I spent dozens and dozens of hours in this game. Such a great time. If you implemented NG+ I'd definitely put dozens of more into it. Don't need any new content. I just don't wanna lose my progress. If I could keep my inventory and level and then bump up to hardest difficulty I'd have a blast experimenting with new gear, abilities and dialogue. If it doesn't come, oh well, tons of other games to play Game was dope. Thanks for creating an incredible piece of art & entertainment1 point

They are not different, they just look better graphically. The first one is always fun as a low level noob suddenly plunged into a terrible world. But doing it over and over again was the flaw in the original. I'm pretty sure that will still be a slog.1 point

Hello , I've spent the last days developing these Avowed Interactive Maps, with locations for Pickups, Interactable Corpses, Loot Holders/Chests, and much more. It's not finished, but I am very happy about the results so far. Expect regular updates with more filters, better tooltip descriptions, and maps for the towns and dungeons. In addition, I am working on an In-Game app, which will track your player position and sync it with the maps (Overlay/2nd Screen). You can find most regions so far, including filters for the most important filters. I like to add monsters too soon. Track your progress by settings locations as discovered (right-click or click in the tooltip). This should help you to collect all the secrets! In case that you don't want to get spoilers about the game locations, you can disable all filters and track them by your own using the Add Node and Add Drawings features! Please let me know what you think and keep in mind, that this project is very new and some locations might be wrong or missing. I appreciate your feedback!1 point

Hey, I need you people to dreamlist The Black Cauldron. It's worth it, trust me. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/the-black-cauldron-19861 point

I finished the 3rd season of Bad Batch. It was a very good show from start to finish. I worked my way through The Clone Wars and then went straight to it, and it really fleshed out the whole timeline. It was easily some of the best Star Wars content I've watched. Now I'm trying to watch Rebels. Its...different. The tone is a lot less serious. It is tough going from Bad Batch, which was gritty and grounded, to this kind of goofy Jedi adventure. Even the art is a big change. But I'm giving it a shot, and I hear it gets better as it goes along.1 point

Closed my first Obsidian Gate. It was still pretty epic. It has aged well. Now my opinion might change after I close a dozen or so, but for now, I'm enjoying the trip down memory lane.1 point

