How did the Wayne family get rich anyway. I assume originally they owned factories or railroads or whatever. Those things don't exist anymore so what makes modern Batman the big bucks

There is an issue in the 80s that has a reporter confronting Bruce Wayne about his fortune being built on arms manufacturing.

I think since it is supposed to be a mix of finance, pharmaceutical, land ownership, and "advanced tech".

Finished Silent Hill 2. When it's doing story it's hammy but even with over two decades of age where it does look very old in certain respects there's strokes of excellent horror directing. The third quarter (from the nightmare hospital to when you reach the boat) stands out. I felt a sense of dread when you go down the very long elevator expecting to enter a mine or sewer and emerge in silent, dimly lit office hallways that shouldn't be there.

Something that really stands out with SH1 and 2 is just how great the pre-rendered models look. Famously Takayoshi Sato, the CGI director, lived full time in the Konami office during SH1's development to singlehandedly perfect all the CGI cutscenes. The scene in 2 of James and Maria talking between the bars as she veers between personas is probably the most chilling horror moment period for me. I get why they went for in-engine custscenes with Silent Hill 3 because those are some of the best character models on the PS2, but I would loved to have seen what Sato could pull off with even more experience under his belt.

the problem with those systems is that they suck, not that they're new or different than what you see in other crpgs. would easily recommend a mod that just auto wins crusade battles or w/e since disabling them normally actually locks you out of content lol

Strong disagreement there, I enjoyed the new mechanics and thought they added a lot to Kingmaker/WotR. If new mechanics aren't what you meant, what sort of innovations are you talking about?

does doing a second or third long rest in the first act’s first part resolve the emerald grove dilemma? the druids insist they’ll do it on the second night but I haven’t even made my way near the relevant quest marker because I was doing the whole hag thing, but I can’t get through the door without killing the poor guy so I’m gonna go back later and try a different approach. anyway I want to go see Karlach before the goblin camp and I’m sure I will require a long rest to proceed to the goblins after that. will the grove become enthorned or is there no actual timer ticking down?

there is a timer but no one is sure how exactly it ticks forward. I did two rests in between the ritual starting and wiping out the goblins and the grove wasn’t sealed.

If it was Brooding Mawlek we both bounced off the same wall lol, this time I'm leaving that fucker until way later. Ended up going right to him after getting wall jump and boy howdy was that a mistake.

I'm just stacking whatever I can find to make me more durable and heal faster and more often and hoping eventually it clicks

maybe I'll give that a try once I finish XC3. it's funny cause I've been playing a bunch of games lately that offer Story Mode and I think "pft what kind of loser chooses that" before picking hard/insane. but I'd have absolutely gone down to story mode in HK. so I’m that kind of loser.
