The US's involvement in Vietnam was a long chain of events (escalations) starting with Truman and his backing of France's imperialism instead of keeping promises of independence made during WW2, to the Vietnamese. If it wasn't for De Gaulle using the threat of the commies taking over France...

In my first playthrough I staked/killed Asterion when he tried to bite me and it's all still available to do. You just meet the Vampire hunters as a third party and they tell you do go save the people. I also let Wyll die because I refused to help his demon master in Act 2. I don't think it...

I thought Glasspacks on trucks and Fartcans on ricers were retarded, but that's some next level shit.

I have acquaintances in aviation at different levels and I have been around or flown in various aircraft, from a small two/three seat helicopter to the Goodyear Blimp. This is how I understand it: In private aviation there isn't necessarily people checking certs, especially if your flying out...

Depending on how much time you want to spend on making it 3D, you could use a full CAD program. It will give a lot of freedom and the ability to add whatever you can think of. The most recommended free one I found is Sketch Up. Here is a full 3D setup from the internets, most/all of the...

No no, I agree too. Anything to see Todd eat more shit and hopefully get Microsoft to fire him!

Best bet may be to look up local woodshops in your area and just start asking for quotes on what you want. If you are in a big city you could even start at the local good wood supply store and ask for referrals of their customers. Like the following shop in Dallas used to give referrals. They...

Hopefully Creative Assembly keeps up with their blog releases, like they did with TW:WH 1, 2, and 3, so we don't have to bother with these twits that call themselves gaming journalists.

Guess this can go here. Some news for the people who have jumped to Firefox due to Chromium's bullshit (that might trickle into all Chromium based browsers). "AI browser" in this context signals to me a willingness to use every method possible to capture users to maximize sponsored results into...

@Brahma could also do a VLAN just for the security system, but yeah, separated by hardware is the best you can get for segregating security systems. My Unifi router can run two separate LANs out of the same box, so it was the best of both worlds (security system on it's own LAN, then the other...

Playing Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 as "one" game in the BG2 engine is a fine experience. I played it again a few years ago (with the EE editions). Of course I'm a bit biased as BG2 was the first Bioware game and one of the first RPGs I played, when it was released. Beamdog's additional story content...

Timeline for BG3 Early Access: 27 Feb 2020 - BG3 was announced at PAX East. 26 Aug 2020 - Early Access was announced. 06 Oct 2020 - EA release. 03 Aug 2023 - Full release. They originally planed for something like a 6 month EA but after feedback they dropped trying to project release. Larian...

Well I'm certainly hoping it's turn based. Having both Owlcat and Larian turn to inferior games for my tastes would be a bit of a bitter pill. Both companies were day 1 buys and the only companies I have bought into EA for (on multiple games from each). I've already lost all excitement for...

Vivaldi with UBlock Origins and NoScript is working roughly the same for me (a bit longer load time, when it happens). One video every so often is slow to load, maybe 20 seconds at most, then the videos played directly after that usually have no delay. You could always try the Bing trick of...

The northern states have a different highway system from what I have seen. Where yall have cloverleafs (and the like) to get directly on and off of highways, the south has frontage roads with on and off ramps back and forth. Texas still has cloverleafs, they just get on and off of the frontage...

Wat? I don't remember Super Mario 2 forcing you to play any of the girls and if you didn't pick Wario in Mario Kart you're a fag anyway (with Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, there is no reason to play Peach). Man-ginas in EQ, then WoW, always seemed shady because there were enough of a certain type...

I'm currently trying to get/make Huskar stuff, but the mobs are a bit too high...

It looks like all the races and classes that were available last time I played are available this time. Halflings were the newest additions for that test. As an aside, there is no end time on this flash test, but it sounds like it was a last minute deal to play around with new server hardware...

So the loot sellers invite them into the group to get kill credit. Need to be on the hate list while over the level cap? Then run in, get death touched with a 96% rez as part of the sale. Sweatlords will find a way to sell it if it's popular enough.

