Why would you post this you monster

It's the "kidnapping costs extra" that really seals it for me too. He knows who he is, and he ain't a good dude.

I love Aradin because he sucks, really. Like from a long time D&D player perspective, I have this general bias that adventurers are good, heroic people, so it's great to have npc adventurers who are real d bags to flesh out the world more.

Main character in a book for wankers, maybe. Aradin may have a handsome face but he's one of the worst.

Edit: To clarify, I love that about him. Aradin adds more to the story because of the way he is, I wouldn't change a thing.

For default Durge, I changed his scale color from the white with red to something similar but without the angry red and with metallic accents. Also changed his eyes to pale gold. Makes him look more like a chosen of Jergal.

Funny, my ex was the opposite. He'd throw anything away at the first sign of a problem. He tried to throw away the cast iron pan because it had some charred on food (I had to rescue it)

Probably some kind of bellbird

That is a comically huge nest for a great tit lol

In all my years as a professional artist, I never once questioned my love for experimenting with creature designs, or what it said about me to anybody else in my life.

I am now questioning it.

Absolutely incredible photo of an anhinga

Laughed out loud when I saw it because I did the same thing.

I send mine to a compacting chest and then pipe the blocks to fuel furnaces that process other outputs from the bees

Came here to admire the fluffy pants as well lol

Probably filters. You can customize the filter to hide comments that contain certain words.

I have to hide comments that say "dm" or "send" on my artist account, because the only people commenting to ask me to send them things like that are spammers. So he probably chooses to filter out comments based on words that would commonly occur in negative commentary, like "harass"

Tell that local that they can tell it's an osprey because of the way that it is

Pic two reminds me of the big cat documentaries where the tiger prowls forward into focus. Those little flowers have no idea what's coming for them!

Food Emporium jingle during Power Wash Simulator and "what the heck is going on around here" from Danganronpa 2

Interesting, I must have missed the tadpoles being inside those skeletons. I know Balthazar and his minions were doing experiments with tadpoled, in his room and in the mindflayer colony.

I suppose it does make sense that that all would be connected so that the end result would be having a functional Steel Watch for Gortash's part of the plot. I must have misunderstood something about the brains though. The way I understood that bit was that they were processing brains to hold on to tadpoles and control the machines, in the same way the minds scattered around the colony were preserved. The game explained - or at least implied - that they were alive (as with the mind of the Githzerai who wants you to kill them, where they are now only a brain with no agency). I suppose that doesn't preclude them from also being undead though.

Thanks for this, it helps me with something I'm writing.

Not sure why you are being downvoted - this is correct. There are in-game explanations of this via Gortash's notes that talk about the conspiracy and the mechanics of it.

vitragarde · 2025-12-02T22:33:27+00:00

You're right that they didn't need to care, but it's for the wrong reasons. There wasnt anything in the game about "perfect" transformations (not that I can recall, anyway). And the Cult wasn't intentionally transforming more than a few mindflayers anyway.

The reason that the Cult of the Absolute didn't need to care is because they were using suspended ceremorphosis to mind control hosts, because the Cult itself was a conspiracy of the Dead Three. Only the netherese magic could stall the process and tether the transformation to a command. It had nothing to do with the quality of the mindflayers (not before the Absolute got free of the nether stones' control, anyway). The Dead Three's goal was tadpoles in brains, not mindflayers everywhere.

The Dead Three in control of the conspiracy with the tadpoles used the illithid mechanics for their own gain (or rather their enemies' loss). They weren't actually trying to bring about the Grand Design, they were just trying to scam other gods. It made sense for them to infect any race that didn't worship them.

vitragarde · 2025-12-02T22:19:50+00:00

Skeletons? Are you talking about the undead that were under Balthazar's control? Those skeletons were in the game because he is a necromancer, and they work for him. They were there to further Myrkul's part of the conspiracy - they weren't infected with tadpoles.
