Thread #1093964

ain't nothing sunny about it over here

what is wrong with me I need to get it together

I had all these plans for the weekend.
A list of productive things I was going to do.

Leg day at the gym, and then go to the picture framers to get this canvas print I got in Africa framed in glass so I could hang it on the wall. and then I needed to go to the post office, both to send some weeaboo trinkets I picked up in Singapore to an old friend, and also because they keep sending me the previous tenants letters and I've got a whole stack of them and I have no idea what to do with them.
I was going to go to bikram yoga and then have dinner with an old friend.

I didn't do any of that.
Spent the entire time eating and sleeping.
barely got out of bed.

Told my friend some BS excuse about car troubles so I wouldn't be able to make it to see him.

you know what I did instead?
i ate a whole saucepan full of pasta and was watching Family Guy clips on youtube
i don't even like family guy
and the pasta was cold.

Just fuckin... festering on the floor
wrapped up in an old blanket.
Trying to sleep as many hours as I could.
and then switch my brain off when I couldn't. Put myself in a food coma and watch mindless nonsense videos.

And now it's monday morning and i'm still just.. dirty and lethargic.
Meant to log in to my Work Computer to work remotely soon. we'll see how that one goes.

Well don't forget that sick days can be taken for mental health days too
Some times you just need a little extra time to recover when your brain goes haywire

It really does get easy to feel awful though, yeah, when you burn through your whole weekend doing nothing you want to get done
I always try to explain to normal people how hard it is to have things you want to do versus what you actually end up doing but they never seem to get it
They can just translate "want to do" into "get done" so easily that the two are basically the same thing to them
When for me the gap between the two can feel incomprehensibly vast at times
And so instead of doing productive things on the weekend I just whittle it away doing piss all

wait what the fuck the dope sword I found ISN'T the nightsong

>>1093968
Yeah good call. good call.
I just texted my boss about taking a 'wellbeing day'.

Maybe put some clothes on and go for a walk
Just around the block, to the conbini, whatnot
Something to get some fresh air and hopefully sunlight
And shake up what you've been doing the past two days

a good walk can fix many things
i agree

watch me... dance
dance the night away

my heart could be burnin but you won't see it on my face

sunlight is CANCELLED

i fucking wish
it's been 105+ all week
and it's gonna be 105+ all week
that's 40C

its 30C rn
40C is absurd
the planet is cookin

And it's likely to get worse before it has any chance at getting better

>>1093977
>he thinks 30 is hot

30 is def heats over here
we don't push much past 30 under normal circumstance s if ever
and usually we don't make it past 28 but of course this climate is fucked and here's the new normal

Also 30 in a dry heat versus 30 in a humid hellhole are two totally different experiences
I can go around pretty comfortably in the low thirties if humidity is like, sub-40%
But if humidity is 70+% I start to fucking drown

Bro it's costing 3 times as much money to get my print framed as i paid for the actual art..
What a scam.

>>1093980

Suck it up princess

there is a spot interior BC called lytton which burned down two years ago when it hit 49C one day during the heat dome
i wonder what remains of that town

>>1093982
Suck it up, princess

>>1093983
More like Lytton'ng on fire

>Lytton is a village of about 250 residents in southern British Columbia, Canada, on the east side of the Fraser River and primarily the south side of the Thompson River, where it flows southwesterly into the Fraser.

250 was the pop estimate in 2016
i can't imagine there's anyone left living in the giant pile of ash and firefighting residue
should i edit

news story
>A shallow dirt hole fills the space where Dean Adams once had a home.
He lost his house in the June 2021 Lytton wildfire that destroyed most of the village.
But almost two years later, rebuilding has not yet begun.
“There’s a lot of people that are really frustrated,” said Adams. “Me, I’m more depressed than anything ‘cause nothing is happening and two years is too long.”
>“We have to get things going and people back into their homes,” he said, explaining that many other people from the community are feeling the same way.

we have to rebuild it
so we can burn it all down again

Went to the post office. went to the pharmacy. went to the picture-framer. cleaned the kitchen.

It's nice getting all these trivial little chores done.
Makes me feel back in control.

work was pretty chill about me taking some time off
but they weren't... super duper stoked about it.

I've been a bit of a shit worker recently.
unplanned leave. asking for extensions on deadlines.

It cannot be helped.

Look after yourself first
You can't be a good worker if you're falling apart

little wins feel good

i have been in a bit of a spiral of not getting anything done the past few weeks, gotta break the pattern

i feel like hiring someone to clean up my place might be a huge boost
but i feel weird about it
but everyone tells me it's the way to go

>>>/@Tiffany_Gomas/1690805418635952128
that mfer's apology is NOT REAL

I've been kind of in a slump since getting back from my trip in early July
Just kind of stuck in autopilot, too empty of resources to do anything in particular
I need a better every day life than what I'm stuck with

>>1093995
what no tell me it passes and its going to get better

>>1093993
Yeah you should feel weird about it
Just do it yourself yuh lazy cunt.

>>1093996
Can't promise anything!
Mind you I've also been kind of drained by other stuff, like my cat's medical issues
And my job's been kind of a shithand lately

But a part of it is definitely that I got to do all the fun and interesting things that I can actually derive satisfaction from for a week straight, and then went back to getting none of that dopamine happy magic after getting back and going back to work

>>1093997
no u

i could clean the mirrors and mop the floors
OR
i could buy a cool new boardgame to play with myself

>>1093999
I do do it myself.

>>1094000
sometimes you've gotta treat yourself.

>>1093998
What even is life

>>1094001
ah so thats why you got no wnergy left for errands

I could up the duoloxitine dosage again
go back to 120mg

but is that really any way to go through life? just numb and indifferent?
should i be trying to.. fix problems instead of just
not caring

Not that I'm fixing any problems if I go off the deep end completely.

?
A chemical fix on a short term basis?
just to get the BALL ROLLING again

Well you've got today off
Maybe don't go full slump, so that you're not just retreading the past two days
But try and let yourself relax, let go of at least what's stressing you out for the time being
That's the advice I got when I was bemoaning how I was feeling
You've already been on the right track with all the little things helping you get back control, so just keep doing what feels right along those lines

more like retreading the past fuckin 30 years

Yes.
I know what I need to do.
I have dug myself out of much worse holes in the past.

Can worry about the big picture later once things have stabilized a bit more.

and ok third of all,
I'm not BEMOANING.
I am attempting to express complex emotions through text and writing as a form of constructive outlet.
Much like an artist.
or a poet.
The languishing creative genius.
With anime breasts in the thumbnail.

Well anime breasts make everything better

Absolutely.
All the great writers throughout history would have included them in the margins of their works of they had the technology.

"Illustrated booba are the opiate of the masses" - Karl Marx

Well then write me down as someone who wants to be sedated

Although honestly opium really is the opiate of the masses

Marxism is full of destructive ideas.

Destruction isn't inherently bad!
Some times you gotta break things down to build something anew

the world if anime were never invented

>>1094017
Jesus christ how horrifying

Yeah look at that disgustingly fake sky
What kind of future hellworld would we have ended up in where we needed a whole-ass fake sky

in the animeless hellscape everyone chooses to be plugged into a simulation.

Anime is like the small poison we take to keep ourselves from downing the whole bottle
If we can engage in some light escapism we don't feel compelled to run away entirely into a simulated fantasy

Checkmate, mr marx

I do feel better now.
Thank you, friends.
I am going to eat a healthy meal and then go to the gym.

That sounds like a good time
The meal at least
I'm still not sold on the gym philosophy

I had some more of my butter chicken for dinner
Not probably the healthiest option, especially since I eat it with rice and naan
But it is homecooked and hella tasty

>>1094024
>>>/watch?v=sNhXgwVsW60

You won't persuade me with your foul propaganda
If romance anime can't brainwash me into getting a girlfriend, a fitness anime won't brainwash me into going to the gym!

gymcels dont want you to know this but you can get prob 80% of the benefits of hitting the gym with 15 min max a day at home

what do you do, body weight?

you can get super strong with bodyweight stuff yes, but also that you can buy used weights very cheap, but then ofc space issue
gyms work for a lot of people i feel because of the whole routine itself, think about it, you're paying for a membership, you have to drive 10-15 minutes there, lots of people around etc so it pressures you to do it
otherwise at home you need more motivation

>>1094027
You know you can save time watching movies if you just read the plot summary on Wikipedia

>>1094030
I have a friend who does that with anime and it drives me crazy.

sometimes there's is slack needed to be cut

there doesn't seem to be any real downside to hitting a long rest whenever you feel like it in BG3

>>1094043
Good to hear it buddy
Some times a rest is what you need

You've all heard about the bag of holding, but in BG3 you get an effective CHEST of holding, and I think that's pretty fucking cool
It's not bottomless, but it may as well be

...holy shit Elminster is so cool I might just ditch the githraki
If he's a companion
And I think he probably is

jesus fucking christ I nearly had a heart attack
I'd arranged my camp storage into dedicated little boxes, one for books, one for valuables, one for this, one for that
And when I changed zone, obviously, new camp
So I went back to fetch the boxes, and they weren't there

But they were in the camp stash

another scorcher

It's pretty comfortable here
I think the most intense of summer has likely passed here
And it's the first year out of three that my apartment's AC hasn't broken down in the hottest of it!

