I've thought about law school my whole life, I just wasn't sure I wanted to go right after 4 years of college. I generally know what the practice of law entails.

If I only got accepted into 'middler' institutions then I simply wouldn't go to law school. Can't say this without arrogant but based on my life in academics and my work on official practice tests, I'm confident I'd score ~99th percentile

Not like anybody wants to hire my tech degree in this economy

What makes Otto's Irresistable Dance 6th level while Hold Monster is 5th level? They both target 'Creature', they both use a WIS save. But Hold completely disables actions and makes attacks against the target auto-crit. Considering what I'm hearing about Dance in BG3 I guess I'm asking this about 5e tabletop

Am I supposed to just skim through this ten minute video to look for places where Vegeta kills people

I would just say the 2000s or if I'm feeling pretentious, the noughts

Out of context it's fine, but they shouldn't have done all that intrigue setup in VLR with Left and such just to throw it away. pretty outrageous

The dude who made it is absolutely Cocoa Puffs, but this is a legitimately funny conservative comic.

IDK sometimes webcomics are a numbes game. For this artist this is his 1 decent work. StoneToss is probably the best conversative (or outright fascist) comic in terms of understanding comedy, putting aside his vile views

Basically the only soulsbourne ripoff I've seen to somewhat understand the tone and world building of fromsoft games (ie, there's not endless fucking talking)

It might not measure up to their best hits, but it is a fine game

Moral relativism is subjective, as it depends on each individual person and their choices.

Not quite.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-anti-realism/

Second, it is worth stating explicitly that moral anti-realism is not a form of moral relativismor, perhaps more usefully noted: that moral relativism is not a form of moral anti-realism. Moral relativism is a form of cognitivism according to which moral claims contain an indexical element, such that the truth of any such claim requires relativization to some individual or group. According to a simple form of relativism, the claim Stealing is morally wrong might be true when one person utters it, and false when someone else utters it. The important thing to note is that this would not necessarily make moral wrongness non-objective. For example, suppose someone were to make the relativistic claim that different moral values, virtues, and duties apply to different groups of people due to, say, their social caste. If this person were asked in virtue of what these relativistic moral facts obtain, there is nothing to prevent them offering the full-blooded realist answer: Its just the way the universe objectively is. Relativism does not stand opposite objectivism; it stands opposite absolutism (the form of cognitivism according to which the truth of moral claims does not require relativization to any individual or group). One can be both a moral relativist and a moral objectivist (and thus a moral realist); conversely, one can be both a moral non-objectivist (and thus a moral anti-realist) and a moral absolutist.

I upcast Sleep which was just enough hit points to snooze the guard on patrol, then I entered turn mode and IIRC had her use her Misty Step to get past the room of guards sitting down without being in their sightline

I cannot describe how profoundly disappointed I am that this is not a picture/video of a cat laying inside a hollowed out Xbox.

Let's try not to derail the topic. Whether or not we all agree on the tenets of the Torah or any holy text, that cannot tell us as to whether it is true that there exists or does not exist objective morality.

IMO the term "signature move" doesn't carry as much weight in Gen I because the Pokmon pool was small enough such that you can want a Pokemon to have a move that simply doesn't fit on any other mon. Once you have 500 pokemon or a thousand it becomes more noteworthy that only one Pokmon can use a particular move.

Wonder when this was written, because even conceding everything they say, Smash as a reference fest has easily been surpassed by Fortnite

I never watched the anime but I read the manga up until MC's hair turns white and he decides not to come back to the cafe

It was signaling a hard turn into Shonen battle focus with the stuff like "I'll break half of the bones in your body" and what I liked about the series was him exploring human-ghoul relations. What defined early Tokyo Ghoul to me was that the climax of arcs was really when characters found the strength to reject violence rather than indulge in it or believe it inevitable.

perspective of a Ghoul hunting team and one of the characters is a girl that looks like a guy. she has short messy white hair and red tattoos on her body.

This had been established for a little bit before where I stopped. I'm pretty sure it's a guy that looks like a girl though, at least in the manga...

To be fair, moral antirealism is a serious philosophical position (or family thereof) with serious defenders throughout the ages. But I agree that in a lot of contexts, calling morality subjective is often just a form of intellectual laziness and/or cowardice.

I just have trouble seeing how for example an error theorist negative claim might be more lazy than a moral realist positive claim. Or by contexts do you mean like when people are justifying actions on twitter

Volo is canonically a Wizard, though, isn't he?

