Did anyone else's peace of mind go up somewhere between mildly and significantly after Biden got into office and didn't immediately reveal himself to be a two-bit wannabe dictator with an IQ of 2? Short of the U.S. collapsing tomorrow after we default, you're not gonna take that away from me no matter how many times times you say "Biden bad" - I've earned this respite after the last 4 years, thank you very much!

To be fair, if I was married to Milla Jovovich, I would also be happy just making movies that show off her butt.

Parents gotta parent sometime.

Now that's a reference that will leave a lot of people confused. For anyone wondering: Officer Crabtree (One of the best bits of acting I've seen in anything was him singing in that atrocious accent while mispronouncing every word and playing the piano. I have difficulty doing one of those at a time)

Andrew Lloyd Webber has become so attached to his pup Mojito during the pandemic that he said he needed to figure out how they could be together always, even on the plane when he travels to America. He said: “I wrote off and said I needed him with me at all times because I’m emotionally damaged and I must have this therapy dog. “The airline wrote back and said, ‘Can you prove that you really need him?’ “And I said ‘Yes, just see what Hollywood did to my musical Cats.’ “Then the approval came back with a note saying, ‘No doctor’s report required.’”

Sh...tuff happens. We have a colleage at work who used to have a profile picture that looked like a young man, with a unisex first name, and I once wrote to a customer that mister <name> would be their point of contact. Turned out mister <name> is actually a woman. Yeah, possibly, I haven't checked yet. Yeah, back when that first Proton-UI update hit. I think the waste of space of the tab bar is one of the things that's no longer reversible, but I might misremember from the last time I fiddled with the settings. That's possible, it's not a topic I often get into because it's really hard to explain why I'm liking Blackadder but not Monty Python that much. Even I have no clue why. Maybe there's some form of unconscious bias going on. Indeed there are, like free lunch.

And with that attitude you'll never know.

LOL! Fair enough. Feckless incompetence is preferable to what we got under the orange menace. I’m just hoping for a day when it’s not a “lesser evil“ choice. Not holding my breath.

I heard her pronounce Minako's name and I turned it off. A little piece of irrational hatred for something completely inconsequential for this Unicorn of War, . ...Plus, I think I got a pretty good idea of her shtick by that point anyways.

Looks like new events in the case of Avellone happened few days ago. I am sorry for linking from this site, but I was not able to find report about the outcome on any of the sites, which led crusade against him, yet https://nichegamer.com/avellone-accuser-motion-to-strike-denied/

MPC-HC >>> VLC ...But you're probably very resistant to change, so I'm not even gonna bother trying to argue that particular one, especially since VLC still ultimately gets the job done, .

They are, more than double those figures, when you include sponsors and donations.

Who else thinks that adding a beastiary would be cool. you could document all the different enemies (journal entries would be added once you kill the insect them for the first time and entries for creatures like the koi fish would be found in labs), and each journal entry could have a brief description of the insect as well as what environments it prefers and maybe once you kill enough of the same insect, the entry would update to add weaknesses (for example, if you kill 3 soldier ants, the entry would update to say that soldier ants will be neutral if you are wearing full ant armor). what do you guys think?

IMHO, there are better suited platforms for such a content than Twitch, I bet no one would be critisizing amouranth, if she would in her pigeon outfit copulate with her mic on the Hub

Where did the term "scaredy cat" really come from? I mean.. cats...

It's a real drag I got close to the end but messed something up and decided I was done rather than going back to earlier save

Most people I know can slide their fingers over the keyboard and be coherent. When I try, it either doesn't start or gives me something ùnineties

There is that too. Sadly even in my country that is more and more the case. I'm pretty sure it started with teachers not being able to discipline kids anymore. The schools lost a lot of power and the parents never picked up the slack. Which is not to say that schools were good before, you had a lot of **** who never should have been teachers, but now I think it's even worse.

I could be home playing my game but instead hubby is dragging me to Sac because he is still curious if he would like to buy there. I am already bored. ...also, finger typing on a phone will never not suck

Some day I will master the skill of effective communication

I know what ASMR is, I guarantee you that the majority of the viewers tuning in weren't there for the audio. As long as she's not breaking Twitch's TOS (I can't be arsed to look them up), more power to her, God bless. However, you know what this is, I know what this is, let's not pretend it's something that it isn't. It's a pin up girl on your screen very thinly veiled as "ASMR".

Glad you liked it) Re brightness: yeah, it's fairly easy to adjust it to your taste. Personally I compare it vs the following "control group": ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Btw, I have updated the MQ Portraits Pack. These are the newly included portraits: All water-colored.

Oh gosh. I listened to his voice and was like "that's a girl, right? ...or is it? no, it's gotta be a girl, how could it not be, although...nah". Check yourself before you wreck yourself, kids. Yeah, pretty sure. See, that's exactly what I feared would happen and is why I froze my Firefox in time, and even kept a copy of the last (offline) installer before that update. There used to be a Firefox classic extension that could take you back to the styles of even older versions, I'm sure someone will make something to go back to the previous version...sooner or later. I think I wrote literally all of the same complaints you just wrote when the update initially happened (plus maybe a couple of others) in the "what did you do today" thread. Good to see the changes I hated haven't changed, . I recall you saying you're just not a Monty Python person? That would probably explain why you haven't watched it, given its lack of appeal to you.

