^^ What is with some "default" program layout designers these days. What is that monstrosity for - touch screens? I guess you're supposed to be able to put some image over every forum sub-category? Ugh.

I want to get a couple things from the Huana: 1) the prince's equipment, and 2) the Apex Ward shield and I don't want to wait until the Final Maneuver. So a couple questions: 1) If I kill the Huana faction early in the game (before Hasongo), will it ruin things later? I just murdered all of Serpent's Crown to test and nothing immediately went haywire as far as I could tell. 2) If I decide I just want the Apex Ward, how can I lower their reputation enough that the ship appears but remain able to complete their faction quests? I have been intimidating their captains, but I get to -1 reputation and it freezes there. My reputation is at zero with the Huana on my save and I have not started any of their quests.

bought two 22oz bags o' the miss vickie's spicy dill pickle chips. am not certain how am gonna eat all the chips before they go stale. sell by date is april 21, and am s'posing we got at least a few weeks past that point for an unopened bag... maybe? ... they are good chips and costco doesn't carry 'em all the time, so... also, made a pork tenderloin crusted with crushed pecans and panko bread crumbs. we go light on brown sugar, but heavy on a creole seasoning mix as well as a fair bit o' sage. red onions and red pairs is also involved, but is relative simple as is most pork tenderloin recipes. am gonna have pork tenderloin for a while, but not near as long as the chips... and sadly, am not believing the chips would compliment the pork as am having prepared it... but y'know, we do have a dill, garlic-aioli and panko crust technique for pork tenderloin. am suspecting the chips would make a fine substitute/addition to panko. HA! Good Fun!

Hey @Lexx , Unfortunately this was a major jump from Invision Forums v4.7.23 to v5.0.14 that has a lot of theming changes. We put the change off for a year, but ultimately had to make the change due to security reasons. We will be tweaking the theming a bit over time until our front-end web developer has time to make some other changes for us as he is currently working on updates to the company websites. In the meantime if you run into any issues, definitely let me know and I'll see what I can do to help make this as easy of a change as possible. For now, I tweaked the header to shrink it down a tad more, but I can't shrink it any more without cutting off the notification number (when you have one). It's also as close to the minimum size as the system will let me make it 😅 Edit: Speaking of big and clunky, this is how the Forums were in v5 by default until I changed it to be as close to what we had as I could. Thanks for the feedback!

Why is everything so big and unreadable. I swear that header at the top of the forum gets bigger with every update. The whole forum top now takes up 50% of my screen height.

Chosen "forced" font at size 22 and minimum font size at 20 (custom FF setting) works for me. ;p It's what I've been using for a long time, ever since higher res. monitors and many sites/forums still using stuff like 12-14px font sizes.... What's going to take some getting used to is not having the user avatar/info sidebar. The post columns look strange, lol. EDIT: forum no longer seems to turn the any smilies text into icons, if you make a text smilie it pops up a list you can choose from, or not. Which is actually fine to me. These days I'd rather be able to use an actual :D instead of an icon, if I want.

No, I just haven't tried scrolling to the bottom and klicking on a crescent moon. Thanks @Gfted1 .

I have started after 7 years or so the 2nd part of the incomplete trilogy of Celestian Tales. Simple and easy going RPG, which unfortunately not sold enough to satisfy the new owner of the studio, so with high probability, the third part will never be released, which is a shame, as it is one of the rare Indonesian games. Anyway for now, the game is fine, with lot of dialogues, which are sometimes funny Only had one more challenging fight for now, but I started it on Normal Difficulty. For now the only thing which bothers me, is that the devs removed the Story Log, which was part of the first game, so I have to be sure to play it without bigger breaks, to not forget the plot 💽

Fed holds key interest rate steady as economic view improves am certain trump's response will be cogent and sober. HA! Good Fun!

had to take a civility oath as part o' yearly professional responsibilities... and dues. the oath is a new requirement for existing members. previous to 2026, only new applicants had to take the oath once it became a requirement in 2014, so we were exempt. “As... (stuff,) I will strive to conduct myself at all times with dignity, courtesy, and integrity.” that could be a problem. kidding, when acting in our professional capacity, am always showing courtesy and maintaining integrity. literal quit our best paying gig 'cause o' moral concerns even when a strict application o' ethics rules did not require. ... after some honest self reflection, "dignity" mighta' been an issue. lucky am retired. HA! Good Fun!

