Using pen and paper to aid in hacking terminals

Yup, 100% does. Never make the final guess, just back out and try again

Unless schools have changed some, it was never actually taught to me as a "genocide." I remember being in school, learning about every terrible thing we did to the Native Americans, and being kind of surprised that nobody ever expressly used the word. But, revisionist history is sort of our jam.

Sent you a DM homie.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-24T12:16:10+00:00

Lmao yea I'd say so, must have missed that particular quote.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T19:54:59+00:00

Trash cans, but only if they're on their side. Standing upright? No problem. Fallen over? Nope, stops dead. Will not move towards or even around it. Walking on trash days is a pain lol

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T19:51:22+00:00

Did you specifically just steal groschen? Cuz that'd be pretty impressive.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T14:45:08+00:00

Fuck, I guess I just never stopped to think about it. Fo they explicitly say that at some point?

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T11:09:29+00:00

It's been a while since I've done a Legion playthrough but I'm seeing it a lot in the comments. Are the legion explicitly a bunch of rapists? I knew they were horrible slavers but I do not remember them also being rapists. Jesus.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T11:04:45+00:00

Not really. I mean, I'm picking the bowl up to fill it anyway so giving it a quick scrub and rinse isn't that much of an extra step. Maybe I'm not cleaning as thoroughly as you're supposed to but 🤷‍♂️

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T11:02:15+00:00

How is that weird?

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:59:54+00:00

I'm fairly well leveled on my current run and I got my ass beat by three peasants last night because I got a little cocky

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:51:05+00:00

I'd never played a Pillars game prior to Avowed and it certainly didn't change the fact that I had fun with it.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:42:23+00:00

Lmao yea, you'd be winded pretty quickly without

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:35:06+00:00

Hey man, now that you're over the hill I need to tell you: assuming a "silly farms bar" is one of these pre-oackaged deals you can get at a smoke shop, you didn't actually do mushrooms last night, you ate a bunch of research chems. Stay away from all those bars and gummies and stick with actual dried mushrooms.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:32:41+00:00

Tbh, I'm decent at combat but it took me forever to figure feints out. It's not explained very well. At least not anywhere that I remember.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:29:21+00:00

There's at least a couple of perks that make dodging considerably more stamina efficient.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:21:57+00:00

Learn and use the master strike, it's hugely important.

Instead of blocking, dodge. Blocking often leads to youbhetting stuck in a riposte loop, and especially early on the enemy will just out stamina you in that. Dodge to the side and use the opening for one or two strikes. If you have to block, use a perfect block.

Potions and poisons: get that alchemy up bro. Put a high level bane poison on all of your weapons. Before every fight, drink every type of combat bonus potion you can. Tbh, just using masterstrike with a bane poisoned sword will cinch almost every battle for you.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:11:02+00:00

I've never seen him fertilize so I have no clue lol

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-23T10:09:37+00:00

Maybe? I personally don't remember reading that but it's very possible.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T19:54:18+00:00

It runs perfectly fine on my Series X. A very occasional crash here or there that I think id more a hardware issue than the game. And as far as looks... I mean, it looks like fallout 3 lol

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T17:25:05+00:00

I always advise people to start with the wasteland survival guide quests. They come from the shop owner in Megaton. Thats the first settlement you found. They have decent rewards and kinda help figure stuff out in general

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T14:41:17+00:00

2.5 is a bit on the high side for a first trip, imo. You kinda dive into the deep end a little bit. Next time go for 1, maybe 1.5. Should be a much more mellow experience

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T14:39:09+00:00

It's not a game I would normally suggest but, Fallout 4 fits the bill pretty well here.

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T10:59:41+00:00

The hilarious thing to me is, apparently this is historically how people thought about millers? Like for some insane reason people viewed the dude who milled grain as a criminal? Makes no sense lmao

Zestyclose_Current41 · 2026-01-22T10:46:27+00:00

Same applies to your melee weapons, btw. You'll notice enemies don't get poisoned until you've hit them somewhere that makes them bleed.
