those sneaky *astards. ... we figured out the change. irabeth's sword. can't progress w/o irabeth's sword, which were not present in beta or at release. when we played with angel no irabeth sword. replayed with azata and we were past the siege of drezen when sword were final patched back into the game, so again, no chance to get your hidden dialogue. am thinking is no accident the sword were missing from the game for so long. could claim to paizo were an oversight and not an intentional effort to hide. HA! Good Fun!

must have been really buried and not original accessible at release either 'cause we passed the skill checks and got medical condition. nowhere available during beta neither. and again, why hide? purposeful hide? regardless, am thinking obfuscation were the point. regardless, complete lack o' upset is what is surprising. the gamergate folks is quiet and the folks who would ordinarily be curious 'bout the attempt to hide has also been silent. HA! Good Fun! ps we just checked btw, to see if perhaps the internet had spoken on this and we missed: https://www.thegamer.com/pathfinder-wrath-righteous-secrets-tricks/ "It is possible, through speaking with Anevia and Irabeth at length, to learn that Irabeth once sold her family sword to pay for medical expenses for Anevia. Upon learning this, you can then ask Anevia what was wrong with her — she will never tell you what it was, however. In this game, at least." from reddit you will see posts as recent as a month past which specific mention how is not mentioned in the game save as a secret medical condition, or somesuch. skill checks passed. if is now in game, am suspecting is recent and am suspecting owlcat surreptitiously added.

possible confusion. am thinking the near complete lack o' people being upset is the surprise. particular after other games which dealt with similar content had developers facing considerable backlash, owlcat taking a hard pass shoulda' elicited some reaction. reality has been no reaction, or near none. in the crpg, is not actual implied what is the medical condition, so am suspecting the vast majority o' posters shrugged and moved on w/o a second thought. probably figured it were just another example o' sketchy owlcat writing. in retrospect this approach were a good choice by owlcat as they has somehow managed to avoid controversy. am nevertheless surprised owlcat were allowed to sleight-of-hand this aspect into nothingness. HA! Good Fun!

edit: am not recalling exact wording at the moment, but reveal were along the lines o' a "medical condition that was expensive to resolve." that's it. handled different than pnp and were clear hiding. in the pnp setting is not the kinda thing one would need hide, so the layers o' obfuscation were owlcat's own spin. HA! Good Fun!

doesn't actual get explicit discussion even when skill checks is passed. anevia's condition is never disclosed, or at least it weren't every time we played. HA! Good Fun!

am also confused by a few fixes. the loremaster quirk which allows you to choose any feat including trickster mythic feats were s'posed addressed in a previous patch, but we frequent test out mercenary builds and the loremaster exploit were still present last week. the nightspinner quest still bugged for us though it were addressed in a recent patch. similar, but different, the zaoris's pin from the mines is indeed gone, but is not available through crusade battles in our current run. etc. unrelated, but equal curious, have been waiting for somebody (anybody) to mention the anevia elephant in the room, but such has surprising never happened. given the siege of dragonspear kerfuffle, the lack o' acknowledgement o' anevia is curious. am suspecting more than a few people who claimed to have played the wotr pnp adventure has not, 'cause owlcat handling o' the issue were noteworthy though hardly surprising. personal we didn't bring up earlier 'cause we assume the worst o' gaming communities and have rare been surprised by the reality-- unnecessary distraction. nevertheless, is now three month post release and am nevertheless surprised by the absence o' people asking owlcat for an explanation. HA! Good Fun!

there has been near two dozen mcu movies. the first spiderverse movie is among our top three sooperhero films, period. am also not a fan o' the multiverse thing btw, and we expected to dislike the first spiderverse film in part 'cause the comicbook arc 'pon which it were based were... stoopid. a multiverse war o' totem animal/people hybrids or somesuch nonsense? is quite possible sequel movies will be garbage in part 'cause the multiverse thing allows for all kinda opportunities for writer self-implosion. paradox is not a writer's friend no matter how many fan fic geniuses believe the contrary. am also not a fan o' the green lantern silliness many superhero titles have embraced in recent decades. earth has a dozen green lanterns and they is increasingly diverse. we need green lanterns who not just represent every ethnic background, but they collective need display the entire spectrum o' sexual preferences while overcoming physical and/or mental obstacles. *sigh* instead o' a new spiderman or green lantern to make everybody feel included, why not create a genuine new f'ing hero? etc. ... am underselling how much we don't like the multiverse idea and the notion o' infinite spider-mans. regardless, no matter what happens with sequels it won't change how much we liked the first film. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

you may be confusing with soliloquy, 'cause regardless o' root, addressing another character does not remove from possibility o' being a monologue. HA! Good Fun!

