Maybe this should've been in the funny thread, but despite all it's humour and memes, I must say as a Gen-X, I can relate wholeheartedly to this

Oh, I thought it was moved into the future. Welp, guess that bridge will stay broken then. 0/10, not gonna play.

According to the devs they were holding back the PC release waiting for Console. As packed as end if August is, they decided to release PC early and PC5 will get a consolation price when Starfield releases

solution from +6 months previous to today: it is possible to rest at threshold. so, rest for the needed months at threshold. your crusade morale will drop for failure to take new forts, but w/o reentering the world map you won't suffer additional army attacks. functionally there is no penalty for low morale if you never leave threshold while advancing the calendar. HA! Good Fun!

You could have a real fun time playing both! Pick one as your MC and hire the other as a custom hireling. That would be a very fun evil party duo. If you do, give the FF/SG Magran's Favor and Tuotilo's shield per @Powerotti's recommendation, and equip the trickster/SG with WotEP per @Boeroer's. Give the latter 10 STR and also pump up RES, so both toons can torch mobs with sacred immolation late game. You'd want to give the latter Mohora's Wraps since they'd lack Clarity of Agony. If you want, you could go with a trio by adding a psion/woedica priest, if you want extra CC and debuffing. I have recently been playing a psion mystic and it is loads of fun; you can just alternate casting cipher powers and priest spells all day long.

I bet they are fixing the bridge where the boat didn't fit through.

less funny but similar. were a tiktok video which went viral for five minutes earlier this year https://scoop.upworthy.com/college-student-explains-why-it-is-so-hard-for-young-graduates-to-find-jobs 'course gen x had to show up and be gen x. were dozens o' folks who actual lived during the 80s explaining that karen's reality take o' the 80s weren't... real. https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d07/tables/dt07_381.asp adjusted for inflation starting income for college grads has actual increased since the 80s, and the suggestion entry-level bank tellers were making $36k per year in 1980 were derided by more than a few old people who chose to respond to the creator o' the tik tok. is not to say things were more difficult for college grads in the 80s. student debt, for example, were a far different beast when parachute pants was a thing than it is today. am also sympathetic to the painful realization for too many that their 2023 communications degree from csu chico is not gonna open many doors, much less $80k per year jobs. young people were sold a fantasy 'bout the benefits o' a college degree which were never complete true but is far less true today than were the case in the 80s. regardless, while the tiktok video itself were not particular interesting, we were genuine fascinated (not surprised) by how different gen x, millennials and gen z audiences responded to the vid. HA! Good Fun!

I mean you can pretty much shape the aesthetic of your druid. In PoE you'll get all the druid spells automatically (like Priest) so the "building" of your character is limited spell-wise - but it's still your choice which spells you want to use. In Deadfire you have to pick spells at level-up which leads to an even more individually shaped character. But yeah... "nature" will always be a prominent element of a druid. Even if you set aside all the elemental and beast stuff and focus on decay or so.

Saints Row The Dustmoot, the LARP event you get roped into by one of the NPC's is fun. The concept is the event is played across the whole city and virtually everyone except the player character knows about it, is super excited, and participates. So if you use larp weapons outside the missions, anyone you meet will still get the rper overacting death animation, possibly with a line like "the light leaves my eyes..." I like the concept of the swat team returning to the police station and saying "sorry, we couldn't arrest them, they killed our dustmoot characters".

i watched the first episode that was something it was not bad, but it was something kind of like if zero punctuation wrote a show, but with some interesting character writing

I broke my own rule about not watching anything that has Alex Kurtzman's fingerprints on it and attempted to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I made it about halfway through season 1 when I lost the will to continue, for now, anyway, which I think is further than I made it with Discovery. I'll give it this, it's not the horrific nightmare that was what I saw of Discovery and at no point was I seriously considering throwing my TV out of the window. Anson Mount is good as Pike and the show does have that hopeful vibe that I'm looking for with Star Trek. It's got it's moments and the melodrama is not quite as ridiculous as in Discovery. But man, they get so ****ing proud of themselves. There are those moments at the ends of the episodes where I can see the writers patting themselves on the back and I guess I'm supposed to get teary eyed and maybe I should stand up and clap or pump my fist in the air, I think that's the reaction they thought I'd have. This is me instead:

Still wrapping up Poe1 but I am leaning towards either this or Trickster/SG. I think those are the two I've narrowed it down to.

With mods. I used toybox.

That's a long roading way to say 'cringe'.