Damn that 12yo came up with a hard one

I think it's pretty easy
There's literally no downside to picking the blue pill, unless self-annihilation and taking everyone with you is your goal

>>1094082
Bro i don't fuckin trust people

>>1094083
If you don't trust people then it doesn't matter what you pick, since your lack of trust seems to make you think an insufficient number of people are going to pick the blue pill, which means both blue and red pickers are going to die
So you might as well pick blue since the outcome doesn't matter

>>1094084
The red pickers don't die that's the point

Oh yeah I parsed that wrong whoops
I dunno, I think if you take a broad cross-section of the human race, most people don't want to endanger other people's lives
That doesn't even have to be a matter of trust that's just that human beings are cowards and don't want that guilt on their conscience
Like even taking into account the edgelord nature of shitheads on the Internet, the blue pill option still won out in the poll
I think in some fantastical real execution of the gambit, it would skew even more for the blue side since actual lives are on the line

now that you've thought about it for this

the blender question and the pill question are the same question

this reminds me of "The Country That Got Exactly What It Deserved" episode of Kino no Tabi.

>>1094087
Joke's on you I didn't have to think about it since I was on the side of collective cooperation both times

Also my life has such little value to me that it doesn't matter if you all endanger me with your selfishness I'm gonna stick to my moral guns

thats six hours(6!!!) of film condensed into 35 minutes

oh man

the fuck is a creche?

its a cache of crepes

Blend me up daddy

i learned the word creche from reading Hyperion
i think it's like
a coffin

in hyperion they were the like hyperspace beds

oh i think you would put people's body in the creche then jump to warp speed instantly killing them
then resurrect them at the destination

my buddy was talking about Hyperion like a month ago
I think I have a copy of it somewhere

>Nichijou was 12 years ago

>august 14 2023 was one day ago

>>1094102
Makes you feel old, doesn't it

truly

I might reroll my character into something other than a rogue, but I kinda also don't wanna
Rogue just doesn't really seem to have the sauce I was looking for
I wanted high damage low hp pool, glass cannon shit, but instead I got kinda middling (though consistent) damage and a middling hp pool
I also have some banging swords now, and I don't wanna not be able to use those anymore either

rogue is the squishiest melee class

what are you stats?
you could always take out some con and put it somewhere else to increase damage and make yourself squishier + increase AC

>>1094106
my sheet looks like this
I mean it's not like I'm BAD or anything, I just kinda thought I'd be doing a lot more

you would do a lot more damage if you switched from thief to assassin
other than that, it's just about getting better weapons
your stat distribution is good
one option would be to move points to get DEX to 19 and then at level 8, take a feat that increases dex by 1 to get it to 20
but other than that/assassin your best bet is just better weapons
you're probably already abusing sneak attack

My dex is actually 17, I just have gloves that crank it "To 18"
>>1094108
I mean I get one sneak attack effectively every round because of my sword that autoadvantages in anything but daylight and also just ganging up on people, but I'm just fucking annoyed I only get the one attack (technically 1+2 due to dual wield) each turn
I wanna have another main hand attack per turn

yeah thats not gonna happen as a rogue
if you want an extra attack each turn, you're looking at level 5 fighter or barbarian
one option might be to multiclass
5 in fighter for an extra attack, 2 in rogue for sneak attack

Hm, multiclass is actually kinda tempting, yeah
I'll at least consider it

you could also multiclass into war priest cleric
war priest cleric gets the ability to spend a charge on an extra attack
although they
they're limited so you have to manage your resources with them, unlike with fighter/barb

honestly I rarely even use the extra abilities for my guys, cause half of that shit is like "refreshes on long rest" so I don't wanna use them before I come across an actually difficult fight
And then when I do, at least so far, the big guy's AC has been so absurd using the special abilities ends up being meaningless

I mean I dish out enough damage in a turn with just the regular m1 attack, anyway
it's not like I'm doing bad damage, it's just I expected more from a rogue cause I heard the action economy goes crazy with them

not as much in BG3
bg3 uses adapted rules to make it more balanced

ah, fair enough

Big Guy 3?
thought it was big guy 4

if you're enjoying bg3 though you should get into actual tabletop
it's super fun

in the pathfinder game i was running on sunday, the boss, a nabasu demon showed up and gave this monologue about how thankful he was to the party for freeing him and that he'd reward them by killing them
and tilde's character did like a spinning jump over a table and shot the boss three times in the head and killed him before he even got to take his turn

and there were these dretches that just kept trying to summon more dretches and failing
super funny

>>>/watch?v=NPdE0KBrjhQ

There is something really funny about my Cleric, a cleric of Shar specifically, wielding the particular mace she's got
Damn thing is an anti-undead flashlight

i have sent my phone to the shadow realm

>>1094124
how did you manage that one?

idk but it's trippy as hell

how do only *0.2% of players* have this?

Well I'm about to close out Act 2
Damn game really ended up being super good
Hell I might even replay it after I'm done, roll some other build or maybe a premade character
I hope there's some way to skip the ship at the start though, that shit's fucking BORING once you've done it

somehow I'm not very confident

Incredibly, half of all players who even made it to act 2 bodied the first real big bad boss, judging by the achievements
Not just killed it, but actually stomped it

they could be playing on the easier difficulty
but i don't think bg3 is a particularly hard game honestly

I mean it's just surprising to me because only 10% even made it to act 2 to begin with, from what I can tell
And practically NOBODY speech'd their way through the toll house

The toll house is optional though I guess

i speeched my way through the toll house on my main save
although i guess my current game is becoming my main save
i'm stronger now in act 1 than i was in act 2 in my other game

what level are you?

about to be level 6
about 1k more xp

IN ACT 1?

yeah
i even missed out on a ton of quests

I didn't even know they had that much exp to squeeze in act 1
Do you just have to mainline combat?
Like forego peace, and accept it was always going to be violence?

no, it's just about talking people and doing quests
you dont necessarily get more xp for killing compared to peace
although this is a dark urge playthrough so sometimes i do hurt people
but dark urge is more like "man it'd feel really good to torture a helpless person right now" than it is "i'm gonna kill everyone hahahahahaha!!!!!!!"

Maybe I should go back there and stomp shit
Surely I still get the EXP
Also where the fuck did I get that wand to raise that husband?
I don't remember picking it up, but I apparently had it

there is a lot of content in act 1 that i didnt do in my other save
i missed out on some quests in this one though since i dealt with the grove too early

bitter divorce comes from the room after ethel
the one with all the weird potions that you should definitely not drink

Oh, that explains it
(I grabbed it before I even fought her cause I'm a sneaky bitch)

I actually still have those potions
I have a dedicated box in camp where I just stash random seemingly kinda sorta contextually useful
Just anything without a generic name
And another chest has every book i ever found, but I stopped filling that up cause I realized lugging books around is meaningless, since I'll never read any of that shit
I hoard basically everything that's got a colored outline
Unless it's just like +1 or +2 or something
If it's gota name, it's in a dedicated box in case I ever change companions (I will never, this rogue-fighter-barb-cleric combo slaps)

I will actually probably be a bit less powerful once I emerge from the underdark though
A LOT of my DPS on myself, the rogue, has come from my main weapon guaranteeing advantage when there's shadows, which are plentiful in the underdark, but less so outside in the sun
Might swap it out, but even its raw stats are better than anything else I've found

...maybe I could reroll my build and perk myself into heavy weapons, be a rogue with a damn battleaxe or something, emerging from the shadows and cleaving mfers in half

actually shit I don't think I CAN go back to act 1 anymore
fug

i havent been to act 3 but maybe you can get back to those act 1 areas in act 3
idk
but it does warn you when you go to act 2 that you should have everything straightened out

in my next game i might play as a rogue/ranger multiclass
and focus on sneak attacking with bows

>>1094198
True, but I was able to go back until I initiated the moon tower raid

oh interesting
i didnt notice
although i havent done the raid yet

i've got like 2 more quests i want to finish and then i'll head to act 2
hoping i can recruit minthra soon

also hopefully my butler will come back soon

When are we going to put the butt back in butler

Off to act 2!!

