After over a hundred hours, here it is: https://www.deviantart.com/melkathi/art/forkcat-and-friends-906272109 Waiting to do a proper photoshoot so I have something I can work with and possibly print out for a couple of friends as a poster.

Hey you're right! It takes FOUR books!

World’s Oldest Tortoise Still Doing His Thing Reptile Style - The Debrief

i believe the way it works is that the game just extends the duration of the debuff, so it doesn't count as a fresh application. the behavior that you're talking about mostly really works for stacking dots (bleeding cuts, combusting wounds, etc.).

Are schools going to start suing parents for being stupid? Probably not, I don't think there are enough lawyers to handle such a case load. Here is a real newspaper story, if you are interested: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/10/15/false-gop-claim-that-doj-is-spying-parents-school-board-meetings/

I think forum cookies just had enough of you posting videos of those astronomically ghastly dudes you always post.

I went with some family and friends to this awesome boutique hotel called Alphen We ate inside the Library Dining Room, it was really well done and nicely aired for the virus

Both Crude rope and silk rope only cost 1 resource to make but lint rope costs 3 to make. This makes building with the new burr floors prohibitively expensive. On a good run you can get 30-40 lint which makes 10-13 lint rope, which only makes 5-6 full burr floors. This in my opinion is far too little for what is one of the most limited resources currently in game. I suggest that lint rope only cost 1 lint per, like other ropes.

Here's my original post on it: An appreciation for the same sort of absurdist, fourth wall breaking humor, at least. I can also proudly claim to not have gotten the insane collector's Naruto reference until someone pointed it out to me that her calling Jashin Omo...something is a reference to it. Whatever reference it actually is, because I'm not going to look it up, but maybe there's a snake-lady in Naruto too.

Matrix Games' The Operational Art of War IV (available on Steam) has the most up-to-date gaming system of all those old operational-level wargames, and it comes with some nice WW II scenarios to play. Some nice WW I and pre-WW I scenarios as well.

the guy who current plays ryan is one inch taller than the guy who plays reacher. we didn't particular like the cruise movie (the internet tells us there were a second installment which we never saw) but the movie jack reacher were less comical... though the tv version don't seem to be going for camp. am thinking you need be a fan o' the books, or you must loathe tom cruise to prefer the current amazon tv iteration. ... the new jack reacher series is not our cup o' tea, and is yet another amazon series we won't be watching after trying to get through the initial offering. is one o' those not uncommon eye-roll worthy shows where the cops are incompetent and do not follow any kinda law as practiced in any jurisdiction in the US, and the show is stacked with improbable people in impossible situations while a moody sherlock holmes punches his way to justice. HA! Good Fun!

I'm starting Solasta today. Have to admit to being a little bit excited about diving into 5e D&D. I've been playing in 5e games through Roll20 with a group of friends, but playing just my own limited PC hasn't given me a true exposure to all of 5e.

Sure that work ; Blood and Spirit Frenzy are applied on rolls (crit for Blood Frenzy) and Returning Storm do a roll each time the tempest proc. Contrarily to pure DoT spells like Insect Swarm that have a roll only at the beginning, but it is a status effect that is applied, not a damage roll. That is why that doesnt remove Entropy. Because of this spell, druid is the king of DoT imo, but another really nice build focused on DoT I tried is a MC Cipher (Psion) and Druid (Ancient). Disintegrate, Soul Ignition, Plague of Insects ect. SC Cipher is crazy on solo target DoT by the way, with Death on 1000 cut. And because of Shared Nightmare, my next sentence get an incredible taste : Another really good stuff for DoT build for all classes is coming from Scrolls, since Shining Beacon, Insect Swarm ans Plague of Insects are available with convenient Arcana.

It's a good thing you're giving us descriptive text, because it kinda looked like Cobra broke his neck and was lying there horribly paralyzed without the description...although that interpretation was better. Guess I'd learn how to play Bach real quick. I mean, how hard can it be? Let me Google it real quick... Oh.

My niece gave us a recipe for apple-chicken curry some time ago, but my brother who is not a fan of chicken decided this time to substitute paneer for the chicken. It was an alright substitution to me. He loved it as he didn't have to eat chicken. My dad ate it and said it was okay, I'm not sure he's ever been much for curry though.

