Keep it away from kids under 12 just in case. Except for

My first playthrough of PoE ended with me hating the game after spending hours grazing through attrition. It did improve significantly with the releases of the WM 1 and 2, but at launch it was really bad. Deadfire was worse, because they threw out an armor system that was ok (though still prone to naked or full plate with no in-between) and implemented one where there was often no benefit to wearing full plate over padded armor. On top of that they did some wacky inversion mechanics (because making -35% mean -35% is for rubes) that their own designers didn't understand. Oh yeah, and detecting traps is now tied solely to perception, so if you don't haul the gun lady along with you there's a very good chance you'll stumble into a tpk trap cluster. The Pathfinder games use a dumbass system with equally dumb things like natural attacks being completely different than unarmed attacks or bonuses not stacking except if they're dodge bonuses. To top it off Owlcat can completely butcher it where if you were to import a PnP CR 30 enemy, like ****ing Cthullu, it could get stomped by a mid game encounter in WotR because apparently they balanced it around insane min-maxers dipping to ramp up their bonuses into the stratosphere. Point is, all these games have ****ty mechanics and I don't think those are the reason they're good or bad. There's a charm to Kingmaker that PoE just didn't have for me. I can't really quantify it but there's a reason I have so many more hours into a game I've only beaten once compared to one I've gone through three times.

Sounds like you can probably drop the demi then. Too bad there's already a god of drinking and having a great time.

Wait

Massive number bloat.

Yes.

I bet. And you're not even playing on the difficulty where they crank up stats. I think all of the mythic paths are potentially OP, but it is more from a RP perspective.

Oh, I'm definitely looking forward to playing it....after they fix the game to actually work. Personally I'm torn between Azata or Trickster. Probably one of the biggest mistakes is not having Legend be a starting path. Being able to reject becoming a mythic creature at the beginning would be nice.

Damming with faint praise I see. 55 DC is insane. For laughs I looked up CR 30 creatures from PnP (who typically have mythic stuff already) and a lot of them couldn't even make those saves. You'd have to munchkin to a crazy degree or outright cheat to be able to reliably survive that.

Man I'm glad I'm waiting at least six months before giving this a go.

you naughty but ma- [insert barrage of sanity destroying nonsense] I'm going to give it at least five episodes. It is very weird so far.

Some folks are just incapable of reading past the headline.

Steins;Gate 1 They microwaved bananas. This show is gonna be something else.

I've already seen the other two and I'd say the same about them. Berserk isn't as good as the manga, but it is a very good adaptation of the Golden Age and next to Madoka probably has one of the most misleading intros. And JoJo is just JoJo, I'm pretty sure if I tried describing it to someone honestly they'd think I was lying. Anyways @InsaneCommander seems to like Steins;Gate so I'll give that a go. I'm working on it but

Not really. More like you don't enjoy

Yeah, I don't outright hate it but I'm just not gripped by it. Which means that I'll be putting my sunglasses on and hoping nothing will be wrong by watching Steins;Gate then JOOOOOOOOOJO or the 90s Berserk.

Clannad 5 the starfish return I'm not really feeling it and going to try something else for a while.

Sad how long this list is https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/ And for a milestone: https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/15/health/us-coronavirus-wednesday/index.html I guess as year two of covid comes on, we're in for even more fun.

Brisket, ribs, wings, cole slaw, potato salad, and baked beans. Pretty good, gonna wash it down with some bourbon.

WotR writing is awesome, in the same way that Neil Breen's movies are. The evil dialogue choices being something like "[ATTACK] I don't like you. DIE! (EVIL)" is absolutely hilarious.

Clannad 3+4: Attack of the Student Council. It's starting to drag for me and even the best friend getting his ass kicked every episode is getting boring. No aliens or monsters...yet.

The whole family has antennas, does this mean they are aliens?

Something interesting,

It must be very different from the manga then. Because that was pretty much brutal violence and rape every single chapter.
