Trying to do 1st run on normal difficulty and zero mods, but I've been tempted................... When I do my inevitable replay it's godmode on w/ 7 followers for sure.

What Rajaah said 100% thought Ezio was bullshit when I started AC2 then he was my favorite char a quarter of the way in, and we get (3)! games with him! For a while there AC was a day one purchase / pre-purchase for gameplay alone. Oh how the mighty have fallen, hopefully this new one will be...

Back surgeries 5 & 6 were pain stimulators. The test for #5 went well, the install went well and I was at 0 pain for 2 months of total bliss....then my whole left side pretty much stopped working. We eliminated everything except the stimulator (since multiple MRI's/CT/Xrays showed nothing had...

My $.02, I put off a fusion forever and when I had it , it did jack shit. I also have a very dim view of disc replacement. Dunno where you live, can you get 2/3/4 opinions? I always told peeps to avoid getting cut and embrace the shots. That said in my lifetime I *think* I easily have had...

Not sure what the back and forth with Chuk is about but this movie did flop. I *think* I read this morning it made less that 10 million, I'd google it but I don't care that much. Watched the trailer here and I don't even have the desire to steal it.

Well said I would stop whining until I knew something so I guess here goes. Got 'good'' news today. Grade 2 Oligodendroglioma . They want me to do pill chemo and radiation for 42 odd days and think it's as easy as getting annual checks and not fucking around. I'm good with that. Made my...

I found S1 semi-tough to get through. Because of life, I didn't get HBO until the 2nd season so I watched them out of order. That said, it's really worth sticking with as this is one of the all time great shows. Not really related but I recently (like this week) started 'The West Wing' and WOW...

I read Nvidia = dx11 and I've only ran dx11 on my 3080ti @ 4k ultra w/ zero issues. No crashes at all , I keep the drivers updated, including the recent hotfix this week.

Nah brah , you see the guy he's flame on gay , it's rouge. Lol sorry I triggered you both. I'll run back and give it a try. I'm in the goblin camp trying to find the underdark lair and attempting to close up open items. I went from wtf there is 10000000x things to do, to what now.

I have the vamp as Rouge, shadowheart as cleric, the gith tank, and I am an evil pally, all level 4. That high enough to beat the hag? I got to the vine covered door and chickened out. I'm more worried about her 1 shotting my peeps. Also on that note, what is the best melee weapon for the...

I also read that it could be unofficial / homemade controllers as well. I took it with a giant grain o salt.

I'm still on the fence about doing a main 10 reread #3. The stories are still fresh in my mind and I'm quite enjoying rereading the old Tom Clancy books. It's very interesting regarding what was cutting edge military tech in the 80's vs now. I finished 'Red Storm Rising' then this book, and I've...

Yeah tell me about it, I live an hour outside of Vegas, in the middle of nowhere. Amazon prime is a must have.

Well I was bummed about the cliffhanger ending before you brought up the writers strike...now fuck. Still the best show on TV period (even with the musical episode!) , guess I'll do a rewatch of both seasons.

I finished 'Forge of the High Mage' last night. This is book 4 (of 4) of the path of ascendancy so you would think there would be a conclusion. I previously wrote that book 3 read like bad fan fiction. Well I am happy to report that this read like a genuine adventure! We get to reconnect with...

After multiple tries I finally killed all 3 goblin leaders last night. I didn't realize it was the boss and had the drow caught against a ladder and killed her easy. The guy with 75hp ass raped me a lot until I put everyone on the rafters and pushed him to his doom. The last one rushed me and...

Did you get the GOG version of Arcanum? They usually do Dosbox (IIRC) set for compatibility mode. If you went pure disc, like Burns said you need to research some compatibility modes. Honestly that game engine was barely holding on when it was new and shiny. Also have fun and don't give up...

I wasn't a fan of the musical episode, but there is no way I'm giving up on the show. This show rocks! It's the only reason I'm paying for paramount + atm.

I have the Wyze LIDAR robot vac , we use it on a half carpet, half sheet flooring house weekly with a cat and my long haired wife and it does a good job. I mention long hair as the vac is usually half my wife's hair, half the cats. It usually takes 2 charges to do the house , it stops at 8%...

