My condolences.

They state that they “had to guess” what bank to send the $5.24M payment to

Which is the most obvious bullshit I’ve heard in quite a while, and that’s saying something, because I’m an American that reads the news. If I did that at my company there would be physical violence over it. There are not words to describe how absolutely and totally ultrafucked any employee of a legitimate company who tried this would be. Since there hasn’t been a murder in the X headquarters all signs point towards they did this on purpose and haven’t paid anyone shit, they’re just claiming to have paid it and when Brazil didn’t have the money they claim to have paid, someone scrambled for an excuse.

For many reasons other than this. At least they’re trying to do something about it. I’d rather be here than Florida or Texas.

Solasta’s campaign feels a little half baked in some ways, especially if you’re coming from Baldur’s Gate, but where it really shines is in building your own campaigns to run your friends through. It’s a perfectly reasonable platform to host online D&D 5e in, especially with mods to expand the content. And there are plenty of user-created workshop campaigns to download, but in general, I wouldn’t recommend it as a single player experience if that’s what you’re looking for. I absolutely do recommend it for group play.

because when it’s a totally absurd accusation people aren’t going to buy it.

👌 would like a word

I don’t know where you’re getting your people from, but around where I’m at, people will believe any and all sorts of absurd bullshit constantly, that’s kind of been one of the major problems surrounding our upcoming election.

In what situation do you need one?

I’ve been using Firefox for over a decade and have literally never once needed to open a different web browser. For anything, ever. This is a very common complaint that tons of people seem to have that I have never seen happen even once out in the wild.

sfx: googling

…Huh, no kidding. I actually somehow completely missed, or else forgot the part where that didn’t actually affect the outcome, supposedly. Fair enough.

However it’s also established fact that Clinton received about 3 million more votes than Trump did. So how did that work out? Not trying to be a wiseass, genuine question, because I still don’t get it.

Only reason I don’t still listen to a bunch of old Kanye is because I’d have to stream it and make him money. The man was a revolutionary musician and being a political idiot can’t take that away from him for me. I’m just not going to give him money anymore and help support his current platform.

Hell yeah, I came in here specifically to post about those videos. Infinite chess gets extremely much more buck wild than you’d initially expect.

I was holding out hope that the modding scene would help support the game, because traditionally speaking Bethesda modders have done some incredibly amazing work on other titles. But no, alas, Starfield is such a fuckin’ trash fire that not even the modders are willing to put in the work to unfuck this heap of shit. Somebody might release a killer overhaul for it after they’ve had a couple more years to basically rewrite the entire engine, but frankly I don’t see anyone caring that much about this game to make it happen. I know of at least one guy who rather than getting involved in the mod scene, instead got on Steam and said fuck you, I’ll make my own fuckin’ Starfield, and started whipping up Spacebourne 2, and even this half-baked early access alpha jank has clear signs of being the seed of a better game than Starfield was. I’m sure that others have had similar ideas.

Sure they did. But the electoral college is usually expected to vote in line with the popular vote, which they didn’t. Faithless electors got Trump into office, not the actual electorate that they are allegedly supposed to represent.

So, no, the American people did not in fact vote Donald Trump to be president. The electoral college did, by outright ignoring the voting results and deciding they knew better than the constituents.

Technically speaking he wasn’t elected to the office the first time. Electoral college decided that, the vote had nothing to do with it.

It’s a plant that grows in the ground, it’ll get about as corporatized as tomatoes. Meaning people will try, but they can’t really stop you from growing legal plants in your garden.

I don’t think you even can play it anymore, can you?

That’s what the difficulty settings are for. No joke. Nearly any trash build can cruise through the easy difficulties with no more than a basic understanding of how turn based combat operates, and you’ll need to be a sweatlord with three spreadsheets open to reliably pose a threat to the hardest difficulty. Personally, I like to play in the middle but still overoptimize my party, so the early game is a challenge and then I just completely steamroll the final third of the game once we really get cooking with mythic levels.

If you already know DnD then you can play pathfinder with minimal confusion. An hour’s worth of reading a couple good build guides will give you a good idea where the differences lie and why certain choices are commonly made (Point-Blank/Precise Shot feats for instance). If you don’t already know DnD and you’re coming from something like Pillars of Eternity or Divinity Original Sin, you might have a little bit of a rough landing. But that’s what a wiki is for, or just straight up following a build guide if you’re timid.

Wrath of the Righteous is hands down a better game than Baldur’s Gate 3 in every observable metric except for graphics and I will gladly die on this hill.

It sounds by all accounts like he went over to Russia and just continued being the exact same man that he was back home. And the Russians of the time loved him.

I aspire to have principles that I stick to with the gusto that Cassius Clay exhibited. I didn’t even know about Clay’s Battalion but I believe it on sight because that sounds like exactly what he would do in that situation.

Somebody got smacked because they were told that this was a safe area to be in. Then they get hit, and are blamed for not being careful enough in the area they were told was safe to be in.

It’s almost like when someone completely guts a project in order to intentionally make it fail, the project is likely to fail.

For comparison, take a look at the Netherlands, who implemented the idea successfully.

Cassius Marcellus Clay was the son of one of the wealthiest slave owners in America and grew up to be the single most influential and most dangerous abolitionist in American history. He had so many duels with slavers, and won so many of them, that he became statistically the most dangerous duelist to ever exist in North America.

When his cousin, Kentucky senator Henry Clay ran for president, Cassius wanted to come campaign for him down South. Henry vetoed this out of concerns that Cassius would come down south and duel so many slave owners to the death that it could be considered election interference.

The Fat Electrician has an excellent video on the life and times of Clay, I highly recommend it. And if you’re wondering, yes, Muhammad Ali was named after this Cassius Clay.
