Almost always the trinity of Panacea, Numina, Miracle in Health. (Although I enjoy the irony of slotting Health for more Stamina!) At least a Performance Shifter proc and Endmod in Stamina. Maybe a slot or two extra if I'm on a toon without many Auto powers. But yeah, ever since ED (don't they have drugs for that now?), six-slotting seems overkill.

I bow, defeated, and retire before superior wits.

Ha! Well, I just got Gobsmacked on Torch!

I prefer to have my taskbars on the left hand side, vertically. With landscape monitors, horizontal screen real estate is plentiful, while vertical is rare and precious. My new work PC came with Winders 11. Which I promptly moved to the hard drive (Thanks, Clonezilla!) and installed Fedora* to the SSD. I pretty much only boot W11 for monthly patching, but the inability to move the taskbar to the left side irks me every time. I would have just deleted Winders entirely, but then Microsoft would have won by getting paid for a license that was wasted. And I might want to play a game at work sometime, after all. * Because I'm a Red Hat CentOS Rocky Linux admin.

After Chris Chibnall's paranoid secrecy, its a huge relief to have RTD2, with his column in Dr. Who magazine, his flagrant showmanship, and his boundless enthusiasm. Will he run through most of his good ideas in the first couple of seasons? Probably. Will he deliver two-parters where the first episode is fantastic and the second is... an episode? Check. But: Will he make DW interesting again, even for folks who aren't dedicated Whovians? Absolutely! I'm looking forward to it. PS: The BBC just announced they'll be streaming (what survives of) all 60 years on iPlayer. (If only they knew someone who could animate all the episodes that survive only as soundtracks!)

The most fun I had on a TF was an ITF I led, advertised as "World's Slowest ITF." Wound up with a mellow, quippy crew, some of whom even became friends. I'd say your runner was a rude, stubborn jerk! But the whole damn world seems to be suffering from a plague of rude, stubborn jerks!

Only Tornado needs KB-KD these days, Lightning Storm has it built in now. But for Tornado it changes a spaz into a meat grinder.

/suppressclosefx 1 /suppressclosefxdist 300 Will do a lot more good. Turning off/down particles helps a friend of mine, especially combined with the above. Graphics card settings can help, also. Play with brightness, contrast, and gamma to see if any help. Expert tip: There is a utility called Reshade that will allow you to perform post-processing to graphics the game developers never heard of. It's not the easiest thing to use, but it gives you another method to control what you see. Good luck! My migraine-afflicted friends have managed to make this game less triggering, I hope you can as well. And... Welcome Home!

If you ever notice I'm on, send me a tell. I'll gleefully join you -- mostly on Torch these days. I do love building characters who can handle the foes others cower from!

Go to PI, set your diff as high as it goes, and play Malta radio missions. Dark Astoria works as well. The Ditko Zone (aka Shadow Shard) has a different set of challenges, but is worth a try. Might not be the greatest challenges in the game, but they'll give you an idea of how the high-end challenges go. (Please don't solo Hamidon, it summons the nerf-herders.) I have a knee-jerk disdain for folks who do all that in PI, except they only face Council. (A joke at that level!) Then they complain about how easy this game is.

Always. But sometimes not from the Travel Pools. For any magic-themed character, I find Mystic Flight irresistible. A decent Fly, with built-in Teleport? Sign me up!

Costumes in the bedroom.

I feel obligated to point out that pirates, as the opposite of ninjas, have the inverse relationship. One pirate is a party (think Captain Jack). A boatload of pirates is a disaster (think the Black Freighter). (The Pirates of Penzance gets a pass, because Gilbert and Sullivan.)

Just a guess: maybe his chosen name is the same as someone who was banned in the past?

Go for Storm/Storm. It's pure, lovely chaos.

Or my personal favorite, Jump around the corner, aggro, hit nuke... And then wind up where I started, nuking nothing but myself. Then the mobs come around the corner, baying for blood. Effing Verizon wireless dialup emulation!

And then once you have them like you want them, right-click and select "Lock tray numbers" so you don't accidentally change them. In mid-combat. From your offensive powers tray to your travel powers tray. Ask me how I know.

Be sure to click the "Install to Launcher" button when you run it. Only needs to happen once, but it really needs to happen.

Is that you, Jack?

There's a new one that seems pretty good: City Mod Installer, IIRC. Works where the other stopped working.

Being picky, I know, but Steamy Mist doesn't Confuse the enemy. That's Arctic Air, from Ice. Steamy Mist gives you resistance to and protection from Confuse.

You, too? I thought it was my medication! Certain debuffs on certain mobs just seem to piss them off to the nth degree! (I'll try to document it, I just thought it was me.)

I love Defenders, but try a Controller. Containment is a considerable force multiplier (1.8x, IIRC). (Edited to add: Pro tip, grab the Sorcery Pool. As a controller, you can sometimes get the benefit of Containment and Empowerment with Arcane Bolt. It's a joy to behold when it all lines up!) (Insert Tony Shaloub: It's the simple things in life you treasure.)

I'm afraid they're lacking an editor. Someone to say, "This is a comic. Make room for the artist!" Mission briefings that need paging or scrolling should be the exception, not the rule.

Thanks for this. My second favorite CyberKnight will be reprogramming directly!