Loving this game! The polish really shows. My new pally is really kick ass. I have the vampire thief, the geth tank, and that half elf cleric crazy chick so far. That said, are there book(s) I need to catch up on to make this work have some semblance of sense? I'm going with it as hell I...

bought a pair last night, few hours on PC w/ BG3 then a few mins on the PS5 w/ FF16. Pretty comfy so far. Helps with late gaming not keeping my wife awake.

I grew up near an air force base. We lived miles from but directly in front of the flight line. When planes landed they approached low enough I would wave to and get waves back from pilots and you could see the rivets on the planes. Anyhow I'm watching TV one day and something took off that...

I had mine stuck in tactical by accident (think it's O) for a while.

Rolled a bard but I think I'm done with it and I'm not even out of the tutorial. Normal difficulty and I've almost died twice , with 2 followers. I want to beat on people not play a lute. Think I'll try a fallen pally next. I like the idea of a pally but hated having to play as good. Sounds like...

Radiation Oncologist looked at my actual head and wanted me to ask about the healing. I am unconcerned. The 'main' oncologist that is running this shit show did not bring it up , but all she has done to date is refer me to other docs and order 10000000000 tests again. My plan is to get an...

I'm old enough I remember being happy when we traded our pagers for Nextels.

So I called this morning at 9am when they opened and explained the situation. The Dr's receptionist got it 100% completely wrong , so I explained it again. Then I offered to do a VR visit , which I was informed that unfortunately they do not offer. Then I offered to email all the pics I took...

Agree, I think I gave up after the 2nd episode as well.

yeah as usual I 'think' more that I spit out. What I was trying (poorly) to say was sometimes if the story is good enough I'll get a game that I don't necessarily like the gameplay for and cheat my way through it to enjoy the story. Sometimes that gameplay is bad design , or just bugs. ToEE was...

I'm getting 2.9MB/s about half of what I pay for. Not sure if local yokel is throttling , they usually don't or if LA is getting hammered but says 10 hours. Guess I'll FF16 until tonight.

Wife last night thought Lincoln lawyer 2nd half was out. Turns out it's tonight. She said , well we have a date for tomorrow. I reminded her that Wednesday was Baldurs Gate 3 AND NFL hall of fame -who-gives-a-fuck-what-teams-it's-football-game and asked who she's dating.

To me a good RPG is story. If the actual 'game' is hard for whatever reason, grinding can help as long as the story is good. With PC's if you are in a hurry trainers/hex/etc can help compensate with grinding. In BG (2 I think) there is an obvious $$ gate where you need 20K that is an easy fix...

Yeah that was rough. For some stupid ass reason FF on my TV app didn't work for shit and I just turned the volume way down. I hate singing too. My wife was in / out getting ready for work while it was on and giving me some weird looks. Still, this show is WAY better than 99% of the garbage...

You spelled 'get gud fgt ' wrong. :) That's actually exactly what the doc said. And I'm going to call the surgeon tomorrow and get a email address and send them weeks of nightly photos (I take multiple pics nightly to track any issues/slow healing). What I'm NOT doing is stopping because they...

So went to radiology oncology today, they still cannot agree what grade of glioma it is. They *think* it's a grade 2 but it *could* be a grade 4. I have a report marked *final* but apparently it's not the final and I should have the final this Friday from the same place that marked it final...

Thought I remembered a lot about BG1/2, then was inspired by Rajaah to replay them on PS5 and realized ....I didn't remember shit. Except boo and Minsc. Was still worth the replay. I am as ready for BG3 tomorrow as I can be. I'm going get up at 8amPST and set my modem on fire!

Anyone using the pulse 3d headset? Worth $100? I have some dinky plug in over hear earbuds that work but are tinny as all hell.

I also read 122 gigs, 8am PST 8/3 and no preload. It's been a long time since I was excited for a game release.

Me either, on a fluke I went to an old Malazan message board and saw it was listed as 'published'. Currently it's out in UK / Canada but not US yet. I 'found' a copy online. I liked books 1&2, 3 read like very bad fan fiction to me. I hope this one is good. I also wish Erikson had that hot...

Agree, I think I still have one of their cablecard tuners here somewhere. When we still had cable I had a HTPC set up to record 12 channels at once. Thought I was hot shit. Weirdly , some nights my wife still had more shows to record than we had space. Reading Kharzette's 'journal' gives me...
