The TV and Streaming thread renewed
My Hero Academia is kinda ****, as are all the Academia anime I've seen. If you enjoy silly and stupid anime, you should check out JoJo's Bizarre Adventure which is extremely stupid but in a good way in that it doesn't even bother taking itself seriously and is just 20 minutes burst of extremely weird ****. I will cosign this. I've really enjoyed everything directed by Masaaki Yuasa so checking him out is something I'd recommend. While not anime, there's an animated film called Away (2019) that was apparently made by one guy from Latvia that looks great and I've heard good things about. I have never watched a the nu Star Trek and given how much everyone seems to hate it I don't think I will.

Again you're weaseling to try and claim it's different when someone you don't like does it, trying to shift by talking about "socialists" (which now presumably includes corporations) thought policing instead of the government's actual policing, and then going on to some conspiracy theory from a guy larping as Brad Pitt's edgelord character from a 90's movie. My dude, stop the cope and just admit you don't care about freedom. This has been a long day, so I'm going to get drunk and eat buffalo wings instead of posting on this forum. Surprisingly, buffalo wings aren't actually wings from a buffalo. Who could have seen that coming? If only. What happened to Bartimaeus? Seems like he hasn't been around lately either.

This weaseling to get around admitting your support for authoritarian use of force is sad. This is made all the worse by equating a private company enforcing a TOS agreement with state repression, and is outright puzzling when coming from someone who is otherwise a free market stan. I guess "freedom for me, but not for thee" is a hard thing to admit to, but it's absolute 🤡💩 I think people should just delete twitter because it's a massive waste of time and most people seem angrier or more depressed after using it.

It is what happened, you just did an ad hoc cope and justified it. I guess you only like freedom when it suits you.

You could have just said "I think it's ok when we do it" instead of trying those mental gymnastics lmao.

I thought wageslaves were a myth and anyone can start their own business? Kinda funny how you guys think getting banned from a social media website is Bolshevik cyberpunk anarcho-capitalism but unmarked police disappearing folks is good.

If the worse tyranny you have to worry about is getting banned from Twitter, then you've got it pretty good.

Trump has dodged the question of accepting the election results and several Republicans have admitted to be considering interpretations of electoral decision-making that ignores the popular vote so yeah probably. It's kind of funny to see this happen and voter suppression happen while liberals droning on with "VOTE" or praying for Trump's safe recovery instead of coming up with any strategy to deal with Trump's possible coup. I guess if America becomes a proper dictatorship, it's only fitting it happens in the dumbest way possible.

I understand it on an intellectual level, but on a personal/emotional level I find the idea of obsessive fanboyism for right-wing authoritarians half a world removed weird and pathetic. Like almost anything else would be a more fulfilling use of time. Yup. The voter fraud is coming from inside the house.

The funny thing is that he never left, Ian has never been to the US and currently lives in Malaysia, which makes his almost exclusive focus on US politics strange.

I think he gets attention because he has a relatively large platform and is a consistent source of bad takes and bull****. In a perfect world he'd be ignored, but in this one he spreads rumors that could get people arrested or killed (he recently did this with a shooting I believe) so monitoring him and similar grifters is necessary to keep people safe.

Probably, a lot of these guys seem to think having a social media account is equivalent to fighting a war so Ian getting dunked on must feel like an assault from the antifa death squads.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
That's always been a glaring weakness of D&D. They dropped 2.1 (official turn-based option) a while back and there's been lots of issues reported.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
It's not great. There are subclasses, but after picking them at level 2 or 3 you're locked into a set path like the kits from BG2. There are feats, but they share a resource with attribute increases and for the most part aren't as good as just pumping your stats. You can try some stuff with multiclassing (which I don't know if it made it into BG3), but it's kind of a clustercuss and I mostly see it used as a dip, like 1 level of Hexblade Warlock for Paladins to get CHA to hit and damage, instead of trying to build a character that's half and half.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
Other than multiclassing shenanigans there's not much customization per level in 5e. If BG3 is mostly that you can expect to be on rails for most of your levels with a handful of choices.

Occasionally you have to adjust your vehicle's suspension so it handles well.

How is alignment handled in the game?

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
In 5e they tried to design around bounded accuracy, so even high level enemies have an AC of like 19 and can be hit by a level 1 scrub. The meta of this makes very difficult monsters something possible for a comparitively low-level party to take care of, and hordes of low level monsters a death sentence for groups without aoe damage. If Larian does have stat rolls instead of point buy that can hilariously unbalance the game by potentially having characters hit the soft attribute cap at level 1 and pick up a number of feats they normally wouldn't get. There's a lot I don't like about 5e, and I ended up going to Pathfinder 2e which I've found plays easier once you parse the rules, so someone who currently plays 5e could tell you more.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
In 5e using point buy, the stat cap at character creation is 15 + racial bonuses. Attribute increases are determined by class level (most get 5, Fighters and Rogues get more, split multiclassing is a bitch), and attribute increases can be swapped out for a feat (some of which increase attributes) which is the only way in 5e to get feats. There's a soft cap of 20 that is the max without using abilities or magic items, and a hard cap of 30. It's kind of a clustercuss, like a lot of 5e is.

Well yeah, so it seems strange to credit religion specifically for not murdering or exploiting people.
