  5. Welcome to the forum, Rihanna. So tomorrow is my 41st birthday, and I think I crammed in enough major achievements in year 40 to level up safely. It was a good year.

  6. https://store.steampowered.com/app/987720/ONINAKI/ ONINAKI the story in this game seems kinda familiar lol. I mean i know it a coincidence but really. Below is the description from steam "Reincarnation is the foundation of our way of life. We celebrate the lives we’ve been given, and offer up prayers for the next. It is grief of death which shackles the living, and causes the dead to stray. Indeed, there is no greater affront to reincarnation. So do we turn our grief to joy as we send off the dead. But the souls of those who held back their tears in life still need salvation in death. A duty that falls to the Watchers. Their task is to guide the wandering souls known as the Lost, and serve as keepers of the Living World and the Beyond. The Watchers sever the bonds that tie the Lost to this world, and send them on to the next. They navigate the emotions of the living and the dead. They prize life above all else. This is the story of one Watcher."

  7. Btw, if using community patch, shattered pillar wound limit of 10 works as long as you don’t take lesser wounds. Hopefully that will get fixed with an update but haven’t missed it myself.

  8. I forgot shattered pillar can produce wounds only by melee attacks. But he would use them to keep active dichotomus soul all the time. When enemy breaks first line or somehow reach your position, just resummon twins to protect you. I don't like to rely too much on wounds from damage when not being at front line, but you always can make teammates attack you few times or use scepter with modal, to generate wounds quickly and quite safely, or pick mortification od the soul. But in this case, you need source of healing, like paladin, druid or potions. It also lowers dps, which is undesirable with pure dps build.

  9. I couldn't finish FO4 because at some point I realized I don't want to side with any of those idiots. Well, that, and how you can make a Str 10 brute with all those OP melee perks and still your Flaming Sledgehammer O'Radiation+5 can be parried by sickly, mangy, malnourished raider junkie with a bent rusty fork. So stupid and annoying, if I wanted some "Prancing with swords" bullsh†t with pirouettes and triple axels and stuff I'd go with rapier, and if I wield a sledgehammer that's because I want to smear cranial material across the pavement without bothering with stupid parrying bullsh†t.

  10. So, the US tested a land launched tomahawk missile on Tuesday after withdrawing from the INF Treaty which previously prohibited them and launchers capable of firing them. Not really news as such, except they used the same Mark 41 launcher for the test they insisted was INF compliant in Aegis Ashore. Nice of them to provide the proof they'd been abrogating the treaty for years, though one suspects the avalanche of media admitting Russia was right on the issue will be a trickle, if that. Not something that can be blamed on Trump either this time, Aegis Ashore was to all practical purposes Obama's child (albeit it was GWB's baby) so the practical collapse of this treaty can be put at Obama's feet even if Trump did the actual withdrawal.

  12. I'm quite intrigued by this. The trailer may seem a bit "budget Interstellar" but looking at the names associated with this film it has the chance of being something quite special. James Gray's a pretty interesting director, Hoyte van Hoytema (also responsible for Interstellar) is in my opinion the finest cinematographer working today, Max Richter is an excellent composer, and the cast should be quite strong too. Then again it could all turn out to be a bit Counsellor too.

  13. People are wondering how Trinity and Neo play into a direct sequel to the original trilogy and here I am hung up on how the Resistance gets out of the Matrix now that pay phones aren't a thing anymore.

  15. Just for closure I will post one more time here. Had the funeral today, I wrote the tribute/eulogy. tried to make it light hearted and people laughed a bit and also read a poem at the end. I was shocked at how many people appeared, turns out my dad had a lot of friends. Around 15 family and 35 friends came. It was quite sad as the last time I saw most of them family members was my Grandmothers funeral. Feels like that is the only time we meet. I should remedy that. I also realised that Funerals are much more honest than Weddings. Everyone is very genuine and upset and honest, Weddings however there is a lot of taling behind backs and bitching.

  16. Think of beguilers like this: Almost by definition, you want to be casting spells more than you want to be attacking-to-generate-focus-to-cast-spells. Because if you'd be better off just attacking, you could do that at any time! The beguiler mechanic works like this: If you are casting a Deception spell, you pay the focus cost normally. But for every target you hit that has an affliction (including grazes, and INCLUDING the affliction you might have just applied with this very spell cast), you get 5+PL points of focus back. If you hit multiple targets with a relatively low-focus-cost spell, you GAIN focus. Even for higher-cost spells, if they hit multiple targets, their focus cost is significantly reduced. The two stars for this: 1) Eyestrike (only costs 10 focus, at max level you gain 2 focus (5+PL 7) only hitting only 1 target, and if you hit 2 or more you rapidly turn a profit). 2) Phantom Foes (costs 20 focus, but affects a MUCH larger area, so it is very easy to rack up a lot of focus if the board is full). Play your cards right, and you should be able to spend most of the fight casting Deception spells without needing to stop and make weapon attacks. This shines in particular in multiclass with casters. Normally that would be a bad choice because spellcasting from the other class doesn't generate you any focus. But if your primary goal is casting Deception spells mostly/exclusively, you don't NEED to generate much if any focus to do that, so you're more or less free to cast either kind of spell without worry. Psion has a very similar friendly-to-caster synergy because they generate focus even while spellcasting, but most people still prefer Beguiler overall for that role. This also can be friendly for tanks, because there are a ton of fast-casting Deception spells which even a tank can safely cast without worry of interrupts, it plays well into the tank's role of board control, and the tank's typical downside of slow action speed and long recovery is mitigated by the generally long-term payoff of long-duration debuffs, which don't need huge throughput to get coverage. On that note, Borrowed Instinct IS a Deception spell, and it is amazeballs-effective for a tank. So what's the downside? The chief downside is that beguilers' focus generation from attacking is poor compared to vanilla ciphers or ascendants. With Draining Whip (the default, and the way you should basically always be thinking about your focus generation), vanilla ciphers get 100% Focus per point of damage, Ascendants get 125% Focus per point of damage, and Beguilers get 75% Focus per point of damage if the target has an affliction, or only 50% if the target does not have an affliction (although if you're in this situation the fight should be well advanced enough that you should at least have Flanked, so it's your own damn fault if the target isn't afflicted). So if you wind up using up your focus, and either don't have enough to cast the Deception spell you want, or if it's late enough in the fight that there's no sufficient cluster of enemies to generate positive returns via your Deception focus mechanic, then you will be regaining focus more slowly than you otherwise would. This is partially mitigated if you're saving up to cast Deception spells, because you will need to still save up the full price, but you'll still be getting some of it back even if you only hit one target.
