Mutually assured destruction brought to the logical conclusion.

I learned how to rotate text in paint/.net. So I put more effort into this then Biden put into his entire presidency.

(Gods,) D&D gods suck so much. I went in to BG3 knowing basically nothing about D&D lore, besides that it was generic fantasy. The first 2ish chapters were great because I didn’t know how much people were being honest or if they were lying about things.

I assumed Shar was “true” evil, but also hoped Shadowheart was right in that she was a genuine source of comfort and hope for broken and hurting people. Just misunderstood by those outside her influence. Nope. Just evil-sadist.

It sucks, because I feel like Larian was going for a more ambiguous or at least creative style, but ultimately had to bend to the canon of D&D because fans/wotc can’t accept anything that isn’t “true to canon”.

Same goes for elder scrolls lore. They got some good ideas in there, but its all weighted down by the worst most overused tropes in fantasy. They ultimately retreat to it for the “main” story. And its only gotten worse over time. Morrowind has you recreating a prophecy, possibly illegitamately, to beat the big bad. Skyrim… has you pick between two fascists.

Kobolds are good.

No I’m not biased.

Remember when everyone did 10% “inflation” last year?

So cool that the “free market” works on supply and demand and we can choose to not buy food to send a message to our market partners so they readjust.

And don’t forget that the direct death count is in the 30-50 range. The UN says up to 4000 excess deaths over the 60 year post-disaster period. For the worst nuclear disaster. A disaster which can be prevented.

Compare that with the uncountable deaths yearly from coal burning. Which is a disaster that can’t be prevented (except by not doing it). And thats not including climate change. The Chernobyl disaster is nothing compare to the social murder occurring daily in America.

(Not to mention the USSR relocated thousands of people out of the area. Compare that any of the thousands of superfund sites, where there is basically no assistance to leave. And if you do get compensation its after decades of legal battles.)
