    Don't give away anything, but is the show faithful to these "short stories"? Or is it going in a different direction?

    Poker Face

    These types of shows require writers that have a creative imagination. Sadly, they've all been fired and replaced with DEI retards.

    You sure about that? I've never hit 12 in Act 2. I'm usually hitting 10 somewhere in the Mindflayer Colony, which is right before the final Ketheric fight.

    Silo

    Well, this IS based on a series of books. I assume the author has a vision for how it all plays out and isn't / didn't wing it from one book to the next.

    Where Raphael appears as you try and exit the House of Hope, I had a friend pack that area with an excessive number of smokepowder barrels -- all long the walls next to the pillars too. He set those things off in a chain reaction and killed everything. Hilarious.

    Were both employers aware that you had two jobs? I think that's a big no-no for us. There was talk about how one of our devs may have had a second dev job and it was insinuated that meant insta-canned.

    Also, throw darkness around the portal. Archers can't hit it. Sleet storm the area. Easy encounter.

    The Luckiest Man in America (2025)

    So would y'all recommend watching the episode first then the movie or vice versa? This sounds super interesting. There was a History series many years ago called "Gaming Vegas" or something.... Could be wrong on the title...but dramatized real life individuals that figured shit out in Vegas and...

    Wyll will come along too. I've had all three of us in Avernus. There is a reference at the Reunion Camp of finding blueprints or some such to fix Karlach. So there's a hint that she couldve been fixed in a DLC (which I guess will never happen). It's a shame we won't see any new content besides...

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    The original poster called out Will for "not understanding writing" is just wrong. His Ryan Drake series may not be Tom Clancy-level, but it’s solid, gripping, and well-crafted. He clearly knows how to build a story with good pacing and believable stakes.

    Can't do that in BG3. You memorize it once, but you can up-cast to higher level slots. Regardless, never noticed this before and I've used it plenty of times to set up for cold or lightning attacks.

    Is Create Water busted now? I can cast it once then it says can't cast again until long rest. This is the actual cleric spell, not the staff.

    Yeah, we had this fat fuck that was so fat he couldn't properly wipe his ass. The smell was so horrendous we had to get HR involved.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    These types of games were cool in the pre-MMO landscape, but I fail to see the appeal today. A massive world with just you in it? Feels pointless.

    If you remember, we had a huge run up during 2022 and quickly rejected off the 200 MA. We're quite a way from the 200 right now.

    Our division maintains two products that perform effectively the same function, both acquired when we bought out two competitors about 12 years ago. One acquisition was a surprise due to legal hurdles, but we got both, so now we have two products. One’s a hit in the U.S. market, while the other...

    I have a retarded friend that gave up on the game -- "it's too hard" -- because he was picking shit willy nilly. There are tons of builds videos out there.

    Here's another ShakyJake pro-tip: At High Hall, you can bypass pretty much everything. Here is the method I use: take a cleric, cast Sanctuary on yourself, use an Invisibility potion, and run directly to the large door at the back. Then, cast Fly, use another invisibility potion, and fly past...

    Giant barbarian seems pointless, since you already have Berserker thrower builds which are already OP as hell. I think my next playthrough will be a Hexadin.

    Wait until you get the Earth Myrmidon form. Also, you can easily break this game by stacking AC. Once you hit ~32 AC nothing can hit you. Spells of course can still land if you fail savings throws.
