    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Question I'm trying to answer: does this mean I should buy weed stocks? In other words, does a crypto run launch the next weed/meme stock cycle too?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    More interesting (to me) than the price of BTC is the fact that it's moving counter to the market as a whole. People jumped the gun previously by calling it a market hedge, despite the fact that it never clearly made the jump from spec asset to hedge. Are we seeing the jump now? Probably not...

    I haven't been really been helplessly obsessed with a game like I was with the original BG games and some of the others in years, and ive always assumed its just because I grew out of it. I figured it was just one of those things you can only do when you're a kid. Nope. Apparently it wasn't...

    The only sex parter they are going to replace is Rosey Palm.

    Long story, but we have major communication problems. You know how you get someone every now and then where you just constantly misunderstand each other. Well, it sucks when it's your boss. She's also a bit of an ego maniac. She says dumb shit and then watches to see if you think it's funny...

    I get what you mean. My buddy works for a big bank, works from home, and automated his job years ago. He pulls in close to 200k a year doing shit with spreadsheets and works maybe 5 actual hours per week. He gets his fulfillment/enjoyment in places other than work. I'm totally not opposed...

    Yeah I had a feeling it wasn't just as simple as applying for a ups driver job and then you are suddenly pulling in 170k.

    Yeah rough times for everyone tbh. I'm watching people get axed around me left and right. I move around the country a lot, so my network is scattered- mainly in places I have already lived and don't really want to live again. Part of the problem is definitely the environment, i.e. the...

    Career investigator with a legal background (but not an atty). Currently a workplace investigator for a major media firm. Pays really well but my job basically consists of making everyone's life miserable by hounding them about bullshit I'd probably be doing myself. The industry is...

    Gotta make a change man. I keep catching myself drifting off into space while I'm supposed to be working. I'm having trouble even going through the motions these days. If I don't leave the job, the job is going to leave me- if you know what I mean. I don't know, I figured with all the new...

    Tired of my current career path and potentially looking to make a switch. Seeking advice from FoH bros on underrated/newer potential career paths. Obviously, this is a super broad topic and it depends on a million things, so I'm more looking for anyone who has stumbled upon a niche job or...

    True- but it seems like just the ability to scribe scrolls alone makes 1 level of Wiz worth it. You could basically turn your Bard into a Wiz with just 1 Wiz level. You'd miss out on the class/subclass features of the Wiz, but the benefits of being a Bard more than make up for that imo. Edit...

    That's huge. So I can cast Fireball (a level 3 spell) with only 1 level of Wizard? And I cast it as a Bard? If this is the case, I'm immediately rerolling lol

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Was thinking of going full Bard with just one level of Wiz in order to get access to the entire Wiz spell catalog BUT- do you use CHA for the wiz spells you cast, or INT? If INT, doesn't seem like it would be worth it...

    I did like 8 play throughs in EA and Barb was by far my favorite. Wasn't expecting it. Only got convinced to try it after reading some posts. My big hang up was that I didn't want to play a character with zero RP skills because I didn't want to miss out on stuff. Turns out Barb Intimidate...

    Yeah you can drag the portraits around the separate people and connect them. Once you start to pull the portrait you'll see chains connecting it to the others. Pull until they break

    The druid sanctuary is kind of buggy. I played through EA several times and twice i did something to make the whole fucking place turn on me. Wasn't at all clear what I did and it didn't seem combat related.

    I'm old, so I played BG 1 and 2 when they first dropped and loved them. Was playing 2nd Ed Dnd at the same time so all the system stuff made perfect sense at the time. I'll be honest, I tried to go back and replay them and absolutely could not deal with the system mechanics. As amazing as my...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Here's the problem, a lot of the people (SAG/WGA) trying to prevent the studios from using tech to save money are the same people who told coal miners to "learn to code" when the miners did the same thing. Personally, I feel like you have to let the market take its course in determining which...

    Well, it was on sale for like 11$ so no big loss if I get annoyed and drop it after a while. Plus, I'm going to try that mod @Burns mentioned.

    yeah, I may end up just doing PF anyway. Seems like the tedious management stuff is the only negative I've heard about it. Everything else is great.

    Looking for a good crpg to occupy my time until BG3 release (I'm trying my best not to play through the EA a 5th time). I know there is probably nothing out there comparable to BG3, but anyone have recs? The system makes a big difference to me. I couldn't go back to something like 2nd Ed...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    No issue dropping 70 on a game that plays l like D2, so long as I can ignore microtrans and not feel like I'm missing out. I really didn't like D3 though, so that's why I'm a little gun shy on D4.
