Sylvia Feketekuty: Emmrich is possibly in his early sixties.

All of us degenerates: [Vibrates even harder]

I was having this conversation with a friend a few days ago, where I strongly asserted he was giving 60s, despite what the character sheet said. My friend said I was confused because I'm Italian, and that an Italian 60 is a Germanic 50. Fine. I was right though. He's in his 60s.

#emmrich volkarin #DATV #Good news for my increasingly old ass #That makes it still a sexy age gap!

The switch from gentle to commanding in his voice took me out oh my god sir PLEASE

#emmrich volkarin #See the thing for me is #The way his eyes linger on rook before he glances down at what he's doing with his hands

Emmrich is aged up erudite Gomez Addams and I cannot imagine what the fuck this scene is like for people not trying to fuck him

#dragon age the veilguard #dragon age veilguard #emmrich volkarin #Emmrich #dragon age 4 #Emmrich is the kinkiest romance I've ever played in a game #The older man professor trope with no horrific abusive subtext!#He's not actually a gross bad man!#The Gomez stache come on

Lucanis drinks fresh roasted single estate fair trade coffee like the rich Noble moneybags he is

Emmrich sips tea prepared by a TA like the tenured professor at a posh university that he is

Neve drinks whatever rot gut caffeinated plant juice she can find like the volunteer registered nurse she is

#dragon age the veilguard #lucanis dellamorte #emmrich volkarin #neve gallus #This game should be required playing for health care workers look at this group of grown adults team building through the apocalypse #dragon age veilguard

Tim Cain's Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins -- They're the shadow king's favorite!

1 and 2/3 cup flour

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp baking powder

2 eggs

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup sugar

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup pumpkin (half of a 16 oz can)

1/2 cup (one stick) butter, melted

preheat oven to 350. grease muffin tins (one dozen regular size) or use baking cups. mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Break eggs into another bowl. add pumpkin and butter and whisk until blended. stir in chocolate chips. pour over dry ingredients and stir until just blended. do NOT overstir! scoop batter into tins and bake 20-25 minutes. after cooling, keep muffins wrapped in plastic to avoid drying.

I'm sure people have pointed it out already, but

Tim Cain is one of the creators of Fallout

and he is an overall delight

I am a video game developer, mostly known for creating Fallout. I plan to use this channel to tell stories about game development, including

Solas: I was TRYING to simply MOVE Elgar'nan and Ghilain'nain to a better prison so that I might spare the world their evil before the Veil inevitably collapses and then this PUNK INTERRUPTED ME because the IDIOT thought I was DESTROYING THE WORLD!

Lavellan: Wow, Solas, that sucks. You know, it really is unfortunate that you never had, say, an extremely powerful girlfriend who runs the most powerful paramilitary organization in the world willing to listen to you and support you. If, say, you had someone who knew the truth about who you were and still loved you and wanted nothing more than to help you fix things without killing tons of people, that would have been really useful, huh? Like, imagine, for a minute, that there was someone actually willing to listen to all of your explanations, LIKED doing that in fact, who also just so happened to have countless resources at hand to help you better handle the Evanuris and their prisons and would have also kept Varric and Harding from sabotaging you with a word.

Solas: ....

Lavellan: Wow, it sure does SUCK for you that you never had any means to get necessary help for all of your plans. Your always 100% foolproof plans that have never gone catastrophically wrong before. Gosh, if only SOMEONE might have been willing to help!

Solas: Vhenan, I--

Lavellan: ---I mean, how could you have known that the people of this world are far more resourceful and useful and driven than you give them credit for? Your plans blowing up in your face never went wrong because you underestimated people before, right?

Solas: Please, I---

Lavellan: Gee, if only there was a world in which SOMEONE could have given you an army of genius mages to guard and help your ritual. And help you find a way to take down the Veil without an apocalypse. Shit, would that not have been SO HELPFUL??? Gee, you could have gotten rid of Ghilain'nain and Elgar'nan and the others in minutes then went home to a hot meal and pussy. Too bad that was never on the table for you. Maybe in another world...

I'm so sorry but I'm currently smoking enough weed to make the back pain stop after a typical night on my unit, and I scrolled past this image and I literally had to go back and look again because I was so sure that was Al Pacino in the Devils Advocate and it also makes one of raphaels more popular moments a reference explicitly to it. Look I kill it in Photoshop but my back is killing me and anyone that sees my vision needs no better image

Gotta adjust a few things, mouth size, etc. Pull out the cheekbones without the cheeks, darker eyes and hair etc but like... It's him Isn't it it's

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I'm someone else's network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.
