    Jagged Alliance 3

    You can play it both ways. You need talents to do the night vision sniper way successfully, unless you want to save scum a bunch. The mod that shows hit percent also makes a huge difference. A few things for stealth mode: You start a map in real time, and go into turn base mode once you get...

    He is 59 trying to do the capstone for WT3 to get into WT4. Those 8 minibosses all do that cone AoE that 1 shots low levels. I was playing an almost exact same necro (sever/army instead of spear/storm) at release and getting one shot by that ability at level 58 and 62. You just need to learn...

    Ahsoka

    I didn't think Dawson looked much like Ahsoka either, but she has done fairly well with it. So, I am willing to give Winstead a chance, even if I don't think she is as attractive as a large number of other actresses in Hollywood.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series

    The old Telltale games did the episode thing too, hell they might have been the ones that made it "popular." I think it stemmed from the old company started off as an indi that used early access (maybe? or greenlight?), and just releasing as they finished the content. I didn't realize the new...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Couple years older, but Power Rangers started in 93, so most of the early-ish and mid 90s kids prolly had the same experience. Think I bought every game Westwood put out and Computer Gaming World always left me asking for more game.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series

    Dunno if the book gets more background, but Amos went from Earth almost directly to the Canterbury? So there isn't much to work with, with any of the survivors of the Cant, because none of them were in command positions.

    Kinda neat, from 2006 concert, Phil can get the closest to Layne I have heard. Maynard also did something with them, that same year, but couldn't find a good copy.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    How many other midsized trucks have you driven? Never been in a Tacoma, but of the two trucks I have the most time in, the 2010 Tundra was far superior to a 2017 F150. It could be a tire issue too. The run flats (Goodyear Eagle) that came stock on my Vette got a whole lot of complaints about...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    By the time Power Rangers came out, all I asked for were computer games, instead of "toys." Also, I thought it was dumb, because I would always seem to flip by it in the middle of some fight with stupid looking monsters. It may have also been on at the same time as something else I wanted to...

    Barbie (2023)

    Too bad. That Ryan Gosling promo gave me hope this was going to be a tongue in cheek parody of a Barbie world. I think Margot is the best looking actress in Hollywood, but it still wont get me to sit through a shitty movie.

    I thought we only got 4 stash tabs because they were going to give a stash tab with every season, but nope, they need people to spend time with inventory management to pump up those engagement numbers!

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Oh, right. Messed up my count when trying to think it out. So in the example of a High Elf Wizard, the difference between the old way and the new way to do racials is that the new way High Elf Wizard will be a better caster from level 4 to the end of 7, and then again at 12. I assume they...

    It's not worse, it's the same or better. INT is the most important stat, so, for the High Elf example, from character creation you can now get +3 (17 int) on all int rolls, which in turn gives a larger bonus to most spells. The PnP (old) way only allow you to get to +2 (16 int) on High Elf...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    So the page you linked has the old stats additions. If you look at high elf, the old way would give them +2 dex +1 int as a racial. Now you get to choose what stat gets +2, and what stat gets +1. Again, the races still get all the other bonuses locked to them. On the BG3 Wiki, High Elves still...

    They may be giving humans and half elves something extra, due to the change, but yea, that list should still be correct for everything but stats (I posted the stat changes at the same time as your post, above).
  25. Burns

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Only the stats got changed to a +2 to a stat, and a +1 to a different stat. Any other race bonus is still in the game, tied to race. Like Dark Elves have darkvision, Dragonkin blow fire, and half-orcs don't die the first time they hit 0hp, for the day.

    It's all part of the larger current discussion, that the BRICS are "talking" about making their own banking system with some form of gold backed currency (whether it be a new currency, or one of the BRICS own's currency). Don't know if Saudi would pull that trigger, but it's certainly a warning...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Not exactly. The US military helps fuel our economy because it is used to support business interests around the world, but that's not the reason the Dollar is the world reserve currency. When Nixon took the US off the gold standard, he made a deal with Saudi to only accept the dollar for oil...

    It's always a bit of a surprise of how many people still think the Dollar is backed by gold or silver due to growing up knowing "Fort Knox is full of gold."

    I am still kinda thinking of playing the season, a little. I stopped playing on eternal because I was bored of my Necro and switching specs back and forth is just dumb atm. I still wanted to try out other classes, but knew if I did that, I would be less likely to pick up the game again, until an...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    With how bad distracted driving is these days, you should probably just cut to the chase and get a lobotomy instead, as it's a much less painful way to get brain damage.

    You can get Mexican Coke all over Texas as any Mexican meat market sells it, and I think a bunch of grocery stores stock it in the "ethnic" isle. I tried it and don't really get that much of a difference, but I don't usually drink calories, so maybe you have to be a regular Coke drinker to be...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    It was seen as an assassination and, up until World War II, assassination was still seen as very a dishonorable way to conduct war. It stemmed from a combination of at least two main rules of conduct that developed in Western society. First was the medieval practice of taking high ranking...

    My assumption is that it's mostly children spending their allowance on silly shit, like children generally do. That highest earner black chick (Pinkydoll) has a decent rack, so she she is probably big with the the teen age and college age boys as well. Then, as Pancreas said, 10,000 kids giving...
