  1. Yeah i get the technical issue, was just curious as to why it'd be worth it to convert within ranged aoe rather than just convert out of category. Posi were worth anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 million if you hit the proc when I last played, with the bombardment proc being maybe a bit more. 

  2. Depends on the enhancement's level and type. Even if a power isn't available at the level the set bonuses will still work provided you're not exemped more than 3 levels below the level of the enhancement (or in the case of attuned, 3 levels below the lowest level that enhancement is available at.) Purples and pvp have their bonuses exemp to any level. Winter and ATO go down to 7.

  3. I haven't played in a while...is there something great in the TAOE category now that would justify a convert by category for Air Burst? I'm reading wondering what's the best case scenario even if it works? Ditto for exploit weakness. 

  4. I've been playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It's pretty amazing if you were a Castlevania Symphony of the Night fan. It's a love letter to that but with not ps1-era graphics. It's not especially new but is in the current Humble Metroidvania bundle with some other good stuff like Hollow Knight.

  5. 'Mrs. Davis' (Peacock) is the best one season series I've seen in a very long time. Sort of an absurdist Pynchon-esque ridiculous conspiracy kinda thing. Also liked 'A Spy Among Friends' (ITV/Britbox) quite a bit, slow burn old-schoolish spy miniseries with a great cast. 'The Diplomat' (the Kerry Russell Netflix one, I tapped out on the Alibi one early on) was also quite good with a great cast. It's in that sort of constant crisis political genre if you're into that sort of thing. That's about all I've been particularly impressed with of late.

    So now we have 4 custom plus the standard club version of whatever we're calling the purple neon things. Almost enough for a full Electric Light Orchestra. The absurdly expensive custom replica people should be thrilled. Plus that'd justify 3 different Praetorian Guard action figures and character unlocks for a Lego Mando game/dlc. Favreau's really been upping his Disney chops.

     

    Also I like that Moff Gus cloned himself as a 64 year old man. You spend all that money developing clone tech and then cheap out on the de-aging? I guess he planned for his clones to use the force to shrink their prostates back to normal.

     

  7. Their midsections are perfectly protected by multiple belt pouches. If we learned anything from Rob Liefeld it's that pouches deflect the eye from noticing what's underneath, be it a waist the size of a donut, a forearm the size of an adult human, or as in this case, unshielded normal sized midsections.

    Not lightsabers, but a polearm weapon of some sort.  I'm not certain they've been seen in Star Wars before.  The closest comparison I've found, so far, is a weapon with the Praetorian Guard in The Last Jedi.  That weapon is called a vibro-voulge, and though very similar in nature, it has a distinctively different design.

    My traitor money is on Axe's second in command. She was a little too quick to volunteer. I thought Axe confirmed as traitor when he was the one who ran off to warn the fleet until Gideon sent the TIEs after the fleet. That'd hardly be necessary if his confederate would be the one in charge of it.

    I'm discounting the armourer since she's obviously a force ghost of Satine Kryze, who'll reveal herself and Obi-Wan as Bo's real parents in the finale 😛

    They did mention that episode 7 was "probably the best episode of The Mandalorian ever, at least this season".  Something to look forward to.

     

    Having now watched it I'd say it was exactly the type of ep I'd expect folks crowded in to watch at a con to say that about. Fan service abounded but mostly predictable and facepalmy happenings.

    The council of hammy holograms suggestion that Brainy Smurf's not actually even around is the exception. There's nothing in his character that'd make one think he'd be trying to revamp the empire. He's honor-bound to Palpatine, not the empire or its remnants. But the idea that one of them would be using him as a figurehead to keep themselves in the game makes perfect sense.

     

  11. 1986 if i iirc correctly. With seemingly years of tedious appearances of the monitor preparing for it. They were probably kinda cool if you were reading at the time but if you read the full books with them all together cuz you're following a reading order it's quite painful.
