    everything about Neverwinter is about charging $5 for shit that should be free and $15 for shit that maybe is worth a buck. Like a single fucking bag slot. For fifteen dollars.

    Well I got a 17 for my dexterity and a 15 for charisma, and 13 for my third important thing. The other ones suck but whatevz

    Newest episode of vice, egads

    re: insane fucking mormons; wealth disparity in mumbai (lol skyscraper houses, entire skyscraper is house)

    I don't know how I feel about VICE.

    On the one hand, kids are getting their international social justice fix.

    On the other hand... the guy they sent in to do a story on the gang violence in Karachi had an absolutely atrocious Urdu accent, and it makes me question how legit basically all their reporters are.

    well googling backs up everything in the report about mumbai having tens of millions in poverty + skyscraper houses

    also the crazy mormons

    also the drug cartels

    which of their reports were false?

    I'm not saying the reports are false (I have no idea).

    I'm saying it's very easy to misrepresent things, or blow them out of proportion, when the thing you're covering is so obscure that no one outside of people directly involved can judge whether you're representing all the facts.

    Hehehe! The quick and dirty way is to drop the last 4 zeroes to get the US cash value, so it's like $70. It will be interesting to see how it spends here. I guess it comes down to how many crazy "hot stone chocolate massage" things I get :P

    the misnamed "reroll" button actually just cycles through a limited list of the possible options for your stats.

    several of the possible "rolls" are terrible for each class.

    edit: and if you have a +2 racial bonus to dex (and you should) then 17 is really low.

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Technically it was golden week mostly last week, but one day rolled into this week.

    See the Japanese are awful and if a holiday lands on a weekend they generally don't roll it over on to a work day. So golden week this year was a Monday and a Friday off one week and a Monday off the next week.

    But unlike Japanese people we foreigners are fine with using our paid vacation so we just took the whole week off.

    That's certainly true, but the stories they've covered that I do know about seem legit and I've looked up some others

    I have no doubt some others are blown out of proportion, like I have no idea if the drug cartels really did put a hit out on them when they went to Mexico, but it's not entirely out of the ball park. And they certainly seemed to really go to North Korea, and the NK camps in Siberia, and to the shittiest part of Liberia (and it's pretty hard to overstate how shitty the situation is for girls there)

    the big number is after any bonuses. There will be a little +X next to it if you have a bonus but that is included in the big number.

    If you have a +2 to dex then you really don't want to start with just 17 IMO
