Hooking up with a pair of young ladies tonight at one of their places for some take away food and an evening of video gaming and rum tasting... probably more of the latter Edit: Jackbox games amongst others, is quite fun when you can get a few people together (2-3 other will join us online). As for the rums... Kraken, Ratu (from Fiji), Bundaburg... a few others

Why. Why do they insist on demoing FPSs with a ****ing controller??? Looks fun otherwise. I doubt it'll have a substantial amount of content like The Following, but if it does well, it could convince Techland to do the standalone it could have been. Maybe?

That bathroom must have a pretty tall ceiling to accommodate an ettin.

It's logical to demo something on the worst possible controller no? Like, if it's playable with that then it's playable on anything. Guitar Hero drum controller it is then.

You'd think it be easier to chew and sort tasty bits from yuck bits if food's gibbed, but noooo, gibs be invisible and inedible. Barbarians should not be this picky about their food as if they were some pampered mage or somethin'

Modern, spoken English is a bit like "simplified English". Seveal old place names have the ces part silent. Like e.g. Leicester. Worcester & Gloucester. (lester, woster and gloster) Edit: There were some quite funny youtube videos a few years ago where non-English speakers were trying to pronounce Leicester (after they won the English Premiere League) Edit2: And you're by far not the only one... an American trying to pronounce English names (Worcester is about the minute mark)

odd. watching the task force briefing, we recalled our firstest obsidian board covid-19 thread post. believe pence and you would think the US south and southwest has a few hotspots which should be contained in short order. nothing to see. oh, and somehow, not following cdc advice is a first amendment issue. ... not need say this, or we would hope so, but the rights o' free speech and assembly does not preclude a person from choosing to follow guidelines which prevent the spread of infection and save lives. the wh has chosen to flaunt cdc guidelines which it simultaneous claims is important for preventing the spread o' the virus. 'cause maga is the new opiate o' the masses. HA! Good Fun!

Worked, ofcourse - no corona vacation for me. We had a small thunderstorm roll on in at about 5pm. It was equal amounts of nice and awful, I was wading through 10-15cms of water on the yard, and thunder was striking all around us; it'd been atleast 30C the entire day, or atleast what it felt like, so it was welcome to get some cooling - downside; massive amounts of rain, I could barely see ten metres. I kept on working despite the thunder and lightning weather, so I was in a state of extreme stress whilst my coworkers was chilling and waiting for the rain to stop. So I was soaking wet and to kept on working after the 15 or so minutes of intense rainfall, so I every piece of clothing I had was soaked through. And whilst being a yard jockey might sound like a nice lax job, it's actually more intense and physical than one might think, and working in soaked through clothes and underwear(underpants, pants, bra, t-shirt, socks and shoes) was extremely unpleasant and chafing is massive all over. It's ****ing ludirous how much skin I'm missing. Especially at the feet, that water I was wading through was full of diesel, rubber, different oils and whatnot and it shows at my feet that has developed red spots all over and I wish I could dunk them in acid or something. Came home, my sister (Incase you've missed it; We mix about as awell as oil and water) is moving in tomorrow in the house next to mine. So me and my mother chilled on the porch with booze, wine, beer and talk for a couple of hours. I drank about 60 cl of disgusting cognac (because "systembolaget" (Google for details) won't ship any proper booze) so I'm getting a bit tipsy from being dehydrated, my mother matched it so I have to give kudos to her; We were "celebrating" one of the last nights of peace and quite before my sister and her kids move in. It was nice, loads of chatting, filled my mother in on some medical details (She's a former nurse, psychiatric mainly, but also early on "normal"/General practicioner nurse) on some of my medical history, and apparently it had passed her completely by things that I've got fricking breasts and had a mammography, even though I told her about it, and she was... well, mocking, which was expected, but still that's as close as sympathetic she will get. It was nice chatting for a while, and just relaxing. Got to mock her back for her belief in Astrology, correcting her ofcourse as I'm likely to do when bull**** hits my face about history of astrology and things like precessesion of the equinoxes and similar. Now I'm feeling the booze hit hard, probably a bit dehydrated so going to binge water for a while but **** if it hasn't been a decent day anyway. Well, except the chafing. Dear god, I'm getting to feel really drunk now. Niiiiiiiice. 😄 It'll be interesting to see how much sense this post makes tomorrow!

Just sent a message to melkathi to brush up on his Mordheim skills.

Some more stuff if not mentioned before, if you have blade cascade on and grave calling, you can permanently stun-lock mega bosses even they have body affliction resistance, dunno if this is an oversight but that paralyze from weapon cannot be resisted.

