... "unusual"? what is usual is following an all too common trump verbal self-sabotage, gaslighting ensues which convinces some that what they heard were not what trump said. following such common trump blunders is also predictable efforts to deflect, where "fake news" is the curious rejoinder in spite o' media accurate reporting actual quotes, but emphasis is made that the libs is once again so focused on bringing down trump they cannot report on hunter biden's laptop or just how dangerous to liberty is vaccine mandates. worst o' all is the too significant % o' the trump base which parrots the fake news and gaslighting efforts, but truth is they agree with the disgraced former President's bigotry. nothing unusual. is gop these past few years. HA! Good Fun!

if am ever with family and more than thirty minutes elapses w/o somebody being insulting or crude, we know we has gone insane, or they is plotting our demise... or both. ... that said, am s'posing if our eighty-something aunts started speaking in klingon, we might question our sanity regardless o' insults or vulgarity. HA! Good Fun!

not that it matters, but our less than optimized azata sorcerer who has primarily been used as a blaster has played anything but underpowered. yeah, many o' the most useful azata spells has not worked as described and remain broken even in the latest patches. am not 100% sure favourable magic is working correct either as the save for 75% damage aspect remains wrong as often as not. the thing is, sorcerers in wotr is, much as were the case in kingmaker, kinda powerful unless you purposeful handicap self. add zippy magic alone to our sorcerer build and is already kinda overkill on hard difficulty level. an angel oracle is just silly powerful in wotr and am suspecting at some point we may play such just for laughs, but am honest not certain we would want merged spellbooks for azata. with caster levels o' 40 possible, such would necessitate moving the difficulty slider up to unfair to pose any kinda challenge, and am personal finding that kinda gameplay not the least bit fun as is all 'bout finding and using some kinda exploitive strategy and tactics. HA! Good Fun!

another argument for not going to theatres to watch movies, 'cause am suspecting a large % o' people going to see this flick is gonna be baked to some degree and that is the kinda thing one should be doing in the privacy o' their own home. HA! Good Fun!

as 'posed to playful darkness, the secret of secrets encounter were initially the most troublesome act 3 fight for us, but is unlikely you stumble on that one by accident. HA! Good Fun!

law ain't the problem, 'least not they way some people appear to believe. is US and KY laws which s'posed prevent the kinda thing described in the linked article, which is precise why management is insisting it didn't happen the way employees claim it did. however, if your employees is poor, uneducated, have suspect proof o' citizenship, etc., then chances are as a practical matter is ok to treat your employees like sh!t even if doing so is illegal. assume for a moment no tornado actual hit the building-- just another false alarm tornado warning which happens frequent in various parts o' the US. week elapses, maybe ten days, and imagine more than a few o' the folks who left work w/o supervisor approval are fired, ostensible for reasons not related to leaving work. now what? the fired employees is gonna hire lawyers to try and get management to give 'em back their sh!tty jobs? is less a law problem than a culture issue. try and make people care 'bout workers at mayfield consumer products, or any one o' hundreds o' poultry processing facilities or thousands o' business which require low skill labour and subject employees to grueling conditions. is also simplistic to think US management is always populated by evil capitalists who care nothing 'bout workers, but they is in the unenviable position o' trying to keep businesses running when efforts to automate production is villainized as antiworker while simultaneous needing compete 'gainst foreign manufacturers where labor costs is a fraction o' what is bare minimums in the US. low skill manufacture and production is not like service industries, and is hardly an ez way to make a buck. if management is evil is in part 'cause the current system makes evil far more likely to produce positive quarter reports. laws ain't gonna fix core problems. we already got the laws to prevent what happened at mayfield. HA! Good Fun!

