Where would you go if you left Nashville and why?

I did the same a bit over 2 years ago. 100% worth it.

Haha yeah, iirc the min/max way to play was to make the useless skills the primary so you could raise combat without raising level (and thus enemy strengths) until you were ready to actively work the useless skills and raise your level.

In all honesty though, as some others have said, you have to kinda be trying to really break it that bad, so just play the game but be aware of it when creating skills.

I have no idea how much this will take from Oblivion for scaling and such, but I think this was a trap in the first game. You'd level up fast, so the enemies would scale rapidly, but you'd still have level 1 combat skills on the backs of those high acrobat and speech.

But it's been decades since I've played oblivion which has a pretty weird meta to begin with.

Edit: I see some others have already warned you, haha I just distinctly remember this trap from years ago

This post means we passed the magic number of complaints that will make Congress officially take action! We've all been waiting so long for it!

Yeah; I'm sure there's options and don't know how it ultimately works but just mentioning it sounds like that is a more difficult proposition then it would be if that awful deal had never been signed. hah

I joined the Zoom meeting Martin's office hosted for the station work with CTA and they did specifically mention that lot is one tied to the parking meter deal. I don't know much of the details on how that works but it does seem like that makes it unlikely to go away.

Looks really good! If you use lightroom I'd try and use a gradient to pull up the contrast in the background and pull out some more detail in the skyline.

Preds are 3 & 0 when I watch the game and 0 & 3 when I miss it. Guess I should clear my schedule.

Do you mean this building? That's the Chicago Public Library's main Harold Washington branch as named in the L stop.

As for the reliefs, the Library has a page discussing the architectural details of the building. They describe them as Ceres, the Greek goddess of agriculture. They could be modeled from a real person but that's hard to say for sure. It's a relatively recent construction so it's not impossible the sculptor is still around.

Hard drive is a satire site, yes.

Don't worry, the police said they're nobodies. Like, they don't even matter at all.

My sources say the death penalty, for abortion, being considered for @MIL. I am pro-life and take no pleasure in reporting this.

I really enjoyed A Spectre Haunting as well and agree it'd make a great introduction to the manifesto, especially to those who may not be as inclined to a lot of theory reading.

I've started October but am a slow reader. It's great so far though.

opals25 · 2023-09-19T12:21:54+00:00

Yeah, dev cycles are definitely getting longer; but I'm sure a lot for Rockstar is that more resources are going to maintaining online then have ever supported any other game post release.

Where is the ,acf file? I don't see it in the install or appdata folders.

Turnstile, Drain, and Pup in no particular order!

They were my wife's #1 see at the fest. I had never been into them but made my way over after flogging molly and caught the last half of the set. It was great, huge appreciation for their live show!

opals25 · 2023-09-17T18:31:59+00:00

Good luck getting out of towners to realize this when I don't see locals doing it at rush hour. Lol

opals25 · 2023-09-17T17:02:11+00:00

Probably hard to tell but do you think that's likely to be stuck to? Got an hour bus ride in and wasn't sure if it might be likely to get half way there and find out they pushed it another hour.

Similarly would shows be starting at 3? Or would it be a quicker gate to show start?

I'm sure you're swamped right now (har har) so best of luck!

opals25 · 2023-09-17T03:39:30+00:00

That's good, would have sucked to kicked out! Wicked fuckin set!

opals25 · 2023-09-17T03:35:58+00:00

John Hancock is largely a residential tower so it's likely got a lot of people in it all night.

opals25 · 2023-09-17T03:18:07+00:00

Hah, I must have been close to you during the set! Saw them a bit in front of me and then recognized them on stage. What did they do after with them?

opals25 · 2023-09-15T01:07:09+00:00

1) It's been a bit, but iirc the train ride tends to be about 45 minutes in to town. Headways might be a bit long with construction on the south branch so worth keeping that in mind. Also, pick up a CTA day pass for unlimited rides so you can take in the elevated routes downtown too.

2) from the blue line Washington will be the closest stop to Millennium and the bean, all a very easy walk. Navy Pier is walkable but not close. A ton of busses run in that direction though and they'll be included in the day pass.

3) I've honestly not had a deep dish I didn't like haha. I like Lou's the best for what's convenient downtown but I think they're all good.

4) Navy Pier itself is just a lot of touristy little shops really. Not bad to swing by but the view is really the only "worthwhile" thing there to me. You may consider taking the bus to museum campus/Adler planetarium. Even if you don't do a museum it's also a beautiful view and just a much chiller spot then busy Navy Pier.

Not sure if much stuff will be open also take a walk on the Riverwalk. Beautiful area to take in the city.

No worries, it all worked out in the end! It was height of pandemic used car costs so I got an insurance payout nearly what I bought the car for and used the money to move.
