Baldur's Gate is a video game.

I found out the hard way that Sculpt Spells (evocation wizard feature) doesn't work on cowering non-combatants...

He isn't.

I like Saru. I like the show's aesthetic. That's about where it ends. May as well do the dislikes as bullet points for readability.

• The tie-in of Michael being Spock's never-before-mentioned adopted sibling just feels like bad fanfiction.
• Most of the crew is so neglected that I didn't even know their names in Season 2. This came to a head when in one episode they were going to kill a bridge character and had to spend 20 minutes at the beginning of the episode highlighting her life so that when they did kill her, the audience would actually care.
• I dislike the constantly very high stakes. The series feels like an extremely long action film.
• Trill lore changes
• Season 1 Klingon design choices. Besides the hair thing, I also think a lot could have been done to flesh out the culture and highlight differences between the various houses' traditions besides basically assigning them colour differences.

I'm sure there was a lot more that bothered me, but it's been so long since I stopped caring enough to watch that I've probably forgotten.

Yeah, I saw that community yesterday and was super confused.

I'd say that removing Nazi-era misinformation is pretty important, actually.

Sure, maybe they're good at concentrating their attention. Concentrating it into a laser that you can't aim or turn on or off at will. It's just a randomly-firing laser of attention that is blasting everywhere you don't need it to. Great super power. /s

They deliver goods to big box stores, not to the kinds of stores one finds in a dense, walkable downtown core area. I have worked in the delivery industry, and we served the downtown core entirely with 5-ton and 3-ton trucks and cargo vans. It's simply not practical to get a full-sized trailer in there.

A lightning specialist, I assume?

I guess I just kill her too effectively!

The bit of text about Ethel offering an out surprises me: I've done that fight around eight times and she has never once offered me the option.
