Not anymore, bro! The writers are totally better than that! The new lore is that Saurobrand helped Celebrimbor make two rings for the elves, so they can stay in middle earth and be a threat to him later. This is all because Saurobrand is in love with Gladdy and wants her as his queen. When she...

Hey hey people, did you spend a bunch of time getting tier sets, on your main and alts, so you could use them while leveling in Dragonflight? Well guess what, we changed all the classes so much that we will have to disable those sets when the pre-patch hits...oops.

No one told you that it is your duty as an American to run at least 1 bicyclist off the road, per year? You better get busy before INS comes a knockin and takes away your citizenship. Some cities have built or are building bike lanes, and it makes me wonder where they get the money for that...

Gas tax in Michigan is used for roads, just like most everywhere else. I would guess that taxing gas was probably the first tax implemented expressly for road maintenance, but increasing the gas tax is deeply unpopular, so of course politicians found a way to raise funds, w/o raising gas prices...

You plan on dying in the next 10 or 15 years, eh? Cali wants all new cars to be electric by 2025 or some ludicrous shit, so I am sure New York will follow suit soon after. Its all about tax funding, so even Florida and Texas may not be safe, if they see their tax revenue fall too far.

A per gallon gas tax is probably the best way to tax a vehicle's use of the road that those taxes pay for. The problems with funding roads actually started 15+ years ago, when vehicle MPG started to climb progressively higher. Politicians didn't want to be responsible for raising gas prices...

Yarp, it is inevitable. Gas tax is how governments fund a large portion of the road work. So, there has been discussions about how to fund roads, outside of gas tax, for some time now. DFW's solution is to sell the roads to Chinese companies to run a toll network. Currently, EVs are using...

The current current state is Shadowlands is cut short and everyone is waiting on the new xpac to drop. Pre-patch is less than a month away (probably), so it's best just to wait until then, if anyone is thinking of playing this month... As for the beta: It is hard to guess how bad things will be...

It would be great if Musk started taking on independent astronomy missions like developing and building advanced telescopes, but I don't see that happening with SpaceX, as a potential profitable venture. It would probably need to be a separate not for profit type company that he could use as a...

One future telescope project that will be able to see the surface of exoplanets using the Sun's gravitational lensing (maybe launchable within the next 20 years (w/ 30 year travel time:emoji_nose::

Movie Elrond, sure, but this Elrond doesn't have the rights to the Silmarillion so he is currently just a mediocre politician. They actually set it all up for Hildbrand since he made that one sword that all the Numenoreans smiths were in awe of and Gladdy said something about.

I play on core on my first play through, but on replays I cant help myself to min/max everything, so I crank it up to unfair. I'm currently playing melee lich and relying on way too many buffs, so I know I will hit a brick wall with Baphomet and his mass dispel. I recently tried to kill the...

It would be almost perfect if he says "You know, I'm something of a smith myself" when this scene happens. That single line could make this whole season worth it.

I would assume this is her fault, but still, her whole plastic surgery team should get a beating for agreeing to do this.

Mouse will make it too.

Sure, it would have been nice (if it's a better ruleset but not so dumbed down as D&D 5e), but internally, they would have started work on Wrath before or right around that time. Plus they already had the 1e rules all set up in Kingmaker, so all they had to work on was adding content, instead of...

It was AMC with The Walking Dead. I remember the episode even, because it was the Don't Dead Open Inside meme, and the last episode of that show I ever saw. Now that Better Call Saul is done, I will not watch a single thing they make until at least a few years after it aired.

Calling season 2 of The Wire shitty tells me your tastes have nothing in common with mine. This season is inconsistent, but other than maybe season 1 R&M, that's been the case throughout. They can't all be zingers.

Only pure casters are good for 20 levels in the same class in Pathfinder. Even a ranged, non mounted, bow user dips into other classes. DD is great for a sorc melee build, but only for 4 levels, then it's better to go somewhere else. I have not seen a high BABS melee builds, like Paladin...

It may be one of the reasons Owlcat decided it's next game would be 40k universe. To give time for the 2e to settle and everyone to get a proper handle on the rule changes.

In the character creation screens, on the class selection page, there is a box that lists weather you can turn on an auto build feature for that class. It is in the read out for that class/subclass, where the class description is, what stat is the main stat, whether it is a caster or melee, etc...

Negative, Kingmaker only had the core races plus Aasimar and Thieflings. You would have needed mods to get anything else. They did have the Serpent bloodline, so some classes could be kinda sorta Yaun Ti like. There seems to be a lot of mount builds now that they fixed mounts. Pets were always...

Not sure I understand, I don't think they cut any races or sub-classes from Kingmaker going into Wrath. If you mean dialog options then yea, that's mostly reserved for Mythic paths; not that they cut them all, there are still some race and class specific dialog flavor options out there. If you...

Seen people use that before, but I always end up forgetting about it. I have been using a chrome extension that does it on the fly, but yea, cant just link de-paywalled stuff using the extension. Extension: GitHub - iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome: Bypass Paywalls web browser extension for...

Bloomberg just ran a story on current housing trends. Paywalled, so I copy/pasted into the post bellow (hit the 10 attachment limit): https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-10/here-s-how-weird-things-are-getting-in-the-housing-market

Please refer to him by his full name, Quintus Pompeius Rufus.

Every time I see the Hellraiser thread in the Movie forum, the song starts to play in my head. Found this when I just went play it on YouTube. It seems Ozzy commissioned an anime video for this duo with Lemmy for the anniversary of the album:

I both like it and don't like it at the same time. It's a neat idea but those axe toes sticking up, even if they have no edge, would get annoying. Flat top bearded axe would have been better, but more expensive (there are other flat head axe options, I just like a bearded axe). Something like...

My gold fortune isn't doing any good just sitting there, so even if I get 20 hours out of the gameplay, it someone else's money well spent. I was hoping Microsoft bought them, and kept the system in place, so I could buy years of game pass, but that deal seems hung up for some reason.

Sick tier 1 armor "set" for the dargons, guess I will have to make one after all:

Using camera footage, a group of people from various professions 3D map the Beirut explosion and recreate how the warehouse was laid out. Can download and look at the models from their Github as well. https://forensic-architecture.org/investigation/beirut-port-explosion