I'm working from home today since Laz got some shots and I want to monitor him.
working from home lol

HOLY SHIT I CAN JUST do invisibility for 10 turns as AN ACTION as a rogue at lvl 9
This damn hat I've got no longer serves a purpose if I don't even gotta rest between uses

oh it's a short rest
REALLY wish it would actually consistently indicate cooldowns whenever a skill is like, shown
Still, 10 turn invis every short rest is real good shit

Though granted, sneaking is overall kinda stinky in this game cause there's rarely a reason to
I get sneak attacks whenever I have advantage, and initiating fights from stealth, while useful, also means EVERYONE ELSE's turn is wasted most of the time

Why does it waste everyone else's turn? Because they're far away?

Because when they then enter combat, they keep having none actions and only movement+bonus

Also I have been offered POWER
I will take POWER
Juice me up, magic person

>2 enemies that can rez undead enemies
>in a fight with 7 undead enemies
>they can rez each other

didya find nightsong yet?

no, i entered act 2 30 minutes ago

ah alright
I do not remember this fight you're mentioning though
Maybe you went through the aboveground
I went in the underdark


OOOH OH RIGHT yeah now I remember
the two big boys with the ghouls

you might not have gone mountain pass then

for minthra route you have to go mountain pass

yeah them

Also, keeping this as spoiler free as possible for you but still it's kind of just impatience that assblasted me so Imma tell you
There's a thing in the area you're in, where a super cool item is yours for the taking, but you can't just take it, you gotta slot in the key separately
Doesn't do it for you
I thought it did and shit went HAYWIRE

I mean you DO get it, don't get me wrong

It'd be kinda stinky to tell you at all, but you basically can't miss the key in question and it does say what it's for, so really I'm just letting you know so you don't unwittingly fuck everything up lmao

in the mountain pass?
i only really see a few ways to go
to moonrise towers /// the shadow lands or to the monastery
but my dream boyfriend is telling me not to go to the monastery because the gith are gonna kill me for the artifact
i guess i could go anyway
and just kill everyone there

yeah it's in the mountain pass but I'm not gonna spill much more than that unless you're fine being spoiled

Also I can just fucking fly now
bro wasn't fucking with me when i was promised power, this shit is bussin'

eh, it's fine if i miss stuff
i'll be doing a lot of different runs

Fair enough
>fly isn't even an action, it's just a movement option
ho-lee

yeah fly is pretty much something you want to get eventually in any dnd-like game
if you're a munchkin at least
a lot of people dont care about it but if you wanna be The Strongest Possible you need it

I mean I've had potions for it on me forever, but now I can just fucking do it
I didn't even use any of them yet, cause like
...I've got longjump, you know?

Also other than the robe, I've been using this same shit basically since the start of act 2
one of those swords is new, but the rest is OOOLD now and still real good
Not complaining exactly, the swords are sick as hell, but my barbarian's gone through like 2-3 new weapons and the fighter got a banging new sword earlier too

old screenshot but ive got astarion looking dripped out

goddamn
It's fucked up how hard it is to find regular clothes btw

why would you want regular clothes

Cause I wanna look good when I'm hanging around camp

>>1094227
damn he lookin fly

Not sure why she's under the impression we're refugees

I got to Act 2 but then decided instead of progressing to start a playthrough in which i align with the true souls at the goblin camp
I saw that Minthara has a class and drops a camp supply pack when she dies and realized she is likely a recruitable character
While things have not gone as I expected I was able to raid the druid's grove alongside the goblins and have made friends with Nere in the underdark, as well as had a romance scene with Minthara
this game is crazy yo

yeah thats what im doing now
im trying to recruit minthara
lost wyll and karlach so she better join me!!!!

i killed shadowheart and laezel at the beginning, i figured most party members wouldn't agree with what i was doing so i never tried to grab any
went straight to withers and got hirelings
then i realized shadowheart and laezel are probably two of the only characters who wouldn't care if i was being evil
except for, of course, our boy astarion
who is absolutely fucking loving it

laezel was actually supportive of killing all of the grove
shadowheart was like "yeah idk about this but i'm along for the ride"

>lost karlach
NOOOOO
She's so GOOD

>>1094236
Well of course, treasonous scum

karlach is pretty great
i killed wyll
karlach is still alive so maybe she'll show up later and be mad at me

karlach is just so cool

important info for act 3
There's a quest that, if you do it in the wrong order there, you will simply be locked out due to it being bugged
suffice to say, when you get to a room with 4 coffins below a kitchen, read the plaques before opening any of them, or the quest just softlocks on you
Though you may or may not even have the relevant quest anyway

thankfully, I beelined for that shit when I showed up so I didn't lose much progress, but the only fix is to load a save

In other news, rpgs do really have a way to make you do weird shit
My barbarian, Karlach, is wearing what should be a wizard hat
Because her gloves and weapon synergize to add status effects, and the hat adds yet another status effects when you add a status effec
It's obviously for wizards, but I ain't got one of those, I've got a barbarian

i miss kuro

apparently you can fuck Mizora and if you do it makes Wyll very sad lmao

Man I've just been ignoring Wyll
that guy's been wanting to talk to me ever since I brought Karlach onboard, and I haven't given him the time of day
most neglected guy in camp, even withers has a friend

It's like, his patron just fucking shows up and he goes "hey boss, you got a moment?
"

No, Wyll, I don't. Go fuck yourself, get outta my damn camp, I don't care about you, I've got 3 bad bitches in my party and your fuckin' swashbuckler ass isn't gonna replace any of them ever

i love wyll so much
hes so cool

i really hope they add goblin and aasimar race to the game

>missing 6 80% hits in a row
just like xcom

MY CHEST STOPPED WORKING
AAAAAAA
So much value
Lost to the ether

Thankfully, I only stored stuff I was gonna sell anyway, but still

I guess the act change killed it
Was never supposed to exist in act 3 I suppose

wait the value isn't even lost it looks like
Incredible

i just got the craziest glitch
i went to camp but instead of camp, it threw my MC somewhere i've never even been and killed the rest of my party

there definitely are a lotta small and large bugs in the game
but it is a real big game

I may have lost my chest of holding, but on the flipside, I've got so much gold now I don't expect I ever actually need to hoard value anymore
Just gonna find a pouch or something to dump rings and amulets and other small, high value density stuff into later
I've already got a pouch for poisons and one for potions

I'm honestly lugging around so much shit, and for once it's not "too good to use" syndrome, it's just "don't really need it, but don't wanna sell it"
If I needed money, then sure maybe I'd sell some of it, but I'm lugging around like 7500 gold over here

Also found some banging gloves that fix my number one issue as a rogue
It gives me +1 action

also imats there's multiplayer right?
y'wanna do a multiplayer game once we've both completed the game sometime?
seems like it could be fun

yeah for sure
i did some with jan and it was pretty fun
although he kept doing stuff and not telling me what was happening lol

the whole fun part is the collaboration though
and also not having to manage the dipshit companions
I nearly got wiped because karlach wiggled around while we were stood still and deliberating how to open the fight, triggering the whole pack of enemies and killing my own character turn 1
Just outright killing, not downed
She got BODIED

Also while I do understand the reason to have long and short rests in the game mechanically, I really do wish it would instead be like "per combat" or similar
Because like... there is no downside to abusing long rests
I've got 15 rest packs stacked at camp, and I've never even used one, and I rest all the time

It just kinda... fucks up the pacing to have to go back to camp and rest just to get my spells back, it's stupid in a video game
>>1094261
I have yet to have even 1 night time event (except exactly 1 that's scripted)

thats how it is in 5e after all
although there are places in the game that will punish you for long resting

if you want to save nere for example, long resting will kill her

him

Oh yeah, I guess that's true
But I mean, I was gonna ice that guy anyway so I didn't think much about it, I thought it was triggered by something else
Only after the mfer died did I realize I could have just given karlach a warhammer and gone at the damn rocks instead of trying to figure out where the fuck that gnome cache was
I still don't know where that shit was, I stumbled on the damn forget \\\ forge in the process of looking instead

also maezels are the most annoying enemy in the game by far
they gotta change the AI on these things

the hell is a maezel?
OH the garrot boys
yeah they're a bit memey, but they're super squishy
really the only threat they pose is the shadow curse

in the shadow lands they garrot you and teleport you away from your party
every single turn

70hp isnt really squishy

especially in an encounter with 4 of them

I guess?
I dunno the fight lasted 2-3 turns for me
But I've really cranked laezul and karlach so they DPS like fucking crazy
And the super leap spell on laezul's boots or whatever the fuck has that shit also helps
>>1094271
Karlach is brutally strong, yeah

