    Pathfinder Bundleif you're missing some books. Thinking about tossing in 25 just to reward one of my strongest players.

    Not sure why you're bitching. Everything changes post-GECK once the real talent has the actual tools.

    I have a Valkyria Chronicles coupon for 75% on steam if anyone wants. Definitely recommend especially for $5.

    XCOM 2

    I would have thought Marksman or Psi would have been better. Seriously, who played Mass Effect as an Engineer? Psi with skulljack is essentially a vanguard/adept without.

    XCOM 2

    Additionally it's about build order and supply/time investment. You're investing more by pushing them to the bottom and not by letting them sit near the top. So we're talking about finding that sweet spot for spending the least amount of time/supply for max benefit to make commander/legendary...

    XCOM 2

    I built Power first and maxed out with just AWC/PG/GWS so I scrapped the GWS and set up the second power. Holding off on upgrading until I can maximize benefit via gremlins /engineers.

    So I started my commander ironman run - did we ever figure out the most efficient opener room start? Going to try rushing: Power -> AWC -> PG -> Power -> Workshop -> GWS -> Coms AWC : Power : PG Power: WS : Coms GWS : x : x

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    This is part of why I have continually complained that the game needs to be rebalanced around weapon mods and convenience and not +better'er damage/health. Only damage model changes should be based off caliber/ammo types and armor type /weight. Still plenty of ways to trick your gear and...

    DOTA 2

    Makes me sad that game discussion for Dota mostly revolves around dress up (seasonal), Pro-Games, or Pro Drama (seasonal).

    DOTA 2

    I can't help you actually with winning - but any roaming support/off laner should be able to get that easy. Personally for me it would be PotM/WR/Bh(last pick only) I see Bane/Nigma getting aegis regularly after the 1st/2nd aegis.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    I'd say jokes on you, assuming your also not watching the show. Missing out on some decent story telling regardless if it's finished or not.

    XCOM 2

    I think that's why the LWS mods added the Centurion - it's no Sectoid Commander, but it was definitely a pain on balancing not letting him kill someone or failing a timer. I do hope the DLC add some more elements in the game similar to EU ->EW.

    Well damn, the way I understood it only people logging hours into the participating games were going to get prizes. All those hours in CoH2 for nothing but to unlock more games for everyone. :P Surprised DoW2 won. I thought the Communist bloc solely played CoH2 despite their hatred of it.

    DOTA 2

    I played a match last night in unranked and carried team terribad against team lead lickers with an offlane Invoker. Played like shit until I got aghs up, then (even as only playing him 6ish times) the rape was unstoppable unless it was 4/5v1. I'm not saying he's imbalanced, but being a self...

    Fallout 4

    Continually disappointed. Even more so that DLC gets announced before the sdk/mod tools. Contrast between Xcom2/FO4 development mentality is staggering.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad it was Bradford piloting. . . He took us halfway around the world (S. America -> Asia), but we escaped.

    Mist Mostly Mightily Blames Other People or MMMBOP for short.

    @Cad/Soybro: At no point did I ever argue for N64 >!< Mid 90s PC. You said it made sense for Mist to be a shut in because Quake, etc. I said otherwise. Mist said N64 was literal feces, again I said otherwise by pointing out how influential it was. QFT.

    I'm not sure how I feel that I never had to defend the Avenger. The one time a UFO found me I managed to escape? I had the defense room upgraded and manned too.

    Mist Mostly Mightily Blames Other People or MMMBOP for short.

    I'll admit there are some trash games on Uut's list that are worse than feces, but I'm fairly certain the PSX/N64 are the only reason gaming as a hobby survived the 90s. Without that N64 gripping the heart of American suburbs I doubt you'd see gaming even remotely as strong as it is today and...

    XCOM 2

    Definitely just you. I had dual snipers up through until the last push where I swapped one for psi. Get to a perch, rain death, move forward, repeat. Sniper with ext mag, auto loader, and repeater is a recipe for destruction. That first time you kill 6+ enemies in a single round with serial or...