am a smidge conflicted 'bout this 'cause is indeed an example o' poor wotr balance. however, just as soon as we started destroying armies with our mage general, before enemy units even had a chance to attack, it occurred to us that at some point we could be the victim o' such tactics. furthermore, we couldn't help but wonder if, as with ordinary wotr encounters, enemies had no resource management limits with which to contend, allowing 'em to spam army decimating spells with impunity. am gonna admit we were more surprised by how few enemy generals delivered hurt in the way our generals did as a matter o' course. mage generals is horribly unbalanced, which is a problem. however, am thinking the existence o' such on the demon side as well as crusade is at least presenting a veneer o' fairness to the scheme-- not balanced, but arguable fair. that said, if you don't have a mage general of your own and you is unaware o' their disparate impact, then the shock o' a demon mage general lightning striking your units into oblivion is gonna be disheartening and unanticipated. Gromnir has played embarrassing hours o' wotr and is aware o' mage general power. is no reason the ordinary player should have such knowledge. bad balance is not good design... but am gonna refer you to the playful darkness thread at the official owlcat boards. the hardcore fans is animated in their defense o' poor balance and defend such as if it is a feature o' wotr. *shrug* HA! Good Fun!

just a reminder o' what trump is selling his base fear by way o' the most boldfaced lies imaginable. oh, and bruce, don't strawman so much. keep is mind is Gromnir who kept warning folks before and after 2016 that the trump base fears couldn't be dismissed 'cause even if you think they is foolish, they were genuine. call "policies" is hardly meaningful. working class rust belt mid westerners and red state southerners were afraid o' lost/losing manufacturing jobs, and trump promised he would return those jobs to americans, as if such were possible save on extreme small scale. evangelicals has been perpetual afraid o' the threat posed by liberals embrace o' the rainbow flag and abortion. the same white and working class americans who believe they has been disenfranchised the last +decade is afraid that their culture and future is being threatened or somesuch. just because trump is selling fear does not mean the fears is unreal. fear of minorities and progressives and fake news? doesn't do democrats much good if they point and laugh at republican voter stoopidity if those same stoopid people is voting. the fear and grievance is real even if is based on lies. trump success in selling fear and grievance is real even if he keeps telling lies to achieve success. HA! Good Fun! ps abortion, whether you like or not, is real. is one reason why it doesn't matter to a few evangelicals what trump does or says. if you believe unborn babies is being murdered and you recognize democrats and libs support a right to abortion, then almost any alternative is preferable. trump could do near anything, no matter how vile, and for many evangelicals it won't matter 'cause on the other side o' the balance is the murder o' innocent and unborn children. not gonna "fix" this with education or empathy or any other reasonable approach. as long as there is a candidate on the opposite side o' the pro choice position, many evangelicals will aggressive support such a person, even when those evangelicals is aware the anti-abortion candidate is a depraved fearmonger.

the only positive am gonna observe regarding the wotr crusade system is it is less punishing and opaque than kingmaker... less punishing by a longshot. kingdom building failure in kingmaker were extreme ez and often were a result o' event proximity to a calendar date. you may succeed many different ways with wotr army building, but we kept simple: add marksman (or other ranged) choose a mage general is nuances, but do these two things and chances are you win. we didn't ever "need" more than one army, but if you are not confident in army management, perhaps make certain you have a citadel at any fort not extreme close to drezen and the center o' the map. citadel provides you a bit more time to reach a besieged fort with your rescue army. eventual in act v we have so many resources and is so many rando small armies attacking we usual create a second general and a second army to mop up small gangs o' attacking foes, but is more a quality o' life thing than a need. once you have an army which is capable o' beating all comers (level 10 is likely more than enough) don't keep building army resources with merc hires and adding troops. instead consider long-term building strategies. am not gonna spoil save to observe there is no point in building a sooper army in act 3. however, building resources will carry over to later acts, so make sure you got loads of archery ranges and perhaps warehouses built adjacent to supply depots and sanctuaries. get as many marquee buildings erected by end o' act 3, even if you gotta recycle buildings to do so. but again, if you got a s-ton o' archers and a mage general, a single army will likely be enough and everything else just kinda gets ez. that said, we do like hedge knights as they is mobile, durable and do big damage. HA! Good Fun! ps in our most recent azata run, at the end o' act 3 we technical had seven armies, but the army strength for all save two armies were in the 1-3 range and were composed o' "free" troops we had no way o' functional using. pps both times we did crusade through act 5, we had a brief period o' time when we were kinda wishing we had more material points, and that were in spite o' having supply centers and warehouses near everywhere possible. in act 4 you should become extreme wealthy, and am admitting we used a considerable amount o' gold to pay for crusade supplies early in act 5, particular material points.

