To quote the Immortal Fonzarelli. EXACTAMUNDO!

First. Please do not talk down to me with this "easy there" crap. My point is calmly made. Second. My point is that players are not inflicting their proclivities on other players with SM. Moving beyond that "but what about" is just passive aggressive push. As such, I made a very pointed point that if you're looking for a game that's totally and utterly inoffensive, THIS IS NOT IT. Why? Because nobody, not even GMs and mods controls what every last person finds offensive. There is already a standard here for what is and is not acceptable. By extension, if that standard is not acceptable to YOU, you have options.

The reason it's okay is because it's CHARACTERIZATION. It isn't harassment aimed at one ACTUAL person by another. If you're looking for a game where everything's been bowdlerized and sanitized for everyone. Might I suggest SOLITAIRE? Sorry, but that sort of agenda-pushing is political and utterly unacceptable. Every attempt is made to not expose children to overtly sexualized content and deviancy (notice the dropped storyline of Dominatrix boinking Tyrant).

In my not-so-humble opinion. With ONE caveat, I would wait for AT LEAST the SECOND (I'm conservative, so I'd wait for the third) quarterly patch for Win11 before seriously considering it anything even CLOSE to stable. Might it work fine BEFORE then? Maybe. Do I TRUST Microsoft? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Are you nuts? Now, I mentioned ONE caveat. And this caveat is for new-built systems. If you're looking to build or buy a new system with an Intel 12th-gen processor, go Win11. With the new segmented core architecture, you benefit from the Win11 process scheduler FAR more than you would Win10. However, if you're on any Intel generation PRIOR to 12th-gen, or are running AMD, stick with Win10 as I advised earlier. You gain precisely NOTHING. And the Win11 scheduler currently is NOT optimized for the fairly powerful AMD CPUs.

It's Bird Day. *BURP* and YOU should be happy up until you're VERY sleepy due to tryptophan poisoning and carb overload.

Couldn't sleep immediately. So. Jelly Caps!

And my new keyboard.

The closes I came to this is someone tipping my first villain on Live for her costume. But ever since? Nah. Probably because I look like:

You laptop gaming? Or desktop? What's your video card and are the drivers up to date?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. https://www.jibjab.com/view/make/be_thankful/5b905402-97b1-49f4-9de4-3f96d7a1f3b7

OOH! OOH!

Sorry about the necro post. Not sure why I didn't see this question when asked. The UG unique is in Resist elements. Now, being more comfortable, I'd just swap the Rech/Resist in Tough for it and reclaim the slot for something else.

Nothing to be sorry about. This is just the intelligent outlook on this.

I have the best friends... Have a bud at NVIDIA who's been keeping his eyes out for cards for me. Could possibly have scored an engineering sample. But those are actually locked so you can only internal drivers not available outside the company. But he came back today and I was able to score a 3070TI! I'd tried to go for a 3080 but they sold too quick. And couldn't justify nearly doubling the price for a 3080TI or double-plus for a 3090. Now, a month ago, I could have. A flooded basement and cleanup later... Still a 3070TI is a heck of a step up!

I dunno. The writing has to be there. And the last two show runners...well...

How tight is your Consumption vs Recovery? From personal experience, I'm sitting at 0.94 resting consumption (0.72 for a "Mo Durable") and have a recovery of 3.5. Unless I'm being successfully sapped, my End bar barely moves outside of Rage crash. We're not talking about an UNSTOPPABLE End crash (100%). We're talking a Rage crash (25%). I mean, if your build's a lot tighter, I guess it might be a problem. I've haven't had this problem.

I'm pretty sure that the nasty backlash they caught has more or less driven a stake into the heart of that storyline. And the upcoming regeneration will likely retcon the living hell out of it. I didn't care for the Whitaker Doctor either. Not that Jodie herself was BAD. Just her portrayal. Which is essentially bad writing and direction. So, it's Chibnall and his writing team.

Taunt 'em. Summon Incarnate Pets. Toggle your Hybrid power. Hit your self-heal. One or two of them will eat that piddly 10 seconds up.

Basically The Doctor can be any AT with a super-high recharge build and a self-rez. FYI, I got introduced to Doctor Who in High School in a Doctor Who fanclub. I'd kinda seen pieces on PBS (WTTW in Chicago). But the first actual episodes I watch were PAL bootlegs from the UK. And the first episode was "An Unearthly Child", followed by the rest of the first season. So my first Doctor was Hartnell. My favorite Doctor, old-school, was Tom Baker. My favorite Doctor, overall, was Eccleston. And I feel a grave disservice was done to the fanbase by only giving the man a year. Not to take anything away from Tennant. But Chris really deserved at least another couple seasons. Favorite monster? Billie Piper: Bad Wolf. I just find it hilarious that the most powerful, dangerous thing The Doctor ever faced was a young woman who was trying to get into his pants...with the powers of a god...

Considering that a Tank's job is to tank, the damage crash is irrelevant. And, well built, the Defense crash accomplishes very little. So Rage isn't "hindering" anything.

Tanky Random stab: (See what I did there? HEH HEH!)

On Inv/SS and SS/Inv, I build for at least Soft-Cap with NO enemies in range. So if there's no enemies in range, maybe a problem. But this is ALSO why I recommend buffing Resist as much as possible in your build too. Basically to ensure you have the wherewithal to survive that 10 second burp.
