if you have the wall up before you go invisible, then you'll stay invisible the entire time. the only thing that breaks from hazard effects triggering is normal stealth. turn-based mode makes the mechanical difference more obvious - for normal AoEs you can run in and out of them during your turn without getting hit, regardless of tick frequency or timing. with hazards, you trigger their effects as soon as you enter their zone, and for each step (making wall spells stupidly good in TB mode because the hazard damage is 6x-ed for TB mode adjustment, even for the per-step damage). but it's a very subtle difference in RTwP honestly, I don't imagine many people are optimizing for this difference, and RTwP came first anyway so it's not like they had this in mind.

So, what do you like about Tiny Fishing that makes it worthwhile to play? I am currnetly playing We Are Warriors on my phone, which is a great idle game with just a smidgen of strategy involved. You can unlock cool skills and fun heroes, and best of all, if you're stuck - as it is normal with idle games - you can just open your wallet and buy yourself progression. The best part is how that progression is random, so you don't even know if you can proceed after buying in-game currency. If you get unlucky it'll just increase your units' hitpoints, and not their damage. But! During events you can just buy additional points for the skill tree. And they're only 2.49€ per piece. What a great deal!

Elon Musk, seeing how he already suggested a zero tariff policy between the US and EU.

If the devs used the code base from occasional hirelings such as Brutish Warrior for Korgrak (why wouldn't they?) - and didn't adapt it, so that he's a one-time hireling only - then that might happen.

Iirc Wall spells break invisibility of Smoke Veil and Shadowing Beyond but not Arkemyr's Brilliant Departure. And yeah: they are a total mess. Like half stationary summons, half pulsing spells. I really don't know why. Imo mechanically there is no reason why they couldn't be implemented like all the other pulsing spells (just not with a circular AoE but a line - and 1 sec pulses instead of 3 secs).

I'm not sure it even needs the equivocation of 'could' in this case- difficult to think of any circumstance in which it won't, and in some ways it already has with the share volatility and drop in confidence etc. And it's only been ten weeks(?) since he was inaugurated. Trump clearly has some sort of bullet point/ white board type plan of what he wants to do, but a lot of it is mutually exclusive if you take the obvious consequences into account- the equally obvious problem being, as below, he isn't taking those obvious consequences into account. And is picking fights with everyone, simultaneously. Do that and you better be absolutely sure you really are the Big Dog who no one can live without, for sure. While not directly tariff related, Trump's made Denmark look utterly moronic for buying F-35s rather than a Euro alternative. The biggest threat to Denmark's territorial integrity can now turn off their biggest defensive asset, whenever they want. Can't really get bigger motivation for Europe to pull finger on a Eurofighter 2030 type project, so at the same time as Trump is demanding greater defence spending he's giving very good reason for avoiding doing so on US equipment and motivation to create competitors to near US monopolies (see also Mastercard/ VISA etc). It's basically an enhanced Madman Doctrine, and the trouble with that is that if you give enough people enough motivation you don't end up with people paying you to go and bother someone else for a bit, you end up in a room with mattresses for walls.

Cut the man some slack y'all, will you, he's a stable genius who saw that trade and economic relations no longer guarantee peace when Putin's Russia invaded the Ukraine and how COVID affected global supply chains. He's also seen how little materiel the West can really produce when needed, and rightly attempts to bring back manufacturing to the US. In case of an all out war against the Chinese, the industrial base and all the resources need to be at home to win a protracted war of attrition. Which is actually be a sensible position to have, and the Biden administration had that on the agenda, at least in some ways. It's just that the US has an deranged idiot at the helm who surrounded himself with lickspittles and yes-men, and now nobody's left to tell him that the emperor is naked. Trying to make sure that any eventualities in a potential conflict with China are planned for is a good thing. Alienating all your allies and trade partners in a block of equal economic and purchasing power or on those who whold a monopoly in certain goods is not. Taiwan, IIRC, as already stated that they are not going to react to the tariffs. Sitting on a de-facto monopoly, they can afford to. What are the US companies going to do, stop buying from TSMC? Now, if only there'd been some incentives act aimed at breaking that monopoly. Can't quite put my finger on it. Must be something that the libtards wasted money on. Just because Trump thinks this should have been done decades ago, does not mean it will work now. The world's a much different place, and while the United States is still a large chunk of the global trading volume and GDP, it is no longer as relevant or consequential as they used to be. That could backfire very hard, very quickly. Plus it just proves that the word of the president of the United States is worth nothing, and no treaty with the US is worth the paper it is written on. Which has always been the case in some ways (ask the Kurds), but never like this, and never that much and directly against the inner circle. I mean they even pissed off the otherwise nice Canadians, and that takes some doing.

Im surprised how much I'm enjoying avowed. It might just be my strong bias towards obsidian games. I also wonder if I had played this before KCD2 if my thoughts would have changed. Main character has a set role. Choices are pretty basic. Missions are very repetitive and yet... I am really enjoying myself. It could be that Eora is doing the heavy lifting.

the wall spells are "hazard" effects, which are real weird. (there are a few other hazard effects--like priest seals [not the symbols]--but the walls are the most obvious) they remember some of your stats and buffs, but not all... and IIRC ring of focused flame is not one of them. in general they remember your stats and your level (for accuracy purposes and i'm somewhat sure for PL scaling purposes), but everything else is a hodge podge that probably doesn't work or partially works. (For example, assassin's assassinate bonus applies the accuracy bonus... but not the crit or PEN bonus. also doesn't break invisibility) edit to add: they also remember being empowered. but because they are disconnected from you, IIRC they don't benefit from the various empower talents, nor do you trigger things like least unstable coil. also, yeah wall of flame is pretty good, much more damage than thorns or force. 5-8 damage every second is 15-24 damage per tick (or 30-48 damage per turn/per step of movement in turn based). not shabby. not a good spell for AI to use against you because it's easy for you to step away, but against enemies taht just stand there in melee engagement, it'll rack up lots of damage.

And there's this...
