I repaired a barn heater for one of G's patients Monday. It wasn't a big deal. It took 30 minutes. They wanted to pay me but I refused. Yesterday they brought us a big sweet potato pie to say thanks. I consider myself well compensated for the time!

I can imagine.

For anyone that hasnt seen it yet, you can get 4 free home Covid tests by ordering from the post office website. I already ordered mine, be there or be square.

Deciphering the combat log on a big fight and lots of rolls:

The Weyc's Items are principaly focus on empowerement, and like for Sasha's Singing Smitar (with The Ranga...) or the Least Unstable Coil, the enchantements are triggering on each proc from the empowered spell. Like for most of the "buffs" in the game, the duration is prolonged instead of stacking effects in the case of, for exemple, Muse of the Mystery (robes of the Weyc for Chanter) or Attuned Channel (The Weyc's Wand).. But there are some really nice effect that was not expected in first : Omnipotence (Robes of the Weyc) provide Brilliant to nearby allies on each proc. Follower of the Obscured (the Weyc's Wand) skip the recovery on each proc *. Wael's Sight (The Weyc Wand) convert 100% of misses to grazes for each proc. * : I tested with an Empowered Pollen Patch, this is like Blade Cascade ; I suppose that is also the case with Avenging Storm but at condition to attack with weapons. For other spells the recovery is skiped periodicaly. The Weyc's items are available at the end of the game, but because I finished many time the game, I export them to get Soulbounds Items early in the game : that dont break the challenge and offer some different perspective in combat. This is the link to the topic that list the spells concerned :

Nothing with my lungs, but my throat feels bad and I've been coughing. I think I'm through the worst but you can't be too careful.

My household is dealing with it as well. My daughter tested positive over a week ago. She had actually just had the booster, so at first we thought her not feeling well was just a reaction, but we took a test to be safe and she was positive. After a week of staying home and quarantining, she tested negative and was feeling a lot better. It was mostly low grade fever and congestion, although she was nauseous on day 1. The whole household has been testing regularly, and this weekend my wife tested positive. So now my daughter is recovered, my wife is quarantined, I am sleeping on the couch, and my son is complaining about a scratchy throat... My wife's symptoms are minor as well. We are all vaccinated and recently boosted, so that seems to be helping. Other than some hypochondria, I'm feeling great. I ran a solid 10k yesterday. I am supposed to keep reporting to work unless I test negative or have symptoms.

Thank you @Boeroer, I think I am doing everything right, I mean I used AI before.. But here are the screenshots: OMG I have just found out as I was typing and taking screenshots... Probably months if not years ago I created another preset called exactly the same "Forbidden Fist", but it was kinda of a draft. Not knowing this yesterday, I selected this preset instead of the newest one, so embarrassing ahahah I think we can archive this shameful post lol sorry for making you loose time!

just to add on to my last post: intellect is all around useful, i consider it an S-tier stat on virtually ever build, but on some classes it's lower and closer to equal footing as dexterity dexterity is a king stat in RTWP. especially for DPS, it's close to a 3% true damage multiplier. even for non-DPS, being responsive in fights is extremely valuable. perception and might are roughly similar in terms of effectiveness for pure offense - they translate to about a 2% true damage multiplier. on lower difficulties, might is more effective. on higher difficulties, perception is more effective. both become less effective as the game goes on, especially perception (eventually when you have 100% chance to hit/crit, the returns are pretty small). (edit: for offensive casters, there are few other damage bonuses, so might's effectiveness doesn't drop off as much as it does for weapon-based classes.) ideally you want to balance these out (for the same reason to the fact that to maximize the area of a quadrangle with a fixed perimeter, you prefer a square instead of a rectangle), but there are some cases where a class might want more of one than the other: for barbarians, because carnage only happens on a hit (not all the time), perception actually gives super-linear returns to barbarians up to a certain point, so barbarians want to invest in perception more rangers already have tons of accuracy bonuses, so perception is less valuable. for healer casters, might is more important for debuff casters, perception is more important etc resolve and constitution both get a bit of the short-shrift because they're defensive stats and defensive isn't how you win fights. resolve has increasing returns so in certain builds can be infinitely powerful. i tend to prefer stealing points out of resolve over stealing points from constitution since on potd i want my squishies to be able to survive incidental spells or hits (i also get frequently get Tough). edit: there are always exceptions/nuances plus the stats aren't strongly thresholded so it's hard to end up with a bad build, so don't feel like these are ironclad rules. for example, some casters might want to do with less dexterity in favor of other stats, since while being responsive (and avoiding interrupts) is good, for some casters all high dexterity means is that you just run out of spells faster, whereas putting those points into might/perception will make those same spells (albeit slower) individually more impactful. at the same time, there are a couple of items that really want you to have 25 might, so if you want to take a particularly item-flavored build, investing heavily in might at teh expense of other stats might make sense to you.

