As far as I understood, injuries won't go away unless you rest. Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, resting is no longer restricted to supplies, but to food. If you want to remove an injury, you need to eat something while you rest. Obviously hardtack is also a resource to be used by the crew and so on so that has to be managed as well.

Per-rest spells started out, like many things, as something Gygax thought was a good idea at the time. I have a soft spot for the method, myself. It makes magic feel like kind of a big deal while restricting it. I enjoyed it in Dying Earth and Discworld. But as a balancing method in a game, it loses what effectiveness it had the moment you step out of an old-school dungeon crawl. In a tabletop game, it relies heavily on the GM's willingness and ability to enforce strict pacing. If the players manage to control their own pace, or the story the GM envisioned just doesn't work with having exactly four fights or challenges before the PCs have a chance to rest. In a video game, there's not even that, because there's no GM. The most the game can do is just decide the player can't rest in a given place. At which point the player will simply sit on those spells, just in case. There might be a way to somehow balance it, but I'd really rather they spent the time and effort it requires on more than three classes. To add to the above, it's very easy for a player to find ways around rest limitation mechanics usually employed in these games. Can't rest in a given place or ran out of supplies? No matter, just go back to the place where you can rest infinite times, and then head back. In a system like Pillars the only big waste in retreading, aside from the player's real-life time, is in-game time, but stronghold aside there's very little in the game that uses time as a resource. So there's probably some system out there where backtracking could be penalized in some fashion - maybe quests are time-critical, or food items rot or the likes, and so it's not convenient to head back to the nearest tavern to rest - but that's really not the case for Pillars and so ultimately resting is more of a mere nuissance than a critical resource.

Good idea. But he actually said "Mach die Beine auf Mama" (Open the legs mama), "Was geht mich deine Leiche an?" (What do I care for your corpse?) and "Yippi ya ya, yippi yippi yeah!" I didn't use parts of songs, as I didn't want music in there. I wanted it to sound like a real voice set. I was very proud of it back then. Mainly I built the character around quotes from "The Hamlet machine". "Ich war Hamlet" (I was Hamlet), "Mein Gehirn ist eine Narbe" (My brain is a scar) and such kind of stuff. He was a mysogenist psychopath with the secret desire to become woman himself. So he was kind of destined to find that short sword that had bonuses against women. I just checked, the soundset isn't online anymore. I'll put it back. Now I'm nostalgic I don't recall that short sword. I do recall that cursed girdle though... Sounds like an interesting character all in all.

Did he swing his melee weapons while screaming "fütter mein ego"?

So let's get this straight... You hate Antifa because they allegedly "promote violence", but you've never met an Antifa in your life, never traded words with them or engaged in any manner of debate with them, and still you would hunt them down and in your own words "fight and hurt" these people you've never met? Need I point the blatant contradiction here? Anyhow, I'll echo Lord_Mord about 1984. Well I do know they harrased my political party leader nothing really serious but they were calling him names and threatened with violence but he simply left and went to the car and that was the end of it. Masked men that did it. They actually pushed him witch can be called physical assault and he made a police report about it and it hit newspapers briefly since this was a political party leader. He was alone at that point and not surrounded by party supporters. In addition I know a public place a toilet that was vandalised by them at a rock consert place in my country. I hate ANTIFA. In my country they do their best to hide well so I have no idea where they might meet or have their headquarters in my country. No offense but it seems to me that you really ought to take a deep look at your arguments here and consider where you're getting your sources from, how are you arriving to your conclusions and to what conclusions you do arrive as well. You hate Antifa for promoting violence because they attacked the leader of your political party, and your response to this is to answer them with further violence? You do see that is making of you an advocator and promoter of violence too, right? And what if everything you've been told is a load of wash? What if this whole bloody issue between your political parties is that your mutual hate makes you so bullheadedly self-assured in your ways that you cannot see how a dialogue between either side may result in a compromise that is actually *better* than the proposition made by either of your ideologies? Sure it's all a bit naïve and utopic and it ignores the fact that, as very well shown in 1984, ideologies thrive in creating conflict and opposition too, especially the more authoritarian and extremist sorts - but all the same I'm a staunch believer in the idea that every individual is inherently syncretic and no one ideology or action ever defines the entirety of that individual's person. Far as I'm concerned there's always multiple facets and ideological conflicts within each and every person, no individual is a full embodiment of "X", and thus the whole idea of *yearning* to seek someone out and beat their ideology out of them through actual physical violence, be they Antifa, fascist or else, is... Disturbing, to say the least. Not to mention utterly futile. So, to give an example... I come from a family with a fair bit of cultural background and "presence" within Argentina and Europe, my great grandfather was the mayor of Zagreb right before WWII started and through the several authoritaran regimes both right and left since, we lost claim to the 50+ properties we once owned before the war. Another of my great grandfathers in Argentina was the urbanist that designed the avenue 9 de Julio that crosses the centre of Buenos Aires, as well as its diagonals and the same diagonals in La Plata. We were close friends with plenty of the "elite" at the time, my granduncle was himself considered by Jorge Luis Borges his closest companion and the only person who truly understood him. This great grandfather of mine however was a rather vocal anti-Peronist, and when Perón assumed a place as president he obviously lost his position and so on. However Perón, being himself a fascist and so on, didn't really end his persecution of anti-Peronism in Argentina at that - my great grandmother owned at the time a couple of textile industries, and it was because of their association with anti-Peronism and their continued meetings with anti-Peronist groups (which, mind, was just a thinker's meeting, not the sort that you'd see later on with Operation Liberation and so on, and still had to be kept secret) that the government saw fit to confiscate all of our production and eventually expropriate our factories. All for no other reason than to punish the opposition. So my family has a fair bit of beef with fascism, Peronism, communism, Nazism, you name it... It's right there in the things we lost and the things we could have been today. Still, today I form part of a music band where I'm the *sole* member of the band who's not a staunch Peronist... And that's okay. We have our arguments, our ideological oppositions and so on, and it's okay, we chat them over, through a beer or two, and do so in typical heated fashion but it always resolves amicably in the end. You know why? Because people are more than whatever ideology they abscribe to. Maybe that Antifa bloke who you so desperately want to punch in the face is not the evil man you make him out to be, and you would get along over a pint or two. And even though I'm not a communist or a Peronist I certainly respect a number of aspects to either their actions or their ideology - maybe you would too of your most spited enemy. Anyhow, enough 6am drunken rambling on my behalf. The moral is ultimately to love thy neighbour or something. Unless it's Chile. **** Chile.

