Well: Okay Amazon.

I don't see any reason why studios keeping making deals with WotC. They are clearly untrustworthy partners. As recently as last month both Hidden Path and OtherSide released statements that WotC was very happy with their work on their D&D games. So these cancellations are obviously a money thing, in that Hasbro decided they would not make enough money for them. Hasbro stock is down 40%, and they're pulling back their investments to try and prop up their stock. An they're doing it by sticking the knife in the backs of their D&D video game contractors.

I have uploaded Navy of Deadfire and Crew of Deadfire mods to nexus

I wish the scripting weren't so clunky. Never could figure out how to script anything with Vela. Tried casting withdraw on ally at various intervals but she isn't tagged as an ally I guess... What do you automate with forbidden fist? I haven't played monks much in POE2...or at all really. Forbidden Fist seemed kinda complicated. I can't think of what I'd be expiring for wounds besides like Hylea's Talons. ---- Oh and random thing I discovered during this run, you can steal enemy chants when their alliance is flipped. I accidentally stole something called "Crunch the bones" 26 minutes in to Video 24 when I used Ringleader on an Eoten at Bekarna's Observatory. Does + ?% crushing damage for ? seconds (thanks Wael!) but apparently I extended it forever because I saw it later when I was trying to proc Conduit. I wonder if it works on human chanters...quite a few easy ship fights with enemy chanters where you could steal a lot of cool stuff. Also some bounties. Chants like "At the sight of their comrades their hearts grew bold" would be really useful, +10 fort / will. Hmm. I want to start another run. But what class...

Story about how daily "life" looks like in Bakhmut from the Ukrainian soldiers perspective. It looks like that the battle for Bakhmut is culminating, both sides are running out of artillery ammo, although Russian keeps sending waves upon waves upon waves of cannon fodder towards the city, which means, that UA side suffers high casualty rate as well. Despite of this, the situation is currently more in favour of Ukraine again, as in mid-December, some time around Zelenskiy's visit to the frontline, the Bakhmut was almost lost, as Russians have almost taken under control the most crucial access road to the city. Thankfully, UA managed to execute successful counterattack, which cleared the area of the Russian presence. https://kyivindependent.com/national/as-battle-of-bakhmut-nears-culmination-ukraines-artillery-gasps-for-more-ammo

But they have very solid offering of Adventure Paths. And yes, you are correct, they are slow, but this might be maybe due to their fear what would happen with OGL. And looks like, they might have been correct, as Hasbro decided to revamp it, due to their opinion that D&D is undermonetized 🤮

Hey yall! The update went live in the middle of the night, so hopefully that has resolved the issue of the line breaks and mobile forums. Please let us know if you continue to run into these or any new issues that may arise from the update Thanks again for all the help in getting this fixed!

Finally! I really appreciate your great and endless effort for Deadfire. Thank you!

Not Intel level confusing at least as their numbering seemed to have literally no bearing on how the chip performs last time I checked. That naming scheme makes general sense with higher being 'better'. Otherwise... yeah, a bit of a mess. How much cache does the 7940 have? Because AMD itself doesn't actually seem to know. It's either 16MB L3 or 24MB total per that link depending on whether you combine L2 and L3 or not or 20 per the slide above. Or 32MB per some media, though that is media rather than AMD of course. The 7030 has 12CU of (presumably) Vega, not 8. Indeed, the 7x30 models have 12, 6 or 4CU listed on the website, none has 8. The Extreme Gaming laptop having a princely 2CU of RDNA2 also looks funny, though I guess they'll be sold with discrete graphics cards rather than relying on the iGPU. I will laugh if someone (probably Acer) tries to sell them for gaming using just the integrated chip.

I see. Blame my english, for missing your point 😁 IMHO, based on what I have read from some Russian sources, army and economy, there is a big chance, his death could stop the war. But even in these theoretical circumstances, The question, if this would change things for better, especially in the longterm, is valid, and impossible to answer.

For most folks here, the 3D V-Cache CPUs will be of highest interest. The 7040 series Zen4/RDNA3 APUs are of most interest to me for a handheld or miniPC in the future.

With the current variables, my sense is that the quickest way towards peace is indeed that as many Russians as possible die as quickly as possible. It is not pleasant at all, but does anyone have a realistic alternative in the current situation? Something completely unexpected may happen, and that may change everything. But right now, that's how I see the situation.

I've been doing alright with having everything automated but the phantom. Means one click in combat but I'm okay with it.

