Again. Not saying there aren't people. Just that the number of people, here, is a very, very low number. Anyone in that group is going to be a boomer (or older), or lucked into having incredibly based parents. Or maybe they're just hardcore autists obsessed with history. In any case, not common. The people here, in a GG forum, are going to be mostly people who became aware around the time of GG.
GG itself is barely even 10 years old at this point, and that was the awakening moment for many here. So to have 20 years of foresight when the event was a decade ago is just impossible. Maybe some people were 'aware' in the early 2000's but that number of people would be very, very small.
It's kind of disgusting how the human body just gives up on properly distributing fat if you get enough of it.
I wonder how many calories it takes to maintain such a weight. Surely just existing in that state burns an enormous amount of calories.
I don't think I ever remember seeing him on r/KiA2. Though there was a long time it was locked down and I was locked out of it, being the serial lurker that I am. But there was also a lot more people there than here, so it's not as easy to notice one or two people.
I think the thing that bugs me in regards to Imp is that while he's banned I see people saying things he would, except they don't get serial downvoted or banned for them. He's got his own little hate-club. And maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I don't recall anyone else being so polarizing. Here, anyway. I'm very out of the loop on whatever goes on at reddit.
I think his presence makes things better simply because he posts things I wouldn't otherwise see or know about. Hell, that's the reason I've been lurking in KiA2 since the great split; there's all sorts of differing opinions and topics that we can all be mostly civil about. This community is great, and that includes the retards.
Is that really his fault though? I feel like the site is just bad at searching. Reddit has the same problem. I can't find shit in the other communities. Heck, sometimes I can't even find things that I literally saw the day before.
I've been lurking here for a long time. Probably about as long as you, given our similar account ages.At this point I can almost feel the change when he's banned; the site just feels lesser. Then I go and check and yep, he's banned. Usually for several days at that point.
At no point in my years lurking here have I felt like he's making the place worse. Quite the opposite, despite disagreeing with much of what he says. r14 already keeps him in check well enough, and anyone who can't stand his measly 5 posts per day can just block him.
I don't really care so much what he says. He makes this place more lively, and if he goes off the rails enough I can just ignore him and not read his comments / posts. My experience on this site is never lesser from his presence, even if he's going off-topic. It is however lesser whenever he's banned.
It's not like he's posting 27 different things and replying to every comment. This place isn't so active that his presence (or lack thereof) goes unnoticed. It takes very little scrolling to get to yesterday's (or even last week's) discussions.
doesn't this conflict a bit with 'a woman's right to choose?'
I imagine they operate under a similar thought process as the ford quote:
Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.
In this case, a woman can choose any option she wants as long as it's an abortion.
You should. I went and saw it (in a "deep blue" area) and the theater was fucking packed. Just getting tickets was a massive pain, often sold out days in advance. I don't think they turned off the AC, but it definitely could not handle the amount of people in that room.
I would not be surprised at all if that 85 million was the media doing their best to low-ball and downplay how successful it is.
Of course it's not canon to the games. It's just canon for the general setting, so other games can have an outcome of it. Pretty much every FR game or tabletop setting is minimally important. And even this minimally important protagonist has a Schrodinger's cat death. Did he die to the other Bhaalspawn, or did he die to an adventurer party after going ravager on everyone? It's all stupid either way.
But yeah, I agree. That's why I said unless you can import a character, BG3 has no connection to BG1-2, and why I predict that one of these events will be referenced in the game as some kind of "See? They're connected!!" moment, as if it's not some kind of cheap cop-out.
Anyway, Bhaal isn't completely back to how he was; he reclaimed his pantheon, but came back mortal. Maybe we'll kill him (again) in BG3, since there's currently no events after that. That would be the perfect terrible woke writer ending to the entire saga; everyone involved died and nothing mattered.
They should have called it Baldur's Gate: <title>, like they did with Dark Alliance. That would have at least been acceptable.
Unless you can literally import a BG2 character this game has nothing to do with BG1-2. There's a canon Bhaalspawn protag with a canon ending that literally any FR game can reference. He also happens to die 100 years later, i.e. when this game is set, in Baldur's Gate, in a fight with the other only living Bhaalspawn (the one that teleports randomly, I don't remember his name), which causes Bhaal to finally resurrect. I'll be absolutely shocked if their "tie-in" that makes it "worth" being called BG3 isn't that event, which isn't even a tie-in at all.
Forget free; I'm not sure how much I'd have to be paid to touch it.
