I guess we've reached the stage of occupation forces murdering people in broad daylight in Trump 2.0. Someone from Minnesota, like @Bartimaeus I believe, may correct me on it, but this is apparently a 15 walk from where George Floyd was suffocated. Really ****ed up, ICE needs to be abolished and Nuremberg 2 should happen for ICE specifically but probably the whole US government. It was.

It was very sad to watch that event this morning; the woman was clearly panicking and trying to flee, and was murdered for it. This administration is starting to rack up quite a body count, and I can only expect it will get worse. Well the anti-ICE folks now have their cause célèbres, so the protest will likely ramp up. I'm not opposed to anti-illegal immigration policing per se, but somehow it needs to be made clear to this administration that the abuse level is completely unacceptible. However, I suspect that all the protesting in the world will have little impact on this ruler. He's just not quite right in the head.

Poor Bruce.

Enshrouded: I found the snow biome. Or rather, I found some edges of it. I guess I didn't notice before because I've been using double-jump, gliding, and a lot of pickaxing to reach places before the game wants you to, I think. So I'm often in tunnels, or it's night, or --- Anyway - I glided and then made a tunnel upwards in this one spot. I hit patches of snow and new granite/blocks (I can now build snowmen). At one flat cliff ledge some way up, I plopped a base-altar. Good thing, since about 60 more seconds of tunneling upwards through rock, I wtf dropped dead, apparently from cold. Tried again, paid more attention, saw the tiny "frost death imminent" timer bar this time. So I went sideways. Found another snowy ledge, but this one had a nice, empty, pre-built fancy stone house. So I put a base altar in there as a foothold. there was a path upwards. So I tried again, just walking. Worked for a while, then that bar showed up again and I had to rush back down. I think it's "altitude" based, not the actual snow. Guess I need frost protection. I have zero idea how to get it. My altar stage is still only lvl 5, that's probably some of it. Each altar level (for me so far) has at least one (shroud) material required that is so annoying to get, even with 25+minute shroud-time. Either because of grind or getting lost finding a POI area or a spawn area etc. Dangit, guess I gotta grind.

Spent all day fighting with my AI agents and not in a cool Matrix way. The only bright side is that our jobs are safe for now. Happy New Year!!!!!

On your Easy, did you slide every slider full to left? Because one setting controls the numbers. Less/Normal/More, something like that. I left it on Normal because I don't care how many there are in most cases, as long as they die easy/don't kill me in one hit or whatever (bosses mostly, mobs are nothing). The enemy I had to farm is a flying one and it simply doesn't spawn many in the few shroud areas it can spawn. I only found one larger area where maybe 3 spawned, other spots just had one. I have now found coal, which means I can craft a hand-warmer, but I also need a certain kind of leather, which I do not have. Hehehe

Yep, especially when they use his handle in the post. It just seems super weird to be butthurt adjacent, not even having read the posts. I guess some people just have problems every day of the week that ends in "y".

Don't be silly: Just because I haven't taken the time to study the particulars of any of BruceVC's turds doesn't mean I'm blind or stupid: it's quite obvious who is being talked about when somebody like Zoraptor seems to call someone else disingenuous when there doesn't appear to be any inciting incident for it. That's only going to be one person responsible for that sort of thing around here these days, which is our very own BruceVC.

I remember now that you mention it. Iirc it was because even though he had already ignored you by using the forum function, he could still read your posts if someone quoted you. A more vindictive poster might even quote you on purpose! I guess the script he wrote must have broken with a forum software update or something cause hes back to "pooping in our mouths".

For me I think abolishing ICE is the bare minimum at this point, and we've still got 3 years of more in store for us. Democrats really need to hammer home how horrible it is instead of capitulation to Trump on immigration. I think there is more than enough corruption to purge the US government of all Trump appointees, everything from the Supreme Court to a dog catcher. Not sure how feasible it is or if the political will is there, but the precedent has been set. Frankly, I think if Democrats win the presidency in 2028 it will just be Biden again where they just try to forget about it in the name of normalcy.

Its the ole "I wont talk to him, Ill talk around him to still insult him" *kicks a rock*

Remembering all the times people were told that the US President wasn't really that powerful because of all the limitations in the US constitution so we didn't need to worry about Trump that much is almost enough to raise a smile. Until, of course, you remember it's actually deadly serious that suddenly all those limitations seem to have been thrown out the window. Maybe at least, maybe, having some balaclavaed brownshirt with a badge and a schlong that can only be detected under an electron microscope execute a woman on video may get a proper reaction since it was an actual factual american woman; but I don't think anyone will be holding their breath. Still, kudos to that mayor for telling Trump's off brand sturmabeitlung to eff off, and the non forum friendly version of the term too.

Enshrouded: --I see an entrance room like this in this game and I nope outta there. Don't get me wrong, most of such aren't that terrible or anything - outside of a couple platforming things, because I suck at platforming things - but some have taken a bit of time/effort or reloads. I ran out of patience already. 😉 As always, it's hard to get a picture of one's base. I haven't gone very extravagant, mostly functional. I also keep building upwards for workstations because I don't want to increase the "build area" of the base-altar, since it stops trees/plants/terrain/anything from respawning. --This is the front, at night. Notice all the NPC's in a line. Was tired of them wandering all over when I have to find/craft from them, so I made all their walking-distances to 0. They don't even go sleep in their beds anymore. There are too many craft-station-NPC's. >.> --The glowing blocks for lighting are the only things that don't go out when it rains so I use them a lot. --The back, night. It's a steep dropoff in back, roadside in front. --Similar backview, day. The porch floor below my chr is where the small farm-area is. Since apparently no sun is required.

The sad thing is, Volourn at his worst was never as bad as BruceVC at his best: at least Volourn was always exactly how he presented himself. I can appreciate that sort of sincerity, even if his behavior was generally kind of awful and usually not worth engaging with: he had real thoughts and beliefs, even some ones that didn't seem to follow what maybe anyone else in the world thinks, and he wasn't afraid to share them...and that's much better than all the "oh won't you please poop directly into my mouth" takes that BruceVC has always had.

Enjoy the New Year folks

People have been telling me this for about 30 years, I shall not relent!

No skin off my nose, just another **** on this forum in any case.
