Its a holy saturday

you cant be horny on the main

[wild nexus]

just discovered this

yea kinda useless

like bro

tf is this

wait

these are backer npc's

[twilit raft]

Yeah

There's a graveyard with every tombstone dedicated to backers

[cobalt talon]

I read all of these until like way in the story

[mental linden]

crp

is that combat role play

[cobalt talon]

computer role playing game

[mental linden]

oh

the do rpgs

[cobalt talon]

but it mostly refers to the classic style of rpg like Baldur's Gate, and not so much ARPG like Diablo

[mental linden]

rpg

[cobalt talon]

plenty of rpg subrenges

trpg, arpg, crpg

gonk ass open world rpg

[wild nexus]

grim

[cobalt talon]

Yeah just skip em all

They don’t even really add ambient storytelling

[wild nexus]

will do

also i learned i am very bad at rtwp combat

[cobalt talon]

Micromanage casters and just let the melee act like walls

I’m used to it from playing Bg1/2 as a teen, played those games to death

[wild nexus]

yea playing cipher is a bit weird

some of my spells friendly fire but some dont?

[wild nexus]

@cobalt talon its a sausage party

[cobalt talon]

Based

I swapped the chanter out for pallegina

Cipher is a bit weird ye but it ramps up big and it’s a bit unique

[twilit raft]

I played on hard in the start

Then I got one shot by a bear

Turned it to medium

[cobalt talon]

ye its not an easy game, especially the boss fights

[wild nexus]

im playing on easy

[cobalt talon]

[wild nexus]

@cobalt talon op

[carmine stirrup]

https://youtu.be/BuNHGGjgIpI?si=NZj0sgmNfoh5NKmU YT won't stop recommending this to me despite having already watched it. it's funny tho

[wild nexus]

think i might keep kana @cobalt talon

hes a nice guy

also found the hunter chick

first chick i find and its a dwarf

[cobalt talon]

a lot of people think he's one of the best companions

i just don't like the bard style classes

[wild nexus]

yea the chanting system is a bit odd

[cobalt talon]

i had her in my party for a while, the pets are pretty good early on for numerical advantage

but her dmg fell off fast

[wild nexus]

im playing on easy so it may be ok

[cobalt talon]

think i did Hard

the boss fights gave me significant trouble

[wild nexus]

also, going from floor 4 to 5 of that megadungeon

[cobalt talon]

especially the alpine dragon

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[cobalt talon]

Od Nua?

endless paths

[wild nexus]

ye

[cobalt talon]

ye its spooky, i ditched it for a long time then came back to steamroll it all

[wild nexus]

yea i did the first 4 floors and then the first pack in the 5th rolled me

i was perma paralyzed by like 8 xaurips

so imma just continue the main quest until i level some more

[cobalt talon]

make sure you seek out all the dragon fights

they're hard and fun

[wild nexus]

rn im just abusing mental binding

[cobalt talon]

even on easy the adra dragon and alpine dragon (dlc) should be tough fights

[wild nexus]

yea im just now entering the big city

im like level 4 i think, or 5

[cobalt talon]

Defiance Bay

pretty cool city

felt very BG2 like

[wild nexus]

never played bg2

[cobalt talon]

Lil bro what

One of my favourite games of all time, in its era ofc

[modest musk]

@wild nexusdragon age

after rogue trader

u play dragon age

[wild nexus]

we gon' see

[wild nexus]

sry man

i do not fuck with 2e ruleset

[cobalt talon]

THAC0 Tuesday

[wild nexus]

fuuuuuuck thac0

[wild nexus]

@cobalt talon might swap kana to my off-tank

[cobalt talon]

man its been so long since i played i barely have any idea whats going on

good that the game has a proper journal feature

pillars 2 does look very nice for an old style crpg

i love isometric buildings

they always look so good

forced perspective means they can just get the scene right

was making my main guy a berserker

i like these lore tooltips

makes it so effortless to be immersed in the world

gonna play a bit on holiday the next 2 weeks

if the 15 inch laptop screen doesnt make it too annoying

[twilit raft]

What did I do

[wild nexus]

u smell

[wild nexus]

@cobalt talon does the story start to pick up at a certain point

it might be because im fresh out of planescape torment but idk pillars seems kinda generic in comparison to that

[cobalt talon]

yeah it starts slow

but it gets better towards the end

and the DLC is where it peaks

the entire DLC was good from start to finish

but Pillars 1 start with the Dyrwood and Defiance Bay is where I took a long break, it was too much time spent on slow world building