With this purchase, Obsidian is not going bankrupt and having to lay off a bunch more staff. The Microsoft acquisition of Obsidian isn't the reason Obsidian aren't currently looking to make PoE3. JE Sawyer has been relatively open that in his opinion there is likely not a high chance of a PoE3 at this stage simply because PoE2 wasn't nearly as successful as they'd hoped. https://jesawyer.tumblr.com/post/669770197986590720/hi-josh-hope-youre-doing-great-world-of-eora

I wanted to report back after playing a die and res Barbarian. The idea was to stack a bunch of "on death" items in order to set a bomb off when you die. The items I used (there may be others I missed?) are: Vengeful Defeat (lv8 ability) - Full attack AoE on death Effort 2Her- Full attack AoE on death enchantment Effigy's Husk armor- Raw damage AoE on death enchantment Least Unstable Coil belt- Shock/Stun AoE on death Cape of the Falling Star - Burn/Crush AoE on death Mantle of the Seven Bolts - Shock AoE on death Obviously, Cape of the Falling Star and Mantle of the Seven Bolts are mutually exclusive. I also found The Twin Eels to be a nice addition with its auto-res enchantment. You can charge in with Twin Eels, die, res with low health from Twin Eels enchantment, and then switch to Effort for the 2nd death. Another useful item would have been Survivor's Tusk. One of the upgrades is to res and clear all injuries. However, I was using Vatnir (modded) for this build so couldn't wear a helm. But if I was able to use it, I would have switched to Survivor's Tusk anytime I had 2 injuries so that in the next battle I could die, res, and clear the injuries back to 0. Having injuries in general doesn't bother this build that much- injuries typically just make you die faster and that's kind of the goal. But not having to rest quite as often would be a nice QoL improvement for this build. There is the ring of reset that clears injuries as well but I didn't want to bother with its limited charges. In battle, my general strategy was to Panther's Leap into a group of enemies then follow up with Dazing Shout, Spirit Tornado, and Heart of Fury. This build allows you to play really recklessly because you don't care if you die and oftentimes want to die. It's also nice to drop a dexterity debuff on top of the mobs around the barbarian since many of the death effects target reflex. In reality, I found that some of the items involved in this build were rather underwhelming. From my combat log: -Vengeful Defeat (full attack on all in range on death): This ability seemed like the best part of this build. It procs carnage and benefits from all the normal things a weapon attack normally would from what I saw (2 handed style, one stands alone, weapon quality %bonus, etc etc etc the list can get long). What's more, the penetration gets a nice ability level bonus. My combat log shows penetration at 7 base for Effort, +weapon quality bonus, and an extra 3.5 for ability level. -Valiant Demise (Effort enchantment): Also decent but not as good as Vengeful Defeat. It didn't seem to proc carnage for some reason though I wonder if I'm misreading the combat log. It would often list a bunch of hit/crit/miss in a drop down but when you expand the list it would actually show far fewer hit resolutions. Not sure which display is actually accurate. In any case, its penetration is also lower than Vengeful Defeat- you only get the normal weapon penetration and bonus penetration from weapon quality but it does benefit from all the normal weapon attack damage modifiers like Vengeful Defeat. -Effigy's Husk: The best of the non-weapon attack on death effects. This armor does a raw damage AoE on death which means penetration doesn't matter. It also gets some odd +5 accuracy bonus but it doesn't list the source of it and it targets reflex. The damage only seemed to benefit from might and the +25% damage when bloodied ability. The base damage is ~50 which is nice. -Mantle of the Seven Bolts: AoE shock damage with a penetration of 9. 9 is Ok- often underpens but maybe at a -25% or -50% penalty rather than -75%. It targets reflex and its accuracy was 84 at level 20 (20 from barbarian, 7 from perception, and 57 from level) which isn't great when many enemies are ~100 reflex.. Base damage is just ~30. In reality you end up grazing or under penetrating and doing reduced damage, especially since there are many positive damage modifiers beyond might/bloodied. -Cape of the Falling Star: It just keeps getting worse- same accuracy as Mantle but now just 7 penetration (targeting crush or fire so maybe that helps a little) which more often than not means a -75% damage modifier. Base damage is 40 but it gets so reduced by miss/graze/underpen that it becomes barely noticeable. -Unstable Coil: You would think this might be better considering it's a fairly late game item but nope, it's probably the worst of the bunch in terms of damage. Same terrible 7 penetration and low accuracy targeting reflex but now just ~30 base damage. It does stun, though, which is nice. The net effect is that you can really blow up packs of weaker enemies but you often don't make a great dent in tougher enemies. It's especially weak in encounters with very few enemies where the multi hit/AoE nature of the death effects are sort of wasted and unfortunately that can often include boss fights. Boss fights also tend to drag on which hurts this build where you can really only die so many times. But it's FUN! I think it would be nice if the penetration on falling star and coil were maybe bumped up to at least match seven bolts at 9 to make them more useful. I also considered running this type of build with a Paladin using Sacred Sacrifice. Sacred Sacrifice resses you as long as it's active when you die. However, a Paladin would be missing Vengeful Defeat which does a lot of work for the Barbarian. Also, a Paladin is mostly just bringing a self res to the table which can be accomplished by party members ressing you anyway. I think a Paladin build would be useful if Sacred Sacrifice cleared injuries so that you could die way more than 3 times (might even make it viable in boss fights!). And then there's a Monk with Dichotomous Soul or a Wizard with Phantoms. In this case you don't worry about injuries because you're sending your minions to die. For the Monk, though, your clones would just have Unstable Coil, Effigy's Husk, and one of the capes (they use fists instead of Effort I assume) and those 3 items as they currently stand don't bring a ton of damage to the table. On the plus side, Dichotomous clones are spammable in long fights though I've often found that my clones tend to live long enough to expire due to their summon duration rather than die and presumably wouldn't proc the on death effects in that case. A Wizard's phantoms would at least copy Effort for Valiant Demise procs but it's maybe harder to spam phantoms with the Wizard's resource limits. I seem to remember from past playthroughs that there is a cape (I think) that can create a bunch of copies of you, like maybe 4 or 5? And I believe they are pretty fragile so likely to die quickly? I didn't find it this playthrough for whatever reason but I really wanted to try it. I can't remember the name, though, so can't even search for where to get it. That could work really well if they all proc the item death effects. If anyone remembers that cape please let me know so I can test it out! I also haven't tried comboing this with a scroll of Avenging Storm. I would think the weapon attacks from Vengeful Defeat and Valiant Demise would proc lightning bolts? Or I wonder if there are other scrolls/items that might combo well with these effects (either the weapon attacks on everyone in range or the shock/fire/crush/raw AoE spell damage effects).

