LMAO, no. vannak wouldn't sacrifice gortash for the world & taviren wouldn't sacrifice the emperor for the world. neither of them would sacrifice themselves either. however, they would both sacrifice the world for their person without hesitation.

Wanted to try my hand at asking a #TavQotD, so:

Would your Tav/Durge sacrifice their love interest (or the person they care about most) if doing so was necessary to save the world?

A quote from the movie "The Mummy": "When one is dealing with the salvation of humanity, certain sacrifices must be made."

VICTORY! Cat declawing is officially illegal in California! 🐾🥳

Thank you to all who took action with us and urged your legislators to pass this lifesaving declaw ban bill. Governor Newsom just signed it into law tonight!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Sketchy illustration featuring Garrett Hawke from Dragon Age 2 and... Fenris. As a cat. From the same game. Fenfen is liquid in Hawke's caprisone holder and stretching his front paw as far as he can while snuggling against Hawke's beard and cheek

Hawke's... amused.

oh cool, i never saw that. (i missed so many journals & notes.) it's official enough if it's in the game!

griffin @griffonfarm.bsky.social · 6d

there's no official lore on if dragonborn shed scales but loads of people choose that for theirs, so it's a popular thing! definitely do whatever works for him that you have the most fun with!

griffin @griffonfarm.bsky.social · 6d

dragonborn scales can come off just like dragon scales. injury, pulling/prying them off, etc. iirc the alchemist from the recipes for potions was a dragonborn who had removed all his scales. so whoever is giving the scar (kressa?) can just remove the scales to make the incisions.

he doesn't go out of his way to eat people, but he has no problem doing it. meat's meat.

vannak (default durge) is fine it. he ate his foster parents after he killed them (they were dwarves), he eats the meat at the goblin camp, & in the future he amputates (for regeneration purposes to correct an old injury) & eats his spouse's leg.

What’s your oc’s relationship with cannibalism? Have they ever participated in it? Are they disgusted by it? Would they ever resort to it in a desperate situation?

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

i also need to progress this tav run further so i can get some more screenshots of him. too bad i can't do a manshoon & make multiple copies of myself to do all this stuff. not enough time in the day.

I'm not loving playing a bard. sorcerer so far is my favorite, but i did enjoy the cleric of bane run. if i ever manage to get sick of seeing his face (LMAO) I really want to do some origin runs too. I just.... gortash > everybody else. sigh.

griffin @griffonfarm.bsky.social · 8d

it's been about a month & a half since I played bg3. so i think this weekend I'm going to invest some time in it again. bard gortash is still at the beginning of act 2 & I have some new armor mods to play dress up with him. I need to finish this run so I can try a run with him as a paladin.