Easy to digest overview of three of the largest issues/problems currently being discussed in Astrophysics:

Just to clarify on how insane you actually are, for my own curiosity. You know I was not the one you were "arguing" with (spewing diatribes at) these last few pages? I only made one post about the whole food thing in this thread. Your diatribes are so off-putting that I read the first few lines...

...or I just don't answer your snarky ass shit, like usual. See, the post I replied to was halfway normal, so I decided to take a chance, my bad... yet again. I didn't speak to anything on your further rant about my personal ideologies, only in how the writers could write around it.

While the over the top food debate is beyond tiresome, it should be easy for them to sidestep the whole "we cant harvest the corn and soybeans because it murders millions of mice" thing by further defining their "safety" parameters. The "we value all life" can simply be a shorthand said to the...

That sums it up perfectly. The last season of Mando (a steady decline from S1) and this show killed any hope I had for Favreau and Filoni "saving" the franchise, or at least stabilizing it on life support. Andor was great, but that show is a unicorn that I don't see ever happening again. In...

Supposedly there is no known limit to intelligence. A brain is a neural network that makes intelligence. Two brains linked would be a larger neural network. Every brain on the planet would/should make a super-intelligent network the likes we should not be able to even imagine (which is a huge...

Respawns are respawns. Didn't you need to rest at a campfire to save the game? So hopping from one campfire to another to save progress and heal, then doubling back to see what you missed would get you respawns. It was a long time ago and it wasn't an experience I burned into memory (outside of...

I didn't see anything that led me to believe the ET Virus had to be activated. In the first episode everyone starts acting under the virus's control as soon as they are infected and then they show the aircraft seemingly doing global aerosol dispersion. In the subsequent episodes, the only...

I didn't play it on a PS anything. I don't buy consoles and I don't play consoles (usually), so keeping track of of the generations means nothing to me. I did "hack" one of my roomate's PS2 and pirated a bunch of games for it for a few years... so that's basically the default console I go to...

It must have been Dark Souls 1 then, it was a long time ago, and since I didn't enjoy the game, there was no incentive to remember that many details outside of I hate constantly respawning trash and no story to be found. Again, I can write off a lot of the overall negative experience to shitty...

Who you callin an EQ worshiper? I'm saying I did my time grinding for 10 lifetimes in EQ with hours on end of insta-death kiting if I fucked up (20 some years ago and I still am sick of the AA grind). Outside of a few bosses, Elden Ring as a mage wasn't harder than that (some Triumvirate boss...

Figured "100 times" was a good round number to exaggerate for effect... My only real memory of Dark Souls 2 is going in completely blind on an emulated PS2 copy (also fuck any company that does exclusives), where all the tutorials are in PS2 controller, not M&K, and spending half of my ~4 hours...

The whole game feels like a grind. "See that hall over there that you have to run through 100 times, well those 8 skeletons will be respawned EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to run though it." Fucking busy work that's not fun. "Want to know anything about the characters in the game? Well read this...

Fuck From Soft games and the shitty story, grindfest they road in on!

Competing for a spot on the 10 slot spell casting bar hurts Harm Touch as well. The 30/45 min cooldown that maybe does half of a normal, even con, mob's HP isn't going to save the day anything close to the amount of times Lay on Hands does/will. Sure, if a snare wears off and the stun/mez/grip...

Reminder of the record holder, before Guinness deemed it too dangerous to keep such records:

Real story: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bald-eagle-north-carolina-cat-vehicle-windshield/

To add onto this. Clerics also get a damage soak bubble that is insta cast and not on the global recast timer (still has it's own short timer). So they should be the "best" healer, but not by that large of a margin. Which is needed, since the other two get stronger utility in haste(shm)...

Weird, Asmond's editor made this "Watch on Youtube only" or is this really YouTube fucking with them?
