Technically wasteland 2 was shock full of references and throwbacks to wasteland 1, the whole story was built on the original main campaign. it's like playing baldur's gate 2 without playing baldur's gate 1. but wasteland 1 is really dated and an absolute pain to play through, so in this case I...

Yes, celestial fury is the katana to use for most of BG2 its a fairly difficult fight to get it though. After celestial comes Hindos doom. But really, katanas arent part of the top tier weapons and rare to find. Overall weapon+shield style loses in effectiveness at higher levels and I think most...

Dude, I assumed this gaming odyssey was going to make you appreciate the beauty of old video games, not praise the terrible modern woke add-ons to them.

All you need is a couple of potions of mirrored eyes bro

I would say Temple of Elemental Evil is OK, but not particularly great. Just felt sorta limited and stale, even though it had all the basics of a BG-style game. Should be at the bottom of your list.

Well, they do have him chilling at a couple of locations, like at the volcano, kinda briefly mentioning in the text that "oh he's there, not sure what he's doing there, but seems to be waiting, but you should hurry and try to catch him"

computers were made for heavy calculations in research, not for wasting energy and resources on your silly games and storing your stupid images! phones were made for talking, not for taking your stupid photos!

Ordinals has been a huge boost for bitcoin in an otherwise bear market, tons of people who would never have touched on-chain bitcoin have been onboarded and prepared to leave Eth and acknowledge the rule of bitcoin. Big brand NFT studios are moving on to on-chain bitcoin bringing millions in...

In terms of gameplay mechanics, sure it's a step above pillars 1. The DLCs connect nicely into the story, the myriads of different play modes, challenges, the Mega bosses, the playing around and stretching the game mechanics to their limits in different fights is very nice, don't get me wrong...

dynaheir and khalid have pretty terrible stats and khalid's ridiculous panic mode that comes into play every now and then, but I played with them when I wanted a canon playthrough. Khalid becomes OK-ish once he gets the ogre strength gauntlets as he's a pure fighter. Anomen is actually pretty...

Ordinals saved bitcoin. Eths big advantage was NFTs and smart contracts, this difference is fading and fast, now.

that's a pretty spellcaster heavy party.

so they re-instated the jerry seinfeld AI stream but of course it is now lobotomized

Planescape, it's not great from a mechanics and graphics perspective, although also similar to the BGs etc. but the storyline and writing is just in a different league compared to all the other games. I think only Pillars 1 has a similar philosophically angled type of storyline

solid list. I think most people view tides of numenera as kind of meh, and pillars 2 as a step down from pillars 1. I suggest going Icewind Dale 1 and 2 after BG1 and 2, as those are the most similar on that list. I would say the Divinity games are a step up compared to Neverwinter nights...

so far my experience is that NWN enhanced edition is very similar to vanilla NWN in terms of quests, visuals etc. but why bother with a paper guide when there's all that info and more on various websites?

Nah just started out better. By the end it was worse, a woke mess

True detective has just gotten progressively worse the further from season 1 it got. Not high hopes for season 4. Episode 1 was of course never going to have some kind of sudden sci fi/fantasy twist. It was great suspense by playing on those undertones combined with solid dialogue and acting.

Include the sentence in the jailbreak instructions for it to take on the dan role

Again, why include the sentence for it to determine whether it knows something or not if the point is moot?

They include the sentence "if you dont know the answer dont inform me, just make something up" when they could just write "if you dont know the answer, inform me"

"Durrrrr... wut mean you give instructions to machine man on how to act?"

Why do the dan jailbreaks always include the clause "to make something up if you don't know"? why not just have dan be a free-willed persona but to still notify if they can't find out/don't know?

Seems one of the big new narratives coming are the ordinals on bitcoin chain. Basically bitcoin native NFTs that are more integrated to the actual chain than regular eth/polygon/whatever NFTs.

why does the guy mispronounce "domestic abuse" as "household harm" consistently? regardless, rick and morty has been dead since about season 3.

interesting that the person who's screeching about regulation for crypto in the crypto thread is suddenly trying to boomer shame and socialist shame people calling for protecting kids from predatory marketing.

I dunno about objectively better. Especially on the crpg front… long intricate crpgs seem far longer in between these days, they are all filled with woke sjw crap and all these low effort flash animations instead of the nicer rendered 3d animations of old.

Regulated crypto is an oxymoron, its just tradfi with extra hoops.

Woljif is designed in the same way

They're gonna trash Minsc too? god damn this is bad. if mercer had any love for the franchise he would have laughed in their face when they suggested to include Minsc.
