Whether it's BG3's bear fucking or a funny leak story I have to imagine that any funny news around a major game release that isn't negative is a godsend to their marketing. There's a horde of gamers hungry for the game and will push any news story that happens, so better they get distracted by a...

Telling me I can casually play a PvP MMO is like telling a recovered meth addict they can just take a hit at parties. I only feel alive when it's 72 hours after a release and I've only slept when the server was down. I'm either winning the game by ruining the server through destruction of all...

I remember using maybe Roger Wilco (software) - Wikipedia ??? back in Shadowbane beta. This was with PRX, Covenant of Swords etc. I'm pretty sure all the top forces used some form of VOIP. Shit I remember voice-chat being the primary communication in my CounterStrike crew back in CStrike beta...

split from investing general discussion thread. As a layman on the topic and someone who lives in an area not likely impacted, I'd be 100% for a federal program to build housing if it moved people out of cities and areas with housing issues. For a lot of market sectors the advent of...

The war Amazon is waging to staff the lowest-paid people possible while avoiding loss from hiring the lowest-paid people possible is pure late-stage capitalism at its finest. It's what I think of when I buy a $20 good on Amazon and free next-day delivery is an option.

Maybe in 14 years when my youngest goes to college

I never played it but at a high-level Crowfall was still my favorite PvP MMO idea. Embracing cyclic starts that terminate in world domination in a game with genuinely fun gameplay is the way.

I wonder what big distributors like Amazon, FedEx etc do to automatically parse ebay / Mercari stores for goods and sync it with recent losses. Gotta imagine anyone working at a factory trying to skim off the top will be too stupid to sample randomly enough to avoid detection.

Yeah but how are you going to encourage men to purchase $200 plastic dolls if they don't have beach ball shoulder pads?

I would've preferred the Astartes weren't prominent and were instead brought in as a story piece to btfo whatever whenever they show up, but there's a lot of things they could do to balance it, from making the other characters superheroes to making him an intermittent hero to making him a broken...

What's the closest mmo to shadowbane on the horizon in the next 2ish years?

I think this is a pretty common ruse to explain away any production implements you might see even if they try to hide it. Mics, cameras, producers, a bunch of random staff that don't belong. If anyone ever tells you they're filming a documentary, watch out, lol.

I'd be interested to see a breakdown of depraved crap people coerce Llama to generate, which can be installed locally and is open-source. I don't know if there's a "Degeneracy" slider for people to create dumb fan-fiction or if it'd require a massive amount of training. I remember the stories...

also lol I never knew about this cause I'm sheltered

I don't think anyone at DPG cares about the cheese caused by FTE mechanics. There's no doubt the design drops the difficulty of the game, so who cares if players can drops it a bit further than intended by cheesing encounters.

Beth games are the Golden Corral of gaming. The food isn't all that great, you'll probably get dysentery from it, but damn if there isn't a lot of it and in any variety you want. Plus you can bring a hotplate and a cast iron and mod the food where needed. Sometimes that prime rib that's been...

Brother, find the densest, hardest group of gamers hyped about Starfield and laughing at the Bethesda marketing craziness and you'll find me in the center of it. Speaking of which, 100% ingame footage

The relationship between BGS fans kind of reminds me of an old married couple about to take a cruise. "Yeah Harry's probably going to fuck up the reservation again, get sick and be too tired to go snorkling with the kit he spent $700 on, but I can't wait to go." Case in point, this thread is...

I've been seeing some regular crashing with the Vulkan BG3, but more stable operation with DX11. I'm not sure which one runs at higher FPS though.

This sentiment always cracks me up when it comes up. Like, yeah brother, there are hundreds of great movies that came out by 2002, if you didn't watch all of them you must be sheltered.

Last night I did my all-time greatest wombo combo on Act 3 spoilers

I will guarantee you a smooth Starfield day 1 experience, backed by @Derpa 's next social security benefit.

Yeah I don't know the answer to that question and in the case of jk simmons omniman and the concept of training an AI on his voice i don't know if it's a straightforward answer. Another example is baldurs gate 3 where the most famous returning character from bg1 and bg2 used a different voice...

I wonder what the legality is for imitating and deepfaking voice actors in subsequent seasons. Like, can Amazon pay JK Simmons for season 1 of voice acting and then just have someone imitate his voice and then deep-fake correct it if he doesn't sign up for following seasons? Omniman's voice is...

Yeah the concept of a fixed window to see a specific direction is beyond me. But this vid of an wooden shed observatory is pretty cool. If I lived in bumfuck Michigan I'd be tempted to yeet a on top of my house. Then I could use Starlink to livestream whine about Starlink constellations...

Damn, I can't count the number of times I've wanted to create my own coordinate system with my fireplace as a global origin, but couldn't because I can't see the North Star from a window near my fireplace. It would be cool to have a mechanized telescope mounted as an observatory to my roof...

yeah I haven't been following starfield hardly at alllll but I imagine it'll be like Daggerfall where the planets serve as a backdrop to build a bunch of quests on. Daggerfall's land mass was like, the size of Britain and it had over 4000 dungeons. You could just set off in one direction and...

In terms of open world shooter RPGs that came out by 2008, Fallout 3 is awesome. There's the world. It's a total shit hole. Who knows what's going to happen. Go wherever you want, explore wherever you want. Degeneracy and adventure awaits.

I haven't tried any of them but keep tabs on them since I'm super into gaming, RPGs, sandboxes and AI. I'm way more into how something like a large language model could dynamically change a game's world, opponents, mechanics etc than what it spits out for "act as fisherman mcgee and tell the...

I gotta imagine this community has a high density of disciplined neckbeards that beat these giant sprawling RPGs on their first playthrough, compared to other gaming communities. I know I not only beat Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 1, 3, 4, New Vegas on my first playthroughs, but also...

Hacking a Russian lunar lander is like me tripping a toddler on the playground. The kid will fall on their own and it'll be funnier when it happens naturally.

I don't recognize 127 seconds as a noteworthy number, but I also have never stored time as seconds in a signed char. I'm a 64 bit IEEE float seconds from unix epoch man myself, but also wouldn't be surprised if they used nananoseconds since GPS epoch since it's space and GPS doesn't have leap...

I bet you won't like Starfield. It'll be fallout but with a bunch of boring space flight and empty planets

I swear I've never been this stressed out from an RPG, I'm act 3 spoilers
