    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...

    That only works if you plan on ever giving Blizzard money again. Otherwise you are still out $40, $80, $120, or whatever you end up spending.

    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:

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Let's build some pools!

    Yar, I would be hard pressed to spend the money for an in ground pool (instead of on a whole slew of other projects), but there are, of course, benefits to an in ground pool, and it increases the value of your home, so it's not like you are throwing the money away. It's also much easier to get...

    Tried traps? Do it daily or more and eventually you will make a dent in them.

    I have not found a solution per se, but I know you can search for sub files that you can then load into VCL or Plex on Open Subtitles. When in the middle of a movie, the last thing I want to do is pause and go search subs though, so I either turn on the general subs, rewind a bit, watch, then...

    Also played EQ in first person, mostly. Sometimes the area was too tight to turn a quad kite comfortably, so I would temporarily switch to 3rd for that corner.

    Pest Control

    I will assume you are talking about fire ants, but if they are regular ants (non-invasive types), and they are getting in the house, you can buy those white plastic square ant hotel type traps, then stick them in the back of cabinets and closets. Then don't worry about them outside. Those...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Most people play good as their first play through in DnD/Pathfinder games, and for many of those, that is the only play through they do. Being that 40k is "grimdark," I am sure the Imperium life will lean to lawful evil more than lawful good, if we try to put it on a DnD alignment scale. So (I...

    Not only are they playing it, they are paying an extra $20 to play 4 days earlier and reward yet another shitty business practice.

    If you don't have plants, Bob Villa says to pour bleach down the sink drain. Maybe wait an hour or day and do it again, or just daily for a week; it shouldn't take much to line the drain pipe each time. Maybe you need some of that foaming drain cleaner, if some food is partially stuck in the...

    Finding a body

    Ranger and forester are both Druid adjacent, so close enough! It sounds like it's rather difficult to evade the dogs, if they are called out within a week or two of something happening. So burying ones self was about the only thing I could think of, that would hide the smell for the dogs and...

    Finding a body

    A) Borzak said they had active search parties for the dude that was killed during his time as a park ranger/employee and they never found him, so things can be missed. B) I don't know the terrain of the park. If there are hills, cliffs, and slopes that are not easily accessible or areas that...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I would be fine driving the Pepto Porsche if someone were to give it to me (on the stipulation I couldn't sell it) but I wouldn't pay full price for it. It looks better than I would think a pink Porsche would look, though.

    Finding a body

    Yarp. Borzak said it's pretty easy to walk past something in the thick bush, so if the dogs can't smell the body, I'm not sure how close someone would need to be to notice signs of digging. I've been hiking/hunting in a few various biomes, but I cant say I was ever actively looking for...

    From what was previewed in that Mort video, yes. There is an influence mechanic that is broken down into Imperium (For the Emperor!), Heretic (Blood for the Blood God! Skulls...), and Benevolent (sounds like goody-little-two-shoes). They are currently tied to, at a minimum, what...

    Finding a body

    Wonder how difficult it would be to bury yourself in a hole well enough that the dogs couldn't find you. Best I could think of is a horizontal tunnel into the side of a hill or embankment then collapse the entrance, once inside.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    No release date yet, but the game officially moved from Alpha to Beta. I was unable to find if this is a traditional beta, meaning feature complete, where they finish art, squash bugs, and polish it up, or if they are still adding things. They have a Alpha/Beta buy in, that now includes the...

    Look up the gnat life cycle. They eat decaying plant matter and fungus; they need soggy soil for their larval stage. They usually make a home in houseplants that need/hold a lot of water, or houseplants that are overwatered and/or with poor drainage. You can make "natural" traps with some...

    Home buying thread

    I rented a Townhome for a year, there was 4 to 6 foot between the houses at some spots, but never heard the neighbors at all. Of course it was a quiet area, and no one was having parties with loud music, so that would probably make a difference. Do they call the buildings that share walls...

    System Shock Remake + 3?!?!?

    I may or may not have figured out how to open and close boxes to make them look unopened, then returned some games after playing them, but that was when I was a bit older. I have all those 94 games laying around in a box somewhere too.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    They make Bluetooth control knobs that you might be able to mount somewhere convenient. Does the Golf not have good steering wheel controls? I don't usually order from Ali, but this was one of the first things to come up (I have something similar, but hardwired to my deck)...

    System Shock Remake + 3?!?!?

    Shit, I probably have 20 of those disks on a CD ream, sitting in a box somewhere in the attic. Hard to believe anyone would buy them. I also missed the boat on the System Shock games. Even though I had a computer when it was released, I could only get a few games a year as a kid, and 1994 was...
