VVs are no slouches after nerf either. It was them who mass-terrified that horde of mythic path leftovers that turned up to help my Legend dude, including the huge poser devil in fancy dress (Mephistopheles I think?) and Smug Mug's brother-lover (Sogothbenot? ...said Yoda to his teenager granddaugther...). Was funny to see them brownpants puffing their chests afterwards, saying stuff like "We sure annihilated them, yay me!"

Regarding those "Damned if I do, damned if I don't" posts -- subtitles are correct, but you gotta understand that there is no rule of law in russia, law's just a tool of ruling cleptocracy's. Nevzorov once dug up some article that makes that old baboon a criminal for starting the war, and so what? So if someone wants to give you 10 years for peaceful protest, they will find a way, and if you're in top caste and killed a five year old on the crosswalk while driving drunk, you can sue his parents for damage to your car and win the case too.

Speaking of crows...

Yeah, got hit by a truck. His car, that is.

I'm reading reports that russians mined everything to hell, so progress is going to be slow because of this reason too. Fingers crossed those scumbags do not destroy the dam as part of their scorched earth doctrine. ...really not waiting for more war crime testimonies, but there is going to be. Oh, and Gauleiter of Kherson's deputy of sorts, particularly scummy Stremousov, died in a "car accident". There are quite a few theories floating that it was inside job, what methinks is more appropriate "Eat karma, bitch!" than if Ukrainians murked him.

Not as much as "withdrawing" as "getting swept out like trash they are", but otherwise correct.

Whichever side breaches the dam, it's still russians who are reportedly stealing ambulance vehicles, boats (and sinking ones that they don't steal) etc. from Kherson and settlements around the dam. Cause you know, those civilians ain't gonna kill themselves if the dam does go kablooey.

Wrathfinder's "Horrid wilting" is more like "Skipped-watering-yesterday wilting" compared to same spell in D&D-based spell. Same with "Hum of the banshee" and "Finger of mild cardiac arrest", like, if game forgets to cheat for once and that peg-legged, sickly, Alzheimer-ridden minor demon you are trying to attack with it fails both saves, it still does kitten scratch damage because of some innate resistances or **** like that. That's probably what annoys me the most with Pathfinder - trillion gazillion spells and not a 10% of them are worthy to bother with. Aaaaanyway. Dinged the Aeon level with the druid, completely forgot I have spell book merge mod so he'll be alright even if shapeshifting does not work out. Still feels kinda weak after Lich and Angel -> Legend. Have probably the nicest theme music though and cool visual effects (that unfortunately bug out constantly, making him leave his blue swirlies behind, and city streets are full of blue constellation clusters that do not belong to anyone.

So this turned up on my 'tube recommendations yesterday and of course I am going to share, lest @majestic thinks he's got monopoly to music's, ah, peculiar cases.

I do agree about needless excessive consumption that could be curbed in these trying times and that's it's OK for outbidden (is there such a word even?) countries to feel slighted and owe nothing to Europe, and that is indeed absolutely 100% not their fault, which is because it is 100% absolutely russia's fault. Wouldn't you think that being cross with Europe, but not with the actual culprit - russia - in this situation is, well, a tad hypocritical? As for realpolitik, why do you think Europe expects solidarity? My knowledge on realpolitik is admittedly shallow, but I don't think it ever included expecting to get anything for free. I mean, it would be nice to get free stuff of course, but not exactly expected? It's more like "It might be mutually beneficial for us all if you took our side, and if you want to go spanner in the works on us we can make it, shall we say, quite unbeneficial for you", which is just politics. Also, what countries get labeled as war criminals and Russia supporters when they are not? Because the opposite thing IMO is more prevalent right now, i.e. countries who quietly help russia fly under radar (or more likely everyone knows but nobody says anything).

And what do you think Europe should do? Please don't say "Give in to blackmail by disgusting little piece of **** tyrant". I also don't get you constantly being snide at Europe's so-called "moral superiority" any time some European official calls out russia on its atrocities. How do you think that horror of a country's crimes should be called out? Like, "Russia, you are bad, but we are WORSE! Also hypocrites! Please forgive us Iraq and Iran, Serbia and Afghanistan, La Conquista, the Inquisition, ****ing up China with opium and lets throw it in Black Plague for good measure?", something like that? Also, Mamoulian War already said it, but I'll just repeat it for yer daily emphasis: "taking the 3rd world's resources " happens only because russia blackmails Europe with cutting off energy. Why it blackmails Europe? Because it wants its sanctions lifted. Why it got sanctioned? Because it attacked its neighboring country and as of right now still keeps destroying it, one civilian infrastructure after another. It all happens because russia started this war. It is russia's fault.

