  1. The blight has no duration and is very easy to proc with multi hit weapons (and you can proc it even before the fight by shooting yourself with dual blunderbusses and Rakhan Field Boots). With Rekvu's Scorched Cloak you can also have free heals for your cipher until the end of the fight. But of course it's always nice to be able to extend the buff for the entire fight.

  2. ^ I'm always at least a bit curious about a Cumberbatch movie. Then I saw Sam Raimi was directing. Curious immediately went to "interested". At least a little bit.

  3. given the current legal climate, having some kinda insulation 'tween director/production and actors when filming sex scenes would be a reasonable safeguard and we would not be shocked if insures o' big budget films started demanding intimacy consultants or something analogous. HA! Good Fun!

  4. Hm, I was trying to dig up some facts on it, and figuring out where numbers might come from... In 1816 the UK reformed its currency. The gold sovereign, worth 1 GBP was introduced. It contained 7.322 grams of gold. The Feb 2020 price of 1 gram gold is $50.44 USD, so $369.32. There were 20 shillings in the pre-decimal pound sterling. So 1 shilling is $18.47. So 15 shillings would have equalled around $277 for the week. If you want to go by that basis...

  6. Before we go to our beach cottage for Xmas I am staying at my dads place. They bought this house before my sister was born who is 30 so they lived here for about 35 years. My dad since retiring has dedicated his life to conservation and has turned the garden into a 100% indigenous environment where literally every tree and plant is local to SA and their is no alien vegetation. Here are some photos of the garden, the house and the dogs waiting at the gate

  8. It's probably going to be fairly likely all productions will opt to have this position, as the consultant is supposed to make sure the actors and crew are all on the same page with what is being done and what is being filmed.

  9. I caught up on WoT last night. I still like it. The story is, obviously, becoming fairly different in the details from the books. But most of the beats are still there. The character interactions (which were not in the books like that) are pretty interesting. I see a lot of folks online raging about the liberties taken with characters and story but I don't see the big deal. The showrunners have not s--t all over the source material and then ran it off a cliff the way GoT did so I'm still happy with it.

  10. from our second favorite tv christmas special, which am embarrassed to admit we only discovered recent having never read the discworld books and discouraged by the typical sky1 craptacular production values, am offering the following yuletide message: the reality o' christmas is its least important quality and complete beside the point. whether is santa or baby jesus don't matter neither. krampus? fine. if you believe there is meaning in christmas, then there is. oh, and our #1 tv christmas special is not the star wars wookie thing. am waiting for the day when the little match girl is done such that am satisfied, although one suspects the hans christian andersen tale is gonna have too much o' a religious taint for @Gorthto appreciate even with the danish pedigree. HA! Good Fun!

  14. My sister has been dating her boyfriend for 6 years, he is great. Very different to me and my brothers, he doesnt talk much but if you ask him something he normally responds constructively and makes sense ....unlike me When I moved to Cpt him and I have been drinking by ourselves and he is great fun and very agreeable and he loves his social drinking...like me so we get on very well Anyway he proposed to my sister today on the beach and in the rain and it was very romantic and sweet. So we all very happy and I have a new brother in law and I can go to another wedding which I love because at most weddings I attend nowadays their are always single women, great food and free alcohol ....what could be better

  15. The boys had flaws in the books. If you want to argue their flaws aren't a detriment to them often enough, I could easily make the same argument about Egwene.

  16. ^ For some reason I read that last line as "the horse and the dogs waiting at the gate" and which led to "that sure is a tiny horse." A lovely looking house/garden. =========== I created/added a few more boxes to the pile in the living room as well as other small things like fans, lamps, mini-shelves that can be taken up this weekend. Thus I can now tell myself I have done something "productive" ... and go back to playing 7 Days to Die.

  17. somebody really needs new material. qq or the equivalent? check. accusations o' being cyberstalked? check (such is a curiously qq complaint btw) retreat to some banal deflection effort after failing to address initial observation regarding lack o' self-awareness (bad commies & good ubi)? check. etc. education required. same exact pattern is being followed w/o any improvement or even change. am indeed troubled by lack o' education o' our fellow americans during these trying times. ah well, in before the warnings from the responsible adults. HA! Good Fun!

  19. am knowing how that ends. we have attempted the teach a man to fish approach, but some folks never get past the stage where they is impaling themselves on their own tackle. takes us back where we started, and am blaming the inability o' some folks to learn from these encounters on a shortcoming in education. HA! Good Fun!

  20. I think JoJos (and GioGio) should probably avoid vehicles when possible. I dunno, I really like the last opening for Diamond is Unbreakable.

  21. I was trying to figure out how the heck I even came across this in the first place...until I remembered that I deliberately went out of my way to bookmark literally anything Madhouse that was made like pre-2005 that looked even the tiniest bit interesting to me (and this is also how I watched that other one, A-Girl...along with a number of others on the list (e): oh yeah, Ran as well!). Unfortunately, so much of their work was not very well preserved...I'm incredibly thankful that Sakura was. Yes, it would be an impossible situation for you. As far as I can see, there's no subtitles of any kind available...English, Japanese, or otherwise. I'm very not happy about it.

  22. Witcher S2E2. Damn, even better that the first episode! I wonder what the budget comparison is between Witcher and WoT because the results are night and day.

  24. Yeah, Madhouse used to make quite good-looking shows. Azuki-chan looks interesting, but yeah, there's really nothing in terms of subtitles, and no German dub either that I could try. Guess that's as goood a motivation as any to continue with the Japanese learning thing, but the way how it is going right now I'm more likely to be able to read the language at some point than listen and understand. Geez. In the interest of not making my brain explode I'll skip the 30 minute movie for the time being and just take your word for it.

  26. It is communists that people fear Like for example Germany's Strafgesetzbuch section 86a which prohibit public showing of Nazi symbols was adopted during Cold War to block communists parties in West Germany as side effect it also bans Nazi symbols.

  27. J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay worked on STAR TREK BEYOND, not INTO DARKNESS, and as I understand it had been script doctors for years, primarily. Other cause for concern besides parting with the Tolkein advisor is that Amazon apparently required extensive reshoots after the pilot was done as they changed their mind on a number of things.

  29. So I had hubby call my phone and asked him to answer it. He took my phone and made this long swiping motion over it and it worked. I was all ...I swear I never "swiped" to answer it before. One of those many phone updates must have made it mandatory or something. ...I'm old and tapping a button looking circle just makes sense to me, swiping over a "button" never crossed my mind. Stupid touchscreens.

  30. Is the title inclusive of combinations? For example, if you were, say, an utterly heretical Christian agnostic that also happens to simultaneously be a fatalistic heathen at the same time? Asking for a friend... Merry Christmas and happy other such holidays, people.

  31. No TP camera was why they did not get an otherwise guaranteed sale from me for TOW. And if Avowed is supposed to be "Skyrim-like," then the one thing Skyrim did totally right was including a TP camera, no matter how imperfect it may have been. So, for me, and I imagine quite a number of others, no TP camera = no sale.

  32. Yeah, it's a huge bummer to me because first person games make me nauseous so I guess I won't get to experience any more stories in Eora.

  33. Very exciting! I really hope there will be a class system. Skyrim won't let me be a druid so do the right thing with this! DnD-like classes are well established in Eora with plenty of associated lore.