    Mist Mostly Mightily Blames Other People or MMMBOP for short.

    I don't see anything that makes sense there. I see a person that complains about being unhappy and alone, then actively avoids an opportunity to socialize and connect with tangible people for strangers on the internet. You know, people that you could completely destroy on a split screen game...

    XCOM 2

    Best I can tell, yes. I had centurions nearly every mission at that point and then poof magically gone after SC is built and you start seeing the spawn pool at mission select. Sad to say the game got a lot easier at that point. If anyone cares, 40ish hours on the Vet run.

    XCOM 2

    Finished my Veteran run tonight after the original CDR run was a no go. Besides the expected release bugs I don't have any real complaints and find myself excited by the possibilities of what the DLC/Mods have to offer for future runs. The only performance gripe I have is the post-mission...

    XCOM 2

    I find that the sword, as balanced, is not good for anything but bladestorm. and thus a heavy weapon or SG is needed for close range encounters. Kitted Out SG + AP rounds guarantees a kill with Run and Gun and the subsequent Untouchable proc.

    XCOM 2

    You're downloading the game in an uncompressed state so you can essentially make your own game with any or every asset from the base game. I'd take that over other companies saying: "The engine is too complex for the average person to mod. So you get nothing."

    Fantasy Grounds Curse of Strahd campaign

    Most fun I ever had with a PC was as a disguise/cha assassin. Having really shitty Dex/Str really makes it hard to kill your targets until you learn to bend/manipulate people into unknowingly killing your target. Being the solo LE/in a mostly CG/NG group is fun when only the DM knows your true...

    XCOM 2

    I highly suggest against SMG ranger until t2/3. T1 is extremely punishing where you're hurting for dmg/skills/stats/items to compensate and compliment the low dmg/bonus mob. Pound for pound you're better off with an AR/SG Ranger until t2. I have one dedicated as a Skulker and it didn't work at...

    Second Wave wasn't a part of EU release either, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember options being based off player feedback post-release. Calm your tits, broni.

    I think I'm playing a differant game from Gavin. SMG on my hacker has been clutch for beating the timer/skull mining the last Soldier before they kill off an exposed Soldier. Then at higher levels dumping them into a pack to trigger it and getting off some quick shots before being told to...

    Fantasy Grounds Curse of Strahd campaign

    It's DM discretion and PC dependent. Typically it's WIS (Perception)/INT (Arcana) to notice it, WIS (Insight)/INT(Investigation) to figure it out, INT (Arcana)/DEX (Sleight of Hand) to disarm. Think about Thieves Den with a hidden spike pit. Rogue walks in and thinks "If this was me I'd booby...

    Watched it with a girl I used to date - both of use definitely enjoyed it. Sold it as Mad Max x Kung Fury and it delivered as such. Bonus points because Apple looks so much like her sister and has similar mannerisms/personality.

    You can, yes, just not by clicking the button afaik. Do a blade attack via part of your movement: hover over the intersection of where you want to stand and the enemy and the slash icon should appear - right click and bam moving and attacking from where you want (important for the flanking...

    Deadpool (2016)

    It's a comic book movie, if you don't have an interesting dynamic between who to root for and who to hate it leaves everything in between muted to some extent - ie aimless film progression. Movie can still be good, but it now has an obvious weak point that starts to unravel the rest of the...

    So I learned to never try to melee a Centurion today. Second play through is going better and quite a ways in and have only lost 1 Soldier so far. Sadly It was one of my leaders. Losing on the geoscape though. Maxing out contacts then not being able to take another blacksite until you get a...

    Threshold is the same, just aliens are consistently hitting harder. Definitely makes you feel like an underdog risking everything to find an advantage. What is the pathway to faster healing though? Feels like I can't escape without one Soldier taking a random hit from across the map that even...
