OK, so Version 1.4 Notes (changes in green are in the nerf package) : 1) Added Keyworks : Lightning Strikes : Added Electricity KW Dichotomous Soul : Added Fire and Ice KW Zandethus Draconic Fury : Added Fire KW 2) Empower Passive : The general idea is to promote the use of Empower by adding to Empower Passive a lasting bonus after Empower has been used. This bonus is stronger that what a passive usually offer, but this is counterbalanced by the need to time your Empower and is not compatible with ressource refill. 1 - Accurate Empower : +10 Accuracy to Empowered Spell, +5 Accuracy for rest of battle2 - Potent Empower : +30% damages to Empowered Spell, +15% damages for rest of battle (tried "Healing Done too, but was bugged)3 - "Fast" Empower* : Instant Recovery to Empowered Spell, +15% Action speed for rest of battle4 - Penetrating Empower : + 2 PEN to Empowered Spell, +1 PEN for rest of battle * to replace the bugged Lasting Empower. Weyc's Wand : Instant Recovery of Empowered ability -> +15% action speed for 20s after using an Empower ability (to avoid redundancy with Fast Empower) Chopping Wood : 100% Hit to Crit for Empowered ability, 20% Hit to Crit for rest of battleMurderous Intent : (100% Hit to Crit /+100% Crit damages) against foes under 50% health for Empowered ability, (20% Hit to Crit /+20% Crit damages) against foes under 50% health for rest of battle Great Soul : Currently a worthless talent for any individual battle. Therefore I wanted to seize the opportunity to give Single Class a bit more ressources, especially Chantesr (since Chants don't even scale with PL, I think Single Class Chanter feels less optimal than multiclass one). So in addition to +1 Empower, it now provides : - Martials : + 1 ressource- Chanter : -15% phrase duration (~+17% chanting speed)- Cipher : +3 focus / 6s (I wanted some straight +20 focus at start of combat, but it wasn't technically possible) - Casters : +1 Tier 1 and +1 Tier 2 spells. (not meant to be powerful, convenient at most) 3) Summoned Weapons and Spiritshift : I'm paying special attention to Summoned Weapons and Spiritshift because they replace actual weapons/armors. So if they are not as good as endgame equipment, they won't be used. All of them need either good stats or a niche. Llengrath's Warding Staff : Added +12 Deflection since the description advertise for a Deflection bonus. Citzal's Enchanted Armory : Quality set to Mythic Duration : 25s - > 35s Added 100% Miss to Graze to Weapons Added 100% Crit to Hit to Armor Spiritual Weapons : Removed the casting time bonus from Community Patch (the Martial Casting talent buff covers it) Added +10 Accuracy to all gods weapons except Woedica's. Spiritshift duration: Duration scale with PL (I had to set Boar Wounding DoT to a fixed 9s to avoid its scaling too). Spiritshift Stag : +7 all defenses - > +10 all defenses Carnage (as implemented by Community Patch) adjusted to base 33% weapon damages. Spiritshift Wolf: +25% Stride - > +50% Stride 1 Knockdown - > 3 Knockdowns Wildstrike : Now also provides +1 PL to corresponding "element" when shifted (Fire, Electricity, Acid/Decay, Ice/Water) Greater Widstrike : Now also provides +2 PL to corresponding "element" when shifted (Fire, Electricity, Acid/Decay, Ice/Water) Note this is intended to make Shifter malus more significant. 4) Miscellanous : One Handed Style : Also add 20% Miss to Graze and 20% Graze to Hit Pistol Modal : -50% Recovery - > -40% Recovery Hunter Bow Modal : -50% Recovery - > -40% Recovery Spell Resistance Ability : 10% Resistance - > 15% Inspired Defense : +1AR for 3s - > 5s Strengthened Bond : +15 All defenses vs AoE - > +17 All defenses Greater Focus : +10 Max Focus - > +2 Max Focus per level (was +1 per level in previous version, but since it only provides 25% Ma Focus at the start of battle, I felt it wasn't enough) Keen Mind : +10 Focus on Start of Battle - > +1 Focus per level (was +1.5 in previous version but I realized it provides much more starting focus than Greater Focus so I decided to lower it a bit. Soul Blade on Kill effect : +10 Max focus for 30s - > +5 +1/lvl (was completely unsignificant at high level. Still not very strong but at least visible) Echoing Horror : Add a +1 Accuracy scaling bonus for PL beyond 7 (rather unsignificant but aligned with similar passive abilities for sake of ruleset consistency) Fractured Volition : Corrected a bug that caused Enfeebled Affliction to last indefinitely. Added Missing item "Torc of the Falcon Eye" (headgear, +2PER) at Una's Shop Stun : Cyclopedia updated according to Community Patch (Cyclopedia said it was -10 all defenses but it was wrong : it is -10 Deflection and another -10 Reflex with CP) @Sergeant Arch Dornan привет !

