Anticorp,

It was somewhat safe when there were like 2 billion people on the planet. Not so much when there’s 8 billion.

Anticorp,

Astarion is my second favorite companion. Karlach is too cool to not be my first favorite, but Astarion with his scheming and sassy attitude is such fun! Astarion was also my most powerful companion, and group face in my first playthrough, so I very much needed him in the party. This time I’m playing as a Bard and don’t need him, but I just added him back to the party to take on Cazador, and he’s still a badass. I’m rolling with him as a Monk/Thief now and he kicks major ass, and doubles as a pack mule.

Anticorp,

The doctor doesn’t tell them, they have special people with a little rolling computer that tells them.

Anticorp,

What’s the benefit if you don’t have ED?

My friend with no ED said he took a Viagra and it burst the skin of his penis. No fucking thank you on that, man!

Anticorp,

I do miss not being expected to have my phone with me all the time

I didn’t have a cell phone for long after they became mainstream. I still remember a friend hitting me up on Facebook with a message saying he had been calling me all day and kept getting VM, asking why I don’t answer my phone. I thoroughly enjoyed saying “I wasn’t home and don’t take my landline with me when I go out”. I do have a cellphone now, and I dislike how people freak out if you don’t respond within 10 minutes. Like, chill the fuck out dude, I’m doing things.

I do miss the era of physical media

I still buy vinyl records, and love listening to them. Thankfully they’re hipster now, so you can get high quality, deep cut records for just about any album. I buy CDs at the thrift store for $0.25-$1.00. I’ve managed to buy every CD I lost throughout my life, plus everything else I always wanted, but couldn’t afford. I even found the Pink Floyd Pulse album in perfect condition for $2.

I figure that’s about what a CD used to cost back in the day, adjusted for inflation. We were paying $16 for a CD back in the early 90’s. Records are probably more expensive to make, and often have really cool artwork as inserts. There’s the thrift store too though. About half of my record collection are original presses that I got from the thrift store for twenty five cents each. They don’t sound as good, but they’re pretty neat. Sometimes I buy a record at the thrift store just because it has cool artwork, like the Chicago album that has pressed engraving artwork, like dollar bills.

Edit: wow, CDs actually cost more back then adjusted for inflation. $36.12 in 1992.

Anticorp,

That’s… That’s not how Christmas works.

Anticorp,

Sure was fun though!

Anticorp,

Reindeer can’t type, they don’t have any fingers.

Anticorp,

People: “Can we please get some government regulation against all this spying?”

The government: “Best we can do is some tax cuts for Google.”

Anticorp,

Why do they have forks for noses?

Anticorp,

Finances. It costs money to run the heater, and working class families are on really regimented budgets. A difference of $30-$50 in your power bill can really mess things up when you’re living on a strict budget.

Anticorp,

Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.

Anticorp,

Nah, when you are the heavy drinker in the family, those gifts are golden.

Anticorp,

Congratulations! How long have you been sober? I’ll be up to six years in a few months. Wewt! Keep it up!

Anticorp,

Running does things like that to the mind. The first time I ran 10 miles, I started hallucinating around mile 8. I was running through the forest and the wind was gently swaying the trees back and forth. I understood for the first time that trees are the lungs of the earth, steadily breathing in the cO2 and breathing out oxygen for the rest of life on earth.

Anticorp,

Emotions exist.

Anticorp,

Fart. He farts in their general direction.

Anticorp,

Or invade Russia, split your armies on the way to Moscow, and end up in Russia during winter with a splintered supply line?

Anticorp, (edited )

Resources are finite, especially during war. They don’t want to poison or burn food that they need to eat. The idea is that you stop the forward march of the enemy before he gets to your food stores. If you can’t stop his advance then you have bigger problems than the enemy looting your food supplies.

Anticorp,

You can’t even shake Facebook or Google that way. How do you expect it to work against a demi-god?

Anticorp,

Possibly. I have seen many drawings depicting Santa being threatened by technology.

Anticorp,

Oh, possibly.

Anticorp,

The best build I’ve played is my Bard in this playthrough. Swords bard, dex based sharpshooter, 2 hand crossbows, 2 hand fighting style, and 2 levels in paladin oath of the Ancients. You’re a skill monkey with dex and charisma, so you can do almost anything in the game as good as any other character, you have sleight of hand and persuasion expertise so you can disable traps, pick locks, and persuade conversations. You get medium armor proficiency, or heavy if you take pally first, so you have high AC and high dodge, so you can front line. You have smite and a ton of spells slots. You can one-shot big bads. With the ranged slashing flourish you can attack 5 times in a single turn for high damage. And to top it all off you have heals, crowd control, and a pretty great spell arsenal. There’s literally nothing this build can’t do. Not only can it do everything, it can do most things better than dedicated classes. The only two things I’ve found done better by other classes are mass healing from a cleric, or lots of AOE damage from a wizard. Anyways, I absolutely LOVE this build.

Anticorp,
