    You spent a lot of time on Bubbles there, chief, and that's what he wants. Do you think he will read any of that and/or care? Also, dude... a block of text with almost no capitalization is AIDS and makes it look like it was typed by a 15 year old. GIS of: "you got what Bubbles craves"

    San Antonio is just another big city, so remote workers would just live in the Austin burbs if they wanted a "big city experience" and, as stated, Corpus is the "best" coastal area close to Austin. It is a medium size town, so they probably have areas with fiber internet too. That said, I...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Depending on how far it is and how much you want to crawl up in the attic, you could run a HDMI and USB 3.0 cable from your bedroom to behind the TV. Plug a USB hub into the TV side and then a (wireless) mouse & keyboard into that hub. I have never used a powered USB hub, but maybe it would help...

    Some companies are allowing work from home, but have the stipulation of X hours drive from the office. So where else are people who like living on the coast going to go, that is "close" to Austin and has the amenities they want? I have heard it said that Corpus is a nicer coast than farther up...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    A lot of assumptions there chief. Hollywood, the whole lot of it, is what is retarding the development of anything creative in TV/Movies. While the studios forming something akin to a cartel are mostly to blame, the writers and actors are just negotiating to ultimately keep that system in place...

    They might add more to some of the follower quest/stories, but it's doubtful that they will add the upper city? It sounded like the upper city was firmly in the cutting room floor pile. Especially when you are already hitting max level about half way through Act 3 and increasing the level cap...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    If I have to sacrifice (enjoying) every show I like, which is maybe 2 or 3 a year, or every other year at this point, just to see actors, writers, and studios suffer and hopefully lose influence/clout, then I am cool with that. If a show like Chernobyl or Andor never gets made, due to the...

    Fucking clickbait trash. That's fucking dumb, not the final cutscene, and just a bug. That's the cutscene for the end of act 2, that they failed and rolls credits. You can end the game at many places before you reach the real end of the game. Furthermore, from the screenshot on the video, that...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I always thought it was the lighter weight that made the C4 faster, but after reading around a bit more on it, the 88/89 vette got much more HP out of almost the exact same powertrain due to various upgrades they gave the Vette. The F-Bodys (Firebird/Camaro) had cast iron heads whereas the Vette...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    To be fair, pretty much every car, that was not made in the 80s, has better power to weight ratio than a C4. The fucking environmental laws of the 80s destroyed horsepower production for a good 10 or so years there. I loved my F-Body Trans Am GTA to death, but that car was slooooow...for a...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    If I had watched Dredd when it came out, when I was younger and more inclined to action movies, I may have had different opinions on it, but having watched it, for the first time, in the last two years, I would rate my enjoyment as about the same for this movie as that one.

    The Expanse

    While that could have been great, I thought part of the point of Miller was that he wasn't doing anything righteous. He was just getting by with minimal effort, who then saw a person who could have had a life of relaxed luxury, that he dreamed of, but instead she tried to fight for Belter...

    Twi'lek genes are so weak that all of them are recessive. Star Wars has always been an IP that you cant think too much about. You mostly have to hope they don't put in overly retarded shit like gravity bombs in space or lasers that can destroy ships all of a sudden causing no damage after 20+...

    Hand Crossbow tip: The Teifling blacksmith can sell +1 hand crossbows randomly, which will refresh on each long rest. So it's good to check him after each long rest, since hand crossbows are rare, otherwise.

    The Expanse

    Millar was the best character and made season 1 good. Then Amos starts to pick up at the end of season 1 and season 2 to make the show peak with both Millar and Amos killing it. Season 3 mostly lacked Millar, so it looses a few points, but Avasarala, Drummar, and Bobby pick up for him, mostly...

    Yea, that dude sucks more (doom)cock than Midnight's Edge. The times I have tried to watch his videos I am unable to make it past the 2 min mark. While the Drinker repeats a lot of the same points, at least he is often entertaining when doing so, and his videos don't usually ramble on too long.

    I also tried to rest only when absolutely needed. Using 3 short rests per long rest and even not using spell recovery on Gale half the time (cause I would forget until combat started). With a 3 caster party it defiantly nerfed my damage output, even though Battle Master Lae'zel was just pouncing...

    Adding mobs on higher difficulty is what Pathfinder did, in addition to other stuff, and they were able to actually make a challenging game in the face of a pretty dramatic power curve. They also offer the option to speed up enemy animations, so turns don't take forever. The problem with adding...

    There is a mod that tries to increase difficulty, but with the lack of tools right now, the best they can do is change AC/saves, attack rolls, and HP. They really need to add more mobs too, so there is more shit coming at you, and AoE is more rewarding, but it is the early stage for mods, and...

    Mod Links. Be aware, some mods may require other mods (the weight limit and bags mods don't). More info below: You can install mods manually, with a little extra work, but once you get enough of them I found it better to use BG3 Mod Manager, since some mods require a load order (I don't think...

    I never play a short race, but figured it was a evil playthrough so why not. The Disguise Self (Fane) helm helped with that decision, as I just use the Elf or Half Elf illusion at all times. I might try to match races with various areas, but I played Drow in the first playthrough and reactivity...

    The meta race seems to be a deep gnome since they get advantage on Int/Wis/Cha saving throws. There are a lot of Int/Wis saving throws and advantage allows you to "safely" dump wis to 8 and not pay for it too much. Also, with Hexblade mod, you can use Cha for weapon rolls starting at level 2...

    Funny, I am also doing a Pally Dark Urge run as my second playthrough. I downloaded the Hexblade and extended PnP spells mods, so trying to have a more PnP type experience with 11 Pally / 1 Lock. Downside so far is that there are no spells that last until long rest, with one of the mods, so...

    You may need to be primed by Clone Wars and how that went from mediocre to good to great (as good as the original trilogy) as the seasons progressed. I skipped season 1 of Clone Wars originally too, and I don't think it caused many issues (also never seen any of the droid episodes to...

    Ah, yea. If you are on Twitch all the time, you would need to keep turning "twitchcdn.net" on/off in NoScript, in order to block the embed on other sites, and I could see how that would get annoying. I also did what Vorph said and it cleans up the page a bit more too.

    Never even knew they auto loaded Twitch until I read the Reddit post on them. Load up some blockers for your browser. With Ublock Origin and NoScript here is what I see on the BG3 wiki (I still prefer the layout of the other wiki I linked above, though):
