[timid walrus]

are both addons not working at the same time?
Because then it sounds like an addon issue

[forest pike]

its no addon only a macro

[obsidian geyser]

what do you mean when saying "doesnt work"

not cast anything at all?

and thats true for both of those macros?

and is Hauen Maul?

[timid walrus]

Think hauen is thrash

[obsidian geyser]

sounds more likely yea

[forest pike]

doesnt work means i klick the macro and nothing happends

[forest pike]

your right no cast is possible for the macro and yes its true for both and yes hauen is Maul

[obsidian geyser]

assuming you have rage/cd is ready

sounds like a hardware issue that shouldnt be possible

[forest pike]

After the Key i wrote the Makro new and it Works absolutley Fine

[obsidian geyser]

as I said with what you described that isnt possible in wow itself, so if everything is true that has to be another issue not macro related

[forest pike]

Thank you i search Gagarin for an anderer

I made a mistake on ending act2. Shadowheart is gone forever.

😭

[analog sedge]

Not Shadowheart

[versed timber]

That hoe doesn't hit anything anyway

[light pilot]

She is not dead btw but just gone

[versed timber]

Haven't finished act 1 yet. Laughed a lot when I received an inspiration point for killing "an innocent civilian" while I had no conséquences for shooting a crossbow bolt straight into a goblin kid

[light pilot]

Btw Gale sex scene is weird af

Well you can have that scene with different companion in a playthrough btw

But not sure how to get back to romance if you break someone up

[versed timber]

You don't breakup. You part through gruesome death.

[light pilot]

I have sex with Karlach that broke up with her

Then Gale dialogue come up from no where

😎

I was gonna reload save to get Shadowheart back but to think I have to fight thag boss, just no.

He took me 30 min to beat him so much teleporting

[versed timber]

Made thé mistake of getting inside a well populated with phase spiders

Never again

[light pilot]

😆

[versed timber]

Saw thé local boss, nope out forever

[light pilot]

I went there at lv6 that spider is hard

[versed timber]

Wasn't level 4 yet, got that extra level during thé great cleansing of thé goblin camp.

[light pilot]

Go there later

[versed timber]

That's when I learned I had to put everyone into hiding mode when sneaking around

Or turn off group mode

[light pilot]

You will surpise how many mobs you need to fight in one encounter in act2

😅

[versed timber]

As long as I can get a headstart by sneaking around, I don't worry much

Going full murder hobo anyway

When in doubt, a sneaky crossbow bolt is always thé answer

[light pilot]

The most annoying part is when they reach you, theh dont just hit but disarming you.

I lost blue weapon twice

[versed timber]

OOF

[light pilot]

for example

[versed timber]

[obtuse dawn]

😂😂😂

I befriended them, then pickpocketed everyone, then like you the great purge

[shy mesa]

A lot of wizard specs have their ups and downs.

[light pilot]

well illusion wizard is more tanky than plater

[shy mesa]

Never fear that they all have their big spells further down the line.

[light pilot]

i mean better mitigation

[shy mesa]

Heck, one wizard spec, transmutation I think, basically allows you to shapeshift near the end.

XD

[shy mesa]

Illusion if I remember right can use stuff to lower accuracy, give yourself mirror image, and such.

Blur*

Blur is a great wizard spell btw.

if memory serves.

makes your wizard kinda good at evasion.

[light pilot]

I can summon cat dummy every turn to take dmg

[shy mesa]

Ah yeah.

[light pilot]

so op

[shy mesa]

Eventually, maybe you'll get an undead.

No necromancy spec?

:p

[light pilot]

I already get zombie on warlock

[shy mesa]

aha...

[light pilot]

everyone in my team have pet for taking dmg

[shy mesa]

Hmmm.

Wizards and warlocks iirc, have to invest in higher ranks of their pet spells if they want it to get better.

[light pilot]

maybe but pet with 1 hp is good enough 😄

[shy mesa]

Hrm. =/

Depends what skills it has.

[light pilot]

tbf I use pet on to be meat shield

[shy mesa]

If it has skills that allow it to not die too fast, then yeah, it's a good meat sponge.

[tidal knoll]

Super offtopic but I need a healer for Echo Progress tonight (killable) do you know where I could find someone like that like are there discord servers? any help is appreciated :3

[light pilot]

post in general 😄

[obtuse dawn]

Is this a wizard pun because of teleportation

You sly bastard

[viscid swan]

try the guild recruitment discord’s “looking for group” channel

[shy mesa]

😉

[light pilot]

Im still playing around act2, havent gone act3 yet.|| You are gonna love inn massacre event.||

[light pilot]

telling you this entering each entrance to act 2 will trigger different event 😄

[obtuse dawn]

Game been out for 3 days and you’re already going into act 3

Do you sleep ? 😂

[light pilot]

I do lol

[obtuse dawn]

Vulkan in this game is a buggy mess

Jesus

They need to update their DLSS

[sturdy field]

them adding vulkan means the game should run flawlessly on the deck, since proton usually have to to DX -> VK calls, now it doesn't have to

[obtuse dawn]

Ah good point

That’s probably why

I just get black screens on it randomly

[tulip coral]

too goods

[candid edge]

BG3 runs hot too lol

[tulip coral]

my friend from work already has like 185 hrs. he's commited, can't blame him

[analog sedge]

Are they using vacation time? 👀

[obtuse dawn]

God damn makes @hoothoot Look like a noob

[tulip coral]

yeah, he was out majority of the week

[analog sedge]

Not gonna lie I thought about it so I can play more Co-op with the wife

[light pilot]

that time include EA

I guess i have more

[obsidian geyser]

how about you go play with butters

[candid edge]

Jfc

[obtuse dawn]

Game just be that good

Bet you it lands Game of the Year award, WoW DF might take it though so we’ll see

[analog sedge]

Butters eating bone @obsidian geyser

[obsidian geyser]

oh who did Butters kill?

