    That seems way off, unless you're just super lucky. I've got 22 hours each on Ronaros and Blood Wolves tracked in Garmoth for my pot pieces. No clue about Sherekhan (didn't track those), but that was my only full piece drop. I'm also a little bit confused by this "600-900m+" an hour at fucking...

    Wow, that one stings. Grew up with Pee Wee. Shit, one of my best friends growing up has a Pee Wee tattoo.

    Guess I didn't do too bad, in actuality. Missed maybe 15-20 cents a share. Been hovering around the same price for most of the morning now.

    Just barely in the green. Basically enough that I'd call it break even.

    Haunted Mansion (2023)

    October release also means fighting actual horror movies. Which basically means this would only get the families at best. Dunno, maybe that's all it gets anyways.

    The guy addressed that, although I don't think he actually made a statement about why that was the decision. The example was the "climb ladders and shit faster" trait. No one will ever, ever put a point into it. So why even include it? It's a trait that works if you can max every single one as...

    Hijack

    Sorry to offend you. Just seemed like such an old trope that I'm disappointed it would even happen still. But then, most of the stuff that happens in this show is relying on "suspense by ineptitude" so it's kind of par for the course.

    Hijack

    This show is the worst. I'm half convinced it's supposed to be a comedy. "That's an airplane toilet" might be the funniest line of 2023. I'd like to meet the crack writer who typed that up and was like, "nailed it." And yeah, after 7 fucking hours now they're finally all, " oh wow, these...

    Have a volante already and do Hark runs and Margoria runs. Sailies are easy because you don't have to do much, but they're only certain times (think 4 or 5 people run em). The Pit of the Undying is solid for a few hundred with minimal effort. And then warhero'ing on other guild's Khan's runs is...

    Ha! Yeah, we got to the last boss on veteran. That's some fucking retarded shit. Dunno how long this'll take to beat.

    I mean, they're poorly designed bosses. "Instant wipe" mechanics are almost always just lazy. And in this type of game they're just retarded.

    I've done the first three levels of all but Imoogi, and 4 on a couple. But I stopped caring and now I'm just running easy ones. The reality is the rng is too shit for me to spend time smashing my head against the wall with those bosses for negligible rewards.

    Nice. Not entirely sure how big those changes are, but I've always felt Lahn was a decent grinder (although without much comparison). Pretty excited for the currents to be gone. Going to be able to shit stomp crocs now. Maybe I'll finally get off my ass and get my blue volante cannons. Been...

    And how much was it down last year? You realize the price it's at right now is the same as February 2021? In July of 2019 it was at 8330. That's up 71% in 4 years, or 17.8% a year. The CAGR of the Nasdaq over the last 15 years is 16%. Seems perfectly in line with expectations to me.

    What makes you say that? Trendline added by me and not really a measure of anything. Just an eyeball of "this doesn't look out of whack to me."

    I'd say hiking the nod goes to Kauai too. Although I haven't been to Maui. But Kauai was some of the best hiking I've ever done in my life, and I can't imagine Maui compares. We also did an open air helo ride which they don't do in the US anymore after those people died in New York I think (it...

    It's bizarre too, because even the people that like pvp are always complaining because DP and evasion builds both mean jack shit because everyone gets one or two shot. So "open world pvp" doesn't even exist in the game anymore. It's literally whoever gets the drop first immediately kills the...

    I figured best case scenario would be we may get 5 hours a week of Marni. And that's if they changed it at all. That's pretty crazy.

    This is why the left has won the culture war. "This isn't worth the time" is loser talk. Edit: In fact, there's a perfect example right this very moment with Sound of Freedom. Which isn't even a right/left issue, and yet, the media went on a spree with articles about how it was MAGA conspiracy...

    Uh yeah, that's not from the outside temperature unless it's pushing 200 degrees in Arizona. I don't think plastic or acrylic is going to melt at 115 degrees.

    It's not just the land though, or they'd only tax you on the land value. I get the point you're trying to make though. Also, who's depreciating their personal home? The only time I've ever heard of buildings (capital) being depreciated is businesses.

    Or, property tax is bullshit. Of all the taxes we pay, I think building is sitting there is just about one of the most ridiculous.

    I'm confused, are people really having issues with the performance? Is it only for people running on ultra maybe? The guys I play with have top of the line PCs and haven't said anything. My PC is old as fuck (Ryzen 5 1600, 2070 Super, 16gb RAM) and it runs amazing on medium at a constant 60...

    Use that skull thing in your inventory to force death, and you should end up back at your last checkpoint. Then teleport from there. This is assuming there's no holes to jump in to suicide. If you roll an adventure mode with Yaesh or whatever the fuck it's called, go find the root boss guy and...

    Only thing I don't love is that your power level is determined by your highest weapon. It seems like this time they've kind of gone with a "you can make a single character and do everything on it" style, but if I play without my regular group, I'll overlevel my weapons.

    Did some quick testing and apparently having a sub-class splits your exp. So if you're looking to level something fast, best to unequip the second one.
