When I lived in Vegas my apartment complex would regularly drop blocks of ice in the pool in the summer. Surely we can scale that shit up for the oceans, right? …Right?
I hate that this counts as “news.”
I fully expect the defense to be, “Well, we can’t discriminate based on the applicant’s race, sex, religion, etc… but the constitution doesn’t say anything about discrimination based on legacy status.”
Well, see, nazis hate Jews (and people of color, and leftists, and…), and LGBT people, uh, well, you see, they uh… anyway you can’t block one and not block the other. See what I mean?
/s. Also, fuck off nazi punks.
Yes.
Were they fully aware, though? Sure the ceo was, but if I buy a trip on an airplane I assume the proper maintenance has been carried out. I know it’s not exactly the same, but there’s no way everyone on that sub had the knowledge or expertise to fully know just how not safe the experience really was.
There was a time I lived in Iowa, and it was the first time I lived somewhere with regular snow. I dislike cold, and I dislike dark, but those moments of walking by myself through my quiet neighborhood at night during a snowstorm were pretty awesome.
That said, I’m fully in camp summer.
I just hope OP doesn't break both arms while they're out doing... whatever it is they're going to be doing.
I go by new. Obviously the content level here is not Reddit-esque yet, so it’s still remarkably manageable to do this way. At some point, I imagine (hope?) needing to shift to “hot” or “active,” but that time hasn’t come for me, yet.
Baldur's Gate 1 and, to a lesser extent, 2 call me back quite often. I'd say I play them at least once a year. I also enjoy Crusader Kings 2. Yes, 3 is more visually appealing, but 2 is just so rich with content in comparison. Those plus Civ 5 can keep me busy for, well, far too long.
So many good options! Two I hear most about are probably Warbonnet and DutchWare. Fair notice, I have gear from both - a hammock (Eldorado) and tarp (minifly) from Warbonnet and lots of lines / hardware / suspension from DutchWare - and have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about both.
I grabbed my top and underquilts from a small(er) Etsy shop - the Hang Tight Shop - and love them both. Again, loads of options out there, so take a look around.
Last bit of advice - check out Shug’s YouTube channel. The dude is really experienced and has so many great videos for beginners and veterans alike.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
I’m not that guy (the one you asked to reply…), but I will say this as a lover of the first two games - play them. They are remarkable games and 20ish years after coming out I still play them (and do so regularly). If you’re a younger gamer you may find the interface or the graphics a bit clunky, but really, you ought to give them a go.
From my time on the Baldurs Gate subreddit, it seems like 3 was less story connected (per others’ comments), but that was before some of the added characters were announced (e.g. Minsc). That said, I haven’t played 3 at all, so I can’t comment personally.
tl;dr: I don’t know if you’ll be missing out in the story by starting with 3, but you should definitely play 1 & 2 because they’re incredible games.
