    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They nerfed all my precious Mithril gear and turned it into steel *sad trombone*. Looks like they decided against adding the sixth tier of metal (Cobalt, supposedly) as a final tier and bumped Mithril into that spot, which I'm not sure I like. Six tiers (w/ cobalt) makes a tier per 10 levels...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Oh, lol. I thought the second "xpac" hadn't been released and that was just a standard old class they let be OP. New class and super OP, that makes more sense. If they are packaging up DLCs for one price every time they release a new one, maybe I'll just wait until the third or forth DLC to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yall are making we want to reinstall this again to see how a slow-ass Pally plays. It's been long enough since playing a fast class in season 1 or 2 that it shouldn't feel like an absolute slog. What do you miss out on by not having the xpac weak and shitty DLC?

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    Did you watch/listen to the Critical Roll YouTube show? I thought they toned down a bunch of the rough edges of the shittiest characters (Beau and Molly). They were both 1000% worse when listening to Marsha say "dope monk shit" for the 10,000th time or basically anytime Taliesin talked while...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Potatoes Romanoff take twice baked potatoes to another level and I don't think it's much more work. Chef John Pierre's recipe may be the best potatoes I've ever eaten and works fine as a main dish all on it's own. Boulangère Potatoes (link) and Hassleback Potatoes (link) were good too, but...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I went exploring with my level 20 druid and there looked like a lot to do, but I didn't see a zone in to a dungeon yet. There are various areas where zone lines may/will exist in the future. I think the orc camps I found were fairly high level (for the zone) and I remember running into a cave of...

    Amadeus (1984)

    It's ironic that this is used to justify inserting racial diversity where there was none and in turn white washing the struggles that the actual minorities went through in Europe during that time. As the AI listed, they were the underclass that everyone would have shit on; none of them would...

    Could be worse, at least that imitation vanilla doesn't have any coumadin (blood thinner) as it's primary ingredient like some of the imitation vanilla from tourist spots! PSA: Vanilla extract has a price floor due the cost/labor involved in growing and processing the bean. If the price is too...

    Maybe, I've had the nannies cause me to go off the road before. Granted I was trying to break the tail lose to fishtail around a 90 degree turn for fun... but still! At least it looks like they (car club, probably) were doing stupid shit on public roads the "correct" way, in that they had...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    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 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...

    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.

    @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...

    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...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    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.

Texas still has cloverleafs, they just get on and off of the frontage...

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).

    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.

    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.

    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...
