The short term sanity loss effects seems fine in most instances. Panic attacks, blind flight, manic aggression,etc. It's just weird when the GM has to assign permanent effects. Like, does everyone just get icthaphobia cuz they failed a bunch of checks around deep ones?

I was looking up the time for the US v Uruguay game tomorrow and discovered Google's ai knows nothing about soccer. Either that or the entire Uruguayan team has spent the weekend gorging on KC BBQ and will be in no shape to play

My one complaint so far about the elden ring dlc (and most fromsoft games) is how often I miss out on entire quest lines because I decided to go north instead of south when the road forked

The handful of times I've seen her speak she's struck me as having the same issue as Hillary Clinton. Even if you think she could be an effective leader, she doesn't have that charismatic oomph that's needed to actually win a national election

A trick I use is to run a sharpie on both sides of the edge. When there's no more black I test the sharpness and give it a quick strop. You can mark further along the blade if you're worried about maintaining a good angle, that way you can see if you're too steep or shallow on the grind

depending on which rendition you're playing, it's also a super macabre setting. i think it was 2nd ed where, for all intents and purposes, the Wyrm had won the war and the werewolves were just making a doomed last stand

Oh God. I fired up elden ring to make sure one of my save files was ready for the dlc. None of them are. The closest one is a ng++ file that hasn't even unlocked mohg's palace yet. I still need to get the medallion to open the lift. I'm gonna have to grind

it's kinda funny cuz the bushcraft subreddit is basically the opposite. every time someone posts saying they're gonna go grizzly adams, the universal response is "you're an idiot and you will die cold and alone".
