Nice edit but too late

You didn't get hounded out. You left voluntarily. Twice. Nobody told you to leave. You stopped posting in a huge huff because we cracked huge holes in your ideology over and over and instead of reconsidering your ideology and worldview you doubled down every time and always always always always got lost in nitpicking the definition of specific words.

The definition of specific words matters. Like here, for example:

hounded; hounding; hounds. transitive verb. : to pursue with or as if with hounds. : to drive or affect by persistent harassing

Or maybe "to force somebody to leave a job or a place, especially by making their life difficult and unpleasant"

I am saying I was persistently harassed. It drove me away. I came back because someone literally reached out and mentioned that people in the thread were saying they wished I'd come back.

When I did, it was a lot quieter, way more hostile, with less of what made it fun and way more harassment.

HYL is right, it got to me.

Elephant Ambush posted:

That or you did the "quote where I said those specific words" thing when someone paraphrased you when the specific words didn't actually matter in discerning your position on any given issue

Yeah, there was a lot of "so you're saying 'xyz thing that I didn't say'?" so I did a lot of correcting people.

I'm not going to respond to the rest of your diatribe since it doesn't really seem the place for it, but maybe I'm wrong, I don't really know the vibe here yet.

You didn't change my worldview because your arguments suck.

i mean air fryer rolls off the tongue better than "compact, counter usable convection oven", it doesn't seem particularly egregious to me

Are they worth it? Heard a lot of hype about them, but not sure if we should pull the trigger. Are they easier/better tasting that standard cooking?

It’s good, we like it, but we already had a (non-convection) toaster oven and we wouldn’t have bought the air fryer ourselves. It’s not better enough than other gadgets to justify the money/taking up space/having yet another kitchen thing, but if I was equipping my kitchen from scratch I’d think about getting a convection oven/air fryer. Her mom just buys whatever’s on special at Costco and then gives us stuff when we visit because she’s bought something she won’t use herself, or needs to free up space so she can, I guess, go to Costco again.

The balder side sword is a lightsaber when you magic weapon it. How do people manage to play other builds?

I feel like that is dark souls 2 but it leads to my larger argument: why isn't every game about the balder side sword?

I definitely recommend a slow cooker and and rice cooker to all, and an instant pot if you love beans or hard boiled eggs. Or big hunks of tough meat but that's going to prime steak prices nowadays. Being able to get a huge amount of some staple all done up without you needing to do much means you can spend more time fiddling around with the fun stuff.

My buddy's got an air fryer and swears by it for making tofu snacks. I've been tempted for this purpose but so far good ol' "450 degrees for 25 minutes" has worked for tofu as well as it has most every veggie

I've got the BSS on my fartin around sorcery guy on my Switch DS1 save and it's fine and all, but it's no Zweihander. I'm starting out on the wrong foot with this one because I deeply resent having to invest stats in something other than str/vig/end. I'm playing this completely blind but just found the Halberd so will be getting the stats for that and dumping the rest to 99 AGI

Indiana, the state AG a few years back had to literally order the state troopers multiple times to stop raiding shops with CBD products lol. Since then there has been absolutely no movement, no bills, no debate, nothin. State GOP stance is "we will when the Feds make us" and the Feds aren't ever gonna do that so it's never gonna happen. Whenever it comes time to moan about how there's not enough revenue the response is basically just a flat "No", not even a super corrupt and lovely implementation is being considered.

If there's another contender I'm not sure who it would be, Utah probably except I think they got medical by ballot

Pretty hosed situation where not even the prospect of bales of money will make the GOP move. Letting businesses in is a complete racket here. Like alcohol licenses: create a system for licensing, charge tens of thousands of dollars to just BID on the licenses, if you lose, sorry we keep the $$

barbarian feels pretty good rn, e.g., here's barb me walking away from a fight our duo initiated against a duo, which caused a third duo to try to third-party us. ended up killing 3 out of 4 opponents, and mine is a 2-perk character running the default loadout



also there was a solo dungeon added for this playtest, but it was a bit overtuned even for this game early on, and they had to nerf goblin archers in a few different ways. that said, i'm moderately confident that the meta for solo goblin dugeon is going rogue with a nice paid rapier (because stock daggers are zdps)

in any event, i'm just happy that wizards' comparative power level has gone down since the last playtest, where you could just jackie chan 1v3s as a solo wizard lmao

nah, you have it right. in fact, this christmas there just was a homm 3 tournament with an all-time high prize pool, roughly 10k usd. and yeah, the game does have pretty solid might and magic vibe going on, though that was not at all popular here - just the strategies were

a sibling got an air fryer and used it to roast red snapper daily at my mom's house for some bullshit diet. Eventually, the clinging, horrifying stench had permeated every surface and was leaking into bedrooms and it caused an eruption in which it was demanded the air fryer disappear

We volunteered to take it. It makes wings or toasts up vegetable sides. It is so much countertop room spent for such a niche functionality but it was $free so I'm not complaining (I'm complaining)
