Edit: Just stumbled across this and laughed harder than I should have

Deviled eggs

This is the most hilarious bug I've run into in a while. It sure is a top contender for one of he best, but at least I managed to reproduce it now thank to @Azdeus's testing. Steps to reproduce: Be from Commie-EU-Yurop so the cookie settings pop up. Switch to Incognito/In Private/Private browsing to make sure you have a clean slate. Go to https://forums.obsidian.net Reject the social media cookie (you can reject all others if you want, but this is the one that is causing the issue). Log in Try to post with quotes and multiple lines. ??? Profit (or facepalm if you're the poor sod who has to fix this )! So, while I am not 100% certain that this is caused directly by rejecting the social media cookie - or rather, not accepting it - it is an easy way to reproduce the issues of our posters. It also neatly explains why it is only posters fom the EU that seem to be affected. There was an issue with the social media cookie settings not sticking in the past too, as @Gorgon and @HoonDing can attest to, for which there als are posts in this thread and a solution was sought. There is one really, really, REALLY fun thing you can and should do. Once you got the steps down to reproduce it, reject all the cookies, open up Chrome's dev console by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + I, and try to post from Chrome. You will find this will actually cause posting to behave normally, until a page refresh (going to some other page, or pressing F5). After a page refresh, it will keep eating lines and quotes until you close the development console again. Either way, the moment the scripts seem to realize that the dev console is open (or thinks it is, when you actually close it), it switches to a debug mode where the problem does not happen. If you keep the console open and refresh, the posts get mangled again, but other than some minor warnings about deprecated jQuery functions and content policy header settings there is no error to be seen. Fix for the posters affected is to accept the cookies. Perhaps clear out the browser cache for the forum. At least until it is fixed. Or alternatively, use Chrome and press CTRL + SHIFT + I every time you load a page, but that's certainly really annoying. Edit: tagging in @SChin Edit 2: Same behaviour in Edge, not much of a surprise, same basis as Chrome. Does not seem to work in Firefox from @Azdeus's testing. Can't check now, perhaps later.

Hardware memory lane, one of my favorite places to be! So, this was the first graphics adapter I ever had, a Video Seven VEGA EGA from a longer while back: Changed eventually to a Trident TVGA9000B from '92: And technically, I suppose this counts as the first GPU of mine, an S3 ViRGE: I no longer have the Riva 128 I upgraded to, I started upgrading my cards fairly regularily and gave my old ones to friends and family. I had a Riva TNT too, the original GeForce 256, a GeForce 2 and 3, one of the 7 series (a 7950 GT, I think), a 560 TI, a GTX 970 and currently the RTX 3060. I'm pretty sure I'm missing cards in between there (most likely something between the 7950 GT and the 560 TI, and something between the GeForce 3 and the 7950 GT). Quite noticably I moved from getting the flagship cards in the early GeForce series to more budget oriented ones. Although, technically, for the GeForce 256, there was no such thing as a 'budget' oriented version, only one that had laughable SDR memory on it, which I think never made it here. That was 23 years ago already, feels like yesterday. Bizzare.

Low sodium chicken broth, a chunk of pork shoulder roast (I slow-cook a couple of those each week), diced tomatoes (yes, canned ones, I don't drain them), jalapeno/spices and the below into a big pot: I've basically been eating it once, sometimes twice a day for some weeks now. It's winter-warm/spicy and isn't a rabbit salad. I keep making bigger and bigger batches because hubby keeps "stealing" it so it doesn't last long. 😁

Lightly breaded and pan fried chicken in a lemon-milk sauce with artichokes, kalamata olives, capers, and sun-dried tomats. Paired it with some roasted mini sweet peppers and pearl couscous It looked better before I uploaded it.

There is an alternate timeline where both Russia and Ukraine not only qualify but face each other in the final.

I prefer the old stuff, because looking at...well, this, hurts my brain: Sigh. Movie-quality animation just isn't what it used to be, is it? And never mind writing... I'm usually happy with most anything that isn't needles into my brain, and the old stuff is certainly very formulaic, but it's not needles, and that makes it alright in my book. The equivalent voice actor for me is Frank Welker, who has been voicing Fred since literally the show's inception and continuing up to this day...along with a number of other memorable roles like the doppelganger from BG1. Okay, his voice isn't "music to my ears", but still, .

