I’m +30h into the game, just beat the wing guy at the start of act 2. I don’t want this to be a hate thread or anything like that since I don’t hate bg3. The game has great production value, dialogues are very well written, characters are full of personalty, I like the combat, character creation and class choices are fun. Everyone knows these things are good. Every other Youtube video essayist has already talked about it. I’m making this post because I couldn’t find any good constrictive criticism. I’d want to go a bit deeper than just accepting the fact it’s not for me and moving on. Mostly since Baldur’s Gate 3 seems like a game that I should enjoy. I like story games and I like long rpgs that I can obsess over. This post is not going to be any “definitive deconstruction”though. I haven’t finished the game and I’m not sure if I will. I’ve watched and read some opinions about later parts and I haven’t found anything that would change my stance.
The biggest issue isn’t that Baldur’s Gate 3 has some one cardinal error or major problem. Although there are some things I have an issue with, I’ll get to it. To put it all in one sentence: My biggest problem is that at no point the game has managed to hook me or make me want to see the whole thing to the end. Their is the good, the bad, nothing ugly but nothing outstanding either. I really don’t feel like spending +100h on a game that I think is just okay. I searched to see what it was that made people truly fall in love with bg3 and some opinions I just don’t vibe with. Some say they’ve got into it when they heard the main menu theme, when they’ve made their custom character or when they first landed on the beach and were hooked by the call of adventure. I don’t share those feelings but they are feelings. The fact that I don’t share them doesn’t mean that they aren’t valid.
At the same time I’ve read some points that made me wonder whether or not we are playing the same game. One thing that everyone always brings up is that “the game is great at giving you freedom to approach and solve problems the way you want”. An example of it is supposed to be how you can put a bunch of explosive barrels near one of the goblin leaders to one shot them. You’ve used your knowledge about the game to cheese an encounter.That’s what I mean when I say that the game is good but not fantastic. I don’t deny that such little things have value but they aren’t a selling point by themselves. Learning about that didn’t make me jump from my chair and make me stand their with my mouth open for an hour. Yeah, It’s cool that you can do it but does it really matter if the end result is always the same?
Speaking of results, the whole “actions have consequences” feels greatly overblown. Maybe I feel like it because I didn’t get to act 3, but from what I googled many people had issues with act 3 and community also seems to be in agreement that the story gets worse over time. The fact that the devs are focused on expanding the late game experience also supports that view. Yet even if turning a dead man into an undead and heaving his wife deal with him is going to return later on, it still doesn’t feel all that revolutionary, does it? “Actions have consequences” seems like a very standard rpg trope. I don’t see how bg3 is any special in that regard. Nothing that I’ve seen so far made me believe that it is and things I read on the internet only strengthens my view.
Another point is that “the world reacts to your actions”. I’ve seen a bunch of those YT shorts titled “what happens if you do X before/when/if you do Y in Baldur’s Gate 3”. My experience was an opposite of that and It’s not like I was going out of my way to break the game. You know how in act 1 you get a quest from Wyll to kill Karlach and later on you learn that she’s fine and can join your team? I didn’t know she’s a potential party member so I went with Wyll, the quest giver, to kill the alleged monster but when I made her join, both of them just stood their looking at each other and didn’t say anything before I took a long rest. That’s just act 1 mind you. Another example, something that made me close the game and write this whole thing. The moment where the wing guy comes in in act 2 saying he wants to bring the cleric lady to his boss alive. Not kill, keep her alive. My immediate though was: what if I would beat him and kept him alive instead? The game has non-lethal combat toggle after all. Maybe we could imprison and interrogate him? Nope, nothing like this happened. You have to either kill him or help him. This entire “play the game your way”, ”be creative with every encounter” or ”the world will react to your action” goes completely out of the window.
But maybe if I would complete the game than my opinion would change. Maybe if I’d keep on playing a bit longer I’d find something that would pick my interest. Surely a critically acclaimed, award winning goty has to blow my mind eventually. I’ve being telling myself this after every enemy encounter and after every major dialogue. “It’ll pick up the pace any second now”, but it never does. If the game couldn’t hook me after 30h, I strongly doubt that seen the ending is going to change anything. The most important thing any story, especially longer ones, must do as early as possible is to develop “trust”. If you want to have your plot to be a slow burn with lots of early set ups and big pay offs, you need to make your audience trust you. You can make your story as slow as you see fit, but you need to make them believe that all of it goes somewhere. There wasn’t a single point in bg3 that would make me believe that this whole deal with worms, cultists, magic artefacts and my teammates’ personal drama is going to evolve into anything truly interesting.
It will go “somewhere”, like I’ve seen with Gale. First you learn that he’s a wizard, then you learn he needs to consume magical artefacts, then you learn that he has a magic bomb inside him and then you learn he can blow himself up to beat the bad guys. None of these plot points I find to be particularly interesting. They are a competent plot points but they don’t form any compelling story. It reminds me of that one time Matt Stone and Trey Parker talked about story structure. Never connect your story bits with “and then”, use things like“but”or“therefore”. What we end up with are a bunch of names and events that I can’t relate to, learn anything useful from or form any emotional connection with. It’s lore over story. The way the main story develops is that you learn that “a guy did a thing so we have to go there and do that”. There doesn’t seem to be any form of nuance to any of this. Every major choice boils down to whether you want to be good or evil. Do you want to save refugees from evil goblins or murder them for some reason. Do you want to let a sadist throw gnomes into lava or do you want to throw him into lava.
Another issue is that the set ups themselves are not all that interesting. Most of them are just classic mystery boxes. What’s the deal Shadowheart’s artefact? What’s Nightsong? Why did Wyll make a pact with a demon? Why have we not turn into an alien? Who is the night visitor? Who or what is the Absolute? A good mystery gives you a question and basic information allowing you to make theories about what the answer could be. A simpler, non-mystery set up establishes all the information at the start and just develops it. A mystery box is when the audience is presented with a problem and when they start asking, the answers are “a good question, for a later time”. You know why Karlach is the best teammate? Because she just tells you what’s going on. Shadowheart claims to have no memory, so she doesn’t say anything. Gale is to afraid open up about his issue, so he doesn’t say anything. Lae'zel sees you as inferior, so she doesn’t say anything. Wyll has made a pact, so he can’t say anything. Astarion is evil, so he doesn’t say anything. Karlach openly talks about her heart and history from the start. Everything else is just mystery box. The answer is simple but we can’t learn it for some arbitrary reasons.
Most of those problems probably comes down to the game just not being for me and that’s fine. I don’t want to convince people who enjoy bg3 to start hating the game. I’m honestly curies of how the fans feel about all of this. I don’t mind the spoilers. I’m trying to be contractive and my hopes are that some more knowledgable people will share their own opinion.