Good Fun! ps current haven't played for almost a week. got what looks like 1/3 through the enigma map, with nothing else to do for our current angel inquisitor save threshold, and am kinda unable to summon the will to press forward with nenio's quest. on the positive side o' the ledger, a recent patch quiet fixed the inability to use ranged weapons in tb mounted combat, which means our lann build now works as designed. huzzah.

Holy crap, you can use append to remove abilities? That's amazing for modularity, will be hella useful if ever I want to swap out abilities in the future.

You need to believe in your junk.

Nightmare gets pretty difficult without passable gear but is at least doable, while Hell gets pretty extreme - huge resistances malus (-90) that makes you melt to most elemental attacks when you don't have piles of resistance gear, and not enough damage output can be pretty tedious...which is another reason I would only play the regular game with a sorceress to start without gear, since they're the least gear-dependent, .

Yeah, but instead of using it for a bit more (single target) damage it is - in my experience - often better to use it with hard CC. Especially on PotD where defenses of enemies are higher and health pools are bigger. A hard CC does "take out" a certain enemy right away no matter the health pool and buys you a lot of time. In case of mind control (dominate for example) you not only take out the enemy for some time but also gain sort of a summon. Sure, the added crit damage and PEN from assassinate won't matter at all - but the higher ACC (maybe even combined with other ACC buffs) makes it so much more likely to actually hit even high defense targets (and those are usually the most worthwhile to turn). So I would argue that Assassin itself is very useful - but in this example (Maia as Ranger/Assassin) it's not that impactful. You might be able to take out the first threat a bit earlier - but what about the second and third? PEN aside imo it's more impactful to use all that Guile for 3 Crippling Strikes (300% all-multiplicative dmg) instead of 1 Smoke Veil and 1 Crippling Strike (+50% additive dmg, +200% additive if Backstab is used from point blank). There's one thing about assassinating with something like an arquebus though: high numbers per hit are just fun. And fun is important, right? I can see Assassinate on a target with Takedown Combo be really cool. Use Dragon's Dowry from stealth/invisibility after you AC used Takedown Combo and the target should be in real trouble. But thinking about a fun and more effective way to use a Ranger/Assassin... what about using it with Thorny Roots? High Chance of immobilizing a whole bunch of enemies right away for a rel. long time and doing decent AoE dmg, too (+4 PEN might be what this ability needed). Stop them, then shoot them. Doesn't sound too shabby to me. Has anybody tried?

Almost?

Every time I see the words Steam Deck I think this guy named it:

anyone said "gender pay gap"?

Very surprising. I ignore them most of the time and just fast forward through if I have a progress bar to fill, or turn off the player if I don't. That's a weird peculiarity too, I actually just close VLC and restart it instead of putting the next file in the playlist? Why? Hey, who knows. Feels like putting the next disk/tape in.

Yes. In contrast to KP, I'm content with the show simply feeling like a strange off-brand Miyu, . I think Sailor Moon is the only show where I always let them run, and that's because they were amusing in of themselves, didn't really do much more than tease a very simple premise, and Sailor Moon isn't a show where spoilers really matter one iota. I usually go back and watch them later after I've finished an episode, though it depends on the show in question and how they handle them.

I remember Replaying starcraft original and being amazed at how nothing that story and campaign was. Broodwar is great, but the original campaign is almost amateur feeling

I see what you did there. Is that really saying much? Too bad it's not like the manga where

Not much of a teardown tbh. Didn't even show if the battery was glued and if so how it was glued.

To be honest, I thought they were making more money.

They don't suppress each other because Sworn Enemy gives bonus damage (for your MC only, not the AC) while Marked Prey gives bonus accuracy. Marked Prey does stack with everything afaik (including Zealous Focus). Brand Enemy unlocks Predator's Sense by the way. Which is cool because it's an autohit, has good range, fast cast, no recovery and is quite cheap.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did not get a notification. I went with Watcher Herald, Eder Swashbuckler, Xoti Monk, Tekehu Druid, Aloth Wizard. So far it's going great and at over 100 hours I'm still having a blast.

Hmm another uses for chalk....... Trail markers. Not like the post but like football field (hand egg for non Americans) that you could leave colored paths to and from locations to easier path making as some people are not as spatially aware as others and run just as much risk going to the hedge as they do the big ant hill

Yes, I don't think it will have the appeal of GoT. I rewatched the trailer and here are some thoughts: Tar Valon looks gorgeous, although not as good as the books imply. Things like "buildings that look like frozen waves" and the like would probably be too expensive to make. The Ajah colors are too obvious. Maybe it is the way the chose to show in a visual medium, but iirc only the Reds were like that. Maybe the Blues too? The scene in the Hall makes sense because of its formality, but outside I'd expect more variety. Anyway, nothing too bad. Based on what they revealed so far I'm excited.
