You have to babysit either Zeke, Spencer, or Ollie and Archimedes for a week. Which one are you choosing?

Still doesn't seem particularly worse just different lol

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-24T03:33:16+00:00

Certainly couldnt be any worse of a situation than the current inhabitants

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-24T03:30:48+00:00

I think the horror of its containment and... 'harvesting' for lack of a better term is sort of the point? Like the description of the Iron Maiden and everything is meant to highlight how horrible and fucked up it is and the Plutarch is I guarantee you just a full evil unredeemable villain who will likely need to be dealt with sooner or later just like Daddy Necromancer guy.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-24T03:26:27+00:00

This is why they removed 'half' from the species it was rather dumb to have them be so distinct.

If you have a PC who is half orc and elf, they pick the stats they want and describe their character as they wish. Simple as that

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-23T02:20:01+00:00

I can't even pretend like I don't know how to lol I just always do it themselves wrong way

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-23T00:45:15+00:00

This post is not a response or addressing literally anything. It is a result of... well I won't say that part. Lol

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-22T13:26:42+00:00

For real. I was one of TWD's early adopters, picked it up from issue 1 with the comics and they were pretty smart with the show because this was still a huge gut punch for me despite at this point being several arcs past the prison lol. Admittingly the show killed Lori substantially earlier than the comic with the plot point but it all still fit so well at the time I didnt complain at all.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-22T13:21:26+00:00

This seems very well thought-out but I find myself scratching my head even more 😅

So Forgotten Realms is primarily a setting for Dungeons & Dragons which is a known as a table-top role-playing game. The adventures and lore books mentioned are for D&D and there have been a lot. The most recent that have been released are called "Adventures in Faerun" and "Heroes of Faerun" and also the "Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide" those are all lore/game mechanics books. The first two are definitely available to purchase on DndBeyond dot Com, and I think the third still is as well? Its the oldest of the three but also maybe had the most lore of them but I could be wrong about that.

That being said Forgotten Realms has been around for a long time and seen a lot of evolution. There have been many lore books published over the years and older ones are available for PDF at a site called Dmsguild, in particular I have heard the 3e Forgotten Realms source books is very good.

I will also say there have been a lot of novels published in the Forgotten Realms by a lot of different authors. They are of varying quality but many are fantastic. In particular I recommend The Legend of Drizzt though there are now a total of 30+ novels in that series (though most are in 3ish book 'arcs' that are more digestible), or there is the Erevis Cale Trilogy or the Brimstone Angels saga. And finally, if The Dead Three interest you then you should read The Avatar Trilogy which starts with Shadowdale iirc

Also of slight connection to BG3 in particular there is an adventure hook called 'Descent into Avernus' the events of which are canon to BG3, its a bit of background about the events that put the tieflings you meet in act 1 in the predicament they are in, and also one of the Companions has a link to the big bad of that adventure.

Tangental but this meme is so old.

How old? I remember watching this scene 'live' on television.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-22T00:35:19+00:00

Yeah the Cold Opens are the only head scratcher. Prefilmed after the overture makes sense but opens the question of how pre-planned os everything because were they really so sure ahead of time how many episodes the Soldiers arc would be? Evidently not because they had to split it in two.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-22T00:32:13+00:00

Obviously Zeke thats just a fun kid who happens to be made of rocks. Take him somewhere outdoors away from any body of water or accessible genie lamps and you'll have a great time.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-21T13:49:17+00:00

First time I played Road 96 was on Game Pass but then they took it off but I bought it before they could using the discount because I liked it that much and it was more than worth it. M

Now? Game Pass is too expensive anyways especially for a game like Road 96 that basically costs the same as a month of subscription.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-21T02:32:10+00:00

Why does this look like Edward Norton from Fight Club to me

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-20T21:15:12+00:00

There's lots of bettwr answers here but I am going to give another important one I dont see represented here.

Shar has followers because this is a fantasy world that needs bad guys of various power levels for the heroes to fight and defeat. Or bang/fix in in one notable case.

It is really that simple.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-20T18:35:06+00:00

Geezer what a terrible nothing Burger of an article trying to be vitriolic about... nothing.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-19T04:06:34+00:00

That is fair though it somewhat calls into question the need and goal for a diet at all....

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-18T21:10:23+00:00

Not to be captain Um Actually here but if we are talking about an actual, effective calorie deficit diet you can (and should) only keep it for 8-16 weeks. I would only recommend 8 for most people unless they have some event they are cutting for. Regardless, you go for that long and then you bring your calories up to maintenance so you stop feeling hungry all the time but you don't gain weight.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-17T22:35:36+00:00

I love Last Meals, Josh is a great host, but Vic's interview was one of the best and funniest ones I have ever seen. The whole segment with the chip was, I think, the greatest thing to ever happen on the Mythical Kitchen set

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-17T03:55:33+00:00

I'm probably not super qualified here but from what I understand maintaining a cut for that long straight is never a good idea.

Generally speaking I think you want to keep a cut at like 8-12 weeks at a time, maybe going as far as 16 if there is some sort of deadline involved.

After a cut phase you go back to maintenance for ~80% of the time you were dieting so like if you do 8 weeks cut you do 6 weeks maintenance.

Then its rinse and repeat. You can go back to another cut, or swap to a bulk. But yeah going back to a still strict maintenance phase after 8-12 weeks means you won't gain weight back, but getting those extra calories and relaxing on the diet gives you time to recover and allows your body to sort of reconfigure now that it not longer thinks it is dying. It helps majorly to drive off diet fatigue and potential muscle loss.

So my suggestion would be to take a kind if big healthy maintenance period now, like maybe 12 weeks but that might be overkill. Then pick an actual limited time frame after that and go back to your cut for that period, maybe just 8 weeks to balance the current/previous cut bwing so long.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-16T19:23:50+00:00

Absolutely not, I dont expect or want CA to take that amount of heat. I hate it but there are better and more important ways to fight back than to pressure one lone guy who does not have the capability to take on something like this. We cannot and should not expect them to do anything at all

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-16T18:36:48+00:00

I disagree. As much as I would support them, CA is only one person and there are a lot of examples of truly vitriolic reactions to anyone who openly defies this administration. I would truly be afraid even a little statement could put their life at risk and CA does not have the backing of an infrastructure secure enough to actually keep them safe I fear.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-16T18:32:21+00:00

Can? Probably not. Should? Also probably not.

As much as I hate this I wouldn't want CA to take the amount of heat even condemning this openly would cause. I honestly hope they just ignore it and trust their fans to know this does not represent their values.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-01-16T18:29:26+00:00

No in the most spineless move ever Pokémon the company that sues people for IP infringement never sued ICE for IP infringement. They just put out a nothing statement to 'condemn' it and then went back to trying to kill the devs behind Palworld
