the most relatable part of baldurs gate 3 to the dm experience is coming up with a character name you think sounds badass and intriguing and then realizing far too late that her name can be shortened to shart
@AuthorGFAllen It helps but it's essentially the research portion of the two essentials "research and practice".
One must consume to create but you won't get better at creation through consumption alone.
@JoeySourlisVo 100%.
Variety is king but emotional context variety > voice variety every time.
One voice with large emotional range > large vocal range with limited emotional context.
Every. Time.
@AuthorGFAllen Yes*
I grew up not very social and not for lack of trying so it's what I'm used to and is mostly fine.
I need the occasional social interaction to not completely revert back to my cryptid heritage and become spontaneously blurry though.
@JackEllisVO@melissamedinavo I did some quick math in my other comments to show their effective hourly rate. It's eye opening in a way that makes me very frustrated.
@melissamedinavo If you go by how payroll calculates a salaried workers effective hourly, they'd be at $96.80 per hour, but since it's only 140 days, assuming 8 hours per day, it's much higher.
Politicians are seriously working part time at $178.57/hour and still posting stuff like that...
@melissamedinavo The poster you quoted is so out of touch. Only 200k for 140 days of work. 5 days a week x 52 weeks is 260.
Pull out two weeks vacation if you get PTO that's two 250. Pull out roughly 8 bank holidays, that's 242.
Even being generous they make bank for 100 less days a year. 🤦♂️
okay well first of all it’s not “blood magic” it’s “sanguinomancy” and second of all you literally cannot prove that his blood didnt just decide to vacate his body all on its own. actually yes it does happen to a lot of people are i would know i literally do blood magic. no wait
@melissamedinavo I tried and failed to break into VO right out of high school. I try not to think about where I'd be in my career now if I had stuck with and be closer to 20 years deep than 3, because I get sad when I dwell on that thought too long.
