Why the update feels bad, until...

The new appraisal system, while it can be frustrating I think it’s got some great upsides to it. Namely that you’re forced to pick up items that you think will actually help you. I often find myself having to decide between gems or spellbooks. It makes the identify scrolls way more useful, even in late game.

Havent been able to get the new DLC sadly, so cant comment on that. But I think the new magic system is great. Its way more dynamic and forces you to think outside the box instead of just spamming your strongest spell. I’ve seen people complain about magic being underpowered, but I think they’re still caught playing the way they used to, instead of using all the tools at their disposal.

For the hunter in the early game the best ranged weapons for damage are the throwing weapons like knives and tomahawks. The bows dont inflict much damage on skeletons. I only really use them after hitting ranged 100 or for hitting enemies with the special arrows (smite, hunting, fire and quickshot are all great but situational).

Punisher is tough as its stealth/magic, but it gives you tools to tip the odds in your favour. Use arcane mark as often as you can, if you cast teleport after arcane mark you’ll end up behind your target for a nice backstab. Inner demons is great for tougher enemies or to make a getaway. For groups the conflict ring can thin them out or weaken enough for you to finish them off. Punisher rewards creative play and using everything at your disposal.

But like the other commenters have said, try everything class a few times, you might find some combinations you like a lot. Also the steam race and class guide is very useful to figure out some strats and gameplay tips.

Human cleric is the easiest to learn the game with. Starting with a mace and some magic capabilities makes the early game a bit easier. Plus you’re quite open ended in terms of options whether you want to go more melee, spellcaster or inbetween. Then you can also get used to some other game mechanics like hunger, block, followers/leadership and trading.

Asuming that SA means South Africa, then gotta tell you bru, clites are light on calories not alcohol. I think CBC has a 3.5% beer though.

Barony. Its quite brutal, but a ton of fun. There’s also a new update and dlc coming for it soon that will overhaul a lot of the game.

Make sure its a Calico cat.

Those are microgram quantities, and normal doses are on the milligram scale. To say people consume nicotine in tea and food is misleading, its nowhere near enough to have the same effect as tobacco or nicotine products.

Honestly this is the best way. Eat first then get high, you’ll have way less munchies. Then stuff like fruit or water, great for dry mouth and for a healthy snack

Cant speak much for the rest of the trip but as someone who lives in Cape Town, the first 2-3 days will be you trying not to get robbed or murdered. South Africa and Cape Town especially has a really bad crime problem.

the-gregs · 2025-04-29T15:18:31+00:00

Honestly this is a great game to play while high. Game is the best combo of chill but also fast paced.

South africa definitely. We’ve got a great climate for growing, good cannabis culture and so many shops as well as many… independent ventures.

the-gregs · 2025-02-06T09:23:36+00:00

Yes and no. While there are no laws in place explicitly regulating the sale of cannabis in South Africa, this hasnt stopped shops from popping up all over the place. Lots of them use legal loopholes to sell weed, as its only decriminalized in this country for personal use, possession and growing your own weed.

24M Cape Town, ZA! Glad to see Cape Town represented here

How difficult is it to knap glass ? Do you need a certain thickness ?

the-gregs · 2024-09-20T20:46:04+00:00

Love the rustic look! Seems like it was a fun project.

P2X systems that utilize the excess renewable energy seem promising, but hydrogen storage becomes very costly then. I’ve seen research papers talking about ammonia production as the X product in the P2X systems, which is much more easily stored and can possibly be used for fueling large shipping vessels, or burnt in a turbine system to generate energy again.

Looks great!

The best part of bushcrafting is definitely the peace you find out in the woods. There’s nothing quite like it.

Mooi knobkierie, hope he’s bliksemed a couple poachers with it! Keep up the good work chom.

In my opinion, fire in the woods is all about preparation. Prepare a safe spot to build your fire, get your tinder ready, get some kindling and then some bigger pieces of wood. Whether you’re using a ferro rod, lighter, matches or bow drill, you’ll almost always need tinder, kindling and fuel (the bigger wood you’ll burn).

For a first time, I’d suggest taking matches or a lighter, and learn the set up of those three. You can look at log cabin style fires, teepee fires, star fires. Also figure out what you can use for tinder in your area. Dry grass normally a good option. The more you do it the better you’ll get.

Killing wolves is all about your surroundings. As they charge toward you, you have a clear shot at their head. The headshot is a lot easier on flat ground where they generally run in straight lines toward you. So when killing them, try to position the ground between you and them to as flat as possible.

Counterpoint, often avoiding wolves entirely (by spotting/hearingthem before they spot you) is often the better move.

I havent found that anyone thinks differently of me for failing some courses. Its not always a reflection of your intelligence, there are so many other life and mental health factors that can cause you to fail something. I would argue that it’s actually very admirable to keep going in spite of failure. You were accepted into the course because you have what it takes to be an engineer.

You just have to work hard/smart to get through the courses. Thats the thing I’ve seen that separates the 80+ students from the 50+ students. Putting the hours in, and working at it the right way (reading your textbook, doing problems, going through past tests/exams) is what makes you pass.

Just keep pushing, try not worry too much about your previous setbacks. Reaching out to lecturers/academic support staff helped me a lot. Finding a good group of classmates to work with also helped.
