am a fan o' beef on weck, which is kinda an outlier as we do like cheese paired with our meats. then again, sloppy joes and pulled pork sandwiches don't ordinarily include cheese and both is gonna rank near the top o' our lists for best sandwich options. we do infrequent add pimento cheese to our sloppy joes and the pairing is delicious. a weird option we almost never get a chance to enjoy is beef tongue on pumpernickel. if you got a decent kosher deli in your area which also makes sandwiches, we highly recommend trying at least once. am realizing beef tongue likely does not sound appetizing, but don't let the name fool you. we make with swiss as often as not, but traditional is meat and spicy brown mustard on rye or pumpernickel. HA! Good Fun! ps found a more appetizing picture. also, if you are daring enough to order, make sure is smoked beef tongue.

absence o' relative scale is also making us "city" maps misleading. show a map o' "chicago" rta which in reality is representing an area 'bout the size of 1/4 of england. illinois is 150k sq km. england is 130k sq. kilometers. most europeans we know has seen maps o' the US and they know it is big in terms o' the raw numbers, but once they live here or spend time traveling in the US they nevertheless express surprise 'bout the distances involved. even so, one thing we do miss 'bout having gone to school and having lived in the bay area is bart, and bart is hardly perfect or even great. the thing is, decent public transportation in a nation as large as the US is expensive. the interstate highways system in 2019 dollars were $530 billion and is widely considered one o' the better investments evar by the fed. talk 'bout costs o' infrastructure is reasonable and is no need to spend foolish or excessive, but often such complaints 'bout costs is painful myopic. tax cuts for the rich (regan and trump) as well as automaker and bank bailouts (obama) are known to be costly and do not result in long term benefits. infrastructure investment, on the other hand, as were the case with land grant universities and the aforementioned interstate highway system, do result in long-term benefits which marked outweigh costs. 'course poor spent infrastructure dollars benefits nobody. HA! Good Fun!

could make him cape cod turkey, but am guessing is not what either o' you would want. HA! Good Fun!

am guessing that is a chili sauce based russian dressing... or a bottle brand such as wishbone? ordinarily, russian dressing is something like a 4:1 ratio o' mayo to chili sauce or ketchup, which is unlikely to result in a sauce quite as vibrant as you have pictured. that said, am enjoying a good reuben. we make our own sauerkraut in the garage (we go a bit heavy on the juniper berries) when it gets cool enough... such as it is current in nor cal. takes 'bout two weeks per batch, depending on temps. is a couple kosher delis where we get nice corned beef. is indeed a fine sandwich choice. HA! Good Fun! ps no criticism meant on store bought dressing if that is what is utilized. if you find something you like, then why not use premade?

first, am thinking more villains is usual a bad choice for a sooperhero movie, especial as dr. strange correct identifies the new spiderman protagonists as scoobies. the new spider-man movie is a big budget cinematic action spectacle, so character development opportunities is gonna necessarily suffer. peter and the scoobies, as well as dr. strange and a large % o' the rogue's gallery needs get their screen time while making certain this movie is more EPIC than previous spiderman films? am not doubting a few villains show up as little more than screen filler, but such a result is also gonna be cause for valid criticism. based on how doc oc's story concluded in spidey 2, am kinda conflicted 'bout him returning as a villain even if is multiverse shenanigans. to a lesser degree am similar concerned 'bout sandman. is not as if am assuming the movie is gonna be bad, but the setup is creating unnecessary storytelling obstacles. am fully aware is much easier to sell spectacle to studios and sequels is frequent indulging the perceived need to be bigger than previous titles, but such realities don't make us less dubious 'bout the direction am seeing from the new spidey film. HA! Good Fun!

new patch. includes the following: "Demonslayer didn't get bonus from progression of favorite enemy, but had bonus against neutral outsider - fixed" finally. has been an issue since the second beta when categories o' demons were split, which ironic made the demonslayer arguable the single worst archetype in wotr. also, while am suspecting nobody else is concerned, though not addressed in the patch notes, shadow spells is now firing proper with nenio and feyspeakers and even with elemental conversion active. has us considering a respec but our current party is built 'round a sorc as 'posed to a druid so we would need respec multiple party members. also, we will note the will dc for resisting shadow spells is now a thing and the dc does not appear to be generated correct, but is nevertheless an improvement. will need to see if areelu's angel cloak is working... edit: angel cloak is still not providing any bonus HA! Good Fun!

while am no fan o' the deluge o' immature edgelords trying to win at misogyny and antisemitism, 'cause that is a thing at codex, our approval o' the post is limited to the inclusion o' cary grant in your post. HA! Good Fun!

