That's twenty in Roman Numerals. Thread thirty is going to be a hoot. Gromnir had the last post - it isn't difficult for Gromnir to add to the list o' Obama executive orders which offend beyond immigration and minimum wage, but such stuff is in our wheelhouse as it were. expansion o' domestic surveillance by means o' order were a particular troublesome example, but is hardly solitary. can laundry list stuff if need be. *shrug* in any event, am thinking it is a common mistake to get over invested in the executive orders while ignoring regulations and, to a lesser degree, memorandum and proclamations. am gonna suggest Obama did more to intrude on legislative domain than any executive since LBJ, and he were bold and unapologetic 'bout it. his comments were deserved criticized. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/executive-action/ whether you like universal health care, increased minimum wages, changes to immigration, net neutrality along with some o' the more sinister stuff Obama tired to slip past Congress (and were often failing to do so-- no other recent President, regardless o' party affiliation, has had such a dismal record when facing SCOTUS review) the chief executive's role is not to legislate... and were not just executive orders which Obama were using to transform the Presidency. when Schumer and Pelosi were cheering on Obama as he found ways to marginalize obstructionist (*snort*) republicans, Mitch McConnell (and Gromnir) were warning o' the eventual day o' reckoning. took little imagination to foresee what would happen when a republican President were sitting in the oval office and had access to a pen and a phone. thank goodness for the relative impotence o' the current chief executive and the common sense o' a few republicans. more than once during the recent Prez elections we opined how trump would have much difficulty advancing his policy agenda. much stuff promised by trump, such as a muslim ban, were patent Unconstitutional, and most other stuff were requiring legislative action. seeing as how trump were not a consensus builder, we predicted a certain 'mount o' Presidential impotence... and thank goodness we were right. a more skilled chief executive with advantages o' a majority in both houses woulda' been punishing democrats for the excesses o' Obama. is also a relief republican leadership has chosen to put a stop to some o' the madness o' the previous administration. trump failure to overcome filibuster has not been met by Congressional effort to change rules such as happened when Obama appointees were being routine held-up. regardless, numbers of executive orders is extreme misleading even if many conservatives reflexive complain 'bout numbers. too many conservatives nowadays is only capable o' parroting what they see on fox news or read in a trump tweet... and we all know just how accurate such sources is. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/08/01/president-trump-has-made-4229-false-or-misleading-claims-in-558-days/?utm_term=.7408a268d4c7 two quick asides: 1) Obama, a Con Law prof complaints o' gridlock bothered us a bit https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/102573-politics-thread-ka-tet-of-19/?p=2076988 he knew better. 2) Obama didn't wake up on the first day o' his Presidency and single-handed transform the office 'cause Congressional indolence in recent decades made it increasing necessary for chief executives to do what Congress were failing to do. HA! Good Fun! And since we were talking US Political Parties in the last few threads, I'll add the thoughts of one George Washington from 1796 - "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

See new thread.

ReAnimator perhaps? Though what do you mean by 'cheesy' exactly? Not really sure I'd class ReAnimator as cheesy, but I guess that's the problem with the term, it could mean an awful lot. I think of Ed Wood films, for example.

Is this really a thing?

I vaguely regret selling Golden Axe: The Duel. But that's just because I'm a freaking completest sometimes and not because its a good game. For the most part I kept what I wanted to keep and got rid of the stuff I didn't. I can't recall anything (beyond GA:TD) that I've felt even vague regret over selling at this point so I've probably forgotten them...but out of sight, out of mind. Unless someone reminds me I had it, I probably won't even think about it ever again at this point. The only system I sold was an original GameBoy Advanced in favor of a GB Advanced SP so that I could play without having to put a damn lamp in my face to see the screen. Stupid GBA lighting... (grumble, grumble)

If social media existed at the time, Proust's fans would probably complain through social media that he died before he completed his revision of the last three volumes of IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME and instead his brother had to complete them... Then again, you're right that serialized authors would probably be bemused by the situation with Martin since they had to maintain steady (and in the case of the pulp authors, prodigious) amount of output to maintain their livelihoods.