[light pilot]

dark urges is a pain

I just killed one of my companion

[timid walrus]

loaf!

[versed timber]

Loaf !

[shy mesa]

212.8 hours of playtime on Trails into Reverie so far. 😄

And I'm not even at the end, and playing on normal. >_>

(to be fair, some of those hours are AFK hours)

[analog sedge]

My enemies

[sturdy field]

I hear everyone talking about how great they're doing in BG3 and talking about stuff, and I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing (have zero xp in DnD and never played a similar game before), and I am having trouble winning battles at the easiest level. I lost a potential party member ||(the cage despawned after I left the area, rip)|| lol. I kinda expected that to happen, I played FFX first time last year and I had to restart 30 hours in, second playthrough always the real one for me lmao

[light pilot]

Gonna go full evil next playthrough 😄

There are a lot of potential on that side

[timid walrus]

BAER hopes BAER is not your enemy

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah the systems in the game are complex so don’t feel bad

If you need to adjust the difficulty down while you learn

[sturdy field]

im at the easiest already lol

[obtuse dawn]

Look up don’t YT videos too, I learned a lot for rogue. I kept getting on their flank and trying to sneak attack and it wasn’t working

They did away with back stab sooo

[sturdy field]

im spending an enormeous amount of time trying to remove some parts of the fog of war on the map early on lmao

[obtuse dawn]

There’s a fucking lot going on and the game doesn’t hold your hand learning

Pressing T on items will reveal a hot tip you can move your mouse over and learn about various stuff. Even then I’m googling it

G will separate everyone

Shift C will crouch everyone

Oh and you can knock people out with a toggle on your hot bar instead of killing them

Forgot you’re playing with controller 😂

[sturdy field]

yeah i think the knock people out part was shown

[obtuse dawn]

It’s buggy

[sturdy field]

its a toggle in the actions with controller, but i tried again with keyboard/mouse this morning

[obtuse dawn]

I use Kb/m like I used to in dungeon keeper 2. I go pretty far out and click

Short clicks are annoying

[light pilot]

try tactician 😄

so much fun, even some stupid spells are useful

[obtuse dawn]

Hard pass

[light pilot]

im sure you wont use illusion school in normal difficult

😎

in tactician, it is so much important. at least for me

[obtuse dawn]

I don’t have 130 hours on the game like you

😂

[light pilot]

early access doesnt count

it is too ez

[obtuse dawn]

Totally does

Least for act 1

You played act 1 like 40 times 😅

No wonder you’re almost in act 3

You beast

[light pilot]

😲

[candid edge]

Bro that c to stealth or whatever

Drives me up the wall

I keep hitting it thinking I’m gonna check character sheet

[dark grove]

what class are you gust playing in bg3?

[light pilot]

Warlock/fighter

For eldritch blast turrent 😄

[dark grove]

are you enjoying it?

[light pilot]

Wdym

[dark grove]

the game

does it live up to your expectations?

so far?

[light pilot]

Better

[dark grove]

I haven’t been able to start

stuck on family trip

[light pilot]

So many events and stories

[dark grove]

damn

i’m so excited

Ima go lore bard

what. classes are op in Bg3? warlock and monk?

i heard bard warlock and monk got buff or something

[light pilot]

Not a fan of melee

Monk suck to me

Maybe good on nornal difficulty

[dark grove]

oh really?

what classes are good on higher difficulty?

[light pilot]

Depend, I play 2 locks, pally/wiz and assassin

[dark grove]

damn

i thought bard was good

[light pilot]

Maybe it is good but I dont like buff class

[candid edge]

I have no clue what I’m doing I’m just bumbling along with my buddy and we’re having a good time

[dark grove]

that’s what I would have done if I could play the game during the first week

my buddies are enjoying it without me

[candid edge]

Idk what’s going on all I know is I let a vampire suck the blood out of my buddy

[obtuse dawn]

I wouldn’t sweat it, there’s no rush. Game took 3 years to make and who knows if we’ll ever get anything like it again

[sturdy field]

me walking around talking to bears (im druid),

[timid walrus]

[shrewd iron]

[obtuse dawn]

Druids are lil bitches in this game I swear

[obsidian geyser]

[versed timber]

[dark grove]

[versed timber]

Some wooden planks blowing up whenever I shoot those is kinda weird

[light pilot]

rip perception

[clever temple]

[timid walrus]

@half nova

[half nova]

congrats, you qualify for retired role now

congrats, you are now retired

[timid walrus]

When will BAER get the retirement benefits? BAER needs the money to buy a chair to yell at younglings to get off BAER's lawn.

[half nova]

[timid walrus]

[lunar mirage]

[sharp fog]

So what is the regular retirement I dont understand

[half nova]

basically, regulars that are regular, but not active in wow. its more for social purposes

a lot of the decisions the mod team makes can be "whats the best option for the community?"

[sharp fog]

Ok I think I get it

[versed timber]

No perception check beforehand, that was for the barricade next to the dude to save from the fire

For some reason, those planks explode

https://tenor.com/view/dungeons-and-dragons-dungeon-master-magic-gif-17932644

[timid walrus]

BAER is still active in wow though....

[half nova]

not like you used to be

[timid walrus]

Huh?

