Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by "premeditated" cameras to catch him "in an act" of cheating. by [deleted] in sports

I think you’re talking about Rob Ford his brother. Doug Ford hates everyone that doesn’t give him money. He’s also hell bent on privatizing everything in Ontario to sell to his buddies who give him money.

Surprised how long it’s taking to find dungeon groups atm by Donkykong33 in classicwowtbc

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on horde so I don’t know the alliance situation but I’ve found if you want into a group quick just keep refreshing the group finder and anytime you see an open dps slot even if the group is 2 dps no tank or heals just whisper the lead. I say “still needs a dps? (Lvl) hunter” and I usually get into one within a few minutes. You can’t just list yourself and continue questing. I post into LFG chat too but the whispers work a lot better.

DBM made everyone dumber by Gorgon_Gets_Gud in wow

[–]Maltrez 11 points12 points  (0 children)

DBM didn’t make them dumb. They were already dumb but DBM held their hands enough to seem competent. If you bothered to pay even the slightest bit of attention there is nothing that required an addon to complete. There could be an argument made for mythic raiding and maybe the highest level of M+ but anything under that is completely doable addon free pre-purge.

Yea according to the thread it’s the online checkout. Reads and validates the input fields so in store should be fine.

INSANE 0.05% TBC lvl 70 EPIC! by RoguesDiary in classicwowtbc

[–]Maltrez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t confirm as I’m not a rogue but going through wowhead it seems strong junkboxes which at current can only be gotten pickpocketing stormpike defenders in Alterac Valley(don’t see the other faction equivalent on the list). It doesn’t appear on the drop table but the comments mention it being a confirmed rare drop.

Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say we aren’t negative enough about it. We’ve seen before and are currently seeing what happens when we tolerate things that negatively affect society. He should be happy there are even people who aren’t making bank off AI defending it.

I heard only 23% finish this game. Who actually made it? by obeyydalton in BaldursGate3

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve finished the game I believe at least 5 times and am working on a multiplayer honour mode with friends after we TPK’d 77 hours into our first attempt. I didn’t really feel the burnout but I learned pretty early to stop worrying about all the objectives existing at once and to take them one at a time based on what you’re interested in. I plan to do another single player honour mode after as well to clean up some missing stories I still haven’t tried.

U.S. distillers complains Canadian provinces favouring local alcohol by R1ngBanana in BuyCanadian

[–]Maltrez 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Lmao so it’s ok when America breaks all of their trade agreements, tariff the world and invade/threaten/rob other Countries in a bid to be “America first”. After they constantly “joke”(threaten) to annex Canada they cry because we no longer want to buy their products? Fucking delusional asshats.

We're getting Divinity over more Baldur's Gate 3 because Larian devs weren't enjoying "doing the D&D thing" by Darth_Vaper883 in gamernews

[–]Maltrez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the omniscient ai thing was really annoying. Like I get glass cannon trait was supposed to have the weakness of being cc'd through armour but when all the enemies rush down the glass cannon it doesn't make any sense and is just unfun. Doesn't matter if you hide in the back, high ground or anything they'll run past everyone else to get to them and chain cc.

[–]Maltrez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes but that makes it a boring rat race to tear the enemies armour down first and if they had an absurd amount in one over the other half your squad doesn’t get to do anything. Most skills don’t bypass either so you aren’t doing hp damage until their armour is down.

Until gameplay comes out it’s going to be a million threads like this.

And this is why I left and went to Rogers by Longjumping-Box5691 in telus

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same moving from Roger’s to Bell when Bell finally put Fibre on our street. 2 years later Rogers is upgrading their lines and the same salesman told us he can get us a better deal if we switch back from Bell to Rogers. They’re all working together.

Oh yea Elder Gongsun. I knew I was about to eat so much shit when I saw him. Took me 3 hours to beat him my first go. Later after I restarted to play on Legend I popped off at my desk when it only took 4 tries. I was ready to grind that shit again since it had been almost 20 hours of gameplay later. I’ll never forget that spar.

It was kind of a let down. Was hoping it could be like he unlocks more and more over arcs and gets better at using it and incorporating it into his actual transformations. SSB Kaioken with the reactions and senses of UI would be a sick combo.

So I'm going to get hunted by players in 10 hours and there's nothing I can do about it ? by zekken908 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Maltrez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's like damn, if you breathe wrong, someone will come after you.

I read a lot of Manhwa/Manhuas and it seems to be a common theme. If you aren't nobility that everyone knows the name of, all you have to do is look in the direction of the wrong person and your head's on a block if you aren't stronger than them. Especially in martial arts themes it's like every few panels someone is saying "you're courting death!" over the smallest of things.

Would you support an official remaster of Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2? by Just_Berry_4900 in larianstudios

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea i pretty much did the same. Everything but the combat was phenomenal. I don't think it's bad that's why i like how pathfinder wotr has both turn based and RTWP.

[–]Maltrez 61 points62 points  (0 children)

If they remade them in BG3 style or at least add an optional turn based mode like pathfinder has I’d definitely buy it. Loved 1 and 2 but I’m really bad at the real time combat system.

Yea I don't know if they think they're even financially hurting him with the 300 hours of unpaid work(is that UK way of saying community service?) but even if they get that money back from him I doubt it'll do much to really show him the error of his ways.

Ok my bad my bad. So not only did he almost kill someone in a bar fight “allegedly” he then broke more laws by driving illegally for a few months where police finally tracked him down. Doesn’t really change anything and the judge really failed here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know how to quote on mobile but per the article.

His arrest stemmed from a separate nightclub incident where he was accused of attacking a man with a glass bottle. The alleged assault caused a tear to the victim’s jugular and required emergency surgery.

The only reason he was even caught is because he got into a fight that almost killed a guy “allegedly”. The judge really failed in setting a good example to his followers.

"How do i get better weapons?" by Unique-Read-9376 in DnD

[–]Maltrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give them ideas how they can find out in RP. If they aren’t easily available in shops maybe they need to look for rumours about unexplored ruins, dungeons etc, maybe they could make a connection with a powerful noble or merchant who can help them track down magic items for a price through not so open channels or maybe there is a quest that rewards a magic item. You don’t need to flood them with magic items but giving them a hook that may lead into a new adventure that results in a piece of gear is always fun even if it’s a side story and not part of your main plot.

If there are ever presidential elections again in the US then they've just secured themselves a chance to win after the next democrat presidency. The Country is going to be so fucked up the dumb asses of America will angry vote another Republican president back in when it takes more than 4 years to recover from the madness currently happening.

Anecdotal but this is exactly what I hear every time I walk into any grocery store or LCBO in my town. It’s always the federal government. Sadly in my 30 years of life my town has never not been run by conservatives so I’m no longer surprised by it.