assuming he gets around to editing this, the original reads as follows: anybody that doesn't think there wasn't massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election is either very stupid, or very corrupt! am gonna concede, is rare we agree with trump but even a broken clock and all that, eh? HA! Good Fun!

am having similar experience, with noteworthy infrequent exceptions such as the green knight, the seventh seal and a few other films, particular old stuff such as metropolis... 'cause somehow film snob's reflexive lip curl at the mention o' sci-fi or fantasy suffers a kinda selective amnesia regarding a few o' the most groundbreaking films o' all-time. HA! Good Fun! ps amentep has heard us rail more than once 'bout the worthlessness o' the genre labels which didn't actual exist until publishers o' pulp magazines magazines and book sellers embraced 'em. am not certain why people are so wedded to the labels, but such has indeed resulted in the the self-identified snobs feeling inexplicable justified in dismissing movies which share a few elements common attributed to sci-fi or fantasy.

if am looking for one word to describe new dune, is gonna be an ironic choice: cold. there is a funereal solemnity to new dune which only disappears momentarily when jason momoa is on-screen, as if he didn't get memo that while the bulk o' the movie is happening on fictional arrakis, all actors is to pretend as if they is delivering their lines from a cemetery following the death o' a loved one, and likely a cold dublin graveyard in january at that. am not saying new dune is bad, though am thinking the selection o' the scene for the end o' the movie is peculiar particular as is one o' the few scenes from dune which the director chooses to make changes to the source material. is a whole lotta excellent performances in new dune. is impressive visuals in new dune. am also gonna note new dune should have extra fan appeal 'cause is so faithful to book save in mostly minor ways and by way o' expository omission-- fans know why spice is vital and why mentats is a thing in the dune universe, but if new dune is your only exposure to frank herbert's universe, you is gonna be no more enlightened 'bout such after 2.5 hours o' viewing than you were before the experience. regardless, if am not told how hot it is on arakis, we would tend to think the actors were literal and figurative freezing 'cause is a cold, humorless and faithful adaptation o' the source material. that said, excellent performances and stunning visuals make new dune a worthy movie even if is a cold offering. haven't yet watched the rlm link provided by shady, so am not certain how those movie nerds felt 'bout the film. wouldn't be shocked if their opinion differs from ours. old dune is... weird. for some folks, weird is enough. am gonna wait for end o' season one reviews for a second try at wot 'cause we got sixteen minutes into episode one and did not feel the need to watch more. am enjoying hawkeye. as mentioned elsewhere, there is good reasons why we shouldn't like hawkeye and am curious why echo needed an additional handicap compared to her comic book iteration, but the show is fun and am looking forward to future episodes. after three episodes hawkeye continues to rank as our favorite marvel show since daredevil and jessica jones. HA! Good Fun!

seems some people need attention even when their most recent ludicrous notion ain't specific being addressed. blast doors? *insert eye roll here* nevertheless, gotta applaud the sense o' teamwork on the double-down daisy chain being crafted. aside, the following is a decent run-down o' the jeffrey clark testimony issues (edit: recognize the second-to-last twitter response is editorializing as 'posed to analysis): the fifth amendment isn't a blanket insulator. mr. clark may still be compelled to appear before the committee and respond to questions. force clark to specific respond to those queries which might warrant the application o' 5th amendment protections, 'cause will be any number o' interrogatories which have no chance for self-incrimination but might very well imperil others. HA! Good Fun!

and double-down it is. disappointed but not surprised. HA! Good Fun!

