Different angle and aftermath.

Finally got to mid-game on a huge map, on the slowest research setting. Started hitting a crash every 1 to 2 hours, even with the 2 updates, so I'm not sure I will continue. It's still difficult to tell, outside of graphics and UI, what is different from the first game. The fist game, with the...

Sound on:

Oh, opinions on LTE modems, individually. I would also be interested in that, if anyone here has any experience. It could be a backup or stopgap for sitting in the Starlink wait list, now that Elon has sent all production to Ukraine. I wouldn't have thought many people, if any, here are using...

Well, if you are at 10 gigabit already, it may be worth the price. You can get a fiber PCI network card and a fiber switch and be ready for getting anything over 10 Gbit. I would guess that you would eventually need to eliminate all cat 6a+ in the system, which means a router that can take fiber...

Was just about to run a fiber line out to an outbuilding and after looking at the costs, decided wireless microwave point to point was cheaper. I had to price in an outside rated cable and the conduit though. The cheapest I could find for a run (before I realized I needed cable that can get...

No idea on wood "matching" different species, but how many lumber yards did you check prices on (if you have more than 1 or 2 in your area)? This place in DFW (South Ft. Worth), that lists their prices, has economy grade (2 com) white oak in both 4/4 and 8/4 for less than $5 per bf. So, if you...

Those look pretty good and I would take a chance on them if I needed another boonie. A good quality one will last a long time. The Italian ones are going strong after ~10 years, and I still wear my old 20+ year old camo one, regularly. Also, the Italian ones went up in price, so they are kinda...

It took some digging to find a good quality boonie, outside of getting a friend to buy one from the Marine PX (the mil hats are much better quality than the china shit that is found most places). I didn't really want a MARPAT hat though, so I kept looking. Eventually found a quality boonie...

Listening to old Irish songs with modern recording methods makes it sound super serious and a bit strange! Most of the old stuff sounds more fighty/rowdy. That song found a resurgence after English comedian Stephen Coogan (as his character Alan Partridge) sung this on BBC One, in 2019, during...

Ah, my bad. I didn't actually launch the game and look. After doing that, just now, I have 8 and I guess there were no more left to find, in the areas I didn't get to. Using the annoying scrolling through spell slots UI, to select a spell, makes it feeeeeal like you have 14+ spells loaded up...

There are probably more than 20 memory stones, spread out all over the place. I already had 10+ by the time I made it to the big city. Never explored the last 2 or 3 zones after it, nor half of the city, so probably missed a few, here and there.

Yea, shit is a little ridiculous. Last week I was pricing out a fiber run to a remote location, ~140 foot away, and the conduit (1" was smallest recommended) alone was over $200. So might as well do a wireless microwave solution for the same total price (when including the outside rated fiber).

D&D killed almost all interest in ASOIAF for me and I'm not sure if Winds would really change that, or not. As for his new Corlys show, all of the TV shows that Bruno Heller is the main writer/producer on are rated 7.9 or 8.7 on IMDB (The Mentalist, Gotham, Pennyworth, Rome), so I guess that's...

Played for a few hours last night and it feels like they stuck to the same formula as the first game. Although, it has been so long since playing the first, that I'm not sure what all is different. My memory of the old game is also overshadowed by so many hours of playing Stellaris (with mods)...

This game has locked out areas too. I got to the front door of the capitol city and there was a door that said I needed to have two runes to progress. So I went and killed Radahn. Then I ran through the city toward the snow mountain area and there is an actual invisible wall, at the top of the...

Is Big Trouble in Little China really an absurd action movie or does such a masterpiece transcend labels? I loved the Van Damme movies as a kid, but none of them hold up today like Big Trouble, Demolition Man, or even Commando.

For anyone that hasn't seen it, Rebels was good, but here is the dumbest part; the helicopter Inquisitor reference (some spoilers, original sound removed, just to showcase the flying idiocracy):

My GTX 970 is working adequately on this game. Although, the Ryzen 5 5600X and 32 GB RAM may be picking up the slack for the old card.

Carian Regal Scepter is supposed to be the best staff, for raw power when leveled to 10 (I've read). I recently leveled up the crystal staff to 7 and it just surpassed the Meteorite staff (with that upgrade). There are staffs that increase the mana costs for some small benefit, that scale well...

Spoilerish tactics on how to kill him w/o needing to respec:

Also have very little (less than 15 hours) experience with any From Software product. There seems to be OP items for each "class" choice, but they are buried in a plethora of various locations. If you don't seek out info on the internetz, the chance of Random_Boss_2932 dropping something useful...

I was able to play a few games without mods when WH2 came out, but I am having trouble staying motivated without them, in this go around. The factions somehow feel simple in WH3, and I'm not sure if it's because the limited troop selection or the lackluster faction mechanics in the base game...

To Whoo's point with the poly: this is an old video set I had bookmarked about rubbing out a finish, after the layering, to get it perfectly smooth (use more coats, let cure, sand it out): The time I did a table to high gloss (think I used 5+ coats of polyurethane (oil:emoji_nose:, I used Micro Mesh...

That D&D movie was the only movie I walked out of the theater on, mid way through. I have refused to watch anything with Marlon Waynes in it, ever since.

Proof is real easy, and always has been. A piece of paper with "Fires of Heaven" (or FoH), the date, and your user name on it. Since you are showing some blurry steering wheel, you can put the paper right next to it. Until that time, you remain to be the biggest liar on the forum and full of...

If you want quality casters, McMaster-Carr has almost anything you could think of. They charge a premium, but you generally get top shelf stuff. https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-casters/

Dim weight shipping cost on something like that will be a bitch and I would have trust issues with it getting banged up. There is a place in Dallas that will joint, plane, and glue up a hardwood top for you, but no mention on if they will ship. Could send them a message: Hardwood Lumber Company...

It takes too long and I find that part of the game the least interesting, but yeah, with the tactic I was trying to use, I would do better playing the battles out. I wasn't too worried about failing a few games while I got a look at the new mechanics, map, spell schools, and such. So I was going...

Seems excessive, yea, but it may make cavalry/fast units much more important for attacks on these sieges (to move through the kill zone and cap the point). There may be something with "move reinforcements" that is allowing such buildings, right off the start. The Chaos Undivided LL has a...

First game on very hard, with Chaos Undivided, got to turn 30 before some gobo bastards back caped my main city, while I was off securing the final settlement of the providence. With 2 Empire full stacks coming directly for my lands, I went ahead and restarted. Second game on VH is going...

All the What If...?s were episodic (standalone), right? So what are the top episodes or how would yall rank them? That way we can just skip the shit. I thought Loki, Legion, and Daredevil were mediocre, so, mostly wrote off all the TV shows. People were really talking up Hawkeye, so finally...

Yea, just scrolled though a ton of reviews and it took a while to start finding Chinese reviews or accounts. Most of the recent negatives are about performance issues. Haven't played it yet, but I will see how bad it is with my 970, tonight.

Just read, on a different gaming forum, that she was fired/quit after 9 months. Now she is writing fanfic for Critical Role's second season (The Mighty Nein). Edit: from MCA:

Wildfires are still going all around east Texas & Louisiana. The greater DFW area had at least 3 today and it looks like the area north of Houston has/had a few going. NASA fire tracker stat map: NASA-FIRMS A slightly easier to read (when zoomed out) map with the same data...