As an aside, I've got my hands on the Cowboy Bebop series, so that'll be in my future (but after Future Boy Conan, most likely, and possibly after the Galaxy Express 999 70s series).

wut.gif There was always 20 rings. The One Ring was the issue, the ring Sauron created that gave him dominion over the other rings (and thus the other ring bearers (except, IIRC, the dwarves ended up being resistant to the detrimental effects of the rings, and partially the elves...sucked to be human ring bearers, cause you got to be ringwraithed).

Final three episodes of Samurai Champloo: Much better than the previous two...but boy, what a bad day for everyone. Everyone's gonna have to take some time to sleep this one off... Great show, pretty good conclusion that thankfully didn't do anything too dumb, which I was kind of worried about going into it - they played it straight while sticking to the show's strengths, and that's a good thing. Future Boy Conan verdict: Yep, it's exactly what it presents itself as, so if that strikes your fancy, you should like it. Wish I'd liked it a bit more myself, but while the show doesn't do anything in particular to annoy me, it also just didn't do that much to ever really grab or retain my interest either. The characters that I thought were most likeable were actually three off/on minor antagonists, strangely...while I had trouble with most of the main cast, particularly the titular character and the most other important character, Lana. I should re-watch Laputa, I feel like I liked that a little bit more at least than Future Boy Conan, even if it's not particularly one of my favorite Ghibli films. I've actually looked at this show multiple times specifically because every time I see the character designs, I think that it has to be at least decent. Then I see the random screenshots users have uploaded and nope right out - that's not going to happen.

