| ThePieReborn 10/04/22 11:32:57 AM #48 | Glad to be of help, even if in just a small way. I love dissecting how bosses work through trial and error. It's how I got real good at figuring out Midir so that I had an unbroken streak of keeping the host alive in my co-op adventures. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| ThePieReborn 10/01/22 7:31:03 AM #34 | pegusus123456 posted... Yeah, I can't even tell how you'd dodge it if you're a melee character. My only idea is that you just go with the idea that the ability has an internal cooldown, so you only whack her immediately after she's finished doing it. But my experience with this game as a whole is that there is no internal cooldown on it and she could just spam it forever if she wanted to.There is definitely some sort of cooldown period. I've spent a lot of time messing around with her on both my Dex and Int builds. I've been able to consistently avoid Waterfowl Dance by adhering to the 30-60 second timeline I described and backing out to mid-range to use Swift Glintstone Shard/throwing knives. While being less cautious, I've also noticed she has a proclivity to slowly strafe walk back and forth if Waterfowl Dance is "off" cooldown. Obviously not empirical because I have no way to verify via the game's code, but those are my observations and experiences after spending almost a week poking the bear. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| ThePieReborn 09/30/22 9:24:47 PM #19 | Swift Glintstone Shard is nice for mages to bait out Waterfowl Dance every 30-60 secs. Once you internalize that cooldown, she gets substantially easier to work with. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
| Topic | Elden Ring. Does starting character matter? |
| ThePieReborn 09/27/22 4:36:46 PM #6 | Stat allocations and levels differ among the classes, but these differences only matter inasmuch (a) you want to use a particular type of weapon that has a higher minimum stat requirement earlier or (b) you're wanting to min-max. Otherwise, just pick which starts with a weapon/spells you like. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

I only have a passing familiarity with the situation, but hasn't there also been speculation (if not outright confirmation) that some of these sponsored gambling streams artificially inflate the streamer's win rate to make it seem like it's easier to win big on the site?There was that big CSGO weapon gambling thing where the streamers were also owners of the gambling sites. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
| Topic | The chess Carlsen/Niemann cheating scandal is so bullshit. |
| ThePieReborn 09/20/22 8:22:59 AM #16 | I know about the online cheating allegations/confirmation, but has Niemann been found to have been cheating in-person before? I feel like there's a distinction to be made with the ease of cheating in online play versus doing so after going through the security check in an in-person tournament. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt if his in-person record is okay, but the onus is still on the party making the accusations notwithstanding that record. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

It really only features that one scene and really nothing else. The scene is definitely eye rolling and can be summed up by your statement, but that's the only real complaint.There is a bit of truth in that scene, as far as the legal field goes. The good ol' boys part of the profession tends to be disrespectful towards women attorneys ("mistaking" them for assistants/paralegals, diminutive naming, general treatment as inferior, etc). So while the delivery could have been better, that is an underlying issue in my profession. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| ThePieReborn 08/17/22 11:33:10 PM #88 | MrAndersonWb posted... an actual later on CE!Depends on where you are, what you're doing, and how much experience you have. Average starting salary for attorneys in my state is around 65,000, and I'm making a bit above that. It's pretty comfortable, although I'm moving into a more expensive apartment (which makes me a little nervous despite having worked out my budget). The location is nice, though. Lotta bars and restaurants nearby. I just started private practice, though. I've been employed as a judicial law clerk from August 2020 until the end of this July, so it's been a little disorienting to jump into the advocate role after two years in the appellate court. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

I mean in 2015 it was obvious that he was a fascist, a bigot, a con man, had a lot of ties to Russia that made him vulnerable to exploitation, and that he was the type who would instigate a coup to seize power. Admittedly, I'd have been more likely then to expect him to just hand them over to Russia and other foreign leaders. Not uh... stealing them and keeping them after he was removed from office and selling them or at least holding onto them in anticipation of when he could sell them.My son Donald is not a fascist.