Ugh I posted a big thing and it disappeared. How I'd define it personally is that it's the 'default'. By that I mean, it doesn't manifest itself by people going 'oh heck yeah you're a straight white guy here's some free stuff for you or whatever', it manifests in a lack of oppression that other people get. Women are way more likely to get sexually harassed, assaulted, or passed over for jobs. For many jobs, there's an unconscious bias against women for a couple reasons, which mostly boil down to 'the people doing the hiring are overwhelmingly older men, and even though they are not allowed to officially have gender based hiring practices, they instinctively think of men as more suited to certain roles.' (The inverse is also true for certain roles, it's just that nurse, cleaner and teacher don't pay as well as doctor, engineer or scientist.) I'm less likely to have political parties run on a platform that people of my ethnicity or religious background shouldn't come to this country. I'm less likely to have people pass me over for jobs because 'my accent is difficult'. I'm less likely to be killed in custody. Because of how generational wealth works, I was statistically more likely to be born into the fairly well off middle class situation I found myself in. Also, because I'm straight and CIS, there hasn't historically been legislation that supported the view that I was a mentally ill deviant who should be executed, (death penalty for sodomy removed in Victoria in 1949) or at least imprisoned, (sodomy decriminalised in Tasmania in 1997) or at the very least, that if if I hit on someone, that they could use that as a legal defence against murdering me. (Gay panic defence struck down in South Australia in 2020.) Also, there's not been any schools trying to get parents to sign contracts that state if their children come out as straight they can have their enrolment cancelled, but a school sure tried to do that contract about LGBT students about a week ago. As to friends and family, it varies. Anecdotally, I tend to get on better with those who acknowledge it is a thing, but I think that's in part because there tends to be some compelling Venn diagrams regarding those views and the willingness to ignore science around climate change or vaccines, or support Trump as president, or say that suggesting we stop marginalising people is 'political correctness gone mad'.

Yes, the dimensions of each fork are 2cm width x 9,5cm height, so they are small enough in the original as is. On a screen with a crummy photo taken with my phone, they are harder to see. And yeah, there is 658 of them, which makes things even harder. I think the fox is the easiest to spot.

I tried starting a game of Gary Grigsby's War in Russia (Matrix Edition). Playing as the Soviet side, the (German) AI is just a bit... frustrating at times? Yes, AI is probably the single hardest thing (and I know from experience, it's over the top processing intensive) to get right, but.... arrrrgghh! Frustrating. It manages production and reinforcements just fine, but objectives? It's entirely on a HQ level and there are many HQs, so you get the feel of fighting a brainless horde of huns just swarming you. Once you get an advantage of numbers, they will still try to do "Blitzkrieg", despite being outnumbered 1:10 in a fight, no consideration for casualties. And then there are the Panzer Corps units. Unlike Infantry Corps, they can move up to 5 hexes per turn (operational readiness allowing) and boy does the AI use that. Mostly for suicide missions though. It will repeatedly overextend and send those fast moving units behind your lines, going for Soviet HQ units and rail/road networks. While it causes a few moments of panic at times when a HQ (with its air unit contingent) gets wiped out, it's almost always at the expense of the Panzer unit, which will rush it without any support and ends up dying in a turn or two after. Hence, the label suicide missions. Maybe I should retire the old Dos game and give Gary Grigsby's War in West and Gary Grigsby's War in the East (2010 edition) a try instead (I have both on my steam account) Edit: Because of the way the AI plays, I ended up the second time in a row having taken the Balkans and laying siege to Budapest in late 1942. Just too soon.

Well I tried making smash burgers. I think I went too thick for the patties (about 4oz each) but otherwise it turned out well. They came out juicier and crisper than most un-smashed burgers I've made and it seemed like they took half the time. I'll probably do burgers like this from now on unless I've got a fire going.

Maybe people outside the US are a bit bemused by the *perceived* hero worship, which sometimes takes place in the US (emphasis on the 'perceived' part)?

Hi Dudes and Dudettes, Just found another Beguiler bug. Draining Whip adds +100% focus gain. Beguiler gets half of normal focus (0.25 focus per damage ratio instead of 0.5), but +100% focus gain against sneak attack targets. Consequently, Beguiler Draining Whip will get 0.25 +100% focus +100% focus gain against sneak attack targets. Both bonuses stack additively !! So Beguiler with Draining Whip only get 0.75 focus per damage vs sneak attack targets while other Ciphers get 1 focus per damage. Beguilers aren't supposed to get a penalty vs sneak attack targets... (note : it will of course be addressed by next BPM version, cheers !)

Unless they plan on adding more sources for lint, I agree fully. I find the dust mites 'not fun' to fight on the mat as the numbers are a bit ridiculous so grinding for this material is tedious for me and not very fruitful.

Within the grounded game, I am a person who would consider quite useful the use of pulleys to climb construction materials when you want to build in high places since you can not climb the vertical stairs with grass plank or bad herb and build acorn or grass stairs is very slow with scaffolding so the pulley or some elevator for manual use would be very useful to climb this class of materials or even to another player or oneself

Everytime I try and load up multiplayer it crashes. I pick my character and it begins to load me in and about half way thru it loading I get sent to my Xbox home. Can anyone help?

