I've been thinking about streaming creating a game. Would anyone find it interesting watching a software engineer stumbling through relearning how to write code from scratch?

I'm hopeful that this will actually go some where, it would be a wonderful move forward to ending actual terror. But the realist in me also recognizes that this likely won't have any footing to stand on.

This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

I am a cis, white, straight woman who was born and raised on a remote dairy farm, raised around no diversity at all. Virtually everything I know about people unlike that narrow group came from meeting people at cons first. Embarrassing but true.

Necromancer Day 42: Hallowed Earth An unholy creature takes 2 spirit damage if it ends its turn within 10 ft of you. If they are undead they also take 2 vitality damage. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

This is the equivalent of Corrupted Ground for the unholy necromancer. It requires The Hallowed Dead feat. Tomorrow I dig into Reclaim Power

Necromancer Day 41: Corrupted Ground Any holy creature that ends its turn within 10 ft of you takes 2 spirit damage. If it's also living it takes 2 void damage as well. You must have The Unholy Undead feat to take this feat. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

The theme is a great one. Imagine walking around a battlefield and you exude an corrupting aura. Anything around withers and decays. I'm posting this from inside a cramped metal tube propelling through the atmosphere. Tommorrow I look at Hallowed Earth.

Necromancer Day 40: Conjurer of Corpses Learn the summon undead spell. These undead are considered thralls. Gain an additional spell slot each day at your highest level, and can only prepare summon undead in this slot. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

This is a feat that can only be taken by a puppeteer. It's one of the clear backbones of the traditional necromancer. One who summons loads of undead to do their bidding. <insert evil cackle here> Plus giving you an extra spell slot so it can always be prepared? that's great for any spellcaster.

Necromancer Day 39: Collateral Reinforcement For one round your thralls become immune to area and splash damage. This seems like a very situational feat. If you have you thralls clumped up and dealing with aoe or splash it's very handy. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

But otherwise doesn't feel worth an action to save a small amount of thralls with how easy it is to bring them back. Tomorrow I look at Conjurer of Corpses!

Necromancer Day 38: Bone Burst When a creature next to a thrall uses a manipulate or move action, or makes a ranged attack, destroy the thrall and deal 2d10 damage against a reflex save. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

This is so much fun. The necromancer can do a reactive strike essentially. Explode your thrall in an explosion of bone shards. It's helpful that this can be used by either the reaper or the puppeteer. Join me tomorrow as I review Collateral Reinforcement.

These monsters want you thinking I'm the reason you can't afford groceries, instead of how they gutted the social safety net and how they spend millions to keep you from having a living wage. Remember the poem, they don't stop with us, so stand up now.

Transphobia has always been manufactured to keep us desperate, easier to abuse, and to use us as scapegoats for things we have never had any control over.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Necromancer Day 37: Bloody Tendrils Learn the Bloody Tendrils grave spell. Create 3 medium thralls within 30 feet. They cannot move, are immune to physical damage, and a reach of 10 ft. When an enemy ends its turn in reach, it can Strike for 1d12 damage. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

This is another interesting focus spell. It's a great way to make the enemies path dangerous. They can only use magic to damage them. I'm not entirely sure why they have to be bloody, imagine instead a bunch of long bony arms with muscles to whip back and forth. The visuals are just nice.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Necromancer Day 36: Bind Heroic Spirit Learn the Bind Heroic Spirit grave spell. Destroy a thrall and gain +1 status bonus to attack rolls and saving throws for 1 minute. When you critically hit with a Strike, create a thrall adjacent to the target. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

This is another fun thematic one. Turn your thrall into a conduit to bind the spirit of a hero into your body. I do envision creating a necromancer that is entirely focused around this feat path. It sounds exciting to roleplay commandeering a spirit to use. Tomorrow I'll look at Bloody Tendrils.

Necromancer Day 35: Void Siphon When you take void damage, you gain resistance equal to your level to the triggering void damage. After the damage is taken, gain temporary hit points equal to your level, which last for one round. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #necromancer

Another nice "oh shit" button. Very helpful, especially in melee. This is the last level 4 feat, tomorrow will be the first level 6 feat: Bind Heroic Spirit.