You can actually just respec your companions too though, if you really need some DPS
Or get a hireling

maybe ///
well, you have access to more companions than i do
karlach can probably delete these guys immediately
but my team is ridiculously squishy because i have 2 mages and a rogue
my only possible companions at this point are laezel, shadowheart, and astarion

since ive been locked out of karlach, gale, and wyll

Damn
I kept all the companions I've met so far other than apparently one of the true souls I guess?
I ain't gonna use 'em, cause laezel and shadowheart are good and Karlach is based af
>>1094274
Oh I see
I'd just get some hirelings if I was you, they're not as cool but they're good little lads

you cant keep wyll or karlach if you go absolute route
and you lose gale if you're doing dark urge and giving into the urges

or you can try to do it with the hand you're dealt, that's fun in its own way too
I've just found that melee based damage is busted good in this game cause you can put some fucking misty step trinkets or whatever on them to close in on ranged people, and the rest come to you
With a mage you end up having to run away all the damn time
And I usually do play a mage
But rogue is a lotta fun too, just kinda wish my weapons were a tad stronger

hell I might just ditch shadowheart too, cause her damage is stinky and the heals are also stinky
But they do save me some bonus actions
and potions are hard to come by too, despite my wealth

just give her life domain and her heals will git gud

might just respec her for that yeah
Cause I really don't need her to do much damage, I'd rather have crazy heals
I've already got 2 semitanks who are also DPS, 1 cracked DPS now that I've gotten into the groove with rogue, and shadowheart's just there like "plus 7 HP for you ma'am"

youd probably really enjoy playing actual 5e
you can become pretty much a god

I mean I probably would but I ain't got nobody to play with
finding a group of randos sounds like more trouble than it's worth too
I did try to DM that one time before too but well, that fell through
that woulda been fun I think

oh shit more Urge quest
i have to kill isobel now lmaooooo

my butler is so funny
hes so edgy

>>1094280
id be happy to run a game for you and some others sometime

I'd be up for it
would need help with the like, character creation and stuff though

love my freaky fucking butler so much

>>1094282
ofc
the DM's job is to help with all that stuff

>>1094283
brother what did you DO to withers

thats my butler! (:

also there's obviously some stuff that'd need to be like, not part of the game, or I can't

yeah that wouldnt be a prob

usually new groups list stuff they dont want in the game because it would be triggering or whatever
e.g. some groups dont want extreme violence

that makes sense
I only have the one thing anyway, though

yeah, i dont usually have that sort of stuff anyways
in my games at least

just has to be mentioned is all cause it's a total no-go
It's not even like "I don't wanna" or whatever, I just won't be able to keep playing

well, so I assume
not like I've actually got this shit mapped out or know the limits

I like how the animals never go "holy shit, a talking humanoid" when you do speak with animals
they just look at that shit as completely natural and normal, despite every single humanoid they've ever met at best just mimicking their words back to them

maybe the animals always understand us and now theyre just like aw another one of these freaks talking to us. get out of here

maybe

feels so good to kill like 4-5 people with a single attack
good old fireball. a true classic

5e character creation is super easy though
i usually run pathfinder 1e which is like 40x as complicated

there arent a lot of choices in 5e especially if you limit it to 1pp stuff

I AM FANGS AND TEETH. I AM BLOODLUST MADE FLESH. you wouldnt understand

and i have this feeling of impending doom
is that the slight poisoning effect or is it general awareness

anyway the store is preparing like 30 of the dang things

the least offensive sandwiches possible

damn i wish i could get microdose pills

although if im being honest i probably wouldnt use them

they sell them at retail brick and mortar here

i havent taken them forever but ive also felt very very stuck as of late

thats pretty cool

I've kept these flowers that disrupt magic on me forever, thinking maybe sometime later they'll be handy to just throw at something that's problematic
such a time has come
turns out, they no longer DO anything

thats so funny

maybe the flowers just ran out of juice
you cant expect a plucked flower to keep its potency forever after all

I mean I guess, but still
Like, it kinda stinks to find something and go "oh this might be useful at some point even if right now there's no reason for it" and then it just turns off
The chest I can understand, they never thought anyone would lug that around despite how absurdly useful it is

i do think it would be funny to be an anti-mage melee guy who runs into magic users and makes them worthless
but the flowers are honestly a little OP
there are arcane magics in the game that simply cannot target you if you have a flower on you

theres probably something in act 3 that the flowers would break

I mean yeah
it just kinda sucks
I've been collecting all these neat little things and now it all feels kinda hollow because the next time I go grab something it's gonna be like "oh hey, dev here, we just disabled that"

like some of the fun of dnd, seems to me anyway, is the player having picked up something the dm just threw in there as a joke, and finding some niche use case for it that completely fucks up the dm's crafty scheme

granted, not a lot of niche use cases for "completely nullifies all magic in a small radius of the holder"
that IS busted

oh wait shit, nevermind, the things actually do say they die when exposed to sunlight I guess

interesting

also there's something a bit fucked up about the game actually starting the clock before removing the black loading screen when you're transitioning between scenes
like oh cool, I just stood there and waited as the guard patrolled right into me because the game blinded me

I do like the game but there's a lot of little annoyances like that that build up
I just spent like 30 actual minuted killing 4 17hp units that could only be damaged by 22damage or higher rolls, but themselves didn't do anything
The time spent was because only karlach does that much with blunt, or rather she's the one who has a blunt weapon with her in the first place, and when it was the other units' turn, the game just... sat there, for like a half minute
they didn't DO anything, but the game still felt like making me stare at nothing
EVERY
TURN

oh yeah sometimes the AI takes a while to think for some reason
i havent discovered a cause

the AI does completely bug out sometimes too
I had a guy sandwiched between laezel and karlach earlier, and he spent his whole turn running back and forth between them
he even dashed
then he did a transformation right at the end, having effectively moved 1 meter
he took opportunity attacks from both in the process

like o|o and the | is the path he went back and forth between

this fight against balthazar sucks man
the arena is garbage
10+ enemies all of whom can start the entire fight by pushing my characters off cliffs to their deaths

ah geez and all the little guys dont go away if you kill balthy
they just keep on pushin everyone off

but i suppose it's a bit outrageous to think that every encounter in a game like this will be well designed
any time there are like 20 enemies (literally in this case) i get overwhelmed by it

games haven't come to far in the last decade. but their getting better I suppose.

>>1094419
Yeah that fight sucks big donkey ass
Balthazar is fucking immune to being pushed, too
I mean that makes sense cause it'd be trivial otherwise, but it's always stupid when a game gives you a cool power and then is like "ah ah ah, doesn't work against bosses (the only time it's more than a gimmick)"

oh also I guess I should mention, I'm also up for playing together before we finish our solo runs, I just figured you'd want to go through it solo at least once first, and chances are I'll finish the game first since I've got way more time on my hands

you're making much faster progress than I am though, that's for sure

I need traffic dreams on spotify right now

Inventory management can be a real pain in this game, though it's not awful

There's also some occasional just strange bugs
these two stacks of gold, for example
The 600 gold there are from the toll troll, and they DO NOT stack into the regular gold you find
However, they are valid currency, even if not counted at the top of the inventory screen
They don't have a separate description or anything either, it's just regular gold and probably just has a different item ID or something for some weird reason

Actually now that I'm in act 3, maybe they too have return to being worthless

Though if we do both finish the game first, probably jacking up the difficulty would be more fun than playing on normal
Other than balthazar, most of the game so far has been fairly easy, even if karlach and laezel keep going down

oh no drag and drop strikes again

time to chug soup

bg3 should have a right-click option for "pick up and send to camp"
It has it for adding to wares (something I've yet to really figure out how to use, but still)
Actually, I would be pretty thankful if someone could explain to me how exactly I'm to use the "add to wares" thing in both this and divinity
I mean, I know how to literally DO it, but all it seems to actually accomplish is add a little icon on the item in my inventory
I thought maybe there'd be some in-trade thing, like a "add all wares" button or at least a separate "wares" tab of your inventory you could switch to so you can spam-add, but it's all still just sorted the same as if I have nothing added to wares, so I can't see any real use for it other than as a note like "this isn't for use, you can safely sell" without having to look at it during the trade, which I guess I can see the use in, but it's kinda meaningless since you're just gonna be selling any and all non-colored items anyway, really, and adding something to wares doesn't tag that like, item type as wares, just that individual item, meaning you'd have to do that individually for everything you pick up... which is more work than just taking a second to look at stuff during trade

Am I just overlooking something?

oh like the emissions stuff?

naw, there's some actually big problems like I shouldn't be driving it unless I have to, and not just cause it's not legal
some spring is scuffed, one of the brakes is shitty, and apparently there's an oil leak though they weren't entirely sure about that one

well thats unsafe

yeah
Not good
I'll just be a little hermit goblin until it gets repaired, more so than already

estimated cost of repairs is apparently like, ballpark between $470 and $940
which is rough, but I can do that

Well, the upper range I just can not afford, and I'll have to ask my mom for a cash infusion
but midrange, probably at least doable

thar be a chilly blowin

WIND
chilly wind
gosh
doesn't help I'm kinda sweaty

I wonder if there's a newgame+ in baldur's gate
It'd be kinda cool to get to use the gear I've gotten my paws on a bit longer than just the very end

