    Salt and Sacrifice

    The annoyance and aggravation of the gameplay loop far outweighs the difficulty. Personally I didn’t find it hard, per se.

    V Rising

    Yeah the new settings seem great for stacking materials. @Chersk I agree and also don’t yet know. I can tell on my second restart it is even faster to get up and going so it makes me feel a little better. Otherwise, yeah. Seems like it is going to hurt. That’s why I started playing locally.

    V Rising

    I'll have to get back on and do more there. Yesterday, probably due to the patching and fixes, it kept booting me for server reboot every 5 minutes.

    Kendrick Lamar

    Check out some articles on Vice (yeah, but this is from 5 - 7 years ago if not more) by Ryan Bassil. They break down Kendrick's earlier albums and tell you the story the connects the songs. And things like DAMN being told in reverse. They were really cool when I was really in to Kendrick back...

    V Rising

    Will give that a shot tonight or tomorrow. There are a few quirks like that during the whole build process that make sense in retrospect, but for a newbie aren't immediately apparent. The other one was not being able to build beneath my wood coffin.

    haha I know. The games tells you at some point what you need to do for a roof, but just walking in blind you're like... Uhh, a roof would be nice! At the moment I'm confused about why my workshop floors aren't providing workshop boost. All my floors are of workshop type and they're continuous...

    V Rising

    Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard too. But I’ve never played one to know a difference and this one has PvE specific goals, so maybe it is just palatable enough. I honestly can’t say. May start a new character tomorrow on a pub server and see the difference!

    V Rising

    This is the first of the genre I've ever tried and it seems okay. Tons of stuff I'm missing or don't know the obviousness of since it is new to me, that others probably know second nature. Still not sure if I should be devoting a lot of time to this Solo PvE server / playthrough or dive in and...

    That's funny because the actress is named Tatiana, but Jameela Jamil plays a character named Titania.

    How is it that "Roof" is not fundamental to build as a friggin Vampire.

    Salt and Sacrifice

    Don't beat yourself up over the cloth. You'll get it naturally like the grapple and the luminous stone. Regarding "guessing' where it was going, there is always a trail pointing you towards the hunt you're on, so that should help a little.

    Salt and Sacrifice

    I'm enjoying this less and less the further it goes on. The game loop is growing irritating chasing the mages around the map until finally being able to fight them, constantly interrupted by regular enemies, traps, other mages at the same time. Overtuned is the word I will use. It just isn't...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    The first episode was good, especially when compared against recent Trek. Lays decent groundwork. As has been stated it felt more like real “Star Trek” and nothing like what they’ve tried to do with Discovery or Picard. It is definitely flashy and bright and CG. Not full JJ Abrams. It is closer...

    Morbius (2020)

    I expected a much larger train wreck and instead just got a pretty bad movie. It wasn't the worst and 50% of my attention was on Salt and Sacrifice. That could explain a lot.

    Took my own advice and re-watched Romancing the Stone tonight. By re-watch it has been probably 30 years since actually seeing it. The croc eating the guy's hand was my only memory of the movie and terrified me as a child. Movie is great. Much better than The Lost City. We'll probably do Jewel...

    The Lost City (2022)

    It made me want to go back and watch National Treasure. I also just assume this is better than the Uncharted movie I never bothered with. Brad Pitt was the best part. Channing Tatum and Sandra didn't have any chemistry. Super weird watching a 40 year old dude fawn all over a 57 year old, even...

    They/Them (2022)

    It is very similar behavior to a few previous posters that have 86’d themselves from the forums before. On topic: I’ll give Blumhouse the benefit of the doubt here. They put out / produce a lot of stuff and not all of it is great but they still manage to drop some gold. They’re like the SciFi...

    It is both. But that is the reason I don't want to dig too much up and risk damaging the surface roots and further down any other. Building "up" may not be ideal but hopefully even with felt and mulch on top would allow them to get rain and not kill the soil beneath, etc. I'm not worried about...

    Thanks for the input. It’ll be a process but yeah I’d like to get that area a little more grassy. I think for the play area rather than trying to dig all that whole area out and remove a metric half ton of earth I’ll build my perimeter with stacked / recessed landscape piers. Do a layer of the...

    Will spoiler these for size and try to answer. Not sure how to break up your quote to specific points. To address your last paragraph: Yeah, there is a big drain problem here for sure. My previous house's yard wasn't laid out anything like this. Was barely a yard since I was on the side of a...

    The third mage hunt? The Poison one? I have no idea if all these are the same order for everyone. I just did that one at level 6 with the Fire sword I made after killing the 1st mage. Took like 2 tries. It was funny b/c one of the green spear knights ran in to the fight and I just sorta hung out...

    Only had about 30 minutes to try this out tonight, did the 1st mage hunt. Seems pretty good so far. I mean, basically seen nothing and only have the 1st couple of skill points.

    Does the packet loss exist on both wired and wireless connections to / through the Orbi? I know you mention hard wired above but didn’t know if that meant, to everyone, a client laptop connected directly to the CM or the Orbi. If it happens both wireless and wifi through the Orbi, is it...

    Do they have a Kickstarter? I’d fund it just to read the pages of ways Utnayan would come up with to express his hatred and disapproval. They’d have to invent a new thesaurus.

    Got our 1/4 beef in yesterday. Took a bit to sort it all and make room in our chest freezer. Now I gotta start hitting this thread hard for ways to make a dent in it all between two of us. Processing sheet where we split a 1/2 with some friends.

    I went all Ego line for my blower, edger, trimmer, etc but stuck with a Craftsman gas mower. Even with a small yard it felt like electric wasn’t quite worth it. The Craftsman was $100 something and still uses the Briggs and Stratton engine. So far have been happy with it. I’m sure I would have...

    I'd jump on that for sure if you were interested at all in owning a planar. The DeWalt DW735 (or X model) is like $500+ can't remember what the deal I got at Lowe's was. This one is only single speed it looks like, but does that really matter? Ridgid has questionable longevity with Emmerson not...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Well your point is still wrong. It works exactly as I have been describing. I tested the balance every 1/2 turn of the adjustment screw with the exact same results. No setting allowed me control over the vertical tilt of the monitor. Every position the monitor tilts itself back up. The lightest...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Thanks, will watch tomorrow since I’m already in bed. But the 2nd response from the Ergotron rep basically sums up what I’ve been saying. Even with it turned completely counterclockwise, at the loosest setting, it still moves to tilt up. I cannot adjust it (turn it counterclockwise) enough to...
