Yup. When CO:E33 becomes challenging it is becoming Sekiro. Once you get to the end game hard bosses you will probably appreciate being able to take an extra hit or two before seeing game over screen, but from what I remember you can respec pretty freely anyway.

I can guess who is going to enjoy the scenes where the Marauders bully the tokenized black Snape, but outside of that...

I wonder what the target audience is for that (obviously not me)?... 🤔

(Yes, I know I am in the comedy thread, it is appropriate).

Heck, I consider Denmark a belligerent in the war in Ukraine for providing material support for one of the parties. I'm fairly sure the only reason supply lines haven't been attacked here, is because Russia isn't ready for a total war with what is left of Nato yet. Worst part is, I wouldn't even blame Russia for doing so if it made strategic sense, cutting off supplies to their opponent.

Some humor should always be appreciated

Is this how you feel for all wars? So for example both Iran and NK provided military resources to Russia for its war in Ukraine Do you now consider them belligerents and they are legitimate targets for Ukraine and its allies?

This type of development is the greatest indictment on Trumps presidency There is a degree of selective and sensationalized criticism towards Trump and much of it isnt from Americans so you cant say how much it really matters around his popularity and support for his policies. For example using SM as a gauge is imprudent and often inaccurate But when Americans decide who they going to vote for, thats the final and most significant metric of Trumps overall success as a president This is not the first time the Dems have won a special election in a deep red state, it happened in Texas as well Midterms are going to be very interesting

Well, I've tried Avowed, ray traced Witcher 3, Spider-Man, DMC5, HZD, Talos Principle Resomething, and they all get easily past 60 Fps without frame generation or super sampling. The next upgrade will be one of the new generation QD-OLED ultrawides, which will require some DLSS.

If you've never stumbled across this channel before, it's one of my faves. She has two channels, one with shorter/more edited grooming sessions and one with longer/less edited. Anyway - it's crazy, she's wonderful at job, she does both cats and dogs and rescues, and it's oddly entertaining/amusing.

It's too bad Arrow Lake wasn't where it could have been at launch. Eh, well, but if Intel can actually sell the 270KP for 300$ and still make some money from it (big if, I guess) then Foveros isn't making CPUs excessively more expensive. Which is a good sign, all in all.

You'd probably get the same results with a 5800X3D or 5700X3D. Game's GPU bound out the wazoo when you turn ray tracing on (and why wouldn't you with a 5080). You should try BG3 or Factorio and cry a little over not picking an AM4 X3D part up when you could though. :p

Yep. They probably thought they were safe due to Russia not targeting all the western assets that Ukraine uses- which are also legitimate targets. That rather ignores that if Russia were in a similar situation to Iran is rather than Russia is... well, she wouldn't be, due to having nukes. ie the US would be trying to explain why the Ford was atomised rather than had a 'laundry fire'. Plus of course and inevitably there's an extremely long list of all the times the west bombed 'non belligerents', targeted the economies of 3rd parties etc. Indeed, every single point is a lesson in double standards. Perhaps best summed up by quoting an expert referring to the San Remo Manual. Which is specifically not binding, but in any case says: So yeah, you can legally target neutral ships running a blockade (though the binding legal framework for it is, iirc, from the 19th century). And of course, most of the people shocked and appalled at Iran Blockading the Strait aren't shocked and appalled at, say, Israel starving Gazans or denying them water via blockade; they're just shocked and appalled when it effects them.

Hopefully the Macbook Neo becomes the kick in the ass Microslop needs to steer back from the cliff they insist going over. News coming out from them is positive, let's see the follow through.

The Avowed skill tree is organised into the core classes of Warrior, Rogue and Mage. It retains the free allocation system from the rulebook, giving players a wide range of options for how their hybrid classes might look. Rather than a Paladin being strictly based on specific warrior skills and specific mage skills, the player has the choice. Accordingly, the hybrid classes exist as they can be played in the gameplay. But they can be shaped as the player sees fit for their character. How does a Cleric or Paladin with their ‘domain’ function in the role of the Envoy? The Envoy begins with their affiliation to the Aedyr Throne. And their task, which is part of the main plot. How would a Bleak Walker or Kind Wayfarers fit in? Various dialogues would need to be altered, including skills. A Woadica Paladin would work fine in some contexts, but restricting the Paladin class to that role feels limiting.

Whatever cookie policy gg.deals uses is probably the same one used by the Obsidian forums. 🤐

Look mom, it didn't explode! 😀 I don't know why, but somehow I imagine the end of the world being, not going out with a bang, but the wooshing sound of a plunger in a kitchen sink.

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)
