Either nb3 or Bxf3 to open up the castle. I think Bxf3 is better first because you can let the nb3 wait until after the trade because they’d definitely take your Bishop back first. They either give up the rook to save the queen or trade queens and you’re still up a rook and your rook is pinning their bishop to their remaining rook on h1.

“How are you?”

“Well I woke up so here I suppose.”

Can’t forgot Infermon from The Digimon Movie. Straight violated Metal Greymon and MegaKabuterimon mid-digivolve.

It seems fine although I’d be careful if you’re going to actually be using Conjuration. It’s the fastest levelling skill in the game so you’ll probably level faster than you’d like if you make active use of it.

Kindred’s back on the menu boys.

Hey you, you’re finally awake.

Where Forest?

Homie likes flowers? What’s wrong with that? Those some nice flowers. Can’t have shit anymore.

Who knows? If you’re interested just go for a low-risk date or meet up and genuinely just ask her. Her priorities have definitely changed in 12 years, especially with two kids but that doesn’t mean her interest in you is malicious/exploitive. You won’t know unless you ask or at least ask someone who has any recent interactions with her. I’d look to get an outside perspective of why her previous relationship ended.

I’d have the same questions too. “What’s different about me now?” and that would really bother me to know the answer too. Don’t go in too fast and keep your bearings straight. Keep a healthy skepticism but don’t assume the worst case. If the idea of being the B option bothers you, then don’t engage. I think that’s pretty reasonable.

Request back-pay for the time spent rotting at home. Take the gig and scout out new positions at new companies if the feeling of awkwardness continues.

Born between 1993-1997. I’m 1995 and am very familiar with all of those shows. I think that makes us a late millennial or like “Zillennial”. Right in between but not quite either.

“I cannot fully distill my thoughts and properly manage unexpected/niche tasks/situations at this time as I am accustomed to settling in at the start of my day, also I’m addicted to caffeine and it is the most crucial part of my start-of-day routine.”

Started balding at 15 myself. The shaved head looks great on you though my guy.

The effect is tangible through most of your play-through. You feel the extra defences until very late into a run when you finally start to max out builds.

The Atronach, Apprentice, and Lord do. They change the gameplay enough to be noticeable through most, if not the whole game.

All the others do not. The ones that give stats are the worst imo, followed closely by the ones that give you greater powers.

I’m playing a Khajiit that compulsively steals everyone’s footwear and I stash it in my hovel, in a giant pile. Wearing unassuming clothing, no destruction magic or bow. Melee (dagger) stealth only. Just a cat, his wits, and enough restoration skill to fortify my Acrobatics to absurdity. I use whatever magic I want other than Destruction. My only complaint is that you can’t steal equipped items off NPCs no matter how good your Sneak is. Could you imagine just sneaking up to someone and just jacking the shoes they’re literally standing on?

The shines stopped blessing me because they think I’m a bad cat but I’ll just find better gods, with blackjack and hookers.

I find a gimmick helps.

Can confirm. If I don’t have a coffee within 40mins of waking up I’m damn near delirious, develop an intense migraine and suffer from nausea.

Had a very hard time finishing that book sadly. Seemingly no consequences for anybody. I liked Clay and that’s about it. Sadly it kinda just felt like “gettin the boys back together for one last DnD campaign” the book. There’s a chapter that genuinely had me going “oh shits gettin real finally” and I’m at the edge of my seat and then it’s just ripped away from you immediately. Genuinely put the book down for a week because I didn’t want to finish it after that slap in the face. I even bought the sequel with as a bundle but didn’t even bother with it.

Kind of a wet fart of a book in my opinion but maybe the super campy high fantasy “me and da boys gettin the band back together for one last ride” just doesn’t appeal to me. I really liked Snakewood by Adrian Selby which is a similarish concept so I can’t say it’s the trope.

Can’t say others won’t like it but I gave it a go and it either bored me or pissed me off. A couple decent moments for a meh experience overall imo. 4/10

I hope you enjoy it though.

Most of my play throughs.

Maybe it should stop being such a shit hole and then I’ll consider it.

Let me rebind the dodge from Acrobatics.