Background/short vent: We hired a friend of a friend as an agent, he’d worked with a bunch of our friends on their purchases. We’ve been looking for a while and found a house we liked it (not loved) and agent encouraged us to make an offer. Long story short the offer was very aggressive (+50k over asking with almost zero contingencies, 40k due diligence fee). He told us this rather quickly, but we didn’t digest it fully, we had our kids with us and were naively thinking the agent had our best interests in mind. Offer was accepted and signed the contract in a rush. Only the next day when I started having some remorse did I realize how aggressive our offer was and that the only way out is losing 40k due diligence fee (we’re in the Raleigh, NC area and NC is a due diligence fee state). Fortunately the inspections have come back good. We are now waiting on appraisal. To be clear, this was MY fault and complete negligence for not being more educated and not getting an attorney/third party to look at the contract at the start.
My question is whether it makes sense to hire an attorney to make sure everything is kosher with our closing. Would they be doing the same thing as what the Closing Attorney (recommended by the agent) is doing? It sounds like they are paralegals doing title work, but I’m just worried after not getting the right people involved from the start.

I have some thoughts to share about the lyrics of don't wanna break up again.
"I fall asleep crying, you turn up the TV. You don't wanna hear me, one more sleepless night."
If she has fallen asleep crying, how is she cognizant of the fact he's turned up the TV? Isn't that like someone saying they "turned up missing"? Was she awake or asleep?
She then goes on to say "one more sleepless night." But she just said she has fallen asleep crying. So I don't think it's a sleepless night for her, unless she is not in fact asleep. Is it a sleepless night for him, for her, or for both parties involved? It sounds to me like he's watching TV and maybe just wants to binge-watch Ted Lasso.
None of this makes any sense to me, and I don't believe it was thought through very well.
I don't understand the lyrics to the title track either - if anyone gets it, please let me know.
I also don't like the NDA and Dalton not having a right to reply. Too bad she didn't get Pete to sign one I guess.
Wishing you all a happy Sunday!

Hello,
I've been feeling tormented for the past few months. I have no one to talk to about this issue, as it involves the only two people I'm close with, so I'd really like to get an outside perspective.
I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend (22m) for almost two years now. Things are going well at the moment. We've had some problems in the past, which we managed to more or less resolve through communication, including a major one: a year ago, I crossed some boundaries concerning fidelity. I was lacking a lot of affection in my relationship at the time (we were having frequent arguments due to his lack of effort), and I met a guy at a party who I found very attractive. He started flirting with me, and I let myself enjoy the attention while setting boundaries when he wanted me to be explicit about my attraction (for example, I avoided his invitations to meet up or when he asked me for a kiss). I felt very guilty afterward, cut off contact with the other guy, and told my boyfriend what had happened two or three months later. He forgave me, but now he has a lot of concerns whenever I talk to a guy, which I completely understand.
After that, our relationship was pretty calm. I stopped going out with friends as much—it was mostly just acquaintances from university—so my life revolved around my studies, my hobbies, and my boyfriend. But towards the end of 2023, a new guy joined my program at university. I was the first person to welcome him as he seemed lost. Our interactions were limited to greeting each other in class until Valentine's Day, when I was sitting alone at university, and he came over to join me. He started getting to know me, asking about my hobbies, and suggested we hang out together outside of classes. I was really happy because I missed going out with friends.
The next day, we started sitting next to each other in class, and we got to know each other better. He asked me a lot of questions about my life, my interests, the music I listen to, the books I read, etc. I was thrilled to share these things with someone since few people are interested in these topics when I try to talk about them. But what struck me the most was what he had to say—he has a fascinating world of his own, he's very elegant and romantic, and he has very refined tastes. We had a lot in common, too; we're both passionate about rock music, we both left a science prep school for university for the same reasons, and we're both highly gifted (so we share the same challenges). I started developing feelings as we talked—he's really the type of person I like. I also told him about my love life with my boyfriend, and he told me he was in a relationship too, so I didn't think it was mutual at the time. (Another detail: our respective partners know each other and were friends in high school, which was a funny coincidence for us. Both are studying abroad, so we're in long-distance relationships.)
EDIT : in my case, my long-distance relationship is not permanent and has not always been long-distance. I have only been in a long-distance relationship since the beginning of 2024, but we have been together since 2022, and my boyfriend is coming back in January 2025
However, I was very surprised when he asked for my Instagram account that day. He handed me his phone to look up my account, and I saw that his search history was filled with accounts with my name (there must have been about twenty). I didn't say anything but started to wonder if he liked me. I told my boyfriend about this encounter with the guy (omitting the fact that I liked him because I had no intention of crossing any boundaries this time—I wanted to keep it to a friendship, hoping my feelings would fade over time). My boyfriend immediately concluded that the guy was interested in me based on his Instagram searches, the fact that he suggested hanging out together during our first conversation, all his questions about my interests, etc. So, he's very wary of this guy. He said he would tell the guy's girlfriend if he found out he was cheating with me.
For my part, I wanted to check if he was really interested in me or not because I didn't want to ruin a potentially great friendship based on possibly false assumptions. This guy and I have grown very close. We often eat together, go out just the two of us outside of classes, help each other with homework and studying, share a lot about our lives, and do sports together. He's very attentive to me (for example, once I told him I liked a certain kind of compote, and the following days, he started bringing two of them—one for him and one for me; he buys me drinks before meeting up with me; once we went out at 5:30 PM, my mom was supposed to pick me up but had an emergency and he waited with me until 8:30 PM; he gave me a flower made out of origami). I found his behavior quite ambiguous because usually, only guys who are interested in me treat me this way, but he seems genuinely happy for me whenever I talk about my love life with my boyfriend, unlike other guys. Also, he only has close female friends, so I don't know how to interpret his actions.
Recently, I met one of his best friends for the first time when we ran into each other at the university cafeteria. The three of us ate together. When I introduced myself to his friend with my name, she immediately said, "Oh, so you're THE [my name]," which threw me off. I asked her what she meant by "THE [my name]," and the guy jokingly said, "Do you think we talk bad about you?" I played along, saying yes. The girl laughed and said, "Oh, don't worry, he just told me you have a boyfriend studying in [name of city]." I found it strange that they talked about that, as I didn't know this girl at all, and I looked at my friend who seemed quite embarrassed. At one point, I was alone with her, and she said, "[Guy's name] told me you deleted Instagram! Why?" (I was taking a break from social media to focus on my exams, so the guy couldn't message me for a while, which I hadn't thought about—it created some distance between us for a week). I told my boyfriend all this, and it made him very concerned.
In short, my situation is complicated. I really wanted everything to remain purely friendly with this guy because I have real future plans with my boyfriend and I love him sincerely. But when I'm around this other guy, I can't shake off this attraction, and it's becoming quite frustrating because I'm used to being quite assertive and moving things forward quickly when I like a guy, but now I'm holding back despite my desires. Also, my friendship with him really bothers my boyfriend, who thinks the guy has bad intentions and has many concerns about me due to my past actions. But at the same time, I really enjoy this guy's company—I've never had such a pleasant friendship, so I don't want to lose it. I don't know if I should be as wary of him as my boyfriend is. Usually, the guys who like me are much more explicit about it. To my boyfriend, it's obvious that he's interested in me, but personally, I don't know. I'm lost.

