Fresh Baldur's Gate gameplay stream. Thank goodness they have written normal dialogue options. I still don't like how not singleplayer this game is. Beyond that it is looking great. Also a nice short interview with Swen:

well that is one reeally ugly gun! I hoped you would trust in czechnology https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-75-b-9mm-black-16-rd-mag/

It was when it turned the manipulator around that I broke down for real

Nice Derringer!

It did to me when I first glanced at it

Re-read it an compare it to the events surrounding the schism and collapse of the Western Roman Empire and you'll almost be convinced he was thinking of that rather than the end of the world. Of course it was calamitous enough you might think it WAS the end of the world from a certain point of view.

Can't fool me.

Today I found out that I have B-cup breasts, so that's nice.

^Thats the shtick of that poster.

And Necromancy, the dead demographic is a big voting bloc.

ironic, meatloaf had dropped a whole bunch o' weight previous to his fight club role, and he were wearing a fat suit throughout the film. is actual one scene, which didn't get edited, where you may see meatloaf with his pants falling down and he needs pull 'em back over his foamy suit. also, in spite o' being much shorter than edward norton, he towers over ed in that scene. movie "magic." still hope. @Hurlshot from our pov, the only reason for swimming in the waters o' san francisco bay is no longer valid: escape alcatraz. those waters is having sharks and is brutal cold. 'least near half moon bay you got great surf. regardless, congrats on the mixed blessing o' your newfound vigor and "health." HA! Good Fun!

Actually, Boston Dynamics has a code of use for Spot. I laughed my ass off when it twerked.

precisely i've found that it seems like a lot of players don't bother with explicit interrupts of spells, at least based on some of the posts i've seen.

You are correct. It's a weird shift. A few years and 30 pounds ago I had borderline high blood pressure, bad knees and I would throw my back out about once a year. I wasn't in terrible shape. I could still get up and down the ice in a hockey game. But I didn't feel like I had a lot of energy. Part of that was just being a parent. The early years are tough because you are just trying to keep them alive. I mean, they have very little sense of self-preservation for the first chunk of years. It was exhausting. So I started running, and the energy started coming back, and some pounds went away, and the blood pressure got better. That improvement can be a bit of an addiction in itself. You have to keep pushing to see more improvements. But I have way more energy. My back still gets tight, my knees still swell, but I recover way faster from those things. I also get to do amazing things like swim across the San Francisco Bay or climb a snow topped mountain with my bike. There are no regrets.

That reminds me of a funny thread I read on that Nextdoor social media site the other day. Nextdoor is kind of a humorous facebook site where neighbors complain about each other. Now our town is divided up into a few different areas. There is the main area that is mostly single family homes with easy freeway access for commuting. It's very suburban and sprawls across a valley floor. Then we have a clump of houses up on the ridge line called Holiday Lake Estates. A lady from up there posted that she wanted to learn how to handle a gun, because of the current unrest. She was concerned that the police would not be able to respond quickly to her. I was like, the police have never been able to respond quickly to you. You live on a mountain ridge! It's a 10-minute drive to get up there no matter how well funded the police department is or how many officers are available. Also, nobody is climbing up that hill to loot and riot in your quiet neighborhood. Your level of risk has not changed in any way due to the current political climate. Meanwhile I live a block away from the city center, and we've had a number of protest marches come through. They've all been chill. My safety is much more at risk from all the bad drivers that zip around our side streets trying to avoid freeway traffic than I am any bands of roving antifa fighters.

I don't remember if I talked about this, but I had a solid B cup on my leg after crashing my bike. It was just this weird sac of fluid hanging out right where I impacted. When I started running again, it would jiggle up and down painfully, so I started wearing a compression sleeve on my thigh. My wife used that as an opportunity to lecture me about the importance of good sports bras. Anyways, the fluid is nearly gone now, and my wife has upgraded her collection of sports bras. You have my sympathy, Azdeus.

on the positive side, if they ever do a stage show o' fight club, (five minutes from now somebody will perhaps inform us there is such a thing... maybe even an ice show?) you got an inroad for playing meatloaf's part. warning: first rule in death, a member of project mayhem has a name. fare thee well azdeus. fare the well. HA! Good Fun!

