Still working through the Palace of Ice DLC of Solasta. I'm enjoying it so far. The factions questlines are not mutually exclusive the way they were in the previous DLC, and I'm actually liking that. And they have been interesting so far. Just now reached level 15 with my party.

Tucker Carlson to interview Vladimir Putin. Successfully resisted crossposting to the Funny thread for now.

No , you dont understand Carlson cares about THE TRUTH, he is not controlled by the deep state like all other media in the US....remember how he exposed the cheating in the 2020 elections with the Dominion voting machines No one knows anything about Putins opinion on the invasion and only Carlson can bring us Putins truthful views

I watched the entire 12 hours on a side monitor over a few days, it was kind of enjoyable, but I'm the kind of nerd that noticed Rand and Mat entering Tar Valon from the wrong direction, so. It's a shame there are a few editing errors where it hitches up and repeats a few seconds where he spliced the episodes, but I can live with it. Might give it a second watch for good measure

Ah, weak modern gamers then, pft.

That or they recognize the Su-27 is the sexiest plane ever. I guess it was just the direction but didn't get the sense of anguish rather just whineyness. But I saw the 73 version first a couple of times so perhaps was biased. The 2000 Pilate is good with his hamminess

Cool! Thanks, Boeror

From what I see it's the same concept as the originals, you click for the x axis then you click for the y axis. The camera was bad in the originals too from what I remember.

Sorry - I stay logged in (no need to log in all the time anymore).

Seen some people complaining about the controls and camera.

Yeah, but we're not many who still post. And Sawyer of course didn't work at Obsidian when he joined.

Congratulations or condolences. Both?

Do you get a set of steak knives?

When you download a bunch of demos but by the time you're done looking/dl-ing, it's late and it's time for bed. But there was a new cat game! And Pacific Drive had a demo. And some other randoms. Demos are cool, I like demos.

There is a long history of medical doctors more readily dismissing symptoms reported by women. Goes, at the very least, all the way back to ancient Egypt and Greece. Hysteria - also known as female madness - was linked to having a sad uterus. It is also quite literally in the name, hystéra, meaning uterus.

Eurotrash's boring. Now, disco on the other hand....

I was thinking about suggesting that you check yourself into the nearest mental institution after reading up until this point, but it seems that you already did. Take care man, and all the best, hope the treatment will work out.

For me that was one of those odd situations where if I don't look at the actor, I liked his actual singing more. Not that he's anywhere within the "really good JCS/Judas" category. Vocally too stretched. But watching his OTP facial contortions made my ears hear it entirely different. Listening to music vs. watching music does that to me sometimes. I think the only things I liked about that 2000 film version were Simon/the zealot (I like Simon's bits in just about all versions) and the priests - Caiaphas and Annas (bald guy). The '73 JSC film is still a strange one for me because I was exposed to that concept rock album first, listened to it 100's and 100's of times, memorized all the lyrics etc. The film feels like they altered the general octave range a little, to fit Neeley, especially for the showcase Garden of Gethsemane number, better - nothing wrong with that, mind, but I don't like it as much vocally. But the Simon dance number was fun and Carl Anderson was very good - he and Neeley were still great vocally when I saw them on stage in SF back in the, uh, maybe late 80's/early 90's. Some of the Broadway clips/recordings I've seen/heard, various casts, seemed like they were also pretty good. But that concept album will always be #1 for me.

This has been stuck in my head for about an hour so this is me trying to get it out Not there's a Eurodance mix on and my wife is jamming out. I called it Eurotrash and the fake offense was priceless. I actually know most of these songs better than my wife because 90s dance music was my mom's jam. She rolled from disco into dance music. Anyways, now my son wants Michael Jackson videos.