Yeah it was an awkward capture from an awkward piece of animation. At least they didn't make it look like Sandra was ogling his crotch in the split scene. Oh...wait a minute...

The school board denies it and there is no statements from adminstrators, teachers, students, etc. It is bad journalism.

Supēsu Kobura aka Space Cobra aka Space Adventure Cobra Episode XI "Suna no Wakusei Zadosu" aka "Zados, the Sand Planet" Naturally, things don't go as smoothly for Cobra & co when they get to Zados... All the pieces are in place for this story-arc's finale, a final confrontation with Sandra where Cobra doesn't dare pull out his psychogun lest the Ultimate Weapon copy and exceeds it's power.

Top five, don't @me. I mean, probably - there are a lot of them and they're kind of hard to see individually, . Okay, this one is pretty clearly a fox and not a cat.

I need to accept analytics, social media and advertising cookies, or one of the 3.

Wow, so this is what confused the hell out of me. In the last few years have been so many Jacks, who all kinda are the same?? Now it makes sense...

If you're looking for answers on numbers then Cinco has you covered:

I was very confused for a minute here, because I thought I watched like half of the first season of Reacher like a year or two back...but apparently, I believed Jack Reacher and Jack Ryan were the same thing. I mean, I think they basically are, but technically, they are distinct properties. First season of Gilmore Girls. The style of dialogue in this show is unusual - it has a tendency to be very quick with a lot of back-and-forth between multiple characters and yet sound perfectly natural...though if you stop paying attention for even a couple of seconds, you may lose critical context that renders entire conversations incomprehensible, and there are a lot of them and they'll all well-written and usually fun, so you should pay attention. I thought I'd take a break before starting the second season, but I accidentally jumped right into the second one which was a direct continuation of the first, so I guess I'll be watching that for a while longer yet.

Stahlrim I would love to see that make an appearance in grounded. As far as the cooler I say do a mini fridge. Could have more variety for things to find inside. Maybe have it half functioning where the fridge portion is busted and just keeps it cool and dark perfect for slugs and other creepers and if you make it to the top you can enter the freezer portion that triggers chiller(opposite of sizzle) and maybe encounter fungus enhanced varient as fungus prefers cold weather. You think the infected spider is bad encounter a frigid pillbug with blue ice spikes(blue splinters) that breaks out of the ice and charges you in the same manner a ox beetle does As far as ice based weapons I would suggest ice gear/mining gear combo. Like Pickaxe: a weapon that has burst but is triggering piercing damage Ice axe:a knife based cutting item Winter coat:made from lint as an insulator Ice boots: skid resistant boots. Insulated for the cold. Sun blockers and hood: based on Inuit design Lantern: a combo of fungus and bioluminescent fluid.

Nah the forum software blocks embedded links unless you accept them when you’re in the EU. Sarex isn’t so that’s a bit weird though. Accept them means allow them in the cookie settings for the forums.

One of the (many) wonderful things about living and operating in the southeast is that we, for the most part, stopped giving a $#!+ about masks a loooooooooong time ago. I noticed Tennessee, in particular, stopped having mask mandates as early as mid-2020, or if they had mandates then the majority of people didn't follow them. Pretty much all the states I operate in (the Carolinas, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida) followed suit shortly. I've never seen or even heard of any mask protests. I'm sure some have happened at some point somewhere in the southeast, but it's not something that happens with any significant frequency. For my own part, if a business requires a mask I put one on, no big deal, otherwise I don't. I never wear one outside. About 50% of the businesses I pick up at or deliver to require a mask in the shipping office. None of the truck stops require masks, a good number of them don't even have the employees wearing them. We southerners are over this $#!+, if COVID is going to burn through our states then it's going to burn through our states, mask or no masks.

paladin have a level 2 spell that give any good character charisma to save so give seelah 24 hours spell and use that are more efficient though it can be dispelled rather easily

Given how long those buff sessions take, it's a big relief. Probably saves several hours in total.

I also finished the game on Friday. And I agree with you very closely. I think I successfully did almost all of the small side things while solving the case and finishing with no loose-ends left. My ending was quite perfect and very satisfactory, having refused to get on the airship, averted the bloodbath, and a perfect outcome to the shootout with the mercs (though without the spirit bomb). Finding that giant bug was a sweet bonus. My Harry was 4, 4, 2, 2. What was yours?

Follow the twitter thread for some.. interesting panels.

That can depend on the tattoo....

Spiritual Ally is controllable. It not only has unlimited use of Robust but also unlimited use of Corrosive Breath (cone attack with good base dmg but low PEN). You can cast the Robust healing on the Spiritual Ally itself - which makes it quite tanky (13 AR + healing, over 400 max health at lvl 20). It's basically an animat.
