  1. in the off-chance new players come across the above misinformation by the OP ... most enemies are not immune to everything, and bounty quests from the Warden were not intended to be 'very early' or for 'beginner' parties ... the player stronghold must be rebuilt and upgraded over time before Warden bounties become available above all, over the course of the game, save often; if your party gets wiped clean in seconds by an enemy, do not reload 50-60 times ... reload once before the battle and travel to a different map or pursue an alternate quest to gather experience and upgrade items and weapons before returning to a difficult encounter ... try it, it's fun
  2. was great, really enjoyed escapism with Batwoman and Supergirl, only to return to an insane reality https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/politics/trump-turkey-syria.html imagine if Johnson had sided with the NVA in Vietnam ...
  3. not long, but will include the 'dumb' projection attack the president uses on African-Americans ... Don Lemon and LeBron that I remember, likely more if 'multiple' means at least three, there may be four current whistleblowers in talks with representation ... one IRS and three re Ukraine (so thankful my superhero TV season begins tonight ... hit pause on the fury and fire, get reacquainted with hope and justice ... well, after 60 Minutes)
  4. he will; no one is immune from attack by a cornered psychopathic narcissist under threat of exposure and accountability if the president continues to call for 'impeachment' of Congressional Republicans, as he did with Romney -- likely jurors in a Senate trial -- removal from office may actually occur
  5. in the event it's not clear the gravity of what the president did this morning agree FEC Chair deserves a spot on the wall of heroes ... next to Jacinda Ardern, here
  6. wait'll you see the expansions ... so interesting, New Vegas is a dud for me but Deadfire is right up my alley sound design, music score, voice-acting, special effects, the new lighting engine, narrative, even turn-based is serious fun ... Deadfire is a true gem
  7. either that is fate calling, opportunity knocking, or both ... don't let it go unanswered ... have fun in Atlanta
  8. my theory is, since 5pm Pacific is technically midnight zulu time ... Microsoft is secretly planning to rename Project Scarlett the Z-box ... think about it -- the next console release is holiday 2020 ... what colors are associated with the holidays: red and green ... Xbox official color is green, Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, has red hair ... how else to explain a video game releasing seven hours early Playstation version of The Outer Worlds does not release until four hours after that, at 9pm Pacific ... 4hrs -- PS4 -- coincidence?!
  9. wasn't me ... never had FB or twitter* accounts appears Pompeo has his own Giuliani ... Gorka is literally flying to Europe with the Secretary, on the same plane, with no security clearance *had a profile for one day to say hi to Wil Wheaton but then a swarm of bots descended and it was deleted
  10. was satisfying personally will miss Joan's outfits, week after stylish week, Jonny Lee Miller's delivery, Marcus' fidelity to friends and neckties, the brownstone, Denethor, and on and on ...
  11. not only did Barr know, he was the impetus for the call
  12. holy crap, now it's Australia
  13. take away his phone and the nuclear codes hard to forget 'civil war' was one of Russia's disinfo points ... looks like Rudy's been served
  14. The predictable and co-occurring idealization and devaluation are two emotional states that generally define a narcissist’s attitude toward himself (idealization) and others (devaluation; see the insults discussed above). He projects them, primitively — i.e., without any self-reflection or inhibitions, as there is no functioning conscience to impose such “obstacles” on his mental processes and behavior — onto the world and constructs an entire ideology from them. horrifying, explicit description of the president's pathology, from three years ago ... also includes explanation for what may have happened to today's Congressional GOP: narcissistic collusion; again, June of 2016 this was published, by Elizabeth Mika https://medium.com/@Elamika/hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-narcissist-scorned-d0e0186ea332
  15. sorry, just curious what medium, is it streaming, or ...
  16. this from Yoni Appelbaum in March is long but riveting and rife with history The case before the United States in 1868 bears striking similarities to the case before the country now—and no president in history more resembles the 45th than the 17th. “The president of the United States,” E. P. Whipple wrote in this magazine in 1866, “has so singular a combination of defects for the office of a constitutional magistrate, that he could have obtained the opportunity to misrule the nation only by a visitation of Providence. Insincere as well as stubborn, cunning as well as unreasonable, vain as well as ill-tempered, greedy of popularity as well as arbitrary in disposition, veering in his mind as well as fixed in his will, he unites in his character the seemingly opposite qualities of demagogue and autocrat.” Johnson, he continued, was “egotistic to the point of mental disease” and had become “the prey of intriguers and sycophants.” https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/03/impeachment-trump/580468/
  17. great to see Wil find some healing ... he and I are within months in age and so saw myself as Wes aboard the bridge ... would love to do the same; have not actually watched DS9 since it went off the air ...
  18. do me a favor, though
  19. wow, Volker is one of five officials summoned to appear before House committees next week the nothingburger, by Alexandra Petri Graham gestured to Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), who was gazing happily at the transcript with an expression of calm. “There’s nothing there," Perdue murmured, confidently. Graham pointed to Mike Pence, who was smiling vaguely at nothing in particular.
  20. editorial board, NYT
  21. bought last The Outer Worlds thinking it was the only way to play at launch, but then the next day Playstation moved up pre-orders from 30 June to 25 October, so, technically bought that last; double dip, take that Microsoft -- wait, a fool and their what ...
  22. was incorrect about 'falsifying' the call's record ... appears to have been manipulated in favor of the president by 'overclassifying'
  23. couple quotes appreciated recently 'Rudy Giuliani is the Trump administration’s point man on Ukraine. Just remember that, and everything else will make a lot more sense.' - Gail Collins 'Once you realize that "deep state" is code for "the rule of law," you can translate their jibberish into something more like English.' - David Frum
  24. preparing a redacted version, according to the Times if the whistleblower does testify this week, would expect Friday, which is Native American Day observed, in CA ... some kind of poignant irony if the beginning of the end of authoritarianism in the United States coincides, nevermind that this whole thing came to light on the birthday of the Constitution
  25. did not have 'unanimous Senate approval' or 'bipartisan complaint investigation' on my Constitution bingo card which is not to make light of it ... this week is the most pivotal in the nation's history
