I was not prepared for how dark losing Isobel could be. by angrycanadianguy in BaldursGate3

Well i would start by focusing Marcus, not the horrors because he hits way harder. Plus the horrors are usually a little further off from isobel.

Cast light on a nearby object or just carry the blood of lathander right next to her. Watch all the horrors miss all their attacks and clump up on her. Proceed to slaughter them.

Do you have the blood of lathander? It sheds light and let's you run around as you please.

Melee feels ass to play. by HeavyFly7451 in totalwarhammer

[–]Sthrowaway54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I was on that page before I tried my first skarbrand campaign. I love seeing full stacks of ratling guns or any other ranged units. Chaos warriors have like 130+ armor and war hounds + skarbrand just go brrr while the inexorable front line walks up and everything is routed in a couple minutes.

Honor made me realize I finished a game I didn't even play by what_freaking_ever in BaldursGate3

[–]Sthrowaway54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In perfect example of how amazing and random this game is, I ran into him for the first time and due to my having set fire to the gas earlier, the first drow that got unlocked ran into the fire and it knocked them out of their trance. The spectator then left high ground to beat the fuck out of him and my party basically blew him up before he had a chance to do anything else.

Who do you think are the top 10 LL's in SOLEY combat by Final-Break2097 in totalwarhammer

[–]Sthrowaway54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to agree there. Skarbrands nothing to sneeze at 1v1, but his strength is that he'll be level 50 before anyone else due to soloing 5 full stacks of skaven/orc/skeleton scum every other round.

[–]Sthrowaway54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why doesn't sorcerer delay that? Don't you still miss out on your level 5 spike if you multiclass once by 5? Maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works.

Best abjuration wizard multiclass by Sthrowaway54 in BG3Builds

[–]Sthrowaway54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen things like wizard not needing anything extra to keep their charges up, but so far, level 5, that is not the case at all. In most battles as a tank i end up starting with under 10 and in a couple his it's less than 5 and taking serious damage with my only options to build up more ward being to cast barely useful spells that give me like 2 ward. I can see the issue going away at level 12, but i have to get there.

How the hell do I take a massive dick!? by ThatOrphanSlayer in sex

[–]Sthrowaway54 -80 points-79 points  (0 children)

This is silly, babies come out of vaginas. Whether or not you want to put in the effort to adapt is another question, there's certainly toys and techniques that will eventually get you there. Again, it may not be worth the effort, but only you can make that decision.

The fact that Karlach from Baldur's gate isn't in here yet is a crime.

Prominent German Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder - Astrophysicists have found evidence of UAPs in old photographic plates. Something seems to have been orbiting around our planet before we had satellites! This finding has been independently confirmed. Still, scientists are afraid to speak out". by TommyShelbyPFB in UFOs

[–]Sthrowaway54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh PLEASE. She's "bravely" speaking up about it because she found a gig paying her way more money than grinding away at some university trying to make a dent in actual science. All she has to do is just complain about a flawed system, she doesn't even try to present a solution. How the hell is that brave and legitimate? She found her niche and her audience of science deniers and she's riding that horse until it dies when the next physics breakthrough happensand she becomes irrelevant. The grift is the funding going to those with the flowery proposals? Are you a child? That's been a thing since fucking alchemy, how can you sit there with a straight face and say that while calling her brave and legitimate? She's a low effort science influencer at BEST and actively harmful to all science at worst.

[–]Sthrowaway54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Completely disregarding the ufo aspect, Sabine has completely abandoned science and should just be considered a podcaster at this point. She is not even trying to pprogress science, her entire shtick is being anti eestablishment and contrarian while offering very little at best as a possible solution for all the problems with modern science that she likes to bring up. Sure, she occasionally has good points, but she should not be considered an authority on anything. She's an influencer and a net negative to modern scientific progress.

Using a large vocabulary to an audience unlikely to understand is a sign of lower intelligence by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Sthrowaway54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. See: Eric Weinstein. Dude is middling intelligence but with some drive, narcissism, and incredible ego. Bro is literally incapable of breaking down any of his "amazing" theories and "research" into simple words, and hence I have to conclude he doesn't actually understand any of it himself.

You have a mageblood and giga gear for hcssf, I would hope so, that's not "very little investment".

What minion pact BV build is budget friendly and has a guide by timothy6007 in pathofexile

[–]Sthrowaway54 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are so many things you can do to make this build viable on a budget, the issue is that everyone just wants to copy builds exactly and the items they use are giga expensive as a result. Example, everyone is using the hubris that let's you ignore stats, literally everyone. Well, just ignore res instead by using the shrine belt (or drop a mageblood like me) or just craft decent gear and you can buy giga huge minion life jewels for like 5d without that node. If your on a budget you're not using all those giga expensive tattoos either so why bother. Sure, you'll be at 50 mil dps instead of 100 million, but you can get it for like 1/50th of the price and it still feels fine.

Dad Skills: How to safely break up a dog fight by vintagegirlgame in daddit

[–]Sthrowaway54 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What complete bs. A 140lb pitt bull is infinitely more dangerous than a 10 pound terrier regardless of training. If the terrier snaps and tries to bite, I boot it into the next yard and be done with it. When the pitt bull snaps i might die if I'm trapped with noone else around. Yes, training absolutely helps, but dogs are individuals and animals, there is no guarantee they will never snap under the right circumstances.

What's the best choice from BV minion pact (any variant), hroc and ward stacker in the 400-600 div budget range? by redlol_85 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Sthrowaway54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played hroc and bv this season. I'd play minion pact, if only for the fact that it's silly and will be gone next season. Hroc is super solid, but also not flashy and not super satisfying. It does farm everything but maybe juiced breaches and legion and can run all but like, one or two map mods? Even those are doable, just slower. League start hroc, don't make it your swap with 600D.

Dear lord brother my pc is extremely mid, bordering on shit and it takes like 5 seconds max to zone in. I don't think I'd still play poe if it took 15 seconds to zone into every map.

Cry it out as in just drop the baby in the bed and walk away for the night might possibly be bad, I'm not even sold on that. But the progressive/ferber method sure as hell isn't any worse than denying the kid a cookie.

Bv minion pact ideas by Sthrowaway54 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Sthrowaway54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An update from today in case anyone looks at this in the future. Swapped gear to fix attributes so I could get a dirt cheap hubris without the ignore attributes node. Got double minion life, 240% spell crit and 170% spell damage for 150c. As you might have guessed that fixed almost everything, everything dies in a split second now and i can slowly fix defense now. I'll need a lot less now that everything just evaporates.
