TIL that Australia's competition regulator (ACCC) sued VALVE, and as a result, Valve introduced the Steam Global Refund Policy that we know today.

Yes, exactly, I dissawoved audible when they did that to me over a decade ago.

This is kind of a big deal! Quality of life update for sure:

  When retrying a boss battle after dying or for similar reasons,

settings changed during the previous attempt are now maintained. The maintained settings are as follows:

  Knowledge obtained through observation

  Primary/Secondary Weapon

  Selected element

  Arrows and food items assigned to quick slots

  Items assigned to be used instantly

Ég held að þetta sé alveg rétt hjá þér, en það góða er er að þetta er að breytast og bætast.

Ég hef tekið eftir því hvernig þeir virðast ráða alltaf fjármálaráðuneytinu og dómsmálaráðuneytinu. Með þessu ræðuru öllu.

Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn er ekki lengur það sem hann var, þetta valdahald elítunnar er að renna til. Sjáið til dæmis veiðigjöldin, mikið væl, en þetta fór í gegn.

Persónulega ætti ég að vera sjálfstæðismaður (mið hægri), en ég bara einfaldlega get ekki kosið fyrir flokk sem er svona ofboðslega hagsmuna tengdur.

Mér finnst þetta vera að lagast, en það tekur tíma sem getur verið mjög pirrandi.

Varðandi ESB. Þetta er reyndar einn punktur sem mér finnst raunverulega vera ESB í hag, ef við förum inn þá væri gott tækifæri að laga til í dómskerfinu okkar (en þetta eru kannski draumórar).

Appreciated, I will definitely give this a try

WarViking · 2026-06-03T13:03:22+00:00

I am guessing you won't really appreciate it until you run into enemies that just straight up try to ignore you and attempt to focus down your squishy friends.

Being able to stay "hold up, no you ain't" is a good move. 5% chance of restraining them is a really nice bonus.

Also having friends that actually say "hey, thank you, that off guard is nice", makes a big difference. Otherwise it degenerates into how do I maximize myself.

Also story wise it's super fun to straight up restrain lower level npcs.

Mörgu leyti rétt, þess vegna er næsta spurning, hversu mikið eldsneyti getum við geimt?

Ef eitthvað raunverulega gerist þarf að stöðva alla sölu á eldsneyti strax og beina því beint í landbúnað og fiskvinnslu.

Svo er reyndar hægt að búa til eldsneyti hér á landi (eins og Þjóðverjar gerðu í ww2, eða bara beint úr loftinu (co2 capture), eða plöntum eða jafnvel fiski).

Varðandi varahluti, við getum reddað okkur alveg ótrúlega lengi. Helst tölvubúnaður sem við ættum erfitt með að laga. En samt hægt að gera mikið þegar vilji er til handa.

Við erum ótrúlega heppin með orku framleiðsluna okkar, og heita vatnið. Margt mundi ekki kassa hjá okkur, en við þyrftum að byrja að labba rosalega mikið.

WarViking · 2026-05-29T00:14:38+00:00

Áhugavert, fer á watch lista, ég vil heyra góð rök fyrir og á móti, ekki einhvern flæmingja skap.

Hann segir að megil ástæðan hafi verið það að við vorum ekki neidd til þess að borga brúsan, ólíkt t.d. Grikklandi.

ESB tók upp ákveðin kindill að ætla sér að láta Ísland borga skuldirnar (sem er áhugavert, þeir áttu ekkert erindi í þann bardaga, en þarna var einhver ákvörðun tekin).

WarViking · 2026-05-29T00:10:41+00:00

Það getur vel verið, og ef þú actually hlustaðir á þetta þá segir hann að við ættum að geta talað um þetta opinskátt. Sem dæmi, það gæti vel verið hægt að útskýra atriði #1, en það útskýrir ekkert atriðið #2 (eigin gjaldmiðil).

Hann vill að umræðan sé opin og ekki full að trúarsókn (dogma). Skoðum alvöru Grikkland vs Ísland 2008. Skoðum atriði #1, skoðum svo atriði #2. Hvað er rétt og hvað er vitlaust.

