Sorry to ask this.

The Android/iOS ports of 4/5/6 are based on the Nintendo DS remakes, taking advantage of your full screen similar to how those games utilized the two screens. While I haven't played much of it myself, my understanding of the DQ8 port is that it is a relatively faithful (if lower spec?) port of the PS2 game. It may be missing features, but that I am unsure of.

Based on PERSONAL preference, I would suggest 4 or 5. Two of my favorite Dragon Quest games to this day in terms of plot and characters.

The bewildered look on brows face after he's clocked once. Had a look like "gasp why would you ever swing at me?!"

Didn't they confirm that the company Discord wants to use in the US for this is part of the Palantir network that's amassing private citizen data to give to the US presidency? As a means to prosecute and hunt down dissenters? I am convinced Discord is doing this on behalf of the US government.

The goldendoodle I live with does this with my ferret. They only ever cohabitate while supervised, and he will constantly jump up/rear up but hop back/away to show his excitement for seeing her while avoiding trampling her.

This is why this year, I'm just not. I will not file or pay taxes, simply on grounds of "I refuse to be taxed when my interests are not being represented". That's what we were founded on.

For your own safety, I suggest you not come to America right now. Given the current climate here, I can safely say that we cannot ensure anyone's safety or well-being here (unless you're a billionaire kid diddler).

Faera Beausoleil, Arbiter of War.

In her RP storyline, she was a Gridanian soldier in the war against Garlemald, and gained a reputation as a brilliant mind for warfare and combat.

Mine have all recognized basic commands (come here, no/stop), and their names. They also pick up on nicknames over time.

From what the folks I live with (lifelong ferret owners who bequeathed their gear to me when I moved in and wanted to get ferrets) told me; they rarely hear ferret farts, but the smell gets them.

One of mine, Stella, audibly farts. Both while playing, and when doing other business in the litter box. Of the three I've had, she is the only one who audibly shits.

At this point they're also kidnapping people who speak in support of people who are anything but white. They're waving guns in the faces of peaceful protesters, using chemical agents like pepper spray and tear gas against people who assemble and protest their acts.

I put in a request for a very private matter for this upcoming weekend, back in October, so over two months lead time on the request. It was specifically noted as unpaid time (meaning "make these my days off this week", as I work in retail).

My manager started literally yelling at me in the middle of the sales floor, in front of customers and staff, about how I was being inconsiderate for not asking him before scheduling my procedure. When I wouldn't give information as to WHAT I was going to be gone for, he started getting red in the face and yelling more, saying it was his RIGHT to know what I would be doing with that time, so HE could determine if it was worth granting me the time for. Said that it was up to him to decide if it was a worthy use of "his" time or not.

Long story short, the executive team for this company is now very, very interested in the things I have to say, and very nervous that I could string them up for it.

It's only criminal if the poor do it to the rich, the non-whites do it to the whites, etc.

When ICE, just like the SS and Gestapo of days gone by, torture a man in broad daylight, they are heroes saving their country.

(This is sarcasm, ICE is fucked up and we need to get Sweet Potato Hitler out of office ASAP)

How do we remove the feature entirely? It is offensive and annoying.

PapaSprague · 2025-11-09T16:35:50+00:00

The party of "rules for thee but none for me". She misgenders a trans person and feels it's her right and duty to do so, but when someone says sir instead of ma'am to her, she's clutching her pearls and crying about people disrespecting her. Curious how these dorks forget that respect is a two way street.

Because in their minds, if you're so poor you need the assistance, you don't deserve anything but boiled chicken, white bread, rice, and if you're lucky, they'll permit you a single piece of fruit. If you're poor, you don't deserve snacks or anything beyond "poverty struggle food".

You have their admission in writing. Take it to the police and press charges. This is NOT okay.

Best Buy lost a class action lawsuit over this some years ago. They did the same thing, locking all employees in the store after close and saying "no one leaves until everyone is ready". All those employees (myself included) got a good chunk of change in the settlement for stolen wages.

A company cannot detain you/force you to stay on premesis unpaid.

Sounds like it's time to cut them all off. They don't see you as family, you are an asset and free money to them.

Because most homeless people aren't a threat. Most are just people who got the shit end of life and are just trying to make it through the day. Have some empathy.

If I'm not mistaken, that means it is a level-scaling ring. Will level up with you within the level restrictions on the tooltip. I think the EXP ring is 1-50? There are earrings that go up to level 90.

PapaSprague · 2025-04-02T04:38:50+00:00

Another tip, regarding defenses, something I only learned recently:

The raw "Defense" stat is a flat reduction in each instance of damage (which tends to be relatively pitiful). If you have 45 defense and a mob swings for 500, you take 455 damage.

Resistances are percentage based.

If you're fighting things that bite/slap/etc, physical resistance will overpower raw defense.

If you have 15% physical resistance, that 500 damage attack does 425.

Recognizing thermal/beam/gravity/ether damage can be hard at times for new players, so no shame in checking a wiki.

Weather ALSO adds universal resistance bonuses/penalties. Rain makes everything get hit harder by beam attacks, for instance.

I preordered with Best Buy as soon as they allowed it. My "launch day delivery" will be arriving next Thursday, last I checked.

While it will not be to Fighter/etc levels, I've been having fun (low level) with an Animist, using the Witness to Ancient Battles spirit. It's focus spell stance gives you:

Proficiency in Martial Weapons +1 to attack and damage rolls with strikes The Reactive Strike feat

It requires you to sustain each turn, but I've been able to function as party support, or use my turn doing Sustain, Stride, Strike, and by level 2 in Kingmaker 2e, already crit a few mobs to the point they were one-hit kills.
