My family rewatches the movies yearly, usually around the holidays. We also have wands and a few items that we've taken to Universal Studios a few times. I'm not sure I'm into an HBO series though. It seems very early for a reboot, but maybe I'm wrong. HBO also seems like a strange place to launch a show that is really supposed to appeal to young people first and foremost. I mean that was the brilliance of the books and the movies. The superfans basically grow up with the characters. Granted JK Rowlings has alienated a good chunk of the fanbase, but like with Hogwarts Legacy, the IP has outgrown the author quite a bit.

Hey! First time playing PoE2 and i really, really enjoy some guns in my fantasy setting! x3 So what classes/multiclasses could work well with guns as their main focus? I used a gun/cipher in PoE1 and want to do something different now. Been looking at Chanter, Rogue or some Fighter combination? Paladin? Rogue? Not sure, as the system is just sooo different from everything else i've been playing. I'd also appriciate some rec's for the Statspread and all! ^^

You think this build is decent for first playthrough? Thanks :)

I've reported more than 100 videos as 'ai slop' over the last month, and the algorithm is starting to give me VHS rips like these instead. Not sure what the hillbilly vibe is about, I'm definitely a city slicker. I don't hate it, especially compared to the slop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af9wHDrkjfk&list=RDaf9wHDrkjfk&start_radio=1

If redacted does deploy US troops to the small Iranian islands, they are probably going to have to stay there for a lengthy deployment. They will be subject to bombardment from the mainland, plus defending against raids and drones. It could be a steady hemorrhaging from troop fatalities, which will tank public support. I don't see this turning out well.

Hi everyone, After today's update, the game won't start anymore. It was working fine yesterday. Now I immediately get error code 0xc0000005. My drivers are up to date, and so is the operating system. Windows 11 Pro 25H2

Note that Russia has been waging a sabotage campaign throughout Europe (including Polish railway lines to Ukraine), summarized here (with citations): Russian sabotage operations in Europe This has intensified since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Honestly? If I lived on the US west coast, I would worry more about the San Andreas Fault than climate change I was thinking about it when I lived in Wellington (New Zealand). That street going through the middle of the city with the brass plaques showing where the water front once was (until an earthquake rearranged local geography). Those earthquakes happens at regular intervals and iirc both ones in California and Wellington are late for their next appointment.

They sold my IPS to the largest (state owned) one in my country. So basically good bye 10gb internet speeds once my contract is up. Should have singed a 2 year extension before they fully moved...

My sister rewatches the movies a couple of times a year and I know a couple of women who are really in to HP. There is a big audience for this, even if it is a rehash. Also lol at black Snape...

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.
