Yeah god that sounds like a nightmare.

I mean… Kinda Baldurs Gate 3, especially if you are a high charisma class. You can also be monk. They key is dont use attack spells, and knock everyone out instead of killing them on thr mandatory fights. SO MANY of the fights in that game can be avoided or skipped with dialogue. You can, for example, bluff your way entirely into the enemy bases, use their shops, and completely decide to stay out of conflicts. Again, like you said in NV, sometimes the ‘pacifist’ routr makes you feel like shit. Like, you can skip having to side with either Minthara or the tieflings in act 1 simply by leaving for act 2. A lot of people die in the background though.

Only mandatory fights I think are at the end of act 2, and the final boss fight. Everything else can be avoided or conversationally skipped. In the final fight, depending on allies you got throughout the game you can technically have them fight everyone. Or you can just stealth past everything with greater invisibility or as monk or rogues that can sprint really fast.

Sounds like it should be if it isn’t. Space Force seems like a misguided attempt to start the Terran Marines from warhammer/starcraft and other military scifis.

One of the only good things I said that Trump did in his first term was invest in space. Gave NASA more budget, created Space Force, as ridiculous as it is at this stage in our history… looks like he just took away the one good thing I credited him for.

Its really odd, cause you’d think they’d just want to make money no matter where it comes from.

Does Pedro Pascal really have an accent though? Every interview i can find of him he sounds very american. Only when he said his name did I even hear a hint of a Chilean accent.

Unless it has been able to do longer and Im not up on my AI news… I’m talking continuous shot.

So far as I know, AI can only make like 10-second videos. This is much longer a continuous shot. Plus if you just look at the way the wind is blowing the cloth behind the barrier, the shadows are all correct as it bangs against it. I’m no forensics person but that seems pretty realistic to me.

Trump rails on everyone he thinks did the slightest wrong to him but hasn’t said a WORD about the Butler shooter.

I thought aleverything was fishy as fuck with thr shooting, down to the timing of it when he was really falling behind in polls, to thr secret service keeping him on stage instead of IMMEDIATELY ushering him off stage, to the absolutely perfect propaganda shot. Now seeing it from this angle its just… wow. But why did it take so long for this video to come out?

I used to read physical books all the time when I was younger, but as I aged and audiobooks became downloads instead of massive multiple disc CD sets, I shifted. Isn’t because I can’t read anymore, and my eyes havent failed me yet that I need reading glasses, but I just like doing OTHER THINGS while reading. Plus I extra love when voice actors make it a PERFORMANCE. In ye old days it used to be just a narrator reading the words, often tonelessly, but Audible books these days are PERFORMANCES. I like popping on an audio book while im driving, while im in bed trying to fall asleep, and while im playing a grindy part in a video game. Or a video game that doesn’t have voice acting so I can enjoy 2 stories simultaneously, or Roguelike video games where there’s no story at all, or story beats only occur when you’re at your home base.

Me beating the first boss before I figure out the game had a leveling system…

I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

Ugh I have a bad allergic reaction to pokeweed. One IS too much. Yet I have to weed it anyway and nearly die in the process.

They already have enough of a persecution fetish.

You know it ain’t. This is her trying to ban some conspiracy theory non existent weather device, just like the space laser she was crying about a couple years ago.

So the alligators will have bite sized snacks in addition to full size meals… sorry, my dark humor. It’s the only way I cope with these atrocities.

Yes I know how sensitive a subject it is.

Also, I too do not like small talk or mindless chit chat. If I talk, it is is in depth and with a passion about the topic.

Thanks for the constructive feedback instead of just assuming I was a bad person. I appreciate it.

Ok sure. Sorry I didn’t know ‘motherland’ was a negative phrase in Germany. I will not use it. My grandmother and mother were not German just great grandmother.

Software engineering. There is a lot of cognates yeah
