  1. When it comes to writing I suspect nobody comes close to Karl Marx outside of religion. His "meta-narrative" spread outside of the west in a way that nothing else matches imho. On a sidenote a lot of the anglosphere names dropped in this thread mean absolutely nothing to me and I'm rather anglophile I think.
  2. Is there anything in season 3 of The Mandalorian that's relevent for Ahsoka? That's the one thing I have not watched.
  3. So I'm progressing in my evil game. A murder hobo that does things for the evulz might be a bit unrewarding item wise but it has been incredible amusing so far. I'm also playing a gnome and the running animation makes me giggle. Only Asterions anime run animation is more fun. Sadly he only does it when he is far behind and has to catch up.
  4. Only if you count us as part of Western Europe.
  5. Just saw that my MD offers it and I booked an appointment next week An open letter by a group of doctors has asked for masking in the health care sector again recently and it mentioned that a lot of doctors that support it prefer to stay anonymous. Completely understandable as a prominent pro-vaccine/madking doctor commited suicide after constant death threats. Most prefer to remain silent nowadays as the police openly said in that case that she should just shut if she did not want death threats.
  6. I'm rewatching The Good Place for the 2nd time. I still enjoy it.
  7. That's nice! I really dig the narrator especially when I'm choosing weird or questionable things. Anyways I still have not reached the proper ending but I have done some alternative endings before reloading.
  8. I also read the the Russians are having problems with billions of rupees that are very difficult to spend. They can spend them in India if they want to but abroad is problematic for some reason. A good deal for India I guess.
  9. Well I already murdered 3 companions. I guess there is no point in stopping the evil train at that point.
  10. Started an evil playtrough and it seems rather unrewarding when it comes to items.
  11. Fun fact no country has a health care sector that is a bigger part of its GDP. Usually hidden in the "service sector". The service is a dropping life expectancy and insane costs I guess. The more expensive it gets the better for the GDP.
  12. I enjoyed the original Mafia a lot back in the day even if the driving was rather difficult.
  13. Just pick the lowest difficulty and play with multiple fighters. You should not have many problems playing that way.
  14. Just finished the The Great God's War series by Stephen R. Donaldson which I mostly finished because I wanted to see how it ends and because I found parts of the world build intriguing. I'm thinking about rereading the The Gap Cycle which is far superior. Currently I'm reading Translation State by Ann Leckie and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
  15. Definitely. Those are in chronological order unlike the Taltos books.
  16. I would say that you can read them at any time. You might enjoy them more if you already have a decent grasp of the setting though. The first one was puplished after the 5th Taltos book I believe.
  17. I read to books spread out over more than 20 years but if I remember things correctly a chronological order would indeed spoil some surprises.
  18. I read them in the puplished order and I feel it worked well. Apart from Brokedown Palace which is the one non-Dumas style spin-off book. That one I only discovered after the Dumas style books came out.
  19. The books were not written in the chronological order. The most recent one is partially set at at time when Cawti is still his fiancé. The 17 book should come out next year and the original plan was 19 books I believe. 17 books named for the Great Houses, Taltos and a final one with a different name. His writing speed is pretty decent I feel and I think the series will be finished before 2030. There are also books set in the same universe inspired by The d'Artagnan Romances which I enjoyed even more than the main book series. I really enjoyed the The Baron of Magister Valley too which is based on The Count of Monte Cristo. If you like Dumas and like the setting I recommend them wholeheartedly.
  20. With the concentration mechanic I can't even debuff effectively while buffing party members. If I get a 2nd turn I do deal decent damage but that mainly happend in boss fights. I stack haste and Elixir of Bloodlust(gives an extra action after a kill) on the martial characters. Quite often any survivors of turn 1 die to Shadowheart walking near them after casting Spirit Guardians which is just amusing.
  21. It is known that it works because of accidents(and suicide bags I guess) and you pass out after one or two breaths of a nearly pure inert gas. Happend to a former co-worker of mine who put his head in a vessel that had been flushed with nitrogen. No worries it had no lasting effect as he was pulled out. It does not work without causing distress for animals which are capable of sensing low oxygen environments. Obviously any means of execution causes distress in humans unless they are unaware that people plan to kill them. But causing maximum distress and suffering is a core function of the US justice system.
  22. Expectation: I'm a mighty sorcerer and I will kill everyone with spells! Reality: I cast twinned haste on Karlach and Lae'zel. Everyone is dead at the end turn. This is how my sorcerer playtrough is going after getting level 3 spells.
  23. I think the last Bethesda game that did not have a console UI was Morrowind. Released more than 20 years ago. I feel like the company does not care about that particular complaint as I doubt it hurts sale at all. People just wait for the mods if they really care. Annoying but as expected as the sun rising every day.