[wild nexus]

yea theres like heaps of exposition

[cobalt talon]

defiance bay side quests are pretty good though imo

with all the factions

it's a slower very story and lore heavy game either way

[wild nexus]

every time i try to talk to an npc its a fuckin backer one

[cobalt talon]

dont talk to NPC

i think backer NPC have an indicator or different colored name or sth no?

i cant remember

[twilit raft]

green nameplate = backer npc

[wild nexus]

green?

i havent seen green

does that mean you're an npc, you have a green name

[cobalt talon]

i'll fire it up when i'm home

i'm pretty sure all those generic backer NPC look different somehow

this tooltip over NPC

that should be green for backers

and I think backers always have a first name and last name

iirc

or they're highlighted in yellow

[wild nexus]

i think i may have seen the yellow one

but its not as noticeable

i just stopped talking to named npc's and then i found that one necromancer guy in the catacombs. i looked him up and there was some npc i passed over on the way to the catacombs that had a quest to find him

[twilit raft]

Well yellow green whatever

If it isn't black it's a backer npc

[wild nexus]

roger that

[cobalt talon]

and they have weird names often like Gregorius Doofenschmirtz

[wild nexus]

yea shit is so bad

[twilit raft]

Cumsock jerkoffius

Hmm is this a Canon char

Might be mods that delete those npcs

[cobalt talon]

Yeah there’s one that makes them in-universe names

[wild nexus]

we added a new one to the list

[tawdry glacier]

I wanted to play that a couple of weeks ago and then I died after 30 min

[wild nexus]

its on sale for 10 bucks

[tawdry glacier]

it’s a good game (I think)

[wild nexus]

yea i hear its grea

t

[tawdry glacier]

I still don’t know why I died

[wild nexus]

when u die is it gg?

[tawdry glacier]

Ye

[wild nexus]

dayum

[wild nexus]

think i might bump pillars up to normal im getting the hang of combat

[cobalt talon]

It’s amazing

[twilit raft]

Never played it

Quick Google says rated as one of the best games ever made

😎

[cobalt talon]

It’s a detective storybook pretty much, but it has so many ways to tackle the story, the art is great, the voice acting is great and it has some bonafide weird shit

It’s overrated imo but it’s a special game

[wild nexus]

i heard pst was the main inspiration so i wishlisted it

the concept seems interesting as well

[potent hamlet]

Yeah I've seen some massive ravings over disco elysium. I struggled to get into it

[wild nexus]

its strictly dialogue isnt it?

kinda like a VN

[potent hamlet]

yeah, you have some health point like stuff but its more like inspiration from bg3

say good stuff and points go up, get owned and points go down

[wild nexus]

maybe thats how clayp died

his character said its so over

[silver junco]

heard good things about tyranny

might give that a whirl sometime

[wild nexus]

yea i hear the magic system is pretty cool

[tawdry glacier]

I tried to be a sleazy bastard, but apparently that was my downfall..

[cobalt talon]

too accurate roleplaying

cant ever play yourself in games

[wild nexus]

[tawdry glacier]

[wild nexus]

wrong emote

[tawdry glacier]

my bad

[modest musk]

@wild nexus less games on backlog

quit your job stop going to gym stop talking to your IRL friends

[wild nexus]

i dont talk to my irl friends already

gym keeps me from going insane tho

[foggy valve]

If you go insane you can play vidya games on your pc AND in your head

[wild nexus]

[wild nexus]

?

[wild nexus]

@cobalt talon got pallegina

[wild nexus]

traded out sagani for her and swapped kana to a ranged summoner type build

[twilit raft]

Kana is best as tank

[twilit raft]

https://i.imgur.com/znbSrJp.png

[cobalt talon]

on high difficulty you gotta min/max your party, the game is brutal then. On easy you can turn Aloth in a tank

[wild nexus]

ye probably but i feel like id rather have fighter paladin as tank over chanter

[twilit raft]

sure

kana is nice gunguy too

you gota retrain pallegina for optimal tanking

[mint sparrow]

[tawdry glacier]

[wild nexus]

ye i did

[wild nexus]

im on normal now

[cobalt talon]

i did the same

she was pretty much immortal and held aggro well

[wild nexus]

ye i like her

[cobalt talon]

i didn't like her personality

but the story surrounding her was nice

[wild nexus]

sagani was very bland to me

[cobalt talon]

yeah

Eder is my homie

and voiced by Mathew Mercer

[wild nexus]

yea the bros are pretty cool

[cobalt talon]

