    So I got removed from guild... presumably for being gone for being out of the country for a few weeks. Can I get back to it?

    Pretty much this. There are very logical reasons why binary is used. Best to not think about the show's topics too hard though. As a magical algorithm can't change how compression actually works out mathematically. There is always a limit, and it is generally based on how much the receiving...

    There's a costume guy in most towns. His Icon looks kind of like a tear drop. It allows you to have the appearance of the costume item X while retaining the stats of item Y. I was able to get my spellslinger to 20. Not sure which to play between my stalker and it now. Both are a lot of fun. I...

    Question. If you lose an AMP item you got from a quest... do you lose it forever?

    Just hit 25 and still having a blast as a stalker. I'm out for the next two weeks due to being out of the country. So far, I love most of the questing. Especially the solo instances. Haven't touched any of the dungeons yet... was kind of fearful of it. Some of the fights get quite hard for melee...

    Well there goes a tweak to the House XP/Money buff. Decreased to 5% from 10%. But I suppose that was too good to be true anyway.

    I am having a ton of fun with this. I am really really apprehensive about running any dungeons with a PUG though. I really liked how the game punishes you at early levels with telegraphs that become increasingly complex. Get hit by a telegraph ability and that's probably going to be 3/4 of your...

    So, just out of curiosity who is going to be the gavelmaster here and say whats what when we hit headstart? As far as the final decision for which side we're playing on.

    I can certainly get behind the "integrity" they have for their game design. But it will be a matter of how much they bend to the nervous investor's will at the first quarter after launch. If the difficulty is super hard and the numbers they're looking for aren't being met... Y'all know what...

    Did someone reserve the guild name? Rerolled is taken on their app so I would hope it was someone here.

    I'm inclined to say Dominion... although they are more like Romans + Big Brother. Exiles are more of a ragtag motley crew. Which is more in the spirit of the Horde to me.

    Been trying the Priest Control deck. Plays really slow, but damn if it isn't fun. Alternating between Zoo Lock/Control Priest/Miracle Rogue does really well on the ladder.

    New canopies can cost you like $1650-$2000 alone. I've bought two so far and they were both used. Luckily these things retain value quite well. You can get 75-90% on a resale without much difficulty. As far as folding them for each jump. I trash pack the shit out of it most of the time. Brand...

    Well Skydive Spaceland is now number one on my list of places to go in Texas. I'll have to make a monthly trip there, despite how much I hate Houston. Next up... Port Aransas and Skydive South Texas. Sorry for size, its early and I'm lazy.

    I'll be up to join a guild at launch. I'll be out of the country during most of June, but I'll be hitting it hard when I get back near the end of month. I'm debating playing Stalker Tank or Esper. I have a few competent friends who will play as well.

    Do you live in Moab or Twin Falls? I took the BASE First Jump Course last summer, but I've been a bit slow on acquiring a rig. I aim to have one by October so I can go to Bridge Day in West Virginia.

    I did static line jumps when I was in the Army, but skydiving proper was always something that I wanted to do. The initial license will cost you around $2k. The A-License allows you to jump with other people etc. Once you acquire your own gear you're looking at ~$22 a jump depending on where you...

    That is illegal by USPA standards and I highly doubt anywhere would let you do that short of a private airfield and a friend. Jump 8 or 9 of the Accelerated Freefall course (standard training) will be a solo jump though, nobody but yourself. But even by jump 3 you are not held by an instructor...

    Well Baconknight my good Ser. I bow down to your brew skill. I have a general setup and nothing really fancy. I used a turkey fryer for my brewkettle, and I have a number of glass/plastic carboys and stuff. It basically gives me a reason to throw parties every month to get rid of it. I have an...

    I know it might be a bit of a long shot. But I was curious if there is any sky trash. I jump out of the Austin area at the moment. I'm on my way to becoming a tandem instructor for a side job. Below is some doof-ass picture of me taken moments after landing. But if there are any of you, speak up!

    So I stopped playing Shaman all the time to try the Zoo Lock. I have shit for Warlock cards, but even the midrange zoo deck with what I had laying around got me a 16 game in streak in ranked.

    This show is classic. The main character is god-awful though. I work in software development, having a true computer science kid as a main character is just... so unappealing. Luckily the rest of the show's characters more than make up for it.