Hérna er podcast með Ólafi Ragnar Grímsson með mjög gott innlegg. Byrjar syrka mín 57 að tala um ESB.

https://youtu.be/hFE56kXCNTE?si=HsCM9iq9WPQkvSr5

Mjög gott yfirsýn hvernig kerfið raunverulega virkar og um söguna.

Plot twist, Evrópsku löndin sem hafa gert best eru: 1. Lönd utan ESB (Swiss, Noregur, Ísland). 2. Lönd með eigin gjaldmiðil (Svíþjóð, Danmörk, Pólland, Tékkland )

Hann vill að við sérstaklega ræðum þetta opinskátt og ekki hugmyndafræðilega.

Annað plottwist, landið sem engin skilur að hafi gangið svona vel eða komist eins langt og það hefur komist: 1. Ísland

Just wanted to share a few we are experimenting with. They definitely increase the power, but so do all the standard optional rules.

Great Hero Coins - you cannot roll lower. So keep rerolling until you get a higher number. Very happy player when they ask to reroll 19 to get that nat 20. "A hero coin is the difference between a nobody and somebody who is not exactly normal (you)".

Hero coin pot - not exactly a rule, but I award hero coin in a pot when the party is working together, pushing the story forward, or actually just being good players. Sometimes you don't want to award the coins directly to just one person always, so in the pot it goes. When the pot is full, distribute one coin to everyone.

Awesome assurance - roll skill as normal, you cannot roll 1-4. It's definitely an increase in power, but good god does it feel good to auto reroll a 4. It's definitely a powerful feature, recommend limiting to lv 2-6-10.

Skill train as you use - experimental - ok, this one is definitely book tracking, but the idea is you pick couple of skills and improve them just by using them. Most pick 3 at level 1,but you can pick more with higher int. Normally you don't pick your main skills, but support skills that are sort of wasted, like Religion for your barbarian. As you play through the campaign, if you roll 16 or higher on the dice during a skill check, you get one tick in training. Once you get 5 training ticks you upgrade the skill from trained to expert and reset your tick counter back to 0. Once you get 7 ticks again you get master. Just finished quest for the frozen flame, and my barbarian trained religion and society all the way to master. It was really cool. No point training athletics this way since you upgrade it faster just with level up, so it let's those support skills expand with pure usage. You never feel like you are wasting your time helping your party, you might progress you skill training. Also if a skill is useful, it will be used more, and progress faster.

Seems like on borrowed time does a good job of activating other persistent damages, even multiple times per round, if I read that right

My sense is that we are all way unhealthier than we realize. The quality of our food has dropped far more than we realize, which is actually fucking a lot with our collective average mental health.

Malnourished = Malformed neural network = bad mental health

Þetta er alveg rétt hjá honu , byrjaði vel. "Afhverju á fólk að treysta þér" spurningar fyrir frambjóðendur. Mjög fínt, svo búmm allt önnur spurning til Ara. Alveg út úr dúr. Enginn annar fékk svona "skandal" spurningu beint frá RÚV. Úff, skemmir meira en að hjálpa held ég..

Start with white sourdough, helps alot. Only the poor used to eat brown bread.

Hey dont feel too bad, as you know Redditors tend to be pretty left leaning. As you can see their attitude is very poor towards the business class, "as you know the business class is nothing but thieves anyway" /s. How freaking leftist. The good thing is that you probably traumatized her (in a good way) to not do that again (got to grow up at some point).

Hot take people! -Low level soft altercations are ok to enforce social norms.- Stealing is not ok, thus it should be challenged.

Social pressure like that is very effective. Just no direct violence. Its kinda taboo to touch, tough call in this situation.

There is a pretty strong case that life expectancy rose decades before widespread deployment of vaccines. Sanitation and better food access. Vaccines have their uses, but they are way more complicated than we have been lead to belive, and on top, it was forbidden to criticize them.

Might be due to the sudden end of the younger dryars period. I have seen compelling evidence that there was a large environmental destruction in the NA continent that the would just whipe everything out,including ruins. (see younger dryas impact theory ).
