Actually, there is iirc. There is a slider for boob size for females and "endowment" (I think that was the word used) for male characters. You need to tick the "nudity" flag though. Neither comes with any jiggly or dangly physics built in.

Guild Wars 2 My Charr warrior wielding his giant chainsword... gettting ready for action. The eye next to him attracted some undead friends outside the camera view One of those insanely long (and tall!) jumping puzzles. I eventually made it all the way up there New map ("Dragonfall") and dailies and events and masteries and mounts added with the latest living world installment "War Eternal". People are all the world map these days, scrambling for the bits and pieces to get the new flying mount Dragonfall has 3 main areas, which is something the Elder Dragon tore out of the mist when plummeting back to the "real" world again. Each domain themed around one of The Six (Grenth - god of the Dead, Balthazar - god of Fire and War and Melandru - goddess of Nature)

I bought the game on a steam sale (50% off) a while ago and decided to give it a try over the weekend. Takes a bit to get used to. It felt very much like a 3D version of 'Don't Starve Together'. I know food and water are part of the game, but dang, I would love to just explore without having to worry about my food going rotten!

Politics and Statesmenship: A Forum Special Report
Gorth replied to Amentep's topic in Way Off-Topic
Ok, genuinely curious.... why exactly do you claim that Crimea belongs to Ukraine? What kind of justification would be behind that other than "Ukraine says so!"? As for history and revisionism... It originally belonged to the Tatars and later Moscow until Ukraine claimed it at the dissolution of the Soviet Union 1991 (**** started hitting the fan when Ukraine forgot about their promises about Crimean autonomy in 1995 (in return for the Crimean's acknowledging the government in Kiev's sovereignty). -

It's not like logic has ever been an obstacle for Trump before. I would fully trust in his incompetence and start a war without any clue on how to deal with the outcome, thinking he can "wing it". If such a thing were to happen, watch Fox News for how it's all Hillary and Obama's fault and Trump's twitter blasting the fake news for spreading misinformation about a completely chaotic situation. He's nothing if not predictable. -
My friend and I went and saw Kacey Musgraves live here in Melbourne last night at the Palais Theatre. Country and Western isn't normally my style, but the live performance was not just outstanding, but very much a mix of genres, ranging from classic C&W to Rock. Besides, her voice is stunning to listen to live. Can't find any recordings from last night, but maybe some day someone might empty the content of their phones on youtube

Oh, easy. Stop splitting athletes up in "men" and "women" and create categories for those above and below a testosterone threshold. They could even create a "super" league for those who don't mind pumping themselves full of performance enhancing chemicals, steroids, whatever. (edit: It wouldn't be that different from wrestling, boxing etc. where you have weight categories to even the playfield between contestants) On a less serious note, waiting for the first complaint about contestants trying to win races by using viagra (for getting those extra inches closer to the finishing line)!

Makes you wonder whose responsibility it was to do the spell checking? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-48210733 46 million $50 (Australian) notes got into circulation before typo was discovered

Oh, it get's better. Chelsea and Arsenal are the finalists in the other tournament now. Watch out for spontaneous orgies in the streets

Netanyahu and Trump does seem to have a rather cozy romance with each other going on there. Love conquers all after all, so no need for real justification for their actions. Too much trouble at home? Create bigger problems abroad. -
It's a masterclass in how not to do projects (I still remember my landlord trying to convince me it would be up and running soon when I was living south of Berlin) I checked up on the projects history back then and I think the US will be a communist country before that airport has regular air traffic

Just a suspicion based on the terminology used in the software, it looks like currently anything with a tag gets classified as "staff". Hence why even moderator posts show up as an "Obsidian" post.

I was in a bit of a nostalgic mood today. Listened to some old hard rock tracks from the 80's If I ever were to end up stranded up on a remote island with a nuclear powered iPod, I guess this is the song I would prefer to be on it:

A nice new feature is the ability to hide individual members signatures, so if you have like 3 people whose signatures you're tired at staring at, you can hide those 3 people's signatures from your view, yet see everybody else's signatures. That should encourage people to make signatures that aren't too much "in your face", as they will just get hidden by other users over time and not seen anymore.

I've been playing Risk of Rain 2 a few evenings lately together with a couple of friends. It's one of those deceptively simple to learn games... but because the difficulty increases constantly over time, so you have to master the timing, how much to you want to hang around and gear up on a level before you get overwhelmed. Not to mention, once you decide enough is enough, it's time to trigger the level boss(es) to progress to the next map. It's one of those early access games, but already worth the money we spent on it

Yes, comedy... but it is so close to reality it gave me the shivers. The horrors that sometimes take place in project meetings

My friend and i went and saw Tim Minchin live last weekend. Probably not a lot of people outside Australia know him, but he's a composer,songwriter, musician and singer. His satire is particularly pointed and most of the songs, I wouldn't be able to post here (too much profanity). Besides the classics, like "Come Home Cardinal Pell" (a song from Satan to George Pell telling him he's missed at home... in hell), the Pope Song (about the mother****ing pope and his ****ing organisation covering over all the kiddie ****ers) and "**** the Poor" about the hypocrisy of many wealthy people, there was also this little gem about language and how words can be used to categorize and oppress people:

Oven baked Salmon is one of the best things I can make for myself (and easy to clean up afterwards too!). A bit of baking paper in a tray, a squirt of olive oil, add lots of Salmon (boneless but with skin on one side) and cover with a bit of dill and alu-foil. Leave for 25 minutes at 220C in a fan force oven. Being lazy, I usually improvise steamed vegetables by throwing some cauliflower and broccoli in in a plastic bowl with a bit water in it and cook it for 10 minutes in the microwave. Lemon is good. I sometimes always add a bit of tartar sauce too. Mostly because I love the stuff and need an excuse to have it

Tl;dr; version of Protestants, they were the rabid militants of their time. The trigger was the Catholic church's obsession with secular stuff and the increased focus on wealth of a material kind rather than a spiritual kind. The ability to buy absolution for hard cash at a time of resentment, was the proverbial drop. Bibles had to be translated to local languages so nobody had an excuse for not acting piously and religion should dominate your life, not being an esoteric thing you heard some clergy man ramble on about in a language you didn't understand anyway (in Latin).