[half nova]

back when you had no chores, and ate dino nuggies

now you have a career

growing up sucks

[timid walrus]

But now at least BAER has money to spend on taxes, monthly subscriptions, food, and stuff breaking down!

Wait..

[timid walrus]

So BAER should spam more BAER memes?

[half nova]

no spam

but times have definitely changed over the years

[timid walrus]

BAER misses some of the OG DG users

[versed timber]

Thyme changed over the years, indeed

[timid walrus]

BAER likes to think BAER hasn't changed

Plz someone confirm

Ok, BAER changed hat, but other than that BAER hasn't changed

[half nova]

BAER is still BAER

[timid walrus]

[half nova]

just 6-7 years older 😦

[timid walrus]

[obsidian geyser]

Lies

Thyme never changes

[sharp fog]

Thymes change

It's war that never changes

[timid walrus]

BAER thinks war got pretty much buffed and nerfed constantly over past few xpacs and even patches

They're were in the patch notes constantly

[sharp fog]

BAER should stop thinking then

[timid walrus]

BAER thinks therefore BAER is

If BAER stops thinking BAER isnt

But BAER is BAER

So BAER has to think

To BAER or not to BAER

That's the question

[sharp fog]

[timid walrus]

The answer is to BAER

[sharp fog]

BAER is zoinked out his brain for sure

[timid walrus]

BAER doesn't drink or do drugs

[sharp fog]

Missing out

[timid walrus]

Nah, BAER is fine, BAER got good food

[sharp fog]

Thats perfect

Love that for baer

[timid walrus]

[obsidian geyser]

but isnt food also a drug for BAER can BAER survive without food or is he addicted?!

[timid walrus]

Boolean querie requires boolean reply: yes

[obtuse dawn]

Jesus this entirely convo makes my head hurt

[obsidian geyser]

[sharp fog]

It is 3 questions condensed into one sentence with no punctuation

[light pilot]

@obtuse dawn i just found gamebreaking class 😄

[versed timber]

[light pilot]

Pally can crit 200 dmg 😄

[obtuse dawn]

That doesn’t sound fun though

[light pilot]

Yep it need to be nerf

[obtuse dawn]

There’s a bug in underdark that makes a spore you get do like 300% damage, I found it by accident. Deleted it immediately

[light pilot]

Well what I found is stacking buff. Sound legit

[obtuse dawn]

Game still needs a couple of bug passes but overall haven’t ran into a great deal

Thank you for breaking up BAER chat

😐🔫

[light pilot]

Well I mostly stay in Larian discord where nobody ask me to go sim first 😄

[obsidian geyser]

there is a great interrobang

if that isnt punctuation I dont know what is

[obtuse dawn]

Smart move

Least we killed bear towers here now that amance got yelled at in guardian

Zero IRL bear stats were posted after that

[light pilot]

I love reading ppl weird idea 😄

[light pilot]

Btw act2 story is really good

[obtuse dawn]

That’s good!

[light pilot]

In the end, everyone realise they have been lied all along 😄

[sharp fog]

Extremely based enjoyer of the interrobang

[obsidian geyser]

the gnaborretni is weirding me out tho

not a fan of that one

[timid walrus]

[versed timber]

[obtuse dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-timon-nope-gif-gif-25999411

[candid edge]

I ran into an eyeball

We all promptly died

[light pilot]

sentry eye?

or underdark eye?

[versed timber]

Thé petrifying eye ?

[candid edge]

Idk some cutscene with petrified statues

Then we all got railed

[light pilot]

oh

pray 😄

[candid edge]

I couldn’t find the Druid in the goblin camp and we just kept descending

Further and further down

Until we saw laser beam defenses killing Minotaurs or some shit lmao

Then ran into eyeball

Clearly didn’t belong there

[light pilot]

you arent gonna kill the eye with normal way

[candid edge]

I didn’t want to kill it I wanted to find druid buddy and rescue my friends

[light pilot]

spoiler !!
||you are going in the wrong direction. just go up.||

[candid edge]

Nope not clicking

I’m trying to know as little about the game as possible lol

While playing

[light pilot]

haha

[candid edge]

All I know is I’m a wimp and d on t like fighting cause fighting is clunky af

I just try to talk my way out of shit lmao

[light pilot]

you can pass the laser with invisbility btw

and there are other method but not gonna tell you. just go find out 😄

real pain 😄

[obtuse dawn]

You’re def underleveled for that area

Aren’t you like 3-4?

[obtuse dawn]

Sweet Jesus if you think this is clunky don’t play divinity 2 😂

[obtuse dawn]

Someone clearly doesn’t have shadowheart 😂

[light pilot]

lol she is not my main anyway

now I lost Halsin too

[light pilot]

btw her arc in act2 is really good 😄

[obtuse dawn]

As a rogue main her guidance and stealth spell have come in clutch so many times

[light pilot]

that was wisdom check. guidance doesnt work

[obtuse dawn]

Then I met red, don’t wanna spoil it for everyone else but I really like that character

[light pilot]

I dont play wisdom user 😄

[versed timber]

My rogue + Astarion are deadly with cleaver use of stealth

[light pilot]

||rogue is worse in late game :D||

[obtuse dawn]

Nah it’s ability check

[versed timber]

It will keep on being great

[obtuse dawn]

Anything that’s ability based it adds d4 to

[light pilot]

nah I have one person with guidance but there is no option in that dialogue

[obtuse dawn]

Huh?

I use it for pickpocketing and conversation all the time

[light pilot]

yep but doesnt work with wisdom check

there are other ability

[obtuse dawn]

OH

Sorry I thought you meant it was a wisdom check

[light pilot]

so many ability check buff if you play cleric

[obtuse dawn]

Red is my fav chat now at this point

Char

[light pilot]

btw cleric has one op spell

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah true!

