    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I have a lot of time in the ship builder, but have only stolen a few ships. What it looks like to me is that stealing ships gets you mods sooner than you can get unlocking them by leveling up in the builder. On the second ship I stole, at around level 10, it had two huge fuel tanks. Those tanks...

    I think I have spent more time in Unity games than any other engine, by a wide margin. It will be sad to see it crash the indie scene if Unity goes under, but yea, 7000 people just for an engine seems ludicrous.

    Yar, it was more of a what-if; I doubt it's manipulation, just maximizing what they can cash out. The numbers may be so bleak that they need to do something drastic, regardless, and this is what the CEO is set on doing. So the other C-Suits can see the writing on the wall.

    Ahsoka

    In the Rebels episode where they were introduced, Hera states that they have been known (or according to stories) to destroy or damage most ships that get near them, because they don't give a fuck about your ship and will just fly right into it or through it. So any experienced ship captain...

    He never said the US deserved it. It was a conversation about Bush calling the terrorists cowards. Maher said the US lobbing cruise missiles at targets in the Middle East, while we were all sitting comfortable in our homes was cowardly and that the terrorist that rode the planes all the way into...

    If you want to go true scumbag insider trading angle, the execs use a shell company or individual to buy back in at a lower price, right before they announce that they are no longer implementing this plan. Although that's probably too easy to trace, if anyone is actually worried about...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Sounds like a much better show to me. The panel discussion was the only thing I watched, to see what the non-MSM Libs were talking about. All his "comedy" is absolute shit and maybe this means he will get back to the 5 people panel with a push to get more conservatives on the show too.

    There are a lot of movies that I "don't hate" that I haven't watched since around when they were released. I don't hate 300, Van Helsing, Jarhead, or PoTC: The Curse of the Black Pearl but I haven't seen them in 15 years. They, along with AotC and RoTS, are all about the same in a desire to see...

    I guess it depends on how much you like the prequels. Obviously JarJar pulls everything around him down, but outside of that, I don't hate Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith, but I haven't watched any of them in 15+ years. Additionally, Clone Wars probably made me view those movies much...

    Yar, I guess I didn't look at Barb female very long, cause the male looks like Conan. I also didn't really want to play the fat bastard druid either though...since you have to look at them when you are on character select and inventory.

    On my first playthrough, maximized leap on Lae'Zel (with a feat) felt OP, but leaping does have the penalty of burning your bonus action. Which in my new playthrough with a paladin, I have been wanting to use on other stuff.

    The last season (7) of Clone Wars is almost as good as Empire Strikes Back, it's just that you have to wade through The Phantom Menace (season 1), then Attack of the Clones (season 2 and 3) to get to Revenge of the Sith level for Season 4. Then season 5, 6, and 7 are all better than anything...

    Did you see if they are changing the upfront costs of the various plans?

    Reading that thread is interesting, and I am only on page 2 atm... @Control posted a good deal of info about this Unity thing in Game Dev thread in grown up forum too. It looks like there wont be any retroactive charges, so they will avoid some lawsuits there. They are just going to count all...

    Game development career thread:

    Welp, EU studios have 3 months to get lawsuits ready. With as popular as Unity is, I would expect them to be burred in lawsuits. This sounds like it's going to kill the Indie scene. Will this make Unity engine more expensive than Unreal? What other alternatives are there?

    Ahsoka

    I was also thinking along these lines. She wasn't actually in the World Between Worlds, but in some kind of force meditative stasis. If you want to go more into the spiritual side of the force, we have seen the force manifest itself to Jedi in places that are very powerful with the Force in...

    I was figuring, on a new house build on an empty piece of property, if you have the wells for it drilled at the same time you are having a water well drilled (using the same company), then it would make the math work out much better, but never actually priced it out. It's also supposed to be a...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I didn't expect much and feel I got what I expected. It's Fallout 4 in space and I will get about the same 30 to 40 hours out of it that I got with FO4. I haven't played in 3 days, because of lack of interest, but people say the UC missions and Pirate missions are good, so I at least want to get...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The space combat is pretty shitty, or I am doing it wrong. Everything outside of missiles is auto seeking as soon as it's in front of a ship (until you get a lock, then missiles too), so the "difficulty" is just building a bigger bullet sponge that can take three ships barring down on you while...

    By the end of DoS2, Larian went from a AA studio of around 40 people in one location to 130 in three locations. Then by the end of BG3, they went from those 130 people in three locations to 450 in six locations that they have now. I would argue that that they were hiring people as needed and...

    There is no way to track it. For the ship parts and base building ones that require 30 "different" items be made/outfitted, I used the long list of cheap shit (like furniture for outpost and structural for ships) and just started at the top. Every model counts as a new item made, so say there...

    Depends on if it's a finished or unfinished basement? When I lived up north, we had a regular door "sealing" off our unfinished basements. I don't think there were any registers in the basement, or if there were, it was only one or two for the whole area. I distinctly remember the sump pump in...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Maybe I was comparing Firebolt and Sacred Flame after all (I wrote firebolt off fairly early, then used mostly guiding bolt mid to late game for filler). For the vast majority of the game, she had the highest AC, so would have her midline, in order to melee and tie up enemies when possible. Once...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Weird, I remember her firebolt having a lower hit chance than guiding bolt, so never used it. Then Sacred Flame rolls against a dex saving throw, so never really used it either, just ran into melee, which she was decent at, when respeced tempest.
