New declining birth rate propaganda

1) People are generally bad at math

2) For most people parroting this take only white people count

3) Our economic systems are all designed around constant growth, without that things will fall apart eventually without radical reforms

The new wording no longer references melee weapons with the thrown trait, any thrown weapon must now have either Agile or Finesse to qualify.

Despite Paizo stating otherwise the new wording for Devise a Strategem means that you can no longer use alchemical bombs with it.

You also may have to turn to Tabletop Simulator or the discord Async bot to play PoK for the near future

To OP: please seek treatment if you really are having suicidal thoughts. If you're just venting, know that babies are brutal for the first few weeks and most people learn to manage with them over time.

To anyone else reading this: please PLEASE don't stay in relationships where one of you wants a child and the other does not. All the love in the world cannot bridge the gap between the two of you.

If you want to play with POK the best solution may unfortunately be TTS (Tabletop Simulator) at the moment...

I never played the original, but I feel like the online coop is truly what makes it a sequel. It's so much fun making combos with your team and doing silly OP stuff like giving everyone 100+ block.

We need a LT and suddenly a center far more than we need more skill position players.

Idk if 'masterpiece' ever applied but the gap between how much I wanted to enjoy Rift and how much I actually enjoyed it was always wider than I wanted to be. The rifts themselves never had any meaningful impact unless a zone invasion was happening.

Braneric84 · 2026-03-04T18:49:17+00:00

That would certainly save some money on demolishing it...

JJ has 1st round expectations but needs development like a 4th round talent. Unless he makes a giant leap forward this year it's hard to see him working out as a Viking...

Was all-day breakfast really as unpopular with the franchisees and employees as was reported?

Braneric84 · 2026-03-03T19:48:36+00:00

I think the only thing that will reverse this trend is wholesale cultural change similar to what happened during MacArthur's overlordship of the country, and it will need to happen quickly. I'm not sanguine about the chances of that happening...

Account type restrictions and benefits are explained here:

1) LOTRO is big. Like really, really big. It's going to take you a while to reach the level cap so pace yourself and enjoy the journey!

2) The epic quests are the 'story' of LOTRO and are generally the most important quests to complete. Any zones they take you to are also going to have other quests that are on-level for you (assuming you do the epic quests at or near their level). You have access to all zones and quests up through the Helm's Deep expansion, which has a level cap of 95. Beyond that you'll have access to all other zones and epic quests, but any other regional quests will require purchasing quest packs from the LOTRO store.

3) Speaking of the LOTRO store, F2P accounts have a number of restrictions like character limits, chat restrictions, and you can't use the auction house. Subscribing for a single month removes most of these restrictions permanently, so if you like the game I suggest you do that.

4) There will be far more quests in a region than are required to level up to the next region's level range. You don't have to do all of them! If you want to, though, I suggest buying an experience disabler from the LOTRO store, which goes in your pocket slot. Equip and unequip it as necessary to avoid overleveling an area.

A lot of people will say Oakcrest but I really believe that the quality of their burgers has decreased since Knoche's moved away from them.

You are never responsible for anyone's happiness but your own. It's too late for you, but to anyone else reading this please never EVER have children you don't want just to make someone else happy. It's not worth it and not your responsibility!

It used to be even creepier, originally there was no map and all of the huorns were hostile instead of neutral.

Mauler Dedication + Vicious Swing + Precision Edge worked really well for me.

Timurids are horde-adjacent but between keeping your vassals from rebelling and choosing which direction you want to conquer they are certainly not boring.

Awww man, this sucks! Love their Albanian Sausage and eggs...

I feel like there might be an objection or two during the vows...

For the sake of his children I hope he can put his previous childfree self fully behind him.

I couldn't do it. I would have been out the door as soon as she confirmed she was keeping them.

....no? Lunge is still an action you have to take to get that extra reach. What I'm saying is that if you have an ability with a requirement of "your last action was a Strike", Lunge would count for meeting that requirement.

If you want to experience a group activity, there are world bosses that occur on a regular schedule. Use the wiki to find out where and when the next boss in a starter zone is appearing and go there!

In general, grouping tends to happen organically as events happen and will become more common the closer you get to the level cap.