could bus in teens from across the midwest and arm 'em with ar-15s to defend property from protesters. 'cause if one kyle is admirable and laudable, then isn't a legion o' heroes even better? ... wait, that would be reckless and kinda insane, no? HA! Good Fun!

thought that went w/o saying, but ok. HA! Good Fun!

one thing which should be kept firm in mind is that if situation had played out different and rittenhouse had been killed by armed protesters, the protesters woulda' been able to claim self defense. gotta get past notions such as who is bad guys or who were more wrong-- those concerns is irrelevant. because o' the second amendment, there is gonna be armed people at protests such as occurred in wisconsin. take a highly volatile situation where multiple people is armed, especial at night, and the chances for a defense attorney to show his client were legit afraid o' being killed or seriously injured when he shot somebody increases. like it or not, the almost presumptive capacity to claim reasonable fear 'cause o' even the possibility the deceased were armed is a contributing reason as to why cops get away with shootings. is not right v. wrong or good v. evil. disabuse self o' such baggage. if you got multiple armed civilians and one o' them dies in a shooting incident, unless you can show actual premeditated intent to kill, the defendant is gonna probable be able to raise self defense. @BruceVC you do realize your linked codex post confirms our observations, yes? kyle were somehow legit in kenosha 'cause he were defending innocents from protesters? and nobody argued the ar-15 were an illegal weapon. kyle possessing the weapon and carrying 'cross state lines were what were illegal. the rests is not relevant to the question o' whether or not kyle were a reckless and/or derpy punk. is no good reason any teen shoulda' armed himself (illegally) with an ar-15 to go 'cross state to protect cars (really bruce?) from protesters. that said, am not gonna fight a proxy battle for you at codex, so this ends here for us, particular as your views o' protesters is known to us and having made little headway over the past few years, am recognizing how doomed is an effort to change your pov. HA! Good Fun! ps also, unless wisconsin is unique, it is worth recognizing that it is not legal to shoot somebody 'cause they is damaging some other person's property. the whole raison d'être for kyle's moronic escapade falls apart at inception and the codex response makes look worse as 'posed to better. as we said, am not following the case so arguable take weapon to protect self is different. take weapon with intent to protect property? gd might agree, but he would be wrong too.

am suspecting the game will be conceptual intriguing but prohibitively dull. no doubt josh wants to make an umberto eco inspired crpg, but it has been our observation that the more josh is involved with narrative, the more the story elements o' a game suffer. poe2 had good writers. the problem for poe2 were not individual characters or dialogues. josh has had the benefit o' quality help. josh needs something other than help. distance from the narrative is a good start. have other concerns, but delivered all at once is gonna make sound as if we believe josh is incompetent, which is decided not true. even so, unless we hear more/different, am not optimistic 'bout this title. HA! Good Fun!

why would we read codex when we can go and read the comments section o' fox news stories? makes one feel dirty afterwards, but we highly recommend reading fox news stories AND the comments regular if you want to understand what conservatives is willing to admit when the believe they is protected by the anonymity o' the internet. the rittenhouse defenses from near all conservatives is rationalizations and not genuine arguments o' merit. am suspecting bruce sympathizes with the codexian pov on some level 'cause am worried he embraces the conservative bunk which tells us that the blm/antifa rioters made rittenhouse response not only reasonable but admirable. we should applaud rittenhouse 'cause he were standing up for the victims o' blm rioters. sure, he acquired a lethal fire arm illegal, but he wouldn't have needed do such if the libs weren't out encouraging lawlessness and mayhem. etc. *snort* we got a pretty god idea what made trump popular, though is good to remember trump popularity were different in 2015-16 than it were in 2020 or is in 2021. even today there is a considerable number o' republicans and independents who will choose trump over any democrat as a lesser o' evils, which in light o' the trump presidency is bizarre but appears to be genuine. is also a mistake to assume folks explaining why they voted for trump is being honest with you, pollsters or themselves. almost nobody believes they is a bigot. most trump supporters ain't gonna shout their support o' proud boy behaviour, but many conservatives is afraid o' immigrants taking their jobs or the possibility such persons might be secret living as terrorists next door. and 'course most conservatives don't see selves as racist 'cause they no doubt has met black people who is well-spoken and have good jobs-- not like all the drug addicts on welfare a few (at least one) o' our board mods deride. conservatives tell us they is not racist, but that you cannot deny that minorities is committing all the crime, right? etc. our job taught us to listen to what people weren't saying. HA! Good Fun!

