    General cargo ship ARVIN with 15 crew on board reportedly sank at Bartin anchorage, Turkey, Black sea coast, on Jan 17. Two crew reportedly died, SAR was still under way as of 1130 UTC Jan 11. The ship was en route from Poti Georgia to Burgas Bulgaria, and obviously, anchored at Bartin...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    They are on Steam and GoG, and both should run on Win 10. It's been ~5 years since I replayed them (I don't remember the install process), but I think there are fan made patches for both. AFAIK, when Beamdog made the Enhanced Edition for BG 1, they mostly just took all the fan made fixes...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This is probably the best plan. I went back and played the BG1/2/ToB EE Trilogy, over the summer, and the melee classes felt rather bare-bones, after playing Pathfinder (and Pillars too, I guess). The newer games are more complicated, but usually let you tune the difficulty better. Infinity...

    Everyone not saying Raiden is wrong. He was in Big Trouble in Little China, so that makes him the best MK character, by far!

    It's hard to say if you will like the old games, as I don't think Torment: Tides of Numeria or Pillars really capture the classic feel. I liked the Pillars games well enough, but it's like something is missing. The modern game most like the classics is Pathfinder: Kingmaker (which is my favorite...

    The Mandalorian

    I couldn't remember when Ahsoka showed up in Rebels to actually fight, instead of being a background character. So, if you only watched 1.5 seasons of Rebels, and you hadn't watched Clone Wars, she might have been much less important (outside of "Anakin's Padawan" that you read about on the...

    Those in Alpha are technically under NDA, but Id imagine it is mostly in place to stop streamers. This game is also a little weird as they had an open "beta" for a week and a weekend for most anyone that signed up and everyone who preordered. In the beta, weapons had there own XP system, that...

    Here is the small list of compiled grievances put together, on the freefolk reddit, shortly after season 8 (if anyone wants a refresher). I'm trying to forget as much as I can, from season 8, so that someday I might have interest in rewatching the first 4 to 6 season. Take your pick. Reminder...

    Oh, I see. I didn't think the bags had much in them and have ignored them. After getting 1-5 common items (ore/skins/herbs) from the special Cov building (Queen's Conservatory), I figured it was more of the same time wasting bullshit.

    Wait, your getting epics from your table missions? I'm still stuck on 171 useless blues. I have been leveling up followers on three toons, but so far the Mission Table, in general, looks almost completely worthless again, this xpac.

    The Big Short (2015)

    Margin Call was recommended as being very accurate, for how things worked at that time, by a dude I know, that works in that industry. It is not as entertaining as The Big Short, but it servers the same function of showing you just how fucked up these people were/are. It is an indie movie, so...

    As Chris said, it is renown related. New characters will get the standard 3 ways (collect souls, 1000 anima, & weekly Cov quests) to upgrade their renown for the week, but they will also be able to get renown from a plethora of other sources until they are caught up with everyone else...

    To further expand on this, it takes 15 crafts to rank up to the next rank, and they get progressively more expensive at each rank. On my server, leveling up leather to rank 4 would cost (not including the single rank 4 item): Armguards: 952,050 Gauntlets: 1,195,050 Pauldrons: 1,195,050 Treads...

    I also started with skinning, farming all the things people were leaving around while leveling, but that didn't last long. Now, I don't farm shit and have spent ~2 mil just on mats. Callous leather is going for 150g to 200g on my server, and that makes the LW MK2 stupid expensive, compared to...

    The lego base item (tradeskill) leveling system feels bad for the person who likes to make all their own stuff, and avoid the AH as much as possible. I started comparing prices on the AH to see what it would take to get to rank 4, and sell the extras (as to not lose 1.5+ million leveling each...

    Clive and TS were on my server and if you don't know who they are, you probably weren't hardcore enough. /s Fun fact: The server gave Ts the AQ mount, as a thank you for his work on CT tools (and to screw over the GM of the other top 30 guild on the server).

    If there were any top tier DW fury tanks in Vanilla, they had to be pretty rare. I, also, don't remember ever seeing a DW "fury" tank, in progression, in Vanilla.

    I tried tier 8 with my 174 ilevel rogue can couldn't get off the first floor of either tower. The assassin in the first tower was melting my face, and, in the other tower, the end boss of floor 1 killed me before I got it below 40%. The difference between doing tier 7 towers, and tier 8 is 40...

    Good thing your a healer, I guess. As long as you play particular specs, it sounds fine. Mostly. Not standing in void zones makes one better than 50%+ of the player base, alone. How would you quickly set down ground target abilities (like warrior/DH/Rogue leap) or AoE heal, to best cover all...

    That's why Assassination is getting a straight 5% damage aura buff, but there is also a selection bias, dragging the numbers down lower. They didn't get many/any tunning changes in beta, so most/all high end raiders knew it was bottom tier. This led to the top 5% being 257 total parces for Ass...

    These are great tools for not sucking when playing alts. As a alternative (different UI), I use something similar called Hero Rotation. Made by Aeyths, one of the guys that is/was in the SimCraft team (I think). It also take the place of weakaura cooldown tracker for me, as it shows when DPS...

    They took out the RNG on gear, so they had all that extra laying around and needed to put it somewhere. I did layer 6 of both towers as a Blood DK (162) and a Subtlety Rogue (172). The RNG makes or breaks the run at that level (and gear level), but I am fine with higher difficulties being tuned...
