If you ever need a reason to go back to New Vegas: Because let's face it, the only proper way to play that game is Cowboy Crit build with revolvers and the Medicine Stick.

Not ruling it out but it’s way too early for that! But I’m definitely going back up next week. This time she asked me to stay with her. We’ve spoken almost every day!

This thread appears to be lacking a certain something... Oh! I know! Can't believe I'm still playing building stuff in this game. Tried a few others, but always end up coming back to this one for my building fix...

I think natural gas heating is cheaper.

Now that is a life hack.

Not as any advice or such, but it reminded me of a conversation I was in some years back. Some comments made by a few old couples I met on cruises my family went on as a child / teenager, so yes, this might be a couple of decades old now... But I met about half a dozen 60+ couples who all referred to the fact that they found it less expensive to basically book cruises year around rather than deal with the costs associated with retirement homes, care homes, and supporting carers if you lived at home into your old age. They'd quite often book back-to-back cruises on the same ship for a year, then spend a month in a hotel while the ship was doing annual refurbishment and then get back on the ship for a fresh year of world travel. They got better meals, better service, came to know the crew quite well, and didn't have to worry on half the things they would if they stayed with their families.

Probably WI.

Baked trout with sautéed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. It was pretty good all things considered, but I wish I would have used more heat. "just" is doing a lot of work here. Lmao.

Except nobody at all was suggesting that the US is a more repressive state than China, that's just Bruce being his disingenous self. Not being fine with giving our Corporate Overlords the ability to assume direct control over our computers (which is what Zoraptor expressed, in part) has nothing to do with approving repressive policies or genocide. Here's the one time the slippery slope argument makes sense, and nobody's using it because "China way worse" - which is really true, but by far and large also irrelevant to criticisms of US espionage and security equipment compromising backdoors. Like I said, I don't want Microsoft to be able to restrict what I can do on my computers. I also don't want to live in China, and I don't approve of their politics. These are not mutually exclusive. Also, wat, how are you of all people not concerned about the government's ability to spy on you willy nilly, or dicate what you can or cannot do on any electronic device you have? Do you trust them to not abuse the ability to do so? Bruce sure does. I don't... nobody should. Unless I misread you, then I apologize in advance.

So, base game has strengthened bond working correctly. First version of yours made double strengthened bond on the pet. Or adds a new strengthened bond that stacked with defensive bond maybe ? New version let the old strengthened bond but have a new item that only exists to remove defensive bond. Just to be sure I got it. Edit : anyway, it works. Version 1.5.0 is on the way. Edit edit : Version 1.5.0 is live. It only merges the content of Highest priority package into Buffs package, which removes the special loading instructions.

That link doesn't work for some reason (it always redirects to some, uhm, other picture). Was Star Wars'ed (fixed in editing ). But yes, the context the quote came up in applies in full for Love Live! and its fans, although K-On! and Love Live! share a writing credit to which the similarities can be traced back to, but writing decent or good episodes for one show doesn't mean you come up with good ones or good ideas for others. Just look at the Utena episodes and Sailor Stars, they shared like half the writers. Very much. K-On! has a few weird things* in its first season, but that's over fairly quickly, and in the second season it's finally put to rest when Mio knocks out Sawako. K-On! was genuinely funny at times, heartwarming at others, and very occasionally somewhat sad. It's something silly you turn on for a bit of a good time, nothing too serious. The biggest hurdles really are the weird things in the first season, and getting through Yui's and Ritsu's constant overacting phase. The show really improves its balance after a few episodes. Before K-On!, I didn't exactly enjoy Love Live!, but at least I didn't actively dislike it. It got some laughs here and there, and that episode where Kotori almost leaves for a different school has a very ripped-off-from-Sailor-Moon vibe, but it was a nice enough episode. Now... I don't know. Maybe the two episodes were just bad, but the feeling that I'm watching a worse version of something that I found genuinely funny and actually great at times (not often, but every now and then) is always there and doesn't seem to go away. edit: Love Live! is really strange. The last five minutes of the episode suddenly stop being about this ridiculous weight loss plot and become about Honoka, Kotori and Umi making a mistake with the student council budget requests and working hard to find a compromise. It had a funny joke, a fun ending and it led to some character growth. It's like a SuperS** episode that would be genuinely good if you'd just remove Pedosus from it. *That I mentioned already, anyway. Like Sawako pulling Mio's pants down for no reason (well, the "reason" is that she got dumped on Christmas). Wait a minute, let me check something. Nope. That epsiode was actually written by the series main writer, not the guy who later made Love Live!. **I just realized that you could just pronounce that Super-Ass and... yeah. SuperAss. I think that'll be the term for SuperS in the future.

I'm just going to pretend Love Live! is a fever dream you had.

I actually took a screenshot of this. Sure, there's more context...but the context just makes it a little more applicable in regards to Love Live! and the people who showed up to that concert, . So...in other words, skip Love Live!, watch K-On, right? (e): Stupid link re-directs because it's some piece of crap website. Fixed.

My mind came up with a reply to that, something that would have went along the lines of expecting more from you than an out of context quote on a meme, but cutting you some slack because you pepper-poisoned yourself and are clearly not thinking straight yet. However... at the end of the Halloween episode, Honoka's sister finds a letter in Honoka's room. She started tidying up because she was looking for a manga volume, and her sister's shelf is a mess. That is a joke taken 1:1 from K-On!, and Yui's lost manga volume is actually in the club room at school. Because she's nosy, she reads what's on the page, and is shocked. Oh my, what an unexpected development, what could have happened? Has Honoka secretly kept failing exams? Did she get into trouble at school? Anything interesting? Well... Turns out at the start of the very next episode, Honoka's sister shows it to her mother, who reacts equally shocked that... (spoiler is more for effect than "spoiling" this) Yes, so that's all. Yeah. Trash. It's all trash.