so now is claim that it doesn't matter for whom you vote but only in the limited situation when dealing with the electoral college and a non battle ground state? bit more limited than your oft professed generalization, no? hurl made a broad party affiliation observation, so your response now doesn't appear to be responsive. have you had a come to Jesus moment and realized it very much does matter for whom you vote, but in extreme narrow sense you are decrying the electoral college scheme? that would be swell. for the moment am gonna pretend that is what you actual mean 'cause then we wouldn't need mock your kookie mantra for the umpteenth time. am also gonna note how amusing is your tenacious 3rd party delusions. you thought 2016 3rd party numbers were significant, and clear still do. you hold on to this fantasy in spite o' 2020. am seeming to recall Gromnir pointing out to you post 2016 how there had been past cycles o' significant 3rd party voting in Presidential contests which likewise were insular and not sea change events. a single national election revelaing heightend 3p voting, particular when overall voting is depressed, is not significant to those alternate parties. you chuckleheads gotta learn to start placing more effort into local and state, but instead we see spike cohen as the vp choice for the libertarians. the thing is, those 3rd party votes in close contests which clear don't actual mean much to those 3rd parties (how many people recall even the name o' ross perot's party w/o google aid?) is actual more meaningful to the eventual winner o' the contested Presidential election. is the reason why trump kept insisting he won the popular vote in spite o' all evidence to the contrary. is tough to legitimize a mandate from the people w/o votes to backup such a claim, and genuine paradigm shifting legislation is unlikely to happen w/o such a mandate. regardless, am gonna happily embrace your newfound realization that it does indeed matter for whom one votes in national elections, and if you sudden claim otherwise we will perhaps take a page from your book and just pretend away the contrary information which does not support our conclusion. very refreshing. HA! Good Fun!

no. is exact your kinda silliness which explains why trump got elected the first time, 'cause in spite o' muslim ban promise, pu$$y grab recording, and verified stories o' trump ripping off charities and defrauding investors, not enough people were convinced it made a difference who were in the white house to actual vote. the very idea that after the last five years and post january 6 we still got more than a few souls claiming it makes no difference who gets votes is disturbing 'cause such a position requires willful ignorance. HA! Good Fun!

