    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I can see how the remastering of 1 would end up throwing the flaws of 2 into much sharper contrast.

    I've been clean of this game since MoP (which I played barely a month of) and I'd honestly consider resubbing for that.

    XCOM 2

    Did you forget that getting a killshot on a lost gives you your action back? Snipers and Templars can wipe out every lost in range every turn when you have that order with just regular shots.

    Total War: Warhammer

    I'm not gloating because I would have been more than happy to have been proven wrong lol. I'm sure a mod that makes it so minor settlements don't always generate a siege battle will make it possible to tweak the battle distribution the way you like it.

    XCOM 2

    There's a Reaper resistance order called Between The Eyes, I've only ever seen it once but it makes any shot on a lost an instakill. Including pistol shots!

    XCOM 2

    The biggest flaw of WotC is that it magnifies the already existing biggest flaw of the Firaxcom games, the difficulty cliff. It adds tons more difficulty to the early game(the Assassin is the default starting chosen and she's the biggest pita to deal with early on), but mid to late game you're...

    He can still name all 6 QBs picked ahead of him and iirc his family cancelled their season tickets when the Niners didn't draft him. A Brady knows how to hold a grudge.

    Oh for some reason I was thinking Firaxis et all were part of EA, not Take Two/2K. So it's even worse than I thought, I originally thought this was just EA shuffling things around but no it sounds like a lot of the people responsible for the Firaxcom games just flat out quit, probably because...

    Didn't he move his family to Florida? I doubt they want to move again so soon, and definitely not to Tennessee from Florida.

    Wait so wtf is going on at Firaxis? They gutted the XCom team while releasing some Marvel card game garbage, and instead of XCom 3 the new studio is working on Star Wars?

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    You aren't playing the original version of ME 1. I'm not saying the gameplay of 2 isn't still rather rough, but there's zero question that it was smoother than the original version of 1.

    Yeah I sorted through the tweets and it's all unsourced bullshit. Typical of Booze to post garbage.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    The biggest flaw of ME2 is how much of the game is spent on recruitment and loyalty missions. And it's a pretty damn big flaw, people were just so happy for the improved gameplay over 1 that they looked past it.

    You live in MN right? That's a bit far north for pears, although Southern MN is only just outside the zone. Probably a pollination issue, assuming it's really a pear tree.

    It's the MMO subforum. If I bothered to post in here it would probably be the only thing I'd talk about too unless you wanted to hear me reminisce about WotLK raiding, or my Cata alt army. He does wildly exaggerate how good the Endwalkers story is, I personally think Shadowbringers was a lot...

    I guess technically the answer to that question is yes? It was a multiplayer thing, I don't know if sync kills even exist(ed) in single player.

    Yeah I wonder if there's a reason I also mentioned Quinn's record, which was a single game north of 500 when the Falcons shitcanned him after his 0-5 start last season. Doesn't really compare to McVay's 55-26 regular season record. Also @Daezuel this does not count as me defending McVay, he...

    Why would anyone give Dan Quinn the time of day ever again for the HC position? Even if it was against Brady, he suffered one of the most humiliating losses in Super Bowl history and would have ended his career below 500 if they hadn't fired him when they did.

    Out of curiosity, is piping in extra crowd noise actually against any rules? Is there a rule out there that says you cant have white noise generators buried under the field?

    yeah but if I wet-brine I can let the bucket sit out in the garage, which stays at just the right temperature this time of year. Space is a bit of an issue. Maybe I can improvise something in the garage.

    So I have a leftover turkey from thanksgiving that I want to get out of the freezer to clear up space. Having never brined a turkey before, I assume I can use any old five gallon bucket as long as I'm using a liner bag right? and just tie the bag off in lieu of having a lid for the bucket?

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    He's a good enough QB, and like Kirun said the best the Niners have had since Young. He plays above the Dalton-Bridgewater line which is usually the best you can hope for in the modern NFL.
