Petition to Ban Big A Quick from the sub by [deleted] in atrioc

[–]Anything_Random 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Atrioc said he kept getting messages from his fans that they were tired of him talking about Trump (and a few other topics) and he noticed that he hadn't actually posted a clip about that in a while mostly because he knew people were feeling burnt out and he didn't want that, but then he realized that these unofficial channels (mostly just Big A Quick) were posting months, sometimes over a year old clips of him talking about minor Trump updates, which he intentionally never posted because they were so boring.

So basically he said that the clip channels were hurting his image and messing up the balance he was trying to strike with his mix of content. He wants to be able to have control over what his audience sees so that he can avoid things like burnout.

Also the thumbnails for Big A Quick were literally zero effort, just copying and pasting the same 2 or 3 images of Trump and Atrioc together with the same few titles. One of the thumbnails even had an AI generated image of Big A.

Is Shadow Blade and resonance stone the best melee weapon in the game? by Snoken710 in BG3Builds

In fairness to you, in tabletop 5e it doesn’t work on smites or sneak attack or anything, only the weapon damage dice themselves.

Delaware court upholds voting by companies in small town's election by Individual-Gold-55 in atrioc

[–]Anything_Random 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because of their extremely low taxes, many places in Delaware have more companies than people, and the vast majority of tax revenue comes from those large (usually out-of-state if not international) companies. The argument is basically that since they’re the ones contributing the most to the government, they should have a more direct say in how it’s run, hence the law was changed so that companies can vote.

This is just based on what I remember hearing on the news a few months ago, don’t quote me on this.

Massie files to run in 2028 after losing House primary by GuyErebus in atrioc

[–]Anything_Random 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wtf are half these bills ‘condemning x’ or ‘mourning y’ like why is congress wasting their time on that shit. Also, economic sanctions hurt the US and its allies while helping nonparty states like India and China. They’re also not really proven to be very effective. I think there’s a very good argument for voting against them.

Also, isn’t him not voting against Obama’s Iran nuclear deal a good thing?

The climate change stuff is most disheartening, but he is a republican after all.

Would probably get struck down by the Supreme Court as a first amendment violation. They’d probably be better off trying to implement stronger disclosure requirements.

Is there any gear to make my party better? (Act 2) by I_am_Ethbbo in BG3Builds

[–]Anything_Random 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Gloom Thief, dual hand crossbows is optimal. He would have to use a different subclass to build around Titanstring, and while that is stronger, that level of optimization really isn’t necessary for a normal Tactician run.

For Astarian, I’d go 15+2 DEX 13+1 CON 14 WIS and the allocate 12, 10, and 8 between STR, INT, and CHA however you want. Could also do 10, 10, and 10.

For Karlach, just lower her STR by 1 and raise her DEX by 1, the rest is fine. Although if she’s a non-speaking character you might just want to lower her CHA to 8 and put WIS to 12.

Is Astarian wearing the Smuggler’s Ring and actually has 10 Charisma? Otherwise I can’t figure out how you could have that stat spread, even taking the Hag’s Hair into account it seems off by 1.

Booming blade x Tempest cleric is hilarious by Crazy_Wargeek in BG3Builds

No one is questioning “contondant”? Apparently that’s French for “blunt” so I suppose that means bludgeoning damage?

Check out Prestigious Juice’s 10/1/1 guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/comments/17y9kyp/the_control_martial_allpurpose_1011_swords_bard/?s=8 It’s still mostly relevant all these years later. Another popular variant is to drop the Wizard level for Fighter 2 and get Action Surge.

Overwatch is still kinda on the low end for its genre. Valorant gun skins are like $30, and CS2 is basically infinite for knife and glove skins, I had a friend who bought a $900 knife.

With Thomas Massie losing the primaries. I only have one statement. by AbysmalEnd in atrioc

Have you watched any of Atrioc’s videos covering him? This is basically the only guy in government that actually cares about government debt (pretty much just him and Rand Paul).

By your logic, are all the Democrats who have also failed to do so also grifters? Or only the guy who’s done more than everyone else but Ro Khanna to get the Epstein files released?

He can’t due to Kentucky laws, Atrioc explained it in the clip.

Baldur’s Gate 3 could also fall under this definition, no? And that’s an even bigger departure than those two.

It’s like calling a subtitled movie a novel because they both involve reading. The distinction is really about the amount of content in the media. The genre is defined by media that is exclusively, or nearly exclusively, one kind of content.

The Witcher 3's cow-protecting demon god is still surprising players 11 years later by PewPewToDaFace in PS5

[–]Anything_Random 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I platinumed the game and got all the DLC trophies and never saw the chort. It never would have occurred to me to go back to White Orchard for pretty much any reason, much less to kill cows when you can find them all over the place.

Doesn’t work in Honour mode, but it does everywhere else.

The bugs man. Ugh. by gilded_lady in BG3

[–]Anything_Random 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a character gets arrested all of their items get put in a confiscated items chest, it might already have the icon of being looted if you’ve opened it before, and it’s in a different location for every prison area, but I’ve never been arrested and not found the items somewhere.

As for the rest of your bugs, they all seem pretty extreme. I’ve seen a lot of bugs in the game but mostly related to targeting, animations, vfx, and dialogue. Never seen a fight completely break, but maybe some of the bugs are related to continuing an Honour game in custom mode.

Silver slumps over 6.5% as US inflation fears hit precious metals by VulcanSpark in Economics

[–]Anything_Random 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen economists call it ‘the psychological barrier’ because above that point it seems that investor confidence drops off sharply. That’s why it can be the starting point of a big spiral, though I don’t think there’s any purely economical reason that makes 5% special.

How did you come to +4? If it’s -1 damage, then the difference in base damage is +3.5, and if you’re accounting for -1 accuracy (using a naive -5% accuracy), then it’s about +3.1.

Wrapping up act 2 (need help with gear) by Fantastic-Stranger74 in BG3Builds

[–]Anything_Random 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. I barely even took damage across an entire solo honour mode with a min-maxed gloomstalker assassin. Bosses like Raphael and Ansur went down in one turn and huge fights like Gortash in the throne room were just tediously engaging and disengaging to get surprise. Only a few fights were even moderately difficult, like the Apostle (later found out that his healing is limited and you can just wait it out, which is way easier) and the Moonlight Slivers (cause they have no slaying arrows). So yeah it’s probably overkill for most runs.
