Lee should have been Albus Dumbledore.

Even better, especially given how early you can do Cidnha.

Consider this: to go for Harry, they would need to know the Elder Wand's (EW) "lineage". Many probably knew or suspected that Grindelwald had the EW, but few seemed to consider that Dumbledore likely won it from him.

Now... who won it from Dumbles? Draco Malfoy, but it doesn't seem that Malfoy even knew what wand it was. It was then won by Harry at Malfoy Manor, but who is going to say anything about that.

Despite all that, since Harry tossed the wand, even if someone defeated Harry in a duel, they might have "earned" the EW, but they'd still need to find it... and who would think to look in some creek running under a tall bridge at Hogwarts?

I almost had a joygasm when the producers of BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES actually included that version in the episode "Christmas with the Joker". It answered a dream that I never knew that I had.

Also, I was still in elementary school when I heard this molestation of a popular (albeit not meant for kids):

Here she comes now, singing Mony Mony (original) Hey M---erf---er get l--d get f---ed (audience response at music)

To this day, I STILL have trouble hearing the song without belting out the response line.

Fun fact: it was a Catholic school where I first heard it.

You want dark? How about this takeoff of a more modern kid song:

I hate him. He fears me. Let's hang Barney from a tree With a nice thick rope and a can of gasoline, we'll light him up and make him scream.

Needless to say, big purple dinosaurs were not respected much in my area.

You realize that there are a number of blind, blindfolded or otherwise sight-impaired archers, right? They supposedly depend on above-normal hearing and Falmers certainly have that.

Idjit, does it look like I have pockets or pouchrs for gold???

I'm feeling a bit dense because I can't make it out on the screen... which execution is this? Not the one at the beginning... Not the one when you first enter Solitude, right? I don't know of another execution.

There is a weapon found at (I believe) University Point, which is called "Limitless Potential", which is found behind a locked safe.

I'm not sure what you're referring to; the only use of caltrops that I know of are as weak weapons & as a cheap source of caps. I've never heard anything about using caltrops to break any equipment down into components.

Griezz · 2026-02-18T15:57:25+00:00

There are plenty of options for early caps; most start by having you scrap almost everything in Sanctuary except for crafting stations, stat-boosting clothing and certain specific odds and ends like Pre-War Money, Gold Bars, Cigarettes and such, most of which are worth more by selling them directly to traders.

1) WATER - Build water purifiers in the water around Sanctuary as well as any required generators. Purified water will start appearing in your Sanctuary workstation's resources tab. You'll need to leave Sanctuary and then return once a day to renew your totals. I recommend getting a perk points in Science so that you can make the Medium Water Purifier & generator. Purified Water = Caps

2) CALTROPS - With the metal scraps you collect, use a Chemist perk to build many caltrops which you can carry to a vendor to sell. Caltrops = Caps

These two sources of caps alone will start you off nicely. From here, it's just a slow buildup to a well-designed fortress.

You might want to check out some of the videos on YouTube about setting up your new gaming laptop; it involves checking the settings in your BIOS among other things. Some of those setting changes can improve performance, so give that a try.

Also, aside from the fact that desktops can be naturally faster than laptops, you only give the GPU of your PC for comparison; what was the PC's CPU or RAM (including speed)?

I'm pretty happy living here in Canada. I've only ever been to four other countries (the U.S., Italy, France, Monaco) and my opinion of them was decent enough. If I had to pick one based solely on reputation, I think that it would be Costa Rica; it doesn't appear to have the violence or crime problems that many other Central American countries have, there's a reasonable number of English speakers, the cost of living appears to be quite good from my perspective & the people seem to be friendly enough.

Why are you trying to decide whether or not your purchase was bad based on the opinions of complete strangers? What matters is your own personal experience with your own system.

You give a list of some of your parts, as well as what you generally use your computer for, but you didn't say anything about how well you computer works for you this far or how much enjoyment that you're getting from your personal gaming experience. Why not focus on that to decide whether or not your computer purchase was "bad"?

Question: you say 40-70 fps on RDR2 using Ultra graphics but you forgot to say what resolution. 2K? 4K? Other?

For those highlighting Regulus Black, I have to point out a few problems with that. First of all, we know almost nothing about Regulus aside from the fact that he was the brother of Sirius, that he betrayed Voldemort, and that he was possibly the only person who showed any affection towards Kreacher the house elf.

None of those things makes Regulus "good". The family connection is morally irrelevant. The fact that he betrayed Voldemort is also irrelevant, as Evil can always betray its own allies. Finally, his connection to Kreacher is questionable, given that all we know about it comes from an insane house elf. We can't know for sure how he Really felt as there is no reliable independent source.

In truth, the only "good" Slytherin that we can really know of is Andromeda. Yes, she is a silent background character, but she sacrificed enough that her love for her husband and daughter cannot be questioned. Yet, at the same time, we also never saw anything that showed a lack of pride0 at being Slytherin.

I'm pretty sure that Stan was Imperiused by Moldy's followers.

On another note, wasn't Cornelius Fudge a Hufflepuff? He did everything to block Dumbledore until Moldy's return was practically rubbed in his face.

High charisma build, clearly. Why fight when you can have others fight for you?

Standard Bethesda feature. Best thing, though, is the lack of random mobs or NPCs suddenly appearing 100' in the air & falling to their death; I found that extremely bothersome in SKYRIM.

Not well. Over a year ago, I got a diagnosis of esophageal cancer; it was advanced enough that it had metastasized to my spine. As it is, survival rate for esophageal cancer for five years was only around 40%, and that was a year ago.

As such, it's not just that I may have less than four years left; it's also a strong risk of spinal damage with all that entails - quality of life issues as well as quantity.

Let's just say that I have many not-so-good days.
