Hey, NH, which brand of bathroom fixture did you say was crap? Was it Delta?
Since I can't gut the downstairs bathroom at Mom's, strip it down to the studs and rebuild it (since we need to replace windows and repair the tilting garage first), I said I'd settle for just replacing the toilet and the shower head. (The toilet is one of those super low ones for little tiny kids or midgets, and the shower head is like a bad motel shower head from the 60s.)

I wonder if that's because I link a lot of hip hop on here.
I almost never click links, especially musical ones, so I don't think so.
Probably all the cars driving down our street with their woofers on full blast so I'm forced to listen to whatever they're listening to, which is typically rap.
EDIT: I think it's why I have a very solid work-from-home record. I set my hours (6:30 am - 4:00 pm), and during that period I am "at work" and don't watch videos or otherwise "goof off", though I do assiduously follow my company's ergonomics protocols (5 minutes off every half hour to stretch, tidy the house, or check Paizo). But 5 minutes isn't enough to watch most videos that get posted, so I tend not to click anything YouTube.

Yes. Delta is appalling. All the parts are plastic because it's designed to be low-end plasticware for slumlords.
We ended up going with Grohe, which is apparently middle-to-high end but at least anything you get from them will be good quality.

Thank you. I've been looking at the True Value and Ace websites because Home Depot is a lousy place to shop in the South if you're female, and every time I've gone into Lowe's, I've managed to find the salesmen who steered me in exactly the opposite direction. But most of what True Value has is Delta or Waterpik.

One of my favorite stories: We went to buy a car and we were willing to pay MSRP, so a nice hefty commission for the salesman.
Except...
...he kept talking to me instead of GothBard. After multiple repeated attempts to say, "She's the one picking the car, not me," and having him continue to speak exclusively to me, we walked off the lot.
I doubt he ever figured out what he'd done wrong, in spite of the fact that we told him multiple times that I wasn't the one buying the car.

Control finished. 21.6 hours, though it took some repetition of some fights where I kept dying, doing most if not all side missions, and some discoverying. There are some more hidden spots left but I don't know if I will be seeking all of them. Most of them are hidden well enough that without guides looking for them might takes hours and hours anyway.
Excellent game.

Which is better than Impus Major, who got "furry hentai". (So far he's refusing to do it because he's worried about just what KIND of advertising he'll get, but we'll bring him around...)

And now I have finished Dishonored. I had been sitting at the start of the final mission for some time now, and now got back to finishing it. It was much shorter than most earlier missions.
It's a decent game, though it could have been better. Might opinion might be skewed by the fact that I have played recently a few games that dealt with similar ideas (primarily Deus Ex - choice between lethal and nonlethal solutions and multiple ways to go through each scene, moral decisions, and Assassin's Creed, with all that sneaking and killing) and most of the time did them better and had better looking graphics.

As written, I feel they put too many restrictions on it. Like, if I'm remembering right, it only works if you've moved at least 10'. With PF1 really favoring the full attack action, this is a lot worse than the regular sneak attack.
EDIT: They probably would have been better off making skirmish attack be an add-on modifier to sneak attack. You get sneak attack (all normal rules apply) at the normal rate of whatever class you're using, but if you happen to move at least 10' then sneak attack applies as well.

Good point, that. But there are ways to get pounce piled on top of that . . . .
But then you wind up with a situation not too unlike one of NH's recent campaign journal posts: sneak attack dice on Cleave attacks = not-dead mooks.
Too bad it just isn't strong enough -- even with Vital Strike and the Bounding Assault/Rapid Blitz feats.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yep. Skirmish damage was a class feature of the scout class from the 3.5 splatbook Complete Adventurer.
I think the biggest reason I liked the mechanic so much was my propensity for receiving an inordinate amount of critical hits on my characters. I thought that if I could hit them and move away (Spring Attack, Bounding Assault, Rapid Blitz), maybe they'd survive a bit more easily. And then I started multiclassing to get pounce, and . . . .
The original skirmish damage progression started by adding 1d6 damage to any attack a character made after moving 10' in the same round. Then, at 3rd, a +1 bonus to AC was stacked on it. And so it proceeded on odd levels to cap out at +5d6/+5. And you could take the Improved Skirmish feat to add, IIRC, +2d6/+1.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
It was a great concept - something that rewarded mobility-based characters - I just don't think it was executed all that well. What Syrus is talking about ends up being a LOT of feats and multiclassing just to be able to be on similar footing with Sneak Attack.

If all goes perfectly, we will be back in Ohio by June.
Which really can't come too soon, because we've more reasons to hate this neighborhood as of today that I really am too pissed to go into right now, but it involves my daughter, and therefore it crosses the line.
So, yeah, hopefully all goes perfectly.
Both our families are pissed. Well, not so much pissed on my side. Her family are a bunch of ingrate bastards who talk shit about everyone who doesn't conform to their personal sense of normalcy, so I could give a damn what they think. But they're still b!%&~ing at Tala nonetheless. Even though they are like 97% responsible for the bullcrap that lead us to our situation as it is.
My family is just...well they went through so much to bail us out after Tala's family screwed us over, and now they're like "and you plan on leaving after that?"
But we wouldn't have come down here in the first place without that lie. This was never home. And we really want to go home. This place does not contribute to our happiness, but in fact, greatly marginalizes it.
But again, leaving requires just about everything to go right. We're looking for work up there already to make sure we're set when we arrive, and our friends in the area along with Tala's dad (whom I get along with) and brother (whom I don't, but at least he has been trying lately, so I give him credit) who still live up there are helping find something.
So far, everything's been going great.
But you know when your future is dependent on a house of cards, it's a scary thing to look towards.

PF1E is, in my opinion, what 3.x wanted to be. I think Paizo's version is "strictly better" than WotC's, but I'm very glad Wizards did what it did (2nd Edition was ghastly, in my opinion).
