  1. Today
  2. Last night I saw a lot of lightning for several hours, but heard no thunder. (no local rain) Tonight it's a lot of thunder with no visible lightning. (no local rain)
  3. Was wondering if Sandman/2 was worth watching. I might try it soon. Kdrama - Castaway Diva ---image and description made me think light silly rom-com. the first extra-long episode was a melodrama tearjerker re: the setting up the young teen (14-16?) past of two characters. The rest followed predictable melodrama+comedy but was overall decent for the kdrama genre, even with the typical last few episode fall off kdramas tend to have. But that first episode was a showcase for the two young actors playing the adults-as-children roles. Lee Re and especially Moon Woo-jin - gonna have to see where they are/what they're doing in 5+ years. I've become slightly "annoyed" (since it further fractures access to k-content and I don't want to sub to disney+, heh) that Disney seems to be trying to attract kdrama audiences now (I guess the sub service started in S. Korea a few years ago?). A couple of their Disney+ exclusive series I might be interested in. Moon Woo-jin plays a villain in one of them (Unmasked, maybe he's in one episode, dunno) and I'm super curious to see if he does as well with another role - reviews indicate he does. Plus it has a couple other main cast people that I like a lot. *grits teeth* Maybe I will finally do the sub for one month thing just to watch them.
  4. so itch.io are dead any replacement yet remember dashingdon was replaced pretty quick
  5. Playing Dune awakening. It's pretty fun so far. I would dread having to start over though, because the start really limits what you can do. Also I could see it getting pretty repetitive. The atmosphere is great. Trying to make it through a stretch of desert as a worm is closing in on you is very immersive. Not sure how popular the game is because I have yet to run into anyone... just abandoned outposts.
  6. Yesterday
  7. Some far-right group pressured Steam and Itch.io into removing content by lobbying the payment processors. I'd guess that it was not so much due to those particular a*holes, but because of the general political situation in the US.

  8. Hey, Kvellen just noticed your post. Sorry to intrude, just have a quick question. I'm planning to use quite a few of your mods in my first PoE2 playthrough. Haven't started yet. Was wondering if there's any general rules or guidelines I need to be aware of in regards to the load priority in order to avoid conflicts and/or errors. I started a thread on this forum, only because I couldn't find one on google. Any reply would be greatly appreciated
  9. Well meant Foxconn as in their promises of investment that turned out to be much less impressive, actually. Heh.
  10. Yea, I think I'm in for quite a bit of trial and error with this. Which as I said, is fine and I'm looking forward to because when it's 'your' game and your installation, it kind of forces you test things and understand the ins and outs, which gives you more insight on the way these game engines compile things and how the mods interact. Thanks for replying.
  11. .character files are used by the game to load premade characters into the game. The file is pretty much a .zip file of a sort. Anything that can open those (7zip for example) can open it. It contains these 3 things: "gui" folder - matches the folder structure of the portraits folders, contains the 4 images that make up the character's portrait. a .objsav file - Basically a snap shot of the character object. I think... "manfest.json" - A json file containing information on the character. Not sure of anywhere except .savegame files (which can also be opened in the same way described above), where .objsav files are use. And sadly not aware of any program that can open them. Which is a shame, as depending on what they actually contain there would likely be interesting applications if they could be modified. External character generators for example. Otherwise the "manfest" file can be opened in any text editor. It's use seems the be primarily to populate the information seen in character creation or recruitment screen at an inn. As well as when uploading the character to the Steam Workshop. This is my best guess for what each property of the file is is (??? = Unknown): "Version": 1, - ??? "Name": "", - The name of this character. "InstanceID": "", - The GUID for the instance of this character game object. This matches the name of the .objsav file. "Stats": {}, - The respective attribute scores of this character before any race and culture modifiers. "Subrace": "", - The GUID for the subrace of this character. "Gender": 0, - The gender of the character. 0 = male, 1 = female. "CharacterLevel": 1, - level the character is when they are exported. "Classes": [], - The GUID\s of the class/classes the character has. "SmallPortrait": "", - Directory of the small "_sm" portrait used by this character. "LargePortrait": "", - Directory of the large "_lg" portrait used by this character. "IsFromCheatGame": false, - Whether "IRoll20s" was used to activate cheats in the game this character was exported from. "ContentType": 1, - ??? "SteamItemID": 0, - Likely the "Author": null, - name of the author. "DefaultVisibility": 0 - ???
