Yes, best of luck, Astrid! 🤞

One doesn’t want Astrid siccing a balor on them. Or casting a lightning bolt. So of course support. 😂 P.S. Do balors come from the Gate spell with SCS? I just had a recollection of pit fiends coming from that spell…

I have no problem with balors, but I think these are personal choices. I think we all have our own house rules.

Your reports sure are insightful. Too many examples to mention, but for instance, I never realized skellies were THAT good. I mean, I’ve always used them and STILL didn’t get it. Your current run makes me appreciate clerics, and Viconia more. I was planning on not taking her if I made it to BG2...

Once again, I'm amazed by your play. I'm happy to report I'm currently playing the best game I've ever played: I'm nearing the final fight in BG1 with my most difficult SCS configuration yet: all AI + tactical components, on hardcore. Many of those threats I've never seen before, so I'm shocked...

Welcome, and have fun. This is the most pleasant space on the internet I’ve ever seen.

I apologize for my part in the derailment, too. However, if not for our wayward discourse, we wouldn't have that Bing AI masterpiece to gaze at. 😂

Fascinating poem. I'd never heard of that until now. Talk about being ahead of your time.

Not necessarily. Again, there comes a point when you need to ask what the meaning of life is. For some, acceptance and acquiescence may be the wise path. For others, fighting may be the way. In the end, we don't know what the ultimate meaning of existence is, but even if meaning merely a product...

What a post! My goodness, that is a lot to wrap one's mind around. Very interesting. Great you were able to retire early. My retirement program is Freedom 95. I'm trying to compensate by dissociating on the job. 😂

Well, the problem with AI is unprecedented scale. Entire industries may be wiped out. In an oligarchy, who do you think the technology is going to serve? Will our society be here in 50 years? Collective memory may be a moot point, either due to extinction, complete societal collapse, or the...

Whether or not a worst-case, Skynet scenario unfolds, AI is not going to be good. Jobs will be lost. Misinformation is going to be even more rampant than it already is. I'm already seeing shocking examples of it in a professional capacity.

I doubt there's such a thing as that. In the old days, that's exactly what you'd turn to consoles for. One of the greatest distinctions between console and PC gaming was that you had a drastically higher probablity of getting a bug-free experience on console, simply because those games could...

New mod idea: charisma penalties for unseemly outfits and colour schemes.

Green Viconia is wrong, too. Fashion crime is the price we must pay, sometimes.

Veeeeery interesting. For what it's worth, I keep all BG sounds on except the music, which I turn off in options. I add music by streaming from a browser or streaming service. That said, if the music is loud you may miss hearing certain things in the game (such as the reassuring sound of a...

Speaking of soundtracks, how many of you still listen to the original game music when playing games? I stopped listening to the music in Baldur's Gate a decade ago. Instead, I stream dark ambient music that I find is more suitable for the game, and also less tiresome (how many times can you...

I thought the Pixie Prick gave the target a +6 bonus to their save? For that reason, I've never used it.

Letting Jan go on at least one shoplifting spree, even when playing a paladin.

Thank you, but no need to apologize or do extra work on my behalf! Your new narrative is great, btw! ❤️ m7600, you’re doing a great job, too, though I’m starting to get a little concerned about Wyatt’s chances. 😂 I wish I could do one of these myself, but I’m so busy I can barely find time to...