you have never met teens? overwhelming disparities in power and/or obvious catastrophic consequences do not represent viable deterrents for a significant % ordinary kids who regardless o' actual intelligence will remain preternatural foolish and self destructive for some indefinite number of years. 'course most obvious hurdle is that if you introduce firearms you necessarily introduce accidents which will predictable and inevitable result in fatalities... likely far more fatalities from accident and general misfortune than the deterrent value could possible warrant. ... we expect this were not a serious suggestion by malcador... save for your recent expressed preference for a lethal conclusion. 'course the mod with similar questionable judgement would double-down in this situation. am gonna embrace uncharacteristic positive thinking and hope for a better resolution, m'kay? HA! Good Fun!

tell her you are a traditionalist and you are insisting on an actual peppercorn. ... am hesitating to mention this, but am having serious second thoughts 'bout selling our real property unless we immediate turn around and indulge in our smaug portfolio plan, but by summer it may be too late to take advantage o' such-- gold maybe outta reach by then. last thing we want with inflation rising and no visible ceiling in sight is to be sitting on a big pile o' cash, seeing as how cash is what is most dramatic losing value as inflation increases. other than our real property, we don't have much in the way o' tangible assets, with the exception o' our two buicks and our roberto clemente rookie card. we do have an extreme large collection o' paperback books, but am doubting the books have much value, particular as many o' them is missing covers and/or being held together with liberal applications o' tape. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

am actual surprised by how much we enjoyed the first two episodes. the main character, in spite o' being sooper skilled and smarter than everybody is hapless and entitled to a degree we would typical find off-putting-- is good reasons why we shouldn't like her, but we do. hawkeye is doing an almost comical mumbly-grumbly weary warrior bit. he wants to get home for christmas? *groan* we like him too. sue us. admitted, we got no problem with smaller scope than save the universe, and pacing feels fine as there is a fair amount of action and when plot isn't being advanced, characters is being humorous and generally likeable. so far the guy being set up as the Big Bad is meh, but we liked him in better call saul, so am gonna give it some time, and perhaps he ain't the big bad at all. am not familiar enough with the kate bishop and hawkeye comics to recognize what might be spoiler fare. regardless, hawkeye ain't taking itself sooper serious and am ok with that, but eventual the plot elements is gonna need build to something more than increasing complex efforts to be fixing kate's predictable blunders. so far is the marvel show we has most enjoyed since daredevil and jessica jones and such an observation is in spite o' the absence o' a vincent denofrio or david tennant villain to aid in the story development, though admitted those two didn't show themselves in the first couple episodes (killgrave at the very end o' episode 2 for jessica jones) and we were already invested in both titles. HA! Good Fun!

*sigh* is not huge, and am certain is being addressed based on some feedback which 'course doesn't actual happen at their boards, but the following were a minor problem addressed in the last patch: "Latverk could appear in the streets next to his house again after his death. We... took measures to ensure he stays dead;" the measures owlcat took were not having him appear at all following conversations with red mask-- no way to advance the quest. problem solved? anyways, has been suggested a hotfix is forthcoming this week to correct that which owlcat broke. am going extreme slow through chapter four with our azata, so is other material with which we will be able to distract our self until the aforementioned quest is capable o' completion. HA! Good Fun!

am gonna concede how after booby trap and galaxy's child, taking geordi serious became a bit more difficult. possibly redeemed self by season seven, but seeing as is going on 30 years since those embarrassing episodes and we still recall 'em first when we think o' geordi, is not a good sign. HA! Good Fun!

kinda like the idea o' casting her as the illusive man. HA! Good Fun!

agree with point 1. didn't even know 'bout point 2, 3, 4, or 8... shows how little we followed the trial. #5 complaint were... odd. picking outta a tumbler were peculiar but didn't strike us unfair. looked bad for a public trial as it were indeed unusual and were gonna draw criticism for the theatrics, so why do it? not a huge concern though. gonna suggest #6 is not properly analyzed in the video as typical the judge woulda' allowed a bit o' time to fix the handicap o' the evidence given the ad hoc nature o' his ruling. sure, if this were a known defect before trial 'cause the judge or some clear rule o' evidence prohibited such video, then burden would be on the prosecution to present proper evidence at trial. ain't what happened. judge declares previously admissible evidence functional inadmissible 'cause o' some technical foible? unless time to fix error were prohibitive, then prosecution shoulda' had an opportunity to cure the previous unknown defect. #7 was a problem for us. big problem actually. was not just "sloppy." were particular egregious as the judge seemed complete aware the defense witness were military as he specific referenced the guy before he asked for applause. video narrator undersells this one by a fair bit. were genuine jaw dropping kinda "sloppy." 'course missing is the other big issue we had: the aforementioned ruling on the weapon in rittenhouses' possession. HA! Good Fun!

