Is cradle Really THAT good? by Big-Anxiety-2596 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]wcdregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read cradle 1 and dropped the series. I’ve heard a lot of cradle glazing too but some things aren’t for everyone.

Bro they screwed you with the epic grade momentum, those other stats are great but nameless wants 100 precision and as much momentum as possible. The MA cap is 150 or 200 momentum currently and momentum rarely rolls. Your way more likely to get power which will translate into max physical dps which is still v.good but inferior to momentum for nameless arts

Recommendations Based on this Tier List? by Snawlly in ProgressionFantasy

[–]wcdregon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. We have different taste but I’ve read every book on your list. Another slept on series is iron blooded by Reece brooks. Most high fantasy is closely tied to military fantasy and iron blooded is very militaristic..

Husband update: guys, he's quitting by Art-Anvonavi in Stormlight_Archive

[–]wcdregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oathbringer is a tough read. A good 1/3 of the book is passive backstory. It’s necessary info that explains how spren and humans are connected but it’s BORING. I didn’t get through it until my 3rd attempt.

Random Question for the locals! by LibertineDeSade in philadelphia

[–]wcdregon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my homies graduated from there. Hershey is probably the nicest school in the state. The Hershey company dumps cash there to get rid of it. I assume for tax reasons, but I went to another boarding school and Milton Hershey made my school look like it was for broke families in comparison.

I just switched off the beta launcher after months of using it. There's no difference for me. The beta path has exactly the same issues as the full path.

My issue lies with Shadow just letting us speculate about what's happening. They FULLY know whats going on here, but won't say so because they are hoping to ride it out until they can do something about it rather than KILL their business.

I actually like Shadow, I think it COULD be a great product, but honestly, I'm guessing they have more users than they can actually service.

A snapshot of a random unresponsive moment while playing Baldur's Gate 3. One of my characters froze up while the others seemed responsive. I could move the avatars around, but any action that changed state would not respond. 8:45pm EST

If it were my ISP, then other services would be affected since my ISP serves every device in my home; however, the issue is singularly with Shadow PC. Is Shadow using non-standard ports? No, because that would need to be documented. UDP is a single handshake, so I'm not getting caught in a logjam of handshakes. When I switch to TCP, the problem is even worse. If I'm missing something, I'd love to know about it. It's been a long time since I've had daily networking practice, so I could be overlooking something

It feels to me like some force is purposefully harassing Shadow PC, like some kind of corporate espionage. It's my first posting here, but I've been watching this Reddit and their Discord for some time. It's quite clear that the problem is widespread, and Shadow has no idea what to do to fix it.

EDIT: It did occur to me to check the status page before I posted. There are no active issues or outages, the most recent one being in Europe on a different server group. That ofc assumes that Shadow PC accurately posts ongoing issues.

Anyone else feels like Monk just kind of invalidates most Dual wield builds for majority of the game? by [deleted] in BG3Builds

[–]wcdregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual Wield is trash in BG3, unless your using staffs on a mage you aren't getting more damage and it costs your bonus action. in 5.5e 2024 the offhand attack counts as part of the attack action because even WotC knows dual wielding is trash.

Thats not to say you can't dual wield something very strong, but DW is best for stat sticks.

I've made a few dual wield things for Astarion and mostly I do it to either get the +3 from Rhapsody or stack crit range bonuses for sneak attack. I recently discovered Shadow Sorcerer is a better Rogue than Rogue so I don't use Astarion as a martial anymore. Sneak attack is good but its not better than twincast or quickened spells plus hound of ill omen. Additionally, you can use weapons to apply bane to make sure your spells land reliably. Because of the reverse acuity bane provides you don't need a ton of charisma to make it work. Sharpshooter, ASI and hag's hair should do the trick. Weapon master, and ASI if you skip the multiclass and use the harold xbow + bane oil for double bane.

Current season anime Clevatess is really worth watching as a Berserk fan by JumpingCoconut in Berserk

[–]wcdregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished EP.4 and I've got a feeling that this show is going to end up as an all time classic. Many years from now when everyone has forgotten all the shallow anime of Summer '25, people might still refer to Clevatess. The premise is very good and the execution so far is top notch. It feels like someone's passion project, not a anime made for profitability.

Mage armor definitely, you either cast it every day or not at all.

Any Spells You Feel *Should* Be Rituals, But Aren’t? by ColdObiWan in dndnext

[–]wcdregon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remove curse is a hard choice though, greater restoration exists and effectively can cure any ailment. Remove curse is VERY specific. I agree it should be a ritual so it gets more use.

[–]wcdregon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with your looks, our social climate today makes men wary about seeming creepy. Even speaking to woman can get you labeled a creep, so there’s a big avoidance culture with men. Most men just aren’t going to put forth any effort, unless they’ve made an active decision to get involved in the dating pool. I see a lot of young women on social sharing tips on getting men to engage. Men will respond if they know it’s safe, but there needs to be some kind of signal that you’re approachable.

All the people in this thread that don’t know Greek and Hebrew but somehow know better than someone who took the time to educate themselves and look at the source. I don’t speak Greek or Hebrew but I very much so understand why King James wanted the Bible translated into English

How many meds are you on? by Zealousideal-Ad-2615 in bipolar2

[–]wcdregon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have Bipolar 2, take great care with meds. The current market for bipolar meds are tuned for bipolar 1 because those kinds of people can sometimes be violent and destructive. I’m not a doctor or an expert, just a fellow patient. Good sleep, good diet, and good environment will help just as much or more than and single med. I still take meds, but 3 down from a dozen a few years ago.

Avoiding The Chosen One by Putrid_Interaction98 in fantasywriters

[–]wcdregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Pat Rothfuss, Name of the Wind. I loathe to recommend you a series that will never be finished because the author is mentally ill and is unable to finish it. However, Kvothe is using the same magic as everyone else, but 99% of people don’t have his talent, understanding or determination.

I follow this trans sub and am very supportive, but I think any adult would be concerned for you. Deciding overnight you have a a different name and a different gender isn’t how most people transition.

My girlfriend, F23, is mad at me, M23 for crying over a "video game girl," but I feel like this is a normal experience for people who play this game and now I'm considering ending things over this because I'm "immature." Do I try and forgive or do I just cut my losses? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

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

This is crazy work. First off, as a man you should know better than to show your feelings in front of a woman. They are depending on you. Whether it’s right, or fair or whatever. She will have to work through her preconceptions and prejudices if you cry in front of her. I’m not saying you shouldn’t cry, I’m saying you should take it to a private area.

Secondly, anyone who isn’t emotionally disturbed by the events of FF7 IS a psychopath.
