    Helldivers II

    I just wanted to revisit this to say that since I noticed they had turned crossplay back on during an update and I fixed it, my gameplay has improved significantly. None of the trolls and problems that I experienced the day or two prior. So... yeah. PC Master race and all that. On another...

    Helldivers II

    Have you all been encountering more griefing and team killing recently? I have had people melee me off objectives when I was entering the codes. I had a dude die, and I picked the samples he dropped only to have him shotgun me in the back once he was back in game to grab the stuff off me. I...

    So, for crafting and stats transfering the the crafted equipment.... Each piece of equipment only has certain stats available. For instance, you can't get stamina stats on a weapon iirc. So if you put stamina materials into your weapon its wasted. Part of the crafting system is learning what...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    Commodities are set up as a trading game. They have designed markets such that some areas/cultures make stuff so its cheap to buy sell, and other areas don't have it so will pay more. Its an attempt to make it so people can play merchants and if you look at some of the voice options I believe...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    I am fully on board with Ubisoft eating a bowl of dicks, but Paul Tassi's article is also pretty much just vapid shit. He complains the game costs too much and will have microtransactions and that it is called a 'complete game' but is a live service that will have updates and expansions. That...

    Skull and Bones - Feb 16th 2024 Release Date

    It is a holy trinity MMO hidden behind a pirate skin. Its not bad, but not great either. If you think of it like your normal fantasy MMO mechanics it all makes more sense. You spawn in as your boat, eventually skilling it up to picking a 'class' of DPS, healing, or tank based on the type of...

    DOTA 2

    Watching GG vs Azure last night with ODPixel casting was prolly the first game I've watched where I felt like it was exciting. Pretty certain the caster had something to do with it, but it was nice to see a quick, push your shit in and win the game strat instead of the long grindy slugfest of...

    DOTA 2

    I like Sheever and have watched her play and stream. She really has grinded it out and learned the game and players, even if she personally isn't skilled she understands whats going on. Something else I realized after reading your post and watching some of today's stream is the casting and...

    DOTA 2

    Couple of things. As a pub player, patch feels really bad to play in for me and I hear a lot of other people complaining about it as well. Very brawly, and really not well balanced feeling. There has been changes to a lot of items (BKB for one) that changes the way the game plays. There are...

    DOTA 2

    Passes used to have cosmetics and voice lines and shit you could unlock and keep that were pretty baller. This year there have 'gone in a new direction' and there are no permanent voice lines or cosmetics. Just some fantasy football prediction type shit and some 'win with this pro players...

    So yeah. Gonna be that guy. In the game, the characters are not bisexual. There is no sexual relationship at all. Japan apparently understands people can be friends without fucking, unlike Hollywood writers and all the degenerates in the West. Now the community? Yeah. It has its...

    The Last of Us

    Its interesting listening to this. Its off topic, but I'll throw in a few things for your enjoyment. I know of a JRTC training rotation where the OPFOR there was training what I believe were Filipino soldiers. They did the usual ambush techniques and American reaction most always was to...

    Fake People: CGI/AI IPs for hire

    This is sorta interesting from an IP perspective. Hololive is one of the JP Vtuber agencies, and all of their characters and models are owned by the agency, not the actual voice talent behind them. One of them, KiryuCoco who apparently was the most popular was of mixed American and Japanese...

    I am suspicious of Barnes as well, as Barnes really seems to love himself some Barnes, but he does seem devoted to winning. Which makes sense when you want to tell everyone how great you are. Being a known loser hampers bragging about how great you are. What worries me though is if this kid...

    The concern was less about the money. As others have said, if he gets a fair jury he will get an acquittal. But when you dump your jury research and selection team prior to jury selection and just go it alone. Well. It didn't work well for Chauvin and the concern is, especially after hearing...

    Any of you following this currently? Apparently there are some shenanigans around the defense team and finances.

    Spring 2021 Anime Thread

    I would say its less they skipped stuff, and more the books are written in a very out of order, not linear timeline. It is easier to follow in the books, cause they are long form and the jumps are less drastic, but it is working at least 4 different time periods simultaneously, but not telling...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I've had this as well on a slightly newer computer, as well as a loud almost feedback sound on scene transitions etc. It seems like the game needed a little more time in the oven. Its not bad, but yeah. My other favorite bug was I had a camp where none of the NPCs were rendered. It wasn't a...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    If you need to, just drop the world level and push through it to finish the story. Call it sunk cost fallacy. I did, I was like, fuck I'm this far in. Are we really doing this? And yeah, yeah we did. But... story shitting itself aside, I still enjoy the trickster/ me3 vanguard style...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    So I bought this game this weekend after playing the Demo, and I really enjoyed the demo. Writing was tropey but servicable enough to move the plot along. Breaking the game with some dumb weapon combos and builds was fun. So, I put down my money. I think I regret it. Game was ok, but the...

    Crusader Kings 3

    So, the game is wonky but empire building is possible. Though in this play through I think I've hit the peak of my arc for awhile. I started in the 960 years, and being a tribe is very tough to build up a large empire. Being tribal and Asatru religion makes it so you can't really upgrade your...

    The Last of Us

    Think of all the people in the world? Then, how many messages did she show? How many did she get. All it takes is 1% to be retarded and dumb, and she'd have messages coming in. I mean these people are stupid and should be shamed, but when you are out there for the entire world to comment...

    It has been for quite a while. Its not fair, its not egalitarian, but this has been the case for quite some time. Especially if it can be shown that she was incapacitated and he wasn't. This is what has led to college men accusing women of sexual assault first in some of the college assault...

    The Last of Us 2 has collectible 'Super Hero' trading cards that you can collect hidden around the game. One of them is 'Dr. Uckman." Whose stats are listed as '100 brains' and '60 brawn' and his affiliation is the 'New Dogs'. What else is interesting, is supposedly he has referred to the...

    If I remember correctly, the story is the 'primary leaker' isn't associated with Naughty Dog. I think we'll find that is true in word, not in spirit. That a developer or something contacted a third party to put the leaks out there and didn't personally post it on the internet. This will...
