  1. Ignore him. That isn't Skarpen. Obviously it is ANTIFA pretending to be Skarpen. *sagely nod* I am a leftist, I would know. It was in our weekly briefing.

  2. What it says on the tin, it's quite fun hearing the designer of some of the past decades most awesome looking cars(Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Ferrari F430, Maserati Quattroporte, Maserati GranTurismo, McLaren MP4-12C, McLaren P1 to name a few) talk about the design of Cyberpunks vehicles!

  4. Yeah no idea really. Even my mother in law who's a medical doctor (70 years old) thought about not getting vaccinated - because she's afraid of yet undiscovered long-term side effects. I mean what are the odds that a side effect of a mRNA-vaccination will be more severe than an infection (which is likely to happen) at that age? Luckily she thought it over after some talks with her children (who all have 2 or more kids themselves) and now she will get vaccinated. My own parents who used to be blue-collar workers and didn't receive higher eduction would get vaccinated asap though. Weird times...

  5. Yesterday a friend here in Greece said: "Yes, but Biden is an alleged pedophile." To which his wife replied: "He is???" "Well, he has never been convicted, but would he be? You do read it a lot online though."

  6. Given PL scaling a good early damaging ability like "Thrice..." can't really become weak in the late game, can it? I mean besides immunity issues which should not be a problem in this case. I think Skeletons are underrated. They do very poor damage in most cases and especially in the later game because while their stats do scale their weapons (poor swords) do not - which leads to severe underpenetration very quickly. Thus they hit like wet noodles. But they have engagement slots! Thus they can be seen as a steerable/controllable CC effect: they will reliably stop enemies from approaching (if you didn't opt out of movement cancellation on engagement in the game options menu), block melees and present cannon fodder for ranged enemies, too. And if they die they will at least provide two replacements (which are not controllable but still). You just shouldn't look at them as damaging tools. They are very bad in that regard. If I would play a dedicated tank who focuses on soaking damage and do support I wouldn't raise PER and I wouldn't use Thrice wSW or any offensive invocation. Summons can be a good substitute to direct CC (skeletons engage, whisps are great interrupters with unlimited knockdown uses) and damaging (wyrms, later animated weapons etc.) invocations without the need for any investment into accuracy and PER. Thrice wSW is a really good invocation but I don't think it's a mandatory pick - especially not for a supportive, non-aggressive tank.

  7. Not really, and definitely not the same as cheesing Barring Death's Door with an infinite Salvation of Time loop. Playing Easy with no buffs is not the same as playing PotD with the buffs. Give it a try and you'll see (you can even do that with the same save game—save before entering the area with the fight, then do the fight on easy. Reload, collect the bonuses, switch to PotD and go into the same fight again.) Keeping all per-rest bonuses with a mod is no different from doing a no-rest run to keep them. It just removes the inconvenience (and inconvenience is not the same as difficulty or challenge; if you have to resort to inconveniencing the player in order to create a challenge, you may want to rethink your design approach.) YMMV, of course

  8. am thinking bruce should at least reconsider using an unprecedented attack on the US Capitol by trump supporters, including individuals now identified as being white supremacists and diehard qanon members, as a transparent excuse to resurrect his equine necrosis gripe 'bout how individual municipalities and cities handled their protests this summer. the alt-right and denialist trump supporters is using a tactic from the putin/ussr playbook to distract as they grab for issues meant to change the topic from the lurid events o' the day. am not believing bruce self identifies with such corrosive elements, but he is nevertheless engaged in tactics of evasion and misdirection. bruce may discuss whatever he wants, but am thinking he should at least reflect on what his dogged pursuit o' the summer protest topic says 'bout him given the events o' January 6. if the story o' the day were 'bout how a young woman walking home from church was brutal murdered by white supremacist and you saw a fellow poster trying to change subject to just how many people are killed by non-whites each year, you would recognize such as transparent and offensive distraction, no? there is individuals on this board who reflexive indulge in whataboutism and they are hopeless. am not thinking bruce is hopeless. take a moment and reflect. there is a time and place for discussing the summer protests. you had plenty o' opportunities to debate blm protests during the summer and you will have many chances to do so in the future, but genuine consider if you wanna be lumped in with the kinda folks who is trying to distract from the events o' January 6. is your choice. HA! Good Fun!

  9. I saw like a few minutes of Queen's Gambit so I can't judge it, but if Taylor-Joy brought even a quarter of what she did to the VVitch then it'd probably be worth watching. First tho I'm going to dive into Sweet Home and see how K-horror works in a tv show.

