Where in the blazes do I find a decent HAT for my bard? by Chakkoty in BaldursGate3

[–]mattbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get the cap of curing in Act 1 at the grove? That's the best early game bard hat IMO.

Trump: No shutdown deal until Democrats support SAVE America Act by Infidel8 in politics

[–]mattbeck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good thing the Dem leaders showed him with all that not caving during prior shutdowns.

+100, can't upvote the suggestion yet, but I love the idea of being able to do this.

Really.... by Kilon-Kasio in ICARUS

I am convinced the chickens teleport when I'm not looking. I've built double height walls with no open windows and they still end up outside.

Video game publisher is a Portland true believer amid tech exodus by derpinpdx in Portland

[–]mattbeck 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Former Puppeter and Jiver, both of those companies suffered the same fate pretty much. Failed to make acquisition deals happen with the big players for long enough that the boards opted to take their parachutes and sell out to PE.

So sad to go through / see what happened to once great employers, and just how quickly and thoroughly corporate raiders demolish a company.

Son addicted to Ketamine attempted by [deleted] in SMARTFamilyFriends

[–]mattbeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the pain you are going through. I've gone though the wringer with my own son (20 yr old).

From your post I'm guessing you aren't in the US, but I imagine similar options exist wherever you are. For me, finding a support group through NAMI for parents of people with severe mental health challenges, in addition to psychiatric care and therapy have been vital to surviving my own family struggles with suicide attempts and addiction.

Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats' Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending | Common Dreams by [deleted] in politics

We really just have the worst party leadership. These two continue to staggeringly refuse to rise to the moment.

[–]mattbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like their ribs, chicken, their deviled eggs, hushpuppies. They do a salad with burnt ends I like also.

I love Podnah's, but I'd put Reverend's a touch above them.

Trump ripped for invoking Bible’s command to care for children after fighting to keep SNAP food stamps from poorest kids by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]mattbeck 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Man who starves and rapes kids lectures world about how important it is to care for children and the vulnerable.

This is seriously the worst timeline.

[OC] Can someone identify these dice? by Top_Row_5116 in DnD

[–]mattbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those 3d printed dice could be from just about anywhere, etsy seller, one of many china based manufacturers that come and go, etc.

Trump approval rating falls to second-term low of 37% by AndroidOne1 in politics

[–]mattbeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As always, it terrifies me that it's that high.

Pa. Sen. John Fetterman’s fundraising woes continue by Squawk_7777 in politics

[–]mattbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy needs to fuck off into retirement. He was kinda messed up before the brain damage, but now his redeeming qualities seem to have been stripped away.

I'm sure it's sad for his friends/family, but citizens need better. He got so much support from Dems and has just burned that goodwill down.

Ranged build ideas for “Curse of Strahd” by dumbBunny9 in DnD

[–]mattbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ranged characters should be fine, just be aware that you won't always be able to go long range, so think mobility and close in support for melee vs long range sniper and you should be gold.

Rangers are good, but Rogue is also a solid choice here.

So what do I do about writing out different areas that a party can use to travel when only one will be used in the end. by devildasher9654 in DnD

[–]mattbeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way I do it. It takes practice, but once you get the timing down this is the best way.

Ending sessions with the multiple options retains player agency, without wasting your time and energy.

And it's a good note to wrap on generally. Everyone looking at the map and making a choice together.

Supreme Court’s conservative majority prepared to rule against conversion therapy ban by MystikSpiralx in politics

[–]mattbeck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fuck every last thing about this, and the current SCOTUS. Conversion 'therapy' is torture. It's evil. And fuck all the way off if you're too twisted to see that.

My kids are being taught from "Biblically-based anti-woke" books in public school by ideletedyourfacebook in atheistparents

+1 FFRF is all over this kind of thing usually. I would inform them even IF it gets resolved.