[light pilot]

guardian of faith

[obtuse dawn]

I don’t think I have that one yet

[light pilot]

lv 7-8 cleric

[obtuse dawn]

I’ll have to look

Counterspell comes in clutch

[obtuse dawn]

I’ll check it out in 20 hours 😂

4 to 5 took ages

[light pilot]

it will be faster in act 2

[obtuse dawn]

Underdark is still act 1 right?

I have zero idea if I’ve transitioned into act 2 😂

Nvm, damn act 1 is long af

[light pilot]

shadowland is act2

act 2 is short dw

about 10 hours

[versed timber]

Underdark and phase spider lair are my last two landmarks to clear in act 1

[obtuse dawn]

Spider lair is a bitch

One thing I respect about this game is that mobs don’t scale with you

So tired of that mechanic in rpgs

[light pilot]

that good if they scale with you, it will be nightmare

if you fight with monk, you will hate this game 😄

[versed timber]

Next playthrough I'll go Monk

[light pilot]

i mean if npc is monk

2 turns and you die and you cant run away from them

first type that I have to use hold person

[versed timber]

Dead people usually don't run away, true

[obtuse dawn]

😂😂😂

[versed timber]

Unless there's a nécromancer around

[light pilot]

or spore druid 😄

both can sum zombies

[obtuse dawn]

Oooo true

I gotta up my gale game because that dude is weak af to damage

Think I need to magic armor him at the start of a round

[somber pumice]

@obtuse dawn Finally started playing the game

I'm making a Green Dragon Druid

[obtuse dawn]

Oooo you’re in for sucha ride

[somber pumice]

Well I already played EA but so many things have changed

[obtuse dawn]

I was looking at the art design from EA to now and man they added a lot to the atmosphere alone

[somber pumice]

||Halsin offered to join the camp||, if he's a companion I'll 100% team with him (playing with a friend who's playing a Barbarian + Ranger Lae'Zel)

Edited for spoilers :v

[obtuse dawn]

You’ll see! I don’t wanna spoil

I did dump lae’zel for a certain badass red

Couldn’t stand her

I hate you one moment and the next hey let’s bang

Get out.

[somber pumice]

I can't either but my friend RPs a character who seems to enjoy being debased like this

[obtuse dawn]

Haha 😂

[versed timber]

She's too efficient in fights so far for me to ditch her

[obtuse dawn]

I thought that too until I realized a certain character can rage throw a fucking dwarf into a crowd of people like a bowling ball and knock them down

Dunno what it is about that move that’s so satisfying

[somber pumice]

The game has that Divinity / Wasteland 3 quality where you've played for 30 minutes and you already want to make 10 different builds

[versed timber]

I really liké her getting a free attack after every single attack she throws since level 5

[light pilot]

I tried to join multiplayer but it keep getting disconnect

[somber pumice]

She's like one of those WoW dungeon players who keep whining thoughout the run and finally are super happy when it turns out you've timed the key

[light pilot]

in public server btw

[obtuse dawn]

That’s a perfect example 😂😂

[bronze crane]

I've seen so many people type "nop" in their m+ title, what does it stand for?

[sturdy field]

define "title"

[bronze crane]

The title when they list a key

[sturdy field]

hm, im not sure

No Pressure, it's a community of non-toxic m+ players

I'd actually advise for everyone to join either No Pressure / Chill Streak if EU or WoW Made Easy if NA

S1 was when I found out that "chill player", "casual player" and "I don't want to PUG with toxic shits player" doesn't equal to "Noob player"

[obtuse dawn]

@sturdy field https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-devs-top-tip-for-dd-newcomers-take-it-slow-and-trust-the-dice

I gotchu

"“If you’re coming into Baldur's Gate completely new, and you’re not used to this genre I can give you one tip: worry less about closing out quests and winning fights, and instead focus on exploring, toying with the tools and systems, remembering to take it slow, and trust the dice,” Douse said.

“It’s not a game about heading to a waypoint and clearing the map for a reward. It’s a game about both narratively and systemically overcoming challenges using your wits and creativity. You’ll be rewarded in areas you least expect it, as you start to own the narrative. Agency!

“Talk to animals. Talk to the undead. If you can’t, find out how. Something locked? Knock. Inaccessible? Stack crates. Turn into gas. Shrink. Grow! Everything you think you can’t do, you quite possibly can. Trust yourself, and trust the dice. It reacts to your success & failures.”"

Very much on point

[versed timber]

See a non dead entity ? Deadify it

[light pilot]

talk to dead is very useful spell, espeacially in act3

[obtuse dawn]

I'd imagine

[versed timber]

What if I made people dead because I didn't want to engage in a conversation with them in the first place ?

[obtuse dawn]

This game is all about about being creative, I dont think people honestly are used to that in an RPG

There's so many ways to solve puzzles and shit

[light pilot]

free xp 😄

[versed timber]

It allows me to be the murder hobo I always wanted to be

[obtuse dawn]

I feel like after playing a rogue now I have a problem robbing people and stealing everything.

If it's red, I want it.

10 gold? I don't care. I want it.

[light pilot]

meh

[obtuse dawn]

Im at 20,000 gold

still in act 1

[light pilot]

Im stop robbing npcs since act2

it is too hard to avoid guards

[obtuse dawn]

No waaaay, invisibility for days

😄

[light pilot]

you will understand when you get there 😄

[obtuse dawn]

So you're telling me to rob more here

in act 1

Got it.

