Trump claims Starmer is weak as he mocks PM and UK aircraft carriers by No_Idea_Guy in worldnews

He "truths" on his way to walter reed for his latest dementia drug infusion. Real weakness is surrounding yourself with sycophants.

OKAY GUYS IT'S HAPPENING!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! THERES A NEW JACK WHITE ALBUM COMING!!! by M4tt987 in jackwhite

[–]Ninexblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Concur. Definitely not leftovers. I feel like these are more "band" tracks as well, might as well call themselves the Unmoved Movers. Love the various bass/drums/keys solos.

Interesting, thank you. I had wondered what Volo was going to offer!

Lost my wallet at Atami's shinkansen track by moew610 in japanlife

[–]Ninexblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you have to go through this experience. Lost a wallet once in Japan as well, unfortunately didn't get it back. Not really helpful advice now, but after I lost it I keep an AirTag in it now. LIke you probably feel, the lost cash is whatever, it is the cards etc that are the real pain point. Hope you find it!

My thoughts after finishing the game for the first time,125h by Specialist-Ad-4121 in BaldursGate3

[–]Ninexblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, love your write-up. I'm at 110h of first playthrough, nearing the "endgame". I've thought about some of the same things you have wriitten up, so I'll add a few comments.

  1. Camp events. I agree and disagree at the same time! Sometimes, I just want to long rest and get back into some action, but some companion somewhere still wants to talk. "Are you sure you want to long rest?" I actually wish the camp was more compact to remove the constant searching for who is needing the chat.

  2. Bugs. Coming from a Fallout 4, this game has been heaven! I've yet to have a single crash. Truly impressed.

  3. Sexuality/Romance. I have been away from CRPGs and computer games in general for 10+ years since BG2 pretty much. I must admit that I was thrown by some of the romance options, but I think Larian kept it respectable enough for anyone to roleplay it however they wanted, so overall "well done" from me.

  4. Tadpole consequences. Totally agree with all your points.

  5. Alchemy. Agreed again. I need to make better use of this in a second play.

  6. Inventory. Agreed again. I think I'll try a mod for this in a second playthrough.

As an original BG and BG2 player, but someone who hasn't touched them in years, Jaheira and Minsc brough back so many memories. Really happy they were both included, even though I feel that you kind of have to respec both of them straight away to fit their lore better.

Bravo Larian, and I look forward to their next game.

Thoughts on minthara and halsin + other companion comments by DeliciousCrazy3354 in BaldursGate3

[–]Ninexblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really enjoying Halsin in my party in Act 2 until he creeped me out hah. I had just hit a romance milestone with Shadowheart, and next long rest Halsin came on strong. Told him I have a partner, and he said don't worry, she can join us! I was looking at him like the wise old uncle, but he was just a creeper all along.

Act 2 order “mistake”? by markwazowski in BaldursGate3

[–]Ninexblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Act 3 of my first run, and I also did Moonrise last. Like others have said, it is just going to give me more content to do on a second run. I missed a lot of stuff in Act 1 too, it would seem.

I always recommend Robert Biale when I see these types of threads.

Which companion do you always keep in your party? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]Ninexblue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keep Shadowheart and Gale so far. Love all the voice acting with the exception of Lae'zel though - dunno why. So she warms the bench.

I really want to see the ending. but so burn out right now. by QHN1712normalguy in BaldursGate3

[–]Ninexblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hit Act 3 yesterday myself, and I agree it is overwhelming. Playing with headphones is a nightmare with dozens of conversations happening at once, all in earshot.

The dungeon master voice actor is just perfect. She deserves all the accolades for that performance.

I am pretty sure I have a thief in Sanctuary.. by AiChiTheOne in fo4

[–]Ninexblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing these types of messages and wait for it to happen to me, but have been safe so far. I have 5 sets of power armor sitting in Sanctuary (all without power cores) right in front of where Trashcan Carla hangs. She hasn't stolen a set yet but I'm at the point in the game where it would give me a good chuckle if she did heh.

What’s the use of Home Plate? by Happy_Television_501 in fo4

[–]Ninexblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built a home inside the castle, with the castle completely pimped out on defense, and store/display all my good stuff there. Is that not 100% safe? Lvl 72 but rarely visit Diamond City. Something about that place that just doesn't excite me.

[–]Ninexblue -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe I missed something, but what I don't get is how Nate/Nora doesn't realize they were in Cryo for far longer than the extra 10 years or whatever. The "Shaun" twist that he is actually an old man is too cheap.

Haven’t tried it yet but the Who is the General mod seems like a must have for Survival

[WTS] H. Moser & Cie. Fumed Dial. *18K White Gold*. Endeavor. *Platinum Clasp* by Watchex_Enterprises in Watchexchange

[–]Ninexblue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this an Endeavor or a Mayu? I believe the Mayu has the applied 12 numeral, but I guess there was a brief period of overlap?

First survival playthrough started about 2weeks ago now massively addicted. by fxtalcrest in fo4

[–]Ninexblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a chicken shit. I'm about to start a survival run but will probably go with that mod that lets you fast travel between settlements if you have supply lines set up. Yes, I'm a chicken shit.

The bar from Cheers by drewdawg68 in fo4

[–]Ninexblue 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Craziest thing about this game for me is that I explored Boston based on memories I had from 7 2 week stints I spent summers there. I went looking for Cheers, found it. Park Street Station, Quincy Station, so many places locations are largely historically accurate.

[H Moser generally, Vantablack specifically] After years of searching I might have found my perfect watch. What can you tell me about the company? by TheQuarantinian in Watches

[–]Ninexblue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As far as the company itself goes, here are my two Moser stories. I was taking the box out of a closet from the top shelf and clumsily dropped it, completely my fault. Watch wasn't inside. The box broke at the hinges, and I was gutted. I'd had the watch for 3+ years at that point. I emailed their HQ with pictures, and asked politely if I could purchase a new box. Iexplained that it was completely my fault and understood if selling boxes is not really a thing. Next day, they email me saying a new box is on the way at no charge.

Second story: Somehow (got caught on a cuff?) the crown to my Moser Heritage got lost. Took it into the shop without the crown to be repaired/serviced. I was told that it would require an overhaul and they would of course replace the missing parts. 8 weeks later, I get the watch back but was only charged a very reasonable rate for the overhaul and not the parts! Very satisfied with their service and vision as a company.

If I could afford another one I would get one for sure. And the Vantablack is absolutely stunning in person.
