There's a few types of crafting - you get jewelry crafting with the base game, socketed items with Stone Warden or escort, cursed items with Cursed, steampunk tinkering comes from the orc campaign DLC ( Embers of Rage ) and Cults adds custom item crafting, but as Pyros pointed out, that is super...

The lead character of orphan black was 98% of what made it work. Without her they don't even try really, the three actresses they have playing the same person aren't even a little bit convincing in being the same person. It's not completely awful though, was still mildly entertaining, but has...

I thought it was good, but not great. I know where the story is going from the book though, so probably a bit more suspense etc if you are coming into it fresh.

Yeah, I dropped that one for pretty much those reasons

I once got my nephew a toy phone that had the same ringtone as my sister's phone. I am pretty sure that was a crime against *something*.

Two years ? Two months is more like it.

I think he's more talking about more than combat balance in that - storywise with how BG3 ends there's not a lot of reason for the characters to be doing some epic high level adventure. Sort of cheapens out a lot of endings if it immediately segues into 'Oh hey, I am back, that problem was...

I am sure it is - not restricted to F2P shit though, from memory WoW was single-handedly keeping the entirety of Vivendi alive before the Activision 'merger'. F2P probably makes it worse though, just look at how much bullshit Epic has gotten up to off the back of Fortnite.

"I can't believe this is fucking happening to me again" LOL.

I've got mixed feelings on viral hit - the first few episodes were pretty entertaining, but his dating life is so unbelievably cringe I am not sure I can watch more of that. Kaiju 8 seems fine. Unnamed memory I struggle to pay attention. Aristocrat is ok I guess. I have yet to check out...

Surely that would put you fully in favor of paid cosmetics though ? You get a cheaper game and lose nothing you care about, while the barbie-dress-up crowd pays for updates for you.

So - random thoughts on recent stuff: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/83315/systema-delenda-est New one from the Paranoid Mage author. Um, hard to describe - it's like the Zerg invade a fantasy litrpg setting, but the twist that the MC is actually the Zerg. System Apocalypse that went a...

It's been a while, but my memory was that he had a huge sulk about the suggested edits, and was too famous to be pushed on it.

The blood bag is labelled in an unknown language and has white shit swimming in it. So it's probably just what it looks like in the ending scene.

I quite liked Dawn of the Void, was definitely a different take on that genre. Speaking of which, that guy actually started a new series on RR this week, Thrones of the Fallen. Not bad so far, I am amused that it makes the second series where being corrupted by demonic evil makes someone...

Yeah you can move resize all the ui elements, there's a lock icon on the, uh, bottom right by default I think ? Once unlocked, holding down right click on the anchor lets you resize the element, holding down left click lets you drag it around.

AFAIK it's because Mariko was Ochiba's only friend, Ishido having her killed to avoid looking weak was kind of a smooth-brained move. ( Presumably this wasn't his actual plan, given the Ronin tried to kidnap her rather than just stab her, but she fucked it up with her suicidal tendencies ) The...

Hey, it's not that bad - the last patch was july 2023, and it's already had 14 years of regular patching ;p I am not sure you can ask much more from something with the outrageously steep price of $0.

I think I have more hours in tome than in all other roguelikes combined. I give it two thumbs up for the best of the genre. It has been a while since the last DLC, but it's not like it is an early-access game or anything, it's been fully complete since like 2010, and the base game has enough...

I liked kingmaker, but wrath is just better in every way. The scope of it is just crazy - there really isn't anything else that works such epic high level stuff into the game I can think of. Worst part really is that it's just so long - there's plenty of paths I'd like to try but it's just too...

For a minor spoiler on that fight

There's nothing really similar to Kensai, but you could give smite bard ( 2pal/10 sword bard) or eldritch knight a go for the swordy-caster-type. Are you playing honor mode ? Melee is not quite so dominant there due to the changes to haste and damage riders.

What do you mean Re: Trash is a trashy show ? Simply fucking everyone involved all at the same time is clearly the correct answer to resolving potential love triangles right ? ;p

I admit to not paying full attention, but I am also confused by dragon raja. Isn't their mission to wipe out the dragons ? But they are all part-dragon and can all be mind controlled just by recordings of the black dragon's voice ? I also can't help but feel I missed something at the start -...

He re-loads with armor piercing ammo while he's talking to the BoS guys. re- Assuming the color bands on the shells indicate ammo type, he presumably used all of his AP rounds before Maximus got there.

I mean, you saw vault 31, there are no cameras, no need for that to be theoretical. For not knowing what's going on in 32, there's supposed to be no traffic/communication between 33 and 32 outside their 3 yearly person swap. Bud is clearly an idiot given how quickly the kid hacks the...

Logically it would be whenever her Dad brought them back to the vault, that seems like an obvious enough source of contamination that it would be strange if it wasn't the cause.

Yikes, there's bad bosses that don't give a fuck about you, and then there's Toranaga. Credit to the guy that basically gets ordered to open fire on the police and does it without hesitation.

Too early to tell. It's interesting enough that I will watch the next episode, but not enough that I am excited for it.

The rest of your complaints seem fair - this one though, I think you are misunderstanding. The exchange is essentially 'You, the uber-wealthy scientist/entrepreneur , are not a very good communist' 'I'm not a communist, that's just what the crazy people call anyone who doesn't agree with them'...

There's plenty of valid criticisms that can made of the show, but I don't think even the most rabid hater would say faithfulness to the source material is one of them. The show is just 100% fallout, arguably one of the most true-to-spirit video game adaptations ever done. Shit, it's probably...

This was great. Anticipation for a second season much higher than the first. The people whining about wokeness are embarrassing themselves.

I really should start another game of Dyson Sphere to check out the new combat stuff. So many games to play, so little time.

NV the only one to consider there. The writing and design are on an entirely different level to FO3/4. It's FO3, but better in every way. It also has some of the best mods of any game I have run across. FO4 has... better graphics I guess ?

It seems ok so far. SF-wise he seems to have an ridiculously implausible amount of money for a private detective and when the goons tossed his room they said he had a bunch of posters? for movies no-one had ever heard of. So there's presumably something going on there.

Don't worry, the ads will be contextual and AI powered, so it'll cut straight into goatse.

This has a bizarrely different tone from previous seasons, it's like Star Trek does National Treasure. Watch the crew run around the quadrant following wacky clues left by some mischievous Romulan to find the shiny treasure ! Burnham expecting the dude to be thankful to be offered a job as her...

I dunno that it would be a good deal, obviously better than buying all of the DLC unless you really got into Stellaris. Not buying any DLC at all unless you like the game and want more is still totally valid though ( and what I would recommend ), they actually aren't bad at rolling QoL...

Windowed modes for a lot of games are also either non-existent or poor as well. Having a full monitor so the game can use 'full screen' with everything else on a different monitor has far fewer problems. Not to mention stuff like HDR which has to be on for the whole thing not just a window etc.

No need to be an idiot ( other than arguably being one for buying it in the first place ), they are dangerous enough without that. One of my friends is a paramedic, and she has *strong* opinions on the relative safety of motorcycles in general that are based on a lot of experience.
