    The Umbrella Academy

    That's probably the most egregious part of this. She was/is the weakest member of the cast. Her acting was very wooden, and the character was written like shit too. So they're bending everything towards the worst part of the show.

    I don't get why it can't be that the sudden jump up above $100 isn't the reactionary part, and dropping back down is the market being rational? "Oh shit, war with Russia!" and oil prices get a massive shock, and then they realize that eh, this is just more of the same global panic and maybe the...

    Yeah, I'm out. Fuck you Hollywood. They throw a fit about an actor playing a tranny, but then completely rewrite a normal character for the actor's mental disability. Nope, supporting this nonsense.

    I've felt super broke basically forever, mostly because of the people we have that knew what they were doing and capitalized on the early game whales. Currently sitting at about 45k gold. Was talking to some people in a group waiting for Drumbeat Isle today, and gold came up (since it awards...

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    Completely going MFF here, but it's probably because he got inducted into the child raping/killing gang a long time ago, and it fucked him up mentally so bad that now he can't even have normal sex anymore. Every time he's about to nut he sees a kid's face that he killed.

    So I should be hitting 1385 in the next day or two. I think I'm going to switch my main to be a support, and I wanted to know what's a better class between bard and paladin. It sounds like bard is way more prevalent on Korea, but I'm not entirely sure why. Anyone that played other versions can...

    Oh, the original post you made had it sounding like you were wrapping up a lot of rapport. I still don't get how @Voldeth finished up so many, but he's a different animal right now. I should probably go ahead and make my 5th char, as I've been holding out for new classes. But there's just so...

    I'm a bit behind you, but today was one of those days where I basically finished everything before noon and was just like, well, there's nothing I can even do anymore. And considering 2 of my 3 alts are now in pre-1325 T3, I won't even have abyss to run on em all (although I guess I could run...

    The class thing is sort of baffling to me. Like, are we going to get a delay on actual new classes from here on out? I don't understand holding them back at this point if the goal is all regions having the same content.

    I'd argue we've been in recession for the last 2-4 quarters, but the printing presses are obfuscating it.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    I'm amazed this movie still isn't out yet. I can't even remember how many years ago they were filming out at China Lake. Apparently 3 years ago based on my posts. And that was after it was already in works since like 2011. I remember we talked about possibly getting a private screening for the...

    I hadn't actually even thought about it until one of you mentioned it in chat this morning, but I was actually correct in my assessment about gems (I just mostly thought it was weird to have empty slots). They by far give one of the biggest bonuses to damage. It's easily a 12-15% boost per...

    No one uses the main FoH guild chat at all anymore, it all goes to the little chat room thing. Which actually works out well because when I switch to an alt I can still follow the conversation. Bonus is that it just uses the character name I set as main so no one else gets lost.

    I stopped at that level too, and just finished it a couple days ago at ilvl 1374 or so. The towers were kind of fun, but also sort of awful with the design. It's like boss fights that make you play DDR, except they made entire floors with just that. And a sprinkle of RNG. I'm glad to be done...

    I think the Oscars will be dead soon anyway. I noticed when I was watching that it's all the same stars from 30 years ago, just old as shit. There are no new up and comers. RLM talks about this a lot, but the age of the movie star is over.

    It's just pathetic to waltz all the way up there to slap him, too. Like, what the fuck dude?

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    10 drugs found in him. So yeah, definitely OD. My guess is covid was a real bitch for someone who was a former drug addict. Add another to the "lockdowns killed more people than covid ever could."

    He's been in a lot of documentaries lately. Off the top of my head the one about the soundboard at the recording studio in LA, and there's one about drummers.

    It's still fun even with that. Like I've said, I really enjoy the abyss dungeons, I just wish it wasn't once a week. BDO is a whole different beast. Fuck that system. The only thing that made it tolerable was seasons, but that only takes you so far. And I quit whenever they stopped seasons (not...

    Eh, how do you actually actively make gold though? The only thing that seems feasible would be infinite chaos, otherwise you're kind of limited to what the game gives you.

    1370 with 210 fails, which from area chat actually doesn't seem too far from average (on the high side, but at least it wasn't 230). That's with my alts at 1315, 1050, and 880. Now to figure out what I want to concentrate on.

    I mentioned it last week, but people said the KR honing rates increased with the 1415 update. That doesn't mean we will, but if so, it might be smarter to hoard mats. I don't know where Valtan sits in that timeline though. @Voldeth already keeps yelling at me that even 1370 is irrelevant, so I...

    I actually care less about someone who wants to drop that kind of money. He's paying the developers. And I'm likely stopping at 1385 until more content is released. My 2nd alt is almost to t3 and then I've got one more (unless I decide on running 5 or 6 chars). Edit: It's also hilarious how...

    Are you sure? Something happened then because I doubled up on T3 books with an alt.

    The books are also per character. Meaning if you have multiple t3 characters you can buy an absolute shit ton of books.

    I was actually going to ask how the PVP thing works. It says tier 1 to buy stuff, and that's a hard no for me to grind out (at whatever 15 right now). I think that's the only thing remaining I can do besides daily stuff. My comment was (mostly) sarcasm, as I'll hit pity on every piece I think...

    Oddly, my longest clear was on my main with people all 1360 plus. Afterwards I ran it on alts and we broke the tail first thing and steamrolled it.

    Right, but no one is talking about fusion mats going up. Just fish. In fact, we had a discussion in game the other day where everyone convinced me it'd be better to do excavating and buy fusion mats than fish myself.

    It's weird they're upping the amount of Grand Prix coins. I only ran it like twice this week and I still have enough to buy everything for probably the next two weeks.

    That's my guess. While bard is kind of neat in that you can stand still, the other actual classes shred through stuff. Heck, even paladin has 3 massive AOE skills that clear out everything around you in chaos. It still doesn't compare to a real DPS.

    I think you have that backwards. Bards are almost useless for buffing ranged classes. I guess unless you sit far out with the ranged classes, but then all your skills that are melee distance are then useless (namely the biggest builder spell).