Aloth got a bit whiny

Durance is S-tier

[wild nexus]

hes on his sigma arc

[cobalt talon]

[cobalt talon]

ye went max int, wis and then cha

[wild nexus]

[potent hamlet]

I wish I was max charisma

[wild nexus]

tough vote between bg and pl

[cobalt talon]

im going for PL

BG3 is very close

bethesdacels in shambles btw

[potent hamlet]

I'd take PL ye

[wild nexus]

oh right

[winter vigil]

The problem I have with voting for PL is that its just a DLC

Not a full game

[wild nexus]

the story is still like roughly 20 hours long

[cobalt talon]

And higher quality than 99% of stories I’ve played in games

[potent hamlet]

I voted for it with no 2nd thought

[exotic kayak]

damn

PL over BG3?

guess I gotta cop it

[wild nexus]

its good man

[potent hamlet]

I think for strictly story its better ye

BG3 goes ham on world, gameplay, characters

[cobalt talon]

Pretty much ye

[cobalt talon]

[tawdry glacier]

only 80 bucks

[twilit raft]

cd's

who has a cdrom

[tawdry glacier]

[modest musk]

@wild nexus

bruh this game is complex as fuck

[wild nexus]

yea i think its one of those games

might want to utilize a guide

or thug it out

[modest musk]

how bad is it to thug it out

I want to make an alchemist but

just playing on slightly above normal mode

[wild nexus]

@potent hamlet help him

[potent hamlet]

I guide helps a lot

mostly because you'll get some mechanics explained to you

[modest musk]

@potent hamlet do you recall if the tutorials are helful at all

maybe inquisitor or alchemist...

[potent hamlet]

vivisectionist is meta, grenadier is fun

for alchemist

demon slayer hunter is most OP

[wild nexus]

wonder why

[potent hamlet]

[wild nexus]

what even is a vivisectionist

conceptually

[potent hamlet]

alchemist + sneak attack scaling

[wild nexus]

ah

i didnt even know there was an inquisitor

sounds pog

[modest musk]

melee alchemist that cuts people up to experimetn

studies the insides of things

[wild nexus]

badass

[modest musk]

ive never played pathfinder IRL but I have the PHB

and I always wanted to make a jekyll / hyde type alchemist

that uses the mutagens and stuff :3

[wild nexus]

:3

id prob play some kinda magus

[modest musk]

its 70% off

[wild nexus]

i own it already

[modest musk]

based looker

[potent hamlet]

[modest musk]

i cant do that

at best I can do a gruff no nonsense mike erhmantrout

[modest musk]

[wild nexus]

[modest musk]

This game seems so complex bros...

[modest musk]

[modest musk]

Act 1 is extremely sweaty

But if you can get passed the creche it's almost home free

or maybe thats just me

https://youtu.be/IcBKKGx5OuI?si=xRB7Qvd4ihn7ckjM got recommended this and it got me in the feels

[foggy valve]

[modest musk]

levels 1-4 were the scariest and then needing a back up plan in case things went south but they didnt

||orin|| gave me the most trouble because of ||her|| legendary ability

went with a 10/1/1 bard/ranger/wizard build for tav and it kind of made act 3 way too easy but

[foggy valve]

what instrument did tav play

[modest musk]

violin

he was a tiefling and it was the closet to a fiddle

[wild nexus]

did he go to georgia

[foggy valve]

sounds like an nyu type

[modest musk]

yessir

[sharp vault]

i dont think i can handle the stress of honour mode

[modest musk]

i know you can do it bro..

youre an epic gamer...

[modest musk]

im now putting mods on my game

[potent hamlet]

I just want to romance Argenta so bad bros

[modest musk]

who dat

[cobalt talon]

rogue trader waifu

[silver junco]

cant have her tho. shes in the emperors hands.

everyone knows you want the habsburg navigator

[potent hamlet]

I dont think you can romance her as female

I need to settle for funky eldeussy

[molten abyss]

dave did u start rogue trader, is it fun?

