    - so my Beetlejuice and the sand worm costume is a no go? -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 09:55 2

        hmm, on the food groups I might have to add caramel (but that comes in Snickers) -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 10:00
    - This is the right answer. Wear a costume? Cool. Show up with a pillow case in normal clothes? Just go to Walmart and buy a box. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:53

- And don't forget, Kemp is running for Governor against an African-American woman. -- nm - pmb Oct 11, 09:14 2

Destiny 2: got my hunter up to (I think) 511 but don't love some of the weapons I am getting. - JaxSean Oct 11, 08:58 25
- I use some of the new weapons, but I'm really just infusing my classics. -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 09:18 7
  - You are losing out on additional perks if you are still mainly using Y1 gear. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:23 6
    - Yeah, i kept using Uriel's Gift and realized it wasn't doing anything, even after infusing it up to 500+. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 09:26 5
      - How do you mean it wasn't doing anything? -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:42 3
        
        it was doing like 15pts damage. It seemed to be SUPER underpowered. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 10:03 2
        
        PvP? That's probably about right for an auto rifle. If it was PvE, you were likely fighting a lot of higher power level enemies. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 11, 10:14 1
        
        *shrug* started using hand cannons and sidearms now - JaxSean Oct 11, 10:29
      - I hate that they will still drop. I had one day where I got three of them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:31
- Some do, some don't. I got my Warlock up two spots to 547 last night. Then I did the Daily Strike and got a 548 gun where I am already 547. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:03 1
  - I'm also a little grumpy that I did some excursions - JaxSean Oct 11, 09:14
- All powerful drops should be higher, so you were likely just getting legendary drops that were 501. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 11, 09:00 14
  - That's possible. They're both purple. -- nm* - JaxSean Oct 11, 09:07 13
    - Same thing for me as well last night during playtime. With infusion in the state it's in now, I'm not even bothering infusing. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:11 12
      - *blink* Why not? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:13 11
        
        It uses a lot of mastercores and other consumables to infuse a Powerful with an Exotic -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 09:16 9
        
        Yes, I know. I infuse about twice per day. But that is why I am up to 547. I guess if you are okay just switching to whatever random peace you get it - Spawn Oct 11, 09:20 8
        
        Well, like for the sword, 507 to me isn't that much difference than 514. I keep using the 507. - JaxSean Oct 11, 09:25 7
        
        But aren't your drops based on what you are using? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:29 6
        
        No, it's based on your max light as calculated by all of the gear you have on the character, including vaulted stuff. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:33 5
        
        (This is what i thought.) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 11, 10:04
        
        Ah, thanks. That is good to know, especially with 4 items that are only 1 or 2 above the current items. -- nm* - Spawn Oct 11, 09:34 3
        
        So my hunter is maxed at 518.6 via DIM, so my next powerful engram will be at least 519. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:41 2
        
        Yeah, my Warlock is at 547.5 now and I got that 548 last night. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:42 1
        
        The worst is when you get a piece of armour that is lower than the current piece you are wearing even though it's above your max light. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 09:44
        
        Since I stopped playing before mastercores were introduced, I do not have a lot of them. I have 14. Plus I'm pretty planetary mat poor as well. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 11, 09:15
God damn, the second trailer is even better. spoilers - Beaker Oct 11, 08:57 1
- Yeah, of the 26 minutes of trailers before Venom, it was a highlight. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 08:58
The irony being that a lot of the anti do anything about it people have *not* held these positions that long - Reagen Oct 11, 08:56 3

If I believed that Melania thought that any of the abuse she receives was backed up by people having the power to do something about it, I might agree - Super Daddy Princess Oct 11, 08:52 2
- Yes, see B2. Part of bullying is *fear*. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 08:53 1
  - part of it yes, but there is bullying that is not about fear. - groiny Oct 11, 09:03
ScarJo gets $15 Mill for the Black Widow Movie -- (link) - Remlik Oct 11, 08:49 28

  - to play 1 character? -- nm - decline Oct 11, 09:14
  - have I said yet that I love the "HER" fading into "A HERO" in the trailer? it is so effective. -- nm - Mandy 95% Oct 11, 09:14 2
    - Same. That was my single biggest takeaway from the first viewing of the trailer. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 11, 09:16 1
      - I think it's even more effective now (I just watched again) bc kavanaugh (and the elevator confrontation). -- nm - Mandy 95% Oct 11, 09:17
  - 7??? - groiny Oct 11, 09:12 13
    - Meh, Sebastian Stan signed on for 9. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 09:18 12
      - I have not seen the most updated Marvel roadmap, but it always made sense about Bucky - groiny Oct 11, 09:21 11
        
        Pretty sure she is going to be the new linch pin. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:23 10
        
        Avengers 4, her movie, 2 sequels probably than likely shows up in Panther 2, maybe a Spiderman or Doc Strange sequel and whatever blowout they have - Beaker Oct 11, 09:24 9
        
        will strange get a sequel, do you think? -- nm - Mandy 95% Oct 11, 09:29 1
        
        Yes, it was confirmed in June or July. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:30

        I hope the Kree Skrull War is Avengers 5 & 6 -- nm - Beaker Oct 11, 09:35 5