I must be finally off the internet then (thank god), because The Witcher season 2 being hated is news to me. Season 1 was kind of silly with some Cw-tier effects, and season 2 really felt like a leap forward in all respects. It would be awful if Cavill left the show for Superman only to get booted out of Superman.

That's what she said.

Space Dandy 1-2 Space Dandy goes after boobies aliens and ramen. This is totally silly but quite entertaining. Don't ask me about continuity, considering what happened in the end of the first episode.

Well, yeah, definitely overkill to even use this weapon in this manner, and in the past when I've tried using Mahora Tanga with other on-crit weapons it crashed the game. I was just wondering about it... But...3/16 of the SF DOT is dealt immediately, and added to the initial damage from the rapier, so you kill most regular enemies in one hit if your focus is high, nearly all within 3 seconds. Also the Swift Flurry 1/encounter cone can gib multiple enemies at once, it is pretty funny. I just tested it in the arena and it exploded the guards and Naga. The damage isn't accurately reflected in the log (the DOT doesn't even show, just appears above enemy heads per tick) so it is hard to be sure but it looked like Swift Flurry procced it multiple times. Was wondering if RFF would do that or if it just resets the timer. If it resets the timer but procs the first tick that would still do a ton of damage.

It seems that Musk's freedom of speech and democracy project is going well https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/twitter-suspends-journalists-covering-elon-musk-company-rcna62032 "Musk later joined the discussion, but briefly — getting out his talking points and then leaving abruptly. He had earlier put up a poll with a variety of options, asking whether or when he should reinstate the journalists’ accounts. When a plurality of respondents voted to restore the accounts immediately, he deleted the poll and started a new one with fewer options."

Remember playing a game and a prompt would come up: Aah, those were the days.

F-35 has an automatic ejection system in that mode, I believe, maybe that triggered ?

595KB out of 640KB is really, really tight.

y'know, an easily overlooked aspect regarding the murder and devouring o' mr. kevin bacon in 2019 is that we have no recollection o' the headline from that time. is not as if we go looking for such stories, but is weird we didn't hear anything when the events was a bit more contemporaneous with what we would imagine were initial reporting. HA! Good Fun!

What did you expect with a nationwide beer ban? 😝

That sounds just as bizarre as that cannibal case Rammstein based one of their songs ("Mein Teil") on 😖 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes aka "The Rotenburg Cannibal"

Witcher S2 earns extra points for trolling Yennefer stans, a group that so very desperately needs trolling.

yeah it's great. it's a vessel-only bonus for just your mainchair, but fortunately vessels are some of the toughest foes in the game. (e.g. also the guardian of ukaizo)

Found this ancient thing hanging out in storage. Maybe I can put together a Windows XP Retro Box

For folks actively running into this issue, if you have the time or the desire to check on some things for me, it is highly appreciated, but by no means required. I just have a list of things that I'm trying to get data on to see if there are any common denominators to see if we can find the issue so we can get it fixed I'll likely add some more things in an edit, but for now these are the data points that might help: Location (US or other) (Computer) System Language Web Browser Used How often is the issue currently occurring for you? (Rarely, Intermittently, Often, Always, etc) Have you had the issue in the past and it started working normally again? Are you using Editor options like Quotes, HTML, Bullet Points, links, etc when it occurs? Does this happen on multiple web browsers for you? Of course any extra information you might think is useful is always appreciated. Again, sorry for the trouble this annoying issue has been causing. I'm hoping we can get a fix soon so y'all can enjoy your time here without having to frustratingly copy paste your posts for fear of them auto deleting after starting a new line of text.

Works great. Awesome! Just for curiosity, could you explain a bit how you do the String Table Query search? I'm looking at the code but I'm struggling a lot through all the abstractions of dics. Even so, if I understand it correctly, isn't the search ultimately done in Matches()/Contains() by parsing through all the text entries in all the files and searching for the query? So a "sequential" search. If so, I don't understand how it is so fast; I would've thought it would take a bit to parse everything.

Super Egg Salad Eggs, mayo, green onions, bacon, pepper, and paprika. No salt needed, the bacon supplies that in spades.

