If you like the movement, try Titanfall 2 if you haven't already. The Finals also has some fantastic fast paced gameplay and movement. Open Beta is currently running and I haven't had so much fun in an FPS for a very long time now.

I fucking hate these piece of shit cars. I will never not think that they all have to compensate for something.

I'll make sure to check with them! Looking through Feats right now to see if there is something to boost speed.

Good idea! I already have the "Aggressive" trait from being an Orc but this only allows movement towards an enemy. I'll look around for ways to improve speed.

I just found my next feat I think. "Fey Touched". I know it's only once per long rest but get this: You get Misty Step AND another 1st level spell from School of Divination or School of Enchantment. School of Enchantment has "Hex" as a first level spell. Imma hex them, choose either STR or DEX, depending on the description of the enemy from the DM. Since I can't cast two spells in one round, I'm gonna use Misty Step the next round and do a teleports behind you nothing personnel, kid - move, then use Action Surge to do the shove / grapple combo. Fuck, I already look forward to the next level up.

Hmmm for some reason I've not thought about picking it but will definitely check it again!

He only lets me do it when I have one hand free to technically 'grapple' and I have to topple/shove them to make them prone. But thanks for the reminder!

I try not to do 'unrealistic' grappling and try to use the tools I have to grapple. For example, use the pick to pierce their limbs and keep them in place or pin them down with the shield when prone. But always with a hand free to make the condition to grapple legit.

I dish out some damage with the warpick and usually throw it at an enemy or simply drop it in the middle of combat. Sometimes I throw away the shield too or use it to grapple, like topple an enemy and then use the shield to pin them down as a 'grapple'. I try to flavor it differently, depending on combat situation, as not to make it too boring for everyone while just going "Imma grapple them".

Never thought it's gonna be so much fun! Now I wanna get into rock crawling and asked my friend to print me a new chassis for the TRX-4M, so fucking hyped!

What's your current project?

Wow, most of these points just sound like a responsible way to handle all the bullshit requests from employees. I'm not saying make it unnessecarily painful for employees to request changes. However, I currently work at a company that did the "just do it" approach for years, got big with it and now our department needs to clean up the bullshit of many years to get the company up to code with whatever regulations we are under and people still think we can continue working just like that.

Sounds stupid compared to other stuff here, but a Traxxas TRX-4M 1/18 RC Scale Crawler. I bought it on a whim and then got into modifying it. I've been putting in a bit of money, but it's super fun to play with it and it gets me out of the house to explore the neighbourhood for some good places to crawl it.

I deal with stuff like this on a daily basis as I'm in a hybrid function in support / sys admin. We get this not from managers, but from our users. "Hei this is how we would like to work, can you please change the system?"

While I absolutely understand the reason for this, it's hard to do for 600 users. And our new boss also supports this approach because we need to be a good service provider for our internal customers. But always having to research if the requests even are implementable and what the implications of the implementation are is so fucking time consuming. I still have other shit to do.

What I want to say is, I feel like I shouldn't always have to be the one to directly receive (change) requests but they should already have been checked and approved.

I shouldn't have to do 1. & 2. or even 3. from your list. I should receive a clear work order and then look into the implementation.

But I guess that's wishful thinking.