[potent hamlet]

I'm really enjoying it

[potent hamlet]

Ok status report the navigator absolutely FUCKS

Might be tied for Sis as my best companion

Tech priest dude also got hands

[potent hamlet]

This game is legit really really good, I hear it gets a bit worse/sloppier as you go through the acts but so far its amazing

[modest musk]

will i sink in bg3 hours

[potent hamlet]

Cant say for certain, I'm only in Act 2/5

The combat and builds might be on the more simple side so you could struggle to find replay value there but there are a lot of different paths to take and the companions are great so far

[molten abyss]

And its 40k

[potent hamlet]

Bros I need people to play the game and enjoy it so I can share memes with them

The title was each companions dance move of choice

Yee the Charleston basically

[potent hamlet]

I thought I'd like her more than I do, she's too prim and snooty

Don't get me wrong she's a good companion and well written but I actively dislike her which is a good thing I guess

Not to mention she's bullshit OP

[wild nexus]

sounds good to me

[potent hamlet]

Heinrix is low key a boy

But I fucking love Argenta and yrilet

[wild nexus]

i heard the first companion is really cool

Abelard is 100% gigachad

Getting him to introduce you to people never gets old

I saw a great meme about the alignments

For dogmatic, heretical and iconoclast

Any time I can make a companion do something I do it

@potent hamlet post golden dice

[potent hamlet]

I don't know what you mean

[sharp vault]

okay..

honor mode..

[sharp vault]

I think instead of honor mode

I will just play the hardest settings

[wild nexus]

just do honor mode

[potent hamlet]

No honor...

[twilit raft]

Honorableless wretch...

[sharp vault]

this is harder than honor fr..

honor doesnt make things harder than tactician it just means you have to nail it the first time... I'd rather do the harder game but being allowed to wipe and go agane..

[twilit raft]

Hide the interface

Knowledge is chesting

[modest musk]

You don't get the legendary actions on custkm mode

Custom *

Only honor mode

[sharp vault]

hec

this is true

my game is borked anyway and I cba'd fixing

the roll UI would not appear

so I couldnt like.. play

[modest musk]

But if you die in honor mode it's not like your save is deleted it let's you switch to custom with the legendary actions

[sharp vault]

oh rly

[modest musk]

yeh

so you could start in honor mode and immediately die

[sharp vault]

what else changes

[modest musk]

nothing you just can't get the achievement or dice

[sharp vault]

icic

bit malding that the game just isnt working lol

thought it was mods but nop

[modest musk]

that's really weird tbh

clean install?

[sharp vault]

guess ill have to

just not the fastest internets

aight i fixed it

deleted this folder which contains settings files and such
https://puu.sh/JXsrv/5e693661eb.png

[modest musk]

we're so back baby

[sharp vault]

okay.

we honormode.

@modest musk how much "help" did you use

did you follow any guides

did you just natty it up

[modest musk]

I looked at the bg3 wiki to see what bards got on level up

And then I also would send a party member alone ahead sometimes to examine bosses to see what their actions did

As long as 1 player character is alive you can always rez everyone

[sharp vault]

hm

[modest musk]

I definitely recommend doing as much exploring and minimal fighting as possible in act 1 till you're level 4

it's so dicey

[sharp vault]

this is going to really screw with my 100% tendencies

[modest musk]

you can still 100%

just do things in a safe order and always have an escape plan

Also if you use the friends cantrip don't be around when it ends lol

[sharp vault]

I was planning to use that..

[modest musk]

I used it a ton

I learned the hard way

Kahga immediately turned hostile after I loitered after a conversation cause friends added

Then I had to send all my team away as far as I could to leave combat with the entire grove chasing me

Had me sweating more than orin tbh

[sharp vault]

alright we off the nautiloid

not sure what I do with companions

do they have their racial bonuses? if not, would hirelings be better, technically?

[modest musk]

ya all companions and hirelings have racial bonuses

i dont think the racials matter that much unless youre going for osmething specific

[sharp vault]

im playing a dumbass halfling

because its stronger than dragonborn my beloved

[modest musk]

thatll keep you safe at least from those disgusting crit 1s

[potent hamlet]

Abelard, please tell Doolb he's a sweaty nerd

[modest musk]

@sharp vault are you winning son

@potent hamlet nobody but nerds plays 40k

[sharp vault]

doing alright

level 3 and a bit

havent done my first long rest yet

got karlach

looking into builds

[modest musk]

if you want a really guaranteed build do a bard

i would also include a tb thrower

but end game bard just locks down every boss it kind of made it too easy xd

[wild nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/henry-cavill-gif-22574298

tell that to henry

[modest musk]

I'll say it to his face

[sharp vault]

this is whats so rough for me

I like minmaxing

but it feels idiotic doing it all from scratch/solo instead of researching

but then if you do the research

you're just overpowered

and its easy

and then whats the point

my brain cant decide what the play is there

[modest musk]

Can you min max a sub optinal build

[sharp vault]

No that's pepega

This is kinda why I wanted to play the ultra hard mode..