As the title says, a year ago I was on a bachelor party, was speeding down a hill a little too quick, fishtailed, and flipped a cart twice and got pinned underneath it. I ended up tearing the main ligament that holds your foot together and breaking my foot in 3 spots (for the nerds who care it was the Lisfranc and metatarsals 1, 4, and 5).
Had to get surgery within 2 weeks and didn’t walk at all for nearly 4 months. Summer, let alone golf, was over before it started. Once I started walking again I had to go through copious amounts of PT and reconditioning to learn how to walk, jog, and run again. I’m still not at 100% and I don’t think I’ll ever truly be totally normal in my foot again.
Just a reminder to not be an idiot out there. Golf carts can be fun to whip around in, but they provide little protection in case of an accident. Ever since, I cringe at videos of people doing dumb stuff like running each other over or purposely crashing into each other or racing down hills flipping them.
I lived through the aftermath and it ain’t too fun. Golf is hard enough, don’t make it harder by breaking an arm.

Hello. I’d like to purchase a used car In a private party sale. I’ll be buying the car from NJ, my business is incorporated in DE. The business is a SmLLC and I’m a resident of neither NJ or DE.
How do I transfer ownership to my business? After buying, who do I sign the title to as the buyer?

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my recent experience and a valuable resource for anyone dealing with building and renovation projects in NSW. My husband and I (and too many others I know) got burned by a sketchy builder and wish I’d had better tools to review the contract before things went south.
To give back to the community, I’ve decided to share a ChatGPT prompt for thoroughly analyzing building renovation contracts. Save yourself the legal fees and headaches by using this. It also works well with Claude.
I’m now dedicated to assisting people navigating the building and renovation space with AI, custom GPTs, and prompts. Feel free to reach out if you need help.
Here’s the prompt to review your building contract like a pro. Would love to know if you find it helpful...

As the title suggests, can buyer agents represent two parties submitting an offer on the same property, and if yes, given that they have a fiduciary duty to their clients, do they have to disclose to all their clients that they have a conflict of interest?
I kinda suspect my agent is in that territory because they couldn't come to a couple of open houses last Saturday and then I learned that they were going to the same open houses on Sunday. When I asked, they said they are previewing the properties since I was interested and wanted to put an offer on both.
Would appreciate any advice on how you'd deal with this situation?

basically title, in every group with 1620+, people are playing like they must greed permanently and let everyone else do the mechs because "I'm a big 1620+ good boy, I'm the hard carry you peons must make sure I can hit properly!"
Problem comes when literally everyone in the party have this mentality. Even when mechs are mandatory no one moves an inch. Skull in g2 akkan is wrongly placed for R1? Yeah good luck having someone taking the time to repositionning it. Doing red links? Nah both afk in the back thinking the other will go away.
That's just some exemple but high ilvl is getting to the heads of so many players, no one wants to drop their uptime to focus on counters, positionning, dodging, cleaning adds and triggering retaliations patterns etc...
Come one guys your 1620 elixir 40 chars are no longer special so just do the mech properly it's annoying af to have to retry so many times.

