Meh. Finally recovered from corona. It wasn’t like the first two times when it fucked me over for a day or two with fever followed by a quick recovery. I think I didn’t had a fever at all this time? Just out of breath after doing the most mundane shit for a week. That and the hot weather made it suck a lot.
Yesterday I finally started with Baldur’s Gate 3. Yeah, it’s great. Who would have thought?! My only criticism is that I couldn’t build my DnD Character. For some reason Kenkus are off limits, so no Kenku Ranger for me. Said fuck it and made a Half-Orc Ranger with specialisation on ranged attack. Minmaxing is lame anyway.
Covid seems to be everywhere here too. My niece and dad got it (we live together) and somehow I dodged it again. My best friend an hour away got it last weekend and a local friend and her hubby got it this week now. But it seems for all more like a nuisance... takes a few days to run it's course and then it's done.
I can even pinpoint from where I got it this time. My gf is a midwife and she (almost certainly) in turn got it from a woman giving birth. What pissed me off this time was that I never really felt that weak before. Even when I was laying flat I still had my strength. Don’t know how to describe it. I felt old when I liftet a 5 kilo bag of rice inside my kitchen. It was unnerving. Call yourself lucky to dodge this one.
Glad you're feeling better!
I've been meaning to get around to playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for a long time. What's your fave part about Baldur’s Gate 3?
As of now? It is extremely close to DnD. I mean it is DnD and the devs made sure it felt like playing the original. I like the fact that I barely have to look up anything when I level up. Because I still remember what skills are good or not from my time playing and DMing. Also the game looks great, sounds great and the companions are a delight (except that goody two shoes killjoy Wyll).
Oh and you have a lot of freedom. Freedom to fuck up and suffer the consequences. Which I enjoy very much!
