    Multi class is also disabled on easy difficulty I think

    So many people miss it as well. Also Aenor’s sister getting sick of Aenor’s crap lol

    I do laugh how in later expansions they sort of make fun of that. Like that one scene where Urianger shows up in his regular clothes and mentions he freezing to death as he shivers lol

    I wonder if that changes if you don't let him use vampire bite in combat.

    I wouldn't be shocked if they draw a lot of inspiration from The Expanse tbh

    I don't think advanced life in the sense of animal or plant analogs is super rare in the universe, but I do agree there definitely is a sliding scale. Assuming our universe is about as old as we think it is, I've seen decent arguments to the effect of the early universe (as we understand it)...

    I mean, they're both the D&D equivalent of crack addicts, so it kind of checks out

    Ya, they moved a bunch of high level monk skills to the lower levels so you don't feel too gimped, especially the melee focused subclass tree. I've been enjoying my monk playthrough so far.

    These games are better on PC anyways because of the mod support

    Played for like 3 hours and only level 2 lol. Rolled a half elf/wood elf monk for my first play through.

    Pretty sure this game is killing twitch. Channels and chat loading are all fucked

    Regarding that 6.45, my guess is Gou’ald and Ori lol

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    On a side tangent but also sort of related to Oppenheimer, the US massively dropped the ball with Qian Xuesen. The communist scare shit in the 50s basically forced him to leave the US after they stripped him of his security clearance and he ended up leading the creation of Chinese ballistic...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If you were just powering a single home, I would agree. Although for something more municipal size, they've been looking for cheaper means of storing excess energy produced by things like solar or wind so they can continue to power the grid when they hit periods of suboptimal or loss of power...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    While the road thing isn't very likely for the US (there are too many roads), one thing that is an active area of research is cheap power storage for things like wind or solar. Basically same concept as Elon Musk's powerwall stuff w/o the lithium based batteries

    You’d be better off searching for large lava tubes than trying to burrow into ancient igneous rock

    Pretty cool - seems like that could be pretty viable for certain applications

    No, of course not. I never said they had parity, I just said they had nukes

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Hilda was from an elf highborn and a human servant. The highborn got the servant pregnant then kicked her out and she later died after giving birth to Hilda. Arenvald was half roe/half Garlean. The game also talks about (but doesn't show) other mixed race people in the game. I think they...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The Soviets had nuclear weapons during the Korean War. Their first nuclear test was in 1949. Korean War was 1950-1953.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Consider what would have happened 1) Korean War is won and communist North is defeated. United Korea. 2) China accelerates its own nuclear program - as victims of first strike, their political views on that are altered to preventing that again, which means they become more aggressive 3)...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    MacArthur just wanted to create a radioactive "wall" to prevent further reinforcements from China/Russia, not push the war farther in terms of actually escalating the conflict and making it a direct war vs. China/Russia on their own soil. If we play "What if?" and go with Truman agrees with...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Yes, let's directly compare dollars in the 1940s to today. Adjusted for inflation, the WW2 Russian Lend-Lease was over 180 BILLION dollars. The US gave them close to half a million vehicles of various types. It isn't even in the same ballpark.

    Then you get a Quin69 situation. Does a skip, runs some raids, declares the game sucks and is shallow.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Lefitsts? LOL. Pretty sure this is a bipartisan view, unless you're automatically lumping the right into fully embracing the Russia post-WW2 propaganda pushes of trying to make themselves the most important element in WW2 in every single theater of war. Was the Eastern European front in WW2...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Nagasaki made the Japanese question their initial presumptions that the US only had 1 bomb. They had no way of knowing that the US could have probably only dropped 1 more in relatively short order after the initial 2, although if needed, the US would have probably been able to get many more on...

    It's considered for 7.0, not finalized, based on that linked article. He's mentioned in other interviews he wasn't totally comfortable with people skipping 10 years worth of stuff at the moment. He's always used the analogy of it being like a TV show - you want to get new viewers, but you're...

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The firebombs destroyed more in the scheme of things, but you have to take into consideration the scale. The firebombing attack in 1945 on Tokyo involved over 300 bombers to do that. Hiroshima and Nagasaki took 1 bomber and 1 bomb each. If you used the same scale as the Tokyo firebomb raid...

    They aren't going to do that until they get pretty far out from EW I presume. Skipping that amount of content really only makes sense if they have a decent amount of content post-6.0

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'm actually glad Starfield has been a bit quiet recently. Cyberpunk 2077 got overhyped and the fanbase basically started to invent gameplay that wasn't realistically going to happen, then got disappointed when those expectations never matched reality.

    If you look at the patch drop dates for 6.5 and 6.55, they are right around the EU and JP fanfests. So I suspect the trailer will start to show certain characters once we know their fates, like Zero or Vitra.

    Gearless PvP works fine In instanced situations or as a niche side function In open world, shadowbane style world conquering, it is far too abusable

    Ashes of Creation

    New World experimented with this and it got a thumbs down by the community. Main reasons: 1) It invalidated the gear treadmill by a significant amount: Why try to gear yourself when you can equip dogshit and still compete? 2) It invalidated time investment: While lower amounts of skills on a...

    EU will get a bit more trailer, then JP will get the final trailer. I also expect the trailer song to change somewhat. That has been pretty typical for Fanfests. EU will probably get the first job reveal and JP will get the 2nd. During the cinematic, you see the WoL's robe covering catch...