Also wow, no special sauce for reaching level 12 for any of my party, huh?
Sure you get one last feat, and that is pretty huge, but it's kind of a letdown to reach max level and not get a new like, thing, you know?
It'd almost be preferable for the stuff I got at level 11 to be pushed back to level 12 just for the sense of accomplishment
No new spells for the cleric, no new ability or passive for any of my DPSers
Just kinda feels weird, usually the max level has one last drop of dopamine for you, doesn't even need to be massive, but it's something
>>1094510
Yeah I think so at least
In regular dnd it's 20, I think? but bg3 is, I mean it isn't short, but when stacked against a full 1-20 dnd campaign, I mean it's pretty short

This in addition to knowing I just got the two dopest rogue weapons probably in the game, and it's very soon gonna be over, kinda feels bad

12 is max level? how perfectly smol

cleric didn't even get another spell slot
scammed

barb got another rage charge at least, which is nice I guess

soo true
what can you do with a rage

I'm sure there's more to it, but from what I've been able to tell, mostly all it does is give you the option to attack using your bonus action as well
Which is pretty good, after all 1 more attack is 1 more massive damage spike
And there are items that give you additional stuff while raging, though so far I've only found one and it's... I mean it's not BAD, it's top tier in terms of what I've found for my barbarian, but all it effectively does is add +1 damage while you rage
+1 damage isn't really all that useful, but it's better than most items I've found, as far as barbarian use is concerned

Oh, here we go
rage by itself adds +3 damage (likely this is scaled by level and starts out as 1 but I haven't looked before now) and you get some resistance to physical damage, and advantage on strength rolls
All in all fairly good stuff to be sure, but the primary benefit is really the extra attack

its crazy windy outside i think
at least it sounds like it
i keep hearing big buffeting sounds and the occasional bang
and yet the weather report is mil

I would like to go buffeting right now.

man i can't even buffet anymore it's like
i don't need to make my body explode and take a nap

my drafting buddy who's on his way to become engy left today
he gave me his cool mouse that he got from the company

i fell asleep and missed my stop
only by offbyone kenobis but I hope I can get back soon
annoying people are repopulating the train

let's goooooo
we're going

i start my full-time contract soon
hopefully I can move closer as well

i'll show you a joke

ohayo kirara
I think I'm about to go do the very last step of bg3 now
Well not right now, I'm taking a little break
but I'm basically done, I think

I wonder if there's a final boss fight or if it's fallout style and you just speech it
Either way, look forward to gortesh, that's a doozy of a battle, presuming you do it the way I did it. Not super hard, but very... strange I guess
Kinda tedious, but also somewhat difficult
Actual fight itself was cool though, even if I didn't figure out how I was "supposed" to do it
I just brute forced that shit

I haven't like, exhausted the content by any means, I think, but I plan to play more runs anyway
>>1094529
huh? jk simmons?
I didn't even enjoy that fight, it was so easy
Just bumrushed the guy after clipping down that one other human he had on his side
And phase 2 was surprisingly trivial as well

i just beat ketheric
that fight was so good!!!
i'm getting really excited

the bhall // bhaal woman interests me a lot because i am literally the daughter of bhaal

You are playing with a somewhat scuffed party due to playing the bespoke character route though I suppose
>>1094531
oh damn
Yeah I imagine that was rough with your party, though I think I would have been fine anyway

in my game, there wasn't just a human at his side, it was isobel

My dark urges commanded me to kill her. So I tore her apart. And then Ketheric had his god bring her back as his serventdaughter

my party of shadowheart/minthara/astarion is pretty strong now

the lord of bones sure is nice, fulfilling the same request twice like that

When we get around to doing co-op, I kinda wanna try doing a 2handed weapon rogue or something for laughs, but maybe that's too ambitious
Just output a staggering amount of damage
>>1094537
rip

>>1094526
ok lets see it

...minthara disappeared from my game

babe no

also you've got no clue how many NPCs I've had show up in act 3 and be like "oh hey, thanks for earlier" or whatever and I'm like "who... who the hell are you? I don't remember seeing a bard at all"

oh i found her
she was sittin on keth's throne laughing about how good it feels to sit on the throne of someone she killed

quite the paladin

i love her so much
she is the perfect wife for my dark urge

she looks fantastic covered in blood

hahaha she wants to know why i killed all the tieflings at the grove since i was ostensibly in complete control of my actions

i was like "i just like killing" and she said "hm thats a little weird"

>>1094535
i might do a tricksy warlock or something
or some cleric focusing on buffs idk

I usually play healers in games, but I've got the taste for DPS after playing through this as a rogue
cause damn, the enemies get fucking COOKED when it's my turn
It's also nice to be able to just hoard all the shit around cause I can pick any lock and disarm any trap

oh orin is talking about how i'm her filthy little sister

>>1094548
Are we still talking about the game?

unfortunately

also pickpocketing at times feels like it wasn't entirely thought through, which is kinda weird
Like in act 3, there's this item that some people have, and they only have the one
But if you pickpocket and then enter combat, they still have it, despite you taking it already

Not that I've picked many pockets in this game, rarely seen a particular reason to
Like if you're gonna pickpocket, it's cause you're playing a rogue, but rogues are also skilled in persuasion and deception, both of which usually accomplish whatever you were thinking of pickpocketing for anyway

It is a video game I guess, but still
you kinda get the feeling that most things were designed so you can accomplish them no matter your party and their builds, except combat I suppose
Which is fine, but it does take the air out of some stuff, I feel

>>>/watch?v=RMzJ9nXSR50

Friday...

the day when we are obligated to get down

Do your worst.

I mean your best.

I ain't gonna get down on SHIT

i actually could use a hatchet but I dare not pick up what might as well be an accessory for crime

walk past two dudes with

what appeared to metal somethings in their hands
near the dark alleyway
town can be a bit scary at night

>>1094560
woah

im more worried about the random hatchet tbh

DnD is kinda wild with how armor doesn't actually like, in-lore, do jack shit
AC determines whether you were hit at all, but if you did get hit, it's completely irrelevant whether you're naked or wearing full plate

I know it's all abstracted and stuff, but it's pretty wild how it shakes out

AC is both armor and dodge. So if you have high AC, it's the same no matter how you get it.
In-lore, it's pretty important!

In pathfinder, you have different types of AC bonuses that break it down even more. You have base AC, armor bonus, dodge bonus, natural armor bonus, misc bonus, etc

I guess I meant the interfacing between lore and mechanics, more than anything
Though, "it didn't hit" is more convention than anything, you could equally say it bounced off

But I still think it's kinda strange how provided you did get hit, it's irrelevant
Makes for smoother gameplay though, I'm sure

Yeah, it's up to the DM to provide the flavor.
You miss out on that in a crpg.

If you have some moots on twitter or something, I wouldn't mind running a 5e game for you guys
or i guess if we had a /moe/ group that'd work too
5e is pretty easy especially if you do short campaigns

I don't really have anyone I talk to much on twitter, no
I mean there's like a handful of people who show up in the replies more often than others, but I kinda just don't like, get involved with people beyond that
I don't even know if any of those people see me as like, "a friend" or anything, so

Want me to see if I can find a group of people on twitter that we might both know?

i cant believe how much ive fallen in love with astarion

I mean I'm fine with whoever as long as they're not weirdos
And actually show up

Tabletop is more fun when everyone's weirdos

so true

well there's more than one kind of weirdo
being weird is cool and good, but some people are like... Weird
Like when I tried to form friendships on tf2g on /vg/ and most of them basically just spouted memes, that's weirdo shit

I mean I enjoy a good meme same as anyone, but these guys were like, not missing a beat
I assume it was just like, awkwardness or something, but still
Not that I'm much better in that respect, I just kinda keep it under wraps and try to be Normal to some degree

the easiest way to put it is like
being weird is fine
making it weird isn't

yeah i get what you meant

actually thinking about it, it wasn't even vg, it was fuckin' v
had nothing to do with tf2 either, it was just one of those "we're all lonely anons, let's add each other to friend lists and maybe play some games"
Which was pretty cool for me
I legitimately ONLY had dutchfriend at the time, I'm pretty sure

to some degree, my friendship with dutchfriend probably poisoned me to a permanent end
until, you know, the one particular night, there's never been effort on either of our ends, it's just been natural and true since the time I asked him if he wanted to watch lucky star on msn

Like obviously there was some graduality to it, but it wasn't ever something I had to work at or nothing
We just matched

I think the only friendship that comes close to it was with a guy I actually only sorta vaguely knew and hung out with sporadically in middle school
We don't talk much anymore, things kinda got a bit.. tense, I guess, cause he confessed to me and stuff
But as messed up as it is, at that time I actually thought I might be in love with him, too

But I kinda panicked, I guess, and went something like "I'm sorry, I don't feel that way"
Still think about that sometimes

We've kinda drifted so far apart I dunno how to re-establish contact anymore. Did tell him I'm trans though, and he was supportive I guess, don't remember it too well.
I do kinda wish I could connect again, but like, it's just kinda weird. We haven't talked more than a few sentences in forever, he's got a whole life now, presumably.

