    Looks cool, is the kind of game I get into. I'd want to know why I should play this over another run through Kenshi or Bannerlord though.

    Interesting, I didn't really know spear was so easy in previous games, I just liked it because it's rare in gaming and really, because it makes sense as a weapon to fight giant monsters. I mean, if I had to fight a grizzly bear with any weapon, it'll be a spear. I think that's what happened in...

    I think I did in DS2. In DS1 I used a spear. In DS3 I used .... a spear plus magic I think? I am kinda curious how well high level dark souls-like players are faring in elden ring. I'd be truly impressed by someone going in cold and beating the game with a low death count in the same way a lot...

    I agree, but at this point I don't view it as that much of a binary thing, which is great. So much of space flight to this point has been pinned on popularity fueling very expensive and narrowly scoped projects like Apollo, Perseverance or JWST. The ISS missions weren't narrowly scoped, which...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Yes it's coming out for pc. Combat in souls like games is very animation focused compared to most games. For the most part, once you memorize an enemy's moveset and have your timing down, you can clown them. Then you move onto the next enemy and have to learn their moveset again. Depending on...

    Once they ramp up it'll be the biggest leap in space rocketry since Apollo. The projected orbit cost per kilogram will be so low we could pool our tucobux together and rickshaw the asshat 2027 winner into the moon. Oldspace won't even be competing in the same space.

    This is really incredible. I'm not sure if it's good enough to want to listen to robotic versions of professional voice actors, but it's still really impressive.

    Kinda turns the game into spreadsheet simulator though. To each their own but I really enjoyed dealing with the interruptions caused by the landscape. I never got into the aesthetic factory building, would rather use maya for that.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I don't know anything about the game but I'm planning on playing a spear wielding build if it exists. I generally eschew magic because it doesn't participate in what I think is the core of these games gameplay.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Which bosses? From what I recall, most bosses either have fairly single-threaded attacks or multi-attacks that, if split among multiple players, are trivial (ex: ornstein/smough).

    from my experience it's bimodally distributed in terms of lethality. In other words, you either get some poor son of a bitch who is more clueless than a turtle on top of a fence post or you get some fashion souls monster who just wombo-combos the boss in ways you can't even begin to understand.

    I bounce between offline and online. Online for the variety, offline for enjoying the game. I find dark souls pvp to be a joke and getting help with a boss is basically cheating, but it can break up the repetitive nature of dark souls games of memorizing movesets and terrain.

    I'm a huge sucker for litrpg, it's triggers all my endorphins from a lifetime of competitive MMO without actually playing the game. It doesn't even need to be a good book, I'm listening to count of monte cristo now and can't wait till it's over so i can go back to some garbage litrpg...

    OpenMW is pretty ridiculous. In addition to graphics you'll want some combination of gameplay mods to make it, well, more like Skyrim (or RPGs made this millennium). One interesting thing of note is that when you play MW you see how much effort it takes on the part of the writers to come up...

    I kind of like the idea of creating these immutable waste assets. It's super rare in gaming to create items that simply can't be destroyed. Feels like some kind of anti-nuclear NIMBY ploy from the devs tho :D

    Yeah, feels like in five years we'll be able to just launch a mega telescope into lagrange that has a hundredth of the cost of jwst and ten times the capability.

    Yeah, for me a big part of the fun of Dark Souls was treating it as a puzzle. Solving the puzzle by reading the solution online takes away a lot of the fun. But then after dying to some bullshit 10x in a row I'll probably googling "elden ring broken builds" and "elden ring cheatengine memory...

    One thing I really enjoyed years ago was playing on the Mithrintia server (Home | Mithrintia) which is now defunct. They had an extremely active creative server that, when joining, limited your ability to place things to a small plot (50x50 iirc) that you needed to build something "decent" on...

    Kinda want to return to GW2. My elementalist, which I loved so much, got kinda stale near the end of my playing and the new elite profession takes it in a direction I don't like. After playing a profession for months that everyone said was underpowered I kind of want to play a FotM profession...

    And if you do fuck up and spin out with no one else around, you've gotta blitz as hard as possible to get your car out of the snow berm before anyone shows up to help so you can carry that shame secretly with you to the grave.

    Yeah I had a lot of fun building the nuclear factory "into" the cliff-side. I like the water/fluid mechanics in the game but they kind of coerce you into a low-lying and horizontally large factory since pure copper/iron ingots are so strong.

    ED puts the "flight" in space flight sim, with mechanics designed around what is possible with an Airbus Beluga in atmosphere. but really I don't mind, I'm just upset there's no pause button for a solo game. The excuses people made for "why" are pretty funny though, and man are there a lot...

    How piloting a ship in the tutorial in ED feels after playing Chorus: Found out there wasn't a pause feature even in the "solo" mode of ED, which pretty much rules it out for me and my dad-with-young-children-lifestyle. Maybe I'll check it out again in another nine years!!
