Im having such a hard time understanding the mass bowel evacuation over the college "scandal" that I feel like I must have missed some important facts. This is how I understand it: 1) A bunch of rich parent circumvented the normal acceptance procedure by pouring money into it. Far more than any other normal student would pay. 2) The kids got help on the entrance SAT but still needed to pass or fail the classes on their own abilities. 3) Some number of "deserving" entrants got screwed out of a spot in that particular year, causing pigs across the country to squeal. Is that about right? This is the kind of thing the FBI goes in with guns drawn, no doubt in anticipation of these parents going out guns blazing? I wish I had an Infinity Stone that gave me the power to punch people in the face from anywhere on Earth.

Gfted1 replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)The top one looks like the Neverwinter Nights logo, what did it mean in the PoE franchise? EDIT: I now notice Boeroer says they are the gods symbols.

I dont think the sky is falling for NYG. They went 31-49 since drafting him in 2014, so besides the occasional eye popping catches, he wasnt a game changer.

Those type videos hits me right in the visceral. I could watch pom-pom guns firing all day. I don't know if its true but Ive read the only way in and out of the belly turrets was from the outside, and they didn't wear parachutes in there, so in the event of landing gear damage that guy was in for a bad landing.

I get it, SAT's were altered too, I just cant imagine it was worth the millions of dollars spent to investigate and prosecute this terrible "crime". Its like what...30 or so kids over the course of four (?) years? Who cares? It wasn't even "minority quotas" they took, right? I dunno, I thought the old joke of "I bought the school a new wing to their library so my kid could get in" was basically quid pro quo.

College Admissions Scandal: Actresses, Business Leaders and Other Wealthy Parents Charged. Isnt "buying your way into college" the worst kept secret since secrets were invented? Thank god these 10's of people will be brought to justice for greasing their kids wheels. And goddammit, Im fed up with athletes scamming the system and getting a free ride based on nothing more than profound physical abilities. NOT FAIR! *stomps foot*

You fool! Havent you learned by now that "ism's" and "ist's" only work in one direction...from white male to everyone else on the planet. I was a little disappoint that nobody poo-pooed my movie example so I could ask them if they were a racist.

Does that rigorous vetting process only occur in superhero movie? Because Ive seen A LOT of movie that suck. Im curious, was Green Lantern a hit for you?

What if, and this will shock you, people just legit didnt like the movie? My morning radio show synopsis was (paraphrased) "I thought it sucked until the "redemption" at the end." So can a movie even suck anymore or everyone that dislikes something is drinking the hateraide?

Any Food/Water/Sleep need system in TOW?
Neither did PoE1, PoE2, or Tyranny but all those games enforced a variable Camping Supply limit based on the difficulty level. Now thats been entirely removed except for the highest levels (or perhaps a toggle)? How will everyone playing below that level control themselves? Maybe auto-regen at lower levels?
