Fille, s'il vous plait!

cast your opinions gamers do i pay the $45 (painful, for my '$20 is expensive, $5 is more like it' self) for BG3 finally or do i cannibalize veilguard's poor looted corpse for that 50% discount.

note that you all know ive played DA and am so so normal about it, but i also very much enjoyed dos2 and was the now forgotten person in my friend groups shilling for larian when bg3 was in early access like "i think you can trust them, really". I have an aerial view of what im getting into with each, this is a question to answer with your most petty baseless opinion.

update to this: i did get baldur's gate, made rhys' dnd version (drow sorcerer)

he's failed every arcana check since the beginning and never missed on a strength or dex check including lockpicking. he's a wild magic sorcerer. he turned into an actual sheep during the first big fight.

lae'zel confessed to wanting to lay him out like a piece of drow jerky while both of them were covered in spider guts and he was alive on temporary hp from her rally lmao. she also tried to kill him later that night. he barely convinced her not to because astarion killed him the night before and he had a penalty on every roll.

its going great.

so due to steam sales i finally played subnautica!!

which, is a big deal since not only do i have severe thalassophobia i have like. the kind that makes me pass out at the sight of deep water. keeled over in an aquarium tunnel involuntarily. very annoying, given a lifelong fascination with the ocean/living in a location surrounded by water, so me and the ocean has just been 2+ decades of bashing myself against my body's random kill switch.

but i made it down to blood kelp/lost river so far! streamed it for my friends while playing full screen with the lights off for maximal effect (because by god i was going to either fight through it or faint trying and either way it would be funny for everyone else)

creatures dont scare me nearly as much as the vertigo of deep water, which is funny, since i have never been attacked by a leviathan, but i have gotten trapped in multiple trenches/cliffs at night where i would have rathered a reaper come try to merc me. also met a ghost leviathan before one of them.

plus, apparently i put my baby base in The location without knowing

but so far im super proud to have tackled something ive been wanting to attempt for a long time! turns out its a very fun game even though it happens to be a nuke directly to my psyche's achilles heel. its held my hand to naturally transition from "i REFUSE to exit the lifepod from the bottom at night" to "fuck this stupid slow sub im getting out and swimming home from 900m deep with nothing but the light of my thermal knife because i dont have battery for anything else"

well i built a more forever-home in lost river and have now scanned all but the sea dragon! also confirmed that reapers just. dont like attacking me. they attack my seamoth but not me.

i think before i leave (game has been beaten, technically) im. going to make myself build one base in every biome. just to make sure i actually go out there and swim around each of them.

I think they’re underreporting the sheer amount of damage Helene has caused. Entire towns are gone. 50 confirmed deaths already. Down power lines everywhere. Emergency responders are swamped. Stoplights are out. There’s a down live power line at the bottom of my mom’s mountain and the sheriff is like “yeah, I know. we called the power company and they’re not going shit.”

The water table is already full, the ground is saturated, lakes and ponds are draining into causeways and it’s supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. It looks like it’s going to be light misting rain but more flash flooding is possible and more lives and infrastructure may be lost. Many people are still in danger. We cannot begin to estimate how much damage has been done. Unlike Florida, Southern Appalachia wasn’t given evacuation notices or pre-warning of how devastating the storm was going to be, the storm path seems to have gone east instead of its projected path which was more to the west.

Asheville’s Arts District is straight up gone. Chimney Rock is gone. Multiple other small towns have been wiped off the map.

Hi. I live in the Asheville area. The reason there's no reporting is there's no cell signal anywhere in the area. The news can't even get in. We couldn't call anyone, all we had was the emergency radio and even they didn't have information because the news channels don't have connections either.

I am currently evacuated with my family in Charlotte. I'm disabled and one night without power was too much. It may be weeks before we have power.

We were not prepared. We had no reason to be prepared. Helene was supposed to top at cat 2 and veer west. Instead it landed at 4 and charged straight at us. I live on a hill so I was safe from flooding, but no less than 4 trees went down in our yard, two on our house, right above my head.

We are a temperate rainforest. There's nowhere for the water to go. This isn't supposed to happen.

Asheville is fucking devastated. I love my city and I'm heartbroken. Famously the City of Lesbians, the queerest city in the South. It remains to be seen what will happen after it's all said and done but it's fucking horrible. No one here has ever seen anything like this.
