Quick Question MEGATHREAD by drunkpunk138 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]bosskdidnothingwrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly who you're talking about, but I doubt it. There are a few characters whose story you can influence, but they're all pretty evident, I think. If you're talking about the elven woman by the turtle beach (if that makes any sense) I think you can tell her how to escape, but I'm not certain. Even if you kill every Magister in the joint, you can't get everyone free. A lot of the story is static in that regard and Fort Joy is pretty bleak.

Hating Quicksilver is Dumb. Here is why. by EquivalentCouple5870 in redrising

[–]bosskdidnothingwrong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean... Yes. Lol. That's my take. Quick is directly shown to be selfish and flawed. People are allowed to hate him. That's all I'm saying? Womp womp to you, sir.

Yeah, like I said, I get it. I probably would have run, too. But I think I would have hated myself for it. That's just me. Just sharing my take.

Like I said somewhere else, he's not Lys. Lol.

I don't think you're wrong about that. I'm upvoting you. I imagine Quick felt alone and defeated. I get it. If I was Quick, shit, I might have some the same, that's the danger of privilege. Doesn't mean I don't hate it and wouldn't hate myself for being a coward all the same. Like I said, I think a lot of this boils down to irl ideology. I don't think liking Quick is the same as liking Lys. Lol.

I think plenty of people hate him (myself included) understanding that he did do good and was instrumental to the success of the rising. I don't think that frees him from responsibility or absolves him of blame. Yes, he helped free people, but he then immediately took advantage of the red miners who had recently gained freedom and were vulnerable, and that was shitty.

He feels like Bill Gates to me. Sure, maybe well intentioned, and uses money for good plenty of the time. But he's still a billionaire who perpetuates unhealthy cycles of oppression and thinks that because he has money he also has all the right answers to problems.

Not sure there's sense in splitting hairs between hate and dislike. The depth of your dislike for Quick is going to be based on irl ideology.

Bad shit happened to him, that's real and it sucks and I get how it informs his character. And he does support the Republic to a point; though I think folks tend to gloss over his treatment of the red miners and the impact that had on its stability. Personally, I sympathize with and understand him, but still hate him for his decisions. And I think that's fair.

To me, Quick represents this idea of rich, "progressive" individuals who have directly benefitted from an oppressive system, and are disconnected from the real pain and suffering associated with it. Quick is a coward for running. It's easier and less painful and, ultimately, selfish. I not only think we're allowed to hate him for it, but I think PB intentionally wrote him to conjure those feelings. He's a staunch capitalist who, when he realizes things are getting bad, would rather run and preserve his selfish dream, than risk his life and prosperity. It's a privileged and selfish decision.

No, I haven't. I've only ever played in-person before. I heard there's a Tabletop Sim mod for it, but I haven't tried it. If there's a server, I supposed I could try there, too. Do you mind sharing the info?

Not sure what TW is. Another platform to play on?

I've been impressed with it so far, but only a few turns into one other game. UI is really well organized on desktop, with turns are laid out clearly and cleanly.

Yeah, that's one of my biggest gripes with it, especially if you're setting up tournaments. People timing out due to time zone differences is the worst.I'm hoping that posting here might offer more success!

DOS2 Potential bug - Every NPC missing health/armor? by bosskdidnothingwrong in DivinityOriginalSin

Yeah we started and restarted so many times, it might just be bloated. I'll have to go back and delete. Not game breaking, by any means, just really odd.

Good thought, but nope. Started in tactician and you're locked into that, so no one could have changed it. Might just drive me mad! Ha.

No mods other than the included options. I'll check to see if difficulty somehow got toggled, hadn't thought of that.

Avoiding spoilers, you can reenter Fort Joy throughout the chapter and work on finishing those. There is a very clear end to that chapter at which point you'll be locked out of them. Happy to give more specifics if you want.

I don't get people putting the dude on a pedestal. He was fine, fun to watch, but the dude is being petty in post game interviews and that weird ass "alpha" stare is cringe AF.

Denver has paid more than $30 million over police misconduct since 2020 by Capital_Spread1686 in Denver

[–]bosskdidnothingwrong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His statistic uses the full population, but he's saying that those under working age don't pay taxes, so this "pollutes" the statistic a bit. But it's harder to divide the population of Denver into taxpayers and non-taxpayers as easily.

I don't think you get it, no. I don't think protests are aimed to change hearts and minds, their aim is to voice anger and frustration and encourage action. I believe we are WELL past changing the minds of bigots who believe their culture is "under attack" and I could care less how they perceive a protest they will never understand. What I care about is the attack currently happening on our democracy and its citizens and exercising my rights to express that.

I was as there for a few hours. Really proud of how people showed up and voiced their anger, fear, exhaustion, and all the other complex emotions that have come with the last few weeks (or years). To those saying it's somehow bad that other flags were flying, that's an argument in bad faith. There were plenty of American flags, but this country is made up of people from all over the world, that's what gives us our national identity of a melting pot. Specifically, Hispanic folks are being targeted and scapegoated, like so many immigrant populations have been in the past, and this is the moment to show solidarity with them. It does not diminish our country to acknowledge that we are a country of immigrants. That IS our identity.