Hello fellow RP gamers! My name is Daniel (he/they) and right now I've got this "plan"—OK maybe more of an itch than an actual game plan—to create and run a homebrew campaign using D&D5E, a system I know quite well.
My past GM experience: There was this one D&D5E mini-module I ran from beginning to end, in 16 sessions. It was rocky, a bit linear, but at least quite fun and conclusive for its group. Right now, I'm running the much longer Descent Into Avernus module on Thursday nights. I've actually run other stuff before those two, but I don't really call those good games. They ended whenever Past-Daniel would burn out after making some bad calls. A lot has changed since, and while I don't have much experience yet, I think I've cracked a code on how to have fun running a light-prep, low-burnout campaign. So let's give it a shot.
The Shot, Explained: As you could tell from the title of this post, I want to build and run a big homebrew campaign from scratch. That means taking ideas from my group, tossing them into my boiling hot brain cauldron, and then see what sort of cool world/plot-thingy gets brewed from it. The ideas, plans, tokens, and character sheets aside, eventually I'll prepare a page-length introduction for the new setting, informing the Party of their starting location. Maybe I'll make a basic map too.
I don't want to spent too much time stuck in prep though. I would like for us to start actually playing D&D as soon as we've become invested. Let's say, over the 1-2 weeks after we form the group, I start putting together a homebrew setting. Small and simple to begin with, but it should also be attractive and mysterious enough for the group, full of possibilities they would enjoy. The rest of the campaign setting can be improvised as we go.
Improvised, but not rudderless. A probable structure for it, including milestones that I can plan around, will be created by the players at the start of the campaign, and at other points throughout it. That's right! As the players, YOU get to generate the goals of this campaign. As the DM, I'm only here to create the obstacles against—and the opportunities for—you achieving those goals. This is a bit different from the "DM explains problem, Players react to problem" formula in modules that I feel restricts choices while putting a lot more creative work on the DM's shoulders. If you think this is cool, then maybe you should apply!
But wait, there's more! I am looking for players who fit the following criteria (please read it all carefully before thinking about applying):

• Age: I'm 23 FYI, and I'm looking for people around my age group, so 20s and 30s in other words, people like me with chronic online-ness and brain fog.
• Computer Specs: I'm gonna be hosting this campaign on a dedicated Foundry VTT server! There will be basic tokens and maps for combat and a little bit of automation. Nothing excessive though. That means, your computer setup should more or less fit these specifications: Windows 10 or 11, macOS Big Sur (or newer), or Linux operating systems (Ubuntu 22+, Debian 11+, Redhat 9+, Arch) with support for 64-bit architecture. An integrated GPU to enable hardware acceleration. 8 GB of RAM. A monitor no smaller than 1366x768 (or else the UI will be cramped for you). A modern web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, or Edge with hardware acceleration enabled (Safari doesn't work). I prefer you keep your character sheets solely in Foundry VTT, which means if you're coming from Roll20 or D&DBeyond, some of your experiences may not apply here. Also, we are using Discord so please have an account for that.
• Clarity: You have a clear mic voice on Discord and a reliable Internet connection allowing you to hear everyone else (and my Kenku FM music bot, if you want to). Plus you are fluent in English. This is a Voice-only campaign so a web camera is not necessary.
• Scheduling: You subscribe to our WEEKLY scheduled meeting time of SATURDAY 2PM US PACIFIC TIME (UTC-8); each ideal session will be roughly 3-4 HOURS LONG. I suck at predictions but let's assume this campaign is set to conclude in almost 1 year from now. If you cannot make it to an upcoming session, then you should inform this group ahead of the time. Overall, you are confident that your forthcoming schedule is unlikely to thwart the campaign progression that the rest of this group desires; in other words, you believe that your work, school, family, and self-care obligations will not be stopping you from bringing your presence and focus to each session. Or at least, not frequent enough for the rest of us to be worried about you or the health of this campaign. Whether or not repeated unannounced absences/tardiness may warrant a player's dismissal from this campaign will likely be a matter of collective opinion.
• Experience: You have played D&D5E or a similar TTRPG system before and are comfortable with improvised roleplay and decision-making. Sorry, but I am not looking for brand-new players.
• Proactivity: You are proactive about setting your own character's goals and communicating them. Before this campaign begins, you will create a PC with multiple short-term and mid-term goals OR you are welcome to come up those goals first, and then flesh out your PC that fits them later. Please don't work alone on this, because while having individual goals can be great, sharing some goals with your party-mates is an absolute must! We intend for character goals to drive the progression of this campaign, typically into uncharted territory—meaning, this group will set goals with the understanding that their PCs are not 100% guaranteed to accomplish them. And should any of your original goals no longer be feasible, we will alter them or make up new ones!
• Notekeeping: In the event that this group does not have a designated note-taking player (a volunteer at best), you are willing to take notes and help your group record the progression of this campaign to the best of your own ability. Here I specifically mean notes that are publicly available, which can include Out-Of-Character information that may or may not be known In-Character.
• Teamwork: You are not a lone wolf. You have the awareness that you are playing with other people. One of your reasons for wanting to be here is to be part of a team, sharing the spotlight and the fun.
• Agreeability: You respect the GM's right of fair adjudication and final rulings during play.
• Creativity: You won't use AI-generated content in place of your own creativity for this campaign.
• Fair Behavior: You avoid the following behaviors, knowing they can result in hard warnings or getting removed from the group: Cheating. Meta-gaming. Constantly arguing over table rulings. Deliberately talking over others and hogging the spotlight. Lone-wolving like the full moon is always out. Also, you will never attempt the following acts in-character, knowing you may be removed from the group if so: Physical torture. Nonconsensual sexual contact. Sexual threats. Owning slaves or profiting from slavery. Reprehensible uses of mind-control magic.
• Safe Space: You do not engage in any bigoted behaviors, harassment, or spreading of hate speech & misinformation. This group is intended to be a safe space. No one in it should feel unwelcome or challenged because of their race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, or physical/mental ability.
• To show that you have read all the criteria, don't answer the favorite color question. Just leave it blank.

