Exactly what I was thinking

Feel like it’s a no win situation. Gave a couple times to this account when they were claiming imminent death from hypoglycemia - at least enough for a couple meals and to get out of immediate danger. I got absolutely blown up over the next couple days with repeated “i’m going to die of hypoglycemia, please give more” messages. Felt pretty suspicious, sad to see it’s been a recurring problem

I don’t know how you can prevent scams without leveling unnecessary scrutiny at people who really benefit from mutual aid.

Seeing the Bridget “this is femboy erasure!” discourse return for Ralsei

you’re not ready for it

Apparently, according to internet randos, he was stabbed recently

talkin some mad shit for someone in MARANAX INFERNUX range

Despite what the liberal media wants you to believe, yes, whales are fish

Technically, phylogenetically speaking, all mammals (including humans), “reptiles” (not real), “birds” (dinosaurs), and all tetrapods in general, are also fish - which itself is a made up paraphyletic group

Love Princess Weekes, she’s great

Battlesong was my favorite track as a kid - would be sick to see animated

Mage Hand does have its exploits but they’re minor in the context of all the other exploits in the game - it’s just a weird and restrictive decision that doesn’t really line up with how the other spells are balanced. That’s really getting into the weeds though.

I actually did like the supply based long rest system for what it was, but rests as a mechanic in general I could take or leave. I suppose they needed a way to force plot progression and passage of time and long rests are a decent way to do it.

Camp events and character chats are fun and I always looked forward to companion stories unfolding (when the scripting didn’t break )

I have almost the opposite opinion on Baldur’s Gate 3. I played Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I didn’t like the “surfaces” mechanic in the system built for it, I hated it in BG3. Cantrips dropping ice, acid, fire, electric surfaces ends up making certain encounters a slog to get through.

Other seemingly arbitrary calls Larian made on mechanics like skill check crit failures, mage hand’s once-per-rest cooldown, literally every enemy having at-will truesight if they think an invisible PC is around, etc. are implemented in really bizarre ways. That said, many changes in BG3 really do work well: movement, jumping, throwing, and pushing I quite like.

I still really liked the game but in general I think accuracy to the tabletop origin is value-neutral. Tyranny is great though, no argument there

I regret to inform you that the weed IPA is a common thing

hardly know’er

and Xijinpingist was still a moderator when they finally got banned for this shit lmao

At least action was taken quicker relative to the last problematic mod

Eh…they’d posted weird race essentialist shit about China before and didn’t catch a ban

I have to imagine it’s mostly early access concerns. The game is still very fun but it’s also equally unfinished - I expect they’ll add some more viable creature deterrents as the development continues
