I wonder if all the reactionaries who bought Hogwarts Legacy to spite "the left" due to the call for a boycott ended up liking all the wokeness in the game. A transwoman as owner of the Three Broomsticks and her character arc one giant call for easier access to transitioning, male characters being able to walk into any of the girl's lavatories, every minority under the sun present in rural Scotland... that must have hurt.

Borrel has confirmed today, that the first UA pilots are already started F-16 training in EU. In Other news, even Russian Gray Zone channel (Prigozhin fans) are taking piss oit of Russian army defending Bilhorod

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves I liked it more than I thought I would. Not all the jokes work, but that was not a problem.

But, but, but Ukraine has denied any connection to Belgorod rebels but urges Russia to stop bombing them & abide by a Minsk-style format whereby Moscow will get control of border back only *after* a totally legit referendum on the status of the region takes place! And besides, such weapons and badges, which they are using, can be bought at any army shop, or found left over at any abandoned barn or mine

Majority of gamers are like addicts and just want their next fix. I'd argue that if the game is good, politics is quickly forgotten.

I think casters scale up their spells. Like pretty sure I've run into risen priests that had minor avatar. And I know Katrenn has cast Concelhaut's Crushing Doom on me. She's meant to be level 12 so shouldn't have it. I was trying to steal spells from her and was annoyed she kept killing herself because the AI doesn't check if you have on arcane reflection before casting something like CCD, so eventually I just cloned my script and turned off Arcane Reflection when doing spell thefts. This was playing vanilla game. I've found it doesn't make a ton of difference what order I do things in besides DLC content. What matters is when the build comes together. Once you have your abilities and gear that make it work, as you say the enemy gaining a bit of stats doesn't affect you as much.

I can't even run 7200 on a z790 board rated for 8000. I mean it boots and runs all day, but y-cruncher stability tests fail. I back it to 7000 and that was working. I ended up refunding the Vengeance 7200 and just oc'd my 6400 sticks to 7000, and that has been my daily driver for the past few months

Yes but you made millions from your book, how many Greek islands do you own now

Well, Austrialia does suffer from cat and rabbit overpopulations, as far as I know, as they simply lack natural predators to keep their populations in check. They're an ecological menace, really. Although I think Australia wants them gone purely because they're not deadly to humans.

Speaking purely from my current experience with the i7-13700k, even manually just setting the power limit to Intel's specifications (i.e. 253W PL2, cannot do much besides that, as the B660 chipset does not allow for undervolting) does a number for thermals and power draw, while missing less than 2% of performance on Cinebench R23. Der8auer had a gaming power draw video a while back with varied CPUs because he had like an old prototype CPU to test, and they were pretty similar. An i5-13600 under gaming load is much faster than a 7600X (well, duh) but draws about as much power, although the usual caveats apply, there's some variance in between the CPUs (and in the case of the 7600Xs, up to 40%). On the topic of Asus doing Asus things, I got myself a 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-7200 CL 34 kit. Loading Asus' "XMP I" profile results in having a blue screen every other minute and stability issues like crashing Firefox tabs in between. Loading the actual XMP profile of the RAM sticks, which Asus calls "XMP II" works though. At least, well, it seems like it is stable. Also thinking about moving to a larger case or using a front mounted 360mm AIO. Even with the really low height Corsair Vengeance without RGB, I can only install and remove the sticks after dismounting the radiator from the top of the case. Now, I'm not fiddling around with my memory all the time, of course, but still, that is kinda annoying. Especially in light of perhaps having to reinstall the old sticks, if I can't use the new ones at their full potential I'm sending them back, no point in paying extra for memory speeds and timings I can't reach without introducing instability.

Obsidian turned down an offer to make a Star Trek rpg for Zenimax in the past.

