The combat is fairly challenging - it’s easy for one or two bad moves (or bad luck) to kill your whole party in a battle. It also takes a bit to learn the combat system if you haven’t played D&D.

I’ve always been interested in D&D, but no never played it.

You end up with 4 different characters with different strengths and weaknesses and each with a bunch of different abilities that have different rules for when and how often you can use them.

I have played quite a few games with the party system, so I have so previous knowledge on the strengths and weaknesses of party members, which may help. Thanks for the info!

Outside the combat, how have you liked the game?

I haven’t played any Baldurs gate before, but the hype has definitely made me look into it.

Definitely seems like a game I’d like, a fantasy RPG, I haven’t always loved turned based combat, so that’s one of my hold ups. What do y’all think of the combat system?

It’s a blob of cells not a baby.

I disagree.

I guess if I thought souls were real I could see where you’re coming from.

I don’t see it as a ‘soul’ - just a human life that deserves some sort of right to life.

And there are lines of people to adopt healthy Caucasian babies, sure but in reality many kids spend life in the system.

Do you have data that shows that caucasian babies are being adopted but brown babies aren’t?

Nope, I fight for kids that aren’t ready to be a parent

Plenty of people are waiting to adopt a baby, the ‘kids’ (who are often mid 20’s-mid 30’s) who don’t want to have the responsibility of raising the child they chose to bring into the world, don’t need to. There are lines of people wanting to adopt.

kids that do not want to deliver their abusers children

Can you expand on this?

Being pro-life is defending a possibility over an actual sentient person.

Defending the rights of a baby that can’t fight for themselves*

We are defined by fighting for those who aren’t strong enough to fight for themselves.

It is.

If you want to get paid $20, find someone to pay you $20/hour

Which part? The fees?

What bank do you have that charges $35 for a transfer?

I transfer between b of a and chase bank, both known for having decently high fees, without any of those fees.

The $35 amount I’ve only seen with overdrafting. Do you overdraft every single transfer?

Same with us. I don’t know what these other folks are talking about. I transfer seemlessly between my accounts at different banks.

Well for example the right to get the medical care you need.

“Need” - define need? Is a sex change for a 13 year old a necessity? If a girl wants boob implants at age 13, that’s not necessary.

The right to take a goddamn piss in a public toilet.

You forcing anybody into a specific restroom despite protests from the majority doesn’t make you right. Women should use the women’s restroom, guys should use the guys restroom. I have advocated for penis room vs vagina room, though.

The right to participate in society as you are

No, you want it as they ‘identify.’ Just because someone thinks they are something else, doesn’t mean they are that thing. I used to be called ‘doggy boy’ because I liked digging holes. I wasn’t literally a dog.

rather than a how some fascist demagogue has determined you should be.

Fascist demagogue = nature? I get you may have an issue with mother nature, but that’s your fight, don’t force everyone to abide by your unpopular view of the world.

There is no country in this world where workers all get to negotiate their pay.

In the U.S. for the most part people are able to. Except in situations where the government forces a floor. So we’re damn close, every individual can choose to work for X amount of pay or not. Once again, except in cases where the government forces a minimum.

Capitlism is about the ability of selling your services to a willing party. It always has been, and always will.

If I want to stack boxes for $2 an hour, I have that right. If I want to stack boxes for $200 I have the right to make that right. Everyone has the ability to accept my offer, or deny it. Capitalism, baby.

Absolutely it’s due to capitalism

That’s your government not doing their job. And actively working against the workers.

Blame big government that forces people to work at a non negotiated price, not capitalism.

Maybe work on your reading comprehension and come back to me whenever you don’t find me advocating for cOmMuNisM.

Marxism put into a political system has always been a form of communism. If you aren’t arguing for that, why are you responding to a post and a comment about communism?

I was merely mocking your naive worship of a broken and failed system.