the government's own affidavits submitted severe undermine the narrative that the judge were trying obstruct an arrest, or at the very least, the proof beyond a reasonable doubt standard needed to prove intent o' the judge is looking to be an insurmountable hurdle. first, pretty much no judge allows arrests in their courtroom, so there is a question as to what the heck the fed agents were doing in the first place as they were clear doing not business as usual. maybe 'cause the public don't know what is ordinary, the judge ejecting the feds from her court sounds nefarious but it most certain is not. second, the judge's actions don't look particular obstructive when you read details. while the judge did send flores-ruiz out of her court through the jury door, that egress point led to only one exit-- a hallway where, according to the fed's affidavit, two agents were waiting. if judge dugan were trying something sneaky, then sending him virtual into the arms o' the feds looks shaky. heck, again, according to the fed's own affidavit, flores-ruiz took the elevator down to the ground floor o' the courthouse before he tried to run, and he were not alone in the elevator but were in fact accompanied by a fed agent. ... found a useful link is a bit o' unnecessary editorializing, but read all fourteen. again, even the government has gotta know beyond a reasonable doubt is goanna be insurmountable, so the arrest o' the judge and detainment looks performative. this also looks pretty bad. maga has tried to make this a damned if you do scenario and they once again complete miss the underlying due process aspect. the government offers no meaningful proof, but they claim the deported mothers were asked whether they wanted to bring their US citizen children with 'em and they responded in the affirmative. maga: you libs are gonna be angry no matter what. if there is child separation, you whine. if the child stays with the parent and is deported, the social justice warriors complain. it's a no win. Gromnir: bs we don't have any evidence the mothers agreed other than government says so, but beyond that, we are told these women weren't allowed to talk to family or lawyers when confronted with the dilemma o' whether or not to leave their children in the US. the children, who is US citizens, unquestionable deserve due process before deportation and getting a head nod or a quick signature on a form from mom before being loaded on a plane is unlikely to satisfy due process. furthermore, the law says the mothers get process. even if you think undocumented immigrants don't deserve process, the law says otherwise... and thank god for that fact. example: have mentioned more than once that Gromnir looks quite a bit like esai morales, sans facial hair and the grey. inexplicable have very little grey hair thus far. anyways, tomorrow we could be picked up off the street by ice, thrown in a van, and subsequent sent to el salvador 'cause we look like an undocumented immigrant on some list. once in cecot, the US could claim there were no way for them to correct their mistake. oopsies. so sorry. due process is those steps which allows Gromnir to challenge the government before or after they does something wrong. if the government claims we is undocumented, a gang member, insurrectionist or terrorist, we should have a way to contest those assertions, no? again, like it or not, undocumented folks get due process 'cause its in the freaking Constitution. not only do we give undocumented folks process to prevent mistakes, but Congress also passed all kinda laws making it possible for undocumented folks to make asylum claims, so being undocumented don't necessarily mean they got no right to be in the US. relative quick aside, am having mentioned how for a few years we worked at a juvenile detention facility. am mentioning 'cause you would likely be shocked to discover just how little process is involved with categorizing a person as a gang member. we were warned during training that while a kid could have their criminal record expunged when they reached eighteen, the gang label would potential stick with kids for life. when a kid were brought into juvenile hall, during the intake process, we would affix appropriate labels to their file... or update existing labels. gang affiliation were one such label. nothing nefarious for you numerous acab folks. example: s-1 were a designation which indicated that a kid were suicidal or had a history o' self harm. s-1 kids were typical housed with a roommate but for obvious reasons the roommate would not be s-1; two s-1 in the same room were a recipe for tragedy. ok, but there were also designations which indicated an individual were a sexual predator, and those kids were typical housed solo, 'cause bad things could happen at night and between room checks. so what do you do if a kid is both suicidal AND a sexual predator... we don't need to get into all the ugly details, but as mentioned, one o' those "s- __" designations we utilized at juvenile hall were gang affiliation. you can likely guess why the staff at a juvenile hall would wanna know if a kid were a gang member and to which gang they had an affiliation. the thing is, that s-6 designation decision likely took less than a minute o' reflection by staff. typical factors: tattoos, input from the cop dropping off the kid at the hall, self-identification o' the minor. on busy days/nights at juvenile hall, there were considerable motivation to get kids processed asap. personal, we only ever listed a kid as s-6 if they claimed to be a gang member... we let unit staff who had more time figure it out. the thing is, am also confident a few kids lied about gang affiliation when asked. a few o' the folks sent to cecot were first identified as tren de aragua when they were minors and am having only a little doubt that the original labeling were 'bout as probative as what we saw day in, and day out working at juvenile hall. as such am not shocked so many ended up in cecot for little other than suspicious tattoos and maybe secondhand input from a cop. is perhaps worse to realize that the gang identification efforts used to send so many to a dystopian hell hole were likely less sinister than you believe and instead were ordinary. some clown working at a juvenile hall or jail in kokomo, indiana six years ago probable spent less than a minute deciding whether or not a new intake were a gang member, and that initial assessment stuck. HA! Good Fun!1 point

From a powergaming perspective you should do every quest possible, since quests translate into stronghold turns which translate into adventures that can give you very desirable rewards, so you would want to wait for their quests, yes. And, of course, a stat boost is better than a benched NPC, especially if you're cool with replacing them with in-most-cases-stronger mercenaries. So if it won't bother you in character or out of character to do it, go for it as soon as you're "done" with your intended victim. If you intend to play Deadfire and import your Pillars 1 history there, know that this decision will carry over.1 point
