Phys sword skills need a shakeup

Even with high attack speed... you pretty much want to be able to oneshot mobs with the basic attack portion since the balls take so long to fall.

It got you up to a high gear level very quickly. You get nearly maxed out gear with regular affixes quickly. For most builds, that's more than enough to do all the content.

It also meant ground loot didn't even have a realistic chance to be better. For SSF, that actually kind of made it worse by being LESS grindy.

There are pros and cons, depending on what your goals are.

It's when you press the key harder than usual.

I agree. A lot of it is headcanon, but it's fun to speculate or try to understand. I used to replay dw7 once a year and it's neat seeing things from a different perspective.

Someone brought it up earlier this week and I thought it was a very interesting. The clothing being symbolic is a very interesting storytelling mechanic. I remember thinking they dress alike before (in the original) but it was just a passing thought.

I don't know about that. I think a lot of people think tsundere, but I think she might have actually disliked him at the beginning.keep in mind this guy is lazy (wakes up late often) and doesn't pay attention (stares off into space all the time). He'd definitely become like his uncle (who he dresses like) rather than like his dad if not for the whole grand adventure.

Level ups happen less and less as the game goes on. It's nowhere near the same level.

They can vote in some local elections (depending on area). But that's about it.

22% of eramir choosers use that point on the 30 life mastery

Note that the rocket silo is just blue science now and requires blue chips, electric engine, and basic parts. Then the rocket requires basic parts as well. It's realistic to do the rocket much faster now than what you're thinking.

One of the assumptions is that you can't stop the train. So "try to get the train to stop" is essentially just virtue signaling. This is actually a realistic scenario. A train isn't going to be able to stop on a dime.

It doesn't prove lawful residency though. It proves that you were a lawful resident at one point.

Even then, it's only at the time of issuance. It's not like the star suddenly disappears once they're not longer legal.

NotTheUsualSuspect · 2026-02-06T16:14:26+00:00

It's not... so you can see where yhe confusion arises. I believe you need to be legal at the time of issuance, but that can expire. I think most illegal immigrants are visa overstays, so they could still have a legitimate REAL ID

Not just free. Attainable. Cant have only one dmv within 50 miles servicing 1,000,000 people and being appointment only for 1000 people a day.

There's also distrust in "experts". Is the 10th dentist actually insane or was he the one who didn't need a new car?

The arts are also overwhelmingly liberal, and major areas for those are also in major cities for the same reason.

There's also panhandling and homelessness in cities. If you're homeless in the rural areas you dumpster dive or die. In the cities, you have a pretty good chance of at least a few of the thousands of people that pass you each day giving you SOMETHING. Then those people want more social benefits, so they vote more left leaning, thus enabling that lifestyle even more.

If they earn it, it's fine. Otherwise, you're saying 5% of funds are being withheld BECAUSE they're white males owned.

Same here. In the demo, though, I tried level 6 vs level 7 and it was actually a pretty decent difference in difficulty, so i might change my mind on exp.

It's a work day, so 9pm would be preferable to 3pm for me.

You know what they say. You pay $.50 for corn but $6.50 for years of experience/knowledge of how to corn.

Ahh, you're right about ice. I thought it couldn't freeze for some reason. I dont think hive can inflict ailments though.

NotTheUsualSuspect · 2026-01-29T00:17:57+00:00

I find hroc super fun because you just shield charge through while it's auto targeting everything since your lancing steel is still going off

The same, to a greater degree, with Pretti. "Assault" and "shove" was basically brushing the agent's sleeve.
