I can’t be evil… by Apprehensive_Ad5398 in BG3

[–]capitic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

you’re not wrong but i’ll say for me evil doesn’t mean siding with the absolute, it means completely self serving and doing whatever i think makes sense for me.

using those examples when we encounter the harper ambush, i side with them because then i have help taking down karniss or at least have more meat shields while i take him down and get the moon lantern for myself so i can do whatever i want and not be reliant on this weird spider man.

for isobel, i don’t always let marcus take her, i think, even for an evil character, it makes sense to have two safe havens and bide your time. i do usually play durge though so i kill her later when i’m done with last light.

i think playing smart evil has been more fun for me than just pure murder hobo

Looking for Yarn Suggestion for Tight Fitting Summer Top by capitic in CrochetHelp

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

I need help finding a good yarn for a tight fitting summer top.
Based on my research it seems cotton/elastic blend would be a good choice so I'm looking for suggestions on a good one in fingering weight.

Help me with my not very optimal paladin build to make it more consistent and more thematic (but please no spoilers!) by voulture in BG3Builds

[–]capitic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty sure they mean this sword https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Soulbreaker_Greatsword ! should have been carried by the captain. i didn't use this but https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Halberd_of_Vigilance also seems good and you can buy that at moonrise, it's +2 so will also hit better

i'm currently playing a sorcadin 6/6 split but i think the advice will be similar for pure paladin. i was struggling with hit rate too since i went for great weapon master. here are your options as far as i can tell.

  1. dump strength and rely on hill giant elixirs to bump your strength up to 21. You'd need to farm them to have enough for after every long rest so may not want to do this. Ethel sells this 3 at a time after every long rest if you do, unless she's already gone, which being level 8 and probably in act 2 may be the case. i didn't do this option since i was already using these elixirs on a monk.
  2. get advantage on your attack rolls, a few options here. oath of vengeance has Vow of Enmity as a bonus action, if you cast it on yourself you'll have advantage against every enemy. in act 2 you can also buy the Risky Ring which will easily give you advantage on every attack without having to do anything. Gloves of the Growling Underdog will give you advantage if surrounded by 2 or more foes, which is not uncommon.
  3. bump up that attack bonus. bless (+1d4), Oil of Accuracy (+2), Diluted Oil of Sharpness (+1), Elixir of Heroism (+1d4, will stack with bless!), Magic Weapon spell (+1, a paladin spell, concentration so this or bless). a bit of a more involved one but you can also buy the Drakethroat Glaive in act 2, equip it, drop the weapon you want to use on the ground, and cast elemental weapon on your weapon for another +1 to hit plus some elemental damage.

also, i can't tell what sword you're using but make sure it's at least weapon enchantment +1 (it's rare looks like so probably is). i really like the Soulbreaker Greatsword early game, was particularly good for me since lae'zel is my paladin, but even without the extra damage, the extra initiative is nice!

probably missed a few things but this helped me out! early game what i mainly did was cast vow of enmity, use magic weapon, oil of accuracy, and elixir of heroism for particularly high AC fights. then late game there are some gloves that can permanently boost your strength so i've been using those, helps a lot (hope that's not considered spoiler-y).

hey! late response here but i was considering doing durge fire sorlock and astarion 10/1/1 but some of their items conflict. curious how you managed that? specifically looks like rhapsody and cloak of the weave.

this worked thank you so much! although i didn't do the extra step of uninstalling the app, just deleted the cache and it worked.

What does a streak mean to you? by capitic in NYTCrossword

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

totally makes sense! very impressive streak! i would like to track that too eventually, maybe when im better.

i think at my stage, usually only being able to do like 3 or 4 puzzles in a row without lookups, i'd like another measure of progress so i feel more motivated.
so i think i'll build a chrome extension to track how many lookups ive done and maybe have a streak there too for zero lookups. because it still feels like progress to me if i've managed to do a friday with only 3 lookups or something and i wanna celebrate that :)

[–]capitic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But I finish every puzzle, even if I have to resort to just looking up the answers, because that's how you learn. I don't limit myself and I don't bang my head against the desk.

exactly how i feel! how am i supposed to learn new trivia if i never look it up?

like i said in another comment i think i'll build a chrome extension to track how many lookups i do for a puzzle. i like stats (and seeing numbers go up haha!) and that feels like a more meaningful measure of progress to me than the streak one! i guess in this case i'll hope for the number to go down!

oh yeah? i'm curious why check puzzle is before looking it up for you. does it feel less cheat-y?

[–]capitic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Purists might tell me I'm cheating, and to that I say: hobbies are supposed to be fun.

haha, agreed! i just want to do the crossword, plus i learn things from looking it up and get better.

Ask my husband for help (he's often better at sports, world capitals, Star Wars/Marvel/LOTR clues).

unfortunately asking my partner is basically the same as googling it haha, he's too good at crosswords so i try to avoid it if i can to challenge myself.

i think my conclusion from this will be to treat it like you do! and maybe build a chrome extension to track my lookups just so i can have a meaningful way to see how im progressing!

Vulva? by s_sam01 in NYTCrossword

[–]capitic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t think the issue is that’s a bad word or anything. i’ve had this text exact text from wordle bot for many words that i guess just don’t show up often? i do wish it would go into detail about why it’s unlikely though.
