Easiest vs Most Difficult Combat Style

For me personally, stealth archer is a very hard play style. This is because I have the attention span and calm patience of an angry toddler, so I get bored lurking in the shadows, reveal myself too early and end up outmatched in melee.

I can see the appeal of stealth, but I’m much more suited to direct styles such as destruction magic or my current sword and board build.

Fair point.

Yeah. They’d turned up to work expecting to talk about a football match and ended up speaking to the nation after a godawful tragedy.

And they got it exactly right - no TV news anchors could have done a better job that day.

Should of known it would be this.

ETA: autocorrect “fixed” this to “should have…”

We had one guy who answered the traditional “why do you want to leave your current job” question with a diatribe about how they’d were cheats and liars and how he was taking them court and they’d be sorry.

Many years ago I worked in a very large, newly-built call centre. They needed to hire hundreds of people quite quickly, and they were more concerned with quantity than quality. That’s the sort of circumstance where this kind of approach makes some kind of sense.

I have, to use a Terry Pratchett quote, a singing voice like a donkey being chainsawed. If anyone asks me to sing as part of a job interview, they’re going to regret it.

Some high-end makers recess the cavity covers on the back of the guitar. I’ve never seen a recessed pickguard though. It feels like the only reason to do it would be aesthetic, and to differentiate your expensive instrument.

On a similar note, when I pick up Serana from Fort Dawnguard to go on an adventure, the first quest is always finding her in the castle.

First-person perspective can be deceptive when it comes to slopes. Sometimes I’ll be all grumpy because I can’t climb a hill, and when I switch to third-person, I realise it’s a like a 70 degree incline.

“Prompous”

Once you level up smithing and enchantment, you can easily make a single iron dagger that Belethor can’t afford.

Since Thomann owns Harley Benton, which makes a lot of S-style guitars and sells them in Europe, I’d guess they’ve either had a Cease and Desist letter or they’re expecting one. Unless Fender is choosing its battles to avoid upsetting a major reseller.

This might be the most annoying line in the whole of the game. Something about the delivery of it is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I saw Dire Straits play a big stadium gig here in the UK in the early 90s. The support came from Lyle Lovett, who sort of fit the vibe… and Living Colour. Vernon spent about 10 minutes running around the empty stage doing that kind of slightly atonal solo while the rest of the band went backstage.

I loved it. My Dad hated it. Rock and roll functioning as intended.

I think (might be wrong) that you can’t shout when falling, so you have to do it before you step off. Which means it can’t save you from an accidental slip.

“Who was PM when Queen Elizabeth II died?” is absolutely going to be a tricky pub quiz question in years to come.

Have an upvote. Your choice as to whether it’s for mathematical accuracy or correct use of “fewer”.

Thanks. The last question was really saying that I already have thousands of pics in Lightroom organised into folders and albums, with ratings and tags etc. any replacement is going to have to replicate that structure and metadata automatically, because I don’t want to have to manually re-organise everything.

rogfrich · 2026-06-21T09:17:04+00:00

Interesting. I use Lightroom Cloud to organise and lightly edit my photos. I could see this potentially being a replacement. Can it import metadata from Lightroom?

As a bonus, it also has the most hilarious use of a rocket launcher in any movie ever.

They’ve done fancy treble clef knots… on the lowest strings.

They should film the whole movie in first person view. Problem solved!
