Dodging Hedgehogs in a Type IX-C in 1945 in the GWX super-mod for Silent Hunter III was my nightmare. Anyhoo in my experience it's usually best to plot a surface course to a point far ahead of the convoy's current path then dive to below the thermocline and come to full stop (the drawing tools on the navigation station are your friends for this). Then as you pick up the merchant ships on your hydrophones come to periscope depth and at max go to 3 kts to manuever. Also you don't have to go out of your way to sink 3 ships in a convoy for a good haul; just one 10000t tanker could put you well on your way to beating Kretschmer's tonnage kills.

Well in Vermintide the Witch Hunter also dual-wielded flintlock pistols (and going by the ammo counter, he would have had at least 40 under his coat) and simply dropped the empty ones after firing and reaching into his coat for a fresh one. I suppose for POEII that kind of animation would suffice and just take the game's word for it that after the encounter your PC picked up all the empty guns and reloaded them all before the next encounter.

Or you could have a brace of flintlocks on your persons. Granted, you wouldn't be able to put out as much dakka downrange as you would with all these Derringers, but you get the idea:

Oh, the curse of a 9-5 job. When I try that out when I get home I'll be crushed by people with experience. Well, that and because my reflexes have dulled over the years.

Woah. Don't say anything you can't take back:

Not only that; there would appear to be pretty significant story advancement for them in the pipe (on top of Cadia having been blown the 'eff up):

Would be lovely to see a cRPG with a Harlequin party. They have all the DnD archtypes represented - Fighters: Thief: Mage: Ranger: Though I'd be pretty psyched to see a DMC/Bayonetta-style action game featuring the Solitaire. Given how they can eat an Imperial Knight alive in the tabletop, this isn't too far from how it would look:

Mad Max with heroin, highly impractical BDSM gear, pointy-ends galore... Actually, yes, Mad Max IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

Would be pretty cool if it also led to a PC game based on GW's upcoming "Gangs of Commorragh" game, though that would probably be dependent on that game selling well and even then it'd be quite some time before it would come out in digital form ("Can't let digital bi-furcate the player-base, no-sir-ree-bob").

This isn't me "gloating" about an inauguration that may or may not have had anemic attendance as compared to the inaugurations of other Presidents. Many have said that we should hope for the best from a Trump presidency, but frankly Trump spending so much energy worrying about what others think of him means I have my doubts he has any post-The Day After Reagan surprises in store for the US. https://youtu.be/ctmZGSyMFy4?t=3m48s George W. Bush took plenty of guff from the Daily Show, the Colbert Report and the like, and through it all he behaved presidential; there were strong criticisms (and some of them I thought were even valid) of Obama throughout his two terms and I hardly think he let that get to him. It's up to Trump to either crap or get off the pot, because from what my family and I have known of him for the close to thirty years we've had to read about him in the papers or hear in the news his talk is worth less than a one trillion Zimbabwean dollar note.

Hopefully we get to meet Klovis the Redeemer: Scratch that, hopefully not.

"We have to give him the chance. He can grow into the offi-"

I was kind of stupefied that some haven't figured out from close to thirty years of his antics that Trump was the most hollow, fleeting, and perjured man possible... then I glanced at the newstand at my supermarket and realised there was something that should have tipped me off: People had to be buying enough National Enquirer magazines to keep the lights on at their offices and made their rag such a perennial sight at store checkouts

Then again, Andrew Jackson was actually physically brave, didn't have access to near instantaneous (and unfiltered) intercontinental communication (though if he did, he probably wouldn't have fought the battle that would have propelled him into the public consciousness), and ~1500 strategic offensive warheads ready to go in 5 minutes on receipt of orders at his disposal.

I will say that it seemed to have the same pitfall PS:T had where it disproportionately favoured a certain build to get the most out of the game (a high wisdom character in PS: T). In the case of Numenera the experience of playing a Nano with mind-scan and high stats in the various Lore and Mechanics skills went a lot further narratively-speaking than the "Graceful Jack with a Silver Tongue" I made my first playthroughs with.

It was hard for me to pass judgement on the combat encounters (or "crises," as they are called in this game), perhaps because the early access version only represents a small fraction of the final game, but also because it was difficult for me to measure whether or not they were a substantial improvement over those of Planescape (which had encounter design that actually made me put the game down) due to the transition from RTwP to Turn-based. From what I've played so far there was probably only one or two that measured up to the encounter design of some great turn-based RPGs like Original Sin and ToEE, since they allowed for players to exploit their surroundings, but the rest did things like pitting you against 10 of the same enemies in a relatively wide open arena or just one big boring enemy.

That made my day :D Thanks for that.

The teaser image depicts a smoking pipe and a stalk of wheat. Edér has a stalk of wheat hanging from his mouth, and he's fond of smoking with a pipe, so I guess that implies he would be a returning (or even THE central) character of the sequel.

Project Louisiana teased by Obsidian. Many have bet that it's Pillars of Eternity 2. It would seem to imply Edér as a returning character or even a central figure (his portrait has a stalk of wheat hanging from his mouth, and he smokes a pipe).

Didn't think it worth necroing a topic I created that last had someone post there close to three years ago, but I'm glad someone uploaded this blast from the past from Jane's Fleet Command onto Youtube: "Vampires inbound! Birds affirm!"

"I don’t care if it’s a Target. I don’t care if it’s a TJ Maxx. I don’t care if it’s K-Mart. They have sweatpants. It’s required by law for them to have sweatpants. Sometimes it’s Russell. Sometimes it’s Hanes. Champion. McGregor. It doesn’t matter- you will get a good price! But you know what, man? You can’t put a price on personal improvement. Believe that. Now listen up: You walk into that store. You walk to directly to that section. You know where it is. Don’t act like you don’t! You go to the section, you find a pair, and you put those on right there in the store. Let them see you do it! Let them see the new you. Because you’re different now. It’s real- it’s not in your head! Then take a good look at yourself and tell me you haven’t achieved a new level of power, freedom, and physical comfort. Now some people are going to say, 'You look like an idiot!' You know what I say to those people? I say... Move back when i'm wearing my sweatpants. Stay back when i'm wearing my sweatpants. Kick back when i'm wearing my sweatpants. Come back when you've bought some sweatpants."

Have to hope Mattis can make like a mushroom and bloom wherever he's planted. If Trump's management style is anything to go by, Mattis could be in for a rough ride.

Mattis Backs F-35 Stealth Fighter Criticized by Trump Called this on the Credible Defense reddit. Still, I have to imagine Trump's thought process of deciding that a Superbug used by the Navy would be adequate for _Air Force_ requirements: "Quality means everything, just like the name 'Trump!' Look at that name 'Superhornet'! It's from the 'Super-,' you know. It says that it's great and means 'quality'! Only the greatest, the best for our Air Force!"

trump Presidency in 2:07 Congressional impotence is partial to blame for the possibility of trump. even so, is only so much trump can screw up domestic w/o Congress adopting a Three Wise Monkeys posture. am hopeful trump scares Congress outta their indolence. HA! Good Fun! Was speaking more to the possibility of a mixture of carelessness, lack of experience, and attention-seeking that could lead to an unintentional security breach, I'm reminded of this passage from David E. Hoffman's "The Billion Dollar Spy": In the same book, Adolf Tolkachev AKA CKSPHERE was compromised by an agent-in-training, Edward Lee Howard who was fired. He did not know his name but nonetheless knew enough about the case that the information he offered to the KGB put them on the right track to identifying and arresting him.