Honestly this is one of the best ideas I've seen on here. Such a great way to introduce new creatures into the yard

Burke's favour missions were was the most tedious. Was funny when the car I'd have to steal would spawn back at the same location I just picked it up from. The game got buggier near the end, got stuck at a black screen several times, mission triggers wouldn't work or the NPC would get stuck behind a door. 2 DLCs down, the CIA one was....not all that fun really, seemed very combat heavy and not much stealth. Culminating in a ridiculous boss fight, seemed like it was in the wrong game. One more DLC to do and then I can put the game to bed.

I'd argue that it's actually not a lot of people but they are very very very loud. As loud as they are, they are also clearly not very effective at mobilizing a boycott.

who doesn't want to forget any problem exist at all and wallow in confort and pleasure after we die who care if flood reach the sky

Looks like today’s events in Bilhorod are a part of a larger scheme. Budanov released an appeal to Russian soldiers to use the “I want to live” initiative, to save their lives, and Magyar is announcing something big tonight…

https://wccftech.com/hogwarts-legacy-1-3-billion-revenue/#:~:text=Hogwarts Legacy has generated well over %241.3 billion,revealed by Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO%2C David Zaslav. Hogwarts has been a massive success with over $1 billion in revenue, its good to see that the majority of gamers dont care about culture wars hyperbole and just like good games I see there are also some good mods out so I will be playing this game in 5-6 months

Heh reminds me of the lawless days of the late 70's - early 80's. I used to sit in front of my boombox, the Record and Pause buttons already pushed, waiting for my favorite jams to come on the radio and slamming the Pause again to unpause and start recording, only the have the DJ talk over the last 30 seconds. Good times. I filled up multiple cases with my fire mix tapes: Maybe they should make on onlyfans, but for aspiring musicians.

It's an extremely good weapon versus kith, or possibly used with more fragile party members from the second row. It is "ranged" but it's like a couple meters IIRC. I think blood mage / streetfighter would be interesting if you could figure out how to keep from being murdered but fight bloodied. I haven't used the spell a ton mostly because it's in a weird grimoire and comes at a weird time. I mean you have to be L10 to use it but by L13 you can use Citzal's Spirit Lance. Does massive amounts of single target damage though, but like boeroer said lots of stuff immune to poison. Also the snake attacks do piercing, which is unfortunately the most resisted damage type. It's a cool idea and may work, but you'd probably want to switch to another weapon versus resistant enemies. Blood mage / assassin would be pretty strong once you get arkemyr's brilliant departure, but it would involve lots of hit-and-run attacks so blood mage / streetfighter is probably better. Also the "assassinate" bonus doesn't do anything for the DOT from cobra strikes I don't think.

Accuracy only second to ranger/cipher? That's assuming you can keep up enduring dance I guess? Which with a melee character you probably can't. Fighter/ranger is pretty good for crits with intuitive and conqueror stance, also weapon specialization and mastery give bonus accuracy with community patch. Really though if you use ranger pet properly and attack marked + flanked (with pet) targets you have like +30 to +40 just from that (depending on survival of the fittest). Cap of the Laughingstock, blinky, and gauntlets of accuracy also help. And one-handing. Doing all that you should crit every time versus normal opponents especially if you have nature's resolve. @Tomucci Any weapon you carry can proc ripostes, and mercy strike can trigger from ripostes, but you'd want to build high deflection to get more ripostes and it's hard to go for both high deflection and accuracy.