playful darkness, on the other hand, were requiring more cheese from us to win. intimidation were once again our ace in the hole. were not so difficult our second run as our first as with stacked pillars of light and goof levels o' intimidation, we did not have a single party member take any damage, though one animal companion and a summons were mauled a bit. first run were not so smooth. now that the vavakia vanguards has been patched, those battles is much easier. ... pathetic quasit were difficult the first time when we had no idea what to expect. regardless, for anybody having difficulty with boss battles, consider creating a merc who specializes in intimidation. is a few party members who can fill such a role (sosiel being perhaps the best option) but chances are if you are deep in the game you won't wanna respec to create an intimidator. intimidator basic requirements: high strength and either wisdom or charisma-- if high wisdom, then need acolyte background. intimidating presence feat-- adds your strength modifier to your intimidation checks. one level of thug-- results in a successful intimidation check becoming a fear condition. * not actual necessary, but am gonna highly recommend dazzling display feat-- applies shaken to observers who fail an intimidation check. if you are concerned with bosses, then you need only intimidate one foe, so dazzling display is superfluous, but is also extreme effective superfluous. the reason why sosiel is such a dominating intimidator if you build him that way is 'cause he has access to spells such as righteous might and frightful presence on top o' fact he has high wisdom and the acolyte background. is thus possible to achieve extreme high wisdom and strength modifiers with sosiel. not required, but beneficial, the best classes for building an intimidator are inquisitors (with the exception of tactical leader) and dirge bards (dirge bards is actual best) 'cause half class level is added to intimidation checks. the dirge bard intimidation modifier is stacks with everything, so it is win. inquisitor stern gaze results in a morale bonus, which may be replicated with a few spells. regardless o' mythic path, the following items and options is good choices for intimidation: moss soup (act 2) and mulled wine (act 3) is camp recipes offering +3/+4 skill check bonuses respective goggles of quick grasp (available act v through crusade) adds +15 competence to persuasion... which is nuts. goggles of piercing gaze provides +10 persuasion (act iv and act v... rando chest in alushinyrra and then dragon burial) signet of house vespertilio (sp?) +5 to a single skill for 1 hour (market square in act 1) oppressor's gloves offers +2 to intimidation (chilly creek act 2) scarlet allure boosts persuasion by 10 (act 4 alushinyrra brothel) goggles of dreadful judgement, for inquisitors or those with judgement ability, provides +5 intimidation. (act 3 midnight fane) *don't ignore low level spells such as bless, prayer and heroism as they provide skill check bonuses am suspecting few reading this will consider building a dedicated intimidator, but if you are having difficulty with boss battles in wotr, and become frustrated, intimidation levels the playing field and then some. by end game, if you use sosiel as your intimidator, buffed with optimal gear and spells, you will be seeing intimidation check modifiers in the mid eighties or better, which results in guaranteed successful intimidation check o' even demon lords. a merc may achieve mid/high nineties modifiers. HA! Good Fun!

... thanks to texas and a complicit SCOTUS, gd may finally have his let it all burn moment. HA! Good fun!

HA! Good Fun!

am at threshold with our azata sorc and have learned a few new things along the way. there remains a number o' azata spells which continue to function wrong. example: believe in your self should provide a morale bonus to a single ability-- +1 for each 4 caster levels. unfortunate, is providing +1 for each four azata levels. also, the dc generated for azata spells is wonky and while the spells ignore sr, they frequent provide a save so those dcs are important. unfortunate, feats and abilities which ordinarily raise dc o' spells do not appear to work proper when generating azata dcs, but more on that in a minute. there is also azata spells which do not appear on most on-line guides for mythic spells. the aforementioned believe in your self shows up infrequent in lists which perhaps do little more than replicate the following: https://forum.owlcatgames.com/t/complete-mythic-spell-lists-beta/36196 if you have discovered ways to exploit skill checks and you didn't go the trickster route, then azata offers nice bonuses. is a rest bonus from sleeping at the azata "stronghold" which provides a +2 luck bonus for one hour, but is functional permanent. is also a spell, moral support, one o' the spells not showing on many guides for azata, which provides a significant skill and saving throw bonus which stacks with everything. at release moral support was lasting seconds per mythic level as 'posed to minutes, but it now works as described. waterfall sounds groovy, but in practice it is current a trap. when waterfall is cast, those who fail a fort save become vulnerable to cold damage for X minutes where X is the caster's mythic level. nice. waterfall is a conjuration spell and Gromnir took every mundane and mythic feat which impacted conjuration dcs, but those feats n' such do not impact azata spells as far as we can tell. nevertheless, we do not regret having sosiel taking one level of crossblood sorc for the cold spells. is a shield which provides +1 per die cold damage. is hide armour from wintersun which provides +1 per die elemental damage. take water and silver dragon for one level o' crossblood sorc and you benefit from conversion o' all energy spells to cold and another +1 cold damage per die. through mythic you may also add another bloodline, which should be another +1 per die cold damage. as such, sosiel's stormbolts is doing an additional +80 cold damage. sosiel doesn't have great dex, but is no reason you cannot boost his touch attacks so they hit even demon lords. hellfire rays, if such don't bother you too much from a rp pov, represent 45 hd o' damage, so that +4 per die mod becomes 180 bonus cold damage. no doubt the following is a "duh" kinda observation anybody who played azata deep into the game, but aivu becomes an incredible late game healer. is one reason am able to switch sosiel's focus to damage output. in the beta we had aivu through act iv and the dragon was great for dealing sonic damage, but the last few tiers o' spellcasting genuine transform aivu into a fantastic healer, which gives the dragon something useful to do while its breath weapon recharges. not an azata thing per se, but a divine hunter lann's velociraptor celestial animal companion is an absolute wrecker from midpoint o' the game onwards. the velociraptor is unique in that it gets a 14 charisma. why? *shrug* also, while the critter is 'posed to get one use of smite evil per day, the smite is actual usable once per encounter. with eagle splendor you are benefitting from a per encounter +4 smite ability, and is ways to raise further. the raptor gets a significant number o' attacks and on a charge attack is highly possible it functional renders a foe prone. we just completed the laughing caves encounter and lann's velociraptor dispatched the balor solo in one round, and only one attack were a successful critical. HA! Good Fun!

