I decided to just respec my favorite companions as needed to keep them in the party. So Karlach is a ranger now. She’s not as combat-effective as a rogue or bard, but it’s a lot less of a stretch for her background.

Sara Dietschy has probably my favorite general tech channel on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@saradietschy
Every time I mentioned Trump on Reddit’s world news sub, I got shouted down for talking about “irrelevant” US politics. I tried to explain his potential impact on the politics of other countries, but they didn’t want to hear it.
The issue with the donation has multiple stages. Stage 1 was the donation itself. Stage 2 was the intellectually insulting way that Brendan Eich defended his actions. Stage 3 is the negative impact that Proposition 8 had on California for many years, during which time millions of dollars in taxpayer money was wasted on legal proceedings to walk back the amendment banning marriage for people who dared to be of the same gender.
And we did actually hear a lot about the people who donated millions to Proposition 8. There was a lot of coverage of the millions that Mormons donated to get this type of marriage banned. It was a political decision that haunted the LDS church for years. Example 1, five years later. Here’s some more coverage from just last year. We’ve been hearing about those people for years. Because California remembers the damage that they wrought.
It’s okay, I think his spine took most of the impact
Something like 80% of Google’s revenue is from ads, even with that 30% cut they get from everything on their app store. So their core existence deeply conflicts with a free and open web. And it’s particularly unsettling because their web browser dominates the market, so they have the leverage to force us into their vision of the future. And this domination would be very difficult to counter. It’s the default browser on Android phones, and it is constantly flogged on Google.com, which is one of the most popular web portals in the world.
Looks like they’re using a bullshit excuse to funnel people into their mobile app.
”Don’t be daft. We’re in a warming phase.”
Yeah, here’s what you tell them. Temperatures were at baseline when the industrial revolution began. That’s just a handful of generations. We’ve now seen an increase of, what 2 degrees C since then? I don’t know the exact number. The point is, this sort of increase is not present anywhere else in the geological record. It takes thousands of years for average global temperatures to naturally increase to a point like this one. There are literally no hard spikes–until the industrial revolution began. The only credible takeaway is that humans are the problem.
Fallout 76 is a bit different because it’s a live service game, and it runs on an engine that was wildly contorted to make it usable in that form. That’s presumably why it launched without NPCs and with all kinds of jank. Starfield, meanwhile, is Todd Howard’s own passion project that he’s dreamed about making for decades. I still expect a raft of bugs that will only ever be fixed by community modders, and it looks like the engine’s reputation for poor framerates will continue, based on the Xbox 30 fps cap. But I don’t think total cynicism is warranted. Yet.
Astarion with his default trickster subclass trades melee effectiveness for a selection of spells. If you respec him to a thief, he can hit pretty hard, and there are some build guides out there that can make him (or any thief rogue) downright fearsome. This one looks pretty good: https://mobalytics.gg/blog/baldurs-gate-3/rogue-thief-build-guide/
