Nah, they know very well what's what. They just WANT to do live services as hooking players through rewards systems is more reliable than having to make a good game people like.

Doesn't seem like they've learned much. https://twistedvoxel.com/ea-ceo-dragon-age-the-veilguard-failed-due-to-lack-of-live-service-elements/

Well two employees are special enough to get access. Just skeptical the data will be as guarded as promised and the two specials won't be Musk and another

Sorry, I dont follow your thoughts...literally the entire paragraph you quoted is a change from the plan DOGE has.

Almost a week later, as if Musk and his little gangster squad didn't already made a copy of whatever they needed right away.

DOJ agrees to temporarily block DOGE from Treasury records - Ars Technica

I do not agree. Combining Paladin with a Druid makes the Druid a lot more sturdy and way easier to play. To keep yourself alive you don't need to use your precious spells. For a Fury it may even be the only early way to emergency-heal (Taste of the Hunt, Second Wind and items aside). SC offensive Druid (like all glass cannons) may be more impactful in theory and if you are good with controlling crowds, but they do zero offense as soon as they go down. If players are struggling with such kind of things, this combo is a good pick - because you don't sacrifice a lot of offense while gaining a lot of survivability and potential versatility. I value it (way) higher than Fighter/Druid. Tactician's Brilliance aside, what would that combo do better? If the paladin side had no tools to help the Druid's offense (while "only" adding a lot of sturdyness) it would maybe be a lame combo. But the fact that you can easily (and early) add +20% additive damage via Sworn Enemy (and even get that Zeal back) and +15% lash damage means you don't lose much offensive spell impact while gaining massive improvements on the survivability side. And that doesn't even take added versatility into account. And I think you guys never really tried a melee Paladin/Druid with combined Nature's Terror + Sacred Immolation (and lots of healing) who walks into enemy groups and casts Inspired Beacon (that's not mandatory, it's just fun and it works). Paladin's defenses + Moonwell + Hands of Light allowing to tank while two pulsing AoEs (plus lash) melt surrounding foes. It is great and fun, especially against mobs. Also the point about summons is not correct imo. If you wanted to focus on supporting your summons you can use Lay on Hands, Shared Flames, Exalted Endurance (or Ex. Focus). How's that not supporting your summons? If you'd made all those points against Rogue/Druid or Fighter/Druid I would understand them better.

Ive seen it mentioned that Malkovich could be playing The Red Ghost, The Mole Man or even Franklin Richards.

Nope, the parts are not there. That's just your starting gear and nothing else. You can find the parts in your captain's cabin (inside a cabinet) after you get your ship back floating from Maje Island.

For the first time in about 12 years, I don't actually owe money in taxes. This is a huge relief. Buying a house made a massive dent in what I can deduct. Sure, it means I paid like $50k in interest, but it is still better than throwing away money on rent.

Yeah pet from forgotten sanctum

I just hate Steam for taking focus twice on startup. On to Kotor 2 now with the restoration mod. Have an annoying bug where the camera spins constantly after a cutscene, I guess it's an issue with my mouse driver. New D4 season is interesting, sure is faster than before with the witch powers.

I dunno if I'm the only one left who doesn't have steam auto-run/start on pc reboot, full-exits steam all the time/hard restarts it whenever I want it open etc, but if anyone else does that, have you noticed it taking a lot longer to fully open when in "Offline" mode in the past couple days (it's really half-offline these days)? Like it's update check is taking forever. If I actually unplug the pc net cable it starts up really fast like it used to, then I plug the net cable back in. Their Offline mode is seriously not an Offline mode anymore. It should just be called "Online Game/Social Features Disabled, Mode" instead.

Made some shiny updates to the fora that only Admin can see right now for a certain something that's coming in February ...
