Can Monster Prom let Miranda be something other than a political caricature for five minutes

Holding out hope that the writing in veilguard will get more bearable but rook saying to lucanis that it's "not nice that Spite hurt him" and he "shouldn't accept that it’s fine bc it wouldn't be ok if a person did that" like. That is a demon. Built off a single emotion called SPITE. Rook I am finding it really hard to believe that u have lived in thedas for more than 30 seconds.

been obsessed with astarion ever since bg3 came out. wanted to play it (in large part) for astarion. admired astarion from afar for months in an non-spoiler free fashion. finally got a ps5 and bg3 with the full intention to romance astarion… cracked as soon as i saw the option to romance shadowheart.

If you're still doing the fake fic meme?

post-canon, it's not necrophilia if the fierce corpse consents, developing relationship, jc has two h--

Oooh, anon, if Jiang Cheng has two hands, he can h*ld h*nds with both Wen siblings at the same time!!

While subduing the Jin Elders at Jinlintai, Jiang Cheng finds Wen Qing stashed in a little room, but, unfortunately, this time she's kind of dead—the Jin did actually execute her. But they also gave her body to Xue Yang for experimentation, and so there's now one more sentient fierce corpse wandering the earth. She's very unhappy about the situation but she's had a lot of time to think about how to fix it, and, yep, once again, it's dual cultivation. Jiang-zongzhu has a very strong core and a vested interest in Wen Qing reducing the number of fierce corpses. They can make this work.

Of course, this creates a new problem for Jiang Cheng, because he can't fuck without catching feelings, and if it doesn't work in a year's time, Wen Qing has made him promise to put her to rest. And if it does, she wants her brother to be taken care of, too...

Of my 2% capacity to be attracted to anyone, my type is like 90% women, 5% pretty men and 5% men you would swear are super fucking manly, and never questioned being straight and cis, but are now suddenly *stressed* that they can't figure out why their attraction to me [fully socially interpreted as a woman and labelled that way up until relatively recently] feels incredibly fucking gay

DOS2 combat gets easier once you realise that it's not just about getting enemies' HP to 0, but you need to do everything in your power so that enemy NPCs don't get to do anything when it's their turn.

When they have no armour at all, neither physical nor magic, they're an easy target, because there's a wide variety of ways to stop them - knockdown, stun, charm, freeze, sleep, petrification, etc.

I've learned that there's often no point spreading the damage between physical and magic if you can help it, because it just makes chewing through both kinds of armour take longer (unless you have to, of course).

When they have much less physical armour than magic, then you wear them down with physical attacks, until they have no physical armour left, then knock them down or turn them into a chicken. Atrophy can be helpful against melee combatants, but not 100% reliable.

When they have much less magic armour than physical, you zap them with magic until there's no magic armour left, then freeze them, or stun, or petrify, or charm, or put them to sleep, etc. Plenty of options there.

And when they also have the Perseverance talent (the most annoying one ever), so you don't want to stun them or knock them down, because the talent makes their physical and magic armour regenerate after most disabling statuses, guess what - IT'S CHICKEN TIME! THE CHICKEN CLAW SPELL STILL WORKS! Oh, the chicken form has timed out? MORE CHICKEN TIME! Learn Chicken Claw. And always carry some back up Chicken Claw scrolls. Not even the biggest dragon or the meanest demon can hurt you when it's a chicken. 👍🐔

[acourtofquestions]

Without spoiling I have a question for sanity’s sake so I can either be comforted or at least prepared

[capt-sievert]

Ok so as much as I'm obsessing over I have no mouth and I must scream at the moment, I must admit... It's kinda ass not gonna lie.

The writing is incredibly flawed, the various versions are confusing, the characters are one dimensional and there's no consistency whatsoever. It was written in a single night and it shows. A lot.

The concept is awesome, I mean, a computer built for war gains consciousness and resents its creator to the point of jealousy, exterminating the human race and torturing the last 5 survivors as personal jubilation is metal as fuck and it has so much potential, but it seemed... Wasted, I guess? It basically got chalked up to "main character hates female counterpart and then kills everyone."