So let's get this straight... You hate Antifa because they allegedly "promote violence", but you've never met an Antifa in your life, never traded words with them or engaged in any manner of debate with them, and still you would hunt them down and in your own words "fight and hurt" these people you've never met?

But Rogue One was great! And yes I disagree with RLM on it, even though I still found the skit funny.

Reviews so far have been generally quite positive though: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ready_player_one I guess we'll have to see.

So here's what I could find from Josh on the matter, from one of the earliest Q&As for Deadfire (and the reason to why I'm not sure it still applies): (Source: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/120695299?t=58m02s ) So suppression is still a thing for consumables and abilities, which I think is fine, but not for items. The above is pretty much what I'd love to see, since it removes the burden from the player to have to sort out their items so that they do not come in conflict with one another whilst finding a rather simple and unobtrusive way of keeping bonuses balances or not permitting the player to stack attributes in excess. After all you can't wear boots on top of boots for example, you have to choose and that choice feels a lot easier to grasp and work with than having to measure a certain item against the rest of your inventory on top of it. It also makes minor items relevant again, since hey, those gloves of +1 dexterity are suddenly not made worthless by those sandals of +4 dexterity, to give an example, and maybe that's just what you need for your build.

Aw, Indira, you're making me blush! With regards to exits/entrances, I don't recall having much of a problem with the doors as much, but I did have plenty of problems with the icons you mention for exiting world maps. It was very annoying how, quite often, the the icon would move *away* from the cursor when trying to click it, which was especially prominent whenever your UI was in the way of things. It's a minor problem for me, but I agree that it'd be nice to just make the edge or threshold clickable itself so as to access it, as it would probably aid in avoiding these issues.

And season 2 of Legion...

Still bitter that Fenstermaker’s pitch won, eh? Kinda sad Wait... what's the issue here? Have I missed something? Each writer had to pitch their narrative to the owners. Winner got to be narrative lead for Pillars 1. Eric won, Chris lost. Sad that the great MCA lost? Personally I really loved Eric's writing. Some of the most refreshing stuff I've seen in the industry. I'm glad the lead narrative. I don't think it's a knock against MCA that someone else is also talented. It was my impression that Josh and Carrie were sort of splitting the narrative writing, with Carrie being the lead as Josh also has a character and then the mechanics and project lead. Of course Eric is back writing Eder. Carrie is probably sticking to Aloth and Josh Pallegina. I'm curious who is writing which new companion. Do we know yet? I think Megan Starks was writing Xoti. The wiki also credits both Maia Rua and Tekehu to Paul Kirsch.

I reiterate, this forum is especially hopeless today. I sympathize though, the Deadfire delay also hit me pretty hard.

Too late, the pollution is thick!!! and unfortunately oozing out!!! Sure, but you don't clean the river by throwing more toxins into the Jada jada I dont respect your political views so how about that.

Chilloutman's Czech, if I recall correctly.

Do you think I pretend otherwise? I actually would have less against you unless you critice videos that say bad about ANTIFA. Even a few of my friends that are true left party dislike very much ANTIFA. Being left party and a bit say liberal or whatever you want to call it is one thing. Defending ANTIFA there goes the line. ANTIFA are anarchists. My friends from left party said ANTIFA does nothing good for their cause. Only a small portion of the left party very small percentage are ANTIFA people. ANTIFA believe in violence and such bull****. Personally I have never met any ANTIFA people live. I've heard enough from the authors of the above videos to know that their content is (usually) trash. I'm not giving them another view on my behalf, as I would rather not pollute my head with filth. My position with regards to Antifa is besides the point.

Do you think I pretend otherwise?

I am also fine, or think I will be anyhow... I can hold on for two months, right? It's... Just around the corner, right?! I just... Need to wait and not do anything drastic... *whimpers*

Happy birthday, Tek!
