I think we should rename it Jew Slaughter Ultra Hitler Holocaust. Quit being such a sensitive bitch.

Too much Russian vodka yesterday, temnix? Or maybe too much baklava?

@Jarno Mikkola Are you talking about pictures like this one? First, that wasn't the camera obscura. Second, it's two pictures of real objects overlaid using double exposure, so my point stands.

@Jarno Mikkola He means an image of something that doesn't exist in real life. A camera obscura just projects light from an object into a dark room, it doesn't generate fantasy images of things that don't exist. Before CGI, film also relied on props and drawings to create an illusion of something unreal. His point stands: Before digital tech, to create an image of something truly unreal you would have to draw it.

The story of the last man, not quite as predicted by Nietzsche. He sits alone, musing over myth and philosophy from his rich heritage, gifts from the giants of the past. Surrounded by sophisticated technology, he is preoccupied watching an insect struggle across the floor. No battles to fight, no forests to tame, just a man idly watching as the tiny fragment of nature invading his insular home slowly dies, killed by an automated process. His powerful mind is under stimulated. He looks forward to the quiet amusement of tinkering with his video game, a sedentary hobby after working a sedentary job. The last man has no need for sons - in his old age he'll be cared for by social programs constructed by previous generations. Surrounded by people, yet without any real sense of community, he's atomized, a product of his time.

They almost look human! Silly chimps.

I'd like to commemorate this thread with a some adorable pics of chimps in suits.

In vanilla BG and BG EE, there's a small easter egg I'm sure you all know about. If you right click a companion more than 9 times, you'll hear 3 'rare' responses per character. For some reason, with EET installed, the rare responses never come up, just an endless cycle of their regular responses.

It's not exactly a game ruining bug, but still unfortunate and worth mentioning. I wonder what causes it, and whether it can be fixed?

I really hope we're talking about actual autism here and not making memes out of a legit medical issue.

@subtledoctor

This conversation gave both of us unrecoverable ability score damage, -1 int

@subtledoctor That's closer to what I meant. A spiritual autism, an autism of the soul. I have no doubt most of g3 can say the same.

+1 int for subtledoctor, now at 7 points

There actually was one. The dot topic in SCS was actually legit as a duplicate of https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/v5tr9v/even_better_calls_for_help/ , but by the time he opened it here, I already answered that on Reddit. TBH, if you skim his Reddit comment history, there's a high chance you figure out his problem.

What problem? Autism? That should be obvious.

Edited to clarify: we don't moderate posts based on content at G3; we leave it up to our members to form their own opinions about other users so having a clear post history (as best we can make it) furthers that goal. Many users, when they make an especially egregious and dumb remark, will realize their error and edit it to something more reasonable and/or less embarrassing. While in this case it would require a level of self-reflection that's yet to be evidenced, I felt compelled to preserve this particular bit just in case.

I'm glad you included this, CamDawg. I almost started clutching my pearls, wringing my hands, and so on.

my final mod

You can't leave, temnix. So far, you're one of the only people I actually like. Dweebs like @The Artisan really seem to hate you, which confirms you're on the right side of history.

You probably found the answer by now, but just in case you haven't, the answer is yes.

This would be a good mod. It would definitely add verisimilitude to the game. 

Once the fair is over, what happens? Does the area become inaccessible? Or does it get replaced by a 'new' area without the tents?

Write in whatever manner you like. If an internet forum conversation stops being fun, there's no reason to continue it.

It sounds like you stopped having fun.