It's pretty much trash in my opinion

[yappingmil]

Mmm having another like venting in my head but knowing the second im done venting im gonna be like you didnt mean that tho moment

[comixandco]

there’s an alternate universe out there where when you reach the sanctum in totk when “zelda” does her little cutscene she ends it by throwing a dagger at you and it whistles just past link’s head as he reacts in shock before readying himself for battle and then you regain control of him as a boss bar appears at the top of the screen that reads “Puppet Zelda, Twisted Memory”

and Link is forced to fight the one he swore he would protect and has been chasing after the entire game, and instead of a sage offering him warnings or encouragement the Zelda belittles him and accuses him of abandoning her and failing her and leaving her to die

and her attacks at the beginning of the fight are those bursts of bright light and the daggers but as you whittle down her health and begin stage two the facade begins to slip and the light bursts are replaced with darkness and she oozes gloom wherever she moves and her movements become more stiff and skeletal and broken

and then once you’ve defeated her she rises into the air all broken and limp but still looking at you and says that it doesn’t matter that she wasn’t zelda because zelda is still gone, trapped in the past with no way to come home she could be burried anywhere in hyrule, and she summons a dark bow of light and draws it back as a red-purple bulging mass begins to form at the arrow tip

and that’s when the sages turn up, sidon unleashing a wave that pushes the bow aside, tulin firing an arrow that riju uses to cast down lightning, and yunobo at link’s side, and they all have their own line of dialogue that boils down to ‘don’t worry link, there’s no way that’s zelda, she would never say those horrible things, and we know she’s still out there because you heard her true voice, so don’t lose hope!’

and then zelda dissolves into gloom with a fit of that uncanny laughter and that’s when that megamind-style ganondorf head appears and makes his whole speech about how they have no idea who he is or was and you get his memory and that he has waited all his imprisonment to battle against link and prove that he is the strongest in hyrule, ‘and then you will fall, link, as rauru and zelda did, knowing that hyrule falls with you. Come to the Depths beneath this wretched castle, and meet your fate, o destined hero.’

and then the zelda-gloom melts away into a heart, and the sages have that post-battle talk about re-grouping at lookout landing, and tell link not to do anything rash because they will find the real zelda together

Good evening to everyone except the person who decided to have Haru disappear from the home screen after finishing the game

[quibbs126]

Me: stop making new Fantasy Life saves, you never get farther than the first story quest (other than the Prologue), you’ve practically memorized it and you get sick of it, just play a save you already have

Also me: I’mma make a new character to play as!

[the-physicality]

i do think, aside from mercury bias, if bg had been in all season she would have been all wnba, first or at least second. i think people undervalue her because of the rebounding but she is 1000% the worst officiated player in the league, on both sides of the court. so the fact that she's been able to have the performance that she had is incredible, and that she didn't get the acknowledgment really just underscores how much people take what she does for granted.

Obligatory disclaimer that I don't think this is gospel or that the complaints aren't valid bc they are and I will probably continue to complain myself, this is just me spitting into the void a few minutes after waking up while I wait for my coffee to be done. But. I sometimes suspect that a lot of people who complain about the quality of cultural media these days, e.g. movies and books etc, need to just like. Learn how to find the good shit. Is the sequel-and-rebootification bad for film culture as a whole? Yes obviously. Is the tiktokization of a lot of pop music bad for music culture as a whole? Obviously yes. However. Have you considered watching/listening to/reading something that wasn't written in a year starting with a 20? Has it occurred to you that maybe ""booktok"" is not only whatever the first person you see when you search #booktok on the app says? And that there are many people talking about all kind of excellent new releases that show there are plenty of books with literary merit still being written? Published even?

Perfectly valid complaint to be angry about the way arts and media have devolved into Content but I also think some of you are just bad at finding new stuff so you keep reconsuming the same things over and over and talking about how nothing meaningful has ever been made in the last decade.
