    WarTales is a similar game and I liked it better. Check it out.

    Embers Adrift

    Dude I played EQ starting in the beta and absolutely loved it. I guess I will give it some more time but holy fuck there is nothing interesting or compelling in this for me.

    Embers Adrift

    WTF you guys? This game is fucking awful. Jesus Christ it's boring.

    Embers Adrift

    Other than some of the infrastructure issues NW had when it started up, did you guys feel this positive about it when you got in? I.e. did the design flaws not really show up until later? Just wondering if you guys are still in the honeymoon period. Either way, it sounds like it's pretty easy...

    I gotta be honest. I'm surprised you guys aren't shitting on this. Might have to give it a look.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I thought there were some interesting and fun aspects of the game but I gave it up when I got to my first instance quest and I couldn't do it because no one else needed it since they don't allow alts. Also the economy is a little fucky. (edit: replying to you guys talking about NW)

    Medieval Dynasty

    I started a playthrough recently, having not played it much in the last year and they've done a nice job continuing to improve it. There are still some things that could be rebalanced and thought out more to make it more interesting. Some examples: - You have to babysit some of the...

    Dark and Darker

    This is the most interesting thing to show up on my wishlist in quite a while. Too bad it is a year out. I'd probably buy into a closed beta on it. Seems like they may have been surprised by the positive reaction to it and hence have extended the test? Either that or they are still trying to...

    What are you playing?

    I just, for the first time in my life, picked up what I consider to be a higher end gaming PC and I need something that really shows off its capabilities. So used to playing older games on my potato. Problem is I have a hard time getting into some of the guided story games like Elden Ring...

    Looks interesting. How is the PvP?

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    If you guys are into multiplayer M&B, take a look at the Bannerlord Online mod. They have been killing it with updates for quite a while. They're far more inspired and productive than the retards at TaleWorlds. I'm a huge fan of the series and I have gotten a lot of play time in the EA but...

    Depression

    I haven't seen much about long-term side effects. I'll do some research on that. My doctor made them sound pretty safe. Only thing I noticed was that I was a little twitchy when I first got on them and it felt like I had a condom on when I was having sex. Thankfully that went away.

    Depression

    Not sure what this means. I haven't been diagnosed with depression, but I did have a random panic attack a couple of years ago, which led into a period vague anxiety/dread. It was really strange how it came out of nowhere but the doc put me on an SSRI, which reduced those symptoms that had...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I've spent most of my career in automotive, some medical/iot/automation. Python/Ruby for testing/data processing. A little C#/C++ here and there. 95%+ in C. I've used Dictionaries in Python a few times so I am familiar with the concepts; it just seemed a bit much and a bit open-ended to...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    As a Firmware guy, the question they gave me was: Implement a hash SDK in C without using arrays. lolwut I've had to use hash tables once in my entire career and that was in Python for testing.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The stuff I have seen was a little more involved than that. When I interviewed with a chip manufacturer for a pre-silicon team, it was 4 hours of programming exercises with 4 different people. It sucked. Side note, after I told Amazon to pound sand, they came back and said they could give me...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    A year ago it would have been a humble brag but right now salaries are all over the place, even remote- anyone with decent skills, good communication, good work ethic, etc. should be able to make 150k+ base with a little searching. The Amazon range is admittedly pretty high for remote work...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Amazon recruiter contacted me about a 300k job. Big tech is really going big on salaries in this environment. I agree to talk to them about it and they send me a package that includes like 2 hours of coding exercises and who knows how many (3-4?) hours of recommended prep work. Fuck. Off...

    Icarus (Survival, Rocketwerkz)

    They are adding a lot of stuff but I don't see getting around the fundamental tediousness of the game. I got my hours out of it but I probably won't be coming back. Also, I'd really like to see them focus some effort on optimization.

    I bought this game for PS4 at release and put it away due to the shitshow. Now that they have achieved the greatest redemption story arc in the history of video game companies, and my PS4 is in a landfill, is it worth buying for PC at half price?

    V Rising

    Yeah Valheim is superb and they are just SO SLOW with updates. I'm thinking about picking this up but I am wondering if it's a trap. Plus no one I know wants to play it. How is it solo?

    V Rising

    How does PvE (or G) and PvP work in this game? If I start a server with friends, do we build a castle together or separately? I assume we can co-op against bosses? Are there any non-vampire PCs?

    RIP Araysar

    $20 for a license and I get the experience, some level of herd management, and a freezer full of venison. What is it you always say? Poaching is "for poors". Dipshit.

    New World

    I made it to 25 and did the quest chain to get into the first expedition and couldn't find a group running it. Seems like everyone is doing end game stuff or carrying a guildee through. Maybe the dungeon finder will help with this sort of thing. Otherwise it's probably the end of the game...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Urlithani, bro, you miscounted the number of kids you have. You essentially have a 3rd one. I've been married for 20 years; my wife can be a giant pain in the ass and I would fucking never get into a second marriage if I were to divorce now but holy fuck I guess I really have nothing to...

    Kinda bummed that this game shows some promise and they seem to have completely lost the opportunity with the fucked up release. Very little bump from the free weekend and discount.

    New World

    I do see newbies around town and sometimes at quest sites. I've been playing around with tradeskills a little more to see if there is anything profitable.

    New World

    There isn't even a mod for gear sets? Biggest turnoff for me so far has been that it is 100% solo early game. Sometimes you just want to be by yourself but it is also nice to start meeting people and learning group dynamics in a Blackburrow/Ragefire.

    New World

    The most surprising piece of that is that they ignored the warnings about duping. The game is so heavily dependent on tradeskills and the economy. They should have just wiped early on. Has that shit worked itself out of the system for the most part? I have found that I have been able to sell...