there you go. now even gd can see where his problem on this is, yes? indulge a trumpist "some people say" kinda response? ... regardless, crt is not being taught to middle or high school kids anywhere, so is weird gd just kinda accepts and parrots the criticisms level'd at crt in spite o' fact they is coming from same sources telling him crt is being taught to cindy lou who at sebastian j. mcgrinch middle school in nakipoo, tennessee. not 'bout apologies. is definite not overdramatizing. is not 'bout victimization, though am s'posing some could read that way if they read into it what they wanna... which is kinda reflexive natural anytime race is an issue. crt is an all-inclusive theory which posits racism is normal and becomes codified in laws. racism natural is extreme well entrenched in societies and w/o serious and real pressures, typical economic forces, racism continues in part 'cause is utter pervasive and self perpetuating... but do not repeat this gross oversimplification back to us 'cause again, is comical simplified. our criticism o' crt is that a bunch o' lawyers came up with a theory focused on the laws o' nations as evidence and explanation for racism, the universe and everything. if somebody tells you they cracked the code on economics or political systems, chances are you laugh at them for their arrogance, then spend effort reading their argument, then laugh at them again 'cause they proved you correct for laughing at them the first time. crt is deserving to be taught to harvard lawyers, which were the original use o' the theory, in small part to get 'em to consider racism as something pervasive but normal which could be analyzed a bit more dispassionate. crt doesn't need be true to be useful from an education standpoint if it manages to promote critical thinking o' a complex issue all too often drowned in rhetoric. the effort to take the moral and emotional outta racism is maybe ironic given how much o' a kerfuffle crt has created, though again, is race, so 'course people is gonna lose their water at the mere mention. HA! Good Fun!

I didn't notice any of my items not performing their on death attacks during my (limited) testing. At least a few times I know they all occured. The only thing I was really confused about was the carnage attacks and how the combat log "group" description might list something like 10 hit/5 crit/5 miss and then when I opened up that group for more details it would only list, say, 12 attacks. I might try to test this with fewer enemies to see if I can make it make sense (I was using the SSS slayer fight with the lions/panthers/staelgars). I might have to respec a Barbarian without Vengeful defeat in order to really see if Valiant demise trips carnage or not.

Welcome to our "Learning is Fun" series! Master the basics of arithmetic and geometry with @thelee while playing Deadfire! Module 1: Inversions. Chapter 1: "Why does it suck so bad when I Graze vs. Hit?"

Oh thank you a lot. Wonderful version of Eothas' theme. Love it.

The simple memorization is still an option (unless you have a bad math teacher.) But the focus is on developing complex critical thinking skills that can apply to a wide spectrum of problems instead of just memorizing 9x8=72. I do the same thing in Social Science. I don't care if you can memorize names and dates. I want you to be able to recognize trends and analyze cause and effect. I mean we all have calculators and phones with the entirety of human knowledge in our possession. We don't need to be able to remember basic trivia, we need to be able to think critically. But I digress. edit: I'm also only referring to elementary level math. I have no idea what is happening at the High School level.

It would create an unimaginable horror thrust on us gamers .....Im having this recurring nightmare of sanitized ( your word and a good word ) RPGs from the like of Bethesda and Obsidian full of SJWism where you have to " make sure you considering the feelings of the diabolical, man-eating dragon and how you mustnt trigger it so it requires a safe space "

Plus more time wasted on the boring, boring superhero genre.

I just like it. I have no argument other than that. I don't think all games should be isometric but my favorite ones tend to be.

There is a God, and He hates us.

We can't all be the ones who read 120 pages of something from a different country for fun

It's THERE dammit... If you ask the Chinese, they will tell you they have millions of immigrants, ethnic Tibetans, Uighurs etc. who have all been welcomed into the Chinese motherland. Russia has also welcomed a hundreds of thousands of immigrants, many of them even bringing their own land in Donbas and Crimea when they moved to Russia! Ok, that wasn't meant seriously. I do think (seriously), that while the US is barely out of legal racism (people of colour are now allowed to marry white people legally in the South, can even use the same public transport). It's still a brand new thing though, in a historical context. The racism is still embedded very deeply on a societal and cultural level, even if not on a legislative level anymore.

