US and UK were squeezing Japan because it was interrupting profffits in Asia. So war with an imperialist Japan seems inevitable. The main questions would have been, would Hitler still have declared war on the US if the math in Europe was different. Would Germany and Japan even been in a pact...

Hitler wanted to destroy the USSR over anyone else in the world. He had dreams of getting the UK to join him in his war against Stalin. If France and England didn't come to the aid of Poland, there would have not been a war with either the UK or France until at least the USSR was out of the way...

This reminds me, it's worth mentioning again: If you want the Japanese perspective on the surrender watch Japan's Longest Day. It was made in 1967, so there were still plenty of people alive for them to draw on for movie info. It's a bit ridiculous that moves like this, Come and See...

Sure, but if he cant even get past the first game, what classes are best in the second one doesn't really matter. Wizards have that hockey stick power curve, so they can be rather boring for the first 1/3 of BG1 or longer. Is there a respec mod for BG2? You could just do melee for the first...

The EA release of BG3 supposedly crashed Steam's servers, so... be prepared, if you are talking off work.

It says "camp clothing," so I would assume they put in an option to have a separate set of equipment that only shows up when you are in camp.

It may be different rules for what they showed at the media junket VS. the ability to spend hours and hours on anything while recording it all for the internet.

Can't have it both ways, if it's less destructive than firebombing, then nukes are just a way to do the same thing with far less risk to American lives. Therefor it would have been necessary to use as many nukes as they had, proceeding from that point forward, to save American lives that would...

Yea, even those hooks aren't great, if you fall backwards you will miss the safety hooks (falling on your ass shouldn't kill you though). Heavy weight should be inside a square squat station with a safety bar set at around waist/hip height. Gym straight up sacrificing safety trying to save some...

I am wondering if there will be more companions in chapter 2 that they aren't announcing. [Chapter 1 three-part spoiler, last one is the most spoilerish]: They leaned into choice and consequence with even companions. I was reading through them on Fextralife and realized that not only are 2...

Netflix had nothing to do with it; Riot financed and made it, then sold the distribution to Netflix.

Since they wont say how many accounts created a character, all we have to go off of is total creations, so 7.7k is ~0.1% of that. What percent of people/kids would you think are poopsocking during the height of summer break (and, of course, steamers sticking it out for viewers)?

Text from the sailors on the sailing vessel Corto On April 25th at 01:00, we left Cherbourg and set sail for Camaret (the tip of Brittany). We are two experienced sailors on board (Simon and me) with the objective of bringing the boat to Southern Brittany. At 15:30, we were at sea, more than...

Great Success!1!

That must have been rough. I thought Oak Cliff was high crime/murder rate hood from around 1980 to 2010 or so. Someone said it's back to white gentrification sorta nice now.

Name that tune, sort of thing, or rather where it's from:

I was thinking about a wild magic Sorc PC, but without being able to read through the negative side of the wild surge table, I don't think I want to babysit it for a first playthrough. Having half your gold disappear was fucking dumb in BG2. I also don't know how conversations work, if I run up...

A huge part of the draw of western RPGs is choice and consequence with good to decent fantasy stories. So if modern games have conditioned you to skip dialog, especially if its not voiced, then you are not going to have a good time with the older games, for the most part. Some of the modern...

Seems like 90% of the characters on the show are gay. They also had their token trans and cripple. Of course there were body positive fatties and most of the women are ugly (only two attractive woman in the whole show that weren't extras). An Angel with a congenital disease, along with the...

Act 1 is probably 80%+ complete in the EA and you can play it all. The EA ends when you reach the various different transition ways into chapter 2. So those are just the skill checks in act 1, which was supposed to be about 1/3 of the game, but that figure was from the start of EA. I think the...

Found this on the Fextralife wiki and it could be useful to get an idea of trying to cover skills: Edit: found it on NeoSeeker, with even more details on what Min/max mean: https://www.neoseeker.com/baldurs-gate-3/guides/Skill_Checks

Set woke to 11 and engage...

Is that book new, or just not used very much? Neither of the sites I linked above have it listed, but obviously didn't check the huge, more difficult to navigate, official wiki.

New to the game on release vs. what's in the EA. There are a few homebrew too (I think). Can read about the PnP version, like Spore Druid on these 2 sites: https://rpgbot.net/dnd5/characters/classes/ http://dnd5e.wikidot.com

Kensai were deigned OP and eliminated in 5e. More in depth run down: https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Classes

Haven't watched season 3 yet, so hard to say, but that sex doll site has the "sex holes" pictured in a few places, and it looks a bit scary.

I vaguely remember a Vice episode (I think) on dudes that dress up their real dolls and act like they are real people. In that show, I thought they said Real Dolls were around $10k. So $3k seems like a deal! As to where you keep it, if you aren't the werdos in that old Vice piece that took...

I support replacing all child parts in Hollywood with dwarfs, since 99% of child actors are shit. Dwarfs are also better equipped to fight off the Hollywood molesters crowd.

(Other than what Void said) There was some discussion on this on the Steam forum. The most plausible thing I read was that Steam is not set up to preload EA games, so they would need to put the EA into a beta branch. Then you can download the release client as a preload, but locking the...

Donald & Stephen Glover wrote some funny shit in the show Atlanta and made a generally good show, so if they give him free reign, he might be able to salvage that IP. I doubt he will get free reign though, so more development by committee horseshit.

Here is the in game overmap with the chapter 1 POI on the map, in the east. Each chapter moves you west, toward Baldur's Gate. I don't remember if you can quick travel in EA. Can zoom it a bit:

The surrender was not cut and dry and the movie Japan's Longest Day goes into how contentious the surrender was. Would the military command been more inclined to defy the Emperor, had the bombs not been dropped? Maybe. Dude does a pretty good job laying out the arguments over bomb usage, in...

Yea, it doesn't sound great, but maybe it could have changed over the course of development into more bloodlines like, which might have worked. I also look at the game Dark and Darker and see it mechanically working like that, but with a full RPG story and side quests.

I can't think of a single game that I spent more time on it outside the game than actually playing it. I have maybe hit the 200 hour mark on 1 out of every 50 games I have played, so someone spending 200 hours putting that together, especially when it's so close to release, seems ludicrous.