'ccording to a university film class we took an admitted long time in the past, family movies offer studios the most predictable positive roi. go figure. also, having met a few actors and actresses, our personal experience suggests more is like jim carey than you might want to believe, but they does a better job o' hiding their eccentricities than mr. carey... 'cause they are actors. high functioning l00ns. complete aside, for many students, particular at large public universities employing chronic overworked counselors, is frequent the case there is one bs class you need take to fill an inexcusably unexpected requirement to graduate on-time, and the film class were our desperation class. turned out being kinda fun and we don't regret enrolling, but we threw a rather immature and thankful private fit when we discovered we needed the extra class to graduate. HA! Good Fun!

playing evil in wotr suffers from the same fundamental problems playing evil in any heroic crpg faces. each evil game choice/option is gonna be almost entirely insular. for a single act to be clear evil, is gonna need be demonstrably selfish or cruel, or something similar. regardless o' the character's personal moral compass, there is a couple demon lords who is looking to lay waste to a good portion o' golarion, which is presumably where the player character keeps all o' his stuff, so is kinda a built in motivation for not wanting to become a victim o' the forces o' the abyss, even if you is personal as demonic evil as the invaders. however, wotr does provide mythic paths which allow you to kinda choose a flavour o' evil and to possibly differentiate your brand o' evil. demon, devil, lich, and swarm is all offering traditional evil options. is tough to play a genuine benign trickster, so if you is looking to play a kinda amoral sadist kinda evil, then is possible to do so. aeon is also offering the possibility to play kinda dispassionate evil. the players guide for the wotr pnp adventure path is available free from paizo. https://paizo.com/products/btpy919c?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Wrath-of-the-Righteous-Players-Guide third paragraph: The theme of good versus evil is paramount throughout Wrath of the Righteous, more so than law versus chaos. Good-aligned characters make the most sense for this Adventure Path, be they lawful, neutral, or chaotic. Whether you play a lawful good hero or a character with more f lexible morals, it’s important that your character be easily motivated to go to the Worldwound and fight demons. It‘s also a good idea, as in any campaign, to make your choice in a way that won’t be disruptive to the party. The disruption caused by bringing different alignments into the party will vary from group to group, so the best way to make sure that your choice works is to talk with your group about what you’re planning. ... evil is possible in wotr the crpg 'cause owlcat made such options available, but given the source material, is understandable if such fare feels a bit clumsy or ill-suited. HA! Good Fun!

and one more. HA! Good Fun!

if the supernatural critters would wipe their feet before coming inside during wet winter months, and perhaps manage to eat & drink w/o creating a mess in a .5 meter circumference 'round their bowls, we might consider the swap a trade up and a welcome change. HA! Good Fun!