  12. US car manufactures don't make their cars fully in US, where Japanese manufactures don't rely on imported parts usually and as Trump had great idea to put higher than 15% tariffs for countries where US manufactures buy their parts than. So end result is peculiar situation where US car manufactures suffer from higher tariffs than Japanese manufactures and when this is combined with fact that US manufactures need pay more their workers than Japanese manufactures, Trump has succeeded to increase price of US manufactured cars more than Japanese manufactured cars. US new car sellers are the ones that suffer most of these changes because they need to cut their profits in order to keep people by cars from them. EDIT: So these trade deal as things are now looks like one that will just increase US trade deficit with Japan and increase amount of taxes that US people pay for their cars.
  13. Yeah, but for every Foxconn there are dozens of US businesses that are hurt by Tariffs. It's going to be a two-way street, and in the end it's a gamble how it will all turn out. They also destabilize the market, reducing incentives to invest in the short term, and make the US less competitive.
  14. Sandman. They took some liberties I don't think they should have, but overall a good series.
  15. No, even if you stack also warrior stance, superior deflection and so on, unless you actually keep yourself far from the fight (going far from rest of the party) but the best option could be a potion of invisibility or something like it. Without going away from fight, a wizard/monk with self buffs should have better odds than a brawler in earning wounds IMHO.
  16. Oh, ok, I don't have many experience with mod since BG1 times (yes, about 1999 ) and I back in the mod "mood" just with PoE2 I don't know how Skyrim or other game mods work, but I have taken a glance and tried some nexus and steam mods and I can say that it is all about the developer of the mod. You can find mod which really change a little bit of the game (i.e. one or two weapons or equip) and put only a little file for the mod with quite no "dispruption" for other mods, and the SAME mod can be done changing a big unique whole file which will conflicts with every other mod that touch weapons or equip. So, I doubt you can find any guide or whatever about mod loading and priority because it should mean that a people before you have tried all the mods you wanna install and say "this one can be loaded first, this one after the first, this one instead is not compatible with mod A, B and C"... and so on for 80 or 90 or 100 mods... it is because of that I said "there's no way"... maybe someone did it and I don't know, but the best chances are: "major" (you can read "most popular/most used") mod can be loaded with each other and, in the case, in the guide there are list of compatibilities and load priorities; mods from the same developer are compatible (at least, I hope!) and in the case he/she provides list, guide, priority etc...; little mods can work with major, maybe dev have tested them, maybe it used to work a day but then there was a change in a major mod and dev of the "minor" mod didn't fix issues ... in few words: you can make any assumption until you don't install that mod with others Let us know if you find something, but for the reasons I'm saying I think you have little chances...
  17. Finished the Black Company series. Soldiers Live sure had Cook pruning things, I can only assume he meant to leave the series at that point based on how it goes. The ending is rather sweet, in a way, even if everything is rushing a bit. Read Port of Shadows and it's a rather weird book, so much of the book is lies in universe - or at least I think so. Some people say it's an actual sequel and Lady is time traveling, which....could make some sense.
  18. YouTube comment of the decade:
  19. I'm starting to view the tariffs as a form of gambling, a tactic that DJT seems to enjoy. They don't really generate significant wealth on the whole, but they can be used as a type of shell game with presumably DJT being the only one who knows where the marker is hidden. The real victim of the tariffs will be the public, through higher prices and more limited good selection.
  20. 2e core rulebook out in a week hope this launch go well
  21. Does anyone remember this from 2020, somehow I doubt Trump and Bondi would be laughing at this now
  22. Yes, I agree This deal wont benefit US car manufacturers by definition because imports provide alternatives to local goods And well priced imports now become competitive with locally produced goods But thats the nature of trade around exports and imports, its a balance and really a decision that consumers make Im sure none of us want to live in a country where you cant find any imported goods I buy EU imported cheeses all time, they obviously more expensive but you cant find the same type of cheese around taste in SA like Roquefort, Gorgonzola or UK mature Cheddar
  23. Japanese car company stocks exploded while GM's dropped. Fairly easy to see who "won" the deal. US car makers aren't going to sell a single car more in Japan while their cars now have an advantage over others, and Japan can really use rice imports at the moment, rice prices are becoming a huge problem for the government. Not that the US is exporting or even producing a whole lot of rice anyway. Trump's really a master of negotiation and deal making. His tarrifs are now screwing over GM more than Mazda, Toyota & comapny.
