Going back to give Tyranny another try. I'm enjoying it a little more now.

N/M

Because "metagaming"? From one perspective the NPCs are a gaming resource, which sometimes get expended. What this did for me is provide an incentive for a party member to intervene when an NPC gets in a bad tactical position, which is probably a more realistic behavior.

Yes I had crew members die on my latest play-through. I suppose it provides an added incentive to avoid boarding actions against tougher opponents, as well as to hire new crew mates.

I finally finished up a complete play-through Deadfire. It was a more enjoyable experience this time since I didn't prioritize chasing Eothas and just went where the story took me. Now I'm off to do the same with P:WotR. Yeah, it's almost retro gaming at this point.

Editor FreshLook on the Vault has been doing some interesting work to enhance the game appearance: https://forum.neverwintervault.org/t/project-fl/409 This would work with the existing game engine, adding ambient occlusion, ground fog, fixes to transparency, water depth, improved shadows, and multiple light sources for grass. Unfortunately, I think this is a long way from release.

It would have been more interesting tactically if sailing in opposite directions ended up putting more distance between the two ships.

Okay now my posts are vanishing. I feel like I'm being covertly censored here.

I got in a weird state on this forum so that I couldn't even like a post or use the contact tool. It either told me I was blocked or the system was in a bad state. The only fix was to clear out my cookies for the last month.

Here it's another winter snow adventure. My exit is an uphill sheet of ice that's about to get even worse with overnight freezing rain. That could knock out the power here, and it may not thaw until after Christmas. Just great.

Happy holidays everybody! (Says the guy who's retired and doesn't need any stinkin' holidays...)

I suppose they could just do alternating set plays rather than extra time. That would at least involve the full teams.

Well that was a fun match, and a good tourney all around. I look forward to 2026.

Yep. They didn't include a bed in the B-2 design so the crew had to lug along a lightweight deck chair for those long missions to Iraq.

Do you suppose this one will have a bunkbed?

Germany. Thank Germany.

Good match. Too bad it didn't go to extra time.

Has there been a World Cup with this many upsets? It's surely been a while.

New research links common sweetener with anxiety Okay, now this one is concerning. Aspartame is widely consumed, so imagine what impact it might have on society.