[light pilot]

lol

[versed timber]

Rob the whole druid place

And the refugees

[sturdy field]

fun thing, ||that lady in the screenshot, I don't have her in my party because I didn't open cage and went to camp, she's MIA and prob dead somewhere lol||

[light pilot]

rip her arc is as good as Shadowheart

[sturdy field]

I already knew going into this I would fuck up my first run I know nothing lol

[versed timber]

There's no fucking up

Only happy accidents

[sturdy field]

i learned to press f5 though

thats me

[versed timber]

Big OOF

[light pilot]

only critical roll allow 😄

[obtuse dawn]

||they whiny anyways, good riddance. Red is 1000% better||

[sturdy field]

i dont think I have met that person yet

[obtuse dawn]

||Glad to kick her ass out of the group as soon as I found another tank||

imho WAY better

way way way better

[sturdy field]

is that their name?

[obtuse dawn]

Nah

I dont wanna spoil it

[light pilot]

||she less whinning after major event between act1 and act2||

[obtuse dawn]

You'll know

[sturdy field]

i have like a bajillion quests to do, i havent progressed the story at all after getting to the druid place lol

[obtuse dawn]

||too late, red my fiery girlfriend with a heart of gold|| 😄

[obtuse dawn]

you'll have plenty of time for them, Im 36 hours played and just scratching the second part of Act 1

or third part

I dont even know

Which I love

[sturdy field]

im splitting my time between wow/d4/zelda totk/splintercell blacklist (thats random)/bg3

i need more time

[obtuse dawn]

LOL

you're poor guild

[light pilot]

||you can be girlfriend/boyfriend to eveyone :D||

[sturdy field]

i forgot to add ffxiv in there, but its there too

[obtuse dawn]

||SHE EVEN SUCKS HOOKING UP WITH. Couldn't stand her alpha ass. Good riddance.||

[obtuse dawn]

I dont blame you

[obtuse dawn]

"While there is no deadline to apply for PACT Act-related benefits, there is urgency. Most Veterans and survivors who apply for benefits or submit an “Intent to File” by August 9, if granted, will have their benefits backdated to August 10th of last year – the day that President Biden signed the PACT Act into law."

Just go put in a IoF, you can even do it online I think

kk back to gaaame

Yeah

Aug 7 2024

I gotta do one for all the other stuff too

I just submitted my police report for my PTSD claim so it reminded me of you

[solid needle]

Can I do all my stuff on the one app?

Or do I need one for each thing I wanna claim

[obtuse dawn]

I’d go talk to a VSO, they’ll get you squared away

You basically need; diagnosis, military event and nexus letter to link the diagnosis with the military event

Then fill in any gaps with buddy letters from people you served with or family

Friend of mine is retiring, did all that and got 100%

Dude will get $3600 just from VA the rest of his life never having left San Diego

[obsidian geyser]

as a vet do you know whats wrong with all the #feral s

they are very weird

[obtuse dawn]

I’ll defer that to Nexii 😂

[timid walrus]

BAER knows what's wrong, they're ferals

[obsidian geyser]

but BAERs also used to be ferals

[timid walrus]

BAER didn't say BAERs aren't weird

BAER is BAER though

[obsidian geyser]

but if BAER is BAER how can BAER be weird

[timid walrus]

Everyone is weird!

[light pilot]

baldur gate is so huge. larger than act 1 😄

[shy mesa]

That's what she said.

😛

[shy mesa]

They have been toyed with long enough by Blizzard that their sanity has fallen into the negatives.

[obtuse dawn]

Dis looking real good for a rogue

[dark grove]

that’s an op weapon

[light pilot]

crit on hit object

🤷

[obtuse dawn]

eh?

Dual wield would up the percent wouldn't it?

Nvm, yeah

Its on hit but still damn good

[light pilot]

[obtuse dawn]

So turns out talking to dead people is pretty cool lol

[candid edge]

dark and darker

[obtuse dawn]

Oh god

I didnt know about upcasting

this entire time I was thinking gale did terrible damage

Im an idiot

[sturdy field]

@obtuse dawn I just got her

[obtuse dawn]

RIGHT?!

How anyone picks toad girl is beyond me

[sturdy field]

Well I didn't have a choice

[obtuse dawn]

Well the game was helping you

[sturdy field]

just kinda awkward that she came to my camp and ||Wyll just doesn't say a word about it. He wanted me to slay her lol||

[obtuse dawn]

that happen to me then I slept

and the drama started

[sturdy field]

oh yeah

lmao, "Fuck yes"

lmfao she's just destroying the whole house and yelling "fuck you" at boxes

[obtuse dawn]

I immediately fell in love

😂

[clever temple]

[sturdy field]

[white carbon]

[light pilot]

You will like her. Trust me.

[light pilot]

Nah dont think it is bg3 that kill that game but the dev themself.

@obtuse dawn glad you are having fun

[obtuse dawn]

Thank you! Did you grab a copy?

[solid needle]

Naw

[light pilot]

||I just saw tentacles scene :D||

[obtuse dawn]

Hot

[obtuse dawn]

Dang! Not a fan of the game?

[solid needle]

I just spent $2k buying two modern format magic decks

So not spending anything else

[candid edge]

@obtuse dawn dark and darker is dope

Might me my new addiction lol

[versed timber]

Just got into act 2, god, hope this one will be short, light management is pain :q

[light pilot]

act2 is short 😄

action pack

Im enjoy playing detective in act3 rn

||Lazel got kidnap btw||

[versed timber]

||Got the whole Last Inn obliterated ||

[shy mesa]

Toad girl...Do you mean the Githyanki?

or however that is pronounced.