How to Apply: Fill out the interest form linked here (https://forms.gle/xVQoacJ91ivspBEPA). I'm looking for a group of 4 players. Maybe 5, we'll see. Depending on how quickly I get response forms, this could take from a couple days to weeks. There's no set deadline for the choosing process, yet. However, I don't want to keep applicants waiting too long on an answer from me, so you should hear from me within a week of submitting your form. I'll be reaching out to any promising applicants for a casual interview over Discord, preferably in voice chat. It's either that or a polite rejection.
Additional FAQ
What are the rules for character creation? House rules? Characters start at 3rd level. Any official D&D5E published content besides Unearthed Arcana is automatically approved. Anything else is approved or rejected on a case-by-case basis, just as they're presented to me for review. Additional character creation specifications and house rules will be discussed and formulated after we gather first and discuss character goals and the campaign setting.
What inspired you? Months of trial and error at GMing left something to be desired + being a player and watching my friends GM + idle Saturdays + read "The Game Master's Handbook of Proactive Roleplaying" at a bookstore and it made me rethink how to run homebrew games vs. modules.
When are you usually free to be contacted via Discord? From 12pm to 12am PST any day of the week, chances are I should be able to get back to you within a few hours. Not counting emergencies, social gatherings that attract my full attention (such as other TTRPG campaigns I'm in), or if I'm vacationing someplace remote.

Can the world handle a time-stopper?

Reviews!

This book is a great read! Well written with good pacing and dynamic characters. The twists and turns of the book caught me by surprise and just made it impossible to put it down. Fans of urban fantasy and superhero stories will love this unique take on superhero dynamics and powers. Give it a try!
I follow the author on Jacksonwrites, so I've read snippets of Splitting Seconds before, but it was great to see how much more polished the finished product is! It's a fun premise with a lot of charm, with interesting characters and some really thoughtful worldbuilding. Would highly recommend you pick this up, as well as Evergreen, another novella by the author. Would highly recommend, take the time to pick this up, it's absolutely worth a second look.

Chapter One: Blind Dates:

It candidly sucked being surrounded by constant reminders that you’d lost the genetic lottery. Sure, it was easier than some people thought to get around the world without powers; it wasn’t like the government expected everyone to be a speedster or to be able to fly. Hell, a hundred years ago, nobody even had powers. The infrastructure was there. Life went on.
That said, staying cheery about the hand I’d been dealt was difficult. Enhanced perception was useful for a lot of things, from party tricks to always reading the fine print, but next to flight? Next to teleportation?
I’d gotten hung up on movement powers because I’d taken the bus to the bar, and the only superpower buses had was being late.
I was specifically at the bar for the sake of a blind date set up by my best friend; Todd was about two times my size and could throw a car across the street. His powers did nothing to help me with his current obsession with my dating life, but here we were. I supposed it was a fair obsession. I hadn’t been trying.
It honestly made sense that Todd had been keenly aware of romance since he’d met his soul mate. See, a strange thing with powers was that when you were around your soulmate, they were inexplicably stronger. Todd had met Soo-jung when she’d been on vacation in Crescent three years ago. They’d been inseparable since, and he’d been able to throw a car down three blocks instead of across the street.
Or so he claimed. Nobody was eager to volunteer their car for a demonstration, or anything else heavy and expensive, for that matter.
For my part, I hadn’t spent a lot of time guessing what would happen if I met my soulmate. It was a common train of thought for some, but I never found that it stopped at any fun stations. Instead, I indulged Todd’s meddling because he was my friend and bad dates at least made good stories.
“Gimme a sec, I’ll grab us another round,” Todd announced as he pushed out from our table. “Emma said she’s going to be here soon.”
“You bought the last one.”
“Yeah, now you can buy two in a row once Emma gets here and look generous. Think about it, man.”
“Sure,” I answered, but Todd was already walking away from the table and toward the bar.
Soo-jung leaned in. “You know he’s trying, right?”
“I know, maybe a little too much.”
“You don’t hear the half of it.”
“Oh, good.”
“I had to tell him to calm down when it came to buttering you up to Emma,” Soo-jung explained as she took a sip from her drink. “Sometimes I wonder about him.”
“I’m surprised he says anything nice about me.”
“He’d never say it to your face.” She watched Todd at the bar instead of looking at me during our conversation.
“Does that mean you’ll do it for him?”
“He trusts me to keep his secrets.”
“How about I suggest things and read your reaction?” I asked.
Soo-jung frowned in response before she pointedly rolled her eyes. She knew that reading reactions was one of my party tricks. If you couldn’t be powerful, you could at least read a room.
“Okay, fine. What do you know about Emma?”
“Her last name’s Tavish.”
“That’s it?”
“She works with Todd.”
“I knew that. He kept telling me she was a co-worker.”
“Todd thinks she’s cute.”
“He told you that?”
“No, but he has high standards for you.”
“That’s all the detail you have?”
“Todd’s not allowed to talk about work at hom- Hey, honey.”
Todd was back at the table holding all three pints in one arm; he passed one to each of us despite Soo being less than halfway finished with her current drink. Once he’d finished distributing, he turned to Soo-jung and asked her a question in broken Korean.
He’d been trying to learn, and he was still struggling. Not that I knew the language.
“Yes,” Soo-jung responded in English, “we were talking about Emma; no Korean around Toby. It’s rude.”
“I thought you wanted me to practice?”
“You can practice at home.”
“So we were talking about Emma,” Todd jumped back to the previous topic instead of discussing his inconsistent study of Korean. “Awesome woman, perfect for you, man.”
“What makes you say that?” I asked.
“Oh, she sucks too.”
“Ah, thanks.”
“He means powers-wise,” Soo-jung stepped in.
“So you do know something about her,” I pointed out.
“Something? I’ve been telling Soo everything since we got in the car to come here.” Just as Todd finished, he flinched. Soo had kicked him under the table. “But it wasn’t much, really.”
“What do I get to know?”
“I don’t want to taint your expectations.” He pushed his empty glass away, swapping it with the new one. “But can I be serious for a second?”
I considered it. “Sure.”
“She’s like my boss’, boss’ boss. So best behavior.”
“Wait. Seriously?” I leaned in. Todd worked for the CPRU, which meant that she had to be a heavy hitter if she was high-ranked in the city’s power regulation department. “She’s—”
“Not quite.” He backpedaled. “We share a building. She’s straight DPR.”
I blinked twice at that. “Way to set me up to fail.”
“You should believe in yourself,” Soo cut in.
“Todd, I w—”
“And she’s here.” Todd had turned his attention away from me and toward his phone. “Hope you’re ready to meet your soulmate.”
“Honey, don’t set that expectation.”
The bar’s front door opened, and I was the only one who could hear it over the atmosphere. I glanced over, and there she was.
She was stunning by any definition, but especially mine. Maybe it was a strange way to describe someone, but she looked beautifully meticulous, from brunette hair to olive skin, to her light blue jacket; everything was in place, and everything about her was gorgeous. Assuming that was Emma, I owed Todd big time.
“Okay, that can’t be her, right?” I asked Todd. After a second, without a response, I checked to see if he was waving at her, but he was stock still, a stupid grin plastered over his face. “Todd?”
Holy shit. The DPR had some crazy people on their roster, but this- I waved a hand in front of Todd’s face and snapped my fingers, then caught the sound of a single cautious heel clicking against the floor.
I stood up from the table and looked back at the door. She’d taken one step into the bar but had gotten caught in the same shock I had. “Emma?” I asked.
She snapped her attention to me -god, her eyes were- but she just looked confused.
“Toby,” I explained, “I’m Todd’s friend.” I motioned over to Todd’s still body and took the first steps to say hello. “This is really impressive. I didn’t think this was possible. It’s cool to meet someone wh—”
“I’m not doing this,” she said. “This is impossible. How are yo—”
“Trust me, this isn’t in my…” We stared at each other for a moment. Somehow, time stopped more than it already was.
“Holy shit.” We both said it at once.
“So this isn’t you?” she asked. Her eyes were still meandering around the frozen bar instead of staying in the conversation with me.
“No, it’s not.” I walked along her gaze and ended up against the bar counter, “did Todd tell you what my power was?”
“He just told me you wouldn’t mind having me around,” Emma answered, which somehow just brought up more questions.
“Enhanced perception.” I grabbed a drink off of the bar to see if I could; As soon as I touched it, it seemed to animate back to life. “What do you mean, ‘mind having you around’?”
“I dampen powers,” she explained, a little quieter than anything else she’d said, “make them weaker, hard to use. The technical definition is long and wordy so…” She sighed as she watched me slosh the beer around. “It’s a lot of trouble, really.”
“Probably good for work,” I offered.
“Pretty much the whole reason I have my job, but Callum wouldn’t admit that.” She approached, but there wasn’t an open seat near where I was standing, nor could we ask for someone to move. “Callum is—”
“Callum Rehsman, head of the D.P.R for the past six years,” I stepped in, “sorry, comes with the perception thing.”
“Honestly, I’m just glad I don’t have to explain it.” Emma took to leaning against the bar instead of walking over to a seat. She undid the top button of her shirt, which was probably too high for a date, anyway. “Emma Terish. Ring any bells up there?”
“No.”
“And you’re?”
“Toby Vander.” I put down the beer to offer my hand, and it froze as soon as I let go. We both paid attention to that instead of the potential formal hello.
“So this isn’t you.” Emma reached for the glass and picked it up; once she did, it animated just like it had with me. “And it isn’t me…”
I swallowed nothing. We’d both said holy shit for a reason, but it felt impossible to admit it. Wasn’t there supposed to be a—Well, something? Anything?
Then again, we were stopping time, and what else could you ask for?
“Do you want a drink, Toby?” Emma asked. She vaulted herself over the bar with a frankly shocking amount of grace for someone in a pantsuit.
“Uh, sure.”
“I’d ask what you were drinking, but we might have limited options.” She was considering her new vantage point from behind the counter.
I took the opportunity to grab the drink I’d left behind on the table. “I’ll use the one I had.” I tapped Todd’s hand for posterity, and nothing happened to him. “Any idea what this might—”
“No idea,” she answered without letting me finish, “but my job involves dealing with unknown powers, so…” She tried to use the soda-gun and swore when it didn’t work. “You learn to roll with it until people cooperate.”
“You still think I’m doing this?”
“I know it’s not me, and there aren’t many options here with us,” she said as she ducked behind the bar and came back up with a lemonade cooler, “but I came here for a date, and I plan to have one. Been a long week.”
I returned to the bar, finding a seat now that she was on the other side. “I just need to establish that this isn’t me. I’m not trying to—”
“If it isn’t you and it’s not me stopping time around us, then someone is giving us a very private venue for our first date.”
“Isn’t that nice?”
“It really is.” She took a sip of her drink, then pulled it away before she had time to swallow. “Shit. Do you have cash?”
“I’ll cover you.” She frowned at that; clearly she wasn’t satisfied with someone else paying for everything. “Plus, you’re serving me tonight. So…” That seemed to be enough plausible deniability to satisfy her. “Cheers?”
“Cheers.”
Throughout drink one, we were casting nervous glances around the paused bar; by drink five, we were laughing, just the two of us. Hours dripped by with the free beer… or they didn’t… It was hard to tell.
Emma added her sixth can to her pyramid and composed herself. “Okay, okay, okay. One second.” She took a deep breath. “This has been so much fun, but I told Todd I’d tell him when I got here so” — she needed another second to find her verbal footing — “can you stop this now?”
“Stop what?” I was halfway through a sip.
“This is the coolest power I’ve seen but—”
“It’s not me, I promise.” my insistence ended up sounding more like a drunk debate. The drunk part was accurate.
“So your power really is enhanced perception.”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Okay. You’re not lying.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Because that’s lame and—” She stopped herself. “Shit, sorry.”
“I am so used to it.”
“You wouldn’t say that drunk if you could stop time is my point.” She almost ducked down to grab another drink but thought better of it. “So, that makes us…”
We’d reached this impasse several times in the last hours. I scanned her. The lines on her face. The size of her irises. She was worried. Apprehensive.
So I said it first.
“We’re soul mates.”
She looked down and to the left, considering instead of answering.
“Why else would one of us display a power we’d never seen before? Unless you’re right and someone was stopping time for everyone but me and—”
“And the woman who’s immune to powers,” she cut in. “Maybe we are soul mates, but turn it off.”
“It’s not—”
“Toby, please.”
“I don’t—” I stopped short and instead tried even though I didn’t know how. My perception was passive. I didn’t get to choose whether I used it. Was there supposed to be a switch somewhere inside my head? Was I...
How long had it been at this point? Six, seven hours? We’d planned to meet pretty late and it would almost be light out by now. She was right. We had to get—
“I don’t know how,” I admitted, “if it’s me.”
Emma opened her mouth to say something, then reconsidered. Her perfectly manicured nails were digging into the vinyl of the bar top.
“Okay. It’s been lovely, but if you getting here started this then,” I said as I stood up, “maybe I just need to leave, and that will turn it off so we can figure out what’s going on.” I took the first steps toward the door.
“That’s a good plan.” She nodded along with what she was saying, like she was convincing herself, “I’ll reach out to you. It was an excellent date.”
“Let Todd know for me,” I added as I reached the door; a second later, I stepped into the chilled early-fall air. The door didn’t shut behind me, so I kept walking until I would have been out of eyesight.
Then I stopped.
Should I have turned around? What were the chances that she was my soul mate? What was I leaving behind if I didn’t see her again? It was a dumb thought, but the idea of walking away started gnawing at me.
But what choice did I have? In front of me, a couple was frozen in the middle of a quiet conversation on the way to the bar. Soul mates only affected one another when they were close by. I took a few more steps and started to sprint.
I was three blocks away when the world stuttered around me. My vision blurred, and the moonlight was shattered by the sun. I stumbled, almost crashing into a woman dressed like she was on her way to brunch.
Shit. I’d left my jacket at the bar, but—
I checked my watch; 8:06 AM.
Hope your enjoyed!