Your soaked bra made me actually laugh out loud, but Im laughing with you, not at you. Ive sincerely got my fingers crossed that the meds get you blood pressure under control. 👍

^ Thanks. I must say that your link has inspired me to go down the rabbit hole a little bit, and uh... I mean, just what on Earth is going on in this video:

Also Corpse Eaters can't eat gibbed enemies because there's no corpse left.

in poe reincarnation are obviously related to adra pillar and engwithan once gain the ability to shape and grow adra it was implied once all pillar are luminous and grow no way of knowing how long did adra grow before life start exist if a new system emerge after eothas destroy the machine on ukaizo it would likely take much longer than the few generation of life gods estimated eothas's plan was desperate and radical otherwise other gods would be able to prevent it with the destruction of wheel eothas hope to force gods to aid or at least doesn't prevent reconstruction of the wheel it would allow kith to learn some of the engwithan knowledge

You have no idea how much I miss things like that but in a more social environment which we not encouraged to do until we have the virus beaten

If the weather holds, a fire, single malt and a cigar are in order ...

the literal definition is that "gibs" is short for "giblets": internal organs. more colloquially, in video games "gibs" (or being "gibbed") is what happens in certain games where you kill something and they explode into tiny chunks of meat and flesh. i guess the idea being that instead of the enemy just falling over dead, their internal organs are blowing up everywhere. more specifically, in deadfire, if you have "gibs" enabled, when you kill an enemy with a critical hit, instead of leaving a body behind, they explode into a bunch of bloody chunks. This mirrors the behavior of the old games Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale (or to a certain extent, the original Fallouts). For deadfire, there is actually a mechanical effect - it is not purely for looks. Some effects[1] rely on enemy corpses, and if an enemy is "gibbed" they don't leave a corpse behind. So if you want to maximize those types of effects, you should disable this option in deadfire. [1] examples: you can't use chanter invocation to blow up corpses, you can't use druid "Garden of Life", even many cipher "transfer" effects shut down if the corpse is annihilated via a "gib".

All Baryons Matter So to speak...

I mean, at best you can say she is just stereotyping anyone on welfare. That would be the most forgiving way to look at her. But given the timing and the current climate, it's blatantly racist. This woman, who as an educator is supposed to be guiding young people out of the cycle of poverty that so many minorities are mired in, responds to all the talk about white privilege by stereotyping everyone on welfare. She's making a healthy 6 figure salary to lift these kids up, and instead goes after their choice in shoes. That is the definition of white privilege. Then she put it on facebook! Lordie lord.

I never even heard of "mixer" till now.

am predicting a whole lotta artistic license which will incense many o' the few thousand o' us folks who actual read foundation. won't bother or suprise us personal as we understand the need for adapting to a different audience and medium, but there will be complaints. inevitable. asimov's "book" were one o' the original grand works o' science fiction. weren't a book, not original. foundation were serialized in a pulpy scif mag. the eventual book were a collection o' related short stories which, if followed religious by the apple folks, would confuse the heck outta many folks who just watched the trailer. is short stories and nevertheless the pacing were glacial, almost literal. a whole lotta non-action events progressed over the course o' a thousand years. don't misunderstand our observations as criticism. we enjoyed foundation, particularly as a somewhat pretentious teen reading a delrey version back in the early 80s. still recall the kewl michael whelan cover art which much as anything had us buy the series entire (lightly used) at a church flea market sale when we could ill afford to do so. ... am not gonna spoil, but the first book especial, is not akin to star wars or even dune. edward gibbons' series, the history of the decline of the roman empire were not suitable to be made into a movie save as a documentary, and foundation itself as a movie/series would most accurate work if embracing a documentary style. not gonna happen. if decline of the roman empire were in far future and could be replicated in five short stories 'stead o' six volume, you would have something similar to foundation. were so fantastic. 'course gibbons work were (kinda) made into a movie, so... HA! Good Fun!

Per the original thread on this topic -

Looking at twitter (I don't know why I looked at twitter) the consensus seems to be "guilty until proven innocent and we don't have time to prove things".

First time I use the "gasp" reaction for real!

I mean, now I think you're just being willfully obtuse. Brilliant isn't that relevant apart from megabosses solely because the rest of the game expects you to be able to beat it without using Brilliant, so yeah, you don't need it. It doesn't change the fact that it's super good. 70 focus and casting time - you can do that basically at the start of a fight on a wizard or priest or druid and just spam the #1 spell you have the rest of the fight; unless you're a level 20 party against xuarips, it's not bad action economy it is optimal action economy because now you can cast the perfect spell over and over, isntead of going from your #1 spell to your #2 spell, etc. Brilliant isn't borderline OP, it is OP. I don't think you fully thought this one out - this makes tactician even better than before. A wizard with slicken will have an effect far stronger than anything brilliant could've given them.

This is the only one with 3 Ds

I'll let the best Starfleet CO explain the next part. He also agrees that baseball is life!
