    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I don't know if anyone here actually plays SC, but how is the shooting or ground combat gameplay?

    Controller Thread - for PC and/or console

    Now that I've got some runtime with it, I'm really liking the 8Bitdo Ultimate. Having buttons on the back has removed any need to swap my thumb from the right control stick to the right facebuttons, which makes it much more comfortable for me.

    https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-381 this is pretty wild. I always kinda thought of the upcoming Space Expansion as being a subset of the Space Exploration mod, but much of this are new concepts that would fundamentally enhance the Space Exploration mod, making me wonder about a future...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    After hearing that SQ42's release is just around the corner, I did an emergency withdraw of my 401k account and invested in an armada of boats. I'm hoping to play this by Christmas.

    Cities Skylines II

    3080? For a city builder? Does this run like an asthmatic hi... ooohh Yeah my favorite thing to do in city builders is to create the absolute biggest city possible. Not going to bother if it's just a steady march to low FPS.

    By Act 3 I took Alert on all my characters, even my barbs with very high initiative. It's just too critical to go before any big bads.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It'd be feasible to add a harderer mode. You'd just need to use the power of action economy. And by that I mean, yeet out a bunch of extra mobs for a bunch of encounters and increase the stats/levels for enemies across the board. Especially initiative. BG3 on hard-mode is notably easy...

    A harder difficulty mode is definitely a requirement for a future, DLC-bolstered playthrough of BG3 for me.

    Ordered 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGWTTC3L last night to play Smash Ultimate. I have the pro controller but needed another to play with my kids. I got this one because it has two buttons on the back of the controller. One thing about controllers that is crazy to...

    ok, I'm with you so far If I get a wand of sleep and use it to make a mob unable to use their actions, does that change the action economy?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The disconnect is literally everyone in this conversation has proposed a different definition of Action Economy. Game on brothers, I'll stop shitting this thread up. Anytime someone proposes what good action economy is, I'll just ask them what their definition of Action Economy is before...

    Action Economy is a dumb phrase, so I don't blame the community for having homebrew definitions.
  20. Tuco

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Pick one, brother. I don't think action economy being solely action count is consistent with the definitions I read. But if it is, in BG3, total action count is only one of several factors in party lethality. See: My two barbarians one-actioning mobs that do jack and shit for damage. In BG3...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I saw and heard the phrase "action economy" a lot when I was playing and reading BG3 and I still don't understand what the phrase "action economy" means and how it differs from words like power or lethality. ex: If you add the missing item of "reduce the number of actions of enemies" it just...

    I left it on. I like it as a concept. The issue of it making swarms of low level mobs more threatening was never a big deal because there just aren't a lot of those encounters.

    It's trivial to find a group. ...... If you've got a built up social network and 2 or 3 boxes you can bring to bear. It's basically impossible to roll a new character, advertise LFG and get anywhere. Unless you've got some buddies to carry you I'd say that if you're not willing to 3 box, play...

    If they make it such that any non-class specific gear is retained, that'd be great. My 8 visible and class-specific gear slots + weapon can be replaced more easily than all 22 or whatever gear slots. Will be funny to effectively have multiple box groups with the same chars. This is what I've...

    Me after getting caught up on all my book series and trying to decide the next series I'm going to read. Anyway, I'm reading Awaken Online.

    That's the theory, yeah. Alternatively if it's a shroud 2.0 thing where I can make my warrior a "shadowknight" with like, 10 spells but unique gear I can upgrade, that'd be a total waste of time probably.