  11. Hah, most people here have been voicing concerns about this crap for years. Welcome to the party. Did you complain about the attempts to ban TikTok last year? It would be pretty humorous if Trump takes his act there after spending last year threatening to ban it in the US. I'm pretty much anti-censorship full time. Government led or corporate led. Of course I also believe there is the proper platform for different types of speech. If people want to turn Parler into a conservative echo chamber, then no skin off my nose. Within certain legal bounds, of course. If you use it to organize acts of violence, that is a different story. Hence the current debate.

  14. As far as I know stacking different food bonuses can still be achieved (at least it used to be possible before 5.0 and wasn't in the patch notes) by pausing before hitting the rest button. So I assume @AndreaColombo's mod enables this too, but let's be real: Downloading and using a mod like this doesn't force you to abuse it. The original intent was convenience, if you use it to make it more convenient to stack different food bonuses (hitting pause before resting IS extremely inconvenient after all :P) then all power to you, but the mod did not enable the possibility of doing this, that is entirely in the game engine.

  15. Eh - Animated Weapons are powerful, not just "decent enough". You shouldn't use auto-attacks with summons whenever possible - because their attack abilities DO scale. Best example is the Dragon summon whose auto-attacks are bad but whose attack abilities (breath and tail lash) are pretty good because of "internal" PL scaling (I mean the PL of the Dragon, not the summoner). Most summons do not scale well - some however do. Not with the summoner's Power Level but with the character level.

  16. You have to admire some of the asian countries and some like New Zealand that stopped the pandemic with swift concerted and mutual action of society and government.

  17. Yes but you need to accept you have been part of the failure of the Polish governments attempt to slowdown the virus spread. You cant blame your government for the large Xmas party your family decided to have which you knew went against global virus advice as these large events spread the virus as people are in close contact. But this is not about your decision only, I am sure many Polish families had large Xmas parties if they could so the spread of the virus is about the failure of the whole society and your government plays a part Your county is the same as most of our countries, we have also failed to stop the virus spread and we are dealing with "second\third " waves

  18. The average incident in Poland is nearly the same as in Germany. Thus it's reasonable to expect the same excess mortality. Sadly Poland is no part of EuroMomo so I can't quickly get reliable and comparable numbers but I would be very surprised if mortality rates among the elderly would differ that much with the same incident. This article comes to the same conclusion basically: https://notesfrompoland.com/2020/10/29/record-numbers-of-death-certificates-show-hidden-victims-of-pandemic-in-poland/ Vaccination: The point was about nursing staff not wanting to get vaccinated. Those who care for the elderly specifically. If they don't get vaccinated they will endanger the lives of those they care for. And that's reckless and bad. If you as a healthy individual with no preconditions and contact to endangered people don't want to get vaccinated because you fear unknown side effects I can understand. But I cannot understand if you're medical or nursing staff. That's a bit like a surgeon who refuses to disinfect his hands because he's afraid of dry skin.

  20. What you should have said is that you underestimated the pandemic; showing a spine, owning your mistake. It has its merits. One of Germany's leftist gouvernors (Thüringen) admitted that he totally underestimated this pandemic. A conservative one (Sachsen) said the same after he visited some hospitals in Sachsen-Anhalt last week. They are truly sorry for advocating for soft measures instead for hard (but short) ones. And people applaud them for admitting they were wrong. It's not a political issue. It's about grit in the face of personal failure. Digging just a deeper hole just to avoid admitting a mistake on the other hands has no merit. If you're medically educated you should be able to follow the scientific publications around the mRNA vaccines which all indicate nearly no side effects - and if then mostly from additional constituents - that are all known. Also the millions of vaccinated people in the UK and Isreal who showed no severe side effects should comfort you. But I'm not surprised that you are surprised. You haven't shown a whole lot of reasonable thoughts in the past - so why start now...?

  21. My biggest problem with full VO is precisely what you describe: all text has to be locked before you can do it. It makes rewriting a huge hassle. Rewriting should be a possibility right until the end, just like it is in publishing.

  24. I have been following the discussion with great interest so far. Thanks guys. Since I do take Eder as the main tank, I think I can be a bit more 'adventurous' with my chanter And yes I agree getting interrupted while trying to do a strong summon would be a pain in the butt. Got a good general idea of it now, time to try some stuff out ^^

I like his style, really down to earth and unglamorous. Seems like hes doing it because he really has something to say, not just to get clicks or whatever.