crt is 'bout grievance. is not complicated. crt is not being taught in public schools. is university (typical Graduate level) course work. whenever evidence is shown o' it being taught in schools, what is actual revealed is educators discussing ways to make classrooms more inclusive-- is teachers and superintendents self-educating or engaging in continuing education. we got a generation o' white americans who has suffered economic hardships for the past couple decades. is not that white american hardships is worse than minority hardships, but if you is working two jobs (both o' which is just shy o' technical full-time so your employer need not provide benefits) and you nevertheless can't pay rent and utilities and health insurance, somebody must be to blame. so, far-right radio and other media sources, taking cues from rush limbaugh, realized that there were a very large % o' the population which were angry and those people could be politicized and even radicalized. that angry and white portion o' the population were not happy to hear that in spite o' the fact they were working twelve to fifteen hour days, they were nevertheless gonna lose their family farm or that the factory job they had earned were disappeared to mexico or asia or 'cause o' robots. simultaneous, rush and others were blaming migrants for taking domestic jobs, and all those uneducated white americans were being told that while they suffered, junkie street people were getting free money handouts they were just gonna blow on more drugs. and how long is good americans needing to sit in silence as minorities have more kids so they can get bigger free checks from the government? where is the sympathy and handouts for the white working class, the people who deserve help? well, rush and bannon and finally trump tells 'em that is all 'bout the libs trying to screw real americans. the somebody screwing real americans is the libs and the reason for the greatest ream job in american history is 'cause o' some misplaced notion that white americans is the cause o' every problem minorities suffer today. for chrissakes, the civil war ended slavery. you people got brown v. board of education and equality. you even got affirmative action which took jobs away from more qualified whites. are you grateful? no. every time some cop does his job, before you know what the real story is, you people are there in the night burning businesses and stealing tires and hair extensions, just like you always do. sounds racist? sounds ridiculous? crt is not being taught in public schools, but it is a theory which educators has debated and even embraced in part or whole. white americans don't know what crt is, but they do understand it is related to education and they is certain, in spite o' their admitted ignorance as to what exact is crt, that it is yet another example o' the libs blaming white americans for every misfortune which has ever befallen a minority, and the base is way past being tired o' being unjust blamed. real americans is angry and they finally got a President and a party who speaks to them, speaks for them. illegal aliens. welfare leeching junkies. fat cats sending their work to asia or central america. college educated libs. the new gop is finally speaking out against these evils. AP FACT CHECK: Trump seeds race animus with COVID falsehood crt grievance isn't real. the base is even more lazy than chairchucker and is less likely to know what crt is. is no way in hell the base knows if crt is being taught in public schools to middle and high school kids. however, the anger is real. HA! Good Fun!

Basically what Sawyer is saying is that they would need to figure out exactly why PoE2 didn't do well whereas other isometric games (I believe he mentions Pathfinder and Divinity: Original Sin) did. They can't just put out PoE3 with no changes and expect it to do better than PoE2.

Yeah, it was in Cleveland. Baker had the 'heart punch' which had allegedly killed two wrestlers (Alberto Torres and Ray Gunkel, both who died after matches with Baker but not because of the matches) and the riot started after he repeatedly heart punched Ernie Ladd. Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express against the Rock and Roll express triggered riots in Tulsa and Black Jack Mulligan got stabbed during a riot in Boston off the top of my head. Obtopic, wrestling aired at 6 pm Sat and Sun so many childhood dinners were eaten with wrestling on.