On which you can enable honour mode so..

Or do you not get the achievement if you do custom honour mode with harder settings? I doubt it ig

But then who gives a fuck about the achievement that no one can see that I have

[tawdry glacier]

Don’t mods disable achievements?

[sharp vault]

Not if you install the achievement enabler mod

All the more reason the achievement means nothing

(custom honour mode is not a mod it's literally just using the new custom difficulty settings and enabling single save)

[wild nexus]

bg3 needs a fast 2x speed mode or somethin and i would probably play again

[tawdry glacier]

oh I didn’t realize they released something like that

[modest musk]

You only get achievement though doing normie honor mode

If you have a mod to allow achievements tho you can probably do base honor mode with difficult mods on top of it

[sharp vault]

Meh..

[modest musk]

Fwiw once I had gale kill himself at the brain stem for the dice I didn't want to risk it that close

[sharp vault]

Wait that works?

[modest musk]

Only during act 3

So you only skip 1 boss

But I really didn't wanna lose it to a bad roll or anything thar close lpl

[wild nexus]

based

what if you do it at act 2

[sharp vault]

Doesn't work I checked

[modest musk]

ya just counts as a game over

[wild nexus]

rip

[modest musk]

@sharp vault were you using any difficulty mods or nah

[sharp vault]

n

[modest musk]

im lookin for good ones

[sharp vault]

tactician plus is the one i know of

@potent hamlet

[potent hamlet]

Abelard once again being unfathomably based

[odd oar]

Just got a dnd starter set as a late xmas present

Now for someone to play with

[silver junco]

found a bg3 bug. I hold personed Nere the trapped drow before he could kill a gnome/start his cutscene. As soon as I attacked him he started his cutscene over and over. I then just killed him in the one action in between the scene by shooting at him over and over again with laezel. then the oathbreaker knight came and called me a cnt for attacking innocents

[modest musk]

rekt!!

[silver junco]

Was allowed to smuggle out and raise the Gith egg

Me and Laezel will be good parents

[modest musk]

laezel is my wife

[tawdry glacier]

Since when can you raise the gith egg

[cobalt talon]

you can't raise it yourself

but you can raise it through other means

unless they patched a new questline in

[silver junco]

ye found that out aswell

[cobalt talon]

i've seen 2 ways that story ends

and none of them are good

so i hope there are more outcomes

[modest musk]

thers a good end in the new epilogue

||if you get laezel to see vlaakith is psycho and she goes with orpheus to fight her, she raises the gith egg as a balanced githyanki that portrays both githzerai and githyanki ideals more or less and lets him choose what he wants to do||

||same thing more or less happens if she doesnt go with orpheus||

@sharp vault u get dice yet

[cobalt talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuEzCOCvu38

cohh thinks it's as good as Wrath of the Righteous

but not better

[wild nexus]

@potent hamlet thoughts?

[potent hamlet]

It's different

Both are incredibly good games

Rogue Trader needs a few more patches though

[wild nexus]

i cant wait to order abelard to cut off someones balls

[potent hamlet]

Unironically the best part of the game

Making people introduce you

When dabbi comes back I hope we're all ready to get Abelard to slap him in the face

[wild nexus]

[exotic kayak]

holup

like actually?

[wild nexus]

idk its a meme

but potentially

[exotic kayak]

@potent hamlet can u confirm

[potent hamlet]

A senechal does what a lord captain requires

There's a point where he's in some psychic trance, you can snap him out of it by reminding him that it's illegal for a naval officer to be under xenos influence

[wild nexus]

legend

[twilit raft]

Madman actually gone for a day

[sharp vault]

I was today years old when I discovered you can just throw without being raged @modest musk

[modest musk]

my eldritch knight thrower completely carried my run

[sharp vault]

holy heck scary moment @modest musk

i popped iron flask somewhere in underdark

and at the exact same time

the bulette rolls up

had to fight both at once

[modest musk]

