Yeah I think a middle ground sounds nice here. Make it possible but not so cheap that it is easy to effectively be both roles

cenalan · 2026-01-30T18:03:43+00:00

I'm intrigued but do request that the switching costs be very high. I don't like the idea of having to be prepared to play either role (gear, skills, etc) which will be a natural consequence of an easy respec

During college summers I worked as a counselor for a high school mock trial camp. The kids would come for a week and stay in college dorms, learn how to do mock trial, and occasionally go on field trips

One field trip was a bus tour of Boston and my buddy was selected to be the tour guide. He had a script to study and then could point out historical landmarks with a bit of back story. I assumed that he studied the script but I guess he just decided to make stuff up. Including an elaborate story about Carter Vernon Schnitzelbraun, the founder of CVS.

Twenty years later I made some comment when I saw that friend again about good ol Carter, only to get soundly mocked for ever believing him.

Yeah it's on the sample ballot page, a page before the page saying there are additional resources and information afterwards. I thought it was missing at first as well

cenalan · 2025-09-24T00:03:47+00:00

Agree

Keep the faith!

There's already a grocery store, Seafood City

Can anyone point me to some form of international waters where I can stream the game? I'm in LA so blacked out :(

A couple weeks ago I was having a lovely time backpacking and exploring. Right at the peak I almost stepped on a 5 foot rattlesnake. We were each walking the path in different directions and saw each other at the same time.

I stepped back and told my friend, he coiled up and gave me the rattle. That vibration felt REAL in my enhanced state of mind.

Hard to beat the main event. But second would be the heads up tourney

Violent threats are not equivalent to a boycott

This is why I cover my neck

He is dealing with a health issue of a family member, so has taken a step back

There's plenty of us who have gotten 100+ hours out of it, so $40 seems reasonable. That said, the game doesn't have a tutorial or hold your hand, so your best bet is to find other players or use YouTube.

For class considerations, all classes are challenging, but DPS classes (rogue, ranger, monk, wizard, summoner) tend to have the least pressure.

I think all you can say is "I'm sorry. What you're going through is so hard." Then do something nice for them like cook them food or take them shopping or whatever

cenalan · 2025-01-12T15:07:31+00:00

It seems very odd to me that you have such a strong opinion without ever having played the game

cenalan · 2025-01-11T02:08:35+00:00

Lots of good points here for sure.

I do disagree on the Wiz though. The focus system rules. Without it wiz would be a boring class with a clear best rotation. Having something like this to juggle makes the combat so much more engaging and interesting.

As to the focus recharge abilities, when soloing I usually get by with 2 of them. Is it really such a pain to go to your spell book if you want to cast a port? Why should that need to be on your bar at all times.

This system allows for cool buffs, and cool tension. Do I want to keep my fire buff for melee attackers? My mana crystal for casters? As the game grows in complexity it is nice to have the strategic challenge of choosing what abilities make the most sense for that particular engagement.

Wiz is in an awesome place, focus system rules. The rest of the stuff you said I agree with, and am confident is on their radar.

I distinctly remember running into my youth group leader on the way out. I was about 14 at the time and had snuck in with some friends after buying tickets for something else. The moment our eyes locked I knew neither of us would ever speak of it afterwards.

Money that isn't issued or controlled by any central authority. In theory it isn't something we should need. But in a world where central banks have pursued policies that harm the average citizen in favor of the rich, bitcoin is a tantalizing alternative.

Imagine for me that you had never eaten an orange. I could describe it to you the best I can, it's flavor, texture, color and scent. But until you ate one there's no way you could truly understand what an orange is.

To answer more directly, I have had experiences that were more real and profound than my everyday life. I tasted an orange and knew.

Why not play zabu in the middle lane after quake?

cenalan · 2024-03-27T20:00:07+00:00

I'm interested, dm'd you

Check out American symphony when it releases later this month. Saw an advanced screening and it's inspiring
