  2. Rutilated Quartz, Chrysocolla, Grandidierite, and Hackmanite walk into a bar. The guy in the corner says "This is the worst strip club ever!"
  3. Julie Adams, star of a number of movies and shows but maybe best remembered as the female lead in CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON passed away earlier this week at the age of 92.
  4. Yes it is recommended. The developers don't visit here as often anymore, and this really isn't an issue the community can help you with. An email through that account or the web form on the Help section of Obsidian's site should get the issue to someone (where it might be in their queue, I can't tell you). Hope you get a response soon!
  5. Umlauts signify a specific vowel pronunciation as I recall, so are in all parts of names and words. Eg, das mädchen = the girl (which can also be used as a forename, eg Mädchen Amick) for German. That said Jääskeläinen is a Finnish name I think, so its not an umlaut if I understand it correctly, but a Scandinavian character used in the Finnish alphabet (if we still have some Finnish speaking posters they may be able to elaborate further). Diacritical marks (like the umlaut or acute accent) are typically used to represent something that differs from the non marked usage. The acute accent in Spanish from my memory is used to indicate an irregular vowel stress or a distinction between words otherwise spelled the same. So González having an acute mark in her name in the text & picture should indicate pronunciation as gon-ZAH-les as opposed to Gonzalez which would be pronounced gon-zah-LES as I recall (however as we all know names aren't always pronounced how they're spelt, so...). A Spanish first name with an acute accent is Adrián, used to indicate the ia doesn't diphthong IIRC.
  6. 3D printing advancement, nicknamed "The Replicator": https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/forget-everything-you-know-about-3-d-printing-mdash-the-replicator-is-here/
  7. I always liked "This Thread Sucks" and "Drama!". "You lose" and "Nice theory" were also good. Well they were all good I guess.
  8. Yeah I can't find them either. I can't remember who used to have them as well.

  10. RIP **** Miller, 90. Did a lot of B movies (including a bunch for Roger Corman) and a lot of TV. I just saw him in an episode of TNG as a holodeck newspaper vendor. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/****-miller-dead-dies-gremlins-terminator-1203124265/
  11. That ad series didn't go anywhere I thought it was going to.
  12. Friendly reminder, treat each other with respect. Protip: Calling other users "minmax anal fools" is not a typical sign of respect.
  13. Please send the information to support@obsidian.net or use the form found at the bottom of this page - https://support.obsidian.net/article/12-looking-for-help-on-our-older-games to increase the visibility to your problem (posting here might get your issue seen by a developer, sending a request to support should be seen by someone and forwarded to someone who can assist).
  14. Bring out your funny stuff!
  15. Neil Jordan's latest film now has a trailer:
  16. Hahah, yeah there has been a perception that MLS was a "retirement league" - a place for the international stars to wind down their career with good paychecks after they stopped being able to compete on the international stage. I think having Premier League on tv can help as well; as good as the MLS players can be, the top Premier League clubs are at a different level and it shows in a good competitive match.
  17. I read that and my first thought was "...but who cares?" If you're obsessed with people knowing the real you (enough to go crazy for the character in the book!) then you're probably doing life wrong. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my time with my friends and family but I actually don't care if they know the "true" me or not just like I don't care if I know the "true" them. I'm content to let us be the people we are and perceive when we are together.
  18. Obsidian doesn't have a D&D license so unless they or Microsoft license the IWD setting from Hasbro/WotC they are not going to be able to make a game in the setting (even if they want to, which we also don't know that they do).
  19. I love IWD, but unless Microsoft gets the D&D license, I doubt Obs will have anything to do with an IWD3 if it happens. But since we're reminiscing, the thing that comes back to me from IWD at times is when someone says "promise", I hear in the back of my mind Kresselack saying "Promise? I made you no promise..." RIP Tony Jay.
  20. I think prequels, in general, are a bad idea although it also depends on the prequel too. I still enjoyed Solo, but it doesn't feel like an essential story either that we needed to see.
