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...

They even know what individual Canadian provinces prefer... Canada Warning NSFW reading.

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.

Disclaimer: I haven't played Pazaak since the Steam version of Kotor2 got released and I had to play it with the restoration mod, so it's been a while. It looks correct to me? That is of course only the value you are not allowed to exceed is 21. In which case 25 means you lose regardless of what the computer has. Of course, it the auto-lose threshold is 25 or higher, then the game is indeed cheating.

Riot police move in on N Dakota pipeline protesters I don't know about Americans, but I doubt Europeans are the only ones fed up with corporations controlling governments and not the other way around. Edit: Completely off topic, but kudos to the wallonians for poking the Eurocrat leeches in the eye with a stick.

For someone who used to profess undying hatred of MMO's and openly express contempt for swotor, I sure has been playing It (and paying it) for a long time In one of those chance encounters that sometimes happens, I met some new people who do raids regularly. Not a guild, just a group of regulars who gathers for HM ops runs and I got invited to join them. Done a few hm ops now and who knows, with a bit of luck I might actually get to work through my backlog of still to-do's (HM df/dp and Rav/Tos). Not ambitious enough to join them in their NiM runs, HM seems just about what this old brain can handle.

Bleh... here I thought it was about privatizing the Secret Service. I'm sure there are a number of domestic and foreign companies that could do it cheaper and more efficient

Ouch, that sucks. Little comfort that you would have beaten the game if it hadn't decided to cheat Played some more Pillars of Eternity. I'm now the master of a ruin and what I assume is my major domo handed me a long laundry list of repairs and bills to pay for said repairs. Needless to say, east barbican came first and reading through several items, I went for the main keep (trying to gauge how many addons has it as a pre-requisite). Also remembered there was something about a bear in a cave close to the starting point (mauled me badly when I first went there), so took my 5 man strong party and made a nice rug for a fireplace out of it. Picked up one of those nice little mini quests there too. Decided to just get as many coins out of it as possible. Yes, my first inclination was violent, but I figured the kill them all and let the gods sort them out might not works so well in this setting?
