Yeah I agree, this is bullshit. I’m probably in the minority but I take “vote with your wallet” seriously and I’ve just kept my sub going since I started playing in like 2018? Even the months that go by that I don’t play, I feel I’m getting some value by keeping their team cooking.
Meanwhile WoW is getting roasted for its latest grift. I guess that’s stacking value, just not for the players.
When I worked retail, I never asked for phone or address or anything. If they volunteered it, I’d do it, but I never asked. Management talked to me about it several times and I just kept not doing it. I think they kept me on in busy times because I could blast through any line of customers faster than anyone else (I wonder why 🤔)
It’s not a fucking reveal, Kagi tells you exactly what engines they include in their results.
Whole heartedly, FDM is laughably worse at the hobby/consumer level. I sold my Ender 3 because it was just a pain in the ass, intending on never 3D printing again.
A coworker mentioned the Elegoo Mars 4K being so cheap so I gave it a shot. I’ve printed so much with it, and I have literally never had a problem once I dialed in my exposure time with the resin I like. I don’t even fuss with how long the resin has sat idle. Months can go by between prints and I don’t even bother stirring it. It just cranks things out like a magician.
Everyone who can set up adequate ventilation and buy thick rubber gloves: get a resin printer and never look back.
I’ve been here for every hurricane in the last 30+ years and this is the first one I’ve been alerted for tornadoes in my area, and the first time anyone I know has even seen one.
Like I said, I’m not downplaying this shit, but historically when you’re talking about hurricanes that affect the entire state, most people are not hit by the tornadoes.
That’s my feeling too, and for Ian it was beneficial that I stayed because I was able to mitigate a leak that certainly would’ve ruined my house if I hadn’t been there.
We’re always in a mandatory evacuation B zone, but we’re several miles inland and our lot is 18ft above sea level, our street never floods. Place is just built different I guess.
Stay safe, friend!
Realistically, the places that get “flattened” are beach areas or inland areas on tidal waterways like major rivers. The vast majority of after storm damage for folks is roof damage from wind and property damage from airborne debris.
This isn’t to downplay storms at all, but if you’re in a modern house (concrete construction, roof straps, raised lot elevation), not in the direct path of the eye, and not on the beach, your residence will likely be fine. Know your area, assess the risks, and make the choice safest for you.
Flooding is almost always the lethal part of these storms and that’s the purpose of the mandatory evacuations, it’s to prevent people from being trapped and forcing emergency responders to risk their lives needlessly.
I watched Longlegs last week and I’m STILL thinking about it. What a film.
I’ve only read Stormlight so I have no comparison to the other works, but Way Of Kings is like 1/3rd painting scenery of crushing oppression and letting depression breathe. Sanderson is not right to finish ASOIAF, by his own admission, but it’s not for lack of skill.
On god. I bought four god damn copies of it and it still wasn’t enough.
The founder literally started it because he found it difficult to rent out his vacation home. Fuck him and his vacation home.
It literally happens every Olympics and people lose their mind every time. Same with “funny shooting stance” memes.
Are they back in stock? I’ve looked off and on for months and every time they’re back ordered, and I refuse to pay scalper prices.
For real, friends in discord were aghast at this, and I’m thinking “bro I’ve heard you tell your kids to shut the fuck up.”
Redmane Freyja and Sir Ansbach. You bring a letter to Freyja from Ansbach who elaborates some. You also bring a scroll about the ritual to Ansbach who lays it all out quite clear. The dialogue is all on fextralife so you don’t have to replay the entire DLC
In Messmer’s castle, I think most of the NPCs as well as notes you pick up refer to both of the two required vanilla bosses’ corpses being moved or otherwise manipulated. They also talk about a ritual, I believe one NPC even connecting the dots for the player and saying explicitly what the ritual is for and that the corpse is for the ritual. It’s the most coherent and opaque FromSoft lore has ever been.
Whether it’s GOOD that that’s the boss is up for debate, I certainly don’t agree. But it isn’t an arbitrary decision.
He has to be dead to fulfill the role he plays?? Did you even play the DLC? They tell you this over and over.

It’s similarly bad on the west coast of Florida, south of Fort Myers. The massive Estero Bay is just on the edge of a huge population, and mercifully most of the mangroves between land and the water are protected, but all of the water access is privately owned either by hotels or golf club communities. Your average joe has to drive 30 minutes to the next closest boat launch and pay $40 minimum, or has an hour ride down the Estero river out to the bay or the Gulf.
I just don’t understand how they let this happen. I mean, I do.
The constant tutorials can be overwhelming, yeah. Just know, the game is (usually) many layers, and you can still have a blast ignoring the basic tutorials and just turning your brain off and smashing stuff, or you can focus up and hit the lab to really refine how you use a particular weapon or practice strategies against a specific monster, kinda like a fighting game.
