@pagan_hoetry He's right, and what's more, you could kill someone else. This isn't cute.

@daringlucile I had a 2006 Corolla that I bought used in 2011-ish. It had, if I recall, about 60,000 miles on it when I bought it. It was $5,000, or about $7,300 in 2026 dollars. These prices for the same car with more than twice the miles, 15 years later, are insane.

i’m sorry, but paying $7,000 whole american dollars for a 20 year old car with 200,000 miles on it is fucking INSANE

@1ssve I was a sophomore in college in 2008 and took a summer job working for just above minimum wage in the stockroom at Target, picking items and hauling boxes. Everyone there but me had a four year degree. Yeah. It was bad.

Was the 08 recession worse than now ? I was a kid then so I’m asking adults

@ghaikposting Oh interesting! Were I Larian I think I'd have written a third option that appeals to his intellect. "It makes more logical sense to stay together because we have the best chance of survival. We're weaker alone, and I'm getting results."

@Damaia These are the two options ! Gale is kind but at the end of the day he will do anything to survive

Gale is actually the funniest companion to keep around on an evil run

@durgedorian I keep my inventory tidy and cleaned out and my organization scheme standardized across all of my playthroughs because I have way too many characters going. Things I may use later go in the camp chest. Just like in real life: gear I can't find is gear I can't use.

@durgedorian Left to right top row: Camp supplies, then keys, then potion ingredients, then roll-top backpack for potions, then small pouch for scrolls, then fold-over backpack for orange items. Then health and haste potions, then revival scrolls, then extra apparel items/weapons.

im very curious as to how everyone organizes their inventory when playing this is mine (explanation below)

@ghaikposting Good to know. Do you have to lie to Gale and say you'll change or something? I've never gotten that dialogue because embrace durge.

@Damaia You can essentially have everyone except Wyll, Karlach and Halsin ! Gale wants to leave but you can persuade him to stay. You can still recruit Jaheira and Minsc if you don't kill Jaheira at Last Light Inn but if you're embrace durge they will leave the party and fight you later

@1ssve I ignore those. I get too many of them, and if they're not followed by a question or request I don't even respond anymore.

I can’t stand when someone types “hello” on Microsoft teams and waits for a response. Please just type out what you want in the first message.

@ancuning Sometimes one, sometimes the other. I also enjoy "subtly wrong" like my embrace durge Telan, who's just kind of a pale, unremarkable half elf but has black eyes like a shark.

another dark urge related question do you prefer it when they “look harmless” so it’s like bhaal really wanted them to blend in or do you make them look threatening on purpose like i guess bhaal was feeling extra when he made them or something

@ancuning Shadowheart for resist, Minthara for embrace.

which romance do you guys think hits harder when you’re playing as the dark urge

The dryer lint advice you see all over Pinterest is actively bad for birds. It sounds nice, save the lint, leave it in the yard, watch the birds use it for nests. But Audubon, US Fish & Wildlife, the Cornell Lab, and most wildlife rehabbers all advise against it now, and the reasons add up fast. Lint loses its structure when it gets wet. A nest lined with dryer lint holds up fine in dry weather, but the first heavy rain collapses the whole nest. Eggs and chicks fall through the nest and likely don't survive. Lint also carries with it the chemical signature of your laundry. Detergent residue, fabric softener, dryer sheet compounds, fragrance oils, and dye all end up concentrated in the fibers you're pulling out of the trap. Even "free and clear" detergents leave trace chemicals that are fine on adult human skin but rough on a 4-gram baby bird. Lint is mostly microplastic. Most modern clothing is polyester, nylon, acrylic, or some blend. The lint trap collects shredded synthetic fibers. Lining a nest with that is lining a nest with plastic. Sadly, this folksy bird advice from a decade ago hasn't aged well. The new advice is closer to: provide nothing artificial, and let the natural materials in your yard do the work.

@crampell Or private clubs/country clubs.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

@CobrastanGuy Mortgage, student loans, car payment...

at some point i do kinda wonder what exactly people are doing with their money

@fuyuto64 Wisconsin, where I'm from, is known for producing beer and cheese.

「そういえば、アメリカ合衆国の州についてよくよく考えたことがない」と思って自分の中の印象や知ってる事を地図に当てはめてみた。ものすごく正直に。 東海岸の方は大きさばらばら過ぎるので別で作る オクラホマ州の出っ張ってるところって何なの？

@matrcnofravens Take Counterspell and Counterspell them back. Or cast a cantrip with your action and then Quickened Spell on your bonus action. Or, if all else fails, spam annoying 1st/2nd level garbage and big guns after they're out of Counterspells.

i’m going to KILL MYSELF!!! second in initiative and all i can do r spells and i didn’t take subtle spell for metamagic and my dm is just gonna counterspell me every time 😭😭😭💔💔💔

@To3AUBE @WeirdMedieval Unlikely. It was found in a bog weighed down with stones with several stab holes in it.

@WeirdMedieval it could be just a curtain/tablecloth for all we know

would have felt so good to have a stylish houndstooth cloak in 300 bc

@GeauxGabrielle My grandmother had five children and utterly lost interest in each of them in turn when they hit about four years old. Did the bare minimum to feed and clothe them but that was it. Same with us grandkids. Once we weren't babies/toddlers we were nothing.

My mother FOR SURE did not think past the "i want a fat squishy cute baby." She completely abandoned parenthood once I became probably 11 or 12. Max 13.

@kanashikiarasa Yes, from Eberron. There is also a version in Monsters of the Multiverse. Our campaign was set in Sigil, so creatures from all over the multiverse were there.

@Damaia おー！チェンジリング！エベロンのキャラですよね！楽しそうです！ 他次元の固有種族を出す時はどうやって別次元に行ったのか考えるのも楽しいですよね！

海外のご友人様！ D&Dをプレイしてますか！？ 私は日本でD&Dをプレイしてます！ 変わった種族で！ あなたの国では冒険の仲間にスリクリーンやプラズモイドやロクソドンやミノタウロスは含まれてますか？ 日本語に翻訳はされてませんが、それらの種族が私は大好きです！ あとダークサン次元が好きです

@MUKIDEZA2 My grandmother told me when I was a child that my father's motto was, "You have to be tough if you're going to be stupid."

アメリカにも「座右の銘」ってあるのかな？ 自分は「夢無き者に成功無し」
