Elden Ring is a huge game, but it's hard to call it tedious. I'm guessing you're looking for a different word.

We ended up getting the TickTalk4 TickTalk 4 It's OK. As a device it's great and has worked very well so far. It has a huge limitation though since it doesn't have true SMS compatibility. Anyone who texts with my son has to have their dumbass app, which severely limits the utility of the...

Like Gavin said, unless they truly ignored a kid in a time of real crisis, it's hard to be that judgemental. Going further and making a bunch of assumptions that might be bullshit, if they are 85 years old they are a depression era generation. They optimized their life because they thought...

Yeah, it sounded like the tilesets they used in Daggerfall and Arena from the early 90s.

If this movie consisted of like, a dozen 5 minute shorts showing a day in the life of elementals living in a metropolis I think I would've enjoyed it more. I loved the world building, art and scenes just showing this kind of wacky alternate reality. The actual plot felt kinda flat, and the core...

I'd actually respect Larian a bit more if they just cut the game short instead of letting you lose. Even if they had a really short epilogue version of whatever you normally get.

It's crazy that 16 years after Mass Effect 1 and 20 years after Freelancer, we're finally getting the first space exploration shooter/space combat sim RPG.

In 2023 I think the most interesting randomized content is still what was created by one Notch in a garage with Java in Minecraft, though the whole crafting system is based on finding biome-specific materials that starts to lose interest once you explore the biomes. Would be very cool if they...

Join the party. BGS has been polishing this at Microsoft's direction for over a year now. It's guaranteed to be a complete gaming experience.

I've never looked into the stats that make up warhammer figurine gameplay, what are some links to typical stats for these archetypes? Actually, I can't even read this shit and don't know why i bothered asking what the relative on paper power levels are...

This sounds like bullshit. https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/25/22372077/amd-starfield-dlss-fsr-exclusive-frank-azor

I bet it's like any other huge corp where there is a range from the super advanced facilities to the low-tech dilapidated facilities.

New expansion announcement, Space Age https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-373 Pretty cool that Earendel made both the modded version of this and participated in the real one.

Yeah as much effort as Amazon or anywhere else put into loss prevention (let alone stopping their employees from running small drug rings...) there's workers getting the beaks wet constantly and always will. You just can't track everything perfectly and when product goes missing you can't just...

vid cut to the fire

Can't speak to EQ/UO in 1999, but yeah I remember voice chatting in games in 1999 with Roger Wilco, Gamespy etc. Back in '99 my counterstrike clan had 2 practices a week, 2 matches a week. We spent hours trying to get every edge we could in gaming so you bet your ass we were voicechatting...

Whether it's BG3's bear fucking or a funny leak story I have to imagine that any funny news around a major game release that isn't negative is a godsend to their marketing. There's a horde of gamers hungry for the game and will push any news story that happens, so better they get distracted by a...

Telling me I can casually play a PvP MMO is like telling a recovered meth addict they can just take a hit at parties. I only feel alive when it's 72 hours after a release and I've only slept when the server was down. I'm either winning the game by ruining the server through destruction of all...

I remember using maybe Roger Wilco (software) - Wikipedia ??? back in Shadowbane beta. This was with PRX, Covenant of Swords etc. I'm pretty sure all the top forces used some form of VOIP. Shit I remember voice-chat being the primary communication in my CounterStrike crew back in CStrike beta...

split from investing general discussion thread. As a layman on the topic and someone who lives in an area not likely impacted, I'd be 100% for a federal program to build housing if it moved people out of cities and areas with housing issues. For a lot of market sectors the advent of...

The war Amazon is waging to staff the lowest-paid people possible while avoiding loss from hiring the lowest-paid people possible is pure late-stage capitalism at its finest. It's what I think of when I buy a $20 good on Amazon and free next-day delivery is an option.

Maybe in 14 years when my youngest goes to college

I never played it but at a high-level Crowfall was still my favorite PvP MMO idea. Embracing cyclic starts that terminate in world domination in a game with genuinely fun gameplay is the way.

I wonder what big distributors like Amazon, FedEx etc do to automatically parse ebay / Mercari stores for goods and sync it with recent losses. Gotta imagine anyone working at a factory trying to skim off the top will be too stupid to sample randomly enough to avoid detection.

Yeah but how are you going to encourage men to purchase $200 plastic dolls if they don't have beach ball shoulder pads?

I would've preferred the Astartes weren't prominent and were instead brought in as a story piece to btfo whatever whenever they show up, but there's a lot of things they could do to balance it, from making the other characters superheroes to making him an intermittent hero to making him a broken...

What's the closest mmo to shadowbane on the horizon in the next 2ish years?

I think this is a pretty common ruse to explain away any production implements you might see even if they try to hide it. Mics, cameras, producers, a bunch of random staff that don't belong. If anyone ever tells you they're filming a documentary, watch out, lol.

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of depraved crap people coerce Llama to generate, which can be installed locally and is open-source. I don't know if there's a "Degeneracy" slider for people to create dumb fan-fiction or if it'd require a massive amount of training. I remember the stories...

also lol I never knew about this cause I'm sheltered

I don't think anyone at DPG cares about the cheese caused by FTE mechanics. There's no doubt the design drops the difficulty of the game, so who cares if players can drops it a bit further than intended by cheesing encounters.

Beth games are the Golden Corral of gaming. The food isn't all that great, you'll probably get dysentery from it, but damn if there isn't a lot of it and in any variety you want. Plus you can bring a hotplate and a cast iron and mod the food where needed. Sometimes that prime rib that's been...