your need to indulge false equivalency is unhealthy. why do you keep downplaying trump excesses and the insurrectionist efforts on january 6? answer: unless you do so you can't even convince your self that the gop, which embraced trump and is now seeming okie dokie with white supremacists sharing their tent, is just different branding o' the democrats. you latch onto minor mischaracterizations o' biden comments to the media and continue to support the overt ridiculous burisma conspiracy theories because you need to find equivalency between the bidens and the trumps, and reality makes that very hard indeed. is not hard to find individual bad democrats. create a ledger and tell your self that is just as many bad democrats as republicans-- proof they is all bad. whatever. ignore the past +five years. btw, have been banging the muslim ban thing for years, so@KP on top of ZA WARUDO is preaching to the choir in that respect, but bring up is useful for dealing with gd as well. the problem with kp's date is twofold: 1) trump promised a muslim ban in december o' 2015 2) many republicans were still criticizing the muslim ban in 2017 ... every major candidate at the time, republican and democrat, voiced their strong disapproval o' the initial muslim ban promise by trump. were an obvious bridge too far for republican and democrat leadership in late 2015. is not that those republican candidates were lying 'bout their rejection o' the muslim ban neither. were ez to vilify trump in 2015. by january 2017 there wasn't in actuality much more support for a muslim ban 'mongst even republicans than there were in 2016, but trump and bannon had figured out the formula and they knew that moderate republicans would eventual be complicit with the unthinkable if they kept selling hate and fear to the radicalized +20% o' their party. and that is what happened. republicans and independents as a whole did reject the muslim ban, but inch by inch and transgression by transgression, we got to a point where folks like mejier, who we suspect is no chance in hell woulda' defended white vans in oregon, burying ig reports, attempted overturn o' electoral college results and dozens o' other excesses way back in 2015 or even 2017, were struggling with such conundrums? should never have been any difficulty in standing up against such naked villainy, but that is what years o' incremental trump abrogation o' rule o' law and conscience did to the gop as the far right became more radicalized and the moderates passive and complicit followed behind, no doubt telling selves that doing so were ok 'cause they could limit the excesses but only from the inside... or somesuch similar self-serving doggerel. gd, on the other hand, has been perpetual hopeless. they is all bad forces him to downplay obvious excesses and magnify nonexistent or small ones. recall we were told by gd in early/mid 2020 is no way trump would challenge the election results if he lost and such stories were yet another example o' the media trying to make trump look like a monster. 'course when trump actual did challenge election results, gd only saw as proof the system worked as designed, 'cause trump is no longer in office, yes? the capacity human beings to engage in extreme self-delusion is fascinating and terrible, no? yeah, for Gromnir it were december 7, 2015 which were the date we realized that not only were trump unfit for office, representing something vile and repugnant which were impossible to embrace no matter what kinda transactional thinking you might wanna posit, but when we saw crowds cheer and alt-right (but increasing mainstream) media sources applaud his promise, we realized trump were more dangerous than we had previous believed. trump were intentional setting himself apart from those they are all the same beltway politicians and he were doing so not with a positive message, but rather with fear and bigotry. but again, many republicans were similarly disgusted and appalled by trump in 2016 and even early 2017. recall how low 2016 voter turnout was and just how many votes independents received... which gd mistaken identified as a sea change. inch by inch. crime by crime. we already noted just how counter intuitive the trump insanity is, but the more trump did wrong, and the more polarized the country became, the easier it were for people like mejier to meekly ignore each new transgression, and each new transgression made more clear to everybody but gd how ridiculous is his they are all bad silliness. HA! Good Fun! ps and this shouldn't need be said, but clear is-- if DEMOCRATS had been genuine appalled by trump's muslim ban in 2016, then trump would never have been elected to office in the first place. 12/7/2015 "should have been it for anyone with even a pretense of giving a **** about freedom or opposed to government overreach and yet too many folks were and are willing to swallow or downplay" such. instead, too many democrats sat on their arse or voted independent as gd advises. a gentle reminder how painful the mirror may be looking for bad guys.

