Hooyaah

We all do, my friend. We all do.

I was very young when I first heard this song. I hadn't heard it for such a long time. It has bewitched me yet again; it's so very captivating.

Rommel, I make time for the fans. Thanks are appreciated, yet the thought of knowing that I have done something of benefit to others is its own reward. There is yet another helpful tip that, I believe, our members will appreciate: There is a Sharpening option available for NVIDIA GPU users which will, potentially, enhance the visual sharpness and overall appeal of their games for free. If interested, do this: IMPORTANT: If you are not comfortable making an edit to your registry, please do not continue. Making a Restore Point beforehand before any registry edit is a very good idea. To accomplish this task, just go to System Properties; access the System Protection Tab, then Create. Type a description (I prefer a date xx_xx_xxxx) then save the restore point. Now for the fun part: 1) If it is open, close the NVIDA Control Panel. 2) Search for Registry Editor, right click, and Run As Administrator. 3) By using the drop downs or copy/pasting and pressing Enter, navigate to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm\FTS 4) Find and adjust EnableGR535 from a preset value of 1 to a new value of 0 5) Now close the registry editor without any other changes. (Your new value of 0 will be saved on exit) Now, to add that really nice free boost to your game visuals which I mentioned. You may do the following: 6) Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and you will find a new setting under Manage 3D Settings at the top listed as Image Sharpening. 7) Use the drop-down; set Sharpen to a value of 0.70 in Global Settings. For Sacred 2, I found that a value of 0.33 is better, so set that in your Program Settings for Sacred 2. Set Ignore Film Grain to a value of .017 (Do not tick-mark the GPU Scaling box in this drop down. Leave it empty.) 8) Save your changes and close the NVIDIA Control Panel. NOTE: The new Sharpening setting may be switched off in either the Global Settings, and for a specific game or application, in the Program Settings, as best suits your own needs. ENJOY.

home made Texan pie = Texas homemade pecan pie (By the way, it's pronounced "puh-khan" not "pea-can.") Yep, it's a thing! (And a lip-smackin,' toe-curling, tongue-tantalizing, terrifically tasty treat to boot!) Make a pie yourself. Just check here: insanelygoodrecipes.com

For our members who have a somewhat newer NVIDIA GPU and find it a bit of a daunting task to optimally adjust your Control Panel Settings for Sacred 2, view the screen captures below. Your Global Settings will most probably be different; it will probably be best to have many of the options set to be controlled by newer games automatically under that tab. If Sacred 2 doesn't show under the Program Settings tab, you may add it. Search for Sacred 2's folder location and select it. After adopting the settings shown below, I trust that you will experience smooth performance at Ultra settings. The beauty of the game, now so augmented, will present itself in all of its colorful glory and enticing splendor.

love cake => baklava Baklava will do. Well, if there's no homemade Texas pecan pie.

Piemont Cherry => rich

Corinthian Leather => Rich! (1980) Corinthian Leather, now that's rich!

revenge => served cold Full Scene Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl_y5wTeJtk

Well, Rommel, it's quite obvious that you were well cared for this New Year's. The smoked beef brisket and ribs which I prepared are but a tasty memory now. However, if you are ever down in Texas for a while, give me a heads-up and I'll make sure that your toes are properly curled.

crystal = crystalline entity

perspective => drawing (image 3) My University drawing instructor once, after observing my drawing of the class' human skeleton, told me that I should enter the field of medical illustration as a career. I didn't select that path, although I did fabricate an anatomically correct human skull from my own special blend of clay, sand, and grog. It is now on display at a local Natural Science Museum. (image 1 below) (Note: The above photo shows the ceramic skull in more detail. While the perspective drawing below is not one which I produced.)

perception => reality Actually, quantum entanglement is about measurement. Once either particle is observed, the two particles exhibit their opposing properties and become "entangled" instantaneously, no matter how far apart they are.

entangled = Quantum Entanglement

I believe that the "little maniac," to whom you are referring is Zaman, Zamander's son, of the quest, The Runemaster's Son. When you want to know the identity of a character or NPC, just press and hold the Alt key. Interestingly, sometimes Zaman simply appears outside of Sloeford and out of context for no readily apparent reason. I thank you for your report; I hope that you enjoyed your side trek.
