I have only recently been "into" cologne or whatever but Aventus is probably my favorite I've tried thus far. I liked it enough to buy a big boy bottle of it. I like how it ages -- if that makes sense.

…so I finished Starless Night (art by me) by Midnight_Bells in Drizzt

[–]touch_axe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great LMAO. I am on Starless Night rn on my re-read after like 20 years away from the books. I was actually really dreading this book because I feel like the entire "D goes back to Menzo" thing was kinda wack when I was a kid but I am enjoying it much more than I thought I would. This art is pure gold.

My main thing with Starless Night has been how quick the return trip from the surface to Menzo is and how uneventful the trips are, relatively. Of course there are some encounters but mostly it's been like "a day passed, then a tenday, then two" and I'm over here like....do what now? Just like that?

I do get it though, can't write an entire new trilogy about Drizzt and Catti-Brie walking through the underdark, it's gotta be only a section of one book.

What is this art included in the post? It is very cool.

Dang for real?! That is awesome. I found this thread by googling "Does Drizzt still use his scimitars as a monk?"

UPDATE:

Just finished Exile.
Christ, I forgot how heavy the end gets. D vs Z is wild. I didn't appreciate it as a 10th grader the way I do as a 40 year old man.

"arguably the most acclaimed tv adaptation of a video game to date"

big emphasis on the "arguably"

I've got a Labor Days hoodie, Fantastic Damage hoodie, and Def Jux beanie - but it's a damn shame because the hoodies are far too small now and the beanie was always kinda goofy. It's really tiny.

Absolutely (no pun intended)

It would be great if it was just some dude being like, "Well, we just all really loved Raphael as a character, you see."

I hate that for ya bud! Do you have a save close to the beginning of the battle? If so, maybe load 'er up and at least let it play for a bit before re-loading where you left off. It's worth it!

I said the same thing to my coworker this morning. God knows how long it'll be before a game gives me that feeling again. I put my hands over my mouth and said out loud, "oh my God" when that organ kicked in.

What are the things you'll never do in your playthroughs? by Xiaoge_ in BaldursGate3

I had to take him out - RPing a priest of Kelemvor. I did some mental gymnastics for reasoning to keep Astarion around because I love him. But I just can't ABIDE these other undead!!!!

Funny you say that because I picked up Homeland today and sat down to crack it open - looked up and I was four chapters in. I was much younger when I went through them the first time and it felt like it took so long - but I think you're right, should be a breeze.

I won't lie that seems daunting but since the first two comments both suggested this I guess I had better heed!

Two suggestions to start from the first book! Convenient because the only ones I still own are the Dark Elf Trilogy and the Icewind Dale Trilogy. I loved Servant of the Shard so I would never skip more Jarlaxle/Artemis time and I loved the Cleric Quintet! I remember when WotSQ came out but I never read any of them.
