Solasta - I owned this on Steam and never got very far. I'd make a party, and then re-think my choices, and start again. I did this a half dozen times. So basically I had 20 hours of making characters. I decided to try again, but I wanted the DLC classes, so I bought the Lightbrimger Edition on GoG, as it was on sale for a good price. I managed to push past the first mission and now I'm starting to get into the rhythm. Hopefully it lasts. 😆

I really, really like their implementation on 5e. I hope the sequel will improve all other aspects of the game.

My biggest issue with P:K is

That game really clicked with me. The plot isn't groundbreaking. The UI isn't the prettiest. But it was the closest a PC game got to the fun of being a teenager and hanging out with friends playing DnD.

Bessent is probably going to eject from this circus soon

WotR is linear longer, so it's harder to completely miss stuff. But you'll miss some things, like Mythic Paths. So if you want to be a Lich, yeah, use a guide. I have this problem with every RPG.

Honestly, I kind of thought crisis might be the whole point: crisis, after all, generally leads to the seizing of more power, not the loss of it. Even if you're the one who's deliberately causing it.

Considering that Congress prevented Biden's admin to get through their policies to prevent illegal border crossings, because Trump asked them to do so that he can use those illegal border crossing in his campaign and now those polices have been enabled and border crossing are decreasing. So how much credit we should give Trump and republicans for solving issue they themselves created in order to win election? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/senate-democrats-immigration-border-bill https://apnews.com/article/congress-ukraine-aid-border-security-386dcc54b29a5491f8bd87b727a284f8 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/senate-republicans-block-bipartisan-border-package-scrapping-deal-they-had-demanded-from-democrats https://eu.azcentral.com/story/opinion/op-ed/ej-montini/2024/08/22/trump-border-bill-arizona-visit/74898253007/

0/5, no Jubilost.

Of all these old RPGs, the only two I really want remasters of are Neverwinter Nights 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. The first I am hopeful that recent find in SteamDB proves true and we will have it. The second I highly doubt will ever happen, which is a shame.

I don't really remember Oblivion being all that exciting in terms of story and setting. Is that the one where I had to close a bunch of gates? Morrowind would be more interesting to me. Maybe that will be next.

From a certain perspective, it can be viewed as a race against time: will DJT ruin the economy before he can impose his vision of an authoritarian regime. In that case it can make tactical sense to delay his imposed measures for as long as possible. Hence, we get a massive number of lawsuits while the judicial branch still retains power. I don't think DJT's measures to limit immigration will be disfavored by a majority voters. Likewise, the focus on transgender is a side issue. It's all about the economy.

Like many things in Kingmaker I would miss him completely, if I didn't get frustrated with a substantial lack of available advisors and looked for a guide. In fact I found playing Kingmaker without a guide on the 2nd screen to be a miserable experience. Anyway, I am glad you enjoy it and I hope you continue to do so. I am still scared to dive into Wrath of the Righteous. I started it and PTSD started to come back.

I brought that up before too but I got some handwavey response about perceptions or something.

I just has my most difficult battle around strategy, it was the Womb of Lamashtu quest And it was at the end where you need to split your party, lucky I double up on roles but it was very tough. The hard part was the second battle because I hasnt rested and my party was wounded and low on spells. But I used scrolls, potions and then a Wyvern summon that helped distract all the monsters that appear Havent come across him yet but I see he should be available in my city

I spent 12 bucks on a photography sim called - Lushfoil Photography Sim. I like photography, I like taking game screenshots. I probably will like this game. ---location areas are locked until you take pictures of certain things. I suppose this helps it mentally qualify as a "game" (goals) but I was hoping for more freedom from the start. ---based on real locations, it's quite beautiful in that game-y way. But it's empty. No ppl, I haven't noticed any wildlife to speak of - maybe I saw a cat - so it feels kind of hollow. And kind of over-brightened and monotone outside of occasional splashes of bright color buildings. I bet it would be cool in VR tho. ---it's basically a make your own nature wallpaper walking sim. Pics you take get put in a folder as png and you can do what you want with them. In the end, I didn't finish (yet). I would say I didn't dislike it, but it didn't feel creative to me (taking pictures). Just walk along take a picture of a lake, a tree, a rocky vista. It might be immersive visually for some for a while, but that's about all it has. I would rather roam around in Death Stranding and take screenshots.

In other news, USA now such a terrible destination that Mexicans prefer life under the cartels.

Your math was correct, in that it caclulated the change in the percentage of Grazes that would convert to hits. I just took it the next step, by expressing it as a percentage of all attack rolls, not just the ones that resolved as a Graze on the first pass. [EDIT: And I did it wrong-- math now fixed below!] And I was only talking about the marginal increase that you get from Confident Aim, not the total of the PER inspiration and Confident Aim. To illustrate, assume that you're attacking an enemy with a weapon you're proficient with, and your total ACC is perfectly equal to their Deflection. With no buffs: A straight d100 roll against the game's thresholds. 24% chance to Miss, a 25% chance to Graze, a 50% chance to Hit, and a 1% chance to Crit. With just Confident Aim: As above, but add 30% Graze-to-Hit after the initial result. 24% Miss, 17.5% Graze, 57.5% Hit, 1% Crit. With just Disciplined Barrage: the +5 PER translates directly to ACC, which shrinks the Miss window and adds to Crit. Your first pass results in a 19% Miss, 25% Graze, 50% Hit, 6% Crit. Then you apply the 50% Graze-to-Hit conversion for 19% Miss, 12.5% Graze, 62.5% Hit, 6% Crit. With both Confident Aim and Disciplined Barrage: As above, but apply both G2H conversions sequentially. 19% Miss, 8.75% Graze, 66.25% Hit, 6% Crit. Lastly, remember that this is a best-case scenario. If you're fighting an overpowered enemy or if you've buffed your ACC and debuffed your enemy signficantly, you might have a smaller initial Graze window, which would reduce the number of times that the conversion is relevant.

He delivered, specifically, on negative things. So that's what we talk about. Promises and commitments with wildly negative consequences.

Does the end justify the means? Sure, he managed to make mexicans not go into america anymore. Awesome! How did he do that? He deports the ones that still do into death camps, lol.

Jubilost might not necessarily be available at that point.
