Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 again, after a several month hiatus from it. But this time I’m doing Honour Mode for the first time, currently working through Act I.

It’s tough! Especially early game. I decided for some hard-to-kill character builds, to try to avoid team wipes.

Playing as Gale, target build is Drac Sorc (Cold) 1, Abj Wiz 11, specced on INT. Idea is to get utility cantrips, scales, and Armor of Ag from sorcerer, everything else goes into making Gale an Arcane Ward tank. He sprints into melee combat, the enemies kill themselves on the Armor of Ag retaliation when they hit him, rinse and repeat as much as needed.

Also having Karlach be the BarBearian, taking half damage from everything as she rages, and healing with that heal mace you pick up in Act 1 every time she clocks someone with it. It’s working well so far, hopefully it stays viable as the game goes on.

Love the all-handedness inclusivity of having two doorknobs.

Ambidextrous people, rejoice! You now have a doorknob for every mood and situation!

I personally find it hilarious when people have slanderous conversations en español, thinking that none of the non-hispanic people in the vicinity understand them.

Están equivocados. Lo aprendí como segunda lengua cuando mi hermano se casó, y agregamos venezolanos a la familia lol.

It’s adorable that someone world think that the fourth most widely-spoken language on the planet is a secret code that no one in public would possibly have a hope of comprehending 😆

I think the funniest statistic of all is that Lloyd’s yearly tips are not divisible by 5. And to my knowledge, you can’t tip him anything other than 5 credits per tipping occurrence, unless you have a smaller amount.

So at least one dwarf (and possibly several) tipped Lloyd the last 1 to 4 credits they had lol

My personal target is 105% of the performing mark, when I’m in a churn and earn job somewhere that I don’t want to promote.

That wiggle room is enough to keep me above the performing mark if there are any productivity impactors outside of my control that my company refuses to adjust for (that has happened to me in jobs before), and it also keeps me off of bottom-performer lists when layoffs roll through. And it’s barely more than the bare minimum. Win / win / win.

Do these people even read their own books?

No. I thought that was pretty obvious.

You have dug too greedily and too deep, and you have awoken the Balrant.

You’re welcome! Though I’m genuinely bummed that it’s not 100% fully working for you.

One of the great things about the Deck is that we have essentially and functionally the same hardware and OS for our systems, so I was hoping that things like this just work the same for everyone… we don’t have the challenges of the rest of the PC community, where every single person is running a different configuration of parts. 🙂

I’m sorry to hear that you were having issues setting up the docking script!

Without seeing what you were doing, it’s kind of tough to know where the issue was. I know I personally don’t have to change anything with the resolution properties on mine to make it work, it still is set to Default for me. It’s my correct resolution so I don’t have to scroll anywhere, everything is exactly where it is in native (in fact I’m using it right now to access Firefox and be on Lemmy 🤗 )

Were you able to change the height and width numbers in the script to match your monitor? The example I posted above is what I use for my 2560 x 1440 monitor, but you’ll get a weird result if your resolution is something different and you don’t change it.

If your dad went out for cigarettes one day and didn’t return, he didn’t abandon your family.

He was actually kidnapped and fed to the AI so that it could extract the dad joke essence, to be able to do stuff like this.

Also, never answer the question, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” with anything that sounds like an admission. They’re fishing and looking to have you confess to a traffic violation.

The honest answer is “No, I’m not sure why you pulled me over,” because it’s true. There are a million motivations they might have come up with to pull you over, and you’re neither psychic or telepathic.

Update notes were like an encyclopedia of minor bug fixes and minor feature changes for things I’d never encountered or seen.

I’m like, sure I guess ¯\(ツ)/¯ and life goes on

Already done.

Getting flu and covid jabbed is just an October tradition at this point.

I’ve used it before when playing non-docked (otherwise I have a Blue yeti condenser mic hooked up into my docking hub).

The people I was playing with said I sounded good and clear. I’ve used it both with Discord and with Steam voice chat and I’ve never had an issue.

EDIT: I saw your post about issues with it when using wired headphones. That very well may be, but I can tell you it works fine with Bluetooth headphones (I alternate on a couple of pairs of BT bone conduction headphones).

Being aware of your own shortcomings and that you don’t like them is a gargantuan milestone, OP.

Most people are in extreme denial about who they are, and what their shortcomings are, and it leaves them very poor in regards to the potential to grow.

If you’re aware of and acknowledging things you don’t like about yourself: that’s actually a huge and powerful thing. You know what the things are about yourself that you want to improve.

Always remember, you don’t have to change completely overnight or anything, like you’re freaking Ebenezer Scrooge being visited by ghosts.

You can start by picking any one opportunity you see about yourself. “I don’t like that I (negative trait/action), so today I’m going to focus on (doing something positive regarding that trait/action).” Focus on that for a while… find joy when you succeed in being better. Don’t beat yourself up when you fail… just look at it as more opportunity to grow. Over time as you’re establishing positive habits, you can add new things to work on.

Your knowledge that you are on a journey of improvement and your determination are your superpowers.

I will say that if you decide that you want to grow for the better, definitely check in with the pros if you can, and not just random folks like me on the internet. But my point is, your self-acknowledgement is HUGE, and can be a tool you use to chisel your way to a better you. Don’t dwell on the past and keep beating yourself up about it… instead use it as your base to climb from. You’ve got this if you want it.

I said it elsewhere, but it’s almost like they looked at the market research showing Steam PC gamers would buy a gazillion Steam Controller 2s or Steam Deck Controllers if they made and sold either one, or both.

And then they decided to make something that was neither one of those things. It’s totally bizarre.

He doesn’t have to, but he probably should, if he wants future value from you as a non-dead worker.

Ah, yes, the Quing of SpadeHearts. The best card in the entire deck by far.

I just saw that they launched a new MMO with PC / Android cross play called Tarisland. But that’s literally all I have heard about it, I couldn’t tell you if it’s any good or not.

Not totally realistic, there aren’t enough interrupting ads in there.
