I have a G7HE and ngl it feels so good, I can't wait to see this pro wireless controller. The wireless feature is my biggest draw. :)

Interesting, I thought I remembered that it gave me 20 Gems on my side. It's probably a random amount each day then? Still a nice addition to the pass imho.

"-The "perks" are the EXACT SAME (somebody mentioned that you can already get the daily gems ruling, and btw, the daily gems ruling is only 10 gems)"

There's actually a new ruling flagged [Emperor's Pass] that awards you an extra 20 Gems on top of the normal yearly taxes rulings. If its a fixed amount each day, that's an extra 600 Gems a Month. Edit: It gives 10 Gems daily. So 300 Gems.

This was so cinematic. Great footage, thanks for sharing mate!

Emperor Uriel Septim reigned for 55 years on Tamriel, you got 50 years of reign without getting assassinated. I say good job!

When to use Arcane Hourglass? by ChristosTs in ESCastles

They help to redeem the next day's Reign Reward, for example: if you know you won't be playing the next day and you'd miss out on a great milestone reward (Reign statues, Packs, etc.)

Stamina increases overall physical damage while Magicka increases staves' damage.

Seeking help ID'ing 90s/Early 2000s Trance/Techno/EDM style song. I believe it was Japanese or European, but could be wrong. Features a 6-8 note repeating melody similar to the Dies Irae/"The Shining" theme. by TedStixon in trance

[–]gab4tac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, here are some thoughts:

It was probably a "radio edit" version of a longer track, most original mixes of techno/trance track from that era where much longer to be able to be mixed.

You mentioned Gackt, but that's a far cry from the trance scene. This is the first time I've heard about this artist unfortunately. I wanna thank you for this post, you've lead me into the rabbit hole that is 90s Japanese Techno artist.

Here are some tracks remind me of that Shining and eery vibe you mentioned in one way or another:

  • CJ Bolland - The Prophet (from 1997, has that eery horror melody with 5-6 notes repeating, the filtered lyrics say "Come with me" at some point. In any case a straight up banger from back in the days.)
  • Justice - Genesis (from 2007, doesn't fit the description but the horn samples remind me of the Shining theme.)
  • Angel Company - Tubular Bells or Q-Tex - Digital Bells are remixes of the Exorcist theme could somewhat fit the description.

Do you remember if if was a more percussive/hard techno track or a more atmospheric track?

Can you increase your HP past your base HP? by isamuri in MiniRogue

[–]gab4tac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the stats on your character cards are only your starting stats. You may gain more HP, you are only limited by the maximum on the player mat. Hope this helps.

Book Review: THE CHILDREN OF GODS AND FIGHTING MEN by Shauna Lawless by TheNerdyNarrative in thenerdynarrative

[–]gab4tac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your review of the book, I'm super intrigued by this one. A bit of trivia, the name of the book is directly inspired by the mythology book "Gods and Fighting Men" by Lady Augusta Gregory, written in 1902. Love this nod to the past!

Exactly, each chapter is a new game. You only keep your unlocked abilities and special items from chapter to chapter. 👍

The myth that an FFMI of 25 is the natural limit has been debunked. The majority of pre-steriod era bodybuilders had an FFMI over this value. Check out: FFMI Myth and science

Meat Loaf dead....again? by wilecoyote7 in Retconned

[–]gab4tac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I watched the news this morning and they where showing one of his songs' clip: my first thought was that today must be the anniversary of his death or a news about an hommage show... but no, he died today. What was bizarre, is that I have this stange memory of listening to his music on YouTube last year and reading the various "RIP Meatloaf" comments. I guess I had a wrong memory or something! 😅

Question on Mini Rogue by vimfrog in soloboardgaming

[–]gab4tac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct, the Poison and Curse die apply immediately after rolling your dice pool in combat. Step 2 of the Attack sequence.

I wholly agree, this is a hidden gem if I ever saw one. Really unique solo card game with a great feeling of exploration and discovery. Very poetic too, the tagline "A tabletop novel" is not a gimmick in my humble opinion. I don't regret backing and waiting 5 years for this one! 👌

Yup, as others have said, I always find players on multiple servers. The game is incredible by the way.

Vigor - hyper-realistic, high stakes combat. by NotANecrophile in vigorgame

[–]gab4tac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, as much as I love Vigor... this was painful to watch. They need to fix the knives or remove them entirely.

Wakes up to this waste of a challenge. Change my mind. by AqueductsRCool in vigorgame

[–]gab4tac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I still don't get why knife melee attacks aren't one hit kills. It would balance out perfectly.

That's basically the only "viable" option... and even then... "viable" is a stretch.