I really am kinda getting left behind by everyone

Anyway I'm just having a little downer alcohol moment

On the subject of the dnd game though, really I think it's best to leave that to you, cause realistically I'm not gonna have the initiative to like, rustle people up
I'd imagine anyone you get along with, I'll probably get along with... for the most part anyway

Ideally I'd prefer at least one other trans person cause I feel like my voice dysphoria might be kept in check knowing there's one other person in the VC either having the same shit, or at least having dealt with it in the past
That's not a requirement or anything though

i think it's likely that we'd have some trans players if we get them from twitter
i mostly run in those circles

that's true yeah
I'm pretty sure most my followers are trans anyway
I don't get squat for ENGAGEMENT from more than a handful of people though, I just have a buncha followers who don't read my posts

Though, I mean, a lot of that is probably attributable to being locked
But that's not gonna change I think

dark urge is getting WILD
i'm way more evil than i ever expected
this is so fucking good
i'm gonna END THE WORLD

I wanna do a run where I kill straight up everyone
Except withers cause I'll need his hirelings

i made friends with gortash and we're gonna kill orin together. he thinks we'll rule the world together but i'll kill him and take the world for myself. and then i'm gonna end it.

all of my party members were like THIS IS GREAT

Can definitely vouch for killing Orin first
Mostly because her drops are actually... good
Gortash's one 'good' drop can be found earlier, I don't remember where, and it's worth like fucking 79 gold

gorty tells me that someone in my camp is a shapeshifter spying on me

Yeah I never figured that one out
Iunno who you've got, and I actually don't even know if there is, mechanically, a shapeshifter in your camp
If there is, I suspect mine was Gale, and it probably changes based on who you've got, but I dunno if it's like, mechanically a thing at all, it's not like you get anything to disrupt shapeshifts in this game

You could systematically savescum kill everyone one by one I guess, but I didn't have the patience to try that

Also it'd be nice if you clarified like, when-ish you would be up for co-op
my brain doesn't handle this kinda uncertainty well

If you wanna finish the game first that's fine, really I'd be fine if you just don't really wanna, I just sorta gotta know or things go haywire real fast

yeah i'd like to finish the game first
i do wanna do it but i wanna finish the game first

Alrighty then
I feel awkward bringing it up and stuff, so just like, lemme know when you're good to go or whatever
I mean we're talking days out I presume, but still, I just feel like I'm being a fucking clingy shit and stuff when I bring stuff like this up and I'd probably have just not said anything forever if I wasn't drinking and hopped up on ritalins
my brain's doing all SORTS of athletics

idk how much more i have but i'm level 8 right now
almost 9
i'll probably finish early next week

>>1094593
i'll let you know yeah!!

i also dont trust emperor so i'm going to kill him too

oh, also, this is TECHNICALLY a spoiler but not actually like, plot stuff or whatever
I'm gonna spoil it but still you should know it's not like, a Reveal or anything, just a tip you can read or not if you wanna
You should play along as a psycho bhaal worshipper with Orin's grandpa, cause while you get some neat loot from his corpse, the real sauce is the shop in his lair that opens if you go full bhaal's unholy assassin's route

>>>/@SEGA/1692446143370657870

>>1094596
Oh, sweet summer child. I am a psycho Bhaal worshipper. I am literally the daughter of Bhaal. Orin betrayed me and took my place after I founded the Bhaal cult and I was the one who came up with the plan to use the Elder Brain to control the world. I am fangs and teeth. I am bloodlust made flesh!

Astarion or whatever the fuck his name is
he's gonna cream his fucking pants
when you open the trade window and look at the first armor in the top left of their stock, your assassin is going to lose his FUCKING MIND

You know how I said I suddenly doubled my damage output?
That's ONE item

Also Orin is a trivial fight
Like legit just stupid easy lmao

Gortesh is a pain in the ass though
Though doing it again I could do it a LOT easier

i will simply release the Slayer and destroy everything that stands before me

my comrade under Shar's dark night, you really gotta kill Orin
>>1094603
Well that's cause you're a fool
I will always choose power

emperor is so mad that i wont let him turn me into a squid

i'm afraid that he'll control me if i do it
and the only thing i want to control me is MURDER

He's literally a mindflayer who has ready access to your campgrounds at will
if he wanted to control you, the game would end when you hit the beach

well i dont think he can do it yet
but i think he's got a plan
he's a Good Person and that's Bad for me.
because i am literally the daughter of the god of murder

the emperor said I was complicated and very difficult to predict
I cheered him up and the next night he showed up shirtless like a dam creep
I'm not GOING TO FUCK THE SQUID

unfortunately orin will have to wait for later/tomorrow as it is time for me to return to work

>>1094607
fucking KNEW he was like that
he was sitting with me all boohoo my wife dead comfort me? puppy dog eyes
and i was like i know you're trying to manipulate me man.
and he was like HUMANS ARE SO MEAN YOU SHOULD STOP BEING HUMAN

I think he's being real, but I'm not gonna fuck him, or any of the companions for that matter
that's not even a MENTAL ISSUES thing, I just don't... get anything outta that stuff

i have been with minthara, lae'zel, and karlach

FUCKING WITHERS is on my ass about not fucking my companions, too
motherfucker, I would kill his ass if I didn't feel like rerolling karlach and laezel before the final fight

hahahaha
thats so funny
withcers creepy ass

naw he wasn't creepy about it, he was Psychiatrist about it
which is WORSE

loooo
l

he was like "some would say love is the purpose of life for mortal beings, and yet, you are maidenless" I should WHOOP YOUR ASS BUT SHADOWHEART NEEDED TO REROLL INTO LIFE AND LAEZEL NEEDS HEAVY WEAPON MASTERY OR WHATEVER FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE

Bit close to home, eh

I actually have been thinking lately I'm like, aro\ace\aroace or something, I dunno
as many complexes I have about my virginity and stuff, and trust me they hit me hard at times
like
I just don't... I don't feel a drive for it
it's fomo, emotionally, not like, a longing or wahtever you know?

I don't even know, I hate it cause it fucks up my mental when I'm sober and even touch on the topic, but I really just have nothing more motivating in that direction than this deepseated belief or feeling or whatever that I SHOULD
Like, I want to love, and be loved, and like... the results, kinda, even if the idea scares me a lot
but not enough to put two sticks together towards that

it's immaterial, but important enough to hurt me deeply

but yeah
a bit too fucking close to home in a way I didn't expect from this game, honestly
cause all the companions making moves have been like "ah, alright, that's cool" when I told them I wasn't interested
even the fucking literal Will-Kill-You-In-The-Night rogue bastard is apparently good on that front

But withers is out here fucking
digging up stuff I really do struggle with
and it did actually hurt, despite being a video game
Not a lot, but video games usually don't emotionally touch me, not beyond the immersive suspension of self

fuck it I'm in the final stretch, I'm gonna reroll laezel and karlach, maybe myself, and merc his ass
fuck that guy

karlach is cool though
I think I'd be into her irl

firefox crashed lmao enjoy eternal orange

or yellow, as the case is on my end

honestly dark urge path is pretty relatable for me
the resist path in it probably will be moreso

I get the feeling I'd probably relate to it in a very abstract way
I'm not gonna go into it again, but I do have some uh
tendencies

really though I think more than anything I'm drawn towards taboos
A strong part of me is very certain I'm irredeemable in a very fundamental way, and I think it pushes me towards like, just "being a bad person" in any way it can
>>1094626
I mean I dunno if I ever consciously went "I want to kill this person" in those terms, but it's not like I would have stopped if adults weren't around when I got into fights as a grade schooler
I was all rage, and I really do know what it means to see red
I would have absolutely killed several kids if nobody stepped in

i mean the first time i attempted to kill someone i was only in second grade
but im pretty good about that stuff these days
i resist everything without any trouble
usually

for me i attempted to poison someone
ive probably talked about it before

Yeah that's beyond me
I never schemed I just like
Fought until an adult stopped me

i was pretty lucky
what i thought was poison was not
so even though i successfully got it into their milk unnoticed nothing happened

i wish I was able to talk about my like, issues with an actual shrink
but I just like
can't?
I get walled off, mentally, it just stops, screaming at me not to, it's dangerous, you can't trust this tranger with your cirginity complex
and like
in that moment, it's real
they'll see me as no less pathetic than I see myself
not for being a virgin, that's surprisingly normal despite my age
but for having a complex about it
that's pathetic, I genuinely believe

it just CHURNS in my brain
like, every time I approach the topic at all

with porn or whatever, it's whatever, I mean I do masturbate
but there's some sorta collision that happens when it gets 'real'
porn is fake, it's just bullshit for the sake of rubbing one out, but when people talk about their actual experiences, that gets to me real bad
and I find that really pathetic
makes me less than human, it feels like, cause it's normal for people to talk about that stuff
but here I am, having literal panic attacks over it