I have been recycling wooden forks from fast food joints. Turning them into cute cats. Made four so far And just finished framing one of them with a quick sketch of the Acropolis as a background. Now I need to do a few more sketches for the others, then get started on the cats friends commissioned. It is funny. All I wanted to do was not throw so much stuff away; feel less guilty about all the garbage. And now people are asking if I can paint cats for them as well. A friend even asked if I am considering doing this for money...

Guess where Trump won the election in 2016: the rust belt.

That's one hell of a heel turn.

@Oner You got me watching the cinematics again...

November 7 baby

Sounds like you have your dream home. If you are really considering it though, my advice would be to start looking at places/houses and see what's out there and if there's anything that grabs you and would make sense financially. You're in no hurry.

That is amazing! I have been to senior living condominiums in assisted-living places before and they are seriously depressing. This sounds like anything but.

I don’t know. I’ve never really thought about it. When I bought this place I had this idea of a completely self-sufficient property. A home that could generate its own electricity, grow its own food, supply its own water. I sort of have that. Not 100% but pretty close. Well it was a lot of work though. I can’t imagine I would ever want to live inside of a city limits again. Traffic, city ordinances, noise, meddlesome homeowners association‘s, crime, I never have to worry about any of that. It’s quiet here. Peaceful. My front porch faces east and my back porch faces west. I can sit and watch the sunrise in the morning and watch it set in the evening. There is no artificial light for miles and you’ve never seen more stars than I see here every night. I hear coyotes down in Anderson Tully. Crows gather in squawk along the tree line following the creek. There is an owl that comes around and hangs out in the tree over the workshop. She seemed to be fascinated by whatever Sunny was doing when she used to patrol around the garden in the evening. Sunny and Tommy’s final resting places are here, down by the creek. I don’t know how I could ever walk away. But if that guy was right and I got even close to what he said we could get I could retire right now. very conflicted

Uh, Wisconsin is cold in the winter... Just make sure you experience that before you uproot.

Would you downgrade to a smaller house or buy something cheaper?

Never considered it before to be honest. But I moved here from FL. So it’s been done before

Very interesting, so they took a movie that was never finished and released for whatever reason and ADR'd the missing audio? Vinegar Syndrome has a good reputation in taking old forgotten B movies and putting out high quality transfers, plus this sort of kung fu exploitation looking movie is exactly my jam. Color me excited.

I am a big fan of the US. I actually think all these flag waving MAGA folks are missing how great this country really is. They are so hyperfocused on Trump and how their rights are under attack. The reality is American Democracy is incredibly strong right now. People are voting in tremendous numbers and voting for change when they aren't happy. These recent elections were tremendous from a turnout perspective. The loudest folks just weren't happy with the result.

you should check out that link in my post the tl;dr is that mig is less relevant because of essentially a math bug. because ApplyOnTime is so weird, the game has to figure out a per-tick damage, and it divides your MIG bonus by the number of base ticks, and then accidentally divides it again by the number of ticks. So your might bonus is significantly diluted by the base duration of the effect. Intellect and PL scaling work normally though.

Oh I wasn’t commenting about anything in particular that has been discussed. Just responding to Bruce in general. I have heard a lot of stupid stuff said about the United States here and elsewhere. I’ve even said a few of them myself.

I have no idea what the show is.. but that is so relatable.

The downside of working only 40 hour work weeks, too much time to read news related stuff and watch youtube 😝 Edit: This is from '60 Minutes' (Australia)

In case anyone is wondering, I have been avoiding major spoiler pics. Hence mostly chr/scenery. ...that's probably enough picture-spam from me for one week tho. I want to get farther into the game faster. 😄

Became slightly fed up with HUD and downloaded the Nexus mod to toggle it on/off. It also removes game menu elements, hence toggling it constantly, or only off when you want screens/videos. Anyway, combat is still visual chaos but at least you can get a few combat animation shots now and then without the GIANT TEXT of skill name plastered over them. Or the mini-map. Or ... But without a photomode, normal combat stuff is mostly dull to screen (plus I'd have to cheat hard so I could observe it). Too far away, not visceral enough for me. Mostly they'd look like below, and that's taking stills from sifting thru 4k video frame by frame. Oh well, plenty of nice scenery and stuff here and there, instead!

This is definitely aping Betrayal at Krondor. Can it be anywhere near as good?

So I sacrificed Kana to the blood pool in POE1. And in POE2, I wanted to TELL his sister what I did to him, before sacrificing her on the altar. The problem is that once you tell Maia that you dissolved Kana into a grotesque pool of living blood, she leaves. Is there no way to let Maia KNOW what happened to Kana AND sacrifice her to Skaen? I was also wondering how many siblings Kana and Maia has in total. If there is a POE3, can I finish the job? Or would they have to make POE4+5 too or something? I mean, maybe this is a bit psychopathic I don't know. But I thought it would be kinda funny, in a dark humor kinda way, to sacrifice Kana's entire sibling flock to Skaen.

Yep! We bring each other stuff if we think the other person would like it.

Aumaua Mou Shindeiru A monk build inspired by Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. Yes, I’m immensely proud of this name. If you're not familiar with Fist of the North Star, this might be kinda alienating. But I've linked most of my references so you can be in on the joke with me. ❤️ Difficulty: Story Time Race: Coastal Aumaua Class: Monk Party: Solo Name: The name of this build actually fits just within the Character limit. Do with this information what you will. Attributes: Notes: Background: Rauatai - Drifter Skills: Notes: Equipment: Abilities: Talents: Faction/General Talents: Bonus: Portraits I handcrafted these portraits just for this build.
