    Maybe I'll be getting the Nexus 6P after all. My brand new Note 5 just took a bath in the toilet tonight. I've got it turned off, and in rice. Although I've read that rice actually does nothing. Huge ass phone, and small ass pockets in some pajama pants don't mix. Stood up and it tumbled...

    As a brand new player to the series, I'll attest that magic seems a little too powerful in the beginning. When I switched from my Dex noob to a new Sorcerer, the things I was able to kill so much easier was crazy. I was killing the huge giant in the beginning of forest with ease at a thousand...

    So I'm trying to get my weight down. When I'm in my player info/stats, it says I'm like 47%? I'm holding a lot of armor though that I'm not wearing. Is that a problem? Is there weight limits? I noticed at the Blacksmith, there isn't a sell option. So if I get something I'm not going to use, do I...

    I can see why melee has some advantages over Magic now that I've tried to get into Heide's Tower. Took a few deaths, but I figured out how to beat the sentinel dudes. Not terribly too tough, but I can't get very far, before I run out of magic shots, and then they all respawn if I go back to the...

    Thanks guys! Appreciate the tips. Gonna keep rolling as the mage. I've got the 2nd spell slot but no spell to put there. When does that happen?

    So I switched back to my sorcerer character, and realized I love it. There's a little melee combat involved, at least when fighting stupid hollow in the beginning, and ranged attacks are powerful. Plus, after getting used to the system more, locking onto a target doesn't seem nearly as...

    Thanks! Heard good things about the Mikrotik stuff. Are AC routers worth it? Looking at the ASUS 66u routers and they have the older N router and the newer model that does AC for $32 more. I feel that I might as well roll with the AC when it's not that big of a price difference? Edit: and...

    So what causes a router to fail? My router has started to drop connecting and reset itself, but why would this just start happening. Firmware is up to date. It's a dlink dir-655. Gonna be looking at black Friday deals on a router. Not making the leap to AC, so recommendations on best N...

    I was just hoping there was a target reticule I could turn on or something. The couple hours I played as a sorcerer I found cumbersome to have to lock onto targets to even get a hit. Then again, I'm sure you can find videos of dudes just that good at aiming bows or magic, they never lock onto a...

    Dang, I want an Xbox One... lol Although, I think at this point, and with how slow I go through games, it's best to wait. I can't imagine they'll release a new version at some point that'll have upgraded video memory, etc etc, right?

    Ok, so range issues will go away. Right now, I'm early enough in the game, that I'm just level 11, and have a Bandit Knife, or maybe it was Bandit Dagger. So I understand the range issues, but it's fast, which I liked. Took 11 Dex to wield it, and the rest have gone into ADP to get to that magic...

    I agree with you. I guess my point was that when my upload speeds dropped, so did my ratios. I used to have a ratio over 5, because I was able to upload a ton through just 1 season of game of thrones. Now, time is more important than anything, as I can't hop in when a torrent is fresh and expect...

    Did "well enough" to move onto the next interview phase. That's great, just wish the staffing agency wasn't such a dick about the whole process.

    Have a tech interview in a few minutes for a network engineer job for an ISP.

    Then I don't know what's wrong. Using deluge client and upload is set to unlimited, and I get shit for upload. Could be unpopular torrents I'm currently seeding but as said I still never got very good upload even on super popular things.

    All depends on your connection though. I observed my upload go to shit after my upload went from 30 to less than 10. I'd download a game of thrones episode the second it came up and I'd still not get back to positive ratio on it. Only thing I can think is that it just uses the best...

    Whipped up a huge batch of chili tonight, using joeboo's suggestions. It's still simmering right now, but it looks damn good. Used onion, zuchinni, acorn squash, and corn for the veggies. Pinto and kidney beans. 2 cans of crushed tomato, 1 can of original rotel. No beer, but should be damn good!

    Good tips everyone. I started out sorcerer, and enjoy the ranged killing but I'm not sure I like it more than a melee character. And of course my dick is bigger than noodles so I gotta go deprived.

    So from the start do you usually choose just deprived so you can pick everything yourself? Is that what triggers that? And I'm so noob I didn't even know there were levels because I never saw experience go up as I was fighting things.
