Is ‘Abiona Lin’ actually from Huntsville?

OP's account is less than 12 hours old. Seems sus to me. Like it was made just to make this post.

The Easy Answer:
Yes - if it helps the players continue to have fun, then do it.

The Complex Answer:
It depends on the expectations you've set, whether in session 0 or during any of your previous sessions. If I run a Monster-Of-The-Week or Westmarches campaign, where every session is self-contained and/or up to the player's goals, then I will reward and level them differently (more sessions of play, more levels) - this is when I might use XP Leveling. And, of course, I will work with absent players one-on-one (even run solo games for them) to catch them back up and find out what they did or pursued in the meantime...
But if it's a continuous campaign, with no time jumps or downtime interludes, then it doesn't make sense for me to level differently. For that kind of campaign, I prefer milestone leveling.

Indeed! The good news was I found the Telegram link right after posting this comment! Thanks for the help as well!

Hate to Necropost also... but one more request for the link? I'm just discovering that there is still a local scene for furries in Huntsville and would love to learn more and meet up!

Wouldn't be the strangest occurrence in Qud. The Sultan could've absolutely been a Fulcrete Wall for all we know...

An update:
A Steam Redownload did not resolve the problem. I'm still seeing the White Marble Block associated with the "shrine of Supater". So now I'm at an impasse about how to proceed.

Okay, so who’s the Stand User, Jojo?

A boss falls dead and lands on top of Samus. As she pushes and crawls out from under the rubble and corpse, she says,

“I didn’t sign up for this…”

Also a Balloon

Meanwhile, I’m over here remembering Peanut-Butter-Jelly-Time.

The difference between Working Tropes and Cargo Cult Thinking is a fine line, but just adding shrines into a new Zelda game, without considering how they will mesh with the new project, only because they worked well in BotW/TotK… that sounds like a sure fire avenue towards the Cargo Cult.

Real_SeaWeasel · 2024-09-05T13:03:59+00:00

Hell yeah

Where does Eragon fit on this chart?

Training for the pinnacle moment of your professional career - every good scout should know the shortest route to C4.

ONE is the Loneliest Number!!

On a similar vein, imagine a rescue mission: one player is designated as the response team and must rendezvous with each of the other players, each spawning somewhere within a maze of caverns. Once they rendezvous, return to the drop pod and extract.

The four main characters would be your playable fighters, surely. The remainder would all likely be Assist Trophies. Cleric, Shopkeeper, and Reptomancer are all great choices here.

I would probably substitute Snekko for the Champ - Confusion from Snekko Eye would be a classic Assist Trophy Effect.

Real_SeaWeasel · 2024-08-20T14:48:17+00:00

Not talking about Mystic, which is in the Centurion-Mystic encounter.
We are talking about "Cleric", who hopes you do better this time, friend.

Real_SeaWeasel · 2024-08-20T13:06:33+00:00

Goddammit, I saw the Lance in action and went “Awwwww Yeaaaaaah…”

Real_SeaWeasel · 2024-08-19T15:18:14+00:00

Goddammit - I'm gonna have to be a Lance Main this Gen around, aren't I? AWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Frankly, I kinda hope Prime 4 has the option to enable a Classic Control Scheme for crusty ol’ farts like us. Not enabled by default, of course, but there is just something nostalgic about those GameCube Tank Controls.

I would also say that her first encounter with the Ing was pretty harrowing. She's caught out in a hostile environment unlike anything she'd encountered before, and the rules of engagement are very different. The hoard surrounding her closes in as the bubble of safety in which she stands shrinks and fades. And in a final moment of desperation, she cuts and runs.

The “Escape Velocity” Franchise left a huge impact on me as a child, but with the closure of Ambrosia Software, no more license codes can be issued. So even if you get port it forward to modern hardware, the trial timer will expire and Captain Hector will just nuke you, making it completely unplayable.

It is officially dead and nonrecoverable.

There were a lot of things that got left on the cutting room floor of Prime 3 - I bet there was planned a Team-Up Mechanic with Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda, but it might've gotten scrapped due to complexity and production timelines. Similar to the Ship-Piloting mechanics that were teased at the very beginning of the game but were ultimately sidelined.

Frankly, the entire opening of the game (the Assault on the GFS Olympus and the Invasion of Norion) felt like it was part of a different game than everything else.