Don't, I found it funny, or I wouldn't have clicked like I expected it, the medicine has two uses, as a potassium sparing diuretic and for male to female hormone treatments. Normally when you get it for high blood pressure you get relatively small doses, 25mg or so, I'm at 150mg. Hell, I've even done mammography!

No, that WAS funny!

just a heads up: the comrade board character, which am dubious as to legitimacy, is a cartoonish level ideologue. his/her posting strikes us as disingenuous and am suspecting the post you respond to is just one o' many offerings which function as a kinda inside joke, so far played out in +300 segments, only the poster gets. alternative, he/she is a genuine cartoony ideologue. decide for self which alternative is less worthy o' serious response. HA! Good Fun!

I have to admit that I like to do some of the set-piece kills just to see them, like Then I reload my last quick save and do it non-lethal style.

I pay just below 33% in taxes, and that's without the 1.x% churchfee they deduct. Don't forget the VAT on VAT for fuel though The majority of the taxes you and I pay though, go to the municipality and they have nothing to do with healthcare really, elder care though yes, but it's the regional council tax (landstingsskatt) we pay that goes to healthcare, ~11.5% of our wage goes to the regional council and they use ~90% of that money for hospitals and the like.

Look at the bright side, they could have added vuvuzela sounds

Probably from the latest FIFA game. I wonder if football leagues would need to pay royalties to EA for that... or to FIFA. Or both?

As far as I know (very much not an expert on patent law of any kind), is that it is possible to extend medical/drug patents in the US provided the drug itself is altered in some way, i.e. "incrementally improved" - which means jack sh*t because that just means changed a bit, not necessarily more effective. Which is why quasi-monopolies manufacturing high-demand medicine like Insulin can price fix to their heart's desire. And et voilà, you end up paying 200$ for an Insulin pen in the US and 8$ for the same dose everywhere else in the world. It also proves that it is not entirely about research costs. Insulin was discovered by a research team almost a century ago, the original patent belonging to the University of Toronto. Canadians being nice as they are licensed the manufacturing to a few US companies at little or no cost, and they went on to patent their incremental improvements. For, well, also almost a century now. Hands up, who thinks these sort of price increases just happened without, ahem, illicit dealings of the companies involved? Cuz I'm looking for a buyer, I have this here, uhm, bridge in NY to sell.

The future looks bright...like a lens flare.

How about climbing tools such as spiked gloves, boots and knee pads crafted from acorn shells &/or beetle carapace. Some type of line or thread attached to a needle or spike. Either swung and thrown by the player and also fired from a bow. The ability to climb the thread/line both upwards & abseiling downwards. Climbing could drain stamina so as to limit how much the player might exploit the environment. Being able to abseil down and dangle in an open space and potentially begin to shift your weight forwards and back in order to swing.

As long as capitalism remains intact police brutality and racism (from ALL races) will remain, our economic system is fundamentally racist so unless we fix the system it will never go away. People really need to stop focusing on cosmetics and reskins and start focusing on the structure of society.

Thanks a lot Thelee for the quick answer, i realised before that i didnt get an achievments for solo and i was wondering maybe there was one for TCS and megabosses etc. I played 450 hours on this game and im about to do a final nice companion run and side with Valian trading company i never did get with them cause many companions leave you if you take their side... i did countless rerolls and never killed the 4 big mega boss. and my solo SC assassin did DLCS but couldnt be a match for those 4. I hesitated to mod my game due to steam achievments and your answer makes me get the community patch Also as it may be one of my last posts on this forum once i finish my last run, i have a special attention towards you Thelee, You are by far my favorite contributer/poster here, you managed to do the Ultimate though you always tend in favor to "what can give you fun" when people asks for build and you make us ask ourselves the true questions of how enjoying the game. In addition of your great knowledge, gamefaqs. And for that i'll be forever thankfull to you To be more specific maybe half my time on this game were pointless abandonned solo runs trying to make stuff work, 50% time spent like that was fun but the other 50% was tedious and quite frustrating... Untill i realise i wouldnt even get an achievment for it... And then i faced some of your posts about what we really want when we build a char and it changed my view of this great game. Thanks again. (Ofc Boeroer is the Godfather here with his sidekicks (Kaylon, Elric Galad, and all those i forget about, i ofc looked a lot into your posts aswell)

My dad and stepmom are finally recovering after a little over two weeks of being sick from this. My dad had it the worst and there were a couple of days where it got pretty close for him (he stopped breathing one of those nights) but since the hospitals in AZ are overfilled he didn't really have many options other than toughing it out and hoping to either pull through or pass quickly. Of course I didn't know about any of this until a day or so ago once he was feeling better.

