Hi, hope you are doing well :) I was rereading the T$$ chapter Punching Bags and Sahota's threats got me wondering if he had ever actually tortured anyone or does Vic usually take that job if needed? Thank you for all the writing, it's incredible!

Hi, thanks for the ask!

Although Sahota has technically tortured others before, the threats he makes in that chapter are exaggerated. Partly because at that point, it's the first time in years he's been given power over another person (or group of people) like this, and he's feeling things out in the way he's been taught, and partly because he's certain that will be the outcome if Benji (or anyone else) openly defies or betrays Vic.

Sahota and Vic's mission success largely depends on them getting in and out of a dangerous situation as quickly as possible. Sometimes that means grabbing a guard and breaking a few fingers, a strategy that's not exactly reliable, but they'll go there as a last resort. They've never taken a captive long-term, (at least Sahota hasn't) but Sahota has firsthand experience as a victim in that sort of situation, so his threats (and fears) aren't unfounded

Thanks for reading!

volunteered for the first workshop in my creative writing class this semester not because i actually am that desperate for peer review but because i want to establish to this class that i am a good writer as quickly as possible. so now this weekend's project is to write a poem that's going to physically explode people's heads

Katie was a kid I guess she hid her thoughts from everyone Went to school at eight, she was never late Didn't know the meaning of fun Every night Katie prayed to God above But her daddy gave her everything but love She woke up one day, said: "I'm on my way" Her mummy read the letter, it did say: "I'm on my way, I'm on my way"

vince's body type is “every joint cracks like he's a fckn glowstick when he stands up or sits down”

How do you know? Why do you say that like he’s destroyed planets before? Also “flavored”? Which ones of you are licking his glowing fist?

Enjoying BG3 except for one thing... I'm a WASD laptop gamer!

Movement with the vanilla settings is a total nightmare. Even broke out my mouse which I haven't had to do since Detroit: Become Human and it's still... yikes. I just want my preferred over the shoulder POV, instead of worrying about moving my Tav and the camera at the same time. A weirdly stressful and disorienting way to play especially in tight spaces since it's possible to take the camera reaaaally far from your party. It's fine in combat mode but when walking around it's... not ideal. Kind of feels like my entire party is drunk, all the time.

Which, my Tav accidentally got drunk in the middle of a fight because we're still figuring out the broad strokes. Probably not out of character.

Need to spend some time thoughtfully rekeying to be intuitive or look around to see if there's a good WASD mod (and if so, I have to figure out how to mod!). I need to fiddle with my graphics settings as well; character creation kept rapidly lowering the quality when zoomed in to the face (you know, the most important part for detail work) and I know my graphics card can handle anything this game can throw at it. That one's probably on me being too excited to play to actually ruminate over my gfx settings, so I'm less concerned about it.

Other thoughts so far: voice acting is delightful, love the designs, love that the game let me start as nonbinary, feels DAO-adjacent in a great way.

that worst finale poll is feeding me so well. I love reading about trainwrecks in shows I've never watched and going 'wow, really dodged a bullet there!' it's like the inverse of how bad it feels to see spoilers for shows you like.
