What are you Playing Now? - the man sez Video games are bad for you - fight the man!
No, but you could use Toybox to make the level cap 40. You'd probably want to cheat for the Legend path if you did that though, as everyone now gets the most of its gimmick. Hitting 20 way before the end of the game wasn't a deal breaker for me. I think for me what killed WotR was BG3 tbh. The Owlfinder games were easily 90%+ combat and most of it isn't very interesting, you figure out the buff spreadsheet and hope you win initiative before archers machine gun the back line. Kinda lost interest after doing the harpy fight and doing the dice rolls to solve conflicts in BG3.

I mean this is what's baffling for me, the guy talked about tariffs every damn day for a year and you still had people shocked about "Liberation Day" tariffs. At some point you have to assume the stupid **** he says is genuinely what he believes instead of dreaming up a scenario where a dementia-addled boomer is playing 1776d chess by rambling on his twitter fork.

I have never seen an episode of WoT, but of even Hurlshort is hating on it I know it's got to be bad.

Frankly I think having the Loomers of the world hate you is the bare minimum. Then you do understand it. As it's used now "woke" is mostly just a term of abuse, a marginally more respectable way of saying libtarded or whatever. Of course the other times woke gets used it's a dogwhistle for some slur or another, though it's been overtaken by DEI on that front.

Per usual the adult converts are being very normal. I hear JD Vance is drowning his sorrows in CK3 marathons and spending time with the couch, if ya know what I mean. It's gonna be a minute before we can get a read on Leo 14, but while he's probably not going to be as good as Francis was at least he's not a deranged bootlicker. It could have been worse is scarce comfort but I guess I'll take it.

It's been a while but I believe I've seen it. I'll probably watch it again soon

Obituary thread
I imagine death is a better option than spending time with JD. US (lapsed) Catholic here, you're not wrong but the caveat is we got a lot of Protestant converts who only flopped to Catholicism (or Orthodox) because it lets them be more unhinged and larp as crusaders.

Food Thread - Those that eat
Mac and cheese, ham, chicken, and other Easter stuff I ate at a family gathering. First time I did a "southern style" msc using eggs and honestly it works well for substantially less effort than making a cheese sauce like I'd typically do for a baked mac and cheese. Everyone said it was very good, but I think I should use sharp cheddar next time instead of medium because the flavor could get dialed that way a bit more. Overall this is probably going to be my go to baked mac, and I'll save the more intensive method for fancy takes.

Anime and Manga - New Season
I'll need it, looks like there's a lot of Gundam. Probably won't watch all of it though. Bit further in, like Violet Evergarden there's a Lieutenant DIO. There's also been a coup to make the regime more imperialistic and all kinds of fun ****.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing episodes 1-5 A group of child soldiers are sent to Earth to fight against an aristocratic fascist regime. So far I'm digging it.

Where do you get it? Ordering is my only option and it seems to be too expensive for my budget. And while I don't care about authenticity either, it is funny to me that the first written recipe for carbonara is from Chicago and uses pancetta and parm. The current iteration seems to be maybe a decade old and you had Italian chefs using cream in the dish during the 80s.

I made Carbonara with pancetta. Internet Italians may try to blow up my house, but it tasted very good.
