Base on what I've been spoiled on and seen, I think that we need more evil party members more than that.....which would be pretty cool though. Without spoiling anything much, evil loses out on two of the origin party members and three of the extras, while only gaining a Drow dommy mommy Paladin. I don't think it needs to be 1 to 1 but it sucks that the roster for the evil gang is just a bit more than half of what the heroes get. Give us an evil Sorcerer and a murder Monk Larian. I have never used hirelings in a party-based crpg unless it's forced. Not going to knock it, but it just isn't my thing.

Wait, they're remaking that? I remember being confused as **** playing that as a pre-teen. I'll have to check it out.

A day for final family reunions in temples. First I took Shadowheart to meet the Sharrans and found a familiar face, and then my Bard met his dad and....sister/niece/cousin in an underground area. I'm pretty sure there's only a handful of things left It's Halsin sexually harassing you.

I do, but not enough to spend 20k on an admittedly pretty cool looking espresso machine.

You can get a permanent room in a tavern when you arrive in the city.

Huh, I almost thought that Owlcat had forgotten about their WotR DLCs. Guess maybe I'll finally play as a Lich after I get done with BG3 and Fire Emblem Engage.

https://jacobin.com/2023/09/trump-michigan-visit-drake-enterprises-uaw-strike The article itself is very interesting (TL;DR, Trump is speaking at a non-union shop at the owner's invitation, he hasn't talked to any of the UAW leaders or is visiting any of their picket lines), but this quote is beautiful: "My cousins are all UAW members. Every one of them got a text message asking if they wanted to go. The organizers are picking who they want. They wanted prospective attendees to pass along their social media profiles. Trump is curating a crowd, and it pisses me off. If he wants to support union workers, pay the ****ing glaziers who got screwed when they put the windows on Trump Tower".

I explored a sPoOkY palace and ended up fighting the owner, Cazador, who turned out to be much less intimidating and more of a prick. Astarion wanted to take over but I talked him out of it, and he seemed to appreciate that. Our allies are much more frightening than villains.

You naughty Karlach

I explored the sewers, found the society of brilliance, killed an old man beneath the cemetery, and got attacked by vampire spawn when I was trying to sleep. Irresistible Dance is broken as hell, it made what would be a final boss in another game trivial.

I think Hulu is bundled or getting bundled with Disney (along with a price increase) so you might as well. I don't watch live TV but Hulu is also last because FX somehow puts out consistently good shows and they've got a decent library. Amazon probably pays for itself with the free shipping, but I don't watch many, if any, of their movies or series.

The only streaming service I will endorse is Criterion Channel. It's got a lot of the stuff that appeals to the @Bartimaeus in these days and generally does a pretty good job rotating the library. There aren't any series or original content on it, but for the most part that has been disappointing on most of the other streamers these days anyways. I think that Netflix is going to be the next on my chopping block. El Conde was fantastic but it was also a complete surprise because Netflix has sort of trained me to expect their movies to be bad and their series to get cancelled after one season. I logged in the other day and for the life of me couldn't find anything I was interested in watching.

I recruited the final companions and helped stop a hostile takeover. I'm thinking that I'll try to find Orin or find out what's got Umberlee's priestesses so angry next, but there's also Astarion's and Shadowheart's quests that are pretty obvious where to go.

I am further behind on stuff than before the strike started. Too many of the shows on streaming get canceled before they can really find an audience, especially Netflix. I have a hard time committing to watching a show that's probably going to end on an unresolved cliffhanger. It's easier and more satisfying for me to watch a (half of a) movie instead of most series these days.

After Yang (2021) Colin Farrell plays a dad trying to fix his daughter's sibling robot in a future with clones and other utopian techo stuff. It's very melancholy, so much so that I was very sad after watching it. Definitely not something you want to watch when you're feeling down. That aside, it's a very good film, kind of like the inverse of the Liam Neeson "dad detective/soldier" films where the dad kills lots of dudes to rescue his kids. It's very meditative and slow, with focus on family dynamics in the near future and memory. I dug it. I wanted to watch it a while ago but forgot about it with everything else going on, thanks for reminding me about it.

I got in a fight in the park, killed an evil wizard and raided his vaults, Gale met his ex again, and we hit level 12. Dame Aylin seemed pretty bummed though.

I found a hag support group, killed a hag, and got a bitchin rapier for my Bard. Also stopped a mob from killing Volo. Feels like I'm back in Act 1. I consistently use it with Shadowheart over Firebolt. It's good for undead and not a lot of things resist Radiant damage.

Looks like Dallas now has a Republican mayor. While the Dallas mayoral election is nonpartisan, it's hard to imagine Johnson winning if he had come out as a Republican before the most recent election (Johnson had previously been elected as a legislator and ran as a Dem). And lmao, someone is half-right so far. "First, it’s clear to me that Johnson plans to switch parties and run for statewide office as a Republican." I guess with Ken Paxton now blaming John Cornyn for getting investigated or Ted Cruz potentially not running again, there's an opening to be right about the second half.

Yeah, you can customize the quick bar but the abilities tab is locked.

I disagree. I also forgot to mention that I also robbed a bank and ran into The Stone Lord.

I think BG3 wins out for me because there is some customization possible, while Owlfinder just fills up the tabs with abilities and doesn't let you remove them. That can be a big problem if you have a lot of abilities because you can lose access to rows that overflow, which is a possibility if you're playing an abilities heavy character or have lots of abilities from items.

I went to a wine tasting, checked out a clothing shop, and convinced a friend to not take a big deal. Also saw the absolute greatest romance scene in RPG history. looking forward to playing more when I get the chance, but Act 3 is already noticeably more janky than previously.

Someday you'll be very entertained or very confused, perhaps both.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised about that. I think you work at a university, where you're at is it more of a scam thing or more of a stop the kids from voting thing?

.....what?
