What classes are getting per level bonuses?

HL2 overrated? If we lived in a more barbaric universe I'd have to take due action.

I thought the portrait variety was lacking last game, and I still feel that way in this game. I think backer portraits ate into their ability to provide lore-concurrent personas for the player to choose from. I feel we should be getting double the amount of new portraits in Deadfire than what has currently been planned for. I know this may be expecting a lot, but that is how I feel from the end user perspective. It just doesn't feel fleshed out enough. Especially now that we have entire crews that are to be getting their own personas.

HL3 better be revealed come E3 on account of this. Valve has played it loose and easy for too long to be pulling cross-promotional stuff with a dead series.

They have military training? Suggesting pole dancers would be wierd, but actual military guys? It's like a natural choice. Soldiers are used to working with intel. Having glorified security guards with a license to kill put into situations where they have to act fast. Just seems like it's escalating things. Never mind the ptsd.

God damn, they were announced in the Fig campaign. This question never ceases to amaze me.

I hope they don't go half retro half modern. It's better to just do a contemporary analogue.

Oh ****, Lost In Space. I used to watch the original series with my mom when I was a young boy back in the 90's. Please be good.

I really question all this interest in implicit bias. Looking at the mind from the science of cognition, we aptly recognize that we are pattern building machines that build internal microcosmic models of externalities in order to operate over those models. We do this for all things. So when reality reflects certain distributions, the ability to acknowledge the raw distributions does not seem like it is of the sort of thing that would be called implicit bias. It is instead memory building, database building. Because of this necessary aspect our functioning, you will never get a pure enough reading on why someone's associations between things is as they are, and a lot of interest in this topic revolves around narrative building. Now implicit bias does exist, clearly, but many of the proponents of it as a mainstream language to talk about the social landscape seem to themselves miss their own bias (implicit or not, who cares!) with regards to the entire theory itself. Namely that recognition, which as an associative function, is not the same sort of thing as the bias that they so much want to talk about. The bias that is defined by the underlying models, which comes out of statistics and machine learning, is actually the error of the model and the priors. Which is very different than what we humans talk about as bias. For a questionnaire, it's clear certain leading questions will force people to pull the trigger one way or the other. If anything, that shows a bias towards the more familiar language. I speak generally, and not specifically about the fine researchers running that particular questionnaire. They at least give a disclaimer on the fact that they will be interpreting results and any interpretation by not be valid with respect to the subject. Well being anonymous they are admitting to interpreting soiled results and warning the user to be prepared that you are feeding them data that they can choose to interpret as they wish, (which will be based on other results?) Kicking the can down the road, when they could solicit deeper inquiries directly with subjects. Better yet, do this all as a double blind. But don't let me get in the way of their grants, I'm sure they just want to feed their families and retire with tenure.

Yes, let's get back to our romance discussions.

Might have to jump back in. I think I left off at 5 or 6 and was not feeling it.

As far as I know u cannot delay any point in beta, talent, proficiency, skill point, all no. For a beta it makes sense to force someone to spend their points, otherwise they may report some odd experiences. But I feel the player should be left to spend points at their discretion. Of course the former argument applies to balancing the release builds as well. This one might have to be a mod.

Not sure what my opinions are on the frequency. Delaying gives you more time to make decisions, while more frequent ones allow you to shift around a bit as needed. You can delay spending points in Deadfire right?

I like finding equipment I can't use because it informs me of potential opportunities for subsequent play-throughs. It's boring when all the equipment you find is usable, because then everything is either trash or some moderate upgrade. (Occasionally a big upgrade.) Where the alternative is you find a lot of wild things, mostly worthwhile, where the issue is that you don't have a proficiency in something. But the weapon may still merit a use for a while.

Is he just trying to write both the last two books at once now? If he isn't then it seems this series is doomed to go unfinished.

Just in BruceVC's link at the top of page. How many shootings has he pulled this ****. I won't be so cynical to call out his emotional response and verge of tears. But every time it's the same empty gestures of activism. which I find is a trend amongst the new left.

Dammit. I guess they need to raise more capital or something? At least they aren't saying it's canceled, but you never know with PR these days.

how does Jimmy Kimmel live with himself? I'm really sick of this whole, if only we all use our common sense, majority public opinion says, styled rhetoric. He's so devoid of any really insight across the aisle. It's no wonder they cede so much ground on issues they deem important.

Are these Russians being held in the US, or are they symbolic charges against people abroad? Maybe a mix?

So you literally just type COSMIC BIRD into the console to unlock it... I wonder if doing so disables achievements... What was the code for the dog? Or do we not know?

About the suicide correlation. People in rural areas are more isolated with fewer opportunities. Rural living is associated with decreased law enforcement presence and an increased need to self-secure. I think it just so happens that these correlate, and you'll find high suicide rates in other rural regions of the world which don't particularly have many guns.

I don't think dealing with mental health will ever mitigate school shootings. Tagging weapons to know when they've left a safe or house might be better.

Install false floors and make the students where yeezys with rfid chips in them. Problem solved. School uniforms for a new age.