Good luck. There is at least one ship I have encountered in game that can easily land hits outside it's optimum range, and can do very high damage per salvo. You will be unlikely to beat it with a sloop, I don't care how good your crew is or what upgrades you have. You can ram it, but it's crew is also level 15, so I hope you are pretty darn far in the game. Yes the sloop played right, with a good crew, good upgrades, and good guns, can beat "most" ship encounters. That said, you will take a long time per fight doing it that way, assuming you even win every time, you might not because there are a small amount of legit nasty ships out there. Meanwhile I sit on my junk, close to 400 give or take, fire two salvos, and i win. No I don't care what the other ship is, two salvo's I win. I won ship battles against Galleons with upgraded hulls in 135 hp in less than 2 minutes. Ask the guy with two imperial long guns per side how long his ship battles take? Yes it costs a lot to get the ship, and all the upgrades, but trust me, it makes ship combat insanely faster. Also, what else are you spending it on? Yes, there are cool items in a lot of shops, but most of them aren't as good as what you can loot, or you can also loot them somewhere else. Additionally, farther you get in the game easier it is to make money, I have cleared some dungeon maps where every mob was dropping exceptional gear and I sold the stuff for over 20k from that one dungeon only.

It is recommended for dps. Which builds are you referring to? Note that some builds do not have it as cross-class skills was introduced later in the game's lifecycle (WM1's time? I honestly can't remember) Torm does ToI or Triple Crown playthroughs. So no luxury in reloading for the right sale. Yes I am so dumb it even astounds me.

The water heater went out in my condo 2 months ago and yesterday the HVAC system died. Really regretting not selling this place back during Summer.

That doesn't look like anything to me. Anyways, my fond memories for Scooby-Doo are memories and I haven't really seen anything Scooby-Doo in a while. Maybe I watched the recent movie that had it's sequel euthanized by the new WB reality TV man who wants to make everything about 1000 pound people, but if I did then I don't remember it. Maybe Scooby-Doo wouldn't hold up for me, maybe I'd just hate the newer stuff. I don't know.

My copy of Corel Draw 4 had 45 disks... that was a 'fun' installation.

Those things are as old as I am. I started kind of early with having a PC, but not that early. Basically with the TVGA card, more or less - was one of the first upgrades, along with adding a 387SX to our 386SX based system. We once switched cases which was quite an undertaking at the time, or at least it seemed like that to me. With no mainboard manual, we had to draw up diagrams and tag the cables with numbers - not like the mainboards at the time were built to make sure users don't accidentially plug the cables where they're not supposed to go, never mind all the jumper settings and whatnot. Upgrades were also kind of strange and sometimes did not do what I expected them to do. We once added another 4 MB RAM to the system because I could not get Strike Commander to run, but imagine my confusion when more memory did not fix the issue of not having enough conventional memory free for Strike Commander. The great irony of the time, adding really expensive memory modules did not help (how could they, with that being based on a hardware limitation that little 9-year-old me was not aware of), but replacing the old mouse with a newer one fixed that. Why? Because the silly mouse driver that came with the newer mice took a third of the memory of the old one. Like from 17 KB down to 6. That was enough to push memory usage down to meet SC's insane 595 KB requirement. Then came the great waiting, because on my old system, the game needed like 15 minutes to start, and almost as long to prepare takeoff for the first mission. It did not run all that great and was all but unplayable. You know, generally, when old timers say that they had to walk backwards up a mountain each day to get to school they're just being ridiculous, but in some cases that isn't far from the truth. Had that one for a long while. Later upgraded to a system with a P-120, which was quite a leap in performance. Also pretty necessary because Windows 95 did not run with the ancient 386SX CPUs.

Maybe it will be like Dark, where s1 was great, s2 was making everything unnecessarily complicated, and s3... well I actually never watched s3.

As a big fan of Roiland stuff, I was really hoping I'd latch onto it. It hasn't happened yet. There's occasionally a really funny bit, but it mostly feels like throwaway gags that weren't good enough to air on Rick and Morty.

Right, I guess it's about time to go recycle all my useless junk before it joins the other fossils.

Thats got to be "Eve"? Ill see myself out.