Hi ! I just played Grounded Tech Test on Xbox One X for an hour and a half and I am here to say I had lot of fun. I wasn't expecting to enjoy the game to be honest, and I did although I played solo. Behind what seemed to be a game that relied entirely on the concept, I've been pleasantly surprised to found a good RPG demo. I hope the content will be substancial and that the narrative and the sandbox aspect overlap well in the final version. Anyway, I'm glad it's coming soon on Game Pass, and I can't want to play with my friends and my girlfriend (arachnophobia mode was a great idead ^^). Obsidian doesn't disappoint !

I'd be willing to bet that you have, just under a different name*. In most of the anglosphere it's called 'excess' rather than 'deductible', no idea what it would be in Polish though, and it's been on every property type insurance policy I've ever had. It's an amount set to stop frivolous claims from gumming up the system in theory at least, practically it's to keep costs down and discourage small claims in general. So if you put a hammer through a wall in the house while putting up a picture frame while that would technically be an insurable incident you don't claim on it because the $1000 excess is more than just going to the hardware store for some filler and a can of paint yourself. Having said that, waiving excess is not uncommon, the one time I've had to make a claim they waived it (house fire which I put out before the fire brigade arrived, their assessor even got them to pay for a replacement fire extinguisher). *Don't bother with the wikipedia article on deductibles though, it's 100% US centric. Much as I might dislike Trump and his response to covid that did make some sense in the context of reported cases. He was claiming the US response looks bad because they are doing a lot of testing so detect most cases, and if they did less testing the stats would look better. Which is true, so far as it goes. India and Brazil at least would have far higher reported cases if they were doing more testing, and neither would be doing well in terms of reporting deaths; and even in OECD level countries excess deaths in the UK are ~20k higher than the formal covid death toll (and even the official death rate is 2x that of the US per capita). We also have our first cases in over three weeks. Thanks to some tearjerking reporting about how inhumane it is for quarantine to be enforced on grieving families and a judge deciding to overturn the no exceptions rule the two effected people traveled all the way from Auckland to Wellington too for a funeral. Cue multiple surprised pikachu faces and selective amnesia from the media who'd been complaining about the 'inhumane' policy for the previous 3 months. Ho hum.

The Cleveland Spiders Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll show myself out.

Well, E:D was a scam, so does not count. Also both of them are more in line with Privateer or Freelancer. What I am missing is true successor to Wing Commander, Starlancer or Freespace

Fun interview. Don't be scared by the length of the video, it's actually only 25 minutes long.

Yes, a game where a shadowy heir to a fortune sends unfortunates to their doom for profit definitively takes your mind of the current political environment. Joking aside, best Lovecraft game yet.

My first reaction to this trailer was "Should I cancel my pre-order?"

I've been running all over the east coast and midwest the past week and a half doing heavy miles, just how I like it. I shut down just south of Nashville today, did some squats, took a nice long walk, and found a sushi place near the truck stop. My delivery isn't until tomorrow afternoon and they won't take me early. I don't usually drink while on the road, but I ain't going anywhere for about 24 hours, so I'm gonna have a beer. I earned it. Beer & sushi #LivingTheDream

TGIF!

Well, not all sideeffects of medicines need to be unplesant, they're fricking nice I'll have you know Though goddamn painfull, I'll tell you that, I really sympathize with girls plights when it comes to dealing with them.

I went to what used to be my favourite burger place and discovered they've changed owners. Didn't discover they changed owners until after I ordered though, they no longer chuck for their ground beef, and they don't know how to fry fries. I'm miserable right now.
