I mean… Kinda Baldurs Gate 3, especially if you are a high charisma class. You can also be monk. They key is dont use attack spells, and knock everyone out instead of killing them on thr mandatory fights. SO MANY of the fights in that game can be avoided or skipped with dialogue. You can, for example, bluff your way entirely into the enemy bases, use their shops, and completely decide to stay out of conflicts. Again, like you said in NV, sometimes the ‘pacifist’ routr makes you feel like shit. Like, you can skip having to side with either Minthara or the tieflings in act 1 simply by leaving for act 2. A lot of people die in the background though.

Only mandatory fights I think are at the end of act 2, and the final boss fight. Everything else can be avoided or conversationally skipped. In the final fight, depending on allies you got throughout the game you can technically have them fight everyone. Or you can just stealth past everything with greater invisibility or as monk or rogues that can sprint really fast.

Sounds like it should be if it isn’t. Space Force seems like a misguided attempt to start the Terran Marines from warhammer/starcraft and other military scifis.

Well, only on chapter 22/89 and the moon has not yet hatched. I do love how snarky the main character is and there was some trauma that drives the story forward and makes you want someone to die really bad who may be the main villain possibly.

(Finished HWFWM12 and HIMMUMLI4FD) so… narrowing it down but i also started Judicator Jane 5…

One of the only good things I said that Trump did in his first term was invest in space. Gave NASA more budget, created Space Force, as ridiculous as it is at this stage in our history… looks like he just took away the one good thing I credited him for.

Its really odd, cause you’d think they’d just want to make money no matter where it comes from.

Yeah… pretty much every series i read i look forward to the next one.

Kevin Hearne is a good one I buy everything he does. Iron Druid (Urban Fantasy), Ink & Sigil (Iron Druid Spinnoff/continuation), Kill the Farm Boy (High Fantasy Parody). All great stuff. Also went to 2 of his book signings.

I buy every new Hollows book (Urban Fantasy and somewhat post apocalyptic) from Kim Harrison, every new Schooled in Magic and all Nameless World spin offs (Isekai magic school and story well past graduation) from Christopher G. Nutall. All Black Ocean(sci fi space western) books by J.S. Morin. Whatever book J.N. Chaney is writing as well (Sci fi space operas). I also wait for a bunch of litrpgs next books. He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon, Judicator Jane (new one just came out!) from Brian Rouleau, System Universe by SunriseCV… And I’m constantly discovering new authors to get excited about.

Does Pedro Pascal really have an accent though? Every interview i can find of him he sounds very american. Only when he said his name did I even hear a hint of a Chilean accent.

Very ADHD reader here, but reading:

When the Moon Hatched - Sarah A Parker - High fantasy where magical people have to register and be used by the government similar to FF16, except the Moon is a dragon egg (like FF14)… Actually wondering if Sarah A Parker is a Final Fantasy Fan…

He Who Fights With Monsters 12 - Shirtaloon (Travis Deverall) - My favorite LitRRPg series. Jason Asano is now basically a god, yet manages to stay grounded the best he can. He’s having to deal with the fact that people treat him differently now because of his power level, and learning diplomacy and all that.

How I Magically Messed Up My Life in Four Freakin Days - Megan O’Russell - This is a fun YA urban fantasy. I actually bought a few books from the author herself at Thy Geekdom Con in Philadelphia a few months back.

And my fall asleep Audiobook of the Moment: The Echo of Old Books - Barbara Davis - I mainly only read fantasy and sci-fi and this could barely be called fantasy. It’s mainly a historical romance told from the perspective of someone who happens to have a little bit of magic… its almost like the modern day story is irrelevant… anyway I picked it up as a Kindle first read and the audiobook was in turn $2 so I’ve got my money’s worth.

My neighbors gen z kids for the last 3 years had parties like this all the freaking time… so yeah they still happens. Maybe its just less common.

Me beating the first boss before I figure out the game had a leveling system…

Lol ok. I love marvel, great choice of clip.

That was so hilarious I felt i had to have AI make me a picture

I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.

Ugh I have a bad allergic reaction to pokeweed. One IS too much. Yet I have to weed it anyway and nearly die in the process.

Test of time was the definitive version of civ 2

Yeah… that’s even more fucked.

They already have enough of a persecution fetish.

I hate the whole conservative Christian doctrine. Saying you NEED religion or else you’ll be a terrible person and do terrible things. It’s like, goddamn I dont need religion to have morality and know what’s right and wrong. And then these fuckers have the gall to say godless heathens are the evil ones while doing the exact things Jesus told them NOT to do!

You know it ain’t. This is her trying to ban some conspiracy theory non existent weather device, just like the space laser she was crying about a couple years ago.

So the alligators will have bite sized snacks in addition to full size meals… sorry, my dark humor. It’s the only way I cope with these atrocities.