other than inherent immunity to fear, nothing provided a reliable defense to the vavakia vanguard's intimidation check. paladins and undead were unaffected, and am s'posing if you had a sooper high wisdom your dc would be too great to be affected by the fear effect, but the intimidation check were not subject to a will save or sr or pretty much any magic defense. is any number o' spells and defenses which grant total and complete immunity to fear, and the mind blank effect of army of heaven were one such spell which were ineffectual gainst the vanguards. if army of heaven works post patch, is likely mind blank works as well, but we would need test such. no good reason why army of heaven would work but mind blank wouldn't, but such simple logic is frequent a flawed guide when discerning the behaviour o' what would appear to be a bug. HA! Good Fun! ps our tactic were/is to fear-lock the vavakia(s) before it(they) could do the same to our party. only a couple o' 'em in the game, but as with so many such brutes, intimidation works 'gainst 'em. 'course the vagaries o' rng could result in us losing imitative with our chosen intimidator and such were the case in our laughing caves encounter on our angel run. had virtual our entire party panicked, but managed to survive even so with a near party wipe. nevertheless were a "wtf" encounter and so we replayed a few times to figure out just what were happening. thought we were prepared for the threshold encounter then the balor hit us with a chain lightning blast which did 254 damage on a successful save with both protection and resist electricity active. wtf. pps we initial played battles on core, then went back and played on hard.

*nods* tavor x95 is sexier. HA! Good Fun!

last time we saw mass media wrestling which interested us and were not ncaa or olympic were when louden swain and brian shute met. HA! Good Fun!

keep in mind that in spite o' the bad history repeated by more than a few boardies, there were a time not so long ago when conservatives and the nra were in favour of gun control legislation. HA! Good Fun!

am suspecting almost nobody has died or been serious injured as a direct result o' mishandling a skirt or a wardrobe malfunction due to shortness o' the apparel. neither wearing a skirt or carrying an ar-15 is a valid invitation for violence, but such an observation is red herring material. HA! Good Fun!

you mean other than the recent Presidential election, yes? oh, and biden got an infrastructure deal passed during the first year o' his Presidency, which is a bit quicker than trump managed, seeing as how he never managed to do so in spite o' there being bipartisan support for such legislation as well as republican majorities in the house and senate during the first two years trump were in office. have mentioned previous am not a biden fan, but the conservative fascination with trump is kinda mind boggling. the guy were a c-list celebrity (but a world class grifter) who managed to get himself into near a trillion dollars in debt before deutschebank bailed him out. nevertheless, trump campaigned on fear o' foreigners and promised an impossible renaissance for the rust belt and somehow with the help o' right-wing media, he became the self appointed high priest in a manufactured religious war 'tween conservatives and liberals... american liberals is, compared to most o' the world's democracies, pretty freaking conservative. the trump campaign saw frequent and public violations o' the rule o' law, and all those diehard anti government patriots who screamed that they needed their guns to protect themselves from government watched impotent or cheered active as trump gutted the Constitution. am suspecting that selling fear was enough to buy the loyalty o' many conservatives, and the rest were embarrassingly complicit. btw, rittenhouse most assured was NOT "legally carrying a gun." might wanna check the facts on that. regardless, you are conflating separate issues. if rittenhouse had been legal carrying a gun, would it have made him more sympathetic? we keep trying to drive this point home, but there is a big difference 'tween legal and right. procure an ar-15 so you may cross state lines to confront protesters while brandishing your firearm is in fact legal in many places and in many situations in the US. 2nd amendment and local ordinances make such behaviour legal, though again, such were not the case for rittenhouse. again, being "legal" doesn't make a behaviour more reasonable and less reckless. is no excuse for violence and fact rittenhouse were a derpy teen and a world-class dolt doesn't mean is ok that he should be subject to violence by civilians or cops or federal agents in unmarked white vans. so what? am able to decry violence AND recognize rittenhouse for the unsympathetic yutz he is and anybody shocked a clown like him with an ar-15 ended up in a bad situation is either a fool or lying. whether rittenhouse loses liberty for the shootings is gonna be separate from the illegal weapon charges he is facing, but such don't make much difference when considering whether or not rittenhouse is a shmuck. both left and right should be condemning the punk 'cause take your weapon to confront protesters is not the kinda thing reasonable people who is being complete honest is gonna claim is reasonable behaviour. dumb. foolish. reckless. etc. however, if dumb, foolish and reckless were the kinda thing which were making a person subject to criminalization, there would be more people in prison than not. HA! Good Fun!

fixed. is not just a rando guy. is not a conservative radio host. is not a televangelist. this guy were promoted over and over and over again. tell us nobody ever noticed his extremist views? is possible he were smart enough to be cagey for decades, but given how erratic he has been in retirement, is hard to imagine that flynn fooled all his superiors in the army.

