Same here man. We were up to about $70 per month for streaming services, which was right back to cable TV type of shit. When Netflix pulled the password stunt that pushed us over the edge and we’ve been real-debrid ever since.
The problem with these things is that it usually works out being a net positive for the company. Like when Netflix stopped allowing households to share passwords. I cancelled, and hoped that drives of other people would cancel too. But Netflix did their research just like any other company would, and they ended up getting more subscribers and more money because of it. The era of good deals is over. The era of squeezing customers for everything they’re worth is here. There is no more competition, and thus no reason for them to offer good deals.
The shotgun is the most versatile gun someone can buy. By changing the shells used in the gun, you can completely change its usage. You can even get interchangeable barrels for different uses, and most shotguns have interchangeable chokes to change the distance and pattern. Shotguns are awesome.
I’m about to move into act 2 on an evil playthrough, and I let her live, so I’m eager to recruit her for the first time. I killed her in my first two playthroughs.
Me too usually. I’m still being a softy sometimes, but in most scenarios I’m forcing myself to make different decisions because I want to experience how it changes the game. I’m looking forward to recruiting Minthara soon.
They do a great job of making things feel real and meaningful too. My last playthrough was supposed to be an evil playthrough, but all of the characters are so real that I couldn’t do it. I actually killed Karlach and felt so bad about it that I reloaded and recruited her instead. This playthrough though, which is my 3rd one, I’m forcing myself to make different choices and I’m amazed at how much it changes the game. Like I betrayed the grove and Karlach somehow heard about it before I found her, so she was pissed and fought me instead of trying to join me. I also did the mushroom quests and then fireballed the group when they were all celebrating, just to see if it would let me, and it totally does. I love the freedom that they give you in this game.
I mean, typically killing a character means they can’t join your party. How were you expecting to recruit her if you killed her? I’m actually doing my first fully evil durge playthrough right now and I’m looking forward to act two when I can recruit her.
