    Alright, I finished the thing. I put it down for a few days because it was just nonstop unpleasantness. From the gorilla, to the story about the father and the bird, to the turtle it felt like there wasn't any more actual story. For the remainder of the book we'd just be trying to make the...

    That part, in addition to being horrific, does extra work in giving you somewhat of a timetable for the main story. Oh, this shit's going to get really ugly really fast. OK then.

    Finishing up the section involving the ape test subject. Looks to be approaching the halfway point. I found it to be uniquely unpleasant. It just went on and on and on and on. I was sorta ambivalent about the book thus far but now I'm mighty interested in seeing where it goes.

    Rick and Morty

    Don't worry about this season. It'll be great. Season three is going to be the one that sucks after the show acquires a strong political bent and ceases to be a frantic sci-fi adventure.

    Exp pots stack additively with bonus exp weekends. The bonus exp from a pot and a weekend don't multiple together.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    When Q first arrives he accuses humanity of being violent savages. PIcard claims that humanity has moved beyond its violent past and has become enlightened. While Picard would prevail in his first challenge at Farpoint station that trial never truly ends. Q would later introduce the Enterprise...

    A CHALLENGER APPEARS Star Trek: First Contact Overall I do like SFDebris. He's nice and low key.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    First Contact is not without some problems but in relation to all of the Star Trek films it's firmly in the category of "Good." It also has a wonderful little bit of subtlety hidden within it. First Contact is Q finally proving to Picard that he is not quite as advanced as he thinks he is...

    It's related to that property but I'm not sure if it is directly related to that specific film. The IMDB said it takes place ten years after that film but I don't know how accurate that is.

    It does surprise me that there are still things left that can be abused to the point that they get changed. The two fire beetle eye quests had been in the game since forever but it wasn't until Phinny that we saw mainstream factory farming of quest items. I had used the Grobb version since...

    The older version that sounds like a rip from cassette tapes or the newer version by Weber? He just yells too much. I've started The Troop and am maybe three hours in and I'm having a hard time seeing how this is going to go on for another seven. I really like the person doing the reading but...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    The progression servers have been competitive enough to get people to go balls to the wall. Over the years something fringe like charming Allizewsaur becomes standard operating procedure. There's also a financial incentive with the advent of Krono to use the best tactics. Those tactics then...

    Pets will use two handers if they are not high enough level to dual wield. If the damage of the weapon is higher they'll use that damage. Giving a level 1 or level 4 Necro pet a rusty two-handed has been a thing forever.

    The gore effects were good and I was interested enough in the android characters but I just couldn't give a shit about anyone else. So many characters taking insanely huge risks. Let's go check out a brand new planet! Let's fly the colony ship too close to a hurricane so we can maybe rescue some...

    You see, during this time period the troll holocaust had occurred and they were all in Neriak. It was a dark time. If you made a troll berserker it shat you out in Neriak. I hope that felt as nerdy for you to read as it did for me when I saw that explanation on the Daybreak forums. edit -...

    Doing a little more running around and I would describe Everfrost as serviceable. The sea of spawns by the PoK book location are gone but the rest of the zone seems fine. Decent density if you start following the paths out to the south. You can't just stand in one spot and kill infinite bear...

    Druid dots no longer stack but each one now costs more mana and does substantially more damage. I don't know if it is actually an increase in dps but it does have its benefits.

    We don't know exactly the exp of Agnarr but it sounds like it is the same as RF and LJ. Phinny was about half that. It was pretty damned slow. RF and LJ were pretty reasonable.

    I saw the first one back in the theater and will always have a fond memory of some black woman in the back yelling "damn, dat bitch done woke up naked TWICE" at the end of the movie.

    They give the impression that LJ, RF, and Agnarr are identical but at the same time that is language they never use. I expect it to be a little slower because fuck you we're Daybreak.