Like Kanisatha, I don't recall any talk of an expansion for IWD2. It was originally supposed to be a short production, quick turnaround game designed to get some immediate cash in the face of Interplay's mounting financial problems (hence why it was originally going to be 2e and use kits to build off all the stuff already created for the Infinity Engine to that point). I imagine (but could be wrong) that expansions to IWD2 weren't seriously considered in favor of trying to get BG: The Dark Hound completed, as the full BG game would have (theoretically) benefited Interplay more than expansions to IWD2. From what I recall the last projects BIS worked on went something like: IWD 2 (released Aug 2002) Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader (released Aug 2003; developed by Reflexive but I know some BIS employees worked on it) BG: Dark Alliance 2 (released Jan 2004; delayed from Oct 2003 release date due to disagreements with Vivendi that didn't get resolved until Nov 2003) Fallout 3 (cancelled Dec 2003) BG: The Dark Hound (cancelled Dec 2003) BG: Dark Alliance 3 (cancelled Dec 2003)

Whose alt are you? We all alt down here. You'll alt too. RE: Friskies, was originally a Carnation company. Bought by Nestle, then moved the dog/cat food over to Purina when they bought/merged with them. Megaconglomerates FTW!

I wouldn't be surprised if Dorn were in it since it could be the long rumoured (maybe pitched is more appropriate, since Dorn was pretty vocal about wanting it) Captain Worf series. That would also fit a hypothetical Admiral Picard role for Stewart where he could be as prominent or absent episode to episode as he wanted to be. An aging Picard is aided by Worf while both are on the run from a secretly Romulan run cabal in the Federation that is hunting down everyone who'd ever been on the Enterprise so they can harvest their DNA, make clones of them spliced with Khan's dna and create the ultimate battle starfleet. I doubt it'd do more than 13 episodes and more than likely be more like 6 or 7, I'd think.

I think if there was anything useful in this thread, it has already happened.

You asked if someone could ask on Owlcat's forums, and he gave you the Pathfinder rules about carrying capacity. There is not anything obnoxious about that. Are there issues with the way Pathfinder handles capacity? Yes. Say you have a Wizard with 8 Strength, your capacity is going to be pretty low. However, if you happen to be carrying around 5k gold, you're going to be over if not close to that capacity. Woe be the pack rat in your group... Of course, they could go the PoE route and give you a stash that you can access, but it would be better if they gave you a caravan/wagon to hold it all. I asked about completion timers, not about encumbrance. ”Could someone ask on official owlcat forums about this? There's weight system that makes characters move slowly...” Either the second thing is completely ****ing random or it is the thing you want someone to ask about. The second thing is encumbrance. You’re welcome. I think what is being asked is "can someone confirm with the developers that there are timers, as the system of encumbrance causing characters to move at variable speeds may make it problematic to complete quests with timers given that encumbrance might be different for different members of the party". At least that's how I read it, Melusina can correct it if I'm wrong. As an aside, I'm with gfted1 on this, I'm not keen on timers. Particularly not the "go to that place and do that thing in 10 minutes or else the world will collapse. Oh and I don't know where that place is or what it is you have to do. You have 9:30 now, might want to get hurrying" type timer.

And Marlon Brando wore an ice-bucket on his head on screen for THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. Although to be fair, it was hot where they were filming at.

Proust also didn't have to deal with the fans pestering him about when the next part would come out like poor George R. R. Martin does.

^I believe you meant you were hypothetically complaining...

They ultimately voted to keep their old flag than get a new one.

Seems to me that some players wanted Eothas to be like Sarevok, Irenicus, or Amelyssan from the BG series, but he was actually the Lady of Pain from Planescape instead. ... Perhaps they should have let players attack him and have them always get TPK in one-shot (perhaps even with a PST Lady of Pain style cutscene) and acknowledge the folly of that expectation.

Oh good, I was afraid I was going crazy (crazier?) when a whole page went by and everyone just glossed over this. That was my fault. For some reason I have trouble keeping Orwell, Orson Wells, and HG Wells separate in my head. I blame video games. ...Orson is actually Welles, if we're talking Orson of Rosebud fame, not some distant obscure cousin of Herbert. 'sfunny how fanboy No 1 compares the not-yet-released game's promo texts with a game that's already out and comes to conclusion that looks OK to him? Also, his obsession with validating his dislike for Deafire starts to look rather unhealthy. Dude, it's just a video game. It's not a big deal if you don't like it as much as some other games. No, really. Typo on my part on Welles. Correcting information on the internet is like looking into the abyss, it looked back into me.