What the

That is scary I assume you made it out alive

[sharp vault]

i did because I overprepped for spectator by using Glut to animate spores one of the minotaurs i killed

so I had 2 very strong companions

just about to ding 5

[modest musk]

the real gamer move is to have glut animate the bulette

have you done any bosses yet or gonna hit 5 and start pwning them

[sharp vault]

Haven't hit Ethel yet

What other bosses in act 1

[tawdry glacier]

githyanki patrol

[sharp vault]

Oh I had laezel with me

[modest musk]

the gith at the monastery, ethel, robot at top of tower in underdark, nere at end of duergar zone i forget the name of

[potent hamlet]

big spider kinda counts I guess?

grymforge golem

[sharp vault]

Ye haven't done any. I'll see if I can get level 6 without doing any of em but I suppose that's unlikely

[modest musk]

oh ya spider counts

i forgot about her

golem too

[modest musk]

you should be able to do spider and ethel not too bad at 5

[sharp vault]

But if I can do them on 6..

But idk where I'll get the xp

[modest musk]

have you fully explored the monastery area?

going there and walking around, killing drunk kobolds, that gives a fair amount of xp

[sharp vault]

I haven't even gone there yet

Haven't done most of underdark

[modest musk]

go kill the spider

its gamin time

[sharp vault]

@modest musk minor illusion disappears after like 2 sec

its meant to last 10 turns which is quite a bit of seconds

[wild nexus]

each turn is 6 seconds

🤓

[modest musk]

What you using it for

[sharp vault]

gathering up the duergar before nere so I can wreck them

as i dont think I can take on him + duergar

ok im a genius god player

[modest musk]

What'd you do

I just side with the druegar every time lole

[sharp vault]

I used minor illusion to gather up the duergar separately, destroyed them with only minor difficulties

then freed nere, convinced him to free the gnomes, then tossed him in the lava where he burned to death and since the lava is doing damage to him, I didnt have to deal with his legendary action at all

im going for a no worm, fully based goodguy best ending playthru on top of honour mode

now im level 5.6 and im not sure what to do

I am scared of Grym

even though there are some good cheese strats

[potent hamlet]

Do you have any sources of transforming into something heavy

hit em with the off the top rope cheese

[modest musk]

i had to cheese grym cause my normal plan spiraled out of control fast

did you ever do spidedr or ethel?

[sharp vault]

nop, saving them for level 6

[modest musk]

i think ur gonna absolutely cream them at 6

i did ethel at 5 and rocked h er too hard so i didnt even get hag hair

[sharp vault]

suits me fine

[modest musk]

by far hardest fight in act 1 is the inquisitor at the creche tho

[potent hamlet]

That fight is obscenely rippy

[modest musk]

i made a githyanki tho i kind of really liek them now

[tawdry glacier]

githyankis are based

[wild nexus]

githzerai cooler

[sharp vault]

idk what to do with builds etc..

got my fire sorc + tb throw in myself and karlach

and a cleric support

what should the last one be

I also wanna use gale and wyll but idk.

[wild nexus]

bard

or control wiz

[sharp vault]

level 6 gang

[tawdry glacier]

I second bard

[sharp vault]

i just hate bards

[tawdry glacier]

why would you say that

[wild nexus]

im not a fan but they are busted

[tawdry glacier]

bard with the mystic scroundrel ring and arcane acuity helm is pretty good and fun

[modest musk]

it's broken as fuck

[modest musk]

honestly with a tb throw and a life cleric anything else is just fun

[sharp vault]

light cleric seems better but ye point stands ofc

I dont think it like

solocarries though

my sorc will come online level 7 thouigh

and then I have two carries

I think having a rogue is nice just for thieving n shi

[modest musk]

i went life just for max security but it turned into a lawn mower anyway with light orb gear and whatever the orb spell is

[sharp vault]

hag down

[sharp vault]

lol

I one-rounded the matriarch

I am level 6.5 heading towards the creche

[molten abyss]

Im scared to go to goblin camp

[modest musk]

🫡

theres no real scary fights in act 2 especially if you talk no jutsu the bosses

[molten abyss]

almost died

[modest musk]

@sharp vault wheres my daily update

[sharp vault]

[silver junco]

[molten abyss]

[wild nexus]

[molten abyss]

[wild nexus]

[molten abyss]

azor convinced me to do it

Its gonna be great

i almost died twice so far

[sharp vault]

i hate the idea of long resting

so I try to do it as little as possible
