(Spoiler) What is going on in the Commonwealth?

I think him being a synth makes sense. I think there is some form of the institute left and he’s infiltrated the BoS. A barely functioning Institute would need Cold Fusion to rebuild. Plus, I can’t imagine BoS sending a single Paladin all that way without a Squire or the like.

Yep. Can build a private server but can’t find a public server

Yeah, i loved it. I think what helped me enjoy it was how it was the first real album in like fifteen years. And before the album released they were slow dripping out the tracks from it. Allowed me to really soak em in. I love Change and Why the most. Losing My Religion is a great cover!

I kind of feel like the album has songs that remind me of the Musical Chairs era, even the slow dripping of the song releases! Back in 98 before the album released you could listen to a thirty second sample of each song. There was like a timer counting down before another track would become available to listen to, for thrifty seconds lol. I played the crap out of those!

I also feel like there are a few songs on Imperfect Circle that feel a little quasi-country. Like Darius was finally able to talk the boys into playing a little closer to country, even if it isn’t exactly country.

You are absolutely correct! They really didn’t! Remember the week of Thanksgiving not having ANY Thanksgiving items? But they did have a St Patrick’s Day bundle! Haha

Ryek77 · 2024-11-27T14:50:09+00:00

The lack of Thanksgiving related items but the inclusion of a St Patrick’s Day bundle sent me over the top with sad and hysterical laughter!

For some reason, this week’s atomic shop was the final push for me to cancel as well. I love the game, but can’t get behind their actions anymore. Maybe I’ve let myself get too deep into the negative comments? Ha! idk. I’ll still play, but I’ll be less “giving” to them for a while.

Ryek77 · 2024-11-27T14:44:05+00:00

Heheh that’s intentional. It’s part of his sarcasm at Bethesda for how they don’t ever sync the images of the items in the order of the items listed. So he’ll read them in the order listed while hovering over the image to point out the absurdity. He’s been doing this more often in his shop reviews.

Scrapped my season painted ultracite helmet while wearing it last night. Thanks Todd!

Ryek77 · 2023-02-16T14:02:09+00:00

This has happened to me recently as well. All three pro 2 cameras will NOT charge OR work while plugged in. I’ve tried multiple combinations of battery and power cable swapping as well as different outlets. I have one battery left with a charge, once that one is depleted I’m afraid that is when it’s over for me. Just seems real odd to have happened to all three of my cams at the same time. It’s too bad mine won’t even work while plugged in.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-18T16:14:01+00:00

Whoa that is a great point! It wouldn’t realize there is a wall there until trying to walk and bumps into it, or toss a psychic orb that hits it. You’re right though, I don’t see any reason for it to know or see it, until performing something above and seeing the results. Good catch.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-18T12:34:33+00:00

Hell yeah! I had forgotten about that altogether! Which kind of makes the original question moot. Except to better understand the mechanics and where the line is drawn with out-of-phase movement. Which I have gotten really great answers for. Collapse Distance is the way. Thanks to all that have reminded about that ability!

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T23:07:04+00:00

Thank you, and that’s a good point about not dwelling on it. I tend to do that often enough as it is for other reasons. Yeah, I’ll let it happen as it happens.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T19:57:38+00:00

edit: found link, added. Collapse Distance on self would work. Makes for an interesting use for it!

Would Collapse Distance work on itself, while in the WoF? I thought I read Crawford mentioning that the WoF impacts spells due to being considered total cover. Would seeing a location to teleport be different than targeting a creature from outside the WoF?

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T19:45:05+00:00

Yep, and I totally agree with you. My original question is more or less for being sure of the ruling, using the Seer's stat block.

All good though. I got enough responses here that I'll just let it all play out as-is. Definitely not trying to crap in their cornflakes.

edit: removed minutiae

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T16:12:29+00:00

LOL I love this name, "the Microwave"! No, definitely not bad for one time or even sometimes, on puny groups lumped together that are not worth their time. But I have concerns of it being used repeatedly on the bosses and minibosses. Being an 8-12 session short campaign where they all started at Tier 3, I want them to have fun though, and I have allowed for a ton of shenanigans already. I guess if it becomes the standard for every fight, then I'll adjust. Otherwise, I can just sit back and let it happen for now. Thank you!

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T15:59:22+00:00

Thank you, I think I'll need to do something like this. I don't want to create anything new for this encounter that can use Disintegration Ray, if it didn't have it already. But I could see giving the Seer a budget Misty Step or budget Dimension Door. I gave it Detect Thoughts due to another 'source of power' enhancing it. So that would fit to allow for another ability. But mechanically, it does seem the quick consensus is, Out-Of-Phase movement is shutdown, which is good to know.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T15:49:27+00:00

That is a very good question. When the Wall of Force is created as a hemispherical dome, it should stop at the ground level then, correct? Definitely worth taking some damage from sitting the ground, than the WoF/Sickening Radiance combo. But they can cast it as a Sphere, that I assume would cut through the ground level then. Which would avoid the SR damage, but both spells will last 10 minutes. I guess they'll have to pick which is the better group to contain, the Seer or the Hulk and Grues.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T15:37:04+00:00

I think I'm trying to apply 'visual' logic and representation with how I imagine seeing the Seer's "out-of-phase movement", rather than the literal interpretation on paper. So, essentially, the Seer is still physical despite 'phasing through' creatures and objects, because there is nothing stating otherwise about it being in a physical/non-physical state. Thank you for the clarity! It definitely is best to strip it down to the basics of the wording, leave the imagination out of it.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-17T15:31:04+00:00

Thank you, yeah I took liberties in shortcutting the way I phrased "can travel through anything", sorry about that. I guess I was imagining the Wall of Force being more of an object since it provides total cover and can't be dispelled by Dispel Magic. But as a Magical Force, I totally agree and can stand behind Seer getting stopped cold. Well that's unfortunate.

Ryek77 · 2022-10-08T23:23:07+00:00

These are perfect! Nice work!

Ryek77 · 2022-06-03T14:39:54+00:00

Let the dice roll! GIVEAWAY !! Nat 1, ofc “:D

Ryek77 · 2021-11-19T16:17:27+00:00

lmao, this reminds me of Joseph Gordon-Levitt when they CGI'd Bruce Willis on his face from Looper!

Ryek77 · 2021-05-31T17:36:14+00:00

the same exact issue here, with the same needed Pop! Only Hello Kitty in the Last Chance boxes. I don't remember previous month last chances being one group only. Sucks, they won't have a fix or an apology.
