A GW2 Player's Beginner's Guide to GW1

  • Damn you, Hooty

  • Game informer is back‽ Exciting

  • Does it come in red? 😂

    Definitely though, might need to look around

  • Agreed! Not even my favorite color, but it looks so good on a phone.

  • NLD: red

  • That's a vibe, very spooky

  • Holy shit, that's incredible.

    "And also.... It was loud as hell"

  • F4mi is great, definitely check out the web-cam video when you have a chance! One of my favorites

  • Valid point, good clarification!

  • $70M "vanishes" to print pennies each year as it costs nearly 4¢ to make 1 penny. (Doesn't actually vanish, some goes to penny maker's pockets* - see reply below)

    Does the president really have the power to stop penny printing?

    Maybe.

    The president is to execute laws passed by congress. Congress passes vague laws.

    One example is what coins to print. However, how many to print is left out, just that it should be "the necessary amount"

    So Trump decided that the necessary amount was 0.

    However, if Congress disagrees with the interpretation, then it goes to the courts.

    The courts will ask if there is a precedent.. which for the penny specifically - there isn't really.

    Existing precedent is about rarely used speciality / collector coins which previous presidents used the same method to reduce / eliminate production.

    So maybe this will kill the penny, but also maybe not. If it does kill the penny, it could set an interesting precedent for future presidents to kill off anything congress hasn't been explicit on.

    ... I hope all my president / precedents are correct lol.

  • With just how much betting surrounds the NFL now too, I doubt it gets better

  • Why can't this be the timeline where Bill and Ted bring peace and harmony (and mini golf scores way down).

    Possible Steam Fix for Lagging Mouse / Game Freezing

    Seems that the most recent Steam upgrade has caused some Linux user's game to lag after ~30 minutes. Restarting fixes the issue

    However, there are other fixes that may eliminate the need to restart like adding to the launch arguments of the game:

    What has been your favorite or most memorable GW2 moment?

    Could be an expansion release, guild drama, random encounter, etc.

    Mine would be when I was a newer player doing a Twilight Arbor dungeon run with veterans and I enabled "Plant Mode".

    I was the classic Longbow ranger with Stalker who had no idea wtf was going on. We got to the wardens on Leurent's path (up) and it was not going well, I kept going down. The others in my party kept reviving me but in doing so were downed and then killed. The champ probably had about 2% health left when I was the last one standing and I am sweating IRL - mainly nervous that I'm going to get chewed out by the other party members if I can't finish the fight.

    One of the party members types "Just spam all your buttons!" so I start clicking anything and everything (yes, was a mouse ability clicker back then... how times have changed).

    I don't think I had ever used my elite at that point, mainly because I didn't understand it. I just knew it said something about plants. Ended up clicking [Take Root](htt

    Perfect for a keychain (unsure if the bands included were meant for what I chose to use them for... But it works)

    Flashlight Identification

    Alt text: Image of the character James Holden with a flashlight in S04 E7 "A Shot in the Dark" of The Expanse.

    Hello all - hoping to find out if this is a real flashlight or not. In season 4 episode 7 of "The Expanse" James Holden has a flashlight that toggles between a normal light and UV (seen below).

    I know often props are just props, but was curious if this was available as a real light.

    One Time 2x Astral Acclaim from Dailies

    You can receive 2x Astral Acclaim once if you haven't bought the new expansion yet.

    Process:

    1.) Finish dailies

    2.) Log out

    3.) Add expac to account

    4.) Login

    5.) Repeat dailies for more Astral Acclaim

    It won't give you more AP and it only works once, so not anything too useful - but wanted to share.

    Madden 24 (Windows)

    Just a quick review of Madden 24 on the Steam Deck (Windows 10 - BaldSeaLion Guide).

    Quick Summary: Overall the game runs quite well on the Steam Deck. There are dips and slight freezes, but some of that is just the poor performance with the game (Same issues on my desktop - 2080/5800X3D).

    The Radeon control panel monitoring has it at 28fps average with occasional dips to 24 with the default GPU settings. I haven't tried a lower resolution with upscaling.

    Everything in the game is functional and I'm able to play franchise mode and online.

    Using Steam Deck Tools I can easily swap to Xbox360 controller mode and did not need to re-keybind anything.

    I did initially have CryoUtilities on with the default settings, but that was causing the game to hang every 10 seconds or so. Withou
