Fire Punch had a wacky ending too, but it felt much better than this. This just feels like he got fed up and ended it. Especially with how suddenly the ending was announced. Ending Spoilers

Your idea is so amazing.

How can you not be a belligerent if you provide material support and bases of operation for a participant in a war? I would say that "auto includes" you in the list of belligerents.

Obviously if you at war with someone you could and would target there economy. Thats expected and not cowardly But thats not why Iran is attacking Gulf State oil fields or closing the Straits. They want to create pressure and chaos on the global economy and even countries that are not part of this war are impacted by that decision. The petrol price in South Africa is going up because of the Straits, Iran has no legal mandate to close an International Strait which Hormuz is. Why should South Africa be negatively effected because of this specific Iranian decision? I dont think they are the same , sanctions are a tool that countries can and do use for various reasons. Its typically used to get a government to change a policy or decision Its legitimate because any country can decide to sanction another country, you may think its unfair or selective but its not illegal The Straits of Hormuz are considered an International Strait similar to International Waters, no country can unilaterally or legally decide to block this type of waterway or attack ships that aren't directly involved in the war So its not legitimate what Iran is doing The ConversationHow the law of naval warfare applies to the Strait of HormuzIn the law of naval warfare, the line between belligerents and neutrals is not always an easy one to draw."Once there are armed hostilities between two (or more) states, the law of armed conflict – or international humanitarian law – applies. The law of naval warfare is part of the law of armed conflict. Some laws of naval warfare can be traced back to the Hague Conventions adopted at the start of the 20th century. Most commonly, states will rely on the 1994 San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea. Under the law of naval warfare, states are generally divided between belligerents (those engaged in armed hostilities) and neutrals (those not involved in the war). The line between belligerents and neutrals is not always an easy one to draw. In the Middle East, at a minimum, Iran, Israel and the US could be classified as belligerents. According to the San Remo Manual, ships flagged to neutral states, including their warships, may exercise their navigational rights under general international law through a belligerent’s strait. It is recommended that neutral warships give notice of their passage as a precautionary measure. A belligerent must not target neutral ships – they are not considered military objectives and must not be fired upon. During this conflict, Iran’s territorial sea (which includes the waters within the Strait of Hormuz) counts as an area of naval warfare. The belligerent states are legally required to have due regard for the legitimate rights and duties of neutral states in an international strait."

Many people are familiar with British humour. However, German humour, especially political satire, goes under the radar outside central Europe. Personally I find it brilliant (besides Das Heute Show, look up Volker Pispers political satire for something brutal, going back to the time before the first Iraq war)

Yes, that's not really a bug though but a unfortunate implementation of elemental keywords and immunities. The attacks of Frostseeker are keyworded as freeze attacks (no matter the damage type) and thus they also profit from all bonuses for freeze (power level bonuses from certain items and so on). On the other hand it also always triggers the immunity vs. freeze (no matter the damage type). So an alternative weapon such as Essence Interrupter (which doesn't have that problem because it's not keyworded with shock but just does pierce/shock dmg) is a good idea.

I've run some Cyberpunk benchmarks at 3440x1440 for a few minutes, and path tracing gets me 25-30 fps, maxed ray tracing without frame generation gets me 50 fps, with 2x frame generation goes up to 90-95, 4x goes over 200. No up scaling. Still planning on getting a new QD-OLED monitor in the summer.

Interesting offer there to drop all sanctions

Mmm, it's about as legitimate as Western sanctions on Iran, wouldn't you say? They are using the Straits as a strategic lever to influence negotiations, just as we do with sanctions on Iran.

This has convinced me to no longer follow the anime. That's just ****ing **** man

I FOUND A SOLUTION! It’s caused by a problem with autosave! I was having the same problem and noticed it was happening around the same time as me and my friends’ autosave. We all turned ours off and it stopped kicking me.

wouldn't the strike on iran gas field also cowardly by this delusional standard anyway there is no value continue this discussion the blatant insider trading have become very funny why try to build any industry when scam and gambling are so profitable

The Fun Pimps partnered with Behaviour Interactive (I guess they made Dead by Daylight?) Steam :: 7 Days to Die :: A New Chapter for The Fun Pimps...Survivors, We’re excited to share some big news. The Fun Pimps have officially joined Behaviour Interactive. 7 Days to Die started back in Thanksgiving 2012, when two brothers cooked up a game ideaMy opinion on this: RIP 7 Days to Die. At least for us "long timers." Maybe I'll be wrong but eh. I think my main concern is whether this means the eventual removal of the ability to play older alpha's at whim, or reducing modability. For me either (or both) of those things would likely = uninstall.

Key shops are staying off for me. My annoyance is that it often forgets that I only want to see PC games.