I don't spiral when I'm sauced up though at least, it's like the only time I can really talk about this stuff so I end up rambling and hyperfocusing on it instead of pushing it back like usual cause I ain't got shit for barriers
ritalin probably adds a lot to that, I get so fuckin' chatty when I'm on this crap

HE'S HITTING ME WITH THIS SHIT AGAIN?
this motherfucker is going to die as soon as I reroll, this is not acceptable

YOU ARE IN ***MY*** CAMP, YOU FALLOUT GHOUL LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER THANKS FOR THE AMULET OR WHATEVER BUT THIS HAS TO STOP

more than anything I'm hurt by the dialogue options I have in this
if you're gonna put this fucking emotional damage shit in, I should at least have the option to go "intimacy scares me"

like look at this SMUG FUCK
I'm going to burn his fucking corpse in the campfire

I
am going
to
end
this
motherfucker

>>1094626
You sure about that, Mr. Gel Banana

having this fucking conversation with withers again cause apparently I saved BEFORE going through it the first time is legit screwing me up
i'm not doing a bit, i'm fuming
I can feel the spiral coming, I feel the fucking rage

i've never been genuinely hurt by a game before

>>1094637
nothing wrong with a little gel banana

>>1094635
hahaha

>>1094638
that's wild

my emotions are generally bette when sauced, but I mean, they're also way more unstable
which is normal I think
but i dunno

...you can't reroll your feats

this motherfuk
has served his purpose

THEY MADE HIM FUCKING IMMORTAL?

actually mechanics question
I'm a rogue right, dex is My Stat
does STR still matter for melee damage?
>>1094645
I'm guessing you can't anymore once you hit lvl 12
Cause this is my "change class" interface

I guess maybe if I swap between two classes?

>>1094642
yeah you can? i did it

Oh fuck right yeah he just gives you lvl 1 screen, and then you manually level up by pressing the thing

that's sick drip

yeah

oh yeah that's the thing you get
before Orin

also please I need to know
does STR matter for a rogue using fineese weapons?

cause if so I'll just respec and dump EVERYTHING into STR and dex
I'm about to finish the game anyway, I may as well stomp

>You can Shove better as a Str Rogue, and Sneak Attack only requires that the weapon be a Finesse weapon, which uses either your Str or Dex modifier, whichever is higher.
Oh so STR is legit worthless for me alright then

okay yeah they just made withers immortal
i've... never been this hurt by a video game

I can't even fucking cave his skull in

...what the hell, the assassin subclass sucks ass
thief is like easily the goat
you get an extra bonus action, which you'll need to close in on people in time to make use of the assassin traits
traits which, for the record, suck ass
literally "potentially, ONE attack per fight has advantage"
that is literally the worst garbage trait I've ever seen
I guess MAYBE it's worthwhile if you're not dual wielding, but why on god's green earth would you not dual wield as a rogue?

>>1094650
no
finesse will use str or dex, whichever is higher

finesse this whole pizza

"assassin" sounds like such a badass high damage output subclass too, but it actually just sucks ass
what the fuck, dude
am I missing something?
do you get actually good shit further down that subclass tree or something?

they get better sneak attacks

also bonus to initiative

according to the wiki, legit all you get is
-guaranteed advantage (sneak attack) against entities yet to take a turn or surprised
actually no, guaranteed CRIT against surprised targets
and uhhhhh
uuuuuuuhhhh
oh yeah you get your action+bonus back at the start of battle

This amounts to 2 sneak attacks and potentially 1 crit per battle
brother I get like ONLY sneak attacks during battle because my extra bonus lets me scurry across the field like an angel of death

Assasin can suck it, we're just rebuilding with better feats

oh at lvl 9 you get disguise self
which is uuuuh
worthless?
is there even a fucking purpose to that? at all?

especially considering my cleric has Disguise The Entire Fucking Party as a spell and I've got items to render that a free cast if I really wanna

just backstab harder

I don't even "backstab" I just walk right up to the mfer face and shank him cause karlach's right next to me looking at him, menacingly, giving me advantage and guaranteed crits for life
Then id o like fuckin', I don't even know now, upwards of 70 damage?

mistake, not guaranteed crits
sneak attack
legally distinct, but functionally identical

damn weapon even does more damage by virtue of simply HAVING advantage, nevermind the crits, I jsut get a flat +7 dmg for having advantage when I roll
shit's BUSTED

I GET THE THIRD FEAT AT 10???
I thought it was 12
wait no I knew it wasn't 12 I complained about that earlier even
and the two last levels don't give me shit other than like... HP?

oh I guess I get the guaranteed 10+ flat rolls for stuff I'm proficient in
but that's kinda stinky, tbh
It'd actually be worth it if that meant you skipped the rolling interface for stuff you'll auto-clear with anything above a 10
but that's not the case
so it's actually pretty shitty, cause I've got inspiration out the ass
I can reroll fuckin' anything, there's no reason for this

god in heaven, I'm multiclassing, this'll crank me into the fucking stratosphere

wait shit my str is fuckin' 8 I don't HAVE abilitiy modifier

FUCK THIS I'M JUST GONNA FUCK THE Big Brain Thing up

I wanted to kill withers for dealing irl emotional dmage but the game won't let me so I'll do that when there's a mod for it

i just went into a bakery
picked up a free sample of granola
looked at the goods
didnt buy anything
left
AITA?

>>1094674
yeah, you're the asshole for eating granola

NTA
Free samples are free

you are the asshole, you should have taken a second free sample

you know what
they're the assholes for putting put samples thereby baiting me into feeling guilty for taking something without spending any money

i couldnt help it the granola was calling to me

why would you feel guilty
It's a free sample
it's *free

i dont feel guilty but thats a common response to receiving something, psychologically

whatever the joke is dead
anyway
im holed up in this coffee shop bathroom and i feel queasy
gotta calm the frick down

gotta walk it off

I \\
actually this is dm material

wow what a tease

it's more like its not relevant for moe

sooo true

another glorious day

GOD KARLACH IS SUCH BEST GIRL OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANT TO MARRY HER

I'm going to fuck karlach's brains out on the next run she's so fucking good oh my FUCKING god

most SUPPORTIVE gf Global
ho
lee

thats true love

And then the alcohol suddenly hits Like
All at once
Uuuuuu

Aaaaaaa

8 gottadrink less at a time I skwways know
Always know this will happen
It's gonna tell me I'm bad
I'm wrong
I'm pathetic
It doesn't

Jesus christ i was too open

You think I'm awful you hate me bow
Latgetux creature cwbr face my own complexes. Hearts fucking of everything

Pathetic
Har won't age toage to.

>>1094694
Just
take it easy
look after yourself. forgive yourself.
We've all been there.

sobriety is the way to go

lol elon will have to wage war on apple and google if he really wants this to happen

>>1094696
Yeah until they give you free beer at work

yeah
i had two free cana // cans then went home and didnt drink afterward

i think thats my new rule for now
if you give me a free drink ill take it but otherwise i ain't buyin

See, I couldn't do that.
If I had 2, I'd want 3 or 4 of 5

it is tempting but for me not uncontrollably so

now for some extremely foamy cold brew
damn this is sour
what the hell does anyone even drink this

now for the on tap kombucha

MMMMMM

How many taps do you even have

man i've worked at some fancy candy ass tech offices
this is just a we work in canada
there's ONLY three taps

man where I work we need to chip in collectively to buy coffee beans

i used to have free beer on tap at some offices where i worked

which sounds nice but honestly is kind of a problem

anyway
lavish offices and pampering tech employees is soooo 2010s

Yeah but workplaces make disgusting profits off the work produced by the employees within them
The least they can do is provide some simple comforts

Listen, I've been fighting for like two weeks, to maybe get a raise so I, almost now at three years working at my job, will make as much as a guy hired three months ago for the exact same position
If they didn't want me to be so socialist they should pay me better

Frankly even if they just match my wage to that new guy's I'll still argue I deserve more and I'll be pretty pissed off if that's all my raise amount to

lets hope therecwont be socalist any more to cut checks!
>>1094714

oh yea they hate giving raises to keep everyone fairly levelled
its all about power

whats ur take on power? Can you take it or leave, whats ur defenition of the word, pls?

i dont think i can come up with a pithy definition off the top of my head sorry
it's about influence and leverage idk
and personality conflict

here ill hit you with a pithy quote
>everything is really about sex, except sex itself. sex is about power

well that was to the point

anyway everyone has power
not everyone wields it as much as they could
we tend to forget
you can just Do Things

>>1094708
my dad had beer on tap at his office in the mid 2000's

>>1094724
now thats power

>>1094723
I here ya, it sucks when other try and take ones power. others** I tend to focus more on energy, been in short supply as of recent, but today was a beeter day hoping the all the ones to follow are similar and better.

