The TV and Streaming thread Series 3
I really, really hope the rumors of Avery Brooks coming back to play the Sisko aren't true. Maybe, and that's a real big maybe, if they bring back some of the DS9 writers and do something like they pitched in the documentary it could work but I don't want these new Trek "writers" anywhere near my Sisko. Yes, I personally own DS9 and all things related. Or at least I own this one box set. Same difference really.

Military Thread: Humanity Hanging from a Cross of Iron
NJP is generally the best route but since it's commander's discretion I've seen some really lopsided outcomes. We had a corporal and a gunny both get busted for the exact same thing, drunk driving, and the CO gave them vastly different punishments. I know it ended the gunny's chance at promotion but not much else happened to him while the corporal didn't just get the book thrown at him, he was beaten with it.

Talking Hardball. The 2020 Baseball Thread
I miss Round Table. I loved that place as a kid but they closed all the ones near us and I think the only one left in AZ is in Yuma. The closest to me now is probably in Vegas Go baseballs! See, I'm on topic

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
Kingmaker has come a long way from launch but I still see complaints about bugs. I haven't had anything beyond an occasional crash to desktop but I play Obsidian games so my bug tolerance is fairly high.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
It's even less than in those games

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
This one really bugs me as well as one of my favorite things to do is really get into building my character but levelling up in this game feels so unsatisfying with the lack of options

Yeah, I hate weekly releases now. I just wait until it's all out for every show that still does it or tries to bring it back.

What Are You Playing Now: Gaming Lives
I used to love franchise mode but now all I play is career/story mode. I don't touch the ultimate team/money grind stuff. May still give Axis a look though

Microsoft buys Bethesda
We wouldn't really know how many jobs he hasn't gotten because of that

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
D&D:OS I'm having a hard time continuing on. I may put this down until the full release where I'll probably make it a little further before dropping it an never picking it up again. It's just too much D:OS and not enough BG for me to stay interested. That reminds me, I've been wanted to do another run of Siege of Dragonspear.

I'm really not a fan of Harris and her performance here did nothing to move that needle

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
I'm playing as a warlock and every time I have to use my eldritch blast I try not to pay too much attention. It's not super horrible but for an ability that I have to spam it's too jazzy.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
Yeah, the checks are plentiful and I keep failing them. Save scumming will likely be a lot of work with my luck. The guy who wrote that it's kind of a miserable experience had some points, I think. Some of the spell effects are a bit over the top and irritating too. Controls and UI are a bit wonky and I don't understand why I can't target a characters portrait to use my spells and scrolls because fallen characters sometimes get lost in the clutter on the ground. Or kind of sink into the ground but I'm going to assume those are just beta issues.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
Is the lower stat cap at character creation a 5th edition thing or a Larian one? Totally unrelated but I think I may have failed nearly every skill and attribute check right up until I died not so gloriously in battle.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
I played for about an hour and half and didn't like it I'll try again eventually