To post something on topic: I don't mind symbolism in films or series (or even books), but if it is the or even just a major focus, it is far too easy for me to become annoyed by what I perceive to be the creative team or the writer doing it simply to feel smug and superior. Like a group of people telling each other in-jokes in the presence of someone deliberately left out, although as the good Bruno could attest to, I am being a hypocrite here, as I do enjoy that too, but I don't like it being done to me. It's a fine line to walk and it is hard to explain where the breaking point is. To give an example, Mulholland Drive annoyed me to the point of disliking the film during the scene where the blue box is opened. In contrast, a while back I watched Adolescence of Utena, a film that has the two protagonists reach a car wash, with one of them entering as human and leaving it as a car. The other then gets in and drives off, being chased by a medieval style castle, leading to the final action/chase scene of the film and the ending. The difference is, I guess, insofar as that scene with the car makes perfect sense within the film and all of its established symbolism, while opening the blue box came, appropriately I suppose, more or less out of the blue. That is not to say that Mulholland Drive defies understanding in any way. The film is, prior and after the change, a criticism of Hollywood and the way it tends to (ab)use people's hopes and dreams. There is just no point in the switch besides being intentionally confusing. It only gets worse if you're taking the scene at face value and ascribe everything that happened in the film to this point as Diane's fevered masturbatory (for those who have not seen the film, this is meant literally) fantasy that still pertains to reality as it is her way to cope with the other scene that happened in real life, which is the very beginning, albeit probably in a different manner than shown. The scene breaks the narrative and adds nothing thematically. It serves no purpose, at least not in my opinion. Utena becoming a car did, and when you look back after the film is over, it was the only way it could have ended. Thematically, that is, they could have done any number of things. Car war perhaps a little on the nose, all in all. Regarding the last paragraph: this is something I thought about not that long ago. I would not call myself an atheist, but agnostic does not truly fit either. I do reject the idea of the Abrahamic god, for instance, but I do not know whether or not there are beings or entities that could be considered, if not gods, then at least godlike. This rejection is not borne out of a counter-reaction to any upbringing either, it is one based on conclusions that I arrived at early on in elementary school, but it is my own, and I do not try to convince others, but I do talk about it if and when the topic comes up. It also happened far earlier than my rejection of the Christian church/organized religion. That did come later. Seems logical: it did take longer to understand the church and its role in history than it is to poke holes into what the Bible describes, especially if it is presented as the literal truth by one's teacher.

I guess I'll only post single sentence posts with no formatting whatsoever from now on, like God intended.

This place is turning more and more into work every day. *death stare* Edit: Hey, there should be more to this post, but I accidentially posted it. So it'll sit there, any edits would take too long.

Yes, thats the one, thank you so much!

Aftermath of Makiivka hit. Russian MoD started to blame mobilized themselves, saying, that the attack was due to their usage of mobile phones. According to some milbloggers, the mobile phones of mobiks are confiscated as soon as they get to the front. Relatives of some survivors are also saying, that the Russians are also "taking care" of survivors in various ways, just to cover up this mega ****-up and save their own hides. EDIT: Yestreday Ukrainian General Staff reported another big hit similar to the one in Makiivka, reporting 500 KIA+WIA in village of Western Kherson Oblast. So the numbers of KIA is definitely lower, but the pattern is the same. A big bunch of mobiks/servicemen in one place, being hit by long range artillery. Man would say, that Russians would already learn since the summer, that putting a lot of men together with their equipment is very very bad idea.Instead, they are doing some witchhunts to find someone to blame for it...

I try to script everything but I've never scripted summons as a mage. Not sure in what situation you'd want to cast the phantom. I have some ideas but I'm not certain it will work how you want. If you want the phantom up at all times could just do a cooldown with the duration of the spell (or duration of blackbow) and cast it when you have concentration, targeted at enemy by greatest number of enemies. Another way to check if you have a summoned weapon, assuming you normally use a melee weapon would be have two blocks like this block 1:Self: Has Summoned Weapon (not) => action: self, caedelbald's blackbow, cooldown (lesser of blackbow, phantom) block 2: Self: ranged weapon equipped and target: engaging or engaged by self, action: essential phantom, enemy, prioritize by greatest number of enemies, cooldown (lesser of blackbow, phantom) This way it casts blackbow and then immediately casts essential phantom, should keep both up at least until the phantom is killed. If you don't want to stick the phantom in the thick of things you can use least engagers. You can isolate blocks to execute when the phantom is up with target: is summoned AND target: is spirit AND target: has summoned weapon (target type ally) This block should (I think) auto cast essential phantom if the phantom is knocked out, but it won't cast the first one so you'd need multiple blocks target: is summoned AND target: is spirit AND target: has summoned weapon AND target: is unconscious, action: essential phantom Scripting would be so much better with an OR button...sorry if this is confusing.
