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.

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.

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.

Peter, if you peruse the post below, beginning with the fourth sentence of the first post, you will learn how to map-jump with a mounted High Elf. It's actually quite fun.

I'm curious as to whether or not this hidden, and mostly inaccessible, special mount vendor is still present in the game, while playing with the base game inclusive of the CM Patch. Of course, to locate this "hidden" Mount Vendor, one would, of necessity, be required to map-jump. I have been playing for quite some time with the Purist Fixpack and have been missing some of the elements which were present in the game, as augmented by the community. I am now starting to lean toward playing Sacred 2 with Vanilla Drops; this is because the plethora of Community-added items (from my perspective) makes it more difficult to obtain a full set of any specific armor, as there exists such a diverse variety of armors, totaling quite a vast number of pieces. To find other specific gear also requires more patience, as there is so much of it which may drop or be found at any given time.

Yesterday, to celebrate the new year, my mother, sister, and brother-in-law visited from down around Houston. I invested all morning and into the afternoon smoking a delicious, tender beef brisket and some "curl your toes" beef ribs for supper. We all were blessed to share good times together. They'll be heading back home today. Why do such times always fly by so quickly? I hope that all of our Dark Matters Members also had a wonderful New Year's Day celebration and that you all made some great memories!

Here's hoping that each and every one of you have a fun, a prosperous, and a memorable 2025!

One must have a very steady hand for such detailed work and a solid plan in place to have so much realism as a result. It's rewarding when an artist looks with satisfaction at the fruits of their labor, isn't it?

car => Formula 1!

Yes => Tony Kaye (Keyboards)

I takes quite a lot of practice to produce the results shown in your photographs. The metallic surfaces look so realistic and the paint is applied so well. I am indeed impressed. Respect!

sell out => tickets How many times have tickets sold out for a movie or event you wanted to see the first showing or opening of?

unmemorable => Sacred 3

On Christmas Eve, we traveled to visit my wife's family over in Louisiana and shared a delicious dinner. We enjoyed a huge buffet with homemade delights of gumbo, chili, jalapeno muffins, spicy-hot crackers, and chocolate cake for dessert. My sister-in-law makes some green bean casserole that will curl your toes, Rommel!

wolverine => Deadpool In all honesty, I'm not a big fan of the crude language in that film.

Dinner and the entire Christmas experience was a rich blessing, Rommel! It would be wonderful if such moments could be frozen in time and replayed at will. Christmas shared with family (and friends) is always the best of times; such occasions make for the most meaningful of memories, ones which are forever cherished by our hearts. I hope that your memories of this Christmas will keep your hearts warm until next December and beyond. Happy New Year, my friend!

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Nice work! You did an outstanding job giving the figure a professional and battle-hardened appearance.

Well, my High Elf slays bosses so rapidly and her Spell Resistance and Grand Invigoration are so well tweaked, that it's hard to determine what those nasty varmints might be capable of regarding the reflection of damage. I am aware that The Dark Prince has the ability to Block Combat Arts, and like the the White Griffin, he also has the ability to Deactivate Buffs. It would be helpful if there is information which is missing, about damage reflection and other special abilities by additional bosses, for it to be documented in the Sacred Wiki.

Damage Mitigation may be found on certain rare chest armor, even for the High Elf. It is also a feature of the shield, Glacial Defender and jewelry such as Gruma's Talisman, Darwargon's Circlet, and Tanit's Collar. Not to mention the hidden, "Admin Only," item I found which may be downloaded here.
