I don't remember which one it was, but Netflix Documentaries really lost me years ago when it was clear they were just padding time to get their 6 or 8 episode run time (may have been Wild Wild Country). With that in mind, really surprised it didn't go into every minute detail. A week or so...

Have they posted pics of in game Dark Elves? Not that I am going to play, but interested to see what they go with after the meth body wood elf look.

Without looking up the necro spells directly, playing with the SK/Rog/Wiz taps was all about cast time. Once you get high enough spellpower and crit rate the two fast casting taps (chain cast, back to back) are going to out perform the longer casts in HP/sec and you are only using them for...

As a Wood Elf, it looks good enough to me! DVinn is twice the monster Flippy ever was!

Perhaps we should reevaluate Flippy's positions. Humans really did ruin their own lands, especially once immigration from Odus started.

Lulz, musta been weird for the FBI boomer bosses to go looking for one of the computer guys and find you. When they walk into the lab:

Don't really remember the details of the fight. I think I had the insta-cast cure shield, maybe. Is it a disease slow? If not, dunno. I remember not being able to cure the slow on Emp Shis during Luclin, but it was still a fairly easy fight, just long.

Digging through the THJ thread, here is a parse from Quarm (DPS was ~20% lower than Time Inny fight, for whatever reason): Also, here is a Petcuck google speadsheet with PoP updates from THJ thread: [SOURCE]

Rogue adds a TON of damage with Wiz. Double/Triple/Ripost backstabs happen fairly often and they can proc poison. My memory is old, but I think poisons were doing roughly as much as hard cast wiz spells (10k poison and 12k wiz spells). The Anger of Shissar poison line procs often. On THJ I used...

When I saw this earlier, I hadn't heard about the horse testicles modeling and thought it was a "knees too sharp" type joke, but here is another:

A clip of an article on the first Pacific settlers, from a New Zeeland.gov website on proto-Polynesians (Lapita peoples): Also kinda relevant, talking about NZ specifically: https://teara.govt.nz/en/pacific-migrations/print

Not sure if you are specifically replying to the "ancestors of Americans" or just in general, but the "driven by one thing: resources" certainly doesn't apply to a decent amount of the English coming to the new world. A large subsection of them were primarily fleeing religious persecutions by...

May be too late, but for poison, you just make Anger of Shissar (all mats on vendor in Baz) until the level 65 one goes green. For everything else I think I followed EQProgress guide or cobbled something together from the "old" guides on EQTraders. The MQ program (autocombat) should have an...

Reading about his death made me want to revisit the collections of posts on a survival forum of the dude who lived through the Siege of Sarajevo. Looks like he wrote a few books about it too (LINK). Wonder if it rehashes the posts he made or if it goes into other things.

How long can a nuclear plant generator run without a complete overhaul? How long before "things like the engine block will have to be replaced"? It's not going to be two stroke engines and pickem-up trucks running things... Yall are acting like if humans can't do it tomorrow, it can never get...
