Did you read/watch the prequel? Yes, public perception is absolutely a theme of the series.

How do you think it works for PC games?

The zeitgeist with DND druids has always bored me. I play them exclusively evil, as I am finding out just as I think about it now.

There is a middle finger of vecna druid archetype that allows for unique shapeshifts into an abomination. It's a lot of fun to play and the shapeshift options are very versatile and adjustable each shift. I role played a LE human who sook out expediting the heat death of the universe for the Eldritch pantheon. I joined the party as they were already doing a good job leading to the destruction of society. It was all for the purity of nature, of course.

Another I played was a spore druid who was basically Shaggy from Scooby Doo, but evil. The archetype I used was absolutely awful but it came with lots of good stories as I got incredibly high irl to play the character. I conspired with the DM against the party for the glory of Strahd for an entire year of play, and then abandoned the vampire lord when the party started winning the final fight. Convincing the party irl (who was none the wiser but absolutely hated my character) that Strahd was just trying to get in their heads to split the party will probably be my favorite memory of DND for all time.

Why wouldn't this be fine? You met at 23. It's not like you were groomed from childhood. Strangers on the Internet cannot validate your relationship with this man. Only you know the details that can inform the decision you have made to befriend him.

Please consider how much credence you give to the opinions of others, especially considering that you feel as though your friendship shouldn't exist at times for absolute nonsense reasons.

Wait a minute. Did I just convince you it's all fine? Don't listen to me. I know nothing. Stop listening to strangers about things they don't understand and think for yourself. You got this.

Watching Bodies as of last night and it seems great. It doesn't seem to be chugging along, in fact I'm quite excited to get back into it. Perhaps it's not well suited for a slow watch and is better binged. It is on Netflix after all. Gives me real Dark vibes, and for obvious reason once you get into it.

I believe it. When a new video comes out, many YouTubers change the name a few times and keep the one that gets the most clicks. Same with the picture.

I'm not disagreeing. It just doesn't add to the point in my opinion. We are talking about now, and local governments (in my anecdotal experience) are in no way as old as recent national politicians.

The wish for one party to select somebody under 80 years old is not moot just because the other party is likely going to select an 80+ year old. Especially if there is a sizable voter block who are more easily swayed to vote for someone under 50.

How does local voting make it more likely to get younger presidents? I'm not sure I understand that point.

Not relevant here, because states decide how their ballots are run. It's similar to how some states can prevent felons from voting for life.

I always understood it otherwise, that progressive was more to the left, outside that neoliberal democrat stance. But these things change over time and I may have always just misunderstood.
