    Sorry if this is a repeat, but I haven't followed this thread much the last 24 hours. Thought it was funny. Yes, I know it's coincidence and not any powers of foresight. Back to the future: how the Simpsons and others predicted President Trump "Sixteen years ago it was a punchline for Lisa Simpson. In Back to the Future, he was the model for the bullying bad guy. Is the joke still funny?" Short version, Lisa becomes the first female president, having the to pick up the pieces of President Trumps financial mismanagement.

    My newfound friends in Swtor decided yesterday should be one of easy stuff and relaxation, so we just did the first 3 bosses of HM Ravagers to get a number of lockouts on Master & Blaster for the weekend. HM Torque sure is a challenge to maintain an overview of the encounter on a small laptop screen. Which reminds me, time to go shopping for a monitor and a decent mouse.

    Here it's mostly the introduced species, like canetoads and backpackers.

    It was a choice between the Creep and the Creepy, take your pick. Both the Republicans and the Democrats seems to have grossly underestimated peoples resentment against the political "elite" all the way from the first nominations taking place until last night. Similar to the sentiments in Denmark in 1992 when the majority of people rejected the Maastricht treaty with a No result, despite the political elite campaigning for a Yes, Brexit showed (amongst other things) that people don't trust politicians as far as they can throw them, the less they have to say, the better.

    Well the election results, as we all know, was rigged. Trump himself said so. Better start auditing and recounting votes now

    Looks like a done deal. Dow Jones is already crashing at an impressive rate and gold prices are skyrocketing. You still got yours GD?

    I don't know much about the US constitutions history, but sometimes, when you hear what's in there, you get the feeling it was designed for 13 states and doesn't necessarily "scale" well

    For no reason whatsoever I just thought about choices in Bioware games. Doesn't matter what you pick, the outcome is the same: You're screwed

    Discovered something new and interesting in the game: HM Monolith on Ziost is really hard The world boss and the story mode fight was pushovers, people just fooling around and killing him while joking. Hard mode however... a different matter altogether. So much raid wide, unavoidable damage. Yes, all 8 of us had the world boss buff. Going to try again with 3 healers (i.e. 3 healers, 4 dps one of them with taunt and me as tank) and see if that can keep us alive. Better to die to enrage than not even getting to enrage. That Bite Wound debuff/bleed does hurts like ****. Our poor off tank died several times to the first aoe damage done after just one stack. I still need to practise my positioning of the boss, not being particularly intelligent about where I put myself at the moment to be honest. Third Bite Wound knockback seems to always get me close to a Rift.

    Sorry, meant to close the thread with my previous post. Lets keep the discussion in the existing thread

    ...and finished the hm dread palace run. those guys made it look easy, carrying this old body along with them. back to look at gearing. never thought i should see day, but i replaced all my unlettered mods with 'b' mods to inflate hitpoints. people agreed i wouldn't survive my first nim encounter without that. having a blast in the game at the moment

    I've been doing the story mode operations for a long time now. At one point I was doing 2 or 3 a day which is why I eventually also got tired of that, just being too easy. It' sadly just now, 7 days before I was about to put game on the shelf for good (my sub was about to expire) that I found a group of people through one of those chance encounters, that was happy to take me in so speak, and show me the fun of HM Ops (I don't count EV and KP as hm challenges). But yes, been doing all the old ops from ev to tos in sm to the point of drifting off, my attention wandering, while doing M&B and Underlurker Doing HM re-ignited my interest in them because of the added challenge of the mechanics that either never were or got nerfed in 4.0 from sm ops. TfB will always have a special place in my memory, being the first ops I did. SnV for the sheer fun (only Ravagers gets close to the that irreverent atmosphere of not intended to be taken quite too seriously story wise). DF and DP are fun in each their own way, but TfB and SnV probably does appeal more to me. Never really liked Revan as a character or the story, so that probably makes me very indifferent towards ToS.

    As Infinitron tries so subtly to point out, it's old news (existing thread in his linl) Besides the interview is mostly about Fallout and Obsidian and not much (if anything to do with Pillars of Eternity).

    Another fun night in Swtor. Got started too late to finish the raid, but at got raptus downed in dread palace. Now I just need the dread council to cross dp off my hard mode to do list. The "boss" wants to do that tonight so we can move on to him dp friday (we were doing all those hm ops for my benefit as they are old easy stuff for the rest of the group, most of which spout revanchist, dragonslayer, gate crasher etc. titles). Yes, I really am the "junior" member, but guys are being great and helpful

    It was that time of year again... (dramatic pause) People all over the country putting down there tools and stop working, gathering together in lunch rooms with their beer and snacks. Yes, it was the 156th Melbourne Cup. No, none of the horses I bought in the office sweepstake won anything. Ah well, next year is another race.

    I think you nailed it right there: You weirdo, you...

    Made my way to Defiance bay and did a minor side quest picked up in the Inn. Then headed out and explore a bit more of the outdoors before exploring the city. Made a roundabout way over a wilderness area on the way to my keep (to spend my new coins on more upgrades). Ran into a sizeable group of "feral druids". Ouch. They didn't so much rain on my parade as carpet bomb the area with lightning and I was all out of lightning rods Good thing I got a save from just before that encounter.

    I was robbed! My keep got attacked by a horde of skeletons led by some bonehead wizard. Winning by the skin of my teeth, the floor was littered with corpses and loot piles (enemy and friendly corpses) and what happens? Before I got a chance to loot the corpses after the fight, the game takes it upon itself to re-load the location and all the wonderful loot piles disappeared Picked up the arctic dwarf girl and companion and listened to her story. Interesting traditions they've got and quite funny reading in places

    wait what Your decoding skills could use some work. I automatically read that as emaciated because given the context, that was the only word that worked. If you hadn't told you were a teacher, I think most people would have guessed by now

    Of course I had to come down with something and only got hm df done on the weekend. I had some panadols but their best by date was 2014 and unsurprisingly didn't do bugger all. Ah well, will get hm dp done too.

    One thing I noticed is, it will never show me a media if using https instead of http. Youtube videos are usually from a belgian domain if you use the share button (giving you something like https://youtu.be/blahblah (with the s in https that prevents it from actually showing)

    Finally catching up a bit on ye olde achievement list. Did hm tfb and hm snv the last couple of days and hm df and hm dp planned for this weekend. Always wanted to do those at least once.
