The combat is fairly challenging - it’s easy for one or two bad moves (or bad luck) to kill your whole party in a battle. It also takes a bit to learn the combat system if you haven’t played D&D.

I’ve always been interested in D&D, but no never played it.

You end up with 4 different characters with different strengths and weaknesses and each with a bunch of different abilities that have different rules for when and how often you can use them.

I have played quite a few games with the party system, so I have so previous knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses of party members, which may help. Thanks for the info!

Outside the combat, how have you liked the game?

I haven’t played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.

Definitely seems like a game I’d like, a fantasy RPG, I haven’t always loved turned based combat, so that’s one of my hold ups. What do y’all think of the combat system?

Which part? The fees?

What bank do you have that charges $35 for a transfer?

I transfer between b of a and chase bank, both known for having decently high fees, without any of those fees.

The $35 amount I’ve only seen with overdrafting. Do you overdraft every single transfer?

Same with us. I don’t know what these other folks are talking about. I transfer seemlessly between my accounts at different banks.

Wasn’t there a huge civil suit against J&J that they avoided paying?

Just another big pharma company that is getting charged fines, but that’s just their cost of doing business. These suits against J&J, Pfizer & more should put the company permanently out of business.

Strategy and empire building! Total war is by far my favorite series.

Mount and blade/Bannerlord is up there too.

I don’t think it’s a trap.

I was only 9 when we invaded Iraq, I wasn’t in much of a position to protest.

But seeing for the majority of my life, how that played out, along with studying American history and our involvement in other countries the last ~70ish years has made me a borderline military pacifist. We spent some 10-20 trillion on an endless war that got us absolutely nothing, and killed millions of people across the world. What Americans life was positively impacted from that?

I’m almost always going to say to stay out of foreign conflicts going onward.

I absolutely agree, I’m conservative and am fine with cutting 80% of our foreign military activity.

Using that money to help folk here including veterans.

If your neighbour, having been born in an extremelly wealthy family, hired 100 hunters and hunted all deers in a 100 mile radius and offered to sell you venison, and you subsequently went hunting, got 0 and had to buy the venison from him, that would absolutelly be his fault.

His fault of what? Hunting more? I don’t own the deer, nor the land the deer are on. In fact, it’d probably work better for me, he doesn’t have use for all the deer, and I can buy it pretty cheap from him without getting my hands dirty. Isn’t that what you do? All your stuff, do you make it? Or buy it from someone who provides it?

As it so happens my version of the metaphor is very much how it works nowadays at that level of wealth compared to the normal individual.

Not really. You didn’t explain why it’s my neighbors responsibility to give me food.

It’s funny that in your mind they work just like you, even down to doing it hands on: that’s not even close to how it happens with the vast majority of them and even the ones who do “work” used their wealth as a force multiplier to make way more happen than you could ever possibly do and thus get way more benefits than you could possible get (normallly make way more money which they can use as an even bigger force muliplier in the next round).

Yeah. Once you have your needs met and have expendable income you can use that how you see fit. Some use it for luxuries, some use it to make more money.

I’m not gonna be mad at how someone uses their property. That doesn’t do anybody any good.

Nobody would have any problem with the rich if their taking wasn’t so vast that it stops everybody else from getting even a little bit.

Yes, you and many other young left wing folks would. It stems from jealousy, not necessity. The world is a much much much better place due to capitalism, which has brought insane amounts of people out of poverty, into positions they don’t have to worry about starving everyday.

You’re just mad because your wealth hasn’t increased as much as theirs. Your life is easier than 90% of people throughout world history, your on your little Mac or Iphone, in your air conditioned home because it’s a little too hot this july, drinking your starbucks coffee, stewing in hatred about how rich people are awful, but anybody in human history will look at your life of luxury and be appalled how someone with so much comfort and wealth is complaining.

I suppose until then you won’t understand why this is just embarrassing for Musk.

I think Musk is fine if some lemmy migrants from reddit think that he’s embarrassing for tweeting at big streamers about twitters video platform.

Competition is not always good.

So you think video streaming services should be in a monopoly?

You think that will be the best for the consumer and content creators?

I disagree.

haha new to lemmy, thanks!

The people running Twitter should act like professionals.

Once we have presidential candidates that can act professional, I’ll hold some twitter guy to that standard.

The only reason he did this publicly is for the attention.

Yes. That’s the whole point of twitter haha

I disagree.

Any competition is good competition. If he offers competitive earnings to youtube, youtube is pressured to improve their product or pay for views.

It’s embarrassing for him to advertise his companies video platform?

I don’t know about Iran’s gun rights to have much input on that comparison.

From what I remember, I thought the protests were mainly by the youth in universities.
