CELEBRATORY NUDITY IS BEST NUDITY
Got the mail slot achievement wooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That was the first one I got. Snipers FTW.

as I may have stated before, this is the first game I have ever enjoyed being a sniper in. I usually find them beyond frustrating to play as (I always turn down sensitivity on controllers as I was raised in the s/nes generation) and even(god how I hate this word) overpowered due to fanboyism on the part of the programmers. Possibly due to the type of game mass effect is, that isn't the case here.
Weird. I almost always snipe, yet find it hard to do so in ME.

I upgraded to Windows 10.
Discovery: the '10' stands for the number of minutes between system lockups requiring hard POR.

On the rare occasions when I play FPS games, I always play the sniper, but nothing compares to playing one in Mass Effect. No matter what class I play, I try to build my character so that they can use some kind of scoped weapon (case in point, my rifle specialist biotic adept-- nothing but long-range kills for 3 games straight).

It's a little wonky in the first game unless you put a lot of skill points into it, but by ME3, it's magical.

This girl is a sniper all the way.
Still why can't my Shepard pick up one of those shields for use in missions where cover where I want it would be awesome?

I want then shields so badly...they mixed with one of the smgs would looks almost EXACTLY like the armament for a GM in original mobile suit gundam(beam spray gun x1, shield x1, beam saber x1)
Want that shield so bad!
And a helmet that looks like a GM head..obviously.

I just had a brilliant piece of fridge logic about my Pathfinder campaign setting. It's Eberronish, but the magitech relies chiefly on alchemists instead of low level spellcasters. It's also based around the 1960s instead of the 1920s. The rise of drug culture is a part of the setting, given that it is supposed to emulate the Sixties, and I just realized something that totally backs this up. If alchemists are the main driver of technology, that means people are experimenting with all sorts of concoctions. Well, it stands to reason that some of those might get you really high. Like, magical high. Literally. People are probably snorting some sort of magic dust. Which means the rise of drug culture meshes perfectly with the alchemical basis of technology.
Yes, it's all starting to come together nicely.
I wish there was a class that specialized in the smg. I would have the vanguard(whoever the armor specialists are) use it best.

In my campaign setting, the gods are living impaired. While they still have a double handful of priests left who await their return (or think they are new/old gods reborn), most associate/conflate the magical abilities of priests with those of adepts, who get their power from the dragons who slew the gods in the first place. Adepts are a grow stronger/ learn new spells only through the absorption of draconic humors, which can take the form of just about any secretion imaginable, but are most potent when shared willingly. As a result, all but the most sober and paranoid dragons have sizeable harems of acolyte-mates, each vying against the other for more time with their godlike spouse as well as fractions of divine power. There are a few who seek dragons out simply to slay them gorge themselves on their flesh and blood, but this is a method as inefficient as it is insane. Still, the market for dragon ichor remains fantastically profitable...

That's certainly an interesting take on religion. How are adepts portrayed? Are they typically brainwashed junkies, or are they capable of being heroes? What about divine spellcasters other than adepts?
I went with a mixture of several approaches to religion, myself. It's actually kind of complicated to explain:
now I want again to research my family history, but without a rudimentary grasp of the Polish language, among other issues, I probably won't get far.
Every time I play me3, I am amazed at the number of fasa properties mentioned liberally throughout the game. I wonder if that is intentional ribbing, if they are fans who got permission, or if the simply pulled a semi-mechwarrior/whedon.
now I want again to try to learn Polish, but I have tried many times in my life and made no progress.

as dragons are the main antagonists in the setting any who have positive dealings with dragons are usually enemies. I kicked around the idea of adepts being almost indoctrinated since I love mass effect, but I discarded that idea.
Some adepts are capable of becoming heroes(or perhaps I should say heroes are capable of becoming adepts), but this is quite rare, as those who slay a dragon almost never have enough of the humors left to become an adept themselves- one must literally ingest (a few sources say bathe in) an entire unwilling dragon's lifeblood to gain a single level of adept,; it is said devouring a dragons heart provides greater power. It takes significantly less volume of other humors - roughly the amount a dragon would expend in a moment of passion, which is how many prefer to bestow such a gift- when done willingly. Still, most know dragon humors have magical properties, and so are often used as a base in magical potions.
Other divine spellcasters draw power from the Covenant- a barely sentient/living promise left behind by the gods to empower their priests while they recover their corporeal forms after being slain by their most powerful and treacherous servants.
Interesting. I like the idea of the Covenant. Haven't heard of getting magic from a promise before.

I tried to learn German. Didn't work.

I wonder if, due to my studies of Old English and historical germanic linguistics, I would have better luck with German.

The German language is inefficient enough to make English seem functional. Seriously. Eight plural forms and no clear rule about which one you're supposed to use when, because every rule has too many exceptions to follow. And Germans from different regions can't even understand each other. If you are a foreign speaker, you're hosed.

Huh. I was talking about my great-great-grandfather murdering Indians, and I realized something. The generations on my mother's side of the family and my father's side of the family are spaced radically differently. On my father's side, one of my great-great-grandfathers fled Ireland during the potato famine, fought in the American Civil War, and worked on the Transcontinental Railroad. On my mom's side, I don't know much about my great-great-grandparents, except that they were middle aged when they came to America during World War 2, which would put them as reaching adulthood in the 10s or 20s. That generation spacing is radically different.

the varying ages at which people have children can lead to that sort of phenomenon.
My great-grandmother was a teenager during world war 2, and my lineage from her is affected over multiple generations by young births. I'm the first person in a few generations to break the pattern, because PiV is gross and I'm probably infertile anyway.
EDIT: wait my mom wasn't my grandmother's first child, my uncle was, which affects the generation spacing. and actually my uncle doesn't have any kids and never will, so I guess he broke the pattern first, and a generation before me at that.
It's 2:30 in the morning, don't mind me.
Okay, seems that online Pathfinder I got invited to is on Friday, and we have a different DM (and campaign) than I thought. I'm going to play a Kobold Sorcerer!

Time for another episode of Orthos's Bizarre Dreams.
I dreamed that Dracula [Castlevania version] was in the house I grew up in in Texas because he wanted to capture (or was it consume?) the ghosts that haunted the place. We arrived just in time to see him grab a couple at the front door, then he led us upstairs into my old bedroom, talked spooky for a bit, then left. The last thing I remember about it was thinking I was gonna have so many nightmares about ghosts that night then realizing they probably wouldn't be nightmares.
Remember, Draculas weak spot is his eyes.

Ah, German, the much simpler and ordered language than Polish. Rather simple word order, only four grammatical cases, less exceptions, much less ways of inflecting words...

Eh, it's mostly "expand quickly overextending our logistic lines - collapse due to internal or external reasons - recover from collapse - start a new expansion - overextend again - collapse - repeat". At random intervals add "stamp out the cultural and technological developments to keep the masses in the state of ignorance".

And we have reached Day 100!
My original plan was to go for 741 days to reach my 50th birthday.
Considering how remarkably difficult it's been, and how I still crave gin & tonics at least 2-3 times a week, I think we're looking at more like 1000 days.
If the cravings are still around then, we'll just keep going...

Good luck. Having said that, my advice is to NEVER touch any more alcohol for the rest of your life. Sorry, but IMHO that phase of your life should be over. The price for drinking alcohol is too high and you deserve to have a good life free from it. Sadly, the craving probably never will be gone.
