    Vanessa's Tranny AMA Blog Thread

    Can we get a rule/bot that gives Phazael and Vanessa an automatic shaw for 24 hours to 1 week, anytime they quote or mention each other in a post? That shit has reached ridiculous levels for a while now. I know we are still waiting on a script to automatically harrow all of Bubbles posts, but...

    Steam: HERE Genre(s): Simulation, Strategy, Base Building Developer: Rebellion Publisher: Rebellion Release Date: March 30, 2021 It is a base building game (sort of like dungeon keeper) with a strategy world overlay (picking what to steal and how to make money) set in a campy James Bond like...

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I didn't dislike Linzi or Imoen, but both are rather far down the line on the favorite characters list, in their respective games. The problem with Linzi is that I find Bards are worth less than many other characters on the hardest 2 difficulties. They are primarily a buffer/control character...

    The Expanse

    As a non-book reader (show spoiler disclaimer): It looks like the former martians took the last of the Proto-molecule to a new system, along with a guy (Cortázar) who could talk to it (or at least "hear" it). The Proto-molecule turned on shit, just like in season 4. This also turned on, what...

    Total War: Warhammer

    There are tips and tricks guides on steam and Reddit, or even Youtube that can help you out. Depending on where you struggle, you don't have to read the whole thing. A few pages back there was a good guide on how to use square offset battle formations to maximize flanking. If you can flank a...

    Well @Araysar should be happy about this news: Also, since Germany has let in half of Syria, they are now considered a minority.

    Total War: Warhammer

    He is talking about Chaos Undivided with Archon, that was the pre-order race in the first game. If your not a Warhammer Nerd, that's all you know about Chaos. For @Quineloe, as for why it was kind of lacking as a race: The original plan was for it to be a little bonus that they threw...

    Investopedia has some decent run downs of various firms and each review has a section that tells you how that broker makes money. A major way Robinhood makes it's money (which Fidelity does not) is called Payment for Orderflow, which means they route your trade to any market maker that pays...

    Try to set up an Interactive Brokers account. I think they have recently changed a few things to try to be more competitive in the small volume trader market. The Pro account still has a minimum level of activity per month or you get hit with a small fee (unless you have over $100,000 with...

    The Expanse

    I figured this is how they are recasting him. A new character, in name only, for the show, will play his part from the books. Maybe they will pick someone up early next season, or Bobby will be the only Martian representation and they will turn Fred's number 2 (or even Claire "Peaches" Mao)...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    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...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    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.

    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...
