I'm on my third playthrough. My second was dark urge and it was a lot of fun. I'm currently playing an origin run (Wyll) and more typically good. It's fun since I've modded it to have all the companions with me. I'm only rolling six deep right now, but ladders are already annoying. Haha.

Are you doing resist or embrace? I think if I do a fourth run, I'll do a dark urge resist with a barbarian, potentially drow, because I heard those options have a lot of unique dialogue.

I just cannot believe this timeline is a real thing. Are they not embarrassed?

I don't mind paying but I'm tired of all the price hikes. I was salty earlier today and went through my emails and here's the timeline of price changes. I was annoyed in 2023 but understood it was the end of my grandfathering price back when it was just music. But then to jump up another 25% after three years? Ridiculous.

$26.99 - May 2026

$22.99 - April 2023

$14.99 - October 2020 (change to YouTube Premium)

$14.99 - June 17, 2016 (Google Music family plan)

I'm so glad you find it helpful! This is the first time I've watched something from Step Back, but it was an immediate follow for me too.

Thanks for the rec! Subscribed. If you can afford it, I also recommend Nebula which specializes in more long form videos. The UI still needs some TLC compared to YouTube, but there's a vast improvement in content quality.

A bit of a beast in terms of the amount of information communicated, but it's the best video I've seen in terms of providing the historical context behind the relationship between the US and Iran. I wasn't aware of the insider trading bits but am 0% surprised.

I've tried to avoid day to day news on the war for my own mental health but have found long form videos/documentaries as a good alternative to staying informed without being subjected to rage bait type content.

 

In 1954, the CIA wrote a classified report about Iran and coined a word: blowback. Then they filed the warning in a vault and spent seventy-two years proving it right. This video traces the 72-year paper trail from the 1953 coup against Mossadegh to Operation Epic Fury. How a peace deal was on the table the day the president ordered strikes. Why the Strait of Hormuz broke the global economy. What $20,000 drones do to $4 million missiles. Who made $580 million in oil futures fifteen minutes before a presidential tweet. And what any of us can actually do about it.
