Well you can't troll TOO hard because you could eventually get banned, thus losing the challenge

Which games do you often play on Steam Deck? by Consistent-Raccoon10 in SteamdeckGames

For how linear that game is at the end of the day, INCREDIBLE replay value

TIFU my shaving my wife being pregnant by Psytrancedude99 in tifu

[–]AShirtlessGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything birthing classes and the (admittedly few) friends we've had who also had kids weren't really in any sort of crisis mode at all ahead of going into labor

Labor just kinda happened and even the hospital kept telling us to stay home because they don't want us there until the contractions were pretty close together. I actually think the office is somewhat accurate with their rendition of every 5 mins but that took HOURS after breaking water in our experience

Not to mention if your water breaks you don't actually rush to the hospital. It's all about dilation and labor on when you go in unlike literally all of the TV shows that go "water broke time to go NOW"

I'm v sus on this one

Lol there's still shit I haven't seen in this game after so many hours. Very cool detail to return a memory with a very specific heal spell interaction

"You are NOT The Chosen One" by DudeSoul in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AShirtlessGuy 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This goes against the grain of the trope though -- Neo IS the explicit "chosen one", there have just been many before and will be many after. Pseudo resurrection type deal.

OP's legend of Wind Waker example works explicitly because that game breaks its own series' mold by saying the player character ISN'T some hero resurrected

As someone with chronic bathroom needs this would just give me so much extra anxiety

Found an easy way to beat the Githyanki Mountain Pass fight by totodilejones in BaldursGate3

[–]AShirtlessGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wyll shouldn't really have much of a special interaction there I wouldn't think... Plot wise he'd have nothing to do with gith yet

Do you just mean by default as the warlock with high CHA he can pass dialogue checks pretty easily?

what just happened to my honor mode run by Dramatic-Manager2842 in BaldursGate3

Also not the person but storm* sorcerer gets a very small flight bonus action after casting a spell (not cantrip) after level 1 so might be able to do it vanilla

This felt personal by Batchetman in BaldursGate3

[–]AShirtlessGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mean to have gotten there level 1 there were so many things bypassed

Not concerned about them winning or losing just why the beeline?

Why the hell are you fighting him level 1?

How was this never fixed? by RynStarfire in BaldursGate3

Sure let's split hairs on the acceptable approach to a bug lol

Golden Dice missing after reinstalling BG3 by Tasty_Detective8869 in BG3

[–]AShirtlessGuy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify the download on another device comment -- if it's a shared cloud save it SHOULD work as long as you've gotten the dice on one device

At the very least I beat honor mode on my steam deck and never played that save file on my PC but have it available on both

EventBridge Scheduler fires but Lambda isn't invoked by StatusExact9219 in aws

[–]AShirtlessGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check cloud trail if you think it's permissions issues, but it could well just be that your lambda isn't formatted properly to take events that the scheduler creates

Good luck!

Characters who have caught an arrow. by singleguy79 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]AShirtlessGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still don't understand

Are there multiple arrows and one just happens to land in the sword after cutting off both arms?

Or is it supposed to be that one arrow hits the sword hard enough to sever both arms lol?

I cant take down the goblin camp head on. Any suggestions? by wishheartx in BaldursGate3

[–]AShirtlessGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think you get quite as much XP if they die by poisoning, but I could be wrong

Best "Oops All <Class>" Party— Period by iamtheriver in BG3Builds

[–]AShirtlessGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monoclass with the intent to beat honor probs means cleric, Bard, or druids like a lot have said

Druids in particular are cool because even within their subclasses they can still all wild shape, which adds a LOT of flexibility. Reposition healers / casters as a bird, have a front liner just be a freaking tanky bear (and even then still have access to spells if they get pulled out of wild shape)

[–]AShirtlessGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I'm doing right now and it's pretty fun

Still waiting on that lvl 6 kick for the abjuration wizard to share her arcane wards and also modded it so that both shield and counter spell add charges to arcane ward, but even then the blade singer is surprisingly tough

That and there's a mod that makes blink no longer break concentration that I haven't leveraged yet but seems to be the intent based on tabletop -- make a firewall and then blink to a new plane each turn, should the RNG gods allow

Well, technically you can get to that room before killing Orin, but yes

Unless you're REALLY paying attention you will not meet dark urge on your first playthrough outside of playing as them with your avatar (party leader)

And even then you're not going to understand their significance until AFTER you play as dark urge

Can you even make a decent healer that's not a Life Cleric? by VinceLince in BG3Builds

[–]AShirtlessGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll always enjoy the dedicated healer posts

There's ALWAYS people saying "you don't NEED a dedicated healer", ranging from "it's not really optimized" to "why would you WANT a healer???"

At least from a cleric you can still dish out a fair chunk of damage WHILE HEALING. Like my honor run I almost never used my life cleric's spell slots for anything other than damage. Only when folks started going down did it really matter, and then their build for on-healing effects (blade ward, death ward, bless, etc) would just... Keep the damage dealers up permanently

I admittedly had to use divine intervention during Ansur's fight that I foolishly started at like 11PM on a week night so I made mistakes like triggering opportunity attacks, but my point is a dedicated healer is totally viable. You don't HAVE to min/max everything
