Q: How do I get extra bags in Neverwinter?

I am playing the Neverwinter online RPG and there's plenty of stuff that one needs to keep in their bags: besides the usual loot, enchantments, runestones, seals, emblems and kits seem to take up 90% of my bags. After the starting Adventurer's satchel and Adventurer knapsack, how do I obtain mor...

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, I was watching that interview yesterday.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Absolute Fucker is a creepy fucker.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I...what?

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:14 PM

@Wipqozn Type "Absolute fucker" into google.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I get that you were calling GRRM a an absolute and creepy fucker, I don't understand the why.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn You don't understand how creepy that quote is?

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz No.

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Hint: Roughly 2/3rds of the scenes in his books that involve the act he describes in that interview are non-consensual.)

fbueckert

Wow, that central air guy is really persistent.

Wipqozn

11:19 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't understand why you read his books if you have such contempt for both him and the things he writes about.

fbueckert

@GrumpyLazers Dupe!

Stockholm syndrome

Stockholm syndrome, or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness. The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly 27% of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome. Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not nec...

Sterno

@Wipqozn So he can spoil people.

P.S. - Arya goes blind.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Man, if I was reading the books from the start, and had to wait 5 years for a resolution to that I imagine I'd just as bitter and filled with hate as @LessPop_MoreFizz.

Sterno

@LessPop_MoreFizz Axes entering skulls are usually non-consensual too.

11:24 PM

@Wipqozn Now you're getting it!

Sterno

I was lucky. I didn't discover the series until book 3 came out. And really, it's all been downhill from there anyway.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I didn't discover it until book 5.

OrigamiRobot

I just read plot synopses on Wikipedia

Wipqozn

Book 4 and 5 are lot more enjoyable when there isn't a 5 year wait between them.

StrixVaria

I couldn't finish book 4.

Sconibulus

11:25 PM

@Wipqozn I can see that

StrixVaria

I never plan on going back and reading that series.

Wipqozn

Book 4 is definitely the low point of the series, but Book 5 really wasn't that bad. Although Dany needs to hurry up and get across that fucking sea.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn My money's on her dying before that can happen.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Nah, she'lll get across the ocean before she dies.

If she dies.

My theory is she'll either live and become a good ruler, or she'll go completely batshit and burn alive.

Fluttershy

I dunno, man. She's pretty important to the plot. So it's pretty safe to assume she'll die.

I hate randomly feeling awful because you can't fix it because you don't know the cause.

spugsley

lololol thank you Rogue Legacy and @FAE - first question I've asked in like 6 months

@FAE I'm having that now. I feel like I just want to punch something and then crawl under a rock. No reason.

FAE

@spugsley Yeah, I've pretty much been on the verge of tears all night for no discernable reason.

spugsley

@FAE I'm going to talk @IanPugsley into taking me for an ice cream to see if that helps

FAE

@spugsley Hopefully, have fun!

Q: In World of Warcraft, how do I do the torch catching quest?

I'm in the city of Stormwind in the Mage Quarter where I talked to the Master Fire Eater. The 2nd quest in his training is for you to light torches, throw them up in the air, and catch them four times in a row. However, I can't figure out how to do it. What I can figure out is that standing near ...

Q: What does the headlamp do?

When you upgrade the miner to spelunker, he gets a fancy headlamp. As far as I can tell, when you use it, your mana drains but nothing else seems to happen. What exactly does the headlamp do?

Q: I don't understand the combo mechanic

As interesting as it seems, I just don't really get how to build more advanced combos. I have unlocked two Pressens with PMP, one of them beeing a kick. So I went by to try to refine my 3-punch combo I got from the start and make it a punch-punch-kick combo but that didn't work. I only could plac...

11:49 PM

@spugsley You would have to stop playing Rogue Legacy to go for ice cream.

spugsley

@StrixVaria I know and I hate the idea

StrixVaria

You still haven't accepted my friend request on steam.

spugsley

@StrixVaria OH NOES! Sorry, I haven't stopped playing I'll do it right nowwwwwww

StrixVaria

That is a fair reason.

spugsley

DONE

More and more people on my friends list keep getting that game.

A: Does this site support the computerized versions of board games?

The topic of different sites may overlap. That a site exists is not enough for us to rule part of our topic space as off topic. The launch of Poker.SE didn't make poker off-topic on BCG, and rightly so, because it doesn't matter. Poker is a card game, and thus questions about poker asked there ...

StrixVaria

Now I have 4 concurrent friends playing that game.

badp

Downvote away!

FAE

@badp Do we close questions about the latest NFL title because there's probably very few purple here playing that here <-uh, I imagine you meant "people", not "purple"

> just because it happens to be Klondike

I am unsure what that's supposed to mean.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@FAE Maybe he is referring to the popularity of the latest edition of Madden among Vikings fans?

@FAE Klondike is a solitaire variant

FAE

11:52 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Aaah, okay, thanks.

badp

Klondike is AFAIK the name of the card game that is found in the Solitaire program

Solitaire just means single player

(AFAIK)
