    If Monster Hunter were first person, a shooter, didn't have cooking as a main part of the game, and you don't make your gear out of monsters... Then yes... a clone...

    This has a really cool aesthetic and great graphics. Will keep an eye on it.

    I would have just demanded he file a ticket for it. Then demand that he has an approval for the HR db from the HR team. Finance and accounting most people won't care about but the HR people actually are good about guarding PII and compensation data. If he was expecting something extra special...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    It does annoy me that I missed the Genestealer patriarch because progressing that quest is behind a stupid dialog option. I had just finished like 3 hours of back to back fights and the moment I got to the bridge the Vox guy was all "we have some reports from the lower decks. Wut do?" I said...

    I mean its $5. A beer you drink in less than 30 minutes is like $8 today. Mass refunding here is quite gay. The game being super short is also quite gay.

    Bloat happens real bad during the good times. The Corona hiring panic made it much worse and it happened in like 5 years.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Wife got these ones at Costco. Way better than the burger flavored ones I bought. Tallow chips leave an almost waxy feeling in your mouth though, which makes them worse than good old fashioned kettle chips.

    Eris coming to the Dojo was good shit. Although its kind of odd because as a child she was expertly killing huge monsters and demons. So its weird to see her struggle learning the sword.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    @Phazael not to spoil it for you or anyone really but if you are playing for the Necron DLC I highly recommend rushing the first planet mission when you can. Once completed Trazyn decides you are interesting and provides you with his commentary on most missions. Which is quite amusing.

    Predictive, targeted advertisement algorithms run off of Facebook data mostly. These datasets cost millions of dollars to purchase and millions more to maintain. This is their primary revenue stream as all advertisement today is essentially downstream of Facebook/Google.

    His shouting in combat, while fitting, does get old pretty quickly too. Making him into a worse version of Argenta is just sort of lame.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    They have a lot of Astartes only equipment now. He can only use that stuff and Heavy Weapons. The Necron stuff has you meet some other chapters so he gets more Astartes gear. But you can only really have him with the Chainsword and Bolter, or the double melta. He gets a really good power sword...

    From what I read this is an example of getting spitroasted. They have a deal with anthropic to route all their AI shit through their own datacenters, at least partially.

    Dark Eldar guy sucks, I had Heinrix take him on a Black Ship after I lost interest in his companion quests. Drukhari are cool in theory but a guy who is nuts about torturing everything and betraying you is just not that interesting to keep around. All he wants is to regain control of his Kabal...

    I wont be playing it until it his PC. I haven't had a console in years and that won't be changing. I am about to replace my tower with a SteamCube, or I want to, we'll see how it goes.

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    It isn't like its hard to keep the general GTA gameplay loop fun. Stealing cars, racing around an open world, getting in gun fights, committing crime, etc are the core gameplay loop. This has been true since the very first GTA, a top down 2d game. The other video posted has it right. The good...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Why do you need Teams on your personal computer? My main PC is Linux, no issues with anything. SteamOS making things just functional without me having to tinker with Linux is going to be great. I want to retire my 17 year old tower.

    Entering Act 3 I had to turn it up to Unfair. As long as I have my MC (noble officer who can't really deal damage), Argenta, and Pasqal I am almost certain to wreck any encounter. I've been rotating in a lot of the other companions lately. My ratings: Abelard is good only because you don't get...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Everyone here loves EQ. But I hope that after 25 years you can realize the game had stunning design issues that were only relatively frictionless because the internet and computer games were less accessible than they are today. You now have another 25 years of EQ optimization play on top of that...

    It's a great company to work at. I very specifically chose to work here for the nice low employee count and startup vibes. They just had idiotic pajeets in a staff and senior role for the past 5 years while the org was developing. Overall this company has very few of them. I am going to figure...

Now, Kafka is not the only one but it was one of the first as far as I know. These messaging services...

    What did you just read?

    These are books apparently being made into a game... or the other way around IDK. But it all points to being a Mass Effect type game. The book is cool and the premise is interesting enough but I think it really fucks up the Progenitor Trope. People go to a new galaxy to live and because of time...

    I believe that this whole mentality is a cover. If you have tribal knowledge of completely retarded spaghetti code the non-technical leadership thinks you're awesome for "working so hard." As they just see that the solution produces the output they claim they want. When none of it is necessary...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    You still have to side with a Mindflayer and the whole game goes on warming you up to them so it makes some sense. With the Mindflayer in the Underdark and the Emperor. I have nothing against making a Mindflayer "friendly" but its still convoluted as they are like the Apex evil. I always liked...

    Going to Avernus with Karlach is one of the best endings though. I hated pretty much everything about having someone become a Mindflayer. The Dead Three were cool villains by themselves but their motives were relatively retarded. When compared to BG1 and BG2 they fall really flat. Sarevok knew...
