*Laughs in wood burning stove*

Unless I'm mistaken, it isn't explicit in the mod installation instructions

Yep!

It helps to not forget that the gaming and DIY market is relatively small, large volumes are mostly moved through OEMs, an area where AMD never really got their foot in the door. It's the reason why Intel still has a massive x86 market share (70 to 80%), in spite of the 13th/14th gen problems and notebook CPUs prior to Lunar Lake being noticably less efficient, and AMD outselling Intel at larger DIY retailers (top sellers in CPUs since forever on Amazon, Mindfactory in Germany or Microcenter, etc., perhaps with the exception of the time when Alder Lake was faster than Ryzen 3 and comparatively good value) since basically Ryzen 1's much better price/performance ratio. That said, I just checked what I paid for the GeForce 256 back in 1999, and that is, adjusted for inflation, 550€. Graphics card prices weren't always peaches and sunshine back in the day either.

This is one of the things I dislike about my air fryer. The "preheated" and "turn food" tone is so low I literally cant hear it unless Im standing there babysitting the damn thing. So now I just set the microwave timer.

The last couple of posts made me go over to my parents and check their Miele induction glasstop stove. Not a single scratch on the surface, no scuffed look - and my mother suffers from Parkinson's disease, so the pans and pots move a little more than they probably should. That definitely works, but they also cost an arm and a leg.

I use water sitting on the surface for while, maybe 409 or windex after, paper towels or sponge or the "nonstick scrubber" plastic side sponges. I've used the Easy-Off type oven spray oven cleaner to remove the black glue. I have never shaken/shake-slide a pan because I cook nothing that requires it (also, full pans are rather heavy for me these days). I use a wooden spoon to stir/move pan contents around and like I said, if the pan bottom is not perfectly flat/has become a bit warped, this action alone will cause the pan to "walk" across the surface eventually so it's no longer centered over the burner coils and then I pick it up and move it again. Over and over. I did recently buy a new "wok" type pan and it's flat/more stable. Most (cheaper) pans also have all that texturing on the underside/outside bottom for some reason - machined circle lines and logos, whatever. The surface was already damaged but it's grown worse since we took over, possibly due to my wobbly pans (that didn't feel wobbly on coil burners, cause you don't notice as much I guess). I can't be bothered to take a pic of my actual stovetop but this picture from reddit shows what I mean. I see videos of "do these many steps to clean or polish" and frankly I can't be bothered. It annoys me because exposed coil burners I didn't have to think/notice about such at all - but it doesn't annoy me enough and I don't care enough to fiddle with powders, polishes, razor blades or multi-steps. It is what it is. Edit: to be clear, ours is not induction. Just glass over burner coils.

Sorry, forgot about that. Did mention it before and others were talking about it, and pillars of eternity has no dodgeroll, but yeah.

I mean, it's on him for using an abbreviation of a game that is very similar to the abbreviation of a game made by Obsidian.

Guys, like, @MrBrown is talking about Path of Exile 2, not Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

One thing that I can remove from my to do list I was like "hey, at some point CP people will do it, but just in case, I'lll keep an eye on it". But I never did anything Just to be sure : you can use your mod with CP. Do you have to put it in lower loading priority compared to CP to make it work (which would ensure it properly overrides CP) ?

Taken solely as the 2 minute clip you posted, I like it. It seems like the magician girl is realizing that she's just a dream of a young(er) child, one that disappears as the kid becomes a teenager in a much different reality than what she dreamed of. And then haunting refrain at the end of the girl at her desk invokes the kind of longing for her childhood dreams in the face of the reality of (young) adulthood. For me it hits like a more wholesome speedrun of Mulholland Drive, but I didn't watch the anime or OVA. What I did watch was the most recent Dandadan. Boy howdy I wish other shows paid their animators better because it's nice to not see PS2 era CGI. Also the idea of an anatomical model from a science class coming to life to search a dump for a discarded anatomical model that it's in love with is honestly not anything I would have put on a bingo card but here we are. Not the worst surprise of 2024.

I guess we need to get "Shoot CEO's, not schools" trending.

Armour designs are something else

I reached the next area in Indy game and while it is a bit more involved ala Vatican/Egypt sections in terms of gameplay loops, my motivation to continue shrinks every minute. It's not that anything has changed/grown worse per se - the loops have just become too repetitive/not engaging enough. I may eventually get around to it but I'm in no rush. Based on my time and forum posts I think the 25-35 hours to finish the game (not completionist) and maybe 45-50ish (completionist) are fairly accurate. I've maybe done 60-75% vs. 100% in all areas. It's not a very long game I think. My favorite things in this game are the long Indy story scenes (some of them are very entertaining in that Indy campy way), some of the area designs/artwork (lots of details in some ways). Gizeh/Egypt was the highlight. But in the end, I would definitely recommend either trying it on Gamepass if you have that, or waiting for at least a moderate sale. Indiana Jones vibe/nostalgia - 9/10 Gameplay, AI/mechanics/loops - 5/10 "tomb-ing/exploring/puzzling satisfaction" - 3/10 (because there was not enough of it)

Yeah, its not up yet

Hiding the evidence. I have fun with this part. (had to lighten the pics some, it's dark in there)
