Id kill for an RPG where the crafting was less about

Once you get Amrorsmith to level 50 you can make Cursed Demon Armor

And more about the skill involved and the process. The melting of the ore, the casting, shaping, polishing etc.

I'm ~3 hours in? Just got off the first island and had my first ship battles.
- The skill tree stuff seems cool; I like that there are more options for combat.
- I like the dialogue choices

Hopefully those things help to avoid the issue I had with Origins, which is that all the quests felt very samey after a while

- I'm playing on exploration mode, which is pretty good about directing you to where you need to go, but I did just sail way past a location because it said it was an island but it looks more like a peninsula on the map.
- Menus are still garbage; why do they use a cursor?

A few doors down from Barber, theres a particularly impressive home, with a 600-bottle wine cellar, a wraparound shower with massage jets and a soaking tub, and a sizeable pool with a waterfall and jacuzzi overlooking the lake. It belongs to Jim McVay, a sports executive who has built his wealth over the past 30 years by running the Outback Bowl, a second-tier college football postseason game featuring third-place teams.

The hefty paychecks enjoyed by bowl bosses long have been viewed by economists as a sign of exploitation in a sport played by amateurs. But even among this coterie of well-paid executives, McVays compensation $1,045,000 in 2017, according to the bowls most recent tax filing ranks as extreme, according to a review of bowl financial records and interviews with industry experts.

McVay, a former Buccaneers marketing executive and uncle to Los Angeles Rams Coach Sean McVay, is the highest-paid bowl executive in the country, even though his organizations revenue $11.9 million in 2017 ranked 10th among bowl organizations. While several bowl bosses manage other games or major events, McVays core duties remain as focused as they were when he took the job in 1988: negotiate contracts and sell sponsorships and tickets for one football game each year.

The chief executive of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association which generated $96.7 million in revenue, and manages the Rose Bowl and the Tournament of Roses Parade made $412,000, or less than half of McVays income. The chief executive of Peach Bowl Inc. which generated $32.5 million in revenue, and also manages the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game made $710,500. And the chief executive of Florida Citrus Sports Events Inc. which generated $17.4 million in revenue and manages two bowl games (Citrus and Camping World) made $586,000.

The decision by the Outback Bowls board a volunteer group of local businesspeople and dignitaries to pay McVay, year after year, more than many of his peers further stands out because their bowl, historically, is among the stingiest when it comes to giving to charity.

Among the 10 wealthiest bowl games in terms of revenue, the Outback Bowl ranks eighth in charitable giving since 2000, according to financial records and interviews, with $500,000 donated, all in the last two years.

When informed of McVays pay and the Outback Bowls revenue, one expert on the economy of college sports laughed.

You really cant justify this salary, said Richard Southall, professor and director of the College Sport Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. Southall said McVay benefits from working in a niche industry with unique market factors beneficial to executives, such as cheap entertainment (the players in bowl games each get $550 of souvenir gifts, the maximum permitted under NCAA rules), and lax oversight.

Per those figures
1.314 points per 3PA
1.028 points per 2PA

?

Attempts per game * percentage * the type of shot (2 or 3 pointer) = total points per attempt per game

Yes, but the figures are only close because he's not attempting as many 3s as 2s.

Serious question (I'm not political): have democrats EVER shut down the government? I don't mean through they're inaction or unwillingness to agree with republicans. I mean, have they ever said, "We're shutting down the government for X reason?"

Literally last year, they held out for DACA protections, then caved the moment polls suggested some people viewed it poorly.

Nobody remembers it. Just like no one will remember this.

There are Iraq War supporters who are accepted in the public discourse to this day. People who, less than a decade ago, decried how gay marriage would pave the way for people marrying their brothers, or animals, whose presence no one bat's a fucking eye at now.

TC, you have a lot more faith in the American public's memory and willingness to shun people than I do.

Like it or not, the school produces a bunch of America's political elite and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future no matter how butthurt conservatives get over that fact.

Ted Cruz and George W. Bush have Harvard degrees. Its graduates are hardly a liberal force in our politics, on the whole.