So I read in three different news sources yesterday that Trump is again asking if the Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona Legislatures (all Republican controlled) could be asked to appoint "loyal electors" and re-elect him in defiance of the state vote. That a US President would even ask that is horrifying. But after four years of this SOB not surprising. The latest story is that he will pardon everyone he feels "loyal" to and then resign the office before Jan 20th so a President Pence can pardon him. I've always thought highly of Pence before he became associated with Trump. I always thought he had integrity. As Trump's VP he has a role to play but if he becomes President, even if only a matter of days, that integrity will be put to the test. I hope he passes, issues no pardons, and heads off into the retirement he was planning before he became Trump's running mate. He owes Trump nothing and Trump surely deserves nothing.

I never connected Cowboy Bebop with Firefly. Actually it's the first time now I even read about such a comparison. One-Punch Man was really good. I expected nothing from it, but it felt so fresh and new because it tries to subvert the genres. I don't regret spending the time on watching it.

If you're familiar with some aspects of Jewish mysticism some things make more sense, but in general it's a show that's good to come back to because you pick up more stuff you would have normally skipped. I'm pretty sure Asuka was aware of what Shinji did, but on the other hand waking up to find the only person alive is Shinji is probably a big downer. Of course the biggest mind**** is the Shave Impact, which is definitely canon. Cowboy Bebop is similar to Firefly in that it's got a similar setting, but it's lacking the Whedon stuff of Firefly which is a good thing. Paranoia Agent is really good and should be given a go. One Punch Man is different from most superhero stuff because there's no real sense of danger, it's almost slice of life territory but the life is a depressed guy who isn't satisfied because everything is too easy. Personally I'd recommend Devilman Crybaby as it's short and avoids some of the more silly stuff you find in anime while still being bat**** crazy. If you liked Sailor Moon's ludicrous nonsense, you may like JoJo as well but it's umm....very flamboyant and really likes killing animals. There's also the 90's Berserk but it ends abruptly in one hell of a downer and the manga will never be finished so you won't get a conclusion.

quick legal update: --the mi case which were filed in the dc court of federal claims was "transferred" to the mi fed district court... where the case had already been filed. lawyers blamed the filing mistake on a software error. sure. the state case related to what were described as widespread voter irregularities in detroit counties were dismissed today. the judge specific noted any ruling w/o going through the legislative mandated certification process would amount to improper judicial activism. am not certain exact when the fed case is scheduled to be heard in mi, but making the claims o' election shenanigans a fed case were always kinda a hail mary. not equal protection or due process claims save by stretching meaning o' the law to a tortured extreme. were always far more likely to get a sympathetic judge in a state case. --the maricopa, az case we mentioned yesterday were withdrawn by the trump campaign today. moot. as we noted yesterday, it became apparent the sharpiegate and red-green button concerns would only affect, at most, 191 ballots. biden is likely to win az by ~10k. pointless to argue over 191. moot. am suspecting the judge gave the trump campaign a chance to withdraw or need suffer a what woulda' been a particularly caustic dismissal. am not sure if we adequate conveyed how bad the testimony went for trump in az yesterday. were cringeworthy and by the end o' the day we were actual expecting rule 11 sanctions for the trump campaign lawyers. -- in pennsylvania... am honest not certain where relevant cases stand as is kinda confusing what claims has been dropped or resubmitted. will know more by the end o' the day. Trump lawyers withdraw from key Pennsylvania case challenging vote count "On Tuesday, the firm took down its Twitter account amid a barrage of negative attention from users on the platform critical of the firm’s work with the president. In a statement, a spokesperson noted Porter Wright’s “long history of election law work” on behalf of Democratic, Republican and independent candidates." the other marquee firm representing the trump campaign in pennsylvania is jones day. there have been protests outside jones day offices 'cross the country, but am gonna admit we would be shocked if the j/d lawyers withdrew. ... will update later if there is new news or if we can figure out more 'bout where things stand in pennsylvania. HA! Good Fun!

