    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Nah, it's a great model. The developers get a chance to stress their system while filching hardcore fans of some $$$ and any release issues get ironed out for the people most willing to deal with the bugs instead of the unwashed masses. For most games I could give a shit about premium and early...

    Yeah I definitely don't need more mobs unless Larian finds a way to "fast-roll" the results to have more NPCs taking simultaneous actions. I've been thinking about what an "Insane" or "Legacy of Bhaal" mode or Sword Coast Strategems type mod could be in BG3 and it'd definitely either be...

    These all seem like questions that could be reasonably answered within the context of a goliath sorcerer and with answers colored by his race that would be different than a half-elf sorcerer with similar intelligence. It could be that he's tactically an int5 dumbass but at a young age was...

    I like how Wired makes low quality regurgitation of articles about reddit posts, doesn't link the original reddit post (from what I can tell) and has the audacity to paywall it. This cracks me up. I roll my eyes when people crack out their phones to take pics of moons or fireworks or...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's funny that I can't find any "gaming journalist" that did a deep dive on what % of the last 100 million were crowdsourced contributions, what is private backing from investors and what are pure bullshit figures. Gaming journalists are probably too busy trying to increase engagement with...

    I'm about 80% sure you're capping and are assuming way too much integration of Microsoft's broad array of technology with literally a subsidiary (BGS) of a subsidiary (zenimax) of a subsidiary (xbox game studios).

    re: builds and meta play, I switched to tactician somewhere in the second act but soon in the third act the game got pretty easy. I facerolled most of the third act, just blindly charging in and wasting everything. There was basically nothing that could stand against a twincast-haste from a sorc...

    Yeah, having played through multiple BG1/2 playthroughs with all the Tactics, Sword Coast Strategems mods, the Concentration mechanic is an A++++ limitation.

    I think it's less about romance and more about liking the lore concept of a superbeing turned into a living weapon that is now filled with anger at their torturers. It helped that she was the other half of my wombo combo in ME2, using her psycher yeet to launch enemies into the air for my sniper...

    Yeah this doesn't sound like what Mr. Booty was talking about. Some AI that uses a deep learning network of some kind to learn how to play and then being fed a bunch of savepoints and immediate goals would be interesting. I haven't seen anyone talk about testing games like this.

    Is there anything you've seen that indicates that BGS is using this? There's a lot of AI chaffe over the last year.

    I think I've bought stuff with cash maybe a dozen times since my kids were born. My eight year old has been earning "quarters" for a few years now that they largely spend under my supervision (ex: when I drive to the pet store to buy crickets for whatever varmint he's caught.,..), but my plan is...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I really love how BG3 makes respecs very inexpensive (100 gold, I've earned around 40,000 gold in a playthrough) and unlimited. I wish that was the standard in gaming. I didn't use all my respecs in Elden Ring and probably would've respec'd more if I had unlimited respecs, and enjoyed the game...

    How feasible is it to split the ownership such that my kid can use the watch and I don't risk him being able to access any sensitive info (Ex: my emails, my dick pics, random websites he googles, etc) , and my phone doesn't get blown up when he's spamming his buddies?
