Look on my works Sim Mayor and

So traditional it’s like a Norman Rockwell painting.

Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap is a damn solid album.

I’m definitely using my parasite powers, I’ll have to look for the counterspell there, I’m sorta low on worms at the moment though.

Only works if you’re in melee range already and they cast which I haven’t seen a lot of. Advantage against concentration could be good but I have plenty of ways to break that. Counterspell stops the spell from occuring at all from across the room.

Haha, well the Berserker is rolling with the Returning Pike so I think I got that part. 4 Gnome Barbs sounds hilarious, maybe I’m not in such bad shape if I’m all weapon damage and heals.

Yeah, totally, I just meant she stayed a relatively pure cleric. Trickery domain sucks and I wanted the fire/radiant AoE.

Interesting idea for Lae’zel.

For the rest I guess that depends on whether this is a “strong group” without someone to deflect spells. And for the planning I’m sorta worried that I’m going to diverge a lot since the first party isn’t evil, but at the same time it’s not like the main quest changes a lot (AFAIK)

I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I recognize Mizora!

Definitely agree. Had a couple of them and loved some of the ideas (touchpad sticks, gyro to mouse aim, all of the Steam Input flexibility) but they never really eclipsed my rechargeable Dualshocks in terms of feeling right. Taking some of the Deck’s refinements and giving it another spin is welcome.

Nah man, BG3’s release was a phenomenon. I had people who are barely gamers casually start talking about D&D party dynamics and how nice it was to have a game focused at adults. I don’t think Larian was even prepared for it to be such a slam dunk.

I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.

Yeah, my parents are still basically the same liberal Democrats they were when I was a kid. Meanwhile I’ve gone farther left and the rest of the family mutated into a virulent strain of fascist.

I had no idea that this was coming out, and it sort of makes me want a PS5… And then I check the price and I think I can wait a couple of years until it’s on PC.

Seriously. I want a personal HUD for navigation and reminders that also corrects my vision (like normal glasses), not to become a walking surveillance device / info mine.

In a weird way this makes Linux a microkernel. They’re “macro” but isolated and cooperative. Coolest patch set I’ve read about in a while.

Yeah, I also have this question. I loved playing 1 and 2 co-op but 3 and pre-sequel didn’t hold my attention at all. I’m happy to see good reviews but I’d like to hear a review from someone that doesn’t lose their access if they pan it…

You are getting this from Xwayland, so you’re running a rootless X server in the background. It’s nice that it works seamlessly, but it’s not really Wayland doing anything but managing the X window.

Agreed. It’s one thing if it’s climate change or something where we at least need to put a plan out there even if there’s zero chance of it happening, but for basic common sense stuff like this don’t bother. If we ever get back to trying to make average American lives better with the government, this is low hanging fruit.

I don’t have experience with MSI recently, but I’d be really surprised if you couldn’t flash a new BIOS off the system partition or FAT32 USB. You may not be able to update from Linux directly, but almost all motherboards I’ve seen support doing it from the BIOS interface.
