    Science Ethics and Racism in Drug Enforcement Thread

    So just because I read this whole thing and I'm not 100% clear on both positions. Hodj, is your argument built on the premise that ethics are a universal truth that all actions are measured against. Cad, is your argument that people make up Ethics to justify whatever they want to do...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    So while this might be the wrong thread, I think that its still relevant. Check out the fucking forces of nature. These images are amazing. The Eruption of Chiles Calbuco Volcano - The Atlantic

    My cherry tree going ham. With the messed up weather it bloomed about 3 weeks early, I used a charcoal BBQ under it on the nights the over night temperature dropped below freezing. 1 2 3 Previously.

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Yup, I'm done with Dice, they've become the EA poster child studio for how to be absolute dicks with price points / recycling shit so fast there isn't even time for a longterm player base to exist for its titles. Bad Company 2 rocked, I had a lot of fun with battlefield 3, I bought...

    Witcher 3

    Ya, an understatement. I'm feeling a bit of hype for this one.

    Witcher 3

    Sweet videos, the bit of combat animation looked pretty cool, and he said on any difficulty harder than easy the game could be as punishing as dark souls. Having your potions auto refill on meditation from alcohol reserves and being able to use them any time are really nice quality of...

    Witcher 3

    You get 20% off on steam if you preorder (total) is GoG's 20% off include the pre-order? or is it 30% off?

    Witcher 3

    I was just going to mention that I really like the fact that if you own each Witcher game on steam they give you 5% off the preorder. Nice nod to buyers of the previous titles and worth another mention.

    Grand Theft Auto V

    Well you can only jack up the visuals to the point that the game engine allows. Very few cross platform games have blazing PC ports because you can use shitty graphics on better hardware but not better graphics on shittier hardware. It only goes one direction. We are also in the middle...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    You really don't think there is some iteration of AT-AT interaction that allows combat to take place on/in/around in some capacity? And that that gameplay can be located on different places on the map vs a predetermined path? I just see it as a lost opportunity. Its just an AC-130 set...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    I pretty much always wanted AT-AT's to be attached to rails. I couldn't have dreamed up a better solution than that in my mind.

    Witcher 3

    Single player rpgs are the last place I give two shits about loot balance. If you don't want to break the game don't use the broken shit, if you do use it. Its all personal at that point.

    Classic games you loved and why. (Nostalgia thread)

    My first real multiplayer, with my brother we played this for hours. I tried to play as realistic as possible and only survived until 1918 twice, my closest pilot died months before the end of the war. Legendary Manual pages referenced as passwords - it was the best when you...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    You know you can shift queue move commands even though the UI gives extremely poor feedback, If you shift queue waypoints for all your moves into action you won't have these pathing problems that arise from crossing the paths of enemies/friendlies. You can shift queue combat actions as...

    DOTA 2

    Razor saw some pretty significant nerfs. The mana cost, and cooldown of static link severely limit how hard you can dominate with it. And he became a shitty aegis carrier. He got hit really hard. Troll also has a built in bash, which will break link. Razor is much stronger...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I honestly feel for you if that's the case, I seriously think your experience is extremely rare. You should post your saves on their forums with your details, it might resolve the bug(s). That's how most of the big ones got fixed from what I could tell. Dropbox links is what the dev's...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Yeah, I think your experience is an outlier, sorry it sucked. I got a few int on kana and I lost my main character passives. I have learned long ago, since the before time, that if a game lets you make a lot of saves, just make them so you never have to start over from scratch and...

    Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarted Sandbox Space Flight Sim)

    Saw that, I'm glad they backed off their initial stance that there seemingly wouldn't be a steam version, when I loaded it up today I was surprised and happy to see it. Its worth the praise.

    Witcher 3

    All those things are fine with me as long as I am entertained. To be honest I"m sure Ill burnout before 200 hours. Who cares if you don't complete 100% of everything if it wasn't fun whatever. At least you know there is probably 75 hours guaranteed of something you enjoy doing at least...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    One is sci-fi the other is fantasy. PoE is more like BG - there are 8 voiced companions with their own story/quest/acting. Wasteland has party members - they have personality - but it is not as meaty as the fantasy component. Wasteland obviously doesn't have fireballs as it has...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    There is radius looting, you can loot to stash (which is unlimited i think but huge at least). There is no encumbrance what so ever, each character has 16 inventory slots, the main panel of inventory exposes all of them at once. The inventory experience is still loot the shit out of...

    Might increases all damage types, including spells. Its part of their stat design to allow any character archtype you want to deal more damage. The documentation in game is good within the journal.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I agree with you about one thing, Eder should have been the first companion and not required you to rest at the inn before he would join you. But beyond that I'm not sure that suggesting that playing the game with only 2 mages (with a party limit of 6) is the most genuine way to express your...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I looks pretty good all told, I am about to complete my dungeon. I have the barracks, some general defenses - hired 8 mercenaries to man the place. I'm enjoying it for what it is, and if it continues to surprise me - that's rad too. Without limited resting, where would any kind of...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    The banter begins inside the first city, after I had a full party. Eder has my favorite dialog so far. Edit: Reading this thread makes this game sound like a piece of shit, which I can hardly believe people are suggesting. The game offers heavy micro management autopausing combat...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I've played through on hard without any generated characters, I picked a PC ranger. I have Eder, Durance, Kana, Aloth, and Sagani (barely). I did all of chapter 1 with just those 5, strategically I put a shield on edur and stuck him in defensive stance the whole time. When...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Game is really really good, the default control binds were in garbage places on the keyboard or in some cases not bound at all. That said with a few tweaks. I could type way more than I need to. Suffice to say, if you want an isometric baulder's gate RPG with a 2015 update you...

    Final Fantasy XV (PS4 / XB1 / PC)

    The ff13 2 port works fine assuming you don't have an older pc, the beefier your rig the better your performance. It never crashed once in all the time I played it - I used a 360 gamepad. I have way less harsh opinions of final fantasy games than most. I thought the story of 13 through...

    Keep in mind WASD moves the camera in only 4 directions with a single key. To pan at an angle its two key presses simultaneously with holding. You can edgepan more fluidly in all 8 directions. You only have 5 fingers. How do you handle shift queuing. Pinky on Shift, The thumb is...