is ez to look at the guys on the other side o' an issue and suggest they is different. they is lacking self awareness. they is selfish. given the qanon stuff in the article, am gonna once again note how some in this thread has suggested white republicans is uniquely susceptible to conspiracy theory. ignores reality that more than 50% o' democrats post 9/11 believed that the bush administration had awareness o' the impending attacks. am suspecting meijer convinced self trump were a passing phase. how many times did he need convince self that the threat posed by an executive unwilling to follow the rule o' law were exaggerated? dunno. the thing is, with each new gop excess, it got harder to admit mistake and easier to just go along with everybody else in the party. such willful indifference and complicity is not party specific failings, though the 2021 gop is doing their best to break new frontiers as they rush headlong towards the next unthinkable and unimaginable. is fair to criticize meijer, past and present. the thing is, if is no chance at redemption, then you diminish the chance o' additional come-to-jesus epiphanies. HA! Good Fun!

lack o' outrage is, we suspect, almost complete attributable to lack o' awareness. the pnp pathfinder fans clear didn't care, just as pnp d&d fans didn't care 'bout dragonspear's issue. wotr were not a new adventure path, so whatever issue pnp people mighta' had with anevia were pretty remote and well trodden. the gamergate folks are still largely unaware o' the anevia stuff, and the problem now is that many o' them has played through the game and likely has commented 'pon or come to conclusions regarding the title. sudden become aware and need face hypocrisy regarding dragonspear or change their position on wotr is not a comfortable place to be. how does one square contempt for dragonspear while giving wotr a pass? HA! Good Fun!

am not suggesting is the same, but the willingness to minimize the threat o' an autocrat is not new. the movie were in fact released not to criticize nazi germany but rather to highlight the fact the same willful ignorance had been embraced by far too many during the mccarthy era. we don't learn. in fact, because were not same, were easier to ignore the threat and the four years o' excesses and violations o' rule o' law. serious, how often did some idjit on these boards and elsewheres accuse folks o' trump derangement syndrome with each new complaint regarding the previous unthinkable? is not like trump were putin or hitler or... whatever. those patriots who ignored or deluded selves for more than four years were able to look to historical analogues and convince self that trump were hardly the monster being conjured by the liberal media to scare children and fence-sitting independents. inch by inch, and crime by crime, the rough beast, its hour come round at last, did slouch towards bethlehem to be born. ironic. with each new transgression it became more difficult to rationalize and marginalize trump, but in spite o' that it actual became easier for the gop to just go along, 'cause supporters became increasing personal invested in the lies and the knee-jerk tds and fake news responses became second nature. so which were more contempt worthy, the radicalized millions who cheered the monstrosity or the thousands with real power and influence who were fully aware o' what were happening within their party and nevertheless chose to look away, towards a future where trump would be gone and those radicalized millions would need look elsewhere to spend their political contributions? HA! Good Fun!

The political education of Peter Meijer “Well, my Republican Party wouldn’t scare him,” Meijer said with a shrug. I asked if he understood why George and his friends might be scared right now. He smirked. “The inability to affirmatively and consistently reject anti-Semitism and white supremacy?” The fundamental problem, Meijer said, is that Republicans are offering no plans for improving lives and making the future a more promising place. Instead, the party continues to rely on grievance and fear—and misinformation—to scare voters into their ranks. But he didn’t say any of this to George. ... the most disturbing aspect o' the current gop leadership is the collective awareness they is shoveling trump's bs, and the realization o' just how dangerous were january 6. these guys know how close we were to seeing the system break over a lie. tds? serious? nevertheless, these same individuals is active undermining already insufficient procedural safeguards so that if something similar happens in the future, the outcome will be different. HA! Good Fun!

we mentioned earlier in this thread how during a stream with owlcat and paizo developers, james jacobs, the creative director o' paizo, started talking 'bout how inclusive is the pathfinder game and how they specific designed wotr to be such... and the owlcat developers sudden became taciturn--looked like kids caught stealing. some serious poker tells on display with one owlcat personage literal covering her mouth with her hands. another owlcat visibly swallows and sudden begins looking at something or someone off-screen. 'course nobody from owlcat addressed james feedback, but one o' the owlcat community managers ('cause apparent they need two) changed the subject: okay, next question. and again, is not just hidden... hiding what were presented were matter o' fact in pnp. we did everything on the list provided and could not access. am suspecting this were not original capable o' completion, cause for us, with our original game, is not. HA! Good Fun!