Many people are saying it's the perfect size and any bigger would be too much.

Everything is really, really white and I don't see no toggle for a different theme in my content settings. Halp?

yes you are. gosh, that's ez. the rest o' your response is just more o' your lies. will wait for new ones as revisiting your reflexive blixing is offering diminishing returns, but... you didn't bother to read, eh? it were an "or" option. again proving how obtuse you are. am agreeing it is a best approach to ignore zor, but until am seeing you tone down the reflexive and habitual fibbing, am gonna call it out when we see it. no doubt won't be a long wait. HA! Good Fun! ps fixed a curious edit faux pas

eu finish negotiating trade deal with india soon after mercusor deal obviously more out of desperation than any improvement of efficiency but cornered animal can be most determine and resourceful version of themself after last year of disappointment much more assurance are needed now

@Sarex I bumped it up a bit. How does it look now? I don't want to make it too large either 😅

Text is tiny.

Nope. I'm just not bothering to argue. As I said I wouldn't, from the outset. You got the context, and they were all taken from, to forestall yet another semantic dissimulation, the top of the informational pyramid of a news article, ie where the most important, easy to see and most frequently summarised information came from. You complained about not getting direct citations yet apparently you got enough information to find them and read them too. Your summary of their contents is, of course... interesting, but that's par for the course, in any case it's clear that your demand for citations was not from any genuine need for the information but just for a complaint (and make work, lest we forget you've linked a 2 hour video with 'just watch it' before, for similar effect). As I said: your argument shifted to It's all the Harvard Professor's fault! once it became obvious Russia wasn't going bankrupt and indeed, hasn't in 130+ months since. Point proven, methinks. lol, the poor unfortunate journalists, it's their eternal good fortune that Gromnir is on the case to defend them from vile calumny on the Obsidian forums. Of course, works a bit less well when you've just thrown a Harvard Professor under the bus to avoid admitting you were wrong. And when you've accused Trump's medical staff of effectively lying about his health to prop up your speculation about it. (Journalists had been wrong about Russia imminently invading for just about every year since 2022- that's the evidence. You don't get much credit nor benefit of the doubt for being correct, on the sixth(?) attempt. Indeed, I posted a rather long list (with cites) of them doing so. I've also posted a rather long list, with cites, of articles claiming Russia would be bankrupt in x months in 2014 to show a pattern there, the usual yellowcake/ WMD laundering from 2003 when you claimed no one lied over the lead up to that war and rather a lot of others. They are the reason I've come to the conclusion doing so with you is pointless and a waste of time) In the eternal words of the great philosopher Kylie Minogue Stock Aitken Waterman: I should be so lucky. Seems you're well, never gonna give me up. One might wonder why you bothered saying it as an option then, if you were so adamant about not doing it.

his health concerns no doubt take precedence. avoiding the aggravation is the path o' wisdom. and even w/o him positing, am certain he would recognize how trump 2.0 has been a nightmare for personal liberties, truth and human decency, but do you believe he would budge from his contention that biden was just as bad and kamala might have been worse? we would be shocked if he had given a fraction o' an inch on the they are all bad bit. the ostrich impersonation survived january six, trump being found liable for digital rape, criminal fraud conviction for his business and trump refusing to return nuclear secrets to the national archives, yes? that said, am genuine hopeful @Guard Dog is enjoying improved health... and wisconsin's -10 C temperatures as well as the ice fishing paradise that is lake winnebago in january. HA! Good Fun!

what is this nonsense new forum ui where is the dark mode how can one switch back to the old layout edit at the bottom of the page very intuitive

am surprised to admit the recent french troll efforts is clever and amusing and previous posted macron sporting the bidenesque aviator glasses deserves a bit o' a penalty, but am giving 'em a B+. HA! Good Fun!

