Ugh. That’s awesome. Gotta have them now! Mainly because I dont even have (or have heard of) most of those! Interesting that Children of Húrin isn’t in any of these sets. I feel like it was a long enough book alone to not have been incorporated into one of these…

Thank you. I’ve been so tempted to start doing this every time i see this pointless extra line….

AkShUaLlY…. It’s pronounced “Kel-a-born”….but I still applaud your humor!

Most, if not all c’s are pronounced as hard K’s in Elvish (Elven?) languages.

It does get a little weird with places like Cirith Ungol, but there are, allegedly, older maps where it’s spelled Kirith.

I actually read that 2 or 3 times wondering why T and G were circled, wondering what was the issue here….then I finally noticed… maybe whomever the email was sent never even noticed!

Im not sure how the game was with that kind of build at launch, but i did a similar build on my last play-through after the big Phantom Liberty update. It starts out a little rough, you do have to level up to get higher skills that either slow tracking, or completely negate in some ways- so yes, it is kind of a “slog through it”, but arent most RPG builds that way? You have to complete them for them to be really effective?

At any rate, i always finished my hack stacks with a memory wipe if i wasnt sure the stack would kill, ran a deck that made hacks spread repeatedly to nearby enemies, so they kinda kept AOEing each other to death while i watched from the corners. If i started getting traced, i’d either quickly try to figure out who and eliminate before i was caught (if i didnt start with any hackers in the first place- usually the hackers are obvious when you scan them). By late game i could just roll up on a building, scan, dump hacks, wait a few seconds, and walk in to a building full of bodies…pretty OP, lol.

Last resort was always running away- id always make sure i had a clean way out. If you get far enough away (it’s not really too far) the tracking will fail since you’re out of range.

That’s about how i figured it would be…seems like it would be kinda weird to get right, and even then you kinda need that reassurance of a good pat 😆

They exist. I think primarily a Japan thing (no surprise…). I havent seen one in person, but seen them for sale or some weird bidet article about all the options you can get. Hot/cold water, his/her’s, blow dry, lights, music, multiple user pre-sets, etc. usually it’s sold as the entire toilet, not an “add-on” option.

Yup, i havent been able to mute in a long time. Tried all the buttons, multiple buttons at once, etc. The worst ones are the ones blasting whatever that stupid “fuel pump show” is that talks about what’s going on in the pop world with “famous” people ive never even heard of, or stupid “life hacks” that arent…

Shouldnt suprise you but…US. (Possibly other countries) Years ago they started adding video screens to display certain things, so as natural progression goes….there’s a screen so there will be ads. Loud-as-shit video ads that play as soon as you start pumping. And when no one is at the pumps they cycle silent ad slideshows.

Nope. White are real people, too. You respawn white back at the beginning (i think you have the option to, so you could stay red as well) if you managed to find all the glyphs. Ive been the White Traveler lots of times.

Ha, as i was typing that i considered the possibility your car might be a diesel, but decided otherwise….go figure! But ya, as the others have said, there is also diesel stabilizers, but diesel does have a longer life span. Putting a stabilizer in wont hurt anything, so personally, id put it in anyways just to be safe….

Yeah, for the most part. The other commenter is right about that battery, tho. Disconnecting the battery will help, but depending on the type and age of the battery (and temperatures in the storage area) the battery might still not last. Trickle charger might be ideal here, even just a little solar panel for it.

Gas in the tank is another thing. There might be conflicting opinions on how best to handle this, but- I would run the tank as empty as practical, then fill it up completely (so you have all fresh gas) and add a stabilizer. Most stabilizers will keep the gas good for 1-2 years. Best to make sure its an Ethanol stabilizer (like Sta-Bil 360), unless you put pure gas in. Then make sure to drive it a little so the stabilized gas gets into the whole fuel system.

Otherwise, give it a good wash and then a cover for it if you can if it’ll be outside in the elements. Depending on the storage environment, things could still start growing on it, inside and out.

Same here, lived in a few different states and usually never got out of the first “tier” pricing bracket (where this billing method was used), so my water bills were pretty much to the penny the same every month.

Im gonna be the AkShUalLy guy here and say this isnt always the case…. There are shower controls that turn on immediately to full pressure and then adjust for temp as you keep turning, no way to actually control the water pressure without just having fully cold water. These have been around forever…

I installed a newer Delta one in my house a few years ago (2021 or so). They now have a feature where the water temperature is always whatever you set it- no fluctuations of scalding water when someone flushes a toilet or random freezes if someone turns on hot water elsewhere in the house. Or even 2 showers/baths fighting for hot water at the same time. So it’s like an auto-adjusting thing that happens inside that requires max input pressure to work right. Of course, i always want max water pressure, so this was a win-win for me!

To note- this wasnt a crazy expensive, high-end model…it was basically what most of the single knob/lever shower controls are now.

Fair enough! I was under the impression you had to finish all the quests. I had already done so prior and i think i read about it to confirm, so whatever source i read that wasnt correct!

I lived in North Dakota for almost 5 years, they dont use salt. Just a sand/dirt mix. Things get really nasty in the spring/early summer when it all starts melting. They were trying out a weird chemical mix when we moved away, i want to say some glycol something or other? It was actually pretty slimy but way better than ice.

Yea. If i remember right he had no memory of actually killing everyone, just the beginning when the kid tried to screw him over. So maybe he didnt think about how bad it actually was?

And, of course, V never made it clear that everyone was supposed to think he was dead…’cause taking his dog tags wasnt clear enough.

Obvious spoilers here—-

Dude txts you back a few days later and says he was recovering, thanks for the help, etc. But he feels really bad about all the people he killed and wants to make it up to or apologize to the people in the Stacks. V can reply with basically a “no! You’ll ruin eveything, dont!” Because they think he’s dead. But he says “too late, already did”.

Soooo, you could just never go back to that area….or if you do, they’ll all be really upset with you and never talk to you again. You dont really have any need to go back there anyways, but not a 100% happy ending, as with most of the PL quests, lol.

I let him talk. As with most of the PL quests, there’s always some deeper layers and usually a pretty good moral decision to make.

If you finished all the Cyberpsychos and the quest to find them all, at some point in the conversation you’ll have the option to convince him to call Regina to get help. I chose that method. Of course it kind of back-fires later on with the quest-giver chick in the Stacks, but I still feel better about the whole outcome.

That’s a good point. I’m using Memmy on iOS, but havent tried anything else. I’ve been meaning to try something else cause there’s a few other things on Memmy that bug me, so i’ll probly give Voyager a shot. I figured it was an end-client issue, so that must be the common thing, especially if jackoneill confirms Memmy as well. Once he gets back from his Startgate mission, of course.
