    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Read a comment that stuck with me about Classic and Classic+ the other day. You're not in a rush with Classic. That's the appeal. Nothing is compelling you to login and do your wizard chores for precious engagement metrics and worse actually fall behind in gameplay where you can't actually...

    Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon (FromSoftware)

    Lol watching Asmongold PVP on twitch for like 10 minutes. He literally ONLY uses the tank tread setup and did for most of the campaign as well.

    I've become a big fan of this btw y'all. If only they integrated it into VSCode directly I would be happier. https://www.warp.dev/ Finally retired my tried and true iTerm2.

    $2500 is about as high as you can hope for in the Austin area for that house. As far as I could tell.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    This particular issue is a Larian one that is present in both DOS1 and DOS2. They put everything into sprawling maps that sometimes don't really make sense and give the player a weakened sense of scale. Like if you go to the Sunlit Wetlands/Fetid Bog, which is right next to the Nautiloid crash...

    I would just straight up say "bro, wtf do you expect me to do with this? I'm a C developer and I haven't touched Javascript in 10 years or more."

    I'm in trouble boys. For 2+ years now I've been using the DBT Core level offering. Just a package install like Java SDK. I have my entire team using it and we build all of our stuff through it now. Really excellent tool btw do recommend. However, one small little detail is that I made a...

    I bought a house within Austin city limits in 2015 for $180k. 1500 SQFT, 3/2. That same house is $450k and I rent it out for $2200 a month.

    Can you imagine a world where you buy a house for $45k while working at Best Buy? Wouldn't that be crazy?

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The short races don't have enough advantages to make up for the ball crushing 7.5M movement speed in the early game. Especially on tactician where that really matters. Of course its doable it just suuuucks.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Absolutely. Inability to respec easily because of "lol game narrative" gets in the way of games being fun. Which should be the priority.

    I had thought only 20 of those items exist on any particular run? Yes you can absolutely come across like 10 of them without doing anything fancy. I know I did.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I get the overwhelming part and the plethora of weapons part. Most builds lock you out of using various "classes" of weapons and items. Yes it is somewhat old school in that your build is more or less locked in after a certain point. You can fuck around enough without any guides or anything and...

    Re-homing my PC into a new case this weekend. I am this time putting an emphasis on quiet and heatflow. I've had the same case for 13 years and its just a big green thing. It has served me well but my fans are also ancient. My PSU is 13 years old too. Going with Be-Quiet case, new PSU and fans...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Most of these "Super OP builds" are from faggots who seem to long rest after every single encounter so they can continuously drop their combo in every single fight. Which is much worse than even save scumming. Peak faggotry. This particular one requires you to just metamagic/sorcery points each...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I will add that, while BG2 had but didn't use it in the base game, 5E would very much benefit from higher level complexity of Spell Contingency, Sequence, and so on. Gives the game design room to breathe in higher level encounters as you don't just have earthshattering spell drops on everything...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Well the bad marks for this game are (when compared to Baldur's Gate 1/2/TOB): Insufficient spread of companions. While the ones you get are mostly well done it is very clear they spent much more time on Astarion and Shadowheart compared to others. Lack of class spread is of course supplemented...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Well logically, since these companies buy X QTY of Starfield or some other shit. The seller does not care what happens to it after that. If you buy 100 copies and 95 make it to the store this is not yet enough to trigger an enterprise like Target's red flags on shrinkage, as they have acturial...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Seems pretty easy narratively to me. Don't give him his armor or there's something wrong with it so he can't wear it. Old boy got separated from the Space Wolves chapter due to some Chaos teleporting nonsense. Drastically reducing his overall power but he is still an 8 foot superhuman combat expert.

    Well they've been in the dumps before back in the 70s. The 80s to 90s were a Renaissance for Disney. Odds are leadership that likes money will eventually take the helm again.

    Sure, but the relative cost of a house is much higher than back in 1980. My dad paid like $25k in 1982 USD for our childhood home. My grandparents paid $175k ($650k in 2023) for land and a completely custom home build in like 1975. $25k in 1980 is like $93k today in 2023 dollars. You ain't...

    Pathfinder Sneak Attack with higher level feats (like no range attack limitations) was like straight up firing cruise missiles. Absolutely blew up anything. Arcane Archer being especially egregious.
