Whelp.
I have too many lovely-lovely swords and I don't know what to use!
A stylish regular katana that just dropped from Demi-human Queen? A pair of light greatswords that I (technically) gotten yesterday?!
That great katana I was running with since the initial incursion into The Shadow?
The Shadow kno-o-ows!
(Seriously, they let you fight with a greatsword in each hand? I suppose that isn't any more improbable than most stuff that happens in The Merry Land Of Fantasy, but still...)
<video of a guy showcasing one of the possible builds centered on those swords, linked for the images> — they are classified as "light greatswords" though they are far from being big-big swords.
Of course, in this game you can dual wield colossal weapons larger than you, taken from the dead-cold hands of huge enemies like trolls...
You're selling it short! You can literally dual wield a giant's dead finger and the tooth of a giant cosmic bull. While wearing only underwear and a giant pot on your head.
Edit: how apropos!

In Baldur's Gate 3 you can take off the underwear...

Difficult to follow that post, but... We're in Ghana.
With or without underwear?
With almost too much underwear.
Inconceivable!

In Baldur's Gate 3 EVERYONE takes off their underwear, all the time. For almost no reason at all.
Whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions.

I thought that said Pyre Math. I got excited for a second there.
Ah, special abilities, let's see- aaaaaaaaahhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My name is Grabthar, and I approve this monster.
Pyromath?

We went to see my wife's brother and his family to hang out, eat, and pass on gifts, which was a good do.
I also found a quarterstaff-sized stick, so could still train, and, best of all, we have been blessed with a truly Magnificent Lizard.

He said they had a magnificent lizard…
I had some great, colorful dreams today.
Shame, I can't really remember them anymore...
Rock on.

And still have. I remain free and undigested.

First-class, though the boy thinks it's 'too spicy'. Possibly he gets that from his birth father, as neither his Mum, his sister, nor the equally Caucasian L. Longears find it so.

He is truly British now.
One of my favorite hot sauces. Ingredients list there as well.
I like hot spicy, but that stuff looks too extreme for me.

Could be worse. Could be wow-wow sauce.

Kids: ...had the worst defense of all time.
Me: Not as bad as the Maginot Line!
(awkward pause)
Kid: ...huh?
Me: ...right. You haven't gotten to WWII yet.
Not a very good bowl anyway. Not a scrap of seasoning on the whole shebang.
What are you talking about? Judging from my kiddos' reactions, there was a ton of salt.
Yes but you can't work with just salt! Not unless you're making jerky. And we don't talk about the jerky.

Today we went to see my mother-in-law, who has an honest-to-goodness compound. It was an hours' drive in scorching heat, and an average stretch of road in Ghana tends to feature church > fruit stall > pub > church > mattress shop/branch of the ominously named Future Is Unknown electronics chain.
Current record for maximum number of people on one moped: three, getting told off by armed police. Current record for number of schoolkids on the back of a trailer welded to a motorbike: 15.
There were also several signs saying 'GLORY BE TO GOD', above a picture of a bottle of Maggi liquid seasoning. I approve.

Fort Ticonderoga fell quite swiftly in the Revolutionary War, if they are that far along. That place seemed to fall easily to whoever happened to attack it.

There was a sudden and extremely intense thunderstorm this afternoon, so, of course, we did what a hundred men or more would never do.

Like Trebek's mother! HAR!
Busy running around and aiding my father with getting renewed ID/passport, and now we are going to file for pension for his work in Poland in the previous century.
Filling paperwork for father's pension is done, though some additional documents will need to be added later to get better pension, but the gist of it is done.
I think the ghost scared everyone away.
Also been a couple weeks since NH disappeared. Someone at Global Megacorp may have black-bagged him.

Yesterday afternoon I had to drive out to Chillicothe. They were hearing a "chirping" noise and they thought it was coming from the server or UPS.
I get there, and the person who sits near the server gives me a list of all the times it went off. They are not on a regular interval.
I hear it, pretty sure it came from the server. Which is really odd. Really, really odd. Three little buzzy beeps. Not like a dryer buzz, but pitched almost like a bad electronic cricket.
I test the alarm on the UPS just to make sure. Definitely not that.
This stuff is under a desk, so I check all the drawers and boxes around, just in case it's some other device. Don't find anything.
I log into the server and start combing through the logs. Nothing looks wrong.
I note the times when I hear it beep. On the last one I noticed it went 4 times instead of 3. It hadn't done that before.
I let them know that I really don't know why it's "chirping" like this, but I'll do some more research and get back to them. About 3 hours spent driving and investigating. Also involved my boss because I was running out of ideas.
Today I spend 45 minutes on Google and go back through logs in case I missed something, and can only come up with some vague references that could be plausible, and let them know that to test the possibility I'd have to do a server reboot after hours and check some BIOS settings.
The boss from there emails me back.
They found that someone had hidden an electronic device to the underside of the desk that makes the noise.

S-stop it...

That would have been my first guess, if it helps.

That that sounds like an office joke, or are they the type of company where corporate espionage is a real concern?

It's an office joke within a municipal government. So, um, the people in charge are pissed off about it.
