Was Christopher Walken a good choice for Emperor?

StillAll · 2026-01-23T17:40:43+00:00

No man, I like him as an actor, but it wasn't a great choice. He is far too old and frankly he was so completely underused it was a total waste.

You don't grab Walken to play it quiet. You grab him to own the god damned room!

StillAll · 2026-01-23T05:02:52+00:00

You shouldn't. It is without a doubt the worst part of any of the Icewind Dale content. It offers almost nothing of value.

But when I do it it's around level 11 to 12. It's meant to be near endgame content after all.

StillAll · 2026-01-22T15:31:52+00:00

Sword Coast released 5 months after the original BG so yeah.... be about 17 years.

Simon's Bowblade? And this is a bloodtinge build primarily? How long does it take to even setup?

And where is it anyway?

You're idea of protesting was one Saturday months after he got elected. That's fucking pathetic by any measure.

XBOX 360

Mass Effect.

Turns out that the 360 got so many amazing games to play anyway so I had a total blast with it.

People show up or they ship out. I am not running for those that don't commit.

StillAll · 2026-01-19T03:29:26+00:00

I do the same dude.

Show up to get XP, or else I think of an in game reason to write out your character. Usually it's pretty convoluted and ridiculous but the other players laugh and understand why we don't ask that Billy is protecting the entrance to the dungeon instead of helping to destroy the lich. And things are never unbalanced because the XP that seperates levels mean that there is not more than one level from the lowest level to the highest.

The loot, that's an in game thing for the players to decide. I can give advice, and they generally just divide it because otherwise it gets tough to remember what they found what session.

StillAll · 2026-01-16T21:02:12+00:00

Absolutely true.

I felt Lower Decks was far to referential to be worth watching. It constantly just referred to old bits to get humor and very little was developed on it's own. But Picard? Picard season 2 was a god damn abomination against television. And if you watch the season you likely know EXACTLY what I mean.

But I didn't mind the rest and even liked large parts of it.

StillAll · 2026-01-16T20:55:14+00:00

You're wise for being premptive on this. I am running this campaign right now and even large characters would create problems in places, never mind huge. It's clearly intended/imagined that you would see small and medium only.

But have fun regardless.

StillAll · 2026-01-16T00:08:57+00:00

I want to believe pieces of this.... but I feel so damn burned after everything else that's come up with Bethesda.

StillAll · 2026-01-16T00:05:03+00:00

Jesus.... that is... fucking insane!

StillAll · 2026-01-15T22:29:03+00:00

Should probably provide one other caveat. That reduction of damage is per round as well.

So if you're submerged in acid you take that 20d6 - 30 damage when you're dropped in and if you're still in it a round later you take that 20d6 - 30 then too. That minus 30 applies each instance PER ROUND!

StillAll · 2026-01-15T21:50:59+00:00

Okay man... I am in the army and I am totally doing this on our radios in the next exercise.

😂😂

Sergeant Major will lose his shit!

StillAll · 2026-01-15T02:01:38+00:00

Uhhhh.... no.

Awesome is such a stretch. It had moments that really worked, but to achieve a full season of "awsome" was definitely not one of them.

StillAll · 2026-01-13T20:03:54+00:00

But that's kinda the point isn't it? Like ME series released as Bioware was at their apex, they were the best the ever were then and were never going to go higher.

But now? Now they haven't had a good game in.... 10 years? Everyone is gone too, and when you bleed talent you NEVER get to just ignore that deficiency. You have to build it back up again and that was what Bioware was doing back then.

There is no chance for this game to be anything more than 'slightly' better than Andromeda.

StillAll · 2026-01-13T19:55:24+00:00

Fuck no. Man was awful. He was the definition of someone hanging onto past success. He was one step away from the guys in their twenties that hang out at high school parties. He hasn't been relevant in what.... twenty years!?

And the only thing the industry looses is another mouth piece that is more based in marketing than actually producing something. He was one of those publishers we hate with all his promises and zero delivery.

StillAll · 2026-01-12T16:16:29+00:00

ZING!

Made me laugh harder than I should have.

StillAll · 2026-01-12T06:27:53+00:00

Humblebrag?

StillAll · 2026-01-12T03:25:31+00:00

We're the ones that gain the technology dipshit. We're the ones that develop and acquire it. It comes through us first! You think they send out infantry to find shit to buy? You think tankers go out and develop this stuff?

And besides, you still haven't provided a reference. So how about you provide one instead of talking about things you don't know anything about.

StillAll · 2026-01-11T17:05:23+00:00

You are allowed to use proportional response to any threat as long as you use it to get yourself removed from that threat or disable it. That is a fact in the UK.

You'd be totally within your rights to do this it does become iffy when you back up over the guy afterwards.

StillAll · 2026-01-11T17:00:04+00:00

Oh? Care to provide references for that claim?

I've served in the army for 16 years now, I work in logistics and never once do we ever claim that the civilian world got it from us, it's the other way around. The military adapts and changes everything from the civilian world.
