    Ahsoka

    I was also thinking along these lines. She wasn't actually in the World Between Worlds, but in some kind of force meditative stasis. If you want to go more into the spiritual side of the force, we have seen the force manifest itself to Jedi in places that are very powerful with the Force in...

    Good, Bad and Ugly of the 1980s

    There is so much good music in the 70's 80's and 90's for most of the board, that everyone should have to come up with 2 bad (ugly just means bad) songs for every good one listed. Good: Bad: Ugly:

    The clay expands and contracts a lot, but there are plenty of people using water wells, so dunno how a well for geothermal would be any different.

    Was looking up when the episodes are released and saw the Shin actor looking mighty different in the actor line up. It's amazing how much bangs change her face. Also...neck:

    I was figuring, on a new house build on an empty piece of property, if you have the wells for it drilled at the same time you are having a water well drilled (using the same company), then it would make the math work out much better, but never actually priced it out. It's also supposed to be a...

    I really want to try geothermal but it has a huge upfront cost and not many people know how to do it in Texas (it can work, supposedly, but the engineering is a bit different than up north). Explanation for anyone not sure about how they work, from University of Illinois Energy/Nuclear...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I didn't expect much and feel I got what I expected. It's Fallout 4 in space and I will get about the same 30 to 40 hours out of it that I got with FO4. I haven't played in 3 days, because of lack of interest, but people say the UC missions and Pirate missions are good, so I at least want to get...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My bad, I know that most of them have been in a whole bunch of shit, but I should have edited Chris's quote to what I was responding too. Chris said that he has seen Alfie Allen in a bunch of stuff, and I thought I had seen him in a few shows too, but nope, just the SAS show. Then I went and...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The space combat is pretty shitty, or I am doing it wrong. Everything outside of missiles is auto seeking as soon as it's in front of a ship (until you get a lock, then missiles too), so the "difficulty" is just building a bigger bullet sponge that can take three ships barring down on you while...

    By the end of DoS2, Larian went from a AA studio of around 40 people in one location to 130 in three locations. Then by the end of BG3, they went from those 130 people in three locations to 450 in six locations that they have now. I would argue that that they were hiring people as needed and...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    There is no way to track it. For the ship parts and base building ones that require 30 "different" items be made/outfitted, I used the long list of cheap shit (like furniture for outpost and structural for ships) and just started at the top. Every model counts as a new item made, so say there...

    Depends on if it's a finished or unfinished basement? When I lived up north, we had a regular door "sealing" off our unfinished basements. I don't think there were any registers in the basement, or if there were, it was only one or two for the whole area. I distinctly remember the sump pump in...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Maybe I was comparing Firebolt and Sacred Flame after all (I wrote firebolt off fairly early, then used mostly guiding bolt mid to late game for filler). For the vast majority of the game, she had the highest AC, so would have her midline, in order to melee and tie up enemies when possible. Once...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Weird, I remember her firebolt having a lower hit chance than guiding bolt, so never used it. Then Sacred Flame rolls against a dex saving throw, so never really used it either, just ran into melee, which she was decent at, when respeced tempest.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Unlike older games, where you get healing touch 1, 2, 3, 4 as you level, if you want to heal more, you upcast the lower level spell. Still, in this game healing spells are fairly worthless outside of healing word, since potions are better. The main purpose of healing word is to stop characters...

    Haven't had a pirate attack, but there could be a trigger that I didn't hit, or I just haven't played long enough for it to happen (maybe 2 or 3 hours since finishing the base). My base consists of: 10+ level 1 extractors/miners 1 large round landing pad 1 transfer pad 3 level 1 solar 3 He3...

    There are no plants or animals on Linnaeus IV-b, but that also means you dont need defenses, which I assume are useful on planets with atmospheres.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I don't think so. I had the same problem when finding all of those 7 in one spot (once), but for me it was He3 vs Ytterbium. Ytterbium is rare, but also not used in as much stuff as any of the other items, so I just dropped it from consideration. Both He3 and Aluminum are used in enough things...

    You may have come to the point where you need specialty tools, or, at least, they will make the job of chasing gremlins much easier. Skimming back over your old posts, I didn't see anything about a tune up? You could replace plugs and wires or you could test them (you have to take them all off...

    Blizzard is a lie, this reality is a LIE

    I would guess that you have to do it like a Beautiful Mind and ask multiple people as you go, depending on how the illusions work, the brain can't make up illusionary people of the fly? I don't really know how it works. I meant as a way to actually get help, and know that it's not just having...

    Blizzard is a lie, this reality is a LIE

    Whether a third party can actually see and talk to the second party, that you are talking to, is probably a start. I am fairly confident a third party could not see, nor talk to the three dudes that watch him, watching porn.

    Blizzard is a lie, this reality is a LIE

    If a person has a hard time telling what is reality and what isn't, how does one know they are actually getting help, or if it's just part of the brain's malfuntioning fabricated reality?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I would love it in this game too, if they could figure out how to actually make it a mechanic that adds difficulty. I tried to stretch resting as a self imposed difficulty mechanic and it made fight decisions more tactical or "feel" more DnD to me (used more consumables and cantrips, mostly).

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Resting is a core DnD mechanic, so they had to included it. I just don't see how they could ever make it work right in a video game like this. I think one of their design goals was to accommodate players that don't want to explore ever part of the map, or just plain miss areas like the...

    I had this sorta happen (but opposite) on the first first scene in the game. The dude in the elevator (Hecktor?) was rubber necked with the back of his head pointed at me when he was talking.

    On one hand I was also thinking outposts were going to be a build your own high tech walls and building too, which was a little disappointing. On the other hand, outposts don't feel completely worthless like FO4 settlements were. At least now you can set up outposts to manufacture parts needed...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If we just count the actors getting parts since D&D destroyed the IP with season 8 (2019), I have only seen Alfie Allen, Jason Momoa, and Madson (Rob Stark) in one show each, which were SAS: Rogue Heroes, Dune, and 1917. If we open it up to after they got big on GoT, around season 3 (2013)...

    Easy, even if you are interested in it eventually being a good game, it will go on sale before that happens. So why not save 20-50% when refunds are so easy to get? Morrowind and Skyrim are the only two Beth games that I played even close to the amount of hours that I have already spend on BG3...

    I think I read that shops reset every 48 "standard" hours, or what ever they call their base time unit. So find a planet with very slow spin and 1 hour of rest on it will take X hours of standard time (it's the same 1 hour tick for the player waiting or sleeping). The Planet where you can get up...

    I tried to do some quick google searches on it, but didn't really find anything exactly addressing the internals of the moon. If I had to take a guess, it would be that while the moon is stuck in tidal lock in the Earth's gravity well, it is still pulled by the sun. The center of gravity/orbit...
