Wow. Talk about your attention to detail: Now THAT's dedication!

Wait, we have Sontarans, Daleks, and Fendahl in this game? Where?

Patch notes, or it didn't happen!

SBB, no question! Good rewards and you get to make Hollywood jokes!

That's right! I always forget the best auto-hit AOE Disorient and debuff in the game also rezzes your buddies!

I blew $50 on an non-lcd (but backlit) 5x5 keypad from AliExpress. It uses the QMK system for setup, which is open-source, but it's complicated enough that I keep putting off learning it. Cheap alternative, though. You can print on acetate and slip labels under the keycaps. A pain, though, and yours is very nice! Back on Live, I used a $5 laptop-style USB numpad, with stickers on the buttons, but it appears Win10 conflates all numpads, so I needed something different.

Y'all are missing one vital thing: Attunement means you can have all your enh icons nice and round. It's an OCD thing, but I don't apologize for it.

For that matter, didn't Intel actually remove OpenGL support a few years back?

It's half-Tau day, darnit! https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/let-s-use-tau-it-s-easier-than-pi/

Civics lesson badge unlocked! (My city claims to have been founded in 1737, which is laughably young compared to almost any city in Europe. Betcha anything they'll throw a hell of a hootenanny in 2037, though.) I agree we should absolutely do something fun for Paragon's 200th!

"And why the fancy red suit, Mr. Pool?" "Oh, that's because it's Christmas Day, Dopinder..." Sorry, couldn't sleep until I posted this. (Could be worse; I'm also a Dr. Who fan, and you don't want to see the nested citations in those threads!)

Thanks, all! I was mainly concerned that power #1 proccing would prevent power #2 from going off. It look like it won't, but also won't stack, which works for me. Again, many thanks for the edumication. Some day, I'll figure out this ~18-year-old game. (That I've been playing for ~10 of those years!)

Paintable MM robots! But, more seriously, the ability to see what sets will slot into a power in the slot screen!

I had no idea such a thing existed! It has a channel that plays old Doctor Who (1st-7th Doctor) episodes 24/7. It skips all the incomplete stories (no recons, telesnaps, or animated episodes*) but is still pretty amazing fun for no money! Unlike Shout, it is dealer's choice, not on demand, but still wonderful background entertainment. It has ads -- usually for other Pluto channels -- but not egregious amounts. They're just a bit strange in the timing. (I suspect an AI inserts the breaks.) It's rather like PBS in the good old days, without the fundraising guilt marathons. Other channels run Mission:Impossible, Addams Family, Twilight Zone, and Bob Ross. Anyway, my friends have been keeping this a secret, so I thought I'd share. Edited to add: * And yet here I am, partway through Shada, a partially animated story!

No XP+double inf, along the lines of what used to happen when you disabled XP. But opt-in, since it would be a P2W buff. It could also turn off recipe/insp drops, if that makes it more fair.

To a slow, old, ex-sorcerer? Playing a Rad/Rad Sentinel, and enjoying it more than I expected, but it seems as though I can slot just about every power with one of these suckers. Is that at all wise? The description says it will trigger roughly 3.5 times per minute. Is that per power, per proc, or something else? Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I've been searching this forum, the wiki, and the Internet at large and coming up empty.

The only thing that I hate more than Mids is respeccing. Like resource management sims, that stuff is too much like real life! (NB: I would very much love a way to move a slot or two without a full respec!) And I make liberal use of the unslotting salvage items. But for me, respeccing is admitting I chose... poorly. So, yeah, concept is king. I pick powers by feel. Yeah, this feels right for this character. That said, I can't resist a beautiful shiny like the Panacea, Performance Shifter, or Numina specials. Specials are queen? So, I guess I blunder along, making choices as I go, informed by experience and the advice of others, but not limited by it. Just like real life, I guess. (Inconsistent/Hypocrite badge for the Doc, woot!)

At least get the P2W travel powers, QoL thing. And the freebie proccing enhancements are very nice at lower levels. But go hardcore if you like! And, Welcome Home!

Not all Tank sets get a Foot Stomp. If it is in concept, but not available to the set, Mighty Leap makes for a handy workaround. Does seem a tad underwhelming, though. (There's a mod to make it at least sound Mighty.)

+1 for the annoying submarine ping mod. It's responsible for my newfound ability to find the damn things. Downside is, I tend to rudely grab glowies even on other people's missions, just to stop the damn pings! Also, and apropos the differently-hearing discussion, is there some reason glowies don't... glow?

Yes, Arcane Bolt is a great blessing to Controllers. When Empowered and Contained especially!

I was at one of those where the Devs' avatars were giant versions of present players! Amazingly satisfying to help take down a gigantic version of yourself! I'd contribute to a fund to sponsor/trigger events like that!

I've seen this behavior recently also. I'm not sure why it's Untargetable to me, but can be targeted by pets. Perhaps it's already labelled untargetable, but the pets ignore the flag? It was entertaining the first few times, but it gets tedious quickly.

1. Discord is objectively awful. 2. I like to help when I can. 3. I often learn stuff. 4. Sometimes forum folks make me laugh. Out loud.

As mentioned, Tips missions often provide a welcome change of pace. I'd also suggest you hit the Signature missions, and at least find out Who will die? And I'm a huge fan of the Respec missions. No need for them now, but a fun ride nonetheless.
