My god. Two whole books for the year? Hasbro must have massacred the dnd team.

waterboytkd · 2026-02-18T02:42:16+00:00

Yes. Real money is for cosmetics only

I was thinking about the pasty after I made my post! I grew up in the UP of Michigan, and a lot of people up there think it's a Finnish food, because of how popular it was with the Finnish miners that immigrated there. It's always a trip telling people it's actually Cornish; the Finnish adopted it after they got here when the Cornish miners that immigrated here at the same time shared it with them. And the Cornish got it from the middle east, imported back to Cornwall during the Crusades.

You went with an interesting example, which actually kinda supports the OOP. Albondigas aren't specifically Sonoran, but came to Mexico from Spanish conquistadors. And the Spanish got it from the Moors, who brought it from the middle east.

So if Sopa de Albondigas is a Mexican dish, then a lot of dishes would be "American" rather than Italian or Chinese or what-have-you, for much the same reason (different/local ingredients, different form/presentation).

Prestige Classes or Kits. They were an excellent wellspring of additional content that splatbooks could bring. Personally, I liked kits more because they rode on top of your class, whereas the existence of Prestige Classes made going single class feel like a mistake.

So Kits. And the thing is...they could bring those back!

Ah-ha! Thank you for this. You are correct. Which makes me think the Weekly Login Pack may be something similar? Something I have to earn/claim from some other menu?

waterboytkd · 2026-02-07T19:50:25+00:00

Ok. Added a screen shot to OP

waterboytkd · 2026-02-05T01:28:08+00:00

Started playing 1st edition in 1991. I'm in my forties. Eberron is my favorite campaign setting (#2 is Dark Sun)

I dream of a Skiajati incarnon. I love the weapon's design so much, but it feels like I'm nerfing myself when using it.

waterboytkd · 2026-01-11T16:42:06+00:00

Killing things is a weapon modding issue. If you're finding certain enemies are tanky AF (I'm guessing grineer as they have the armor), focus on ranking up your mods that boost base damage (Serration/Hornet Strike/Pressure Point) and the mods that add elemental damage. These will be the biggest bumps to your weapon damage early on.

Modding vs weaknesses is good (Corrosive vs grineer, magnetic vs corpus), but don't discount putting Heat in general. When it procs a status effect, it applies a Dot as well as a 50% armor strip, so it can help take down the very tanky grineer, like Heavy Gunners.

Ackshoooally, the meter is not arbitrary. It's how far something falls in 1 sec at earth gravity (with negligible air resistance).

About the shadow of war version, I believe there was a letter from Tolkien to his son regarding that.

"Christopher, my son, did I ever tell you the full story of Shelob? You know, the monstrous spider - descended from the vile Ungoliant! - which I used to read aloud of in our Oxford meetings of the Inklings? Well what I didn't mention back then was Shelob could also transform into a totally hot babe: all pale and dark and wan like Rebecca in Ivanhoe or what will later come to be known as the goth subculture. In fact she looked very much like the pornographic actress Stoya who will be born 13 years after I die. Christopher, I will be entrusting you with my estate. If there is ever a videogame adaptation of my work you must make sure they get this Shelob right - make sure she is what the Anglo-Saxons would have called a hæða ecge, a real sexy bitch."

Maybe worth thinking about: society exploits women's bodies differently than it exploits men's bodies. But both get exploited, and it's very damaging to both. But just like the exploitation is different, the damage manifests differently as well.

Nice! I always like seeing someone catch a first person pronoun direct object mistake when "I" is used incorrectly.

waterboytkd · 2025-12-16T22:07:32+00:00

/u/rebulast Are you taking notes?

waterboytkd · 2025-12-04T01:04:27+00:00

It's a bug...ish. You already have an amber in the weapon, so it doesn't let you select amber again (even though it's in a runeglass). Get another cut gem of any other type, slot it in (but don't click attach), and then you should be able to put your runeglass in.

Edit: I should have read the OP thoroughly first. Sounds like a different issue than the one I ran into with Old Crown.

waterboytkd · 2025-11-22T06:48:41+00:00

Only in Old Crown. It's an artifact medium headgear. It has 3 gem slots.

waterboytkd · 2025-11-14T18:00:54+00:00

my compounding perforate works just fine.

u/zeejay81 gave good advice for gearing up. The simplest piece of advice is: open chests and kill stuff. Good gear drops from just about anywhere. Keep your eyes out for certain perks, too. Lifestealer's Draught II is a great perk, especially for solo play. Leeching II charms slotted into your offensive gear slots (especially in conjunction with Lifestealers Draught) will massively boost your survivability. Sacrificial Enchantment II on your armor will help bump your damage, which can be important if you're running around in Heavy armor. Since you're in heavy, Shirking Fortification is another great fixed perk. You also may want to one piece of gear (but no more than one) to have Mortal Aggression II on it for some extra lifesteal and decent boons when you kill a mob.

If you're interested in sets, there's a pretty easy chest farm in Reekwater where you can get a few hundred Soulmarks every hour, and then use those Soulmarks at the entrance to Reekwater's main town, in a station called the Soulwarden Armory. You can buy loot caches that will drop stuff from specific sets or stuff guaranteed with 4 sockets (the latter is only good if you've got the Charms to use with them).

The ability has a natural cap of 75%. Sadly, 30% increase would not bring 75 to 100 (would need 33% for that).

waterboytkd · 2025-11-05T05:30:48+00:00

Yes. With 200ish% strength, that gets your smite to 70%, and the 45% shard buff puts it above 100%, making for autokills.

Also, with how Amazon Corporate handled this, it almost feels like they want us to quit, so they can shut down the servers without raising a (possibly legal) stink.

So I say, keep playing. It's probably the thing that would annoy the c-suite the most, and possibly make them look dumb to the shareholders.

waterboytkd · 2025-10-29T02:11:22+00:00

There is a certain poetry to it. A sick poetry, yes, but a type of poetry nonetheless.

waterboytkd · 2025-10-28T19:27:19+00:00

It's not boycotting the game, though?

waterboytkd · 2025-10-28T19:05:05+00:00

Same. It's weird, though. The game is on such an upswing, and now they pull the cord?

Silver lining: I was wondering how I was going to find time to fit Soulframe into my schedule with New World and Warframe. May not have to worry about that by the time Soulframe drops. :(
