Lulz, musta been weird for the FBI boomer bosses to go looking for one of the computer guys and find you. When they walk into the lab:

Don't really remember the details of the fight. I think I had the insta-cast cure shield, maybe. Is it a disease slow? If not, dunno. I remember not being able to cure the slow on Emp Shis during Luclin, but it was still a fairly easy fight, just long.

Digging through the THJ thread, here is a parse from Quarm (DPS was ~20% lower than Time Inny fight, for whatever reason): Also, here is a Petcuck google speadsheet with PoP updates from THJ thread: [SOURCE]

Rogue adds a TON of damage with Wiz. Double/Triple/Ripost backstabs happen fairly often and they can proc poison. My memory is old, but I think poisons were doing roughly as much as hard cast wiz spells (10k poison and 12k wiz spells). The Anger of Shissar poison line procs often. On THJ I used...

When I saw this earlier, I hadn't heard about the horse testicles modeling and thought it was a "knees too sharp" type joke, but here is another:

A clip of an article on the first Pacific settlers, from a New Zeeland.gov website on proto-Polynesians (Lapita peoples): Also kinda relevant, talking about NZ specifically: https://teara.govt.nz/en/pacific-migrations/print

Not sure if you are specifically replying to the "ancestors of Americans" or just in general, but the "driven by one thing: resources" certainly doesn't apply to a decent amount of the English coming to the new world. A large subsection of them were primarily fleeing religious persecutions by...

May be too late, but for poison, you just make Anger of Shissar (all mats on vendor in Baz) until the level 65 one goes green. For everything else I think I followed EQProgress guide or cobbled something together from the "old" guides on EQTraders. The MQ program (autocombat) should have an...

Reading about his death made me want to revisit the collections of posts on a survival forum of the dude who lived through the Siege of Sarajevo. Looks like he wrote a few books about it too (LINK). Wonder if it rehashes the posts he made or if it goes into other things.

How long can a nuclear plant generator run without a complete overhaul? How long before "things like the engine block will have to be replaced"? It's not going to be two stroke engines and pickem-up trucks running things... Yall are acting like if humans can't do it tomorrow, it can never get...

Meh, how is this really any different than current people living on the current ship (earth) traveling through space? Life is what you make it. Humans adapt to their situation and their outlook depends on how they are indoctrinated & educated. As for stories about what living on a planet was...

Buying reviews isn't an industry standard? Come on now. Promoting honest game journalism has never been an industry standard, going all the way back through print media.

Yeah, Wiz made SK and Rogue spells/poisons do monster crits/dmg and 100% crit rate while in Prolonged Destruction and the other "Destruction" AA. The procs also didnt use charges of those AA, so you hard cast Wiz spells until the buff had 1 charge left and then let it time out. It was a bit...

Yar, this year has been slightly above average so far. Quake swarms/chains happen as the larger quakes will add energy to other faults as the waves travel through the earth, causing the ones that are close, on their own, to slip soon-ish. USGS didn't have 2022+ in an easy to reference...