For Decades, Southern States Considered Thanksgiving an Act of Northern Aggression have never been a big fan o' pumpkin pie, but am thinking o' making it an essential part o' our thanksgiving meal prep henceforth. HA! Good Fun!

am not a fan o' hate crime enhancements, but we were an admitted near lone voice in the wilderness on this one even back in the 90s when the current scheme went into effect. 49 states sent briefs in support o' wisconsin when the case o' wisconsin v. mitchell 508 U.S. 476 (1993) were before the Court. J. Rhenquist, a guy who woulda' had trump declaring Alito a RINO if he were still around to act as a kinda conservative yardstick to be measured 'gainst, delivered a unanimous opinion. to say hate crimes enhancements had overwhelming public and scholarly support would be understatement. if you kill somebody, am thinking we put you in prison or execute you for the murder and not 'cause o' your expressed viewpoint on gender, race or whatnot. am not indulging a slippery slope kinda argument, but is one o' those unnecessary grey areas. particularly nowadays when we got so much division regarding foundational notions o' bigotry and racism, enhancements based on the expressed viewpoint o' the criminalized has the potential for abuse, and such enhancements should be largely unnecessary save that strict sentencing guidelines has taken from judges some o' their flexibility in punishing particular vile nogoodniks... and fact judges like the one in the rittenhouse case exist. didn't check, but am suspecting the rittenhouse judge were elected as 'posed to appointed. would explain a few things. and look, am getting it. try and pretend as if ordinary criminal trespass and property vandalism carries the same threat as does burning a cross on the front lawn o' a black family is delusional. however, the Court mere a year previous to wisconsin v. mitchell, struck down a law which made hate related actions in st. paul minnesota illegal. the Rhenquist opinion is arguable sound but nevertheless indulging in a bit o' the svengali approach to logic and reason if a short time previous you did rail 'gainst the viewpoint discrimination o' a law which punishes bad thinkers, but is ok to add enhancements for punishments 'cause o' same bad thoughts held by a defendant. in rav, the Court took the opportunity to speak in big terms 'bout fairness and the sanctity o' the First Amendment-- were impressive soap box material and very quotable. wisconsin v. mitchell is not quotable. J. Rhenquist in mitchell does everything possible to make us recognize that enhancements is not 'bout First Amendment even if the state is punishing a person to a greater extent specific 'cause o' their expressed viewpoint, but he used arcane precedent and procedural arguments as 'posed to talk o' fairness and right. regardless, gonna note conservatives were very much supportive o' hate crime enhancements in the 90s, jic some folks wanna rail 'bout the injustice o' such. HA! Good Fun!

fixed. am thinking rodgers should do everything in his power to never say "covid." ever. aside: having had a significant turf toe injury, am able to say it were more painful than broken toes we have had, which were all hairline kinda things. is a number o' pro football players who had to retire 'cause o' their turf toe never healing quite right and causing functional insurmountable pain which limited their performance. not just pansy wrs neither. 'course am expecting many breaks woulda been more painful than the turf toe injury we suffered. have had any number o' sprains worse than breaks and the sprains took longer to heal as well. is nothing special 'bout being broken which makes inherent more painful than turf toe. as such is perhaps more evidence you should not take medical advice from rogan or rodgers. but again, rodgers should develop enough common sense to avoid the covid issue even if he thinks he is being funny. HA! Good Fun! ps broke our hand in multiple places playing basketball for chrissakes. got karate chopped. took us a day and a half before we went to the doctor at which point they expressed some surprise at our seeming indifference. *chuckle* gonna admit we got a bit light-headed when we saw the x-ray. am glad we were sitting down at the time 'cause the shock o' the x-ray (which looked dramatic) had the world kinda tilt on its side for a moment.
