Like in that famous idiom, you can lead a horse to radioactive pellets, but you can’t make it eat.

I just discovered the Wabbajack modpack manager and am enjoying the Lost Legacy pack. I’m like 20 hours in and still don’t really know what playstyle I want, but conjuration is featuring heavily.

I just find replicators to be a dull enemy in general: there’s so little personality to them. I suppose that’s the point, but it’s not my jam. It was a bit better with the human form replicators and the asurans but not much. The universe drones were worse on that front.

I hope they keep Lucian alliance and drones/replicators on the sidelines. They’re the weakest storylines.

A song about it

That is so bad… I was thinking the last letter of

I took it as meaning birds are currently at 180 from dinosaurs and a further 180 will return them to dinosaur status, completing the full 360.

On the first point I agree. In my country, 40-50% is a pass usually and that seems crazy for its own reasons. But a curve can make that worse just as easily as it can make it better. The education system I work in is now introducing the idea that not only do you need to hit 50% to pass, you also have to show a competency with every learning outcome on the curriculum. We’ll see how it goes. My subject areas haven’t been hit yet.

The second point is essentially what I said, it’s a cop out for a teacher who is bad at setting exams. Easily fixed by some QA and/or collaboration. At least run it by a TA. Also they should read the curriculum before writing an assessment.

Grading on a curve is always absurd to me: it’s a cop out for teachers who don’t know how to set curriculum/exams properly and demeans the education process.

Should just be

• here’s a list of things you learn in this class
• you demonstrate understanding and skill over about 60% of that list
• you get a grade of 60%

I liked him thought he did a good job in WeCrashed because he was playing a weirdo the audience was meant to hate. As always, he brought a certain I-can’t-stand-this-man energy to the role

There are a lot of ‘mini’ roundabouts in my country that are fully flat to the ground. The point is to set the rules for right of way, entering and exiting, indication etc in a way people find familiar (we have lots of roundabouts). Just one roundabout sign at each entrance with standard road markings and everyone knows what’s up.

I seem to completely misunderstand the dynamic.

As I see it, you have paid $700k for the house with the bank’s money (in this thread there is no deposit), bought back some of the house from the bank with $50k of your own money and then lost the house so you’re out $50k with no house.

If the bank does pay out some of the value of the house to you based on equity, it’s just going to be a smaller amount than $50k since the value of the house is lower and part of your repayment went to interest so you don’t even get $50k worth of equity. This feels like a worse position to me.

Like the bank has lost money for sure, but we are not getting that are we?

I can see making some clans like nosferatu or malk part of some dlc as they have so much unique stuff and presumably require a lot of extra development. I don’t imagine that is applicable to toreador though. Also no day one dlc please. If it’s ready at launch, if should be in the base game

This is half-true. Both versions are acceptable for most, possibly all emotions.

Eg ‘fearg’ is anger, which would be on you. “tá fearg orm” ~ Anger is on me

‘feargach’ is angry, which you can be. “táim feargach” ~ i am angry

Best advice. Players start the game knowing how and why they are going to stick together.

I’m also inclined to put my thumb on the scale a little as DM and give the players a loose connection that they can build on and incorporate into their characters while building. BG3 did it really well - everyone has a tadpole in their head, y’all gonna be mindflayers if you leave the group.

I recently had players all start as fresh recruits in an organisation - they got to decide the organisation - where the higher-ups put them together. Previously I did a one shot at level 5 where players already had an adventuring group together 20 years before and were called back together for one last mission.
