Rent a fighter or warrior pawn since people tend to make them huge and they can carry a lot. Put your camping kit on them. Forget about it for a few hours. Or do what I did, make your own huge warrior pawn instead of scantily-clad sorceror chick #30000, put the kit on him at the start of the game, and literally never think about it again. I spent significantly more time managing the mountains of monster materials I gathered and never really thought about the kit unless I found a better one.

I agree about your point regarding minor inconveniences, but I do not feel it applies in DD2s case. They’re either incredibly minor (art of metamorphosis costs 500RC, or just beat the game), or non-existent. The decision to bring a camping kit was a conscious one and I could have just left it in storage, but I felt the benefits outweighed the costs. I never considered buying a single one of the MTX. Like you said, you get around 4 port crystals per playthrough. Drop one in Bakbattahl, one by the dragonforged, one by the Sphinx shrine, and the 4th wherever. Vernworth, Harve, and two other spots late in the game (very late) get permanent ports, one of which actually replaced one of the others I had placed. If you’re considering buying RC, 1)why 2) just make your pawn a thot, those always get rented.

Old buddy is lying because reasons. There’s better camping kits available in game that weigh less than the paid one and let you get buffs.

It’s a trend. It’s quite literally clearly worthless garbage tacked on as MTX to satisfy some worthless suit, but as long as you don’t just buy a bunch of MTX before even playing a given game, you’d notice none of that shit needs to be bought.

The non-dlc elite camping kit, which is easy to get, weighs less than the DLC kit and lets you cook food for buffs, unlike the paid one. Also, you have 4 characters. Spread the weight around efficiently.

The game made gameplay affecting design decisions around these micro transactions.

Name one, because I beat the whole ass game without even feeling the need to buy any of that easily acquirable in-game for no money stuff. Most of the stuff is for sale at the pawn guild, including the character redesigner. I got enough port crystals to basically cover everywhere I’d want to go regularly. I spent probably 500 RC over a playthrough that got over 10k.

I regret having a kid. He’s going to live a long time, maybe, in this world we’re destroying. Or die what would be considered too soon. He’s too soft and kind for the shit that looks like it’s coming.

I like my Oakleys, but they’re regular prescription glasses. Pretty durable and in the (bland) style I prefer.

10/24, brutal.

The article is playing fast and loose as well.

The US Navy has dispatched a guided-missile submarine to the Middle East.

The posting was revealed by the military in an announcement late on Sunday. The unusual revelation regarding the location of the ship, which can launch nuclear missiles

SSGNs are incapable of launching the missiles the article is thinking of. I suppose one could outfit the boat with the nuclear TLAM-D, but i doubt the Navy would bother.

And there’s no chance in hell an SSBN, the actual sub with SLBMs on it, is going to surface anywhere and pop open a missile hatch (the missiles are launched submerged).

Article is bunk, a GN showed up somewhere and is ready to put tomahawks through windows, business as usual for one of those boats. Show of force? Yes? Show of nuclear warhead force? No.

Sauce - Submariner.

Also sub fun fact, the 4 SSGNs in the US Navy are the Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia. They have a building in Bangor for them, lovingly called the OMFG building.

Just kidding, I’ve known for years.

Some were arrested by South Korean police, so they will likely face trials by South Korean courts. If we break laws in foreign countries, we’re still subject to punishment under them. Service members can and frequently are also held to account under the UCMJ and will likely have court martial as well. Have seen plenty of people get arrested for myriad crimes, and then get slapped with an NJP/court martial on top of it.

Guess I’m a robot. Imagine getting past this and it didn’t have MacReady and Childs, and then the second Captcha comes up and it’s just two pictures of those two.

That ain’t Falco.

Weird, I JUST watched that movie.

Wow, that khezu plush is great!

That’s the tag line for the article, not OPs thoughts.

Yep, biblically accurate.

Yall know rigger is a real word right? Like, I work with a group of people explicitly called riggers. They rig stuff up. Use cranes, chain falls, shit like that?

Trump is using a dogwhistle though.
