Pet peeves: The return (Part 4)

They’re actually feeling a bit better today, but for them if it’s raining they can’t go out and the last few days it’s been on and off rain.

The boss you can convince to defeat itself in act 2 of BG3 is supposed to be easier for warlocks but instead it is bugged and the dialogue option doesn’t appear at all - probably because it’s related to an Insight check that being a warlock skips

Mildly peeved

The munk debate between Douglas Murray, Mat Taibbi and Malcolm Gladwell and Michelle Goldberg showcased these problems rather well.

One thing I would point out, as did Murray and Mat, that a lot of the funding doesn’t even come from private sources. It’s the government money talking, at least when it comes to a lot of media in the west.

We have an old saying in finnish that goes “Sen kenen leipää syöt, sen lauluja laulelet”, which is essentially the same as “Know on which side your bread is buttered.”.

Worst thing is I don’t know if we can even fix this anymore. You can’t intervene with government like you can in most market failures, because the government has a vested interest.

You could establish an independent organ like S&P for stocks to oversee it, but who would fund them? Yeah. It’s not easy.

There’s like three of those at least that I can think of immediately. The brewer was my favourite of them though, my monk got advantage on all the saving throws for it because their mind and body are PURE.

god i wish this was me

I lost faith in people’s critical thinking skills in a similar way over the last few years, to the point that I wasn’t really surprised by people believing what the so-called scientific institutions were saying.

I’ve been doing some reading for the past 6-7 years on the alleged ‘curve’ that scientists claim exists on the horizon, and the arguments against the world’s disc-like shape are honestly ridiculous. But people are more than happy to simply regurgitate what they’re told about the earth being spherical rather than do their own research for 5 minutes, much like with the Covid lab leak.

I’m tired, man.

Remember in Golden Sun how the world was flat and it was disintegrating because alchemy was turned off.

I think it’s a jab at Atah via dropping a crazier topic.

Cat’s new pill is huge.

I feel sorry for him having to swallow it.

jokes on you there was a third one (that I didn’t play)

They did not age well, and I think only survived in the vague cultural consciousness because they were one of the few large RPGs on the GBA at the time to play on long car journeys as you desperately twisted to catch the light from streetlamps.

I heard people talking about Golden Sun at the time, but never actually played it.

I’m not surprised by this so I think I knew of it, just forgot (also never played it)

I enjoyed it, there’s a reason my 2 Chimera’s on Cro are called; Saturos and Menardi respectively.
