    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I played both at launch and while there were certainly a bunch of bugs I ran into, none of them were game breaking, where I couldn't continue (or at least I was able to fix the issue with save editing, or something). Most of them were X ability/talent/mechanic didn't work right. So some classes...

    Fallout

    West coast? So they are using the story of the Fallouts that actually had decent writing? There may be hope yet for this!

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    Close enough, probably. The recommendations for playing a mage with maximum dialog choices are 18 Wis, 17 Int, 13 Cha. Going to level 6 on warrior before switching to mage gets you enough HP that you should be fine for the rest of the game, but you probably want to make sure you don't hit level...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Be aware, this game can be played as both turn based and real time w/ pause. I like turn based for most of it, but it's nice to leave it on real time for easy fights. That said, it's hard to say how much you will like this game compared to BG3 as this game is much more complicated and combat...

    Invincible

    It could have fit with the show, up until last episode at least... Since up until that point it was shown that the older Viltrumites seemed far more powerful than Mark, where maybe it takes 100+ years of using their powers to achieve peak performance. Now they could still do it, the non-woke...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Was in a bleeding edge guild, and I don't remember being anywhere close to those number of wipes in vanilla. I guess they could have blended together, but there were certainly occasions where we accepted that we didn't have the gear to make the timer, so would end raid nights early to gear up...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Does classic allow you to play 1-20 for free, like retail, or do you need to sub for any activity? I don't think I am interested enough to give them any money, but it might be fun to fart around for a few hours with these rune things.

    Napoleon (2023)

    Depends on which facts he took liberty with. Since this is about events we have a wealth of data on, I was hoping it would be much more accurate than Gladiator, which was pretty much historical fiction, like Master and Commander or Downton Abby.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Weird, I just loaded up 10 or so videos in a row w/o an issue. We are both in DFW, so it shouldn't be regional, maybe ISP related? You have a VPN you could use to jump around IP addresses (Mullvad is a good and cheap one)? There were other solutions earlier in the thread you could go back and...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    As much as I love their main games, the whole DLC model for games like this are mediocre at best. Give me an expansion or a whole new 30-40+ hour campaign. At least for this game, the combination of the two DLCs into a 10 level campaign might be better than any of the other ISO RPG DLCs that I...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Yarp, EQ got it right here, in that world PvP should have been FFA from the start and factions should be a lore NPC thing instead of a hard divide in the community. In vanilla, I wanted to play a Troll, but the two girls that were coming over from EQ refused to play if we were horde, so I had...

    Vivaldi with UO, NoScript, and Privacy Badger is working still for me, although people have been saying Privacy Badger is now redundant and not needed. It may be the case that the YT block is not rolled out for Vivaldi yet, or UO updated late in the day today? Just in case it matters, here is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The game tells you the big things that are time sensitive. The druids are casting a ritual, but it's slow. So obviously it takes a while, but if it takes a player 10 rests to get the goblin camp done, then they should probably decrease the difficulty. The Grymforge hits you over the head with a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Sure, if it's something that comes up in conversation or some such, but no need to go out of your way, as I am not sure I will even be using struts or if I will be able to fabricate a mount instead. I am using it less as a traditional splitter, and more as a replacement for the underside of my...

    Oh, you do race cars too or is this just someone you know? Have any recommendations for front splitter struts? I need to build out a custom aluminum splitter, but having a difficult time getting any solid info on the various struts. Amazon has $15 ones, and then there are companies with carbon...

    Very rarely watch Twitch but Vivaldi doesn't seem to be resource hogging.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I said one of the better games, not one of the best. Originally, I started to list what genre's and games had better stories (Adventure/RPGs), which WC3 story was certainly not better than, but then kept thinking of games that didn't fit the mold (like HL2). So, instead decided to just leave it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Video games rarely approach the best of movie and TV writing, so the bar is much lower. Warcraft 3 has the best video game story in the RTS genre and one of the better ones overall. So they were able to draw on that up until WotLK, then it was all downhill from there. Cata wasn't great, but it...

    While Pandaland didn't help, Warlords of Draenor was the one that just went stupid on the lore/story. They clawed a little bit back with Legion and then straight into the dumpster with BFA.
