I've been binging the Boondocks and it's almost embarrassing to pick up on stuff I didn't really get when I was a kid. Overall I think it's aged pretty well, some characters feel like they could seamlessly fit in our world today. I'm officially in the Obsidian Forums Sailor Moon watch group. Only one episode in right now but it's fun. I don't think I've been watching live action series much lately. Maybe I'll give Lupin a spin.

Good to remember as people worry about a tax rate that won't affect 90% of us.

The causes of Furlan’s death were not made public, but Babylon 5 creator Straczynski hinted that the actress was sick for some time. In the Twitter post with which her death was announced, we read the touching words of Mira Furlan: “I look at the stars. It is a clear night and the Milky Way seems so close. That’s where I’ll go soon. ‘We are all star stuff,’ suddenly I remember Delenn’s line from Joe’s script. Not a bad prospect. I’m not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and feel the beauty around me. And take a breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Exhale. That’s all”.

You just answered your own question. Welcome to the real world. The anarchist party is still open for applications I once set up "Chicken" as a third currency in a customers ERP system while testing exchange rates between British Pounds, Euros and... chickens. Luckily the customer could see the funny side of it and no, they didn't offer to pay their suppliers in chickens.

Ive read that one of Sputnik 5 side effects is +5 resistance to vodka. So if thats your drink you might want to choose an alternative.

Is this the Sailor Moon forums now?

A Giddy Anthony Fauci Says It’s “Liberating” Not to Work for an Ignorant Moron Who Lies About Everything All the Time HA! Good Fun!

Hah! Good catch! I didn't know that this is possible. I guess in this case it is possible because the conversion from graze to hit is an effect on the character and the hit to crit effect is attached to the enemy. Makes sense now that I think a bit more about it. The conversion on the enemy works for everyone who does an attack roll against them - the game logic doesn't check whether those attacks were already converted or not. At least that's what I guess. Anyway: good to know. It's crazy how you can play this rel. old game for thousands of hours and read a ton of stuff here in the forums and elsewhere - and yet something new pops up every now and then.

You actually CAN go from graze to crit. I suspect that you need to have paralyze on the enemy.

I just binge watched The Lower Decks. It was ... ok, I guess. Not as bad as I feared, but also not exactly great. Basically it feels like any other such animated tv show from the last two years. Generally it feels very similar to Final Space, but that one is much better, imo. At least it's not as stupid as Picard and STD, etc.

Iirc Smoke Veil is not a free action in TB and only lasts 1 round. So you can't go invisible and then attack from invisibility. Is that correct? You'll need to use Shad. Beyond since that is a free action. That limits the amount of invisibility uses per encounter a bit more. Instead of 5 Smoke Veils you can only use 3 SBs. Devil of Caroc Breastplate can lift you up to 4. Somebody correct me if I'm talking nonsense, I didn't play TB mode and am only repeating what I (think I) read.

I'm not playing in a way that my tank needs to resolve the encounter alone and the rest of the party stands by. Of course the tank will get party support. I didn't think this was an outlandish concept...?

Even one of those book pages - slipped between the sides of the current prologue where Eotahs emerges - that would say something along the lines of "you tried to convince people that the gods were made by kith - but everybody just went 'lol, lmao'" would have sufficed I think.

On this, I agree 100%.

I guess there's a threshold of prettiness, 'cause I'm not experiencing any of this.

this is all well and good but is not actually a part of the Deadfire narrative, so for all intents and purposes is head-canon. deadfire's narrative would be so much more cohesive with poe if they even just had one like minor quest in the early crit path where you DID try to say something about the fakeness of the gods (even just to a companion) and what you're talking about happened. instead, it feels really disjointed from poe1. there are some callbacks about the god artificiality (like two of three of the BoW branches) which makes it all the more baffling that it's a non-factor for the main part of deadfire when it was like THE revelation of poe1.

And there is Tomb Raiding! Like a lot of it so far. What should IMO be the main point of the series, in previews two games felt like the afterthought.

Castlevania is pure awesomeoness. I'd say the fault is yours. Oh, and is that subtle hint that we should take our Sailor Moon discussions elsewhere?

