    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Karlach is a golden retriever in the body of a giant devil woman. She was dealt the worst hand of any companion before the game starts and suffers throughout into a tragic ending. Despite that, she wags her tail any chance she gets and doesn't mind giving a male Tav the orgasm of a lifetime.

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    For players on a persistent multiplayer server, do pals work correctly after you log off, or do they still immediately spiral into starvation and depression?

    I just checked my ass for made up statistics. People who romanced Karlach are 320% more likely to be in healthy relationships than people who romance any other character.

    I'm thinking about getting a new PC and am intrigued by https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d.html , anyone have a compelling reason not to go that route for a PC intended for gaming?

    article: https://www.axios.com/2024/04/02/dei-backlash-diversity Not to derail this thread but I think a big part of the DEI push was a political side effect of the BLM movement and other related movements that were invested in heavily (and successfully) for the 2020 election. That investment...

    Why would you ever think this? A <$1000 home theatre is getting better every year and won't stop. This shitty 85" TV is $900 https://www.amazon.com/TCL-2023-Model-Accelerator-Streaming-Television/dp/B0C1J3CGLV That plus a cheap speaker system, a couch from the side of the road and a six pack...

    2.99 feels right because the value of movie experience is declining every year along with ticket sales while AMC is holding onto tons of theatres they can't fill. They're probably losing too much money and have too much inertia to adapt to 2023+ market conditions and other more agile theatres...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Kinda weird to hear the narrative designer say that high level narrative building is vomit inducing. Glad to hear they switched to UE5 a year ago. Wayyyy better than hearing they're making the switch now or plan to in the future. Super hyped for this game. They should release it when it's...

    I finished system change / system universe book 1 and started reading Ripple. I enjoy it so far! I'm a bit tired of Travis Baldree though, I've listened to so many books (probably 20+?) he's narrated and his range for different voices just isn't that high. It's funny because I had a conversation...

    What moonarchia said, with the exception that once you're geared, leveled, aa'd you can get a set of free to play, non-prestige gear and do non latest expansion content. I do this throughout the year, for anniversary stuff or fooling around

    I went with system change. Fun so far. Different start for litrpg than I've seen. What's funny is I'm enjoying the verrrry start of the ability bloat that got so tiresome in defiance of the fall. Im a sucker for this garbage.

    Just finished DotF12. I hope the author moves on from the ridiculous cultivation word salads, but i also don't know how you can really keep a litrpg / cultivation book going on for so long without it getting repetitive, bland or losing the progression. This book was more extreme in this then...

    My favorite overdoing, stupid, implausible server idea. I'd love to see an mmo that embraced the guide type system of player run events based on server politics with some kind of (probably doomed) system from a mega guild taking control and turning the benefits into DKP expenditures.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Wouldn't be surprised if Larian published this as a way to influence negotiations on future DLC / game for WOTC and how much the IP royalty payout is. The creation of a campaign builder + Dungeon Master game in the DnD universe (basically another try at Neverwinter Nights) could be a huge cash...

    Yes I use the same blocks in space. There's a built in tool in the SE mod to convert between space/surface trains which makes it easier. A key limitation in space is that you start with space belts that as fast as blue belts but have short underground lengths, so some of my very compact train...

    For block size I've been extremely happy with what I chose, which is uhm, 32 * 5? It matches the grids in Factorio which I usually have turned on for placement and pollution reasons. You can see a full block below and a quarter block factory. I like this size because I can make a quadrant...

    I dunno. I use LTN and I started with 1-1 (one locomotive, one cargo) trains and 1-4-1 (1 loco, 4 cargo, 1 loco). I used the 1-4-1 cargo for higher throughput (mining, iron plates, core fragments etc) and then 1-1 for everything else. This worked well until my systems got more complex and...

    The spaghetti never ends. The efficiency of my relatively organized city blocks is massively increased by a few strands of spaghetti between the blocks. A single belt between two nearby blocks will save a huge number of train transfers, when scaled up to all my city blocks that's a significant...

    If I play SE again (in like, 5 years at least) I probably won't include K2. Not because I don't enjoy it, but because I'd want to do things differently than I have already. Whether I'd recommend it I guess comes down to how many levels of progress a player wants, and how much they want to make...

    I'm using Coal Filtration to turn my oil into water. The problem is what to do with all the coal. It's still slow AF with this approach. I'm thinking about getting a mod that lets me void stuff, I dunno. Dealing with byproducts is an intentional difficulty in Space Exploration but giant...

    Here's one of my vulcanite quadrants. All the balancing magic happens here, and is how I do most of my balancing now for all my different systems with byproducts. Each type of output is put into a container, and then circuits are used to allow or prohibit output. In this case if I have too...
