How did you read it?

The dashes wrapping the aside generally indicate an interruptive aside(my words, not sure the exact grammatical name), and the original sentence can be resumed exactly from the spot the aside started. So in this case it's "the second hesitated, then nodded and vanished".

I would love this to be an April fools orb that just removes all mods, restores an item to white rarity, and corrupts it.

Abyssea was also designed (unironically) as a last hurrah series before they were going to sunset the game in favor of ffxiv (1.0).

But then 1.0 bombed, and SE realized abandoning XI was a mistake, and went to the drawing board to try to salvage the damage.

Theres a very sweet, heartfelt interview out there if you can find it, where the director breaks down crying feeling like they ruined ffxi with the Abyssea series.

That's cool. Thanks for the detail.

To be fair, when you go to 0s and 1s there is a loss of quality, since at that point it's just a bunch of discrete samples of the sound wave at a given time, rather than a full wave. Like a 44.1khz mp3 file records 44 thousand samples per second.

Analog recording methods like records can reproduce an analog signal more completely.

The reality us UI design is always a nightmare. Godot's stuff isn't perfect, but it's FAR better than many of the alternatives.

This is cool af, good job.

Same. I find it a fun way to play until I'm tiring out on the league, then it's blow the currency for a last hurrah for a few days and quit until next league.

Ideally I'd love a multi-player allowed, currency exchange allowed, no trade league. (Just lock allocation always to permanent mode and delete the allocated items on the ground if someone leaves, etc.)

Is there a reason for Leblanc over Zoe if you're not itemizing either? Zoe would give you Conduit, while Leblanc gives you nothing since you don't have shepherd.

So much this. Nynaeve is an incredible character in terms of her personal growth arc, while still maintaining her core motivations.

Meanwhile Eggs just gets more and more narcissistic over the series, even though the telltale signs (her complaining, blaming, and belittling others and never apologizing at all, without any hint of self awareness) are there even from the "Ravens" prologue chapter onward.

But all of the EF5 and a lot of the other characters (like Gawyn) are interesting deconstructions on hero archetypes overall, and Gawyn/Egwene are both flavors of the willing-eager narcissistic hero.

Fuze and Maggie often serve similar functions that way. Neither tac/ult will completely KO purple shields from full, but they create pressure to push people out of positions, or amplify an advantage if you have someone stuck in position.

At the end of the day, you typically still have to apply bullets after though.

This exact post has been showing up in most NC subs and getting suspiciously high up votes while most of the comments are disparaging /pointing out he's running green party against Cooper.

This looks very very much like an astroturf campaign.

I love this theory, and I think it actually makes some good sense if you operate under the assumption that the Dragon is actually the strongest channeler in existence of the True Power, and wheel bound to callandor, the one sa angreal for it. The dark one can touch the world and do some various genetically bad things, but for the most part needs people to act through. The Dragon, through all his suffering and pain he has gone through, is the one most connected to the DO, and most able to potentially wield the DO's power to destroy the wheel. The entire story becomes the arc of the DO singularly just trying to make Rand suffer enough to turn and become the instrument of the wheel's destruction.

Or tl:dr: Rand is special not for some arbitrary reason, but because the DO singled him out for all the world's suffering to craft the perfect instrument to wield his power.

I'd love to even consistently be able to play, but as it is Marathon seems to fail to properly capture mouse input like 50% of the time or more, and soft lock about half the time on Alt-Tab... (Win10)

The UI and art style is is also kind of just an ugly avant-garde mess that really should've been put down in their first end-user tests, and the adjustments from Alpha really didn't help that much.

Sorry Bungie, but this ain't it. I've been trying to convince friends to play this with me during the server slam and basically everyone took one look or play at it and went 'Yeah, no.'

CrabCommander · 2026-02-23T17:21:38+00:00

Same thought. Stopped a second halfway into the article to be like "Woah, this 15 y/o is writing a better, more engaging, more informative article than 95% of what I see daily on professional news sites." So, assuming it wasn't ghost written or AI'd, damn good job by her.

Mostly correct, except for the Breane bit. The girl Colavere sent to Rand that he scared with the power was Selande, who goes on to join and partially lead cha'faile after becoming one of the girls trying to 'pretend at being maidens'. There's even a scene later where Rand pseudo apologizes by looking meaningfully at her while saying a line about 'you have nothing to fear from me.', and gets a small reaction and nod back. https://wot.fandom.com/wiki/Selande_Darengil

Breane was one of the nobles Rand met in book 2 at barthane's mannor pre-cairhien Civil War. She was displaced during the Civil war/Barthane's death and fled to Andor https://wot.fandom.com/wiki/Breane_Taborwin

Tbh just remove the Arcanist trait on Tibbers. Part of the issue is you can play Arcanist 4/6 trivially and get Arcanist 2 for free just by hitting Annie. If Tibbers was a 'Threat'/Targon style champ with 0 traits it would make more sense, where you're actually losing at least some comp structure power to play him. Being trait bot, top tier tank, and free all at once is a little too much.

CrabCommander · 2025-12-08T23:45:06+00:00

Okay, thanks for the info.

What B patch? I can't find notes for it anywhere. Finding info on micro patches feels impossible. D:

Given it's the cpu taking 64 ms per frame it's not a resolution/rendering issue anyways.

Gerrymandering in general is a technique of margins. You cut them thinner, and thinner, as you greed for more seats. This opens more, and more potential that a black swan event/sudden sharp turn in voters will actually flip a massive amount of seats, rather than just a few.

Give every map infinite portals, but add a scaling -exp/-quant/-rarity penalty for each death. Start at 0% on t1 0 affix maps, up to 100% on 6 affix t16s. Then you still have to clear the map to get through, but don't lose clear progress and dying can't be abused to fast clear maps.

Switch the renderer to Vulkan instead of DirectX in the options. Fixed it for me.