You should make a new Growing station that can grow Grass, Berry's, and acorns...And you will be able to 3 times before having to water it.. hope you see it and put it in the game

Yes, the selected electors for all three states are voted for on election day, so no I believe the respective legislatures can't change them. The fact that Trump had no compunction against asking this makes his removal from power all the more worthwhile.

The grass should be plant fiber, the acorn should be by acorn bits, but yes I guess the berry won't really work

I loved One Punch Man. Mostly I found it hilarious. If they ever make a full live-action version, these guys should be involved in it.

Electors are chose by the state legislature. They are pledged to vote for the winner of the Presidential election of that state. But the state legislature is not legally beholden to the outcome of the election. They could, theoretically, go another way. It has never been done to my knowledge and is as near unthinkable as it gets in American politics. Not the least of which they know torches and pitchforks will follow. And what President would even want to be in office under such a cloud? Prior to this one I'd have said "none". There have been instances of "faithless electors" who went rouge and voted how they liked. In fact in 2016 Democrats were begging for Republican electors to install Hillary. But what Trump is doing is so much worse. This isn't people asking for a favor. This is a President discussion collaborating with a Legislature to take power unelected. Like I said. Horrifying. Incidentally many states are passing laws to prevent faithless electors. The Supreme Court has already said this is OK. I agree. As for what kind of a pardon Trump might be hoping for, there are still numerous court cases. some with criminal implications, going against him. But what he really fears I think is IRS trouble and things that may come to light after he is gone.

Wasn't there an Eddie Murphy movie where he gets elected like that?

Have you noticed the size of the berries and acorns? How large do you propose this Growing station should be in order to allow a plant that produces fruit of that size? However, growing grass could be nice for areas where there is none at all. And maybe having grass fiber turn into dry grass after a couple of days would be a nice addition as well for areas without that.

After watching Mandalore's breakdown of Mystery of the Droods, it seems probable that having a supreme jerkface adventure game protagonist is an iconic German thing.

It makes sense in that it sort of parallels the role of speakers in any audio system. The work of all the electronics earlier in the chain can only ever be as good as the output device at the end of it allows. Most of the rest of your system simply exists to allow for the monitor to display the best image it possibly can. However there is a caveat in that monitor technology is magnitudes more volatile than speaker technology. Great speakers are things that will serve you for decades, and indeed likely serve your children. Great displays, not so much. Whether or not you think OLED or some alternative technology is the future, current backlit LCD technology and its attendant issues like uniformity is getting really long in the tooth. I would not personally be prepared to spend a whole lot on any LCD product with that in mind, despite having done so in the past.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Since this update it has corrupted my game saves regardless of which save i try loading it always loads the same one from a week ago even though the saves I made yesterday are still there and the one it does actually load its a weird morph of the one from a week ago and with the burgle challenges i was working on yesterday but all my pond crafted gear is gone everything was working fine after 0.4.1 just 0.4.2 now has messed up the saves have done the usual hard reset on the console just not sure what yo do next without loosing all my progress, cheers, keep ip the good work . Edit: just tried playing through one of the saves to see how much was lost and seems everything I built or stored after 0.4.1 is still there just the inventory has reset to what i had a week ago and my location ( the save was at my base near the oak tree yet it keeps spawning me near the etch a sketch that i was building a new base at a week ago ) so it’s only the pond stuff i hav in my inventory that appears lost atm.

A sequel to the Keanu Reeves Constantine is coming out it seems. I think I'm one of the few people who liked the movie.

306 "landslide" HA! Good Fun!

You give them your gamer tag and they can recover it that way. If you're on a pc it's saved locally and in the cloud.