Couple things: Main focus: Dishonored2. I have mixed feeling about it so far. Beautiful as ever, and with my shiny new RTX3070 I don't feel optimisation issues this game is supposed to suffer from. Really creative levels, and Emily's skill set I think is more universally useful for both lethan/non-lethal aggresive/stealthy playstiles, making it very flexible kit. Much more so then Corvo from D1, where going for Low Chaos, meant barely using his skill set outside Blink. I also like how you can knock people unconcious in aggressive ways (melee combat, attack from above). Makes the game more varied then just sneak and choke. That said, narrative so far has been fairly mediocare. I goes through similar beats as D1 but with less convictions. Also trying to top D1 means it's less reliable. Stealth games, I think, work best when they are set in relatable settings - D1, while fantastical, used understandable locations. D2 so far, while presenting really cool locals makes it difficult to relate. Clockwork mantion, which I did yesterday, was quite a showpiece but felt very alien and thefore sneaking wasn't very compelling. D:OS2 - started another playthrough, this time with a friend. As I suspected, I am having a much better time with it in coop, then I had in singleplayer. I also picked up BG3ea, but I didn't spent enough time with it to have an opinion. So far it feels like D&D and Larian design are clashing a bit. I played a bit of Shadow of Tomb Raider - mostly for benchmarking and testing the GPU. That said, I am surprised how much I have been enjoying it. I heared good things about it (or rather things I would like - Lara having personality this time around, more focus on combat&puzzles then mass murder etc.) but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Writing has been pretty good, gameplay flows better and isn't interupted every 5 seconds, and game has patience to build, set up and pay off, rather then constant Bay-noise that was TR1&2 reboots. I will definitely finish it, once I am done with Dish2.

HA! Good Fun!

44 hours into the game, my Troubleshooter company now has its 4th employee, giving me a party of 5 people. Though the ladies are feeling a bit awkward around the new guy because of his fashion sense. Irene is not convinced that he isn't a villain.

Not for me. To keep my immersion I would like to be able to try and romance everyone but always fail

Totally immersive 'cause it's like in real life.

I too was enjoying my monk. I think I'm going to restart with a different race (I picked Human but I want to try Moon Godlike for an easier Act 1). Thanks for your advice! Your nuggets of wisdom are littered literally everywhere in this forum haha.

Here in Serbia we have access to Pfizer, Sputnik V and the whatever the Chinese one is called. People can chose which one they want (online sign-up) and based on availability get one as soon as possible, which seems to be very soon as not a lot of people are signing up. Opinions are split on which one is the best, some like the Chinese one because it takes the classical approach that is "true and tested" of using the dead virus, the news say most have signed up for the Russian one and some want the Pfizer because it's the only one that is acknowledged by the west, they fear that if Corona passports are introduced in the EU they will not be able to travel with the other two.

Unbroken/Trickster would be my personal pick.

Says you! I for one cant wait to whip out a 100T bill:

yogaman28734, are you playing the game via Steam, or did you purchase it via the Apple appstore? I went the latter route, and it took me awhile to figure out how to install mods. This is how I did it: First, open your applications folders. Right click on the Pillars of Eternity II icon, and select the "Show Package Icons" option. Open the "Contents" folder, then the "MacOS" folder. Then once again right click on the Pillars of Eternity II icon, and select the "Show Package Icons" option, and open the "Contents" folder. In this folder, create a new "override" folder, and then place into it the folders that you download and decompress from the Nexus Mods website. This worked for me. If you have a problem decompressing some of the archives from Nexus mods, such as the .rar format, I found that The Unarchiver app available on the Apple appstore works fine. Good luck!

I was sold already! My first solo run was a monk, and the next was a wizard with Nina’s Teachings, Sun & Moon, Whitewitch Mask, etc and both of these builds relied a lot on food and drugs and per-rest abilities. This is so much more fun, and I’m selling food and drugs instead of buying them. (Took me a while to stop grabbing a luminous lobster every time I found one. No more special trips to Sayuka and Dunnage.) Now if I could just figure out how to install the No Forced Rest mod on a Mac — I can’t find a simple answer to that, but the Steam Workshop mods install themselves, if that one was available; it’s not. I ran all the way up to level 18 without using Hylea’s Bounty, because of those forced rests; I took the Dawnstar Blessing too soon and lost it. Anyway, Thanks again.

I don't think people who don't succeed owe any apology or consideration for doing whatever they need to do to survive or thrive.
