Let me know which works best for you. I tried pixelated.social and also saw some slowness issues.

Eh. I tried this with TikTok. Didn’t work.

Can confirm. I used to sit on my dad’s lap watching him play Serious Sam and Diablo 2.

Mistborn might be a little YA for you, but the main character is a girl who grows to become a badass woman.

Minor Mistborn Spoilers

No steamy scenes but doesn’t shy away from killing off characters and there is a happy ending

She’s not so much helpless, but she does need to mentored in the first book of the trilogy.

The logic is sound, because I (and assumingly others) found it interesting, but please try to read an article before sharing it.

It’s literally the first sentence in the article.

You posted the article but didn’t read it?

I know some folks swear that Rithamist is Sanderson’s best work and I am hesitant to try it.

I’ve tried Yumi a couple times, but haven’t been able to get into. I am excited to read Tress, however.

Phishing Click Rates Triple in 2024 in c/[email protected]
[–] TheMinions 4 points 1 week ago

I think that the telltale signs of phishing are also decreasing.

Bad actors have consistently had better grammar and less spelling mistakes in 2024 thanks to AI tools.

I’ve seen so many people falling for the docusign phishing emails.

Reading a couple things at the moment.

Wrapped up Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson a few weeks back. Before that I had been rereading Stormlight in it’s entirety now that I have nearly caught up with the Cosmere (outside of White Sand and the secret projects besides Sunlit).

I didn’t finish that reread and am smack in the middle of Oathbringer, which might be my favorite of the Stormlight novels.

Additionally just 10 minutes ago I finished Demon Copperhead, which was really quite fantastic in my eyes. I have family from Appalachia - my parents left the area in the late 90’s after moving to a city in the late 80’s. So it brought back a lot of memories of grandparent visits and trailer parks and gorgeous nature. And also all the burned out wrecked homes you can see if you ever drive around.

Got my first Gold! in c/[email protected]

I’ll (eventually) trade for a Gold Pikachu if you have one! Pikachu is my favorite. Haha

Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I’ve noticed my hair thinning and hairline receding since I was about 25 or so.

I’ve been using Collagen and Biotin “thickening” shampoo but never noticed any difference. My dad swears by some pills he started taking.

What’s Lemmy think? Is he just paying for pills that are placebo effect?

Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

Might be a local thing, but in the US I feel like all the similar radio stations go on commercial break all at the same time. Is this just an iheartradio monopoly thing or is it some odd coincidence due to standard ad deals?

[Guide] How to get the Bhaalist Armor on a good playthrough (self.baldurs_gate_3)

Spoilers for Act 3, by the way.

  1. Get to Act 3 and start the Murder Tribunal Quest.
  2. Separate your party to have the main thief be separated and invisible.
  3. you want this character’s sleight of hand to be buffed to the max, Smuggler’s Ring, Gloves of Power, Graceful Cloth/Enhance Ability (Dex), Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, Proficiency, Expertise, Shapeshifter’s Boon Ring, etc.
  4. Speak to the Bhaal Cultists and seek judgement from the Tribunal.
  5. Once the spirit is summoned (such as Dribbles the clown) you can move your invisible thief up to them and pickpocket them.

It is a DC 29 check, so going Rogue 10 for Reliable Talent and having +8 proficiency is only going to get you to 18. Smuggler’s Ring(+2), Guidance, Bardic Inspiration, Gloves of Absolute Power and Shapeshifter’s boon Ring give you a minimum of +1. Minimum total increase of +6, so we’re at 24 minimum now.

Graceful cloth gives another +1 Dex modifier, and you can max you Dex with ASI, giving you another +5.

In theory you don’t need all these items, as Reliable Talent gets you a minimum 30 with all these items.

Be warned, as after the thieving is done, combat will start.

New Player - what classes do you like to make everyone? [no spoilers] (self.baldurs_gate_3)

What classes do you like to build for everyone?

I’m running my Tav as a Bard/Paladin/Wiz to mimic my favorite character I played from 5e a few years back.

Astarion is a Gloomstalker, Shadowheart is a Light Cleric, Gale is a Fighter 1/Wizard X, Wyll is a Draconic Fiend Sorlock, Laezel is a Red Draconic Sorcadin. I haven’t really used Minthara or Halsik much, but imagine they would stay single classed as Oathbreaker and Moon Druid.

Final Trailer for Indigo Disk! (youtu.be)
 

I haven’t grabbed the DLC yet but I am considering it. If you’ve purchased Teal Mask, do you think it’s worth it? I was waiting for reviews to come in for Disk before I bought it.

I live in the US, and can only seem to find a variety of soda syrups that ship to Canada here.

This was my best lead but am looking for sometime similar that ships to the US.