Windows 7 is super unsecure, I'm pretty sure this is the way it's supposed to be

Chinese New Year event in D4 is a joke. You click on shrines for a Feat of Strength and kill enemies for an hour. Such awesome.

likely not for the same reasons as Gromnir, but am in agreement. 'tween normalization o' relations with china, passage o' epa/clean air and water legislation, the first real Presidential advocacy o' universal health care as well as the being the guy who got the fed involved in finding treatments and cures for cancer, not to mention numerous other nixon achievements, is fair to say we got mixed feelings 'bout nixon. is impossible to overlook vietnam dishonesty as well as watergate, and his Presidential campaigns were embracing vile racist elements, but he also increased the bia budget by more than 200% and did more to support tribal sovereignty legislation than any other President... maybe john quincy adams were an exception, but adams were a one-term President in large part 'cause his position on indian relations were so unpopular. nixon did not deserve to be President and his party rightful kicked him to the curb, but nixon were an effective chief executive with a whole lotta positive accomplishments studding his resumé. am not conflicted 'bout nixon, but more than just a little positive were the result o' the nixon admin. our mixed feelings is heavily weighted negative, but that don't mean we need ignore the accomplishments. trump don't have nixon's positive qualities. HA! Good Fun!

Even if I don't care about WH40k as a game anymore, I still love the lore and the setting

This makes me feel like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon. I'm getting too old for this $%&*

and am having some regret that our 80s self weren't appreciating stewart copeland in a manner befitting his contribution to the police. at the time we thought mr. copeland good drummer. fool. HA! Good Fun!

^^Mesmerizing, both visually and audio-ly. I watched it three times times so surely my algorithm is all jacked up now.

Hey everyone! Sorry for the trouble with the forums today. We ran an update that had some issues and it took awhile to fix. If you notice any additional problems, please let us know so we can take a look and get things back on track for you. Thanks and sorry once again

Im 20 hours into PoE2 and still loving it I appreciate the whole design of finding islands and exploring them, its a good way to motivate exploration especially if you need supplies on a long ship voyage I also decided to implement Level Scaling but only upwards, this was strongly recommended from people on Codex who pointed out combat becomes too easy if you dont do this and the level scaling is only by 4 levels so you wont find a level 10 rat, if the rat is level 2 it will only scale upwards to 6, which is silly and unrealistic Anyway it has made me much more strategic in battles. I was using the AI most of the time for my companions and now Im micromanaging more Im also really enjoying the broader narrative and interacting with the gods and understanding what are Eothas motives, I can see myself having to make huge and difficult decisions later on similar to the end of PoE1 but this time I understand more about the lore and history of the game world so my final decision about who I support should be better informed Im pursuing Romance with Xoti, Im helping her with her soul burden journey and I love her cute Southern accent

For the wub wub of God.

Level up my man. Play some Orthodox techno chanting:

A set of regrets? Both sounds accurate.

There are no benefits in joining BRICS. Instead, there are benefits in employing economic policies that characterize BRICS and emerging markets of the Global South, which are variations of the East Asian Miracle that was first started by Japan, then promoted by South Korea and Taiwan, and later Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and others, and finally China and Vietnam. That is, infrastructure development needed for mechanized agriculture, mining, and/or manufacturing, heavy coordination between private and public sectors and led by a government that promotes variations of nationalist economics, protection of key industries that have no competition (like utilities) and that have the possibility of impressive development and growth, and export orientation to make industrial sectors grow. What about the U.S.? As the Council of Foreign Relations: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/dollar-worlds-reserve-currency and even Stoltenberg of NATO: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_222258.htm implicitly reveal is that the power of the U.S. and that unipolar global economy lies in the use of the U.S. dollar as a global reserve currency. For that to be maintained, many countries have to be economically weak and thus dependent on the U.S. The U.S. ensures this through a combination of neoliberalism, such as structural adjustment policies via the IMF-WB that encourage client nations to promote free markets, and the military industrial complex, or collusion between rich-controlled industries and the military (with Congress) to use arms sales, military deals, etc., to ensure "freedom and democracy" for recipient countries, or neoconservatism. These go against the so-called model mentioned earlier, which is said to be a combination of 19th-century Prussian state policies and European mercantilism. Such a model leads to a multipolar economy where various currencies are used, if not something like variations of special drawing rights, so that no single country can dominate it by being able to have a global reserve currency. Besides, the latter leads to a Triffin dilemma, where one's exports become too expensive for many and importing becomes cheaper, leading eventually to trade deficits and the need to borrow continuously to meet increasing spending. That's what happened to the U.S., as it began to experience trade deficits starting in the mid-1970s and was able to compensate for that and increased spending by financial deregulation starting in the early 1980s, which in turn lead to increasing debt.

Wonka is also firmly in musical territory. It isn't just the Oompa Loompa's singing (although Hugh Grant is a riot), it's the whole town. I woke up humming a few of them.

none that i've been able to figure out.
