An unbelievable thing happened last night. 3,083 people from the @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social community stepped up to protect the people in Minneapolis from ICE.

You can still donate to VEAP here - bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis

Oh my god, theyโ€™re already not allowed to deport US citizens.

This is not bargaining. This is acquiescence in the face of authoritarianism.

Please share what's happening. Please stand up for your fellow Americans. Please stop believing their lies and start believing your own eyes. Enough is enough.

GET ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA

To paraphrase @charalanahzard.bsky.social : the more you know about a topic, the more AI tends to get it wrong, so you should only ask it about things you know nothing about

Exactly. Sister Splinter and Trobbio were easy to me, but Last Judge kicked my teeth in for awhile. High Halls gauntlet was one try for me, didn't realize it was a "boss" until hearing folks' struggle a couple days later. Meanwhile I took like 20+ tries on an Act 3 boss that friends cake walked ๐Ÿ˜‚

Imo it might just be a fight suited to what you are skilled/practiced at. I cruised through the high halls gauntlet but struggled on other fights people found really easy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Everyone's experience with that game is different and that's cool.

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldurโ€™s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.