Because I acknowledge that capitalism isn’t perfect, but it’s by far the best political system that’s taken more out of poverty than any other economic system doesn’t mean I have naive worship. Also, it’s not a broken and failed system. You want to see a broken and failed system? See every single communist country that’s ever existed.

Maybe one day you will wake you up when they automate your very useful 1-2 hours a day position.

That won’t make me communist. And my field is one of the few that are still hiring at a good pace, most tech companies are in a stand still and laying people off. My field has been steady for the last 100 years at least.

Regardless, I’m selling my work for a fair rate, and that’s what capitalism is. If you are willingly working somewhere at an agreed upon price, thank capitalism.

Working for a living is the core of communism.

totalitarianism is the core of communism.

Workers are more populous and generate all the value

Then negotiate, if you do create the value, then you can sell your services for more.

we would like a larger share of the value we create.

See above.

Nobody is under attack.

There’s some bigots, but what rights are under attack?

literally want you exterminated,

Not literally. Just because I recognize a man is a man, doesn’t mean I literally want to kill them.

None of my kids are Trans, but if they were I would fight for them.

How? How would you fight for them? What rights do they not have that an average person has?

I fight for all the kids that are oppressed by wankers like you.

You don’t fight for all kids, or you’d be protesting abortions.

That’s not capitalism, that’s government not doing their job.

Biden forced the railway workers to keep working despite the strike. Is that due to capitalism?

I work hard because I want to retire in two years, not twenty.

Sweet, and because of capitalism you can do that.

I want to retire because I started out under the boot of surpressed wages because of the corruption incarnate in capitalism.

You mean because when you started, you couldn’t provide more than a small amount of value to your employer? It’s not anyone elses fault that nobody wanted to pay you more than you earned.

Someone like you with a cushy job (that sounds pretty ripe for being automated) has zero clue of the hardships inflicted on everyday working people. Maybe soon you will find out.

Ahhhh yes, you know so much about my work history because you’ve only heard about what I’ve done the last two years. I went to 5 years of school, earned 2 degrees, the hardest certification in the united states that took 18 months of studying, while working full time.

I worked hard then, so I can have a ‘cushy’ job now. Once again, at the heart of capitalism is that you’re worth what someone will pay you.

no way forward for the current system

Are you not the one that said that you ‘started out under the boot’ and now you do very well, and are self-employed? That you work so much harder than me (clearly a point of pride for you)?

That’s because of capitalism, homie. Under communism, you just work forever for an even lower wage than you earned when you were ‘under the boot,’ and if you wanted to earn more - that’s the thing! you couldn’t! you either get jailed or killed. Communism is fun!

Ya know, there are a few communist countries that you should try and go to work for, if you prefer that!

Do you think the people who built these platforms are teens?

I don’t know who created this platform, but I doubt they’re teens. The vast majority of users are young.

Marxist through and through.

Please educate yourself then. Marxism has only resulted in death and destruction. It has put countries back hundreds of years and have killed hundreds of millions of people.

Just because workers unions of the past were overturned by tyrants and capitalists alike

I’m pro union, and capitalist. Capitalism isn’t anti-union. Once again, please educate yourself. Advocating for marxism is 100x worse than advocating for nazism.

The system in which I am forced to participate in is fundamentally flawed.

Please move to a communist country and see what you’re forced to do.

The only reason you’re an engineer is because you were allowed that choice. Under communism you would likely have been killed simply for being college educated.

you’re not anti communist or pro capitalist. you’re out to get what you can for your own survival.

I’m anti-communist and pro-capitalist. I don’t care what you think I am, I’m about as pro-capitalist as you get.

You quoted me…so what? Is that supposed to prove some weird point of yours?

Capitalism isn’t about working hard, it’s about getting paid what you’re worth. I get by on 1.2-1.3k hours a year in exchange for 100k. I could get closer to 140-150k if I wanted to work my ass off, I don’.

Being pro capitalist doesn’t mean I need to work my ass off. A core principle says that two parties come together to agree to an exchange of services and pay, without another party (generally government) interfering.
