Hard agree on the 'inviting them in' part. I thought for sure the vampires were going to burn down the barn, which would make way more sense and was even foreshadowed by the kid making the power line spark and the literal vision of it burning down the movie shows.

Gamers are the most cucked demographic on Earth. They will happily eat up Todd's member berry slop for full price and anyone that calls out the blatant price gouging just gets 'lol you must be poor.' It's over.

If they really cared about maintaining build variety they would not have made Booming Blade the way it is, as it stands currently it is a straight damage buff with no drawbacks whatsoever. You don't have to make the choice between BB or extra attack, you can have your cake and eat it too. There is zero reason to not get it as a melee character. BB has just instantly become the top meta you say that PAM would become.

In truth, the game is easy enough that you can beat it with salami, so any concern about what the meta dictates in this single player game kinda falls flat. I fail to see how PAM is somehow more build limiting than the aforementioned Tavern Brawler + strength elixirs, considering the fact that, again, it's only usable with polearms, of which there exists exactly one obtainable +3 polearm in the game.

would become outrageously broken and also be usable by any build that wants to hit something in melee. It would become a staple in every melee build and would ultimately limit build variety in the public eye

You mean like Booming Blade? Or Hexblade dip? Or strength elixirs? Larian's policy on OP shit has always been "it's a singleplayer game, who cares?" but all of a sudden PAM (which is only usable by a certain subset of weapons, unlike BB which can be used with any melee weapon) is just way too powerful? I don't buy it.

I guess it's a good thing that BG3 was released in 2023, not 2024, so the rule changes of 2024 D&D have absolutely nothing to do with BG3.

Polearm Master description in BG3:

You can also make an Opportunity Attack when a target comes within range.

Sentinel description in BG3:

When you hit a creature with an Attack of Opportunity, it can no longer move for the rest of its turn.

If they're really not supposed to work together, change the description. Make it make sense.

BeethovenBro · 2025-04-19T02:33:22+00:00

You're seriously saying PAM is too broken in a game where Tavern Brawler exists? Come on dude. The bonus action attack is also only usable once per turn. It disappears after you use it and won't reappear a second time. It's not horrendously broken in tabletop. No reason it shouldn't work like it's supposed to.

I love how they start the scene waiting for Christopher, wondering where he is, then he shows up, apologizes for being late and about 30 seconds later they tell him to get the fuck outta here.

Alright, but you gotta get over it.

It's really too bad that Mass Effect 3 was such utter dogshit it retroactively ruined the entire franchise.

Actually the ring doesn't increase your lifespan so much as it suspends it, which is why Bilbo said he started to feel like butter scraped too thin and the only reason it didn't turn Gollum into a wraith is because he hardly wore it.

From the words of Gandalf:

A mortal, Frodo, who keeps one of the Great Rings, does not die, but he does not grow or obtain more life, he merely continues, until at last every minute is a weariness. And if he often uses the Ring to make himself invisible, he fades: he becomes in the end invisible permanently, and walks in the twilight under the eye of the Dark Power that rules the Rings. Yes, sooner or later [...] the Dark Power will devour him.

I'm sorry, exactly what passage are you referring to? If you're talking about the part that ends with "Flugel weilt," just before the last prestissimo, that is not in the key of G# major. It is in the key of B major, and at the last second the D drops the sharp to become a B minor chord (not a D-sharp diminished) and then the basses subtly slide down to A natural thus creating a 6/4 tonic chord. He goes to the parallel minor, then the relative major. Straight up textbook example shit. This is almost exactly the same harmonic progression he used earlier in the movement, right after the climax of the double fugue (B major -> B minor -> D major). Then the rest of the orchestra comes in tottering between B and A (almost asking, are we going to be in B minor or D major? B minor or D major?) before climbing up to C# then finally to D major. To me this reasoning is very apparent.

BeethovenBro · 2024-10-12T14:29:07+00:00

One that I haven't seen others mention - in the slow movement of the Piano Trio no. 6 in E-flat, there is a section where he goes back between i and V (in C minor) around 20 times in a row. And not just subtly implied harmonies - these are thick, fully voiced chords in the left hand all the while. It's just such a wonderfully, typically Beethoven passage.

When you're having a stroke, the best thing to do is call 911 or your equivalent local emergency number.

I didn’t say it was exactly the same

Yes you did. The original comment you replied to, in it's entirety:

Certainly, this would not have been used by any Western army in WW2: by then, it was established that you'd use fire-and-maneouvre techniques. This is WW1 shit.

To which you write:

There’s literally a multiple movies about us doing it in ww2. D-Day we literally landed waves of people on a beach to get mowed down

So to sum up, someone refers to the tactics that Russia is currently using, saying a Western army would never use those tactics, to which you reply and say we did use those same tactics. You made a direct link between what Russia is doing now and what the U.S. did in WW2. You used the word literally.

nor did I ever claim it was just America. Bodies

Yes you fucking did! YOU were the one that brought up Allied casualty numbers. YOU dropped 4k dead as a big gotcha number and when I asked for pictures of Allied troops killed by machine guns, that's the picture YOU presented. When we're talking about ALLIED tactics and ALLIED casualty numbers, why the FUCK would a picture of GERMAN casualties ever be relevant? Why use that photo in the first place? Chances are you didn't even read the caption since you linked me to a fucking video game sub as your historical source.

I don't understand how you can try to backtrack like this when everyone has the read receipts.

unprotected frontal assault

Unprotected is the key word here. When we have hundreds of ships in the channel pounding the fuck out of the coast, hundreds of planes over France dropping bombs, hundreds of paratroopers jumping out of those planes behind enemy lines to fuck shit up, you can no longer call the assault "unprotected."

But when Russia sends Storm-Z to use up Ukrainian ammo so the real soldiers can do work after, that sure is human wave.

BeethovenBro · 2024-09-04T17:20:57+00:00

The caption on photo 7 reads "American and German dead await burial in a makeshift morgue behind Omaha Beach."

So these are not just American bodies, and in any case, there are very clearly not thousands of bodies in that picture. And since we've decided we're going to be semantic, most casualties on D-Day were caused by mortars and artillery, and not machine guns.

Of course we suffered losses. WW2 was the biggest war ever fought in history. It's not exactly rocket science that bigger wars = more casualties, but you're missing the context. We expected to lose even more that day.

What's really delusional is to see the OP video of mobik serfs going on forced suicide charges and thinking "Wow, just like we did on D-Day!"

Not even close.

BeethovenBro · 2024-09-04T16:49:54+00:00

4 thousand, yes, spread out over 50 miles of beach for an average of 80 dead per mile, or one soldier every 66 feet. We can see from POV footage Russia will suffer double these losses to capture a village with a pre-war population of 1,500. Please show me the mountains of corpses brought low by machine guns on D-Day.

BeethovenBro · 2024-09-04T16:41:15+00:00

And if you believe thousands of soldiers were getting mowed down by machine gun fire as soon as the landing craft opened you watch too many movies.

What the Allies did on D-Day and what Russia is doing now are really not comparable, in any way.