[light pilot]

I guess he mean her.

[shy mesa]

They are good against Mind Flayers.

Their mortal enemies.

[light pilot]

I hate Githyanki

their fight is so hard

[shy mesa]

^^;

They can be hard-asses.

[light pilot]

cc the entire team in one turn

[shy mesa]

But it's kind of understandable when you know their whole race was once enslaved by the Mindflayers.

[light pilot]

I got hold person on all four

[shy mesa]

They have psionic abilities like them though.

Apparently, they were humans once from a faraway plane of existence.

[light pilot]

im not there yet

[shy mesa]

?

[light pilot]

[shy mesa]

Oh, this is just stuff taken from DnD lore.

Can easily google it.

[light pilot]

oh not in bg3 right?

||cuz im still not doing anything with the toad in the artifact||

did a lot of side quest

[shy mesa]

I don't think so. This is origin story stuff.

[light pilot]

||there is an explaintion from the emperor in the beginning of act3||

[shy mesa]

It says that most Githyanki don't even remember that, because it predates their split into 2 factions.

You got the Githyanki, which are more militaristic and basically want revenge.

and the Githzerai, which, contrary to the githyanki, wanted peace and to do good, they're usually more ascetics like monks.

(This is after the end of their enslavement by the Mind Flayers)

[light pilot]

they still got brainwash anyway from their god

[shy mesa]

Hmm.

yeah.

[light pilot]

dont remember the name

[shy mesa]

They tried to go back to their life prior to their enslavement, and usually, there's a god behind all that.

[light pilot]

well all these are in BG3 😄

[shy mesa]

it gets fuzzy for me at that point though.

Well yeah. I think this is the first game to my memory that featured a Githyanki.

[light pilot]

kinda after shadowland stuff

[shy mesa]

That's why they kinda needed to tell you.

We've already had Thieflings...

Demi-humans..

What else.

I've seen some Rakshasa before.

Most of the Underdark species were portrayed at one point or the other.

off the top of my head, that's about it.

[somber pumice]

If only we could play as a Rakshasa

Imagine being that guy :3

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/3/33/Mahadi_CLB.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1200?cb=20220524002703

[obtuse dawn]

There's no way she's coming back into my party after Red came along. Shoot I was looking at a certain druid to exchange her with early into Act 1

Maybe second playthrough, Red is just too amazing with her banter. "Fuck yeah" gets me every single time.

Nah, maybe 5th playthrough

[light pilot]

😲

[obtuse dawn]

Don't think she'll ever make it back in.

Red for the win.

[light pilot]

who is this guy

[somber pumice]

Mahadi, the Master of the Wandering Emporium

No clue if he'll be in the game though, it's an illustration for a Magic the Gathering card

[shy mesa]

That's a Rakshasa, they're basically an intelligent race of feline planar invaders.

Quite ferocious too, if I recall.

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Rakshasa

Basically, most if not everything that comes from the Lower Planes is usually classified as a Fiend and is inherently evil.

and then you have planetouched humans.

The Aasimar (celestial), Tiefling (fiends) and the Genasi ( the 4 elemental planes).

[obtuse dawn]

New BG3 patch

• Penises C and D no longer clip through some githyanki clothing.

Damn glad they finally fixed that

[shy mesa]

lol

[obsidian geyser]

are those actual

patchnotes?

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah 😂

[light pilot]

meh you can barely see it in the scene

just patch xmog maybe 😄

[obtuse dawn]

I wouldn’t mind xmog

Though it’ll most likely never happen as the cutscenes would have to reflect it

Not sure the limitations on those

[lunar mirage]

Okboomers

I downloaded baldursgate

[light pilot]

d4 bad

[lunar mirage]

Tru

Patch tomorrow though

Might try it

[obtuse dawn]

Maaaan, I can't wait to hear about your review of the game

[obtuse dawn]

I really wanna know who's playing at this point now that the BG3 hype hit

Even @lunar mirage buying it proves the power of it

[sturdy field]

glhf

[shy mesa]

lol

[obtuse dawn]

Haha loved that part

[sturdy field]

yep

[shy mesa]

nice!

X)

[obtuse dawn]

I see someone is using their little mind slayer larva/parasite 😉

[shy mesa]

o.o;

It's not a worm.

it's a mind flayer larva/parasite.

[sturdy field]

that looks like a worm

[obtuse dawn]

thats exact what I put

[shy mesa]

After editing.

Don't think I didn't see that!

[sturdy field]

what edit?

[obtuse dawn]

USES MIND WORM TO OVER POWER @shy mesa

[shy mesa]

Failed.

[obtuse dawn]

my man

[shy mesa]

I'm a soulless golem.

Mind powers do nothing to me.

kek

[obtuse dawn]

It does look like a lil worm though @sturdy field is right

[sturdy field]

I could open up devtools in discord and remove the (edited) tag but that's a lot of work for nothing lol

[shy mesa]

until it eats your brain.

And replaces it.

then transforms you into a mind flayer.

[obtuse dawn]

I have zero idea

[sturdy field]

did you know there are worms/parasites in real life that take control of other bugs/little animals

[obtuse dawn]

Im using my dark jedi powers though

[shy mesa]

Yes I do.

[sturdy field]

that's fucking scary

[obtuse dawn]

dark sith

[shy mesa]

I'm an amateur entomologist.

[obtuse dawn]

the study of ents

Like it

[shy mesa]

Cordyceps fungi do it.

[obtuse dawn]

so do ents, I too am a entomologist

[shy mesa]

literally a hostile takeover.

