Ukraine Conflict
A number of dead tank operators where the reactive armour was missing the explosives, may disagree on that. If it can be sold, odds are, somebody might have tried to pawn it off for a bit of cash and a bottle of vodka. Edit: Who's going to discover it anyway, there are so many missiles and Russia is not at war after all. It can't hurt with a little bonus before the holidays (which is in early January for the Orthodox Christians, if I remember correctly what my Serbian friends told me)

Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
@Raithe confession time, the only one of those I've seen is the 73 version with Christopher lee 🤔 I've read the books a couple of times, but the last time was probably 30 years ago. I think I would like to read them again (as well as The Count of Monte Christo, also a book I used to be fond of)

Richelieu makes for an interesting villain (imho). A ruthless antagonist that's acting in the interest of the state (and himself by extension, being an important cog in the machinery that is the state).

Why let facts get in the way of a good lawsuit? Edit: Less facetious, if you are looking for a way to accomplish an agenda, the details are sometimes unimportant as long as a goal is accomplished, in this case getting the Supreme Court to make policy and become a partisan part of government, enabling policies you desire for whatever reason motivates you

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 5
Necromancer is a bit of a nostalgic thing more than any rational thing. My first Warhammer Fantasy general (35 years ago) was a powerful necromancer. I've often missed those "good old days", when a powerful necromancer lead an army of the dead across the battlefield, while flinging life draining magic around 😂 I think angel could be interesting too. I'm fairly certain I could pull off playing either evil (yes, the mustache twirling, cackling laughter evil) or the mr. nice guy, self sacrificing goody two shoes. The one thing I don't trust myself to stick to is "pure" 'lawful'. Too contrarian to my real life self to be able to roleplay I think. Even as a dare. No, I would never have thought of sorcerer domains or cleric domains of my own (much less a dirge bard). Hence why I appreciate the advice very much 👍

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 5
Dammit Ember, what kind of head games did you play with my future girlfriend?!? 😝 Finished the game. Some of the "set pieces" were truly horrible. Especially one where two of those Tsunami loving demons were hiding around the corner, so getting washed away, landing flat on your back was almost (not completely) unavoidable. Nothing 15 reloads couldn't fix.. In my next game, I think I would like to play a spell caster. Always fancied a necromancer. Not sure if that goes well with Lich or if I should try something all nice and good and angelic instead. Maybe turn all demon so I can hook up with some nice demon girls... That's a decision for next week (because work is a pain in the rear and working late hours this week)

Music: Sharing and Listening - The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between
It is indeed... speaking of which, I seem to remember they released another set of songs besides the old boxed set I bought some years ago (2 cd's plus a tentacle stocking to hang over my fireplace for when Chtulhu brings gifts)

Ukraine Conflict
It's a full hour, but I thought it worth watching (life in the Ukrainian "Foreign Legion")... some surprising feedback on different countries fighting forces at times

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 5
I suspect Owlcat suffers a bit the same as Obsidian when it comes to backers. Having to add stuff they committed to adding rather for commercial reasons (pledges) rather than making sense to adding. Not sure what my issue with POE is, but something about it just feels "sterile". The lore and setting didn't appeal to me. The writing and companions feels like... an AI wrote them? Technically smooth but with no soul? Anyway, now rummaging through Threshold. Killing lots of demons. Then killing more demons. Finally killing a lot of demons. Also, met my old flame Nocticula at the entrance. Sadly only offering a profane gift (which I accepted) and not a night out

What are you Playing Now? It's not how you play the game, it's how you place the blame
Sorry... I do a brief check (the user list at the bottom of the forums has a feature showing what currently logged in users are currently doing), but there is a slight delay between checking and actually getting around to locking it. Third time that happened in as many years 😖 About to go to a place called Threshold in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. I suspect the end is near...

To be fair, that was how my post could be understood, because I accidentally left out the first part of the quoted post 😂 But reading your reply, I figured it would do nicely for both purposes 👍

What You've Done Today - Keep Dreaming...
@Azdeus How about Dead Sea trips? Better yet, Turkey. I had a friend who had rather severe psoriasis. Not quite "The Elephant Man" bad (80% of his body, all of his face and limbs), but enough to negatively impact his self esteem and the lowered "quality of life" as a result. He did have quite a bit of success with the "Doctor Fish" in Turkey (aka Red Garra fish). They nibble off all the dead skin cells leaving pink, smooth and way healthier looking skin after they're done.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 5
Sort of completely unrelated to Owlcat and their games, but my favourite (Guild Wars 2, the only one I play) mmo has had the same level and gear cap as it had at launch 10 years ago. I'm not playing it for the time being, because part life part Pathfinder is taking up my time. I do know if I return to the game in say six months time, I won't have to worry about entering the gear treadmill on a lower rung of the ladder than when I left it, I will still be max level and state of the art gear. The rewards for going beyond the required minimum to complete the main story line are "prestige items". I do think this only works in a multi player environment, as it is a reward you can show off and impress your peers amongst the player base with, leaving the next monster/boss/enemy quite unimpressed. It's a strategy that works for that game. Sadly, probably not transferable to single player games. Not even with an achievement system. At a loss what would work for a majority of (single player) crpg players. But then, it's not how I make my living, I'll leave that headache to people who have to survive in that particular line of work. I spent 4 years as game designer in a MUD game during university and it taught me a lot about how annoying players are 😂
