Can't level up PoE1 on Xbox 1
shoot, can't quite remember; I have the PS4 version but didn't finish seems like if you select the character you want with LB or RB, then open the radial menu with LT, the option to level-up should be there as I recall, the cursor is only for combat and movement options

that rare occasion you try something new, a whole new genre, and it's so good you can't help but execute a Picard blouse pull at yourself for not having thought to explore before now... saw this merely at our local grocer and loved that it declares to be a 'thinking person's gin' ... give it a try- What you did today?
woop, sorry Bruce, thank you for asking, how's your new place anyway ... we were fortunate beyond what we deserve to be hired full-time for Building Services at the college ... a sea change for us who've never had benefits of any kind, suddenly inundated with terms like medical, vision, dental, sick time, personal time, holiday pay, even the r-word and something called AD&D, which was briefly mistaken for role-playing activities offered by HR -- today was my Friday, now that Wednesdays are the new Monday ... no more live-action Sunday football or golf ... comic book day will have to share tacos with Tuesdays- TV & streaming thread
make it not so haven't seen that report anywhere else trusted, such as trekcore ... the dude was demoted before Discovery began; could be similar to manufactured strife on the WW set three years ago regardless, it is mathematically and objectively impossible for anything with Jean-Luc to be rated eighty-percent awful- What you did today?
it's now the second time I've spent the better part of a day with a complete stranger in civilian clothes who turned out to be a chief warrant officer ... the first was on a plane from Salt Lake to SD -- then today at orientation, one of our group served twenty-two years and retired CWO-3 ... didn't get a chance to ask his specialty but we spoke briefly about inroads female Marines have earned there is no god but our dumb luck to work at a place with the highest outreach to veterans in the state makes us believe in her- What you did today?
hold the horn ... in six months Gromnir retired, Shady has a lawn and Hurl is a professional amateur cyclist ... if Bruce has given up cheese or GD said goodbye to Kentucky's finest I will turn this car around orientation at the college tomorrow, even though we've been there two years part-time ... this prospect of full-time is a rare and welcome fundamental attitude adjustment- The drinking thread
sorry to double but after Dark Phoenix we stopped by Stone and discovered a delightful staple reimagined the standard is a dead ringer ... put your nose in the imperial is exactly like as if you made it with wheat bread (curiously it says the Liberty Station location but we landed at the main one up here in the north)- The Outer Worlds E3 2019 Trailer, Interviews, Previews, Gameplay Footage
gotta feel good to be Obs, opening act to an Xbox E3 briefing ... am seeing this game referred to as an fps rpg -- a confusing pairing, like salsa on ice cream, but Megan's confidence in the narrative lends to giving it a shot- The drinking thread
on the ale front, have mostly abandoned stouts and gone to gose, become best friends with berliner weisse (raspberry coffee ale, must try to believe) spirit wise, still being best with bourbons, but enjoying a neat young irish whiskey by the name of Teeling that spent six months in a rum barrel- What you did today?
huh, had jury duty last week ... wasn't selected and were released by noon but opening remarks by the judge were thoughtful and even inspiring- What you did today?
wasn't today, exactly -- and while we don't feel smarter or less certain imposter syndrome won't take effect, we did make small gains in maturity, wisdom and gratitude surviving a trio of committee interviews for a non-instruction position at a local college ... turns out a stable job that offers retirement is an instant cure for anxious emotional dithering- What are you playing RIGHT NOW?
if you liked GoW, Spider-Man PS4 is an incredible bit of software ... accessible platinum, too, if you're in to that- TV & streaming thread
speaking of, all too briefly, Professor Moriarty from two TNG episodes with a guest appearance on Elementary tonight, while Watson's wardrobe winning me over as always- A Special Announcement From Obsidian
I'm down, I'd buy launch titles from Ninja Theory and Obsidian for the Xbox Dos XX.- Backer rewards rip off
ManifestedISO replied to Obsidian sucks's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)If by stretch material you mean low thread count then this is accurate. Transparent is not the right word but one can see one's fingers backlit through the material. Charcoal sheer is the color I would label both, not durable black as were the PoE1 garments, who have kept their mettle through nearly four years of washes. Still, it does say 'Backer' on the sleeve, nicely. Hoodie seems fine but I daren't subject it to the washing machine test.- Is it possible to get a rewarding experience out of being a bad guy?
ManifestedISO replied to Cyrus_Blackfeather's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Stories (Spoiler Warning!)Went full evil once with a Bleak Walker paladin but was not nearly as enjoyable. Had to maintain Cruel and I think Aggressive dispositions to keep class bonuses ... kicking a hungry Roparu woman just to get the cruelty points is not engaging, rewarding gameplay, for me at least. Even so, felt like plenty of reactivity in the game for evildoers.- [Backer Rewards] Physical Reward Updates
oh no, I haven't paid cash-on-delivery since flowbee I hope my hoodie is postage paid- What did you do today?
last time there the first thing we heard was an air-raid siren, or coulda been a typhoon warning, no one knew but it was definitely cloudy going home the plane was delayed two hours so our connector from LA to SD was missed and we enjoyed a midnight Astro van tour all the way from Los Angeles- nfl 2018-2019
rat finks and pundits say pre-season don't matter, but four turnovers and 15 penalties, inauspicious start, said few Angelinos into their kale lattes would likely give the nod to Shimonek over Cardale or Geno for backup QB given this season has to be Rivers' odds-on injury year Hunter Henry is already done with a torn ligament, so- Persistent combat text
ManifestedISO replied to peolone's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)just saw this today, two floating red number twos after a ship battle, persistent across save and reload, world and local maps, but not inventory UI- Party order changes on load
ManifestedISO replied to ArnoldRimmer's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)it has never not done this, for me since launch or shortly thereafter and even now the worst time it happens is during combat aboard ship, pinning the fifth party member who is last and alone in the double column formation, against the starboard rail, unable to move- That TV Topic
also Brent Spiner is confirmed for a role on CW's Supergirl this fall, would be a shame if, while he's at it, Data doesn't reunite with Picard, say, after receiving an aesthetic aging program to compliment the emotion chip, still fully functional, obvs and Deanna, please, and Worf, Geordi ... I have his autograph, don't wake me from this dream- [2.0] UI inventory interaction much more sluggish
ManifestedISO replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)wow, I also had four pre-2.0 runs and the UI lag happened for me after 1.2 exactly as you describe for 2.0- [2.0] UI inventory interaction much more sluggish
ManifestedISO replied to thelee's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)this became an issue after 1.2, particularly later-game when the save file gets big, I'm guessing under a new 2.0 game, so far in the early game, no UI lag - The drinking thread
