

1. A way to send buggies out to get resources with the risk of them becoming incapacitated or die if that setting is on 2. a pebblet gun T1 then higher for better ammo 3. Flies, and maybe a horsefly boss 4. A quick transportation system like the tubes but we build them

Nobody with experience would take the job. However I am sure Trump would be willing to sacrifice Noem and then call it a resounding victory, then pull back ICE to try and regain a bit of public support going into the midterms.

PS: Swift Flurry/HBD procs do not generate wounds for a Shattered Pillar. I always forget if they generate focus for a Cipher. I believe not, but I'm again not sure anymore. Blame my reluctance to play Soul Whip Ciphers I guess.

Steel Garrote only drains health from direct damage attacks, not DoTs. Red Flag Flying does no direct damage so no draining. I would have thought that the Swift Flurry attacks however would drain health. If they do not: I learned something new. The order in which attacks appear in the combat log is not necessarily the order in which the attacks are processed internally. Not really. The phrase generation of a Skald is +1 phrase max(!) per attack action or "swing" - no matter how many attack rolls happen during that action. So even if you do 25 crits with Red Flag Flying + Swift Flurry/HBD you will only get +1 phrase point. However: since the Skald only gets a phrase point in 50% of crits, this setup makes pretty sure you get a phrase point every time you crit (and a crit chain follows). That's cool - but not insane. The good thing about the Skald is though: with Killers Froze Stiff you get a really nice paralyze effect (enhanced by the Monk's INT) which causes 25% hit to crit conversion on the enemy (not on you). This not only helps to generate more weapons crits in general but also is one of the few ways to convert a graze to a crit: If your character has graze to hit conversion there's a chance to convert a graze to a hit, but even if that character also has hit to crit: that won't get checked during the same roll where you initially grazed - because only one conversion type of your character is ever checked within one attack resolution. But if the hit to crit conversion is on the enemy this will get checked even if your char already had a conversion check. So the attack can go from char[graze->hit]->enemy[hit->crit] -> ouch! Not game breaking but a nice little detail. Killers Froze Stiff + Ben Fidel's Neck is a pretty good debuffing cycle for Swift Flurry procs if you can generate phrases quickly enough. Note that the most costly invocation determines your max phrase point counter. It makes sense to pick one very costly invocation even if you don't want to ever use it. Just to expand your phrase point maximum.

I get the sense that ICE has rapidly ramped up their personnel, bringing in people who are inadequately trained, inexperienced, and trigger happy. The (ICE) can't fix this problem in the short term, so more citizens are going to die and the administration will continue to emit evil lies in the face of clear evidence. Impeaching Noem to force her resignation would be a start; bring in somebody who actually has experience in domestic security in urban areas, rather than a lying politician from rural South Dakota.

I hate going to our Costco, its a friggin jungle in there. Even the parking lot is a jungle. I just use the app and have everything delivered. Its free and Im not in any hurry so it works out for me. Although I do miss out on my hotdog and drink.

One Battle After Another Meh, it was alright and Penn put in a good performance. My wife fell asleep almost immediately and it felt a little too long for me.

That’s a solid theory! If the character's being controlled by the O.R.C. system, it makes sense that only close family could get through to him. His wife, especially, would be the one to know his research and past, making her a key player in breaking through the control. The chest buried in the feels like a secret meant for someone close to him—maybe it’s a clue for her or the kids to figure things out. Sounds like you're unraveling a deep plot in the game! Do you think the wife will be the one to challenge the O.R.C. system, or are the kids more likely to take that role?

Interesting take on why the old rapist president probably stepped down from the Greenland threats: https://www.logicofwar.com/why-trump-retreated-on-greenland/

Honestly, that sounds amazing. A flat world option would be perfect for creative players. Starting from nothing and shaping the yard yourself would add so much replay value. Building anthills and controlling water flow feels very on theme for Grounded. Rideable frogs would be chaotic in the best way. Woolly aphids and color-variant ladybugs would make the world feel more alive. Wolf spiders carrying babies would be terrifying, but also kind of brilliant. And a lizard boss just makes sense as a late-game threat. That mix of sandbox freedom and creepy nature detail is exactly why people love the series.

They added a cat to Against The Storm with one of the updates. But with the rain setting, it is a shark cat

If you're wondering why I cannot be bothered arguing with you, this is the reason. Happens every time. It's obvious to anyone that isn't being willfully obtuse that you've decided to take that, well, out of context, as a single line. Big difference, in this case it's as a deliberate effort to obfuscate. To remind you, and far more effort than you deserve: This was the post I made immediately beforehand, and which you took issue with. The context of the list is establishing a pattern, the quotes were taken from what every source agrees is where the authors' 'important facts' (/opinions) are located and thus establish that. All you have done is suggest I do things that actually would be stupid. Like do a general search- iran + protests, lest we forget- for establishing a pattern about a specific person. Literally the only reason you want me to do that is because it would be stupid and let you 'win'. Firefighter, extinguish thine own pants. Literal lol. No, merely getting coverage doesn't mean he's getting embiggened. It's the disproportionately positive coverage that shows the embiggening. Hence the quotes you've spent the past week objecting to. Sheesh man. If you're wondering why I cannot be bothered expending any actual effort on you, this is the reason. Happens every time. (for extra lol, the al jazeera article I originally linked to did mention a bunch of other Iranian opposition figures. ho hum)

Boom! Got it! Took me several approaches, but now I have tight, reliable control over the max number of self-procs Red Flag Flying can do. This is 10 max, time to do some testing at 100 and see what happens.

It’d be cool ( maybe easy) to add a feature to the stuffed bugs, vases, candles and armor dummies to change the size smaller. ( size of picture frame for example) 1. It allows for more customization options for tables , windows, shelves, and furniture.( I.e setting up “war plans” with smaller bugs and armor sets on tables) 2. The stuffed bugs are too big to really use for deco. (Imagine being able to use small stuffed butterfly on corners and furniture in your house) 3. It’s not asking for new content it’s simply giving more options for customization using items already in game. (Chess board full on smaller armor dummies or bugs/ candle lit room with different sized candles.) Honorable mentions: 1. Marble variants for stuffed bugs 2. Founders pack outfits allowed on armor dummies for extra founder pack buyer swag. ( kind of like the shelf customization option)

Also allow the founders pack outfits to be put on the armor dummies for extra swag..

Quartzite or marble upgrades for the stuffed bugs would be cool too (marble mostly haha)
