    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I only played it when EA was first released, but I think they have tooltips and a codex (help) for most everything useful that would go in a manual. Of course, that can make character creation take a long time, but you should be able to see enough pertinent info to make a choice. If you want...

    I live a couple hours from where Dr. Pepper was created (Waco), and I have never seen any of those flavors at Kroger or HEB. Maybe it's because, when I buy soda, I only buy 2L and don't even look at the 12 packs of cans?

    Their core team is still Dutch and I think their humor has a lot to do with their culture, so they will never "get rid" of it. I will withhold judgment until actually playing that game, since people have said that they seriously toned it down after getting feedback for the first Early Access...

    Kraken? They were even in talks to buy a bank in the US, a few years ago, to make transferring money easier. Not sure what became of it.

    The Bear

    Thinking of weird Michelin Star rated restaurants, the "best Sushi in the world" comes from a 10 seat hole in the wall in a Tokyo subway station (3 star Sukiyabashi Jiro). After getting it's stars it became so well known, that they stopped taking public reservations though, causing Michelin to...

    Jagged Alliance 3

    Played a few hours so far and it feels like JA2. Difficulty seems about the same, although maybe the starting enemy is a little weaker. Mercs are powerful, but I tried to take a counter-attack and an enemy tile on at the same time. Around 20 basic enemy zerged the shit out of my 5 mercs and I...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Maybe it depends on the region and the decade; I've had Comcast, Grande, Verizon, Frontier, Nextlink, and Time Warner over the last 20 years, none of which had a data cap. I also want good speeds though, so maybe the shit tier speeds had caps, and I never even looked at them.

    Necro "best" build (Bone Spear) is super squishy too, but necro can fall back onto a couple very tanky/pet tank builds, that just don't clear as fast.

    Either Wolfheart or the Fextralife guy said that you can respec any of the origin characters as soon as respec becomes available. It's looks like you can B-line to the respec guy fairly quickly after the "intro" area, if you know where he is (I don't). It is unknown if respecing an origin...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Hawkeye was better than Loki (by far), Strange 2, Age of Ultron, Ant-man, Thor 2, Captain 1, and probably a plethora of Marvel movies/shows that I did not watch. Before the show, I couldn't care less about Hawkeye and was indifferent to his story.

    Unlike all the other Silent Storm engine attempts, this looks like they may have actually captured the JA2 experience, with updated graphics. I haven't seen any reviewers say they hit bugs.

    Napoleon (2023)

    Remember when the History channel would actually show history programs (and re-show them before historically based moves were release)? Pentridge Farm remembers. Here is one such program from the 90s, if you want some knowledge of his first years of taking power, to see how accurate the movie...

    Didn't think about this when I first read it, but cutting and sanding 12+ doors is going to put a lot of lead dust in the air. Anyone worked with removing lead paint? May want to see if there is some optimal way to get it off the door without putting a ton of it the air, all over your...

    Since around the time of Dragon Age: Origin (maybe earlier), RPGs have been on the long side of development time. Five years seems to be semi common, but most of the time the projects aren't even announced until internal estimates put it a year or two out from release. I think the original...

    You may still be able to collect Helltide currency in WT3, then port to town, change to WT4, then run to the chest and open it for better loots. Is it worth the trouble,? Depends on the person, I guess.

    AFAIK, it's always been $59.99 since they didn't do Kickstarter with this game, unlike DoS 1/2, which had the various prices for kickstarter tiers. Edit: ...or did they kickstart DoS 1, then just discount DoS 2 because they put it in EA, and since DoS 1 was discounted during EA, they did it...

    For that price, it's most likely in a shit (high crime) area of town. I have never seen a house that size and that cheap, in Texas, that wasn't in the hood. The new fence on the left makes me think it may be in early stages of gentrification though. Also, those tiny houses are nothing "new,"...

    Napoleon (2023)

    If anyone wants to know what happened after Napoleon's main defeat (before his first exile). This might be in the movie, but I doubt it will cover much of it, since they already have almost 25 years of very eventful history to cover, in a single movie. Everything about the Russian Tsar is hilarious:

    I love me some NIN and that song, but the fuckers on the show thru a bit of a curveball with that one. Took me way too long to figure it out because they start in the middle of the song. It's the version from the album And All That Could Have Been (2002) CD2 (still):

    Chad Moore is the game director. I don't recognize his name, but it says he was a lead artist and designer at Troika. Jason Anderson is also back at inXile and he was one of the Troika founders. I don't know his job title, as they don't have it listed on their website, nor is there a wiki page...

    Clockwork Revolution (inXile)

    I read the story from the game director and didn't even watch the trailer. He worked on both V:TM and Arcanum, so if he is really trying to make a V:TM game in a Arcanum world, then it should be a good game. It's too early to tell though. I didn't like Numenera or Bard's Tale 4, but Wasteland...

    That would be a funny joke in itself, if, when you pick the vampire to play, you are forced to sex all the peoples, so you can suck... their blood. Only the player character can do the romance shit, so if you dont want to sex all the people, you dont play the vamp!

    Edit (from DoS 2 wiki): "In order to develop the game, the studio expanded from 40 people to a team of 130, and from one studio in Belgium to four international studios." They scaled up their team a bit for DoS 2, but 130 people still seems pretty small compared to what they have now. I doubt...

    If I was being generous I would say something got lost in translation, but that 170ish hours of "cinematics" number is including when characters are "locked" in dialog. So as soon as you start to talk to a dude, they start the timer, then count the whole back and forth with the party. They...

    Like any audio set up, the theater should have an equalizer that the audio passes though before it gets pushed to the amps, then the speakers. Obviously, it's more complicated, due to probably having 10+ speakers that need to be set up on the various channels. I would assume that setting the EQ...
