Well it has to be a bonus action cleric spell with concentration because throwing an object is an action, so the options are: Shield of Faith, Holy Weapon or Spirit Shroud. She’s not holding a weapon, and it doesn’t look like she’s summoning spirits of the dead, so I’m going to go with she is casting Shield of Faith.

Stop Population Decline? What is this site?

The about section is very vague about what the org actually is.

Unless it is explicity specified in a contract, no you wouldn’t. Most people don’t.

It was 2000 shares, he’s already sold like 50k in the last year. Nothing sinister about it.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons (Hyperion Cantos #1) - $1.99

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the reach of galactic law, waits a creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them...

Yes, but Fallout 3 came out in 2008. You’d think there would be some advancements in that time.

On Steam I have 150+ hours and in my achievements I see that only 0.7% of players have touched 100 planets.

So I don’t think that people are being honest and/or don’t really understand how big the game is.

But why would I want to touch 100 planets? They all feel exactly the same and there is no gameplay or role-playing reason to explore them.

I sat down to play it last night, got destroyed by spaceships I’m trying to kill to level up my piloting skill and access class B and C ships, went to the simulator in the UC base to get some free kills and realised I wasn’t having any fun with the game any more, so I closed the game and started playing High on Life. Had way more fun.

After the

spoilerStarborn

reveal

spoiler(which I saw coming as soon as the Starborn were introduced)

I realised it’s just not fun. I can’t get into the roleplay as all the characters are bland cardboard cutouts with weird facial expressions, the only fun I was really having was the shooting which grew stale once all the enemies became bullet sponges.

The lack of city maps, the boring cutscenes for everything, clunky console first interface, drab colours, bafflingly hideous item designs, lifeless procedural planets. The factions are all boring. Permanent skills, with no respec options?! And for god’s sake, let me eat food on the ground by long pressing E.

It’s actually worse than Fallout 4, and that’s 8 years old.

It’s at best a 5.5/10 for me.

It really doesn’t deserve to be on par with New Vegas.

I’d say it’s probably to integrate games across mobile and Vision Pro in the future. They’re already partnered with unity to bring games to it.

Yes, it is the most polished Bethesda game, but no, it is not “just as polished as TotK”. I’m sorry but that’s blatantly untrue.

Star UI and no menu animation mods make this way more playable.

The console-ified UI is terrible, just as it was for Skyrim and Fallout 4.

They do also make lube for bike chains under the WD-40 brand.

They all also feature an alternative to capitalism alongside capitalism, which is exactly what you asked for.

Is this comic supporting capital punishment?

I’m so confused.

It’s 5% more XP than the boost from sleeping alone.

Great thumbnail pic though.

So you've beat Baldurs Gate 3, well now it's time you had a real DnD Adventure!

Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped…have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you’re one of the legendary few who have, why don’t you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary...

Highly recommend Wild Sheep Chase. It is fun and easy to DM and can be done in one (probably long) session.

Love this post. The more playing ttprgs the better!

I think they mean most recent or most new games, the PS4 came out nearly a decade ago.

Also some of them are completely useless and there is no way to respec your skills at all.