=/

[sturdy field]

Wasn't there a worm-like thing that did it

[shy mesa]

Entomologia = the study of insects.

[shy mesa]

Yeah.

I'm not too fond of worms and parasites though, but they do exist.

[light pilot]

havent watched or played ' the last of us'?

[sturdy field]

nope

[shy mesa]

Last of Us is just a theoratical situation where humanity gets parasited with a special strain of Cordyceps.

[obtuse dawn]

I saw a documentary on a certain mushroom that could do the same. It was called "The Final Everyone"

[sturdy field]

This is Leucochloridium, a parasitic worm that invades a snail's eyestalks, where it pulsates to imitate a caterpillar. The worm then mind-controls its host out into the open for hungry birds to pluck its eyes out. In the bird’s guts the worm breeds, releasing its eggs in the bird’s feces, which are happily eaten up by another snail to complete the whole bizarre life cycle.

holy shit, nature is fucking lit

[shy mesa]

Yep, I know that one.

[light pilot]

yep but they talked about codycep a lot 😄

[shy mesa]

Mhm.

In practice though.

Cordyceps can't pierce the human skin.

[obtuse dawn]

So many things in nature scare the shit outta me

[shy mesa]

Since we have so many layers.

However.

For insects and other chitinous species.

it can just lodge itself directly onto it.

and just take root inside the insect itself.

[rare tiger]

do toxic footwraps and undulating cloak count as embellishments?

[shy mesa]

There are pictures of a spider being parasited and its whole exoskeleton being replaced by the fungi.

[shy mesa]

Toxic Footwraps does.

Not sure about cloak, but I'd wager yes.

[sturdy field]

yes cloak counts

[rare tiger]

dang

[shy mesa]

😛

[sturdy field]

it should have Unique-Embelishment (2) on the effect tooltip

[shy mesa]

spider parasited by fungi.

[sturdy field]

orders eye bleach

[obtuse dawn]

what in the fuck

[shy mesa]

"Ophiocordyceps caloceroides infecting an unknown species of Tarantula. This species of fungi is parasitic on tarantulas. At this point, the fungus has consumed the tissues of the spider and has fruiting ascocarps that produce spores. This infection kills the tarantula host. This picture was taken in the Santa Lucia Cloud Forest Reserve in Ecuador on a trip with Earlham College."

[sturdy field]

I can give you the extra @obtuse dawn

[shy mesa]

This is the perfect solution to getting rid of big spiders.

😄

[sturdy field]

what if it evolves to kill you

[obtuse dawn]

I cant unsee that

[sturdy field]

you just destroyed the human race

[obtuse dawn]

Thats why aliens haven't fucked with us

Fungus

They like, hell nah.

[shy mesa]

It can't. Like I said, it would have to go through layers of human skin.

Which it can't pierce.

:p

[sturdy field]

but imagine it evolves to do it

[obtuse dawn]

I've seen a documentary on TV that proves otherwise

[sturdy field]

that's what evolution is right, adapt to overcome difficulties

[obtuse dawn]

It was called "Last of Us"

True story.

[shy mesa]

With what ifs, we can put Paris in a bottle.

[obtuse dawn]

@light pilot favorite documentary was Last of Us

[shy mesa]

That's not a documentary, just a sci-fi horror flick.

[obtuse dawn]

Same thing ya know?

[shy mesa]

nah.

[obtuse dawn]

Tomatoe, Tomato

[shy mesa]

unless you consider Terminator as a documentary warning you against AI.

_>

[obtuse dawn]

I actually do.

[light pilot]

😲

[shy mesa]

😮‍💨

Here, another parasitic fungi picture!

This one is even better! It targets trapdoor spiders.

(only found in Brazil so far)

[obtuse dawn]

For a second it looked like it was a little goblin holding it's long white penis

BG3 style

[shy mesa]

=/

Here's another. 😄

Harvestman spider.

parasited.

[shy mesa]

https://www.npr.org/2023/01/30/1151868673/the-last-of-us-cordyceps-zombie-fungus-real

Since you seem to like that so much.

"Dentinger, who is also a fan of HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us, said that there are some major differences between how the fungus is portrayed in the show and in real life. Cordyceps does not typically infect other hosts through the mouth, for example, and the infected aren't connected to one another through a network."

"And, perhaps the most important: The fungus cannot infect humans.

"Our body temperatures are high enough that most organisms, their proteins would denature at that temperature and so they can't survive in our bodies," he said."

See?

Just gotta keep that blood boilin'

and you're safe.

[obtuse dawn]

I TOLD YOU ITS REAL

also Im checking out of this convo cause Im eating

and this shit is nightmare inducing a

love you all, good luck

[shy mesa]

XD

It's not nightmare inducing if you think about it rationally.

The way a mushroom can control an ant isn't the same as controlling a human.

We're way too complex compared to that.

[shy mesa]

I'm also eating, I don't see the problem. 😛

[versed timber]

People who want to enjoy a simple hack and slash, or people like me who just play on and off, with no expectations beyond killing stuff and cleaning dungeons

[verbal falcon]

can someone give me a real life advice

should i eat only potatoes for the rest of the week and rewatch oppenheimer on best screen in town

or life comfortable

[obtuse dawn]

All three

[obtuse dawn]

Get out.

[versed timber]

Nope

[shy mesa]

[willow ore]

I like to make funny videos and this is my recent one figured it would fit being shared here.

I think I've built up my thieving skills pretty nicely

[viscid swan]

thank goodness you have that guidance or it might be a miss

[obtuse dawn]

hahaha right

[lunar mirage]

I pirated it

Sorry old man

[obtuse dawn]

I don't care lol. I bet you'll get 10 minutes in and get bored.