I had this issue with Frostseeker sometimes doing zero damage when enemies were immune to ice, not only zero damage from the lash but zero from the entire attack.

hhh I wouldn't even upgrade Crippling Strike. Arterial Strike's DoT is situational and doesn't generate focus. Yet you pay 1 ability point. I would simply use Crippling Strike as is. Imo it's also suboptimal to use focus for damaging spells (except Disintegrate bc. great raw damage and Amplified Wave because prone) - might as well keep attacking with a weapon and deal damage AND gain more focus. Focus should be used for buffs, debuffs and CC imo. Frostseeker is great for a Cipher, the AoE explosion generates focus, too. What is the weapon bug? Never had one with it. An excellent weapon for opening the fight is Kitchen Stove with the enchantment "Thunderous Report". It's a 1/encounter cone attack that does immense AoE damage and generates a lot of focus. Hand Mortar + Fire in the Hole are great, too. Hand Mortar has "Blinding Smoke" which distracts (in an AoE) and thus unlocks Deathblows in an AoE. Amira's Wing has an "AoE spell" enchantment that only works 1/encounter but works with Sneak Attack and Deathblows and does very high damage in a big AoE. Also generates a lot fo focus.

@Boeroer I usually don’t use any mods so I’m going to follow your advice and take out the talents that you found redundant or can be obtained by other methods as items and such. But now I almost don’t want any talent from the rogue side, but I still must take them on level up; so passives it is. I used to use arterial strike as an opener against melee opponents, but I dropped for some reason, I will give it another chance then. Penetrating visions I completely forgot that only work with damaging spells, I usually don’t take them because most cool ones target fortitude and the others that target other defenses are a bit meh. I also forgot that ciphers could buff allies so I’m taking Pain Block as you said. Slippery Mind I didn’t find useful since, maybe on occasion but if Ydwin is blooded or worse the combat is going bad. Do you recommend any ranged weapons? I used to use frostseeker but the weapon bug made me change to veilpiercer/essence interrupter.

Hormuz is conclusively Persian in origin already, and it's already the Persian Gulf so Trump might need to make another concession. Though one suspects Trump's idea of concessions would be offering to build Trump Tower Tehran. Really Bruce, even for you that's weaker than a homeopathic dilution drink. So the sole reason the US and Israel's attacks weren't cowardly was because they were not targeting Iran's economy explicitly? Well then, who bombed the Pars gas field first, Iran or Israel? Was that to cause economic chaos or not? The US and Israel definitely attacked a country weaker than them, without a declaration of war etc. But not cowardly because they didn't attack economic targets? Until they did, and most of Trump's rhetoric in the past week has been explicitly about economic/ civilian targets. Anyway, Iran's President has released a speech I'm sure everyone will appreciate.

Postscript: I'm definitely of the opinion that this is a game where one has to give it 10-20 hours before it starts to shine. You can judge two things in two hours: whether you're going to put up with/let yourself get used to the interface UI, and whether the way any story/chr stuff is done appeals to you. The rest is a slow burn. Combat gets more interesting, exploration gets more interesting, puzzles get more interesting - in a way, the 1st castle-region/starter area gives some bad impressions but get past that and there's a pretty good game. Not GOTY material tho. Unless continued and rapid patches turn that around.

**** me but the ending of Chainsaw Man is bad... Ending Part 2 was a mistake...

Crimson Desert - they patched it again. there's now a personal stash function, although it seems mixed with the auto-collect wayward-loot function (it's the same chest), plus some control changes, plus some boss nerfs I guess (some will like that, some won't). A lot of other small things. Kliff now no longer feels like a 3-ton brick - maybe now he's a 1-ton brick. It's still an improvement. Anyway, I'm around 20-25 hours now, although much of that time initially was wandering starter castle region to amass lots of food (your heal potions) and revive orbs (ability to immediately continue boss fights, with a bit of health, if you die), and upgrading weapons/armor where possible. Because I'm a wuss and figure I'll need extra. :P So far I'd call this a 7.5/10 game. Higher if you like the mechanics/environment, lower if you dislike them etc. ---Main questline goes in chapters, with multi-parts to each Chapter. Doing these quests is pretty important for the first 4-5 chapters to unlock stuff, including some crafts, stores, npcs. Don't have to if you don't want, but you won't be able to access/do everything you may wander into, otherwise. ---definitely a sandbox-action game, with RPG elements. The story cutscenes are there, but yeah. ---exploration and mechanics (outside of the crazy control UI) are good and yes it's very desnse vs. empty. But they ARE a lot of MMO or fetch or "go kill the bandits for me" stuff. A few sidequests are more than that, and MQ stuff can be more involved. --- the main process of improving gear is upgrading with crafters and resources. So your sword gets +1 or 2 per upgrade - do that often enough you can way outlevel current mobs. But it does take some resource-gathering time. If you don't upgrade your gear periodically and try to rely on randomly finding something better, you're likely gonna rapidly die to mobs/mini-bosses the farther from the starter-castle you go. Diablo/PoE/or even some more focused story-rpg type loot progress this is absolutely not. I'm having fun. It's kind of obsessive, but for me, not the "sleep, what's sleep" type of obsessive. It's more the load-save, 3-6 hrs blink by, then I feel like a 12+hr break. EDIT: oh - I have the particles effect at around 30-40%, which so far hasn't felt too busy/ostentatious etc. I think if you have it at 0, it starts to affect things like visibility of rain. EDITEDIT: weather sometimes affects resources found. Rainstorm - toads/salamanders and other such appear to collect, sunny, it's butterflies and insects, which have different purposes. Small stuff like that.
