Pet peeves: The return (Part 10)

DA2 completed. I’d forgotten how ‘horror’ some scenes were, with camera movements, angles, and zooms that were both b-movie shlock and charming at the same time. I expect part of it is because it was all a story told by Varric but it really helped, since I don’t remember the other DA games doing anything similar to it.

Orsino’s end is still dumb, and apparently entirely because EA demanded another boss fight, but oh well. Headcanon is that Orsino admitted to aiding Quentin and Hawke just straight up executed him, and this is what Varric told to cover up the true events.

I remember when I first played it thinking Meredith’s super anime jumps were over the top, and they kinda are. Again, perhaps a vestige of Varric’s storytelling, but they did kinda give that to players in future games too so…

It’s a shame we never got to see the Tevinter that Fenris talked about.

… No. Nope. Nuh-uh. I have to do WHAT to even GET to the Rares and it’s a chance to drop them?
And I can’t fly.
Horrible zone. It was trash when it was current, it’s trash now, it will forever main a stain on the underwear of the dark great beyond. 0/10, do not pass Go, do not collect £200. Ugh.

It’s meant to snow next week. Given how chilly it was today I can believe it. Gonna have to start wearing gloves, I think.

Having to end a tabletop RPG session because of a hard IRL time limit when you need to finish off a final boss fight that is super dicey is the roleplay equivalent of edging send post

Reminds me of this oldie:

Do have to say, immeasurably funny as a DM to have the alchemist throw a firebomb at the big bad king troll only for him to laugh, pull off a bead of his necklace of fireballs and return the favour

‘He laughs at your firebomb.’

‘Oh no.’

‘He reaches for his necklace’

‘Oh No’

‘…Pulls off a red bead’

‘oh NO’

‘and throws it, exploding-’

‘OH NO’

See you on the other side… :nauseated_face:

For some reason I hear the fans spinning while running games under Windows, and never while running the same games under Linux.

Even WoW, which runs equally well under both systems and is not exactly the most resource-demanding game.

(That’s not to say Linux is absolutely better, though. My arrrr! copy of Veilguard doesn’t run there out of the box and I haven’t bothered to fiddle with it.)

Since I don’t like the legion cloth shoes, I decided to use the dark ranger general shoes, but if i am using one piece, may as well use more to match.

EDIT: Still gonna realign your chakras when I punch you.

Exactly, right?
