Heals stopped working, entire game super buggy
And you are certainly entitled to feel that way. My experience on this forum (and Interplay and Black Isle Studios previously) is that there are points were the Devs have to choose between being responsive to the community and dealing with issues that have been identified (and trying to replicate those that have not). I'm sure they are grateful for the posts by users here, whether they have the time to say it for each post or not. Or even to acknowledge they've logged a bug for the I reports/testing. Your mileage may vary, of course. There is nothing in the forum rules that says you can't complain. We are only asked to not post material that is abusive, defamatory, libelous, harassing, hateful, obscene, profane, vulgar, or illicit; from spamming, from posting discriminatory remarks or from impersonating a real person (and a few other provisions) I believe that leaves plenty of room to register complaints, to be negative over development of the game or speed of fixes.

You can also PM forum moderators if you're not sure if something should be reported or not. I think some frustration is understandable; it's seen in all forums I've been a part of when bugs have been encountered. As I understand it the PACG ap has ten people on the team and only two that I've seen checking the forums - at least to post. We don't know if anyone has logged issues without posting. With a patch pending the team may be focusing on getting the patch out rather than posting here. I think we can at best just post as much information about bugs we encounter and wait for Obsidian to check the threads and fix the issues.

Batman's original appearance he sported a gun. Which he used. In 1940 issue he used the bat plane to gun down men who'd been turned into giant monsters by Dr. Hugo Strange. However there were already complaining about comics and kids and National Periodicals made a line wide mandate - their heroes didn't kill. This held until at least the 1980s when comics had completed their transition to the direct market and had primarily changed to an adult oriented product. However it should be noted that the 1989 BATMAN film also had Batman killing thugs during the bell tower fight (and fir the record, the people who complained about Superman killing Zod in MAN OF STEEL forgot he killed all the Phantom Zone criminals in one version of his origin - an act that led the character to adopt his no killing stance) As an aside, National's no-kill stance was not the industry's norm and most Golden Age Heroes had some deaths on their hands - even Fawcett's Captain Marvel often seen as one of the most whimsical charcters/series.

The US Election, Part XI
To be fair though, it'd my understanding they're generally speaking not supposed to. School pull all sorts of shenanigans to hide or improve numbers. When I was in HS one of the best performing schools in the area wouldn't provide weak students with their school number, so only the strongest student's scores ended up in the school's naturally high SAT average.

What's on the idiot box?
Yeah, LoT is the only one I'm watching regularly, so I'd initially thought your version of things (only watching the show) but with all the other Flashpoint changes I became uncertain if that was the case.

The US Election, Part XI
At least locally, they can transfer disruptive students to special schools to keep them from disrupting classrooms. And they can expel students based on actions in school (fighting, drugs, weapons, etc), but I'm not aware that an average public school with no special programming could turn away students (and in those cases, as I understand it, they could only turn away students from the special program). I could be wrong, of course, but that's my understanding of it.

The US Election, Part XI
They do that to keep their averages up to seem like a better more attractive school, and it makes public schools look worse. It also points out the hypocrisy of criticizing public schools that - unlike private or charter schools - can't reject students who aren't going to perform well, and further are being held to the standard that they 'fail' if they can't help all students. The line of thinking seems so pervasive in modern thought - that essentially education is a manufacturing job. The warehouse (school) gets material (children) with which they produce a shirt (graduate). This is nothing like what schools actually do - in fact it kind of misses the point of education. And I'm not saying that education in the US can't be criticized - I certainly have my own feelings about it - but it is (IMO) kind of silly to create impossible standards for public schools and then complain when the schools can't meet them.

What's on the idiot box?
I watched the Supergirl that tied in to the Flash episode. The fight scenes we're maybe not as big as what's seen on display in the Flash episode - however I think they had a couple of episodes last season that allowed Supergirl to really display all the Kryptonian powers based on previews and teasers I'd seen. First time I'd watched a full Supergirl episode. Since I'm not watching Flash though...I had a question. Cisco is mad at Barry for changing time with the result that Cisco's brother was killed. But how does he know that happened? None of the other people who'd had their history changed (like Diggle) knew it. Stein didn't totally know it (he knew his history was changing but not why) and he's a time traveler.

Azaven constitution check and Thassilonian Sins
I don't know anything with respect to the development of this game, but my memory from backing the game is that Obsidian's PILLARS OF ETERNITY was designed - and thus tested - to expect the player to use as full a party as they could. They didn't prioritize soloing the game or making sure it was possible. The physical card game is playable one player, but has the caveat iirc that not all characters were equal for solo play. My guess (perhaps wrongly) is the additional modes were tested with likely parties rather than solo play. Again no special knowledge, so I could be wrong.

Fidel Castro Dead at 90
Given the track record of the US, the alternative was getting replaced by a CIA puppet dictator. Sort of like Batista(who Castro overthrew) or Pinochet. While I wouldn't say Castro was good in the sense of being ideologically close to my ideal or good in practice, it's hard to imagine the alternative that wasn't as bad or worse. Its probably also fair to point out that Batista was showing no indications that he didn't plan to be a lifelong dictator himself. Unlike his first stint as President, he wasn't elected for president his second time around - he'd led a military coup after losing the election and installed himself as president. He reportedly had done many of the same things that Castro would later be accused of doing as well.

was that beyonce. pffffft. Maybe she'll be playing a Ruby Rhod type role? I'm not sure if Beyonce has the acting chops to nail that type of role as perfectly as Chris Tucker did, though, despite her decades of experience in the entertainment industry. I can't say the trailer leaves me inspired, apart from the visuals, but I'll hold out a tiny flicker of hope based on how freakin' awesome The 5th Element was. Are you all referring to Rihanna in the VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS trailer?

What You Did Today
Glad you're okay and the fire didn't spread I've never had a kitchen fire (thankfully) but the experts seem to say you should be able to smother a fire in a pot or pan with a non-glass lid to cover the pot/pan and turn the heat off. Baking soda (not powder) can be used to smother small fires as well.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
IIRC Bioware have already stated that the trip to Andromeda will take 600 years. Which is probably why they've set it as a dual exploration/colonization thing. I'd imagine there's more buy-in for volunteers when they can take their family with them in cryosleep and such.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I don't think there is a Hercules in Space by name, but one of the 1980s Lou Ferrigno Hercules films has sequences in space. I'm not sure the changes in Andromeda could be attributed to simply "it wasn't working" (I'd also dispute that it "went for fun" too, since my memories are that the series got bogged down pretty quickly in its mythology and overarching stories). The show itself was cobbled together from unused ideas of Gene Roddenberry (part of the idea for this series can be seen in the TV movies GENESIS II, STRANGE NEW WORLD and PLANET EARTH); Sorbo was a star coming off Hercules and the production didn't want to bury him in an ensemble; the ensemble included Rev Bem whose full body suit was wearing out the actor and Trance Gemini whose makeup shifted colors in natural light from the studio and necessitated creating artificial reasons why the character showed up in location scenes. I think a number of the supporting cast existed because they weren't sure what the show really was, and it wasn't until it'd been running for a bit that they were able to figure out how to address it (I don't say this to mean it was bad; Tom Baker's first season on Doctor Who has a similar feel; Harry Sullivan exists as a companion because they weren't sure who the Doctor was going to be; once they got through the scripts commissioned before they figured it out - they wrote the character out).