>>1094726
more over for others though, just miss understood on and then ** now and then, ya know.

i showed my 13yo client Alien (1979)
it was so much fun watching her watch it
her mom is 72 and doesn't allow her to engage in any hobbies or activities, won't let her watch horror movies or anything with even a small amount of violence
so she's been isolated enough that she had no clue what was going to happen at any point in the movie
the only thing she knew is the term xenomorph which she knew because her friend at school draws them sometimes

seeing someone so genuine get engrossed in a film is a really wonderful experience

I seen it around the same age, ( not trying to age date) it was intense the 1st time, but nothing compaired to playing the first video game with really good head phones turned up loud.

I'm looking forward to watching Alien some day
I've never seen it but it's kind of similar for me
I just know what the xenomorph looks like and that people die so that maybe only Ripley survives?

that'll do, tjose tails are swish! those**

the final fight is just fucking stupid, holy shit

im at cazzy's rn
for astarion's quest

>>1094813
huh

whaa?

bubbles = freedom

I mean I've got a strategy for it now that I know what the fight entails, but man it's fucking stupid
I don't actually know if it'll be enough either, but it's something

stupid fucking fight in any case

seeing cazador sob feels good

shadowheart is so funny. she's like, look. i had to sacrifice people to get to my destiny. i won't deny you yours, astarion. go ahead and kill all 7000 people

>encounter with 30 turns per round
time to pull out some manga

it really is one of the most frustrating parts of the game
the encounters are usually not difficult but they're absurdly time consuming

honestly it's a lot like real tabletop!
i try to keep my encounters small though to avoid 100 rounds of Level 1 Rat Moves 30 Feet And Ends Turn

I actually finished the rat fight turn 1 by casting spirit guardians and just ran through them all lmao

i blew them all up with fireballs

spirit guardians is busted because it rolls for like, every time something is in the aoe, including when it's just beause you're moving through

Anywho, time to finish off this damned brain

you should be close to finishing by now too, right?
I'm guessing you iced Orin by now, so your rogue should be op

i havent done orin even
i did side quests
i killed cazador and now i'm doing shadowheart's stuff
i also infiltrated raphael's house

ah
I'm just prioritizing getting this run over with at this point
Not that I can do otherwise, the final stretch is one of those "this is it, you can't leave" things

>mother superior: YOU SHALL NEVER SEE SUNLIGHT AGAIN! HAHAHA!
>she goes to move
>triggers opp attack from Slayer Form
>immediately dies
l o l

wait you get slayer form?
or is that a dark urge thing?

yeah.

gonna go hike a mountain while the forest burns around us

it's so fucking cool

>>1094834
wear a mask!

Hahaha
The writers for this game really know how to make a fun tragedy
Especially if you go evil

the city is so unnavigable
yeah its cool that they made a deep, sprawling city
but i want to be able to figure out where i'm going

for some reason my burn scars are hurting today
from the car accident in feb
i dont usually feel them

Is it normal for scars to hurt that far out from the original injury?

Only when there's been nerve damage (which there has been because these were severe friction burns)

but it doesnt typically hurt so it is unusual

bg3 really really enjoys maps where enemies can one shot you on an 80% chance by pushing you off a cliff to your death

it's cool because 100% of the enemies you'd like to do that to are themselves immune to displacement

for fucking real

it's like "you can push enemies off of ledges"
yeah if they're goblins I was gonna oneshot anyway, after goading them into the perfect location for 2 turns in a row

Also turns out when the game says Gale's self destruct sequence has "a wide radius" they mean like, a few meters
I thought it was enough to basically have him on the same map, but it's less of a nuke and more of a slightly beefier fireball

I'm gonna have to redo the whole damn fight now because the game just decided to be super vague about it and gives me 5 turns to dish out 300 fucking damage with, realistically, one character

>see an ambush
>place invisible astarion behind the enemy
>combat starts
>astarion is suddenly moved

when are they gonna release the patch that fixes act 3
how was act 1 and 2 so good and act 3 so jank

oh and you take upwards of 20 psychic damage each time you attack too
and for some reason I wasn't getting my advantage rolls so I MISSED a perfectly stationary enemy

>>1094848
dude did you try to "sneak into the shadows" with the little gnome man, too, only for YOUR COMPANIONS TO TRIGGER THE FIGHT FOLLOWING YOU FROM A DIALOGUE EVENT?
I was SO FUCKING mad

i'm trying to get into the bhaal temple
and all these dudes just show up and start spamming like 400 arrows

oh yeah I just cheesed that by casting invis and going into turn based mode to bypass the whole fucking thing, it's a stupid fight and *it says you win if you kill that one guy, but you DO NOT WIN by simply killing that one guy*

as in the game LITERALLY, EXPLICITLY SAYS "The fight ends if this guy dies"
IT DOES NOT END

act 3 is a fucking shitshow the whole way through honestly
Gortash fight is going to make you see red

also nightsong is just on 0 hp in my game
not downed or anything, she just has 0/120 or whatever hp
like, in camp and stuff

I don't even know if that's a bug

i want to cheese this but the map is so convoluted
i don't even know where the fuck i'm supposed to go

you just cross the beam over the chasm and head into the door, hold on I'll mspaint something real quick

the door that says it's locked by bhaalist mischief?

You gotta not trigger the fight, but this this the path, basically
you really just gotta have one guy go invis, sprint through it, and there's a teleporter once you get through that last door there, so you can all just fasttravel

I wouldn't have cheesed it if it wasn't such a stupid fight, but even if I could do it I mean, like, what do I get out of it beyond wasted time?

yeah i mean half the enemies trying to kill you are out of range for me
why the fuck would i waste my time with this

you're out of range for them, too, for the most part, so you're just watching them shuffle aound for like 10 seconds a piece and there's 50 of them

surely they will go back and fix this stuff eventually
i wonder if they got rushed for some reason
towards the end of the dev cycle

possibly, yeah
I mean 6 years is a long time to wait for any indication of return on investment as it is

yeah thats fair
and its a fantastic game despite act 3

yeah it is really damn good
But this last fight, it's honestly just at the point where if it wasn't literally the last fight of the game, I'd just ditch it and start a new run instead

im looking at people talking about this ambush online and multiple people are saying this fight took them hours to complete successfully lol

yeah that tracks
there'sa handful of really stupid things in act 3

I mention gortesh a lot, but the actual fight with him specifically is pretty standard fare
it's the leadup that's fucking awful

I should get started on a rough concept for my character in the dnd
I do wanna play a goblin cause tat's cool to me, at least

Do you want me to send you the player's handbook and the monsters of the multiverse book that has the goblin race in it?

The campaign is going to be fey-focused so goblin is a good race for it

I think I might even have it already from before
but if you've got it easily available, yeah that'd be preferable to hunting it down in my drives

do you have a rough outline of how the players meet each other yet? just to know how to structure my backstory or whatever to bring me to that place and time

Basically, you're all going to be employed by a researcher.
How you meet the researcher is going to be based on your character background
Feel free to come up with the background that sounds good to you and we'll just work it into the story

oh then I can basically reuse the character from the arknights one, though rerolling stats and stuff preumably
basically just "in debt, morally very flexible as a result, motivated primarily by greed"

goblin mode lends itself very well to criminality too, so

depending on how long you want it to go I could come up with some other hooks and avenues for some stuff, too, I guess

>>1094875
especially since most people don't trust goblins and it would be hard for them to get a real job

>>1094876
usually when you're coming up with a character, you want to include stuff in their past that can be part of their own character arc through the campaign
and the DM's job is to tie in your story to the main story

exactly
I'm in debt, but I'm a goblin, so legitimate work paying well enough to cover it is gonna be a difficult thing to pull off
But using my small size and agile body to steal shit and flip it, that's comparably easy

>>1094873
Is this motherfuckin' Archie again

>>1094877
yeah i jsut figure it's needless to add that if you're thinking like, 5 sessions or something, you know?

>>1094879
Archie is reserved for our group!
Another group wouldn't be able to appreciate the long, storied history of the Archies.

>>1094880
Oh, I was thinking of a full campaign.
Starting level 1 and probably ending around level 12-15

Oh well then I'll definitely figure out some stuff
I do kinda wanna go rogue mode cause sneaking around and stealing stuff is always fun, but I feel like it's best to get a somewhat balanced party going

I sent you the books on discord

i want to keep this campaign primarily to first party stuff
when you introduce 3rd party there are just so many options and newer players can get tangled up in it and build characters they cant work well

lol everyone at the temple is like "please kill orin already. you're so much cooler and better at murder than her"