Indeed. Very short ranged, but still ranged. This also means it works with Driving Flight which makes Rager an appealing multiclass. The poison DoT doesn't suffer any dmg malus like the initial, direct dmg does with projectile jumps. No - but imo Eternal Devotion lasts a pretty long time for a 1-point ability. The Bleak Walker's FoD attack is keyworded with fire and acid and thus also gets +1 PEN from Scion of Flame and also Spirit of Decay. It has nothing to do with the lashes themselves. The ability attack or the weapon itself must have been keyworded with the fitting elemental words in order to protif from such PEN abilities (and also from PL boosts such as Otto Starcat pet or ACC boosts such as from the Ring of Focused Flame). Putting simply a lash on attack does nothing in that regard. So subsequent attacks after the FoD attacks will all have a burning lash, but they will not work with Scion of Flame unless you use a weapon that is keyworded with fire (not Cobra Strike) or use a fire spell. By the way: Eternal Devotion of the Bleak Walker only gives you the burning lash for some time as buff. The Black Flames' corrosive lash only gets applied to the initial FoD-Attack itself. The following lash buff of Eternal Devotion is burn-only - like with any other Paladin. So your spells will have burning lash only, not corrosive. You can get a corrosive lash on spells only with the help of Blightheart (bound to Wizard class). Iirc Cobra Strike doesn't have the acid keyword itself. Meaning auto-attacks with it will not profit from Spirit of Decay - but I am not 100% sure. I'm pretty confident that the DoT it does is keyworded with "poison" - which means that certain enemies will be immune (mostly undead and constructs, but also some Naga stc.). So all in all you will get +10 ACC from the Ring, +1 PEN from Scion oF, +1 PEN from Spirit oD when you execute FoD (Bleak Walker) - but none of that if you auto-attack just with the burnung lash of Eternal Devotion on you (unless Cobra Strike is keyworded acid, then +1 PEN - as I said: not sure). If the poison DoT is keyworded with poison (again: I'm pretty confident that it is) then it will work with the Mask of the Grotto Deep's PL bonus. For me this would be a must-have iem - not necessarily for the mechanics but 100% bc. of thematic reasons. Same that all Arcane Knights have. Can't think of anything special. Just thought that pairing Brand Enemy with Cobra Strike's DoT should work well. By the way: the poison DoT doesn't stack like Bleeding Cuts or Deep Wounds do. But new hits will prolong the duration. But in general dps-wise it is benefical to hit multiple enemies one after the other with the DoT instead of focusing on a single one. Also AoE-attacks with it would be great. But nothing comes to my mind except Driving Flight as a kind-of AoE (not really, but you know what I mean). Due to the high base dmg Streetfighter would be better than Assassin (unfortunately, theme-wise). Assassinate or Backstab only work during invisibility/stealth - and that will break as soon as you hit with the first cobra strike. Streetfighter's bonuses apply as soon as you are either flanked or bloodied. Both can be achieved fairly reliably if you use some movement abilities (Escape into crowds) and/or self damage (see Blood Sacrifice). A spellblade will never be as sturdy as an arcane knight. But you can always use invisibility or Escape to get away - for a damage dealer that's acceptable imo. A Bloodmage/Streetfigher will do considerably more damage than an Arcane Knight. Downside would be that he will be more squishy. Pick your poison (pun intended again ). You could go a more safe route with a Spellblade and take Trickster instead of Streetfighter or Assassin. :shrug My pick would be Streetfighter. Or maybe either Arcane Archer or Stalker.

i've watched an embarrassing amount of this show as well, mostly because my nieces like it and are still holding me hostage PLEASE SEND HELP

Yeah, he randomly popped up in my feed last week or so. Subbed straight away.

I remember watching a Mario and Luigi TV show as a kid. That theme song rocks.

I'll get the gang together, we'll save you.

"Nobody move, or the Kender starts telling a story...."

Now that Obsidian is developing Avowed, Bethesda should start developing a 2.5D isometric turn-based Elders Scrolls game.

stumping intensifies imo nuggets should win, but miami winning would make their run one of the very greatest of all time (especially relative to their abysmal talent level, honestly makes zero sense that they made it past the first round, never mind to the finals)

the Mario movie no, this one stinks, I was talking about the other Mario movie no, this is insane nightmare fuel, I meant the OTHER other Mario movie That's the one! Super Mario Brothers: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach (1986). Peach suddenly crawls out of Mario's TV screen while he's up late playing video games and she asks Mario if he can protect her from Bowser, so of course Bowser and his minions immediately follow her through the TV and kidnap her, taking her back through the TV so that he can marry her. Yes, they are going to keep re-using that idea for literally our entire lives. Mario and Luigi have the figure out what the hell happened and how to try to rescue her. Random screenshots: also i watched the chris pratt mario movie my neices are holding me hostage pls send help