Not enough action for you zoomers

[tulip coral]

bg3 is

[solid needle]

Seeing y’all talk about bg3 all the time made me buy another magic deck

So thanks

[lunar mirage]

Thats why i didnt buy it

But iam open minded to try atleast

Since everyone is saying its so great

[stuck elm]

turned based is not for me, has nothing to do with lack of action, i play osrs

[solid needle]

I think on a game it would be weird feeling

Fine for tabletops and etc

[stuck elm]

yeah

[solid needle]

If I can reach out and do the actions it’s fine, but moving a cursor back and forth and all that seems a bit dulling

[obtuse dawn]

It's all good, ya'll don't like having to use your brain to play a game.. I totally get it

Today after work

[candid edge]

It’s actually kinda nice to walk away and get a drink and get back to my friend who I’m playing with mid fight and don’t miss much lmao

[solid needle]

I already had Scam, Creativity, Living End and Omnath put together

So needed something new

[cunning valley]

@narrow gust https://www.ibuypower.com/store/rdy-fractal-rr002

This is the pc I got

[candid edge]

How’s amd nowadays

[cunning valley]

I have no clue first time getting it but I was told this is a good pc

[candid edge]

I got an nvidia Intel rig last month and I was so aggravated by the 4090 having issues for a bit idk if imma do it next time lol

Got it

My buddy has had good impression from IBP rigs sounds like they do a good job

[solid needle]

They are…ok

AMD is amazing

[cunning valley]

I’ve heard they are a really good company for “bang for your buck” and have great customer service

[solid needle]

iBuyPower has build quality issues and the most horrendous customer service in the industry

[cunning valley]

Oh really?

Oh man

I hope I don’t fk up installing my graphics card today lol

[solid needle]

Yeah it’s a clown fiesta over there

[candid edge]

Why do u have to install it on a prebuilt

[solid needle]

Linus Tech Tips does this like, undercover ordering thing

[cunning valley]

The card comes separately when shipped I guess

[solid needle]

They are always bottom in CS

[candid edge]

It’s very simple I’m a computer hardware illiterate and I can do it

[solid needle]

And shit always come dented and etc

A lot of companies do that now so the housing doesn’t break in shipment

[candid edge]

My first cyberpower rig in 2012 wouldn’t turn on and after investigating I realized they didn’t screw in the psu so during shipping that thing was bouncing around in there smashing everything lol

[solid needle]

Yeah IBP is the same quality as cyberpower

They will give you some of the best bang for your Buck

But literally everything else is bad

[candid edge]

I ordered the parts and had my friend build it this time. Marked difference. Shit actually runs cool comapred to my last 3-4 prebuilts from cyberpower

Only thing that aggravates me is being computer illiterate so when I actually had a ton of issues I had to trouble shoot it myself and RMA a part. Lord knows if I had to RMA several. Just going thru one company is simpler

[lunar mirage]

Ibuypower=matchfixers

REAL

[solid needle]

Simpler yeah

[timid walrus]

They're pretty good, swapping blows with Intel left and right. At least budget, mid and mid-thigh segment it changes weekly what the best deal is.

[solid needle]

But I’d still rather take the 15min per part than trust one of those

If it was like, Origin or one of those, that’s different

As long as it isn’t HP or Dell you’ll be fine though more than likely

[timid walrus]

BAER don't know about consumers... But for enterprise dell and hp are amazing

[solid needle]

They are literally bottom of the barrel, the parts are all proprietary and underperforming

[timid walrus]

Except for the motherboard, there aren't any proprietary parts in the dell's at BAER's work

[solid needle]

In the Alienware/XPS’s I’ve seen it’s mobo, GPU, psu, and ram

[timid walrus]

Ah ok, alienware, BAER thought the enterprise stuff

[solid needle]

No one in here would be talking about enterprise though lol

[timid walrus]

Didn't Linus just did a new alienware review and they're using less proprietary parts?

[solid needle]

Idk I haven’t watched him in a bit

[candid edge]

In my case I had a bad Intel CPU and the power adapter cable on the 4090 is so fucking huge and rigid it wouldn’t seat completely correctly with the case on. And any physical disturbance or to rig or sometimes just randomly it would cause the video monitors to cut out, fans go to 100%, and then on reboot wouldn’t detect the video card lol

But now that it’s all settled I’m p happy with it

[solid needle]

I always buy a CableMod kit

[candid edge]

Yeah I got a 90 degree power adaptor or whatever and now no issues thank god

But trying to figure out if it was hardware or drivers or which part it even is that’s causing the issue was a headache. It doing it the moment the standing desk made my rig shake abruptly was so fortuitous and gave me the answer lol

[candid edge]

What does a cable mod kit do for you exactly

[solid needle]

Looks mostly

But it also just makes it easier to plug everything in and make it clean

[candid edge]

Got it

[solid needle]

Instead of having bulky round bundles, it has a flat clean look

[obtuse dawn]

They made a fortune during the 4090 launch

[solid needle]

I imagine, that gpu was just a mess

[obtuse dawn]

I don’t think it was terrible, just the fear mongering the card was going to burn down your house

[solid needle]

No but size and etc

[obtuse dawn]

When in reality it was just people too dumb to plug in a cable

[solid needle]

And the fact it took like 4 cables

[obtuse dawn]

Oh hell yeah, so big 😂

Best investment I bought this year though

[solid needle]

I buy them for everything I build just cause of how easy it is to manage with them and how they look

[obtuse dawn]

Yeah they do a great job

Quality product for sure

[candid edge]

The size is nuts yeah