Yup, that's Evangelion, but on following watchthroughs I personally liked it more. Shinji is the original emo kid that is going through puberty. The only thing I never understood was why at the end Asuka says "how disgusting", the most popular theory her becoming aware of what Shinji did while she was in the hospital. Now you have to watch the Rebuild of Evangelion for further mind****ery.

Going up to Dyersburg to do some landscaping on my lot up there. I got a nasty letter from the city. Well, it HAS been a while.

Updated. It says giveaway, but I'm actually taking your souls. No hard feelings?

A bit of news from my old country... for those who don't know, Mink (and fur production) is big business in Denmark. Turned out that Covid19 could infect mink and that created a new, mutated strain named Cluster 5, which is resistant to antibodies that works against Covid19. I.e. effectively a mutant strain that would ignore vaccines against Covid19. Looks like Danish scientists came up with a vaccine that is also effective against this new variant. "Early studies of the mutated virus strain, known as Cluster 5, showed the virus to have a reduced sensitivity towards antibodies, possibly compromising the efficacy of future vaccines, authorities said last week. But antibodies from rabbits treated with an early-stage vaccine candidate from Denmark’s State Serum Institute (SSI) successfully beat down the Cluster 5 variant, according to Anders Fomsgaard, a leading scientist at SSI, which deals with infectious diseases. “We couldn’t resist testing the rabbit antibodies we have against Cluster 5, and it works,” Fomsgaard told Danish broadcaster DR on Thursday." https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2020/11/12/vaccine-works-against-covid-mink-mutation-in-early-testing And in more local news (from my pov), The state of Victoria has now had 0 new cases the last 14 days. Looks like the draconian lock down measures did the job.

They'd have three steps to fulfill in order to get GOG approval and announce keys 1) Technically up to spec (and with enough appeal to be worthwhile) 2) Agreement on terms and release date, coordination with GOG marketing 3) Approved key gen They would have to have all three confirmed/ approved in order to announce backer keys, and while that might take some time there is still 3 weeks until Dec 3rd and the one that would take time is largely irrelevant since the game's been on Epic for a year already. In the end that process simply illustrates the difference between a curated store and an anything goes shovelware emporium like steam where anyone can stick nearly anything up with minimal oversight; they know they'll have Steam keys etc because everyone/ anyone can get them under Steam's licence agreement including them. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't on GOG, but an announcement 3 weeks early for a previously released game would also be very unusual, and any announcement would as per 2 have to be co-ordinated with GOG marketing too. Even if they think they'll get them they can't say it pre-emptively in case they don't.

Was watching k-drama "Live Up to Your Name" on Netflix. Fairly decent time-travel hospital/romance/comedy that bounces between modern and past Korea timelines. The male lead Kim Nam Gil is one of those "1000 expressions" types where he's equally at home doing absurd/cute comedy one second but serious melodrama the next. So I looked him up and ... now I'm watching "The Fiery Priest" via Viki. Which is even better. Same dramedy style but no romance. Just a hot-tempered, ex super-agent turned Priest looking for vengeance against city corruption. It's hilarious (in spots) and occasionally bits of action are so over the top I'm in stitches. Although most of the time it's not *this* overtly silly.

As the title says, the Threat Engage sound need to be seperated from the music in the audio settings. I like to mute the music when playing and really listen to the sounds of the game. However, if I do this, I will not be alerted of an imminent threat. I would like to suggest two seperate sliders in the audio-settings. One for music and one for alerts.

I'm sure you guys are completely ruining Putin's day with all these legal updates... what's a poor autocrat to do without his sock puppet running a rival country into the ground. Instead of being able to sic them on each other, he'll have to deal with both China and The US at the same time

My liver is starting to tell me to go F myself so I guess it's time for me to quit....for good I'll spare you the gruesome details but sometimes you never notice your liver is ailing until you engage in some kind of activity that triggers it. I used to know a guy, he died in car crash. If he wasn't a raging alcoholic he certainly would have survived but the crash ruptured what was left of his liver and he died on the spot. True story.

Yeah that generation seems to be dying off pretty rapidly lately. I'm just imaging him and Bernie keeling over at any moment. We'd have a black female cop as POTUS. Wouldn't that trigger elements of both parties? Democratic Party extremists hate cops and Republican Party extremists hate women and people of color.
