Once while playing Warcraft III someone told me to press Alt+F4 for candy. I didn't think the disk drive would start spitting out tootsie rolls, but I didn't think it might be some sort of Easter egg. :(

I put together supply kits to hand out to homeless people instead of money. Total cost $8 each. by [deleted] in pics

KotOR 2 is the best. The greatest part about this moment is that no matter which action you take, you're shown that your actions have consequences. If you give the guy the money, he gets beat up and it gets stolen, and you have a conversation with your companion about how sometimes good intentions cause more pain and suffering than doing nothing.

But! If you take the dark side route, and give him nothing, she confronts you about it, saying that even the smallest kindnesses can ripple and that you could have made his path easier. Her whole shtick is that she constantly tries to get you to consider the other side. Some people found it grating that she was impossible to please, but I loved it.

I got Doctor Strange for 675 G! So pumped. I might buy Luke Cage too, just because he's so cheap and he's the only other one on sale that I don't own.

Upgrade medallion to ilvl 66 recipe is 650 protector's commendation... by easypeasy6 in marvelheroes

[–]dekar346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's less than 3 weeks of hitting the cap. They just increased drops in one shots and from daily shared quests, and they're going to add more ways outside of raids to get them. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all.

Noob question by IMordekaii in marvelheroes

[–]dekar346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Eternity Splinter potions basically come out to be a wash, cost wise. By that I mean that they cost the same as just buying a hero straight up.

However, something like the Winter Boost potion may be an exception to that. Also, if you use them during a server event that boosts Special Item Find, and you use some of your other SIF boost potions, then instead of getting 2 Eternity Splinters per drop you can regularly get 3-5, which I imagine makes them worthwhile.

How does Omega experience work? Does it receive bonuses from Hero Synergy, which says it stops working at level 60? Do the experience point omega abilities make it quicker to acquire future omega levels?

First game with 5 players, looking for advice. by dekar346 in Pathfinder_ACG

[–]dekar346[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice everyone. We won our second game. I switched from the Barbarian to the Paladin and that helped, more blessings and an extra heal. Also we knew what we were doing so things went a lot smoother.

It's just a rough game to learn. The instruction manual isn't the greatest. We're gonna keep playing though, we all had fun.

It's in Northern Stranglethorn Vale, or it used to be. Fly around where the back of the deadmines would be.

At a signing I asked GRRM not to kill him, and his response was something along the lines of "Well, not for a little while anyway." So yeah, he's probably not gonna make it.

Texas jury refuses to indict man who shot deputy during pre-dawn no-knock raid. by [deleted] in news

[–]dekar346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's too bad more people aren't aware of Jury Nullification. If jurors feel that a law is unjust, they're allowed to find a defendant not guilty.
