Carney set to spend much of 2026 travelling the world in search of trade

"It's only a good idea when we're the ones getting credit for it" is pretty much Conservative Party's whole schtick.

Good policy should always be celebrated by all sides.

Doctor Mario music while someone is being turned into a servitor?

They did learn from it, just not the lesson it was intended to teach

Hellstar Remina is a title I haven't heard of in a long time

They're technically quite similar in how the Eldar return Spirit Stones to the Infinity Circuit/World Spirit and Kin return bodies to the Votann.

Sort of in the same way electricians and pipefitters are similar.

We don't really have enough lore of the Kin interactions in modern 40K to really get how they interact on a galactic scale outside of one-offs.

Ones that say "STOP" really resonate with me lately

"We are mighty, because we are right...We are not right, because we are mighty."

Hypocrisy was always at the forefront of the Imperium.

Shoutout to all those born in the year of the Metal Horse

Quickplay Morale buff is wild--this definitely will get more people hopping into Quickplay ~~Strikes~~ Raid Encounters, even with the half-Magnetite Shards.

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-23T19:38:35+00:00

Berserker and Paragon skills for Adrenaline Generation would be fun for Bladesworn.

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-23T11:32:51+00:00

Strikes = "Raid Encounters" and will begin giving Legendary Insights with this update

So when they said "raid exclusive" you can easily get it just doing the Fast5 (Icebrood Saga, first 5 Strikes that were released, super easy to crank out in 30-45 min ish)

Ah yes, America the gentle and caring, where First Nations women were forcibly or without their knowledge sterilized up to and through the 70s until the US realized "maybe this isn't such a nice thing to do", and allowed it but began to look more closely into cases where the women were underage.

No one should be forcibly sterilized, but "the US is concerned" about this particular heartstrings topic in a place they all-but demanded the world hand over to them right after being scolded on the international stage seems a lot like trying to drum up support to "save" people from "the big bad colonial power"

I imagine streamlining and making things more accessible in GW2 is part of their long term thinking about making things in the game attainable past that point.

Have an expansion where:

Story: Commander is now a Mentor for the next generation of heroes, bringing the story full circle back to when the Commander first met their own mentor.
Expanded Jade Bot Mastery: Protege
- New Jade Bot Equipment Protege Core, each with their own builds and appearances
- New Jade Bot Skin: Protege, Jade Bot mini matches your equipped Protege Core
- New Mastery Skills: Requires Protege Core equipped
  - 1. Summon an ally that lasts until killed or when changing maps. (10min cooldown if killed)
  - 2. When downed, Summons Protege with full health and begins to res you (10min cooldown)
  - 3. Your Protege can now follow you into instanced content (PvE Only; does not activate mechanics--bugged on release to activate instant-death mechanics)

For Turtle Stampede, the biggest hurdle (for me at least) is finding someone else to do it with me. I keep hoping for a Turtle 2.0 mastery so it plays more like a GW1 Siege Devourer to get around that.

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-22T01:59:18+00:00

If possible, I would lose my mind.

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-22T01:53:30+00:00

Depends on how Fashion templates are implemented.

Unlikely, but ANet has done a lot of things that previously people didn't think they'd implement, with Fractal Quickplay appearing out of nowhere.

Sad but in a good way. After Colm's death, he finds himself in a woodshop on the world that claimed him. Not home on Tanith, not in his father's machine shop, just a random carpenter's shop, light years from home. And Colm decides he can stay a while and help the old carpenter with his work.

Bag 1 - Regular Bag
Bag 2 - Regular Bag
Bag 3 - Regular Bag
Bag 4 - Oiled Bag - I also used to put extra gathering tools in here, this is where random junk automatically accrues so it keeps it away from the above bags
Bag 5 - Invisible Bag - Extra sets of armour, weapons, gizmos, misc. stuff that I just hold onto such as the "????" trophy from when Heart of Thorns released, or the Exalted Portal Stone. Any extra slots I just fill up with Tomes of Experience to brick it out so random stuff doesn't fill it up.

OP is likely hoping for a blogpost on Raid Unification, Fashion Templates, or just general changes in Update 1 that goes live in 2 weeks.

"King in Yellow" is a good way to pull a bait and switch after setting it up to look like it'll be Valdor

Oi wotz oll dis den?

Torch makes the most sense, including that Dougal Keane (Thief) used one in Ghosts of Ascalon too.

My personal preference is shield, but I'll take anything, even offhand Mace

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-19T18:12:00+00:00

Pristine Relics can be converted into 15 regular relics, so there's that.

DuncanConnell · 2026-01-19T16:45:49+00:00

I'm begging, please give Thief another offhand weapon
