    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Always a solid choice in the beginning. I narrowed it down tonight, I thought, but not really. Played a bunch of Barb, and liked the class, didn't like the mechanics. I think partly was due to lack of experience, and then I didn't really optimize button layout for me. Like HoTA barb, clicking...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I can't decide what class to roll with in S13. Have cool pals to play with, so don't want to go DH, and thought I wanted Necro, but then meteor Wizard was fun AF. Played Crusader and WD last season so was trying to skip those, but I can't decide on the others. Damn it. Gonna come down to making...

    That second bundle has Rise of the Triad, and dang does that bring back some memories. Family had just gotten their first Pentium 75mhz , and that's the game we bought along with it. It was so amazing, and of course as a teenage kid, I thought it was so cool the level of blood and guts in the...

    Fuck AS Rock. I thought they were great, until Windows 10 came out, and the BIOS update nearly bricked my mobo. I got lucky and didn't get all the way through the update, but for many, they were required to order a new chip from AS Rock and sodder it on themselves. In the end they said they...

    In a hotel every week, and I've gotten lazy. I've got accounts on Uber Eats, Doordash, and Grubhub and just order delivery to my room every night for dinner. Door dash has by far the most restaurants in the Seattle area despite Grubhub being around longer. Some good stuff to be delivered!!

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance

    Is there a reason to play it past the story? Skyrim had so much to do in terms of side quests and world exploring that it just kept on going forever. Is there any reason to do that here or is it story and done?

    Civilization VI

    Realized this in recent game, that I had catapults and field cannons attacking a newly settled city, that was super close to all of mine. I couldn't capture it because I didn't have a unit that wasn't ranged? that's my only guess. But I just attacked that shit for a while, and was getting +5 exp...

    Best general purpose laptop for $500?

    This thread has enlightened me to at least one thing. That if you want a general purpose laptop, that can also handle some games, it's not required to spend $1100+ for it. All my buddies bought MSI laptops in that price range and they work great and game great, but the ones linked in this thread...

    Haha, wow, that's the same exact card that I replaced with a 970! Was a great card for about 5 years, before I tried playing something other than WoW or Diablo, and realized how "old" it was. I fell for the hype that 1070's weren't going to be available for a while after launch due to demand...

    Outta warranty? Also, I was seeing on hardware swap that 970s were going for $150-$200. Not a great replacement but could get you by?

    Typically to get bogo you have to sign up on a plan with both phone's. So it's not something you can just throw in a drawer waiting for a rainy day.

    Oh I get that then for sure. When The Division came out and I chugged bad I upgraded to a gtx 970. Because I don't play new games hardly ever i guess I'm stalling having to upgrade.

    I'm still rocking my i5-2500k, and just now seeing a reason to upgrade with the last couple generations. Guess maybe I don't know what I'm missing because I can't imagine why you'd want to upgrade if you had any other newer processor?

    Ban wave!! They haven't done a ban wave in a really long time, at least 3 seasons? So nice to see everyone get hit. Tons of VODS out now of peeps getting banned straight on stream. Pretty funny stuff! After they killed off bots for WoW pretty much, I thought it was silly they weren't doing the...

    Civilization VI

    This all helps. I take the easy approach to civics and techs, since I learned you can click on "Advanced Flight" for example, and it'll auto-queue all the techs in between. I need to pay better attention to the Eurekas and do those.

    Spaceports? It never gets that far. Other Civs win via Cultural every time. Only done like 3 full games, and every time it was a loss due to Cultural loss. Bombers and tanks? never gets that far. I guess that's the issue? End game to me is around turn 300, me and others are around the...

    So as mentioned, I've never played a Civ game before, and so I wasn't sure. Do you guys end up focusing on one way to win or another each game? Like this game I'm gonna try domination, or this game I'm gonna try the culture, or religion, etc? I feel like I'm barely scratching the possibilities...

    Saw the alpha invites going out, so I check this thread for the first time in months, and my name has popped up!! LEgendary!!! Anyway, 18 months on my main, then re-activated back-up account that had lapsed, and got fucked on that one for 6 months. It's like they were waiting for me. SHIT!

    Yea, I'll have to watch some replays to figure out how he deals with that. It seems there is just so much to do, let alone figure out what's going on all around the map. That's my next problem is I don't explore enough. After a few more games, I'm finding that if I load it up and start a game...

    Even later in the day after I had posted that it seemed to fix itself. That was weird. Did the link to the mothership go down or something? that's all I can think of, but the shit works flawless even when I don't have service, so I don't know.

    Humble Monthly I just signed up for this month for Civ 6, and next month is gonna be Dark Souls 3 + DLC. Pretty amazing!! I think part of it is I haven't played single player games much the last 2 years, and so those games are just now hitting things like Humble, so the value for me has sky...

    Some great tips! Some QoL stuff I ended up changing too was skip the animations on movement and combat, and auto go to next turn. Has sped up the games quite a bit.

    Seriously! haha Never mind, figured out it has to due with me not building Campuses in my new cities, as I didn't see a point. And that, and I was completing entire eras before moving on. So how do I advance my Era faster? I'm in the Renaissance era, making knights, and getting attacked by...

    So after my post above, I went and started a new game not in the Tutorial. Picked good ol' Teddy Roosevelt, and I see the appeal now.

    It's ok. Family loves it because they have gluten free pizzas they all go gaga over. I tried out their pizza salad the last time I was there and that was pretty good. Big huge salad on top of their warm crust.

    They are billions

    This game reminds me of Diablo 3 a little in that the map makes such a huge difference. In Diablo 3, at the higher levels of play you have to map "fish" to get a good one to beat. Can't fish for them here, but the wins we get seem to be because of good maps. :)

    I've never played a game like this before. I may have played an old Civ like 20 years ago for a couple hours, but I'm probably getting it mixed up with Age of Empires. So I played through the Tutorial last night, and took a couple hours. Interesting game, but is the ability to micro manage...

    Picked this up with a couple DLC from the Humble Monthly bundle. I think I played a couple hours of a Civ game back 15 years ago, so I'll be a total noob. I know it's not Civ 5, at least that's what I keep hearing, but hope it's pretty fun!

    So I updated to the latest of Win 10, and my performance has gone to shit? I had to update my video drivers, as those were immediately fucked, but I still see bad performance hit in older games like Diablo 3? I tried Googling, but wasn't really seeing an answer. Just the way it is?

    Must of missed it then? The swap from a burrito supreme to the beefy 5 layer was a smart move. I should correct, that they also swapped nachos for the cinnamon twists, but I've asked them to give me nachos multiple times and they always do at no charge.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    No patch kind of makes me sad. That's a huge reason that I get into every season, and certainly change class every season is to try out the new builds. They did a good job this last season by buffing up so many builds, but it would have still been nice to see some new stuff. And, with no...

    I noticed my taco bell had a new crave box. drink, nachos, taco, and cheesy gordita crunch were all the same but instead of a burrito Supreme it was a beefy 5 layer, and the price was $5.39 I believe. I'm so happy!
