Conversely, I bought a house some 4 years ago that was literally 20x more expensive than what I sold my previous house for. I joke with my wife that we should sell our new house for a 200kish profit and buy our previous house back and just pocket the increase. Once the housing market crashes we...

People overstate the release-day bugs in BGS games. I did pretty much everything you could do in Skyrim within a few weeks of launch and didn't have many issues. I did most of the content in FO4 at launch too, but didn't enjoy it enough to fully clear the map. The only "BGS" game I remember...

looks like a modification to UE5 is craaaaaaazy. Still isn't as good as the non-real-time stuff that studios have been iterating on for a long time though, like Renderman. Hard for real-time usage on an engine built for single-GPU, ~100 FPS to compete with something that can run overnight on...

Anyone that's been gaming for a while (which includes all you old fuckers) that learned any lessons with D4 is probably beyond help. Not only has BGS earned my preorder $$$ with 30 years of ambitious game development but I'm willing to throw $$$ at basically anyone creating an open-world space...

I'm thinking about building a new PC for Starfield (TIME IS RUNNING OUT). Not sure if my GTX1080 Ti and .... 5th? generation i7 processor is up to the task for another run through the gamebryo engine.

I get the feeling I'm going to preorder Starfield, go hard for a couple of months and then when I do a replay in a few years pirate whatever dumbass horse ship armor DLC there is and smash it together with the other mega mods. Shit, I'm pretty sure for ES4/5 and Fallout 3 / NV I didn't even...

Considering the lander itself was like 70lbs, probably not a lot. Apollo's lander was ~30k lbs. A manned mission is on such a different scale that it's hard to compare it. Besides the difference in scale, these kinds of missions really need to rely on unmanned operation to be sustainable. Even...

just had another savegame that couldn't be loaded by Vulkan BG3, but could be loaded by DX11 BG3...

6. It didn't proc again for my MC which has more worms in his brains than brains (Just counted, 17 of the buggers, lol). Something is causing it to not proc sometimes. Shit is powerful though. Dramatically increases one-shot potential.

The latest in, "Tuco doesn't understand this game and is irrationally disappointed" Why didn't

Including the first expansion in the initial game is weird. I can't remember any other game doing that. For BGS games I typically go hard at release then replay a couple years post-release with a bunch of mods, and there are typically a bunch of expansions I don't like all that much. Am I...

what the hell is this, how did this guy take 0 damage from my fireball???

this guy is hoarding.... corpses.... in baldur's gate 3

People emotionally attached to it succeeding and failing are two sides of the same coin. Fortunately when it comes to crazy breakthroughs you can safely be faithful to the idea that it's bullshit and be right most of the time. Personally I enjoy the spectacle of these events while hoping the...

Can't wait to break my way through this bug infested game. I'm doing my part!

Anytime I'm at someone's house and am watching TV for whatever reason, whenever a commercial comes on I feel like a fucking sheep being nipped at by a dog.

I watched the first episode of Bear last night. I've never been so stressed out from watching a TV show before.

with how much voice acting is in BG3 I wonder if it's feasible to train a language model from eleven labs to do additional voiceover work for mods.

I've become such a MS fanboy over the last few years. I don't even like Windows/Office that much, but these guys love open source code they bought it all. Anyway, I'm looking at the calendar of Starfield's release while playing BG3 like a dude on MasterChef watching his cake rise in the oven.

I briefly used my foot pedals for ER, just wasn't enough simultaneous action needs to justify it like for some flight sims and guild wars 2. I ended up using left hand on an xbox controller, right hand on a mouse and was pretty satisfied. I think anyone on PC should give that a try. How gamepad...

Been looking for a kid's smartwatch for a while for my 8 year old, I mostly want it for: Him to text his neighborhood buddies to arrange hangouts To reach out to us when he needs to or vice versa Us to big brother track him The new smartwatches are too expensive to give to an eight year old...

Home | Vulkan | Cross platform 3D Graphics is a competitor to DX11.

Just ran into an issue where I was unable to load the last ~3 hours of saves (about 10 of them). I "fixed" it by switching to DX11 instead of Vulcan, hmmmm

blew up some clown with Searing Smite and didn't proc these boots. I guess it's bugged or I don't understand what a Condition is.

"Development"

The emperor protects.

both worth the same way from what I can tell. They proc both bless/mystra's blessing, and Mystra's Blessing doesn't help my barbarian unga bunga gooder.

It's an interesting thought experiment. * Mankind discovers fundamentally new science regarding propulsion, energy storage, energy production, biology, VR and consciousness * Mankind develops new technology around that science that enables rapid growth of human populations on Earth and around...

Guy from the vids I've been posting says no super conductivity.

OK am I missing somethring or is this ability bugged and I'm not getting shit from it?

I listen to audio books while driving and doing yard work and I have a confused jumble of conflated connections to parts of a story and what I was doing at the time. I blitzed through the entire Cradle series while recovering from a surgery for a week and now whenever I remember that book series...

I use GIMP. It's not good, but it is free!

yep. And that's OK.
