    What can I do in Texas or nearby?

    If you want a road trip: Corpus Christi is a popular vacation location that might be warm enough at Christmas? Outside of the normal beach stuff, they have the USS Lexington "The Blue Ghost" aircraft carrier, launched in 1942; it was the second carrier named Lexington to serve in WW2. Port...

    Hey, it's better than D3 minion AI!! Are you following the video guide that was linked earier in the thread (will link again at the bottom). He has links to his setup, which is made for Hardcore, so low dps, higher survivability. I made some changes to it, to switch more damage to sever and...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    They have release windows that their number crunchers say that the movies need to be released in for optimal profits. It also sends a message that they are willing to wait out the strike for at least a year; implicitly asking the writers if they are prepared to do the same.

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    From reading about the movie, in this thread, I think I would rather rewatch Avatar 1: The White Man's Burden again than see this in a theater. If Netflix or Amazon Prime get this, I'll probably watch it, but I'm in no hurry.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    X3:TC with the Litcube's Universe mod is still the superior game to X4, but they are all hard to get into, as there is zero hand holding and you need to read guides just to figure out where to start. I have not played Everspace 2, but I could dig an more arcade like space combat. I thought...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Trying to control the coon population through hunting seems like it would be a never ending task. They breed fast enough that any empty territory would just get new coons continually moving in, unless there are concentrated efforts to cull them in a wide area? I have seen the live traps be...

    That Viofo T130 looks ideal, as you then, in addition to a front and interior cam, get a rear camera for accidents and more coverage if damaged while parked. It also has a capacitor, which is nice for hot climates. Camtalk doesn't have an official review yet, as it looks like it has been...

    Don't kill the Owls, as they are a protected class (birds of prey are almost all protected), and they are one of the main predators of snakes, mice, and rats. Will an owl kill something it cant carry off and how big would an owl need to be to carry off an adult chicken? To protect from them...

    What you and I find enjoyable is obviously not the same. I got more enjoyment out of seeing and spending a few hours trying to beat difficult fights than the previous 10 hours of "events." I find all the events I listed as just good enough to keep me playing, so I can get to world level 4.

    Trick for Helltide: Use the map linked below and find an event location in the helltide zone do the event portal back to a main city immediately take the portal back to the event site new event should be in this new instance (if a new even didn't spawn port back to town and back again)...

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

    I'm not going to go do the same dungeon, zone out, reset, and then do it over and over and over again (the reported best XP/hour). So, going from 58 to 63 is going to probably take 6 to 8 hours of doing the normal events (tree bounties, nightmares, world bosses, and invasions).

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

    Grinding levels is much more of a bore than trying to win a near impossible fight...for a time, at least. I may have spent a few hours on it, but it will certainly take me many multiples longer to go from 58 to 63.

    Yar, I was having issues finding a good barrier rolled item. The highest I had was ~900, to go over the top of my ~1800 hp, so I didn't think it would make much difference. I guess I should have tried to juggle some items around and also equip the 20% dmg resist for 6 seconds on a builder lego.

    Decided to try the capstone dungeon (level 70) at 57, after switching to the Bone Spur build, since shit was melting. Figured I would dip my toes in, and if I got one shot at the door, turn around. Instead, I was able to clear the first stage with only a couple deaths. The second stage took a...

    The following site has good info and people posting videos of most cameras on day/night. They have an active forum for the camera makers and have a bunch of in depth reviews. They also have a short list of "Best dash Cams of 2023" at the top, if you don't want to spend a bunch of time on it. For...

    I had to check my playback speed. I guess I haven't listened to Todd since his lies about Oblivion because I didn't realize that he huffs helium before he makes promo stuff, kinda makes sense.

    Car ?'s

    They probable put the vin into a site like Manheim, which is a dealer only auction site. It's the quick and dirty way that will give the going rate for cars with the same options. Depending on how much time they took, you can narrow it down by mileage/condition to get a more exact price but...

    I am doing the sever build, where I sac the skeletons and just use mages to CC everything with cold. Can face tank most things, since I group up and stun with Tendrils, and they freeze before they get anything big off (mostly). Then it's just spam rotate sever with corpse explosions to build a...

    I haven't seen past 54, but I don't think the level grind will be required unless you want to push the leaderboards (depending on how those are set up) or if they make hitting level 100 part of the season journey. Regardless, I doubt I will ever hit 100 in this game, and if it is part of the...

    Link to the map got broken, so I fixed it. It's huge, so you can see everything when expanded. The Imgur map is also huge, if you open just the picture in a new tab, but it has the overlay in the way. It looks like the map is the 3.5d map since Anauroch is still a huge desert and Samarach is...

    Without a season's journey to keep me working toward a goal, I am loosing motivation quickly. Hit 53 and don't really want to do any of the events. Helltides and Legions are meh, haven't seen a world big boss spawn, and there is no need to run every dungeon. The Tree bounties seem to be the best...

    Was curious, so looked it up, ToEE is in a different world setting, Greyhawk. Faerûn is the setting that the Sword Coast is on and is used for many/most games. BG2 isn't really on that map you have, it is in Amn, to the south. Also, the NWN 2 main campaign is around Waterdeep, if I recall. It's...

    Yea, I also like Dr. Pepper well enough, but it doesn't sound great to use instead of root beer, to me, but people like different things. I also don't like a sweet BBQ sauce, so the root beer gives it just enough sugar.

    As Deathwing said, pulled pork is super easy to make out of shoulder roasts. I usually add some paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin to the following recipe. You can also use Ginger Ale or Dr. Pepper (never tried Dr. Pepper, but Ginger Ale worked just as well). You can freeze it before the BBQ...

    Old MMO games have a reputation of having spaghetti code. So it may be a monumental undertaking to modify it to a low bug, satisfactory point, where anyone would think it profitable enough to do.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Agreed. I am trying to hold off, since I think I could have gotten much more enjoyment out of their second Pathfinder game, if I hadn't played the first 2-3 chapters in the beta a few times. Kingmaker was one of my favorite games of the past 15 years, so the hype was too strong to resist for...

    Something like that, I assume. The good electric ones that they use in Europe cut down boiling times by almost 50% over boiling on the stove, but they use 220v as standard, instead of 110v. In the US, 110 electric kettles are only ~20% faster. GIS for UK electric kettle:

    It looks pretty parsed out already on Maxroll. People just haven't taken the time to write all the guides. I understand what you mean though, it's the feeling of what a fresh WoW xpac used to look like, before the start of almost everything being already datamined in beta. Even then, Legion...

    In terms of multiplayer, what does this have? The early D3 seasons I played had some group play (bounties were best as group, then clearing rifts with friends) but as the game got older, it was more solo, until they made solo preferable due to buffing followers (outside of bounties). The season...

    If you are making hot tea for 3 or 4 people, I would guess that it's faster to boil water in a teapot over using the microwave. A microwave also heats the cup more than just pouring hot water into it? I don't much care for black coffee and I don't drink my calories (by adding cream and sugar)...

    Americans, in general, don't drink enough hot tea to spend money on a electric tea kettle. I make a gallon of Iced Tea every 2 or 3 days, and just use a regular old 2qt pot to boil the water in, then poor that in the pitcher with tea bags and let it steep (then fill the pitcher with cold water...