In case, it's not obvious and the wording might hint at something different, that's all my personal opinion based on my personal experience on the game.
Overall it's pretty good, i like most maps, modes, the gameplay feels fluent and gunplay feels satisfying. I just wanted to check it out and ended up with the things mentioned in the title. I try to focus on things I think the game is trying to do instead of what I personally would like:
Technical: Obviously, hit reg and lag are not what you would expect, with seeing those ping numbers in lobbies (normally between 15 - 30). I think this can be improved.
I don't know about that, but often I feel abilities are "blocked" after certain actions. I'm not sure if it's a design decision or if it's bugged, but it feels more like my controller is broken when I try to panic out a grenade after a slide. It breaks a bit the flow of the gameplay.
Loading times are a bit on the higher end. I feel there are a little too many and too long screens for what the rest offers on a XSX. Wouldn't mind them to be a bit better hidden.
Balancing:
Weapons feel fine, honestly. Sure, you got the meta kids and clickbait YouTubers that try to sell the best choice and therefore, you see quite often especially the same SMG, but the real difference between the majority of the guns in a class comes down to a TTK difference that's eaten by lag or doesn't make a difference for 99% of the playerbase. Sniping is a bit too easy (I shouldn't go positive if I only do challenges) and shottys suffer a bit more from the hit reg issues, but nothing that is really a mention worthy outlier and can be adjusted with time. What I really like is the ranges of the classes don't overlap as in CoD. Most of the time you lose with SMGs against AR at Mid+ Range and WIn in close range, as it should be.
Abilities need a bit work, though. My suggestion is to try to focus on creating counters where they are missing.
Echelon: The passive is quite strong, considering real silencers come in that late in weapons unlock. Put them a bit in earlier levels maybe? But the real issues is, when it's paired with the intel suit. This thing is a wall hack for the whole team, where the only counter needs a line of sight for the EMP grenade it. DeadSec Hacking is borderline useless rn, so make it a hard counter for Intel Suit by making it hackable if you get the notification on your screen. It will still have it's 30sec CD and should reduce the win-button character of the interl suite. Speaking of deadsec hacking, maybe enable mines and co as a target for it?
Phantom: I feel the passive is helping a bit too much for a turtling style without any effort to put in. A simple counter would be the Cleaners' passive and fire damage to do double or even more damage on them essentially neutralizing the health bonus.
Monetization driven gamedesign:
I get it, it's F2P and I really love that this game is way more subtle than the shop CoD has become. But there are two things, that are quite annoying for me:
Force end of match victory screen:
I would argue this does nothing in terms of sales. If you make a game that fast, you can't just force a full stop and expect the people to be happy about it and buying stuff they see. Besides that, people like to think they show off stuff they bought. If it was about real feedback, people wouldn't buy anything anymore, because no one is impressed by stuff you can buy in a shop, no matter how it looks. Just try it, let those of us who don't care skip to the next match and I bet people who want to show off will still buy the same amount of things, as long as they believe they show off.
Focus on groups:
Yeah, players are more likely to play and spent money in games their friends play. Win/Win, except with no SBMM in a game with a focus on teamplay you are already on a losing end as a solo player when matched against any sort of party. However, solo players carry the matchmaking and you need them for filling spots. So show some love and at least let me see who is grouped in the lobby and score screen. That's all, not that much honestly and if in doubt, I leave the match anyway.
Verdict:
I really like it this far and I want to see ranked in action, 6v6 is a mess most of the time without SBMM and as solo player. But it will be a tough winter for XD, as CoD will have probably a pretty strong entry this year. But I also don't think it has to surpass it, rather stay healthy enough to be a safe haven for people fed up with CoD. Might be even a good thing for the community if the usual cancer crowd flocks over to the next flashy thing. It has the disadvantage to be very similar to CoD, though. Titanfall could create it's niche, not so sure for XD once honeymoon is over. Gonna buy the cheapest founder pack and buy the BP from it to support it and look how this will evolve. Only fair for having played that much and had a lot of fun.

