    Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children

    Was thinking of playing this a couple days ago too, but with JA3 this week, then BG 3 at the end of the month, I didn't want to be burnt out on turn based games by trying to play 3 in a row.

    Unless they have a few hidden companions, that looks right. There is also the fully customizable The Hunger The Dark Urge Origin (Slug) which will have a story, just like the other companions, but can only be applied to the main character, which kinda sorta counts? Mort did a 15 min highlight...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Here is a list of both AMD and Nvidia sponsored games (I counted both Uncharted and TLOU1 but they are old games getting ported, so possibly different rules). Edit: I also counted Halo, and shouldn't have, so 3/11, not counting WoW and Halo, or 1/11 not counting old games getting a port?

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    The deal was announced over a week ago and the official statement from Bethesda on DLSS is still "no comment at this time." Only 3 of the last 12 AMD sponsored games have supported DLSS. So, it's an easy assumption to make. Doesn't much matter to me, unless I buy a new GFX card before then...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Best I can tell is it's to keep the streamers/youtubers playing, because they know they will get a ton more clicks if they get one to drop, which gives Bliz free publicity and a Twitch metric on game hours streamed, or whatever they do over there.

    Don't want to watch the whole 4 hour presentation to avoid spoilers, but found this part. It's the sex scene with the druid. Which we all knew they were going to put these cheesy sex scenes in the game for the crowd that goes for that shit. Also, they added a player only origin that is 100%...

    Looks like some of that "famous" Larian humor. Supposedly they turned down their humor to be in line with the more serious BG tone, but it's going to poke through here and there. Without the context of the rest of the show, I would give it a 50/50 chance of being in the game as is.

    Flash floods in Spain yesterday carry cars off on busy streets (warning: unneeded music added on top of video, but it's the only one I could find of this particular video) Edit: Found raw videos w/o the added music from the twitter video (the twitter video has an extra scene at the end, of a...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    If you loved DoS, then yea, probably. The rules are more ridged, but the engine is the same, it has a somewhat similar design philosophy, the "main" set of characters have a very in depth set of quests/reactivity, and (I think) they 100% carried over the reactivity of elements, like fire ignites...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    I didn't realize anyone outside of some mobile plans had data caps anymore, so that makes sense. Also, I can see it for old cartoons/anime or old shows/movies where no one has bothered to apply new encoding tech, but x265 rips are getting pretty small for 1080p... just in time 4k to swoop in...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    What the fuck you talkin bout? Let me quote myself: "If it's released in 1080 and 4k today to rent, then that 1080 and 4k will be on pirate sites within 24 hours." Not that I have seen it take 24 hours, usually it's 3 or 4 hours, at most.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Of course, there is a whole slew of people that want "walkable" cities, where your only options are to bicycle (until it's stolen), wait for the bus (until you get mugged), or wait for the train (until you get stabbed):

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Guess this has gotten some people upset: Beth signed with AMD, so no official DLSS for this title (probably). Just payed over $1000 for a new card? Well, Todd said you can get fucked! Good news is, a modder, who has added it to other games, said he will be able to add support for it...

    No shit it's on the net, are you the worst pirate in the nation? If it's released in 1080 and 4k today to rent, then that 1080 and 4k will be on pirate sites within 24 hours. Who watches shit in 720 these days, and why? The difference in release times is usually just a couple hours and the size...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    It's released to rent on various streaming platforms today, so why bother with a 720 when there will be a 1080 and 4k by then end of the day. Also, it's not a screener, since screeners are DvD copies given to Award judges and various other people. Dad used to know a industry lawyer (I think)...

    Hot Ones

    Cholula is the best tasting pepper sauce I have had, but it's not all that hot and a bit over priced. I would often see the Mexicans, at the meat market, buying Valentina pepper sauce, so gave it a try. It's almost as good as Cholula, plus they make an Extra Hot version. Dunno about actually...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    From what I remember of the Maxroll guide: I started upgrading as soon as I got to WT3 after completing the campaign at around 51. Taking off and applying aspects is cheap enough once Legos start dropping regularly in WT3. Be aware, you can only take off and apply the aspect once, so if you get...

    You can use Toybox to remove the tediousness of prebuffing all the time too, if you want. Give all your casters the 2 abilities that make all buffs over 5 min last 24h. Then all you have left is the short in-battle buffs, like haste, to worry about. I'm pretty sure you know, but for anyone who...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yea, the snare part of chill is certainly underwhelming but anything (elites) that lived very long would freeze fairly quickly, when I had blizzard mages and black pool corpse explosions while using that weapon. I guess the mage blizzard slow kinda/maybe helped when running from elite pack to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    It still triggers the 2-5 resources on CC lego and I think it helps freeze things faster if you have the skelly mages with blizzard lego. I was able to remove the builder from my bar, as soon as I got it.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I tried to split the attack/move/interact as well, so I could learn to hitch step, but it was rather annoying and didn't seem to help me. So I went back to holding down left shift to root in place/disable move, which forces you to spam fire whichever skill is bound to left mouse button (if you...

    On my first one and a half play throughs of Wrath, I did the Army management as intended, and it wasn't terrible, there was just too much of it (and it gets old, fast). Once you clear the map that you can access in chapter 3, you can pretty much forget about it for a while (shouldn't need to...

    Solasta: Crown of the Magister - DnD 5e - I thought it was a little short, but they have 3 DLCs now, for more content. Tyranny - house rules DnD like - You start off as the bad guy. The first 3/4 of the game is great, but the ending was rushed. It didn't sell well, so didn't get much love after...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I used to drive with the windows down in 90 to 100 degree weather when going to and from the gym, after practice/playing HS sports, or when I was doing various jobs in my teens and 20s (like warehouse work/deliveries or grass mowing). It was mostly to keep my car from smelling like a locker...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It will have the same problem Disc has had since Cata (?), in that they can never balance it correctly. They will probably make it OP to start, to get people playing it, then rug pull it for next xpac, as is tradition. After that it will see-saw between being good and shit, depending on raid...

    Warfedale makes some beautiful speakers but I'm not sure my ears would be good enough to appreciate them. I've thought about trying to copy the bookshelf enclosure (box) design with one of the Carmody speaker setups in it, but it would cost $150-200 in mats and an unknown amount of time to cut...

    Depends on the year, but they were never close to Endangered status. One report says that overall there has been a 30% decrease in hives since 1989...maybe.

    Never had that happen before with speakers, so looked it up. Found a thread on AVS that was decent, but I don't know how applicable, since Klipsch is a high quality speaker already. There were recommendations for trying soft dome tweeters, but it looks like it's all going to come down to demoing...

    The Witcher

    He left before WH40k panned out. It was officially due to Superman needing him, which was right before Gunn came in and fired him along with most of the other Snyder DC actors. The "rumors" are that he quit Witcher because he couldn't stand working with the writers & showrunner any longer. There...