Is he? I thought his whole gig was seeking out interesting situations to commit to verse.

YellowSUV posted...

The bard you first see at the grove would have been a better choice for a companion. Still boggles my mind there are 2 druid companions when you have classes not covered by any companions.

Volo's so distinctive that I get the idea he was at some point planned to be playable.

They should have just changed Minsc to a barbarian. The only reason he was a ranger in the original games was because Barbarian didn't exist as its own class in 2e. I don't remember if the barbarian fight kit even existed when BG1 came out. But in 5e he really doesn't fit as a ranger at all.

It fits him well to be a Beast Master, on the other hand. Although maybe Boo is the master...

Dude pulls off that shit, then grabs his Longsword to two-handed and goes to town.

Then you get him and he's got 10 goddamn Strength and none of his fighting styles synergize with versatile weapons.

Because Minsc is a 2e AD&D Ranger. The class has a troubled development history in D&D.

They did a good job with portraying Minsc imo. Looks great, sounds great, funny yet charismatic.

On the other hand I feel like Jaheira totally overshadowed Halsin, which is unfortunate because I think Halsin is cool. One thing is he should've been possible to join your party since Act 1 IMO. He basically joins you on the premise of doing one quest (albeit his big quest) in act 2 and then his story is done. I realize that he has less connections to the party due to not having a parasite and his responsibilities in druid society, but still, I like him and it just feels like more time was spent on the other druid.

Minsc gets maybe the most badass feat in the game for his entrance

How did this get a PG rating?

Probably before PG-13. You just jumped from PG to R and in addition the bar to reach R was a higher because 'bad language' was judged more charitably taking context into account rather than a thoughtless "you have 1 f word lol"

I genuinely consider Biden to be the anti-Trump and I think he has the best shot of winning right now given the circumstances and stuff like incumbent advantage

Hate to double post, but a lot of this game is about dealing with shit rolls. Sometimes you get screwed and the fun is how you adapt to being put in a place of disadvantage (unless you party wipe, then yeah, reload is good).

It's fine in combat, less so when the player just wants something fun to happen but there's rolls in the way. Over the board, a savvy DM can direct situations such that the players have fun in any situation. It's more inflexible in a video game system.

Tmaster148 posted...

Critical fails on ability checks really suck though.

I honestly forgot that's not a thing in real 5e if so. But yeah I agree, in general the game could use some steps that reduce its encouragement of the player to save-scum. There are times where playing this game without reloads must be soooooooo aggravating

DnD's interactions can get complex and you can accidentally screw yourself with misclicks in BG3 (eg you can't undo movement which is a limited resource per turn). HOWEVER that should really only matter on Tactical IMO. I've played the whole game on Tactical and it's very manageable. I have over the board experience, but I think 'Balanced' should be just fine for a newcomer.

Back in middle school I used o consume shows like this and Criminal Minds easily. Now I know how depressing real life is so I don't have it in me to watch darker police procedurals anymore.

I was almost gonna bring up Criminal Minds but I find that show much easier to watch. Cuz CM especially after season 3 is like a SWAT team with psychology superpowers show. They stop the bad guy often. Every time I catch a random SVU episode it's like "yeah this kid got SA'd and killed ten years ago and the mom has been holding out hope ever since and we need to tell her he's not coming back"

SVU is too hard to watch IMO.

What episode

What a brutal ratio

You're a liar if you think nobody thinks about "morality" when talking about murder.

Since you don't seem to be here to speak in good faith based on the rest of your post (we all just have "shallow interpretations"), I'm going to respond to this and then move on from you, since it's a topic of interest of me. I didn't say people don't think about morality when talking about murder. I said that the origin of laws is in order & stability. As in, at the anthropological level. Morality is often a perceived positive byproduct of laws, but it is not usually the purpose of laws.

It's true that many people observe the proceedings of courts and the law and make judgments on their outcomes and effectiveness based on their moral beliefs. That's not how courts determine verdicts, though. The jury isn't called to determine whether the defendant's action produced more moral good than bad, they're called to decide the facts of the case, whether the defendant acted in a way that violates a statute as written. Many, many times in history and today, the application of that statute is not decisively moral.

Is the death penalty moral? There's certainly arguments on both sides of the issue as to whether it is (strange that). But there's just as much argument about whether the death penalty is effective. When it comes to many sets of commerce laws, morality is nearly or entirely absent from the discussion.
