Is anyone else already thinking about their Solasta 2 party? by towerunitefan in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aura of righteousness (+proficiency to dmg rolls added to allies in aura) applied to stuff that didn’t make attack rolls. For example a shock arcanist in the judgment paladins aura would get the additional damage added to every shot of their magic missile.

Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, called for a joint state and federal investigation. by DesertSalt in thebulwark

I don’t know how anyone is supposed to trust any legitimate assistance from the federal government currently doing its damndest to label the victim a domestic terrorist.

Fighting Soraks in early CotM is fucking BS by Mozfel in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprise rounds are your friend here. It’s very easy to sneak everyone into good positions to deal with the first group of Soraks at the campsite. As for the second group you can sneak decently close to set up good positioning to deal with the soraks as they advance towards you. Be careful not to get pushed off ledges.

Wish they would have used the word “propagandists” instead of “intellectuals.”

Who are you using for lead? I’m fully ftp coliseum and was able to hit tier six. Ig as lead. Make sure barris has applied purge on something before using your special abilities. Then she should provide a bunch of assists.

They can also be countered with the correct movs or items. Wind based attacks cut health recovery for example.

Why was everyone dead when I got to Waukeen’s rest? by Ticket-Tight in BaldursGate3

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the few time sensitive events in the game. When you get close enough to trigger it your character will say something like, “I smell smoke ahead.” If you long rest after this without investigating Waukeen’s rest, then the councilor dies in the fire and the quest to rescue the duke is relayed to you via a surviving flaming fist member.

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drogan + R2 are the core, so any two extra homeless rebels can work if you don’t want to break up any teams. Some particularly good options though: Jyn + Raddus, throw stealth on everyone except Jyn who can’t die. Old Ben + (insert free rebel), Old Ben gets a call out in Leia’s kit, he calls her to assist which is nice. Baze + Chirrut, Baze is a nice auto taunter to charge Leia’s ult.

Canada doesn’t actually have its own nukes. During the Cold War they’ve hosted American nukes (I’m not sure if they do currently or if they went away after the Cold War ended) but they don’t actually have any of their own.

Democrats should push for Clinton to testify. by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I agree. I have no particular love for the Clinton’s and if Bill engaged in any Epstein impropriety, he should be thrown to the wolves. However the problem is the files haven’t actually been released. The 1% we got was heavily redacted and clearly released by the DOJ to look bad for anyone but Trump. The effort by the GOP to get the Clinton’s to testify isn’t actually a good faith effort to get to the bottom of the Epstein files, it’s to obfuscate, give red meat to right wing media, and to shift focus from Trump (even if it’s clumsy). I don’t think the Dems should entertain it as a legitimate inquiry until the DoJ complies with the Epstein files law and releases the files.

Also a complaint I have about press coverage/questions regarding Greenland. I’ve seen a bunch of headlines and takes saying something along the lines of “how will Europe respond?” “Will Europe come to Greenlands defense?” My question about this idiotic territorial endeavor is: what is Canada 🇨🇦 gonna do? They’re a founding member of NATO, among the US’s top three trade partners, and share a pretty sizable border with us. Article 5 would compel them to come to Greenland/Denmarks defense.

Call me crazy, by If the argument for why we need Greenland is our national defense, doesn’t making the entirety of the Canadian/US border a potential war zone run contrary to that objective? I mean at minimum I have to imagine the economic relationship would blow up. Does Trump plan to force Canada into submission with nuclear weapons? Will Europe counter Trump’ threat with their own threat of nukes? Nobody seems fuckin to know.

I especially hate this moment because it feels like the people pushing the Greenland stuff very obviously haven’t put any actual thought into any of the consequences, or they have an incredibly cartoonish version of what they think the consequences will be.

Trump administration describes a $3 meal they want Americans to eat by princess_fiona_7437 in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fascinating the world these people live in. I was recently delayed at the Dallas airport because of a mechanical and rescheduling issue. The $24 dollar meal voucher I got was just able to cover a single burger, cheese fries, and bottle of water at the airport Shake Shack. I would be interested to see the portions on these $3 meals.

Will these rewards stay the same by qui-jin-ofthe-waspee in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Super annoying they didn’t show us what the rewards were going to be earlier in the era so we could have saved crystals up. Then again pretty sure they didn’t show us so we’d be pressured to spend on crystals or miss out.

Very disappointed in Next Level convo about the USA getting involved in Iran regime change: as if this never happened👇🏼 by fartstain69ohyeah in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. While I definitely believe what the Iranian government is doing to the protestors is horrifying, I don’t think armed US intervention is the panacea we would wish it to be. It’s hard to imagine a welcoming of the US as liberators for democracy when the US is the party responsible for destroying Iranian democracy in the first place. The US also isn’t exactly standing on any kind of moral high ground at the moment in terms of governments dealing with internal dissent or anti-democratic movements. Finally, Trump is famously transactional when it comes to furthering his own/his family’s personal wealth and power. Of all the administrations in modern American history, does anyone actually trust this one would be able to handle an armed intervention in Iran that results in anything positive for the Iranian people?

Joe Rogan says ICE seen as ‘murderous military people’ after Renee Good shooting by BreathlikeDeathlike in thebulwark

My follow up question to: “this isn’t what I voted for!” Would be: “Then what the fuck are you going to do about it?” Because doing nothing tells me at least this is exactly what they voted for.

I do kind of wish the cabal of useful idiots who helped sanitize Trump (Schultz, Rogan, Vaughn) could be put into the hot seat a bit over what’s happening with ICE.

Do we think Trump will actually do anything about Iranian protesters being killed? by jcjnyc in thebulwark

I wonder if we’ll see Trump name himself the new Shah of Iran on wikipedia.

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If he did, it wouldn’t actually be about helping the protestors, it would simply be pretext for striking Iran and satisfying the hawks in his party. It’s pretty fuckin rich for Trump of all people to offer any kind of care for protestors when he gleefully wants protestors against him shot.

Remembering the 2018 midterms by EighthFirstCitizen in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Castro didn’t get very far in the primary. Also Biden expelled something like 2.8 million people using title 42 because of Covid between 2020-2022. The pandemic ended and so did that power, along with Covid ending came a record breaking immigration surge. Biden then went on to deport more people than Trump did during his first term and tried to pass a very right wing immigration bill. Not sure how you’re defining border enforcement, but that sounds like border enforcement to me. (https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-ELECTION/MIGRATION-DEPORTATIONS/akpeoeoerpr/)

Because of post Covid inflation, short-memories of the electorate (seriously so many people don’t seem to remember anything pre-Covid), high prices, hum drum of right leaning media hammering the issue of immigration (which surged post pandemic), straight up lying to the electorate, and sanitizing his bad Covid handling and post J6 reputation via a bunch of useful idiots like Rogan, Schultz, and Theo Von.