Magic User's Club, TV edition. Episode one. There are moments in life when you instantly regret something you've done. Like casually telling your wife that her sister is really attractive, or sitting down naked in a field of nettles, or you could perhaps attempt to use a needle and some ink to tattoo yourself instead of leaving it a professional. Then there are things like... the opening of this series, where you suddenly start to think that the sweet caress of nettles on your nether regions or swift kick therein by your wife is preferable to seeing Takeo and Ayanojō - in case you have forgotten my previous posts or repressed them, the former is the Magic User's Club president, and the latter is his really obviously gay friend who is voiced by DIO and had a nice talk about having a crush on someone who doesn't reciprocate it with Sae's friend Nanaka, which was one of the few highlights of the OVA - sitting on top of each other in a darkened room, softly moaning, leaving you only to wonder what sort of stupid joke they came up with to explain what's painfully obviously not the hot gay seks it appears to be. From left to right: Sae, Nanaka, Takeo, DIO Ayanojō and Akane. In case you can't figure out who DIO and who Akane is because they're on top of each other, keep in mind that DIO is the really, really gay one. Yep. If your answer was that Ayanojō is sewing a hole in Takeo's pants and Takeo moaning because his back hurts, then congratulations, you're as retarded as the writer of this travesty, but what would you expect from the same person that wrote Futari Ecchi, episodes of Princess Tutu and Serial Experiments Lain and an episode of Vampire Princess Miyu... wait a moment. What? Everything else is pretty much as the OVA left it, except it looks worse because they probably made 13 episodes and not 6 out of the same budget, and that budget couldn't have been high considering the screenshots I posted from the commercial "documentary" about the making of the OVA. Akane is busy slutting around and not coming to the club meeting, Nanaka is coming along with Sae but complains about it all the time, Sae tries to be confident but isn't, Ayanojō is really, really gay (did I mention that yet?) and Takeo... well, at least he didn't have a nosebleed yet, or at least I don't think being totally red in face from imagining Sae in a ripped club uniform counts. I'll admit that the premise of this episode, which is the club fighting a giant cherry blossom tree that is now where the alien ship of the OVA was, isn't so bad. Sae messes up the spell and animates the tree instead of turning it into petals, and big tiddies manga lady is off to negotiate on behalf of humanity because she thinks herself special after the aliens from the OVA fondled her with their tentacle probes. No, really, not only is that exactly what happend in the OVA, it's also what they went with in this episode. The mosnter tree is slowly moving through the city, and the military is attempting to intercept it. Sae, who befriended the tree in the meantime (sort of) wants to protect it, and so they cast a spell to save the tree from a helicopter borne misslie barrage by creating a sakura whirlwind. Actually, the episode wasn't nearly as bad as the post makes it out to be. The ecchi elements were toned down a lot, probably because keeping them at the OVA level wouldn't have worked too well with a TV release. The animation is understandably worse than in the OVA, which isn't much of a surprise. Giant breasted lady and the gay joke from the opening aside, this was as okay as you can reasonably expect an episode of this trash to be. I'll say one nice thing about it, and I hope that won't turn into regret in the next episode, that ending and Sae making friends with the tree was pretty nice, and Ikuko Itō's character designs are - as in the OVA, and as usual - pretty good. The voice acting and direction is also fine, but that feels like such an afterthought it barely matters. They used the old outro lullaby in the episode, instead for the ending. So boo. The opening and ending songs are okay, though.

Well, with smartphones these days, they almost are.

Yes, for wrestling it is. Also just referred to as heat. In the older days of wrestling, heels could generate enough heat that they'd get attacked by spectators. My dad knew a guy who worked at a local tv station, so he got in behind the scenes and got to see Freddie Blassie in his prime work the crowd such that security kept having to keep people from attacking him.

Tbh, every square inch of public schools should be wired for sound and video (except bathrooms of course).

rile up a texas crowd is the easiest thing one may possible imagine. two words: boomer sooner. done. then again, she probable weren't trying to start a riot. HA! Good Fun!

There's a mod that adds hookers, because of course there would be, so go for it

Yes I discovered it back when his mod also had a "Fast Empower" ability instead of Lasting Empower that removed all recovery from empowered attacks, which led to Tekehu being even more crazy since he also had a Blade Cascade effect on top of what is described here.

Judging by the portrait, in Expeditions: Rome, you can play a hobbit wizard: If you can't come up with a character name, just play a woman. They don't get names. Though I am pretty certain that randomly generated nickname is calling me a bitch: You start on a boat. Which seems to be every other game these days. With teenage Caesar as a tutorial npc. Someone should have told them that a Teenage Werewolf in Expeditions: Rome does not make for a good movie title. At least my boat has pretty green eyes: And it seems I have my own patreon already set up:

Happy new year ! I just wanted to know if this project is still alive

When entering the fungus-infested wing of the library in Forgotten Sanctum, your party sees huge bookshelves ruined by the infestation, and Vatnir has some ambient dialogue. I'm going to paraphrase it from memory: "Scribes toiled for countless years to create these tomes. Now look at them. Fools." This really stuck with me because it was a rare example of a character in the game expressing a religious point of view in a way that was neither abstract nor directly about a deity. We hear plenty of talk about Rymrgand being the god of entropy, impermanence, final endings, etc., and we see plenty of people talk about their devotion to him and other gods. But it is rare to see a character's religious views influence their attitude towards the mundane in a way that's not entirely on the nose. It would have been nice to see more of this in the game. Have characters' religiosity come out in how they respond to actual situations, not just in abstract pontificating and declarations of devotion. Does anyone have more examples?
