Just finished Ripple System Book 3 (Gilded Ghost), am enjoying it. Listening to Shattersoul now.

I'm a retard complaining about tower gear and I didn't even play because these TLPs aren't challenging enough to be worth my time. Buncha boomers running around like gerbils waiting for respawn to collect their loot pellets. The anniversary tower is just another shiny pellet to make the game...

If I were to chart my home's value as denominated in BTC over the last ten years, would it not primarily just be a chart of BTC's price and mostly obscure real-estate value fluctuations?

Yeah but I love games with a lot of variety. All the elements combine together to give more depth and keep the gameplay loops feeling fresh.

Crazy that this dude survives this but 6-year-old girl killed by badminton racket while vacationing with family in Maine also happens.

I hit ctrl + shift + b to open up 32 inventory/bank bags in EQ, then when I'm done I hit escape 32 times to close them all.

Historically AC games haven't been very modable, but a mod that basically turns Yasuke into CJ from GTA:SA would be $$$. AI voice acting in 2024 makes this absolutely feasible from a voice acting standpoint.

Yeah if you just roll around a few times you can beat every mechanic in the game. No can defend. But seriously, everything about ER is a work of art. If you like fantasy RPGs it should be first on your list to play.

Here is how many people who haven't played ER rate its difficulty: "masochistic self-flagellation that you have to endure before you 'succeed'". Do you think that is an overating of its difficulty?

Just preordered 8 copies.

ER's difficulty is really overrated. A little bit of meta gaming (leveling up, getting gear/build advice, doing the content in the "right' order) makes it merely a hardish game.

One of the latest late game entities is the Arcolink Storage which is a 10 slot container that shares inventory like a Minecraft shulker box. This is obviously extremely powerful and makes significant challenges in SE obsolete. It's so powerful I was honestly a little disappointed when I...

What is the DAO brand and how is it differentiated from other popular fantasy RPGs?

A key question is whether DEI garbage is a root cause of the issues being discussed. I'd argue that any DEI garbage filled outfit like Bioware 2024 is incapable of producing a game like DAO (in terms of design) or even the trailers posted here.B

I figure the design doesn't start with them wanting to build whatever Veilguard is, and they chose whether to use a new IP or an old one. The design instead starts with them wanting to build another game in the current IP and they choose to build Veilguard from that. They don't really have the...

Uh huh. Problem is that when you've got a studio that's developed a bad reputation there's really no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they're dialed into a target demo that doesn't consist of fan's of the series and instead is striking into a new demographic of young...

Just looked up the trailers for DAO. Blood, violence, sex, honor and sacrifice. In the DA Veilguard these are all second-class concepts to the cartoony hijinx with a carefully diverse cast. If the new DA trailers were anything like that I'd be looking forward to the reviews at the very...

I tried looking at this objectively and without bias and figure out what makes me disinterested in it. I think for a trailer showing off the team being built I just see a group of rag tag losers who I need to give constant pep talks to in order to help them overcome the same emotional baggage...

I don't remember ever reporting a user on this forum. Spent way too much time policing us retards already.

Nothing to talk about for this game, so let's make this the seventeenth active thread in this forum whining about gender politics.

Wow, someone report this shitlord go the church of woke for this heresy.

Lol get fukt to your friend. Good to see them busting up cheaters even if there is collateral damage. I hope this extends to the industrial strength cheaters.

Redoing my vulcanite planet. It served me so well this year, but it still feels great to go back and use what I learned to create really dense, efficient factories. This particular one condenses 3 different factories together to get vulcanite blocks from vulcanite core fragments and raw...

Yeah who knows. If they offer low level build options I'll be tempted to take them.

"it’s such a rare thing for marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted" lmao, like a dude getting a tribal tattoo and feeling brave and tough doing showing it off.

Would have been even worse if the strongest voting bloc in this country wasn't boomers watching their savings get eaten away by politicians, yes. Many other countries with their own currency don't have that in the same way the USA does. Doesn't stop politicians from printing $$$ for short-term...

Isn't BTC defensible as a currency and store of value because unless its cryptography cracks it can't be devalued the same way fiat can? It becoming more or less valuable relative to other currencies has no bearing on that. I'm happy using USD as a currency and store of value because the US...

I probably won't start my new playthrough of ER until after the DLC drops. I had planned to do some kind of lightning build but now I'm tempted to try the light greatsword if I can get an OP build early. Then again ER is so damn long I'd want to try 3+ builds in a playthrough.

This shit is why I'm not excited the upcoming Mandoverse seasons. It's like it was written by someone deep in a fever dream. Compare that with Andor where most everything fits cleanly even upon close inspection.

Embracing diverse sexuality in of itself isn't even the biggest issue. It's a culture of using the product you're building as a platform to preach your particular brand of virtues rather than being focused on improving the product itself. This spreads beyond design decisions of the product and...

Positive feedback gameplay loops are important.

Wow. I'd bet against that being attempted all the to the catch attempt. Destruction or damage of stage 0 could set them back. Maybe they'll "attempt" it with a likely abort like they did so many times with the falcon landing adjacent to the landing craft.

at least play the game before boldly pointing out mistakes in trailer

lol @ 38:47 in my vid when that busted ass flap lowers despite being melted to shit. Watching the Starship get toasted to fuck for 10 minutes really illustrates the challenge. It's not just some momentary brake you need to survive through but 600+ seconds of hades where any failure lets a...

During the initial plasma phase it's remarkable to me that a ship can generate plasma without slowing down. The ship is descending as it exits orbit, so the energy of gravity is equivalent to the friction generating plasma and the air is so thin that even if there is a lot of bright plasma...