...

our recollection is the tavern battle ends when two objectives is completed: you will continue to get waves o' attackers until objectives is complete. HA! Good Fun!

gotta admit, our first reaction were, "wtf?" ... then we kinda reflected and thought 'bout saving private ryan and we realized no other poster came anywhere near to capturing what am believing spielberg were trying to say. HA! Good Fun!

am not sure if we got a favorite drew struzan poster, but for some reason we insta thought o' the russian star wars movie poster, though not 'cause it was great or anything we do recall a few fantastic polish offerings. am thinking the polish saving private ryan might be top three for us. polish blade runner, apocalypse now and the birds are also kinda kewl. HA! Good Fun!

am not really looking for "best blaster," and have already mentioned the shortcomings o' metamagic feats + spontaneous casters earlier in this thread. the goal for our build were a charisma-based caster which thematically we could fit with azata. a gnome feyspeaker were perfect and a bit ridiculous. ideal. is where we got the idea for sosiel as we were planning to make our feyspeaker take one level o' crossblood sorc to take advantage o' ice powhaz. we also had plans for a nature oracle, but those were bugged. so sorc it is. heck, we went human for the bonus skill points even though half-elf with the charisma boost heritage were the obvious choice. "best" weren't the goal. am quite willing to settle for highly effective. is a few bardish builds which we considered for an azata run but skalds are still kinda wonky and the court poet in particular, while useful, felt a bit emasculated after the big patch/nerf, and is not as if it were sooper powerful before the nerf. owlcat noticed features weren't working for the court poet so it looks like instead o' trying to fix, they simply changed the court poet description to match the broken status... while also removing rage stances. *shrug* if am doing court poet is probable as levels tacked onto seelah. bard songs is kinda replicated with azata, so a significant feature o' the path gets wasted a bit on a bard. a dirge bard intimidator is incredible effective in wotr. am genuine a bit surprised we don't see more people glomping onto intimidation builds save for recognition that support classes is never particular popular, and dirge bard doesn't exact have a natural thematic mesh with azata anyway... 'though all it takes is a little imagination to explain such curiosities. HA! Good Fun! ps on our azata run we got lann doing the three levels o' zen + divine hunter... and possible one level o' demonslayer at some point. ordinarily is dogs, wolves and leopards exclusive for our animal companion classes, but the velociraptor has a charisma of fourteen... because? whatever. a celestial divine hunter animal companion gets smite evil once per day, and smite stacks with everything. so if we got seelah eventual taking eight levels o' court poet, and we stick a +4 or +6 charisma boosting item on lann's velociraptor, in boss battles the little dino is gonna be kinda impressive and utter ridiculous. win.

spontaneous casters get all the good stuff. is one reason why our second choice for azata were gonna be an oracle, but the blackened curse was (is?) bugged. nevertheless, there is a ring which allows you to cast all the best offensive fire spells... if you are a spontaneous caster. there is also bracers which allow you to cast all the best electricity spells... if you are a spontaneous caster. the fire spell ring is available kinda earlyish, and the bracers is chapter three in what were a difficult area before recent patches. am actual going hard for ice spells with our current (extreme slow) azata sorcerer run as the feyspeaker we were envisioning and shadow spells in general is busted at the moment resulting in a fubar intended concept... and as we noted, oracle weren't working neither, though am admitting oracle woulda' been fine even w/o blackened. therefore am going with our third choice which is the not the least bit unique sorc/arcane trickster. also, am taking one level o' crossblood sorcerer (silver dragon and water) for sosiel which sounds odd, but there is an azata spell which makes foes vulnerable to cold, so sosiel with the white dragon armour and the relic shield which buffs ice spells is actual decent as more than a dedicated healbot and buffer late game. the white dragon armour woulda' been perfect for our druid build, but oh well. while am not the aivu fan some people appear to be, azata does a fair job with providing whimsical and good options. there is a few azata path relevant characters and quests which we wish woulda' been better developed, but relative speaking the highpoints for azata is solid compared to the other wotr options. additional, am thinking part o' the reason why azata gets general approval is in part due to the wotr alignment system, as curious as such sounds. an angel character who selects "good" every single dialog is gonna shift to neutral good and away from lawful, so you frequent choose the lawful choice. wotr lawful is functional, "what would regill do in this situation?" paladin makes the good choice every time and falls from grace. is also nothing particular clever or surprising with angel-- is by the numbers heroic fantasy stuff. the evil mythic paths suffer from the usual crpg problem regarding the need to make evil options insular. oh sure, bill gates may be as evil as they come, but is not as if he kicks puppies whenever he gets the chance. crpg evil is usual a bit cartoonish and wotr is hardly providing a creative or unique approach to crpg evil. azata is nothing special, but it don't punish you for playing your character and it has a handful o' genuine chuckleworthy moments. HA! Good Fun! is ~2:00am pst and am getting a 2.4gb update, but not patch notes are available via steam or owlcat at this time.
