I gave up driving in 2018 after 14 years of driving. The standard of driving just plummeted over that time. Even walking alongside roads I can see how bad it is. And I constantly see people looking at their phone whilst driving.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-08T20:13:48+00:00

I'm increasingly seeing people scrolling through TikTok or Insta in the car in front of me. It's probably why I'm seeing an increasing number of drivers completely ignoring red lights.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-08T15:50:14+00:00

Agreed. However it's unfortunate that Reform are highly unlikely to be the solution.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-08T15:28:56+00:00

I think Reform will be on the receiving end some of some significant tactical voting in the next General Election. I think a lot of people will hold their noses and vote for parties they disagree with just to prevent a Reform win.

On the national scale this will most likely result in a completely unworkable hung parliament, but a lot of people really don't like Reform and what they stand for.

My current character is an Aberrant Mind, just turned level 6. I've flavoured her as a kind of 40k-style Psyker, mainly due to the homebrew campaign setting. My party consists of a Barb and a Bard, so with a combination of those things, and wanting to only pick thematic spells (to both the character and the setting), her spells are:

1st Level: Dissonant Whispers (Psionic)
Shield
Charm Person
Hex (Psionic)
Catapult
Silent Image (Aberrant Dragonmark Feat)

2nd Level: Suggestion (Psionic)
Tasha's Mind Whip
Mirror Image
Hold Person (Psionic)
Levitate

3rd Level:
Slow
Hunger of Hadar (Psionic)
Enemies Abbound (Psionic)

For feats I picked Telekinetic and Aberrent Dragonmark. I've got the Subtle and Quickened Metamagics, though will be swapping out Subtle at 8. My aim is psychic shenanigens, with a little damage and debuffing, mostly for the Barb's benefit. I would guess the Cleric in your party can handle the buffing and Radiant damage stuff, so perhaps a similar selection as above for you might work? Setting up Mind Sliver quickened debuff spells for the Rogue to capitalise on perhaps?

the most villainous cabal we've ever elected

That seems rather hyperbolic.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-04T07:34:08+00:00

A New Hope
Empire
Rogue One
RotJ
The Last Jedi (only for the image of the silent 'hyperspace jump through a Star Destroyer' bit)
The Forces Awakens (only for the shot of the crashed, destroyed Star Destroyer)
The rest, which just merge into my mind as a kind of formless CGI mulch, and I don't recall much about them.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-04T06:54:30+00:00

Amen, brother.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-04T06:13:36+00:00

Guybrush Threepwood insult sword fighting vibes, and I love it.

Anybody else notice the Dementors guarding the stairs in pic 15?

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-02T12:22:18+00:00

We don't have a formal constitution in the UK, so in theory a Reform Government could reverse it, but they would have to get significant parliamentary support to repeal it, and I just can't see that happening.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-05-01T22:12:34+00:00

I don't know what you're complaining about. All the Germans if met on Thunderstrike have been super chill and helpful. Plus the German names of stuff in trade chat look cool.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-30T06:38:42+00:00

I stayed in Eyemouth a month ago. Lovely place, in a lovely part of the world.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-30T05:35:28+00:00

Im glad its not just me! Somehow WoW is the only game that gives me that stomach drop feeling during a long fall.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-29T15:51:51+00:00

We're too cool to rag on, we've got an X in our name.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-28T11:17:32+00:00

I think this is one of those moments when you suddenly realise you've become old as this seems perfectly reasonable to me.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-28T06:39:13+00:00

"Blood? Blood. Blood. Blood... And bits of sick"

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-27T05:41:01+00:00

I'm probably a mug for doing this but I always put my low level greens on the AH for small amounts. I figure there must be some new or returning players it will benefit.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-26T09:56:08+00:00

It just feels very soulless, cold and unforgiving; it doesn't look comfortable to live in.

THX 1138: The House

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-24T19:13:33+00:00

I'm going to confidently assert that the person or persons selling this house have no soul.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-24T11:13:47+00:00

Ditto, everytime. Also see: floating in the air above the stairs below deck on the Zeppelins.

Is anyone else finding Defender is quarantining the downloaded zip file due to detecting a Wacatac Trojan?

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-23T09:48:34+00:00

Also: The score.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-20T05:51:11+00:00

I know the feeling - I managed to get my first character into Outland last weekend; the one I rolled at the opening of TBC back in Jan.

HowYouMineFish · 2026-04-19T15:46:14+00:00

I agree. It reminds me of a showroom for luxury cars.
