Yeah, I think that's a place where the story constraints collided with gameplay design and the gameplay design lost. Most of act3 is what would normally be post-game content, but having it continue on to that after the ending would make no sense at all.

Damn, I haven't seen someone get that fucked on a contract since the guy that invented CDs.

Yeah pretty much. D:OS 2 has more intuitive mechanics than BG3 does, but otherwise BG3 is a better game in every way. It helps to be familiar with D&D rules, but BG3 normal difficulty is not aimed at min-max poopsockers in any way, and you have so little you can do a low levels in DND you get...

The drones they use have a top speed of 40mph - they have to be pretty close to get anything to her inside an hour, let alone a specific flavor of gatorade. I was mostly joking though, it could actually take hours for the drones to get to her, it's not like you'd film that.

Over Michael Caine ? That's crazy talk ! ;p There's a reason 'Some men just want to watch the world burn' is a whole thing.

Actually, that one kind of checks out, given the unreasonably fast drone response times ;p

Bah, I lol'ed hard when they panned over the entire studio dressed like mimes. Some well deserved wins for E33 there, although I felt bad for the entire best debut category - obviously E33 deserved the win there, but that's like having a NFL linebacker play in your middle school football game.

As a general rule, people don't write huge walls of text unless they are emotionally invested in something. Nitpicking and arguing about trivial shit is the nerd version of approval. Genuinely bad stuff leaves people too apathetic to even bother talking about it.

Sure it does - if it is a doomsday weapon designed by politically correct enlightened liberal sensibilities. Sure, we are going to kill everyone, but there's no reason to be *rude* about it, everyone will be happy and get along, there'll be no violence, just a slow, happy, peaceful end, hell...

Probably yes, give them time to watch it first ;p And, as much as pains me: Sorry, you were pretty much exactly right, about everything other than it being a plot hole or bad writing obviously. I was joking about 'plants are living !', but apparently not. Lack of grass a benefit of filming...

Like most of Sky Pride, it's an interesting take that makes considerably more sense than the common tropes. The common fantasy of being 'boss of everything' is all power and no responsibility, but that's not a structure that actually works in reality. If the boss doesn't know shit about what's...

Well - I have to give the dev for this one credit. After getting way better than expected sales he announced three expansions for next year - for free. That's surely someone that loves their job.

Interns are mostly paid in 'valuable real world experience' and 'opportunity for advancement', so that doesn't surprise me much. I dunno on the commie/capitalism front though - CEO takes money from his peasants valued employees for personal gain is pretty peak capitalism ;p Jokes aside, they...

Someone here recommended this one from memory - fun time waster, it's a super fast roguelite kingdom building /auto-battler. You build up various buildings and hire troops to help your hero defend against giant waves of enemies, and then level and gear them up. The trick with that one is that...

Yeah, the aliens knowing enough about human genetics and psychology that this plan worked is almost as implausible as the FTL comms needed for the hive mind to work. Maybe less so on the signal frequency and encoding - there's nothing to say this was the only broadcast they were doing - they...
