  1. Bartimaeus - you can always dismiss that banner, but nothing I did yesterday seemed to take it to completion either.
  2. Start of old thread End of old thread Continuing the conversation, last Zoraptor said (sorry can't quote right now) -
  3. According to the two factor thread you still get logged out with two factor. Also in that thread The Guildmaster (admin) states that they are working to fix the time-outs.
  4. I'm using Firefox, so I think the guess humanoid made that it defaults to turned on for mod/admin may be true and it hasn't been turned on for other groups (yet?)
  5. Since SChin mentioned in the post on the new boards " customize their profiles with cover photos" specifically, I'm thinking it might be a global setting. From the announcement thread you can see the screen capture where the edit button is supposed to be (and where it apparently is for some mods).
  6. You were linking to the thumbnail and not the jpg.
  7. Go to your profile. You should see an option to click "Cover Photo". From there it should allow you to upload an image.
  8. New thread: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/109221-the-blockbuster-oscar-bait-movie-thread/
  9. Start of old thread. End of old thread And now on to more about the cinema, motion picture, nikelodeon world...

  11. There's a second theme you can switch to that is mostly white with blue highlights.
  12. Please put potential spoilers in spoiler tags. It may be a new look, but spoiler tags still work. If your posting fake spoilers, please don't. Since I haven't seen the film, I have put the spoilers in a spoiler tag on the chance it is legit.
  13. According to Richard Shenkman's LEGENDS,LIES, AND CHERISHED MYTHS OF AMERICAN HISTORY during the deadliest year in Deadwood's history, only four people were killed. In most of the violent towns of the old west, they average about 3 homicides a year with 1 homicide in every 3 years (on average) being from a six shooter.
  14. Regarding ST - ST:TOS - sentimental favorite as I watched it growing up, I still feel it has some of the strongest core ideas if you like big imponderable ideas in a sf setting that usually isn't dealt with very deeply as Kirk needed to fight someone and get his shirt ripped. ST:TNG - Working my way through this again. I remembered enjoying it, but also feeling like a friends description as Star Trek Intergalactic Taxi Service wasn't wrong. Be curious to see what I think now. First season is actually better than I remember it (damning with faint praise?) ST: DS9 - Only saw maybe half the episodes because the local station bought it to bury it in the early morning (2-3 am). Seemed like it had a lot more story to tell because it dived deep into one area (but at the expense of the best 'adventure into the unkown' that other series offered, though they did manage some of that even with the stationary locale). ST:VOY - Why didn't Paris die in the first episode? Or before the first episode? I'm not sure I've ever really given the series a fair shake because I hate the character of Paris so much. My memory is that too much time was spent with the characters bickering but my memory cheats (if not out and out lies) at times. ST:ENT - goofy. But sometimes enjoyably goofy. I don't think I saw the last season other than the final episode. ST:DIS - Haven't got to DIS yet.
  15. So who wants to get married and invited everyone to their wedding? Or maybe is already married and wants to invite everyone to their renewal of their vows ceremony.
  16. IMO, the point of the romance can't be to succeed in a game without a pre-generated PC character1. Romances should be able to fail, and should be able to fail for things outside of the player's choice. Otherwise it is a pointless narrative device that violates the idea of allowing the player choice and consequences to those choices. We've talked about the idea that romances can be important in a narrative sense before, but having a romance that doesn't end well can surely be just as narratively interesting? Additionally you should not have to romance a NPC to have an "immersive party" or "follower interaction" as that is forcing the player to meta-game (romance whether their PC would or not) in order to get an interesting NPC follower and is IMO poor design (and part of the reason, I think, people haven't always appreciated romances in games as it typically has meant exchange an interesting general character for one that is only interesting if you romance them). 1I think once you have a pre-generated PC character, you can make the argument that you are RPGing a specific character about which certain aspects of their story can be comfortably designed around the character and not around player choice, like in a lot of JRPGs.
  17. Kazuo Koike, creator, with Goseki Kojima, of LONE WOLF AND CUB. Also Lady Snowblood, Crying Freeman.
  18. That trailer was so over the top, it broke through the bottom of an Oscar bait film trailer and then went over its top as well.
  19. Maybe an Apocalypse Cow intervened...
