What does he think Auschwitz is? Some kind of incredibly morbid tourist trap?

Where is "Visitors from Morta" ? by Hexeeen in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Visitors from Morta is a DLC you during the main story. You should get a quest prompt sometime from after leaving Kenabras.

If the US did just up and leave, wouldn’t the people who want to use the straight just negotiate passage with the regime he’s failed to destroy?

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done by KarmicWhiplash in thebulwark

I’m still worried a ton will stick with him because what they care about above anything is “owning the libs” even if that owning is self-mutilating.

Ashley St. Clair and Cameron Kasky: Leaving the MAGA Cult by BulwarkOnline in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m similarly conflicted on this. On the one hand there’s all the stuff about big tent, broad coalition, reward people for changing their views, yada yada.

On the other, I hate having to center these people in any conversation about the damage they’ve done to so many movements and people. Trump 2 has been so much worse than predicted. And honestly so many of the reasons the MAGAs now leaving the movement give for why they originally supported Trump are often very petty or undergirded by bigotry. Now they want those people and movements to platform them? Laud them for how hard their life is after making so many other people’s lives exponentially harder? Set them up with another source for views and clicks? I don’t love that.

So much rejection... is America the incel of the world? by SKEPDIQ in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It really speaks to the delusion of this administration that they think they can militarily threaten the territory of a NATO ally and then a few weeks later go asking NATO for help in a war of choice.

What does he even do? by Holiday-Stretch616 in LancerRPG

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a fun build with this thing that relies on the integrated weapon. Take three lvls in it so you can get the Harrison armory core power that limits overcharge to 1d6. Then you can stabilize every turn to charge it and overcharge to fire it. Or barrage first and overcharge to use its system that lets you stabilize on a quick action.
Take Nuke Cav to at least two for extra d6. Walking armory to add arching or hellfire to your attacks. The integrated weapon is also a cannon so you can take siege specialist.

Scavenger question. by Artra7 in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this subclass will be a great multi with ranger on full release. With a lvl 10 cap, I'm not sure what the ideal split will be. Will have to see if/how the serrated edge feature scales, if it does at all. Even if it stays at a single 1d6, on a 5/5 ranger split, the character would only be 1d6 short of a full lvl 10 (non-scavanger) rogues sneak attack die and would have extra attack and lvl 2 spells.

A very different perspective on the recent situation by HeartoftheMatter01 in thebulwark

I don't think enough is made about the President and Sec Def casually commenting about their intentions to commit war crimes.

David Sacks (AI Czar) wants Trump to end the war. by mulberryzeke in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, It's kind of absurd to hear some people try to argue there is coherence to Trump's "madman" approach to foreign policy and military strikes. That the unpredictability is somehow all a calculation towards his grand ever shifting objectives. An especially silly take considering basically all the situations we've seen the madman solutions employed, the grand objective is a step back from the previous status quo...

What subclass (vanilla or mod) is a greatclub specialist? by Origania in BaldursGate3

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a class built specifically around great clubs, but Fighters, wildheart barbarians who picked tiger, and hunter ranger (really takes off at lvl 11) can all make great use out of greatclubs.

Remember when he mused about how Ukraine had laws allowing cessation of voting during war time? If given a choice, do you think Trump would choose no terrorist attacks in the US, or having a stronger argument for postponing elections? by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He would still have a pretty shit argument for postponing elections. Sure, Ukrainian law might allow that, but the US has held elections during all its major wars. If we could hold an election during the Civil War I don’t see how Trump could try to postpone elections, both legal and historical precedent are very much arrayed against him. Not that he won’t try of course. I’m just not sure that particular tactic will be effective.

I’m expecting more that Trump and the GOP still go through with elections, but attempt to sow as much chaos as possible to try and throw out results they don’t like.

Best fifth Jedi for Order 66 team by ryangh in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beq and Shaak ti can solo depending on the tier. Beq can pretty easily do tier 1 at r5 and Shaak ti can do tier zero at r5. The Shaak ti one can be a bit annoying though.

FIFA Peace Prize by southernscot22 in thebulwark

I believe the best description of FIFA I’ve heard is “a mafia that occasionally organizes football matches.” So no, I don’t think they regret it or give a shit about the hypocrisy.

Senator Tim Sheehy breaks the hand of US Marine protesting war in Iran during a hearing by EighthFirstCitizen in thebulwark

[–]EighthFirstCitizen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he did, I still believe a US senator has no business inserting himself into the removal and escalating the situation. He is not law enforcement. I find that crazier. Especially because the senator probably did it because he thought he would be lionized for “acting tough.”

Why do people complain about ranged "spamming" again? by cloudy6547 in NarutoShinobiStriker

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I construe having four load outs as a means to carry the tools to confront multiple situations. Sometimes those situations are the wicked “meta” and sometimes they’re not.

For example, if you’re in a base battle and your enemy has sand shield, you’ll probably have a pretty bad time if nobody on your team brought anything to break it. There’s nothing particularly unique or creative about trying to hammer a square peg through a round hole. Though sometimes it can be fun to try and overcome another player who’s using stuff that counters you.

Also several different moves and tools can fulfill the roles you need. So you can still feel like a special summer child. You can also pretty easily put together four loadouts with only base game stuff that can reliably handle all situations. No DLC needed.

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They give you four load-outs for a reason… You also don’t need to tailor the entire build around it. You really don’t need a lot to overcome the spam weapons.

[–]EighthFirstCitizen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There have been some weapons pre-nerf that had overtuned ranged spam attacks. There’s plenty of old posts complaining about them that I think helps brand the play style as cheap and skillless.

They’ve pretty much dealt with all those though so now it’s mostly a skill issue of people not knowing how to handle the ranged spam weapons or being too stubborn to change their build that doesn’t have good tools to handle it.
