I hear ToTK is best played on PC.

Trailer is A+++. I went from not thinking about elden ring in a year to wanting to day 1 this game. I'm thinking about rolling a fresh character for the DLC. Not sure if I want to roll one on DLC release, roll before, or wait until it's been out for a bit to play. Whatever I do I'll probably...

That's one of the fun things about math. More so than a lot of fields, people understand mathematic ideas with wildly different approaches. And in some cases a preferred approach for someone is much more complex. And some people understand concepts at a deeper, more connected level where...

I've always thought of parry as being something of a uhm, showboating move. In most cases to parry effectively you have to really know the moveset of the mob you're facing so you can effectively parry during the window and at the right times. This becomes an investment that pays off in that you...

Ossoi isn't autistic and anyone who thinks he is probably does shit DPS.

Black Flag really is one of the all-time great games. I've never played Sea of Thieves or other pirate-type games (but have played a LOT of Archeage!) but I'm a little disappointed that naval combat isn't a more popular gameplay element in games.

I'd be tempted to truly save-scum (by backing up the old savegame files in your file system and restoring them). Would be interesting if instead of reverting from honor to custom mode on death, they instead had a running tally of times you reloaded or died. Really strict hardcore rules work...

Anyone here beat honor mode or get that far with it? I'll be tempted to give it a go if I replay BG3, though I doubt I'll invest the required effort to either use broken builds (if they exist...) or optimum paths. Especially since there will probably be new content I haven't seen and won't want...

I'm not a mathematician, but yes. If you've got a circle with a diameter of 10 inches, the circumference is 10 * π, which is an irrational number. If you've got a circle with a circumference of 42 inches, the diameter is 42 / π. You can either "maintain" its irrationality by keeping the pi...

Rotating ZEMs, Hotzones etc is something that would also address a huge issue in live EQ, which is a widely distributed playerbase. Here's something I posted a while ago about live EQ and hotzones: Step 1: Add Mischief style randomized loot to hot zone names as bonus drops. Step 2: Create a...

I enjoy drowning in confusion, so I enjoy it. I played Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 after doing a ~40 hour playthrough of vanilla and I am enjoying how I have to redo everything multiple times either because of my own foolishness or because of new tech is unlocked. If you really want to play...

Eh, not really. That's like, the 10th biggest question here at best. Biggest question is probably, "Can I make $$$ by selling this?". And the answer is yes. #8 biggest question might be, "Does this decrease the barrier to entry for creating this kind of content?" and the answer is most...

This was kinda done in the Boys to great effect https://the-boys.fandom.com/wiki/Doppelganger

What fence am I sitting on?

I don't dispute that it's hard to predict where AI videos or writing will go, but a video on how AI-created videos have evolved with Sora isn't a very compelling argument against how LLMs will have diminishing returns on producing high quality writing. What old nerds like us have seen...

Boy it's all gay thoughts from you.

I think the man protesteth too much.

I'll avatar bet they don't make Wolverine gay or bi. 1 month avatar duration, bet concludes 1 week after first season of this show is fully out. Decision on whether they make Wolverine gay/bi is done by amod.

re: an xman animated series reboot, like many of you I grew up on this shit. This show, along with the Batman, Superman cartoons in the same era were my favorites growing up. I did a rewatch of it with my wife (who also grew up watching it) around ~10 years ago and aside from the final season...

since that video is talking about changeling, Tbh if 90% of ypur assignments were to pretend to be a woman, suck some guys cock and then bust/steal from him you'd probably just adapt to the role.

With some 650 million USD in revenue, a 90 million USD payout to the license holders seems about right, no? Hopefully it means more DnD games in the future.

My Western Digital Raptor ( Western Digital Raptor - Wikipedia ) carried a lot of weight with all 10,000 RPMs.

Caught up with Primal Hunter. Started listening to Azarinth Healer, which I'm enjoying quite a bit. The genre is dominated by males with male voice actors and it's refreshing to have a voice actress instead, who happens to be extremely good besides. I really wish more audio books would embrace...

Meanwhile, some of us are raising kids by gaming together, while employed and using skills honed from a lifetime of gaming.

My investment advice is aligned to how I use consumables in RPGs. Just buy, never sell, die with an unused retirement account and finish games with a chest full of potions. I bought one Bitcoin many years ago on a lark, will probably hold it forever.

Nobody knows. buuuut BUY BUY BUY ITS GOING TO THE MOON

Brother the end game is mastering boxing. Not a lot of games that support that and EQ is the best one.

I don't even know if ISBoxer 2.0 is in use much? I've never seen or heard about it being used for EverQuest.

3x of any class will be relatively poor because the game is designed from the bottom up to bring in different roles and group buffs. Bards are a good focal point of that, virtually every 3box with the same class would benefit dramatically from replacing one of them with a bard. Stacking the same...

Each cake takes 8 eggs and 7 milks iirc, or 750 gold worth. At 116 cakes to max out a pal's star level, that's 87,000 gold just for one Pal, and just for one of the easiest parts of a cake to farm. Easier to just catch a handful of chickens and cows, then condense them and ranch them (along a...

Game definitely feels like an early access game, both due to bugginess of some core systems and how imbalanced some of the late-game loops are. It won't take toooo much to resolve both of those issues. Will be a bit harder to add a true end-game given how loose the combat is, and that's probably...

Brother nearly blinds himself by literally staring at the sun and then stabbing his eye with a needle, then casually invents calculus to help a buddy figure out how planets wobble. Absolute legend.

Like others said it's feasible as you breed better pals. I didn't sweat too hard over it but I had something like 3 berry farms, 5 wheat farms, 3 cows, 3 chickens, 1 beegarde. Then enough of the high-tier Pals to run it all. What I'd do differently if I did it again is optimize breeding for the...

Reminds me of silver ants They use triangular hairs to keep themselves cool though, not metallic hair.

I'm not really in favor of banning GDKP, but the idea that they'd change their policy on GDKP and the gold-botting industry would just evaporate is ridiculous. The gold farming industry has built up a ton of infrastructure, they're going to use it until their accounts are banned or the $$$ they...

I've got a 9 and 5 year old, which is why it's taking me literally 3 years to beat a game!

I think one of my accounts was RAF at some point. I have no idea if it works or how to check it.

I think so. I think it's being packaged as a free expansion or patch. https://wiki.factorio.com/Roadmap

Playing Palworld made me want to resume Factorio again. I started my Space Exploration playthrough in 2022, put in a few hundred hours before putting it down and resuming in August of 2023 and putting in a few hundred hours. Factorio 2's release date is August of this year, which basically...

This collage did Dirac dirty with that choice of pic when someone jumped into his room at 3 am, shined a flashlight on his face and took a pic.