:Correction in title: Now regrets. We have been married for 8years and together for 13years, and we have two pre school kids together(2 and 5). Few weeks ago my husband me and my friends were drinking a bit on vacation (my friend came with us as I invited her to come we had big house rented and also other people were coming later). I was tired and kids woke up so I leave them alone, because well I had trust. Later on my husband wakes me up telling me he told my friends she is pretty and that he is very sorry - I am laughing as I am thinking my poor husband he is drunk,haha, but oh how he loves me, I tell him that it’s nothing, I give him a glass of water, and I agree as my friend is very beautiful. But next day I find out not that innocent- he was in her room, and was trying to touch her and well she refused and would have told me anyway. Not to spoil the vacation, I did not make a big scene of it though I told him it is not correct at all and we did not speak to him for some time. Since than he behaves very good, and act as if he regretted truly, bought flowers, tell me he loves me, that he is even more sure about it... But I am wounded and afraid - is this not like next time he will cheat on me with a someone who is not in risk od telling me? I mean I got into shape after deliveries, I cook, I work, intimacy is good, ok house is little bit messy, but… why he is doing this? Recently I have been gaining more money than him, is it like he needed maybe some ego boost? Or is he like bored? Would like open relationship be an solution? We were discussing open relationship option before this happened what is an interesting concept but as we don’t see it working anywhere around us (if it works for someone long term tell me how I am curious) and we did not agree on it -I find it dangerous for the family ... (not speaking about STI, potentional emotional harm to the third party, etc). Anyway - What to do - how can I trust him again? Becoming paranoia wife and like never let him alone with a woman drinking is really not something what I would want to do… thank you in advance for advices, please be kind.

"... and with that the adventure came to an end, but as the book shut on a story that consumed years of my life, I was left yearning for the next."
Hello! My name is Jason and I'm looking for a new campaign to Join! I've used this subreddit before in looking for adventurers to play in the campaign I run weekly so what better place to look for a new adventure to take part in. I'd love to find a new long term campaign to take part in. I want to challenge new worlds, make new friends and write new stories!
TITLE IS SUPPOSED TO BE:

[Online] [Mon-Tues] [Thurs-Sat] [EST] [5e] [18+] A Wandering Adventurer, Searching for a New Story.

I CANNOT PLAY WEDNESDAYS, I RUN WEDNESDAYS.
What I'm Looking For:

• A Lore Heavy In-Depth Setting.
• A Casual Table of Adults (18+).
• A Table that isn't afraid to approach more difficult topics.
• Something Roleplay Heavy, like 70/30 or 60/40 Roleplay to Combat.
• I'd like a table that is open to Homebrew (I've got a collection of Homebrew Character concepts I'd love to see hit the table.)
• I'm used to running on Roll20 with Discord for Voice, I'd like to do that for any future games.
• My ideal play time is Around Morning or Afternoon EST (My Schedule can get messy in the Evenings but I might be able to arrange that for the right game) on all days except Wednesdays and Sundays.

About Me:

• I've been playing D&D since 2017 (Which fun fact my first campaign just ended). I've played in several campaigns and one shots, tinkered with various systems and for the past couple years have been running my own campaign! As mentioned in my previous posts here.
• I'm in EST! But I'm perfectly content in joining games out of my time zone, in fact sometimes that works better for me since sometimes it ends up being earlier for me, which is sorta what I'm looking for.
• I play in a Bi-Weekly game on Sundays and run a weekly game called Event Horizon on Wednesdays! So I'd prefer games on any other day.
• I love LORE, PUZZLES and CHALLENGES I take notes and dive deep, I would like to think I'm a good player!
• As a fellow DM I'm more than willing to help new players or work with the DM on anything. I want a good game above anything, It's why we're here after all!
• I spend hours on developing my custom setting and I am willing to sit for hours and listen to you exposition dump about anything. PLEASE TELL ME YOUR LORE.
• I would like to play a "Party Mom/Dad", Someone kind hearted and honest who is able to take care of their fellow adventurers! Even if that role doesn't work I've got a list of character concepts far longer than I'd like to admit and I wanna cross some of them off!
• I have a deep passion for world building and character writing and want to put that passion somewhere outside of my own creations.

If all that sounds right for your world or group, Leave a comment or Send me a message! I'd love to hear from you.

Title

[REQ] loan desired $300 for speaker. paid back in 3 weeks or even sooner if I get the money before then.

Post contents

Ok so here is the story, I volunteered to dj my aunt's birthday party. Its her 50th birthday so my cousins are making this into a huge thing. since my aunt never had a quince (mexican version of a sweet sixteen) thats what they are gonna do for her. they asked me dj the party and of course i said yes. the thing is I have one speaker, a Mackie thump 15-A. I have gotten by with just one because i usually dj small apt parties, and so it doesnt take much to fill the room, but this venue is a lot bigger. I have been saving up for this, I have about 100 only, because I am taking summer classes and cant work as much as id like too. My employer, a guy that i do labor for, is going to pay me at the end of this week, i have $130 dollars worth of hours put in so far, plus about $50 of unpaid supplies that i fronted him. this weekend I'm prob gonna put in a good 120 worth of hours.i have to pay my phone bill which is 70 bucks so thats putting a dent in my cash right now. the speaker is 280, plus the stand which is like 30, so I just want to order the speaker and make sure it gets here before the party. I am also waiting on a $3k student loan check to arrive (it is sup to help me with summer school expenses as well as rent). I am hoping the check gets here this week, but I'm running out of time to order this thing and get it here in time. I will be willing to give interest on this too.
EDIT: the problem isn't having the money later to repay, its the timing on when the money gets here. I want to make sure I have the equipment before the party.