Grounded 2 should add a giant leaf pile that has centipedes, earth centipedes, millipedes, and potato bugs. It should also have centipedes and millipedes inside the vegetable garden. I have a garden and there are always a bunch of these bugs around it. I think this could be a great addition and challenge to grounded 2. I hope you take it into consideration!

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20260128-us-embassy-angers-danish-veterans-by-removing-flags The US continues to be a troll state, I guess.

you are being obtuse. your conceit is that the listed quotes, sans context o' how they were used in stories (and purposeful failing to reveal that the stories were in fact ambivalent and equivocal regarding pahlavi influence... naughty,) revealed some kinda self-evident gestalt conclusion that the west were embiggening pahlavi. voicing your conclusion is not meaningful context... but this tragic rear-guard defense is sophistry... again. *chuckle* your after the fact ledes silliness were an effort to grant context to rando quotes by mere fact the unlinked and unattributed quotes were ledes. you spent multiple posts on that tangential idiocy to try and invent and invest context. am still trying to figure out how you thought (hook + essential facts) = (summary opinions,) but such was always irrelevant. 'course you not getting it, and purposeful deflecting is your mo. spent how many days plagued by you after the israeli attack o' iran 'cause you were doing strawman... you just couldn't accept that Gromnir were critical o' israel's excuses for attacking and so you ignored and lied about our arguments to further your anti-israel position... which were kinda insane as, again, Gromnir were criticizing the israeli rationale for attacking iran. just another example o' how what is said by Gromnir don't matter as you deflect, indulge in the sophistry, and flat out lie when confronted with inconvenient facts. is your modus operandi. compulsive. you just can't help self. we posted the position o' a harvard economist who claimed that if russia didn't take drastic measures, they were facing a currency collapse. economically, russia is a gas station with an army, so contrary to zor positions, sanctions can be devastating... which has always been part o' the problem. nobody wants a russian collapse, and pre 2021, nobody wanted russia desperate enough to do something zor thought were unthinkable, such as invading ukraine. is a difficult balancing effort when dealing with such a vulnerable economy. and you still don't get that it ain't about being wrong. many people were wrong about ukraine. what you did were impugn the character o' people involved in reporting about ukraine in spite o' a paucity o' evidence or support. cops in sheboygan and uvalde is no different than the journalists you smeared before the russian invasion. you arrived at a conclusion o' moral turpitude, and then stuck with it and lied about it even when evidence did become available. blix calling bush a liar was never true; you made it up. when you were final confronted with evidence o' blix stating bush were truthful about wmds, you doubled-down and pointed out that blix were a diplomat, functional calling blix the liar. am having been personal wrong many times. example: we thought trump were a smaller problem than many imagined in 2016. we pointed out that pretty much everything he were claiming he would do would require Congressional support he were unlikely to ever manage. we would like to go back to 2015 and give our self a good smack for our naivety. we did not foresee the scope o' trump danger... but we didn't suggest that those who saw trump as a transcendental threat were attacking trump for malicious reasons. so what? it ain't being wrong which is the problem. your reflexive character smears before it is possible to make a reasonable and informed conclusions is problematic. your routine misstating o' history, sources and facts is problematic. your lies is problematic. see, this is what you do. find where we said we had put you on ignore. "you are pathological. took a while for the locals to come around to the idea that attacking the character o' individuals before relevant facts has had been established all too often makes the accuser look like a fool in hindsight. that sorta behaviour happens less around these parts than it once did. am hopeful these continued exercises have a similar positive effect. most o' us take factual claims made by fellow posters at face value, 'cause who could be bothered to check every link and source, but zor is so utter incapable o' intellectual honesty that it is good practice to search every source and verify every quote... or just ignore you." you are the one clown am not gonna ignore anytime soon. even expressed our admitted wishful thinking that others begin verifying yourr source and fact checking when dealing with zor. why would we ignore you when you have provided us with multiple opportunities respond to and illuminate your misrepresentations since only the middle o' last year, and that is with us being in absentia for weeks and even a month at a time. we offered advice on how boardies should deal with you. ignore is indeed best, at least until you stop lying reflexive. converse, check all your claimed sources and experts. doveryay, no proveryay bad advice when dealing with zor. don't trust.
