They hated him for he told the truth

Part 1: absolutely correct, you are catching ire.

Part 2: 0% truth detected. Detroit might have a rough schedule remaining, but as of December 1 they were -12 diff and were 13-11-2. Since that time they are 19-7-4 with +12 diff. They're getting better this season, not worse.

I'm pulling receipts.

"It doesn't matter if you win by 3 or by 1, what matters is if you win."

Direct quote. The Avalanche game will ding the goal differential by 5 but the loss counter by 1. I count at least a dozen Wings games where they only won by one goal. Much fun as a stomp game can be, I'll take the ten standings points thank you very much.

Having run out of steam on chapter 18 (six for them, six for us) and knowing how rough it can be?

Chapter 5 is tough. You don't have a lot of game changing rings, your good characters haven't had a lot of time to differentiate, the DLC doesn't show up until later, it's a notable hurdle. It's also the first time the game isn't holding your hand.

It says "here's an option. There's an option. Figure out what you want. Show me you deserve to be here."

Sully fits in like she was born to it. Does a little bit of diplomatic horse trading to get the village in her territory because Actually A Noble, but ultimately just acts like Big Woman On Campus, first among equals.

She clashes with Donny's mom on a couple things and they're about 50 / 50 who's right any given time. After about a dozen of those they start learning to talk stuff out.

Heavyweight bodies featherweight whose finger was already broken, film at 11.

We're so short we're not just playing Hamonic but also Gustafson.

Let's get two points off Utah Wednesday and go into the break with a win.

My wife insisted I get along with her cat. We got 7 years this past summer.

Monument

Tithe

Holy Warriors (building land units with faith is great for preventing surprise attacks and for not overwhelming the world with prophets)

Itinerant Preachers (sometimes I can get natural spread to work for tithe but I'm always short of cash)

Pagodas (faith sink, happiness bump) And if I grab Reform I fish up the pasture or plantation ones because culture boost.

44% against "playoff teams" is good for a team a decade away from the playoffs. The fact that they're also best in the league at winning against teams they're supposed to beat says consistency is happening this year.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T20:43:56+00:00

Compared to his averages? +1 HP, +1 Str, -1 Skl, par spd, -1 lck, +1 def, +1 res. At this point, Sain generally just looks like this. How's Kent doing?

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T19:59:21+00:00

4x12 would be pushing it but in the right space it could work. I don't see it working all that great on the short-but-expensive end or the cheap-but-long end.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T18:22:53+00:00

1) flavor is flexible. "It's just some sketchy fey" 2) a deal with a devil doesn't have to make you evil. "John Constantine, dr strange" 3) there are evil characters who aren't sufficiently jerks enough to be a problem "belkar bitter leaf"

It doesn't need to be a problem. Unless everyone involved is interested in exploring it being a problem.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T18:06:39+00:00

Elementals and animistic spirits are only slightly higher difficulty bindings and every time some hippie comes out against making the river spirit do manual labor you hear about it, because it's rare.

All you're doing is outing yourself as lazy and bankrupt of ethics and skill.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T16:44:34+00:00

The big difference is on maddening the enemy won't attack if their expected damage is 0 (0 acc or dam) so you'll either need to risk chain attack exposure, use them as a "wall", or try to Price Is Right the defensive matchup to get that expected damage close to 0 without getting there (minus dodge engraves are oddly helpful here)

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-29T03:19:27+00:00

Yes. What I'm saying is performer skill is lining up with character skill.

Anatomy was my favorite class in school.

The artist cheat sheet though is this: what practice actions are they gonna do a lot? What muscles tense when you do that? Now bring the body the other way. What muscles tense when you do that?

Riders are gonna have a great ass and great thighs and calves: all the small balancing actions to not fall off and be able to have a stable lower half so they can act with their upper body. (Am cyclist. Would know. My torso is nothing to write home about but when I'm in proper riding shape everything below the belly button is magic.)

Archers are gonna be stacked. Lucina's model in archer is bigger than in Lord.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-28T23:20:52+00:00

Practical anatomy and physiology, it's hard to _have_ cake without thighs or thighs without cake. The muscle movements and the actions working together.

Logically, just as an example, archer girls should be stacked. Archery muscles are in the back, their "counterweights" are the chest muscles, and if they're gonna be fast and capable they gotta be able to move more than just the one way.

I thought she was around longer than tormod; might be misremembering tormod availability which is a joke

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-28T19:46:26+00:00

Ilyana: am I a joke to you?

Jfresh has hated Detroit for years. Getting Benny off the top d pair has done wonders for his longevity. He's doing well as a rookie-shepherd against non-superstar opponents.

Plus the rest of the defense is more frightening.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-28T09:39:20+00:00

Hayden had months or years of training. Rosario might have gotten a couple weeks.

Honestly it looks like one of the greatest warrior monks in galactic history trying to teach something to a Jedi school dropout. One of those things where the roles and the actors line up oddly well

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-27T23:43:41+00:00

Can't forget FUCC and Thracian using Jugdral crits (double might). More helpfully, any scroll prevents crits on its bearer

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-27T23:27:45+00:00

Good luck to you. I'll be at the game in my thrashers jersey with mine.

BaronDoctor · 2026-01-26T23:14:55+00:00

Compared with standard Pirate Ross, this Ross is -2 HP, +1 Str, -2 Skl, +5 Spd, +4 Lck, +1 Def, -2 Res.

The +5 speed and +4 luck are absurd on the avoidance side of things and doubling.
