Yep - just like when Prince tried to rebrand himself as some fancy symbol and the world just went on about it’s business without acknowledging his silliness.  All articles just changed his name to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince - and eventually it just went back to being Prince...

This is the play to make. 

I very much see your point with the second concern. But I also have seen that concern used as a cheap excuse. Yes, people SHOULD recognize that BG3 is a confluence of positive developments and luck. But also? Hard work. Giving a shit about the end user experience. Not letting the license entirely dictate the gameplay…

I had the same experience with the spider matriarch and felt like an absolute hero for pulling it off.  Note on the githyanki “romancing” - it helped me with immersion and when she was an ass to me later it definitely added to my feelings about it :)

Personally, I’m going to wager that the “ghost” company, made by VCs to extract value out of a specific market, by targeting that market’s most favored qualities (speed, notoriety, and food familiarity), is going to do fine during discovery, and during the trial. I agree with you that they won’t want to do discovery…

You don’t even understand it.

Yanno, as an author who’s been having books pirated since long before this AI felgercarb hit the sticks, I’d like to kindly invite you to reconsider. I could have told you to go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut, but I’m trying to be polite here. There’s a copyright notice in every book (or should be), and it…

There was at least one lawsuit where someone was suing for more money than has ever existed since we came up with the concept of money. 

They’re entering a world of pain.

Oof yeah, that’s a bit tougher. I mean you might still be able to handle most of them. But any companion with okayish dex and Sleight of Hand will be fine, especially since you can just keep reusing kits until you succeed on traps and locks. Sometimes using a big beefy character on traps isn’t a bad idea, that way…

Depending on your player character, you might not need him. I’ve got a warlock PC with mediocre dexterity but I added proficiency in sleight of hand and perception. For the majority of the game I’ve been able to do locks and traps without needing Astorian in my group. I liked him a lot at first, but he gets tougher to…

And it’s on a thousand different YT channels in 3... 2... 1...

That’s one way to get those MAUs up ABK. Gate your Pixar shit. It’s all you have left in terms of relevancy. :’( Can’t wait for $20 cinematics. Anyways, fuck that, I’ll watch a rip. lmao 

Post Malone would be a great name for a basketball player. 

That was my thought. It’s not savings.....it’s deferment. Unless they completely cancel the projects, they’re just deferring when those dollars will be spent. And likely, after the strike is over, they’ll be spending more money......

Hardcore roleplay you say?

It’s the classic short-term corporate greed argument. “We’ve saved millions by laying off our R&D department!”

Oh, it still hurts. They just won’t admit it until they legally have to.

He’s voiced by an actual 15-year-old. You’re thrown off because you’re used to the Turtles being voice acted by grown men in their 30's.