I read KP's and Insane's posts on this page, there are words and sentences but I do not understand any of them

I made a court poet for Azata myffic, but, well, it's kind of boring to play (granted, I'm a level 6 just outta Chapter 1, but still) and I'm not sure what else can I do with it after I get Dirge O'Doom at 10. Also to my surprise, the starknife - ninja star looking thing - is not a ranged weapon. It's ****ing melee. How can you even use that thing without constantly poking your own armpit? Shifter druid so far is, eh...anything he can do, his own animal can do better. Lets see what Chapter 3 and Aeon brings to table. I'm also definitely not making a summoner, because with their AI any boost is a complete waste of resources on those braindead idiots. Another disappointment of the year is brown fur transmuter. Yeah sure, he can make big ass dragons (that is, if the game registers the "Transmute others" click because quite regularly it does not and I end up dragoning my Lich's own bony ass instead), thing is, WOTR is almost all interiors or cramped narrow passages so navigating around is a pain in the (big huge scaly) behind, and so is targeting. Besides, I kinda hoped that Staunton will become a cool zombie undead dragon but he didn't. Also made an enchanter Lich. He's serviceable, though I have a strong suspicion that killing things by way of the Lich would be faster than toying with enchantments. Oh, and those bloodline thingies that are supposed to make enchanty spells work on criiters and undeads? They do nothing and this is my surprised face:

I think I read it's 3, but now Reddit says Owlcat's PR for reddit said it's 5. Which is of course much better, especially for Liches. Albeit Swarm should have interesting times too. I bet there would be all-you-can-eat buffet.

LOL, so the Citadel DLC takes place in Chapter 3, when your "loved one" is plural and before Liches and Swarms do things that they do? Coulda put it in Chapter 4 then, Alushinyrra sure knows how to party, 'sides, such a missed chance for Staunton and Minagho's reunion and ~wacky hijinks~ that would follow

Cookies are meh and overrated. Also, Sten from DA:O did the cookie joke first and incomparably better.

First season is horror, what with its Stephen King coating and all, even if it's more horrifying for people with kids than people sans them. The season of kids vs evil Russians is methinks more a homage to "kids vs evil Russians" fad of 80's and the last one with its overdose of hormones and rivers of tears, I don't even know. Some sort of high school rom-com melodrama?

I don't suppose you can leave my little pony Lolcookiez in Hell where it belongs, can you. Asking for a possible future playthrough friend.

I dunno about "don't seem to know", seems that everyone is familiar with this Sasha Grey lady.

My money is on that they know their audience. Like, Demon path is so edgy McEdgelordy it'd make a 15-yr old poetry writing black metal fan cringe with embarrassment, it literally uses "Assert dominance" unironically and there were tons of people over Reddit going "**** yeah Demon path! So awesome! So badass!"

Owlcat seem to support the axis where Evil is always Stupid, and Lawful is almost always Evil, so just stick to Lawful if you want to be slightly less moronic Evil. Still no Machiavellian choices, but those would require writing chops outside of Catowl's range. That said, I love to be evil, stupid as it may be, in Owlcat's games, probably because their characters do not feel like people (and mildly to severely annoy me) so it's like taking away ladders outta pools in Sims, funny instead of cruel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obligatory Grzegorz!

I'm definitely installing SkyUI because the original UI is awful and I already have a mile-long list of identical notes, bugfixes because bugs are bad, and perhaps one that makes dunce townies run away from dragons; don't really care about all that glossier hair, prettier faces and louder fart noises cosmetic stuff that makes the majority of most downloaded lists though. I like additional content, but there's not much of it save for Bruma town and Enderal, which is from what I understand a separate game rather than mod. It has a load of glowing reviews, but a good number of those come from grogs who think QoL stuff like fast travel is a) anathema, b) for nubscrub weaklings, so I have my doubts.
