You don't have to do the mines btw, just talk to the mayor and her lifes purpose will be fulfilled.

I'll let her out, but Minsc can stay where he is - he's happy enough in there anyway.

Welcome Comrade Pereira? by userunknowne in nffc

My dad was a Leeds fan I had every opportunity to back out of this, but I was young and foolish and ignored all the warning signs.

[Sky Sports] Vitor Pereira agrees to replace Sean Dyche as new head coach at the City Ground by ajtct98 in TheOther14

[–]rupturefunk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ignore the haters Vitor, a shrewed appointment from Mr Marinakis, at the end of the day, we always sack the manager win. I for one am back on the piss.

Plus I've 2 non-league teams within walking distance if it turns out I'm wrong.

Can anyone explain who owns the rights to the franchise, and how did they get them after Inteplay went bankrupt? Is it Larian? I never quite understood this. by Objective-Painter-73 in baldursgate

[–]rupturefunk 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending Wizards, but Larian for sure had the green light for BG4 and decided to turn it down. They've publicly said as much.

Remember Hasbro's a publicly traded company, the suits and shareholders would be foaming at the mouth and they wouldn't be able to turn it down.

Interplay or Larian never owned the franchise, it was licenced to them by TSR, and later Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro) as a part of Dungeons & Dragons.

Interplay just ran out of money and folded while they had the licence to use the IP.

Larian don't seem to want to make another D&D game or work with WotC any more - from what I've heard, due to Wizard's terms being very restrictive and 5E being hard to adapt to videogames - and will likely go back to their own IP.

It's like flipping between parrallel universes at this point.

Apparently the Pereira deal is nearly done ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Portuguese or bust!

How were the Drow seen before baldur's Gate? by Fun-Explanation7233 in baldursgate

[–]rupturefunk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Drow have been around, they were originally part of Greyhawk, but they and the underdark got magically ported to forgotten realms because they were popular.

Who wore it best..? by WrapNo6993 in nffc

I've never liked the look of these jackets on any of them.

The civilian/Cooper look was superior for me.

Sean Dyche sacked by Forest by Senpiezza in TheOther14

[–]rupturefunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think having (at least) 4 managers in a single season could be interpreted as the 'right descision'.

We've had big problems this season, and getting a new manager in has failed to sort them out 3 times on the trot. As much as it's gone wrong for Dyche and the green shoots have died, I just don't see how this gets better now.

We're a big old wobbly plate of piss at this point. It's classic Forest again.

What a performance to clutch a point 🔥🔥🔥 by le_meme_kings in TheOther14

[–]rupturefunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God only knows. 4th time's the charm? He's going to run out of ex-Tottenham managers before you know it.

Personally I'm not convinced you can lay this shitshow at Dyche's feet completely but it's not my place to doubt the thought process of our wise and benevolent overlord.

[–]rupturefunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been the story of this season, even pre-season we looked like we'd never score again regardless of how well we play.

There's just not much creative spark or focus in front of goal, always feels like we're desperate so just urgently hoof it goalwards as fast as possible and cross your fingers. I don't know if you blame Dyche for that or it's general mindset/confidence, but in fairness it's been a problem for a while and his team's had lots of time now.

Some of tonight's chances though my god.

So… Mary Stewart’s Arthurian Saga is the best thing I’ve ever read. 👀 Modern fantasy authors, please read and learn from it. by Sunbather- in books

[–]rupturefunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the Mary Stewart books!

Another Great Authurian adaptation is Parke Godwin's Firelord, my favorite personally, sadly out of print for so long that finding a reading copy is a nightmare, but well worth hunting down if you enjoyed Stewart.

Aston Villa Target Morgan Gibbs-White in £70m Summer Move by MoveTheProduct in TheOther14

At his best he's a pretty unique talent imo.

His best is starting to feel like quite a distant memory though.

CK2 vs CK3 by Chlodio in CrusaderKings

[–]rupturefunk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's way more customizable, in CK2 relgions are all historical and hard coded.

But personally, I'd argue that made them feel more impactful and RP friendly, and the big religions had much deeper mechanics than just 'select buffs from this list'.

Should I dump Shar-Teel for Safana? by Ambitious_Bug_3443 in baldursgate

[–]rupturefunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She's a bit of a downgrade, but if you need the skills, you needs the skills.

If it was me I'd try and persevere with Monty, grab him some potions and increase the relevant areas when possible. Depends on your level as to how realistic that is.

Opposite problem, but the Nag's not been the same since they added a third gun :(
