BG2 is great with or without the Throne of Bhaal expansion. If you're into mods check out: https://github.com/EE-Mod-Setup/EE-Mod-Setup

If it wasn't Jim Cummings doing the voice, I might be inclined to agree. His characters get a lot of latitude with me. Same with Mark Hamil.

Yep. The trailer set the stage for it to be as dark as bg1/bg2 generally was, but I'm sure there will be some camp in it.

Progression PvP is probably the only progression server I'd consider playing. I bet they don't want it because it'd be a huge drama-fest when some jerk with 50 mages from VMs starts camping players like they're camping hill giants. I am proud that in an AMA directed at the producer I asked the...

I wanted to go horde back in beta. All the PvP guilds went horde so we went alliance. I stuck with it years later. I did roll horde in beta though. Leveling a undead mage in one of the first patches that had them was fun.

Trailer was pretty much perfect. Had the same feel of the old trailers while also showing something that was not only grounded in Baldur's Gate lore, but is super exciting. There's a bunch of different directions they could take a BG3 game and illithid is the most ambitious and the most...

Huh? I've been alliance since 2004. I also cancelled my subs today.

Yes, if you like RPGs. Because it uses 2D graphics the game is still visually appealing and has aged well. Especially with the Enhanced Edition allowing you to zoom around. What hasn't aged well are the loot / spell mechanics that can get a little tiresome. Cheating in a few bags of holding...

That's a good point I hadn't thought of.

Never heard of Surviving Mars. Can you recommend it for someone who kind of likes city building / strategy / survival games, and really likes early-space travel fiction (Ex: expanse series) and space science?

https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/06/spacex-working-on-details-of-how-to-get-people-to-mars-and-safely-back/ I haven't really been following what SpaceX's goals are for a first man-on-mars mission, but I'm surprised to hear them talking about people staying on mars for 500 days. I kind of...

Part of me wants to believe that medical researchers and doctors would have the kind of data to show a tripling of rates of autistic behavior in a couple decades that isn't explained by changing definitions and classification, but with the pathetic state of any social science that's politically...

Autism pisses me off, even more than cancer. I don't really know any autists (except you fuckers of course) but there's something about a syndrome that seems to have become an epidemic in my lifetime that makes me want to eradicate it. Here's to hoping the link with the gut biome is relevant...

I've played BG/BG2 more times than any other singleplayer game. The amount of replayability is massive due to the library of mods ( List of BG2EE Compatible Mods )for what is really an impressive engine even by modern standards. The recent Enhanced Edition revitalized the community and now it's...

You gotta be a simple server if your community settles on a dump like nfp for a hub. How many hours did your dumbasses spend running there while cool kids were trotting from commonlands spire and druid circles to our hub?

Why would NFP ever be a trading hub? It's totally isolated.

All this talk about weapons makes me want the chase item in the next expansion to be a weapon. The TBL chase items are great, but you can only get so excited about boots/ring/gloves/shoulders.

I don't believe you!

Ran for 3 miles without walking last night for the first time ever. Before that I had only ever ran about a mile before I needed to stop. Pretty excited about it. I've still got some serious dysfunction to work through and the more I research it the more I think I have...

TO THE MOON, WE'RE BREAKING 100K THIS TIME

I don't really buy that ~0% figure though, satellites are easy to spot

It's a pretty huge business question for sure. I'd be very curious to see what calculations they have internally to show that a market exists to provide the kind of funding they expect to get. I don't really trust their published numbers for numerous reasons. Lots of unknowns on both the market...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/17/las-vegas-is-about-to-take-a-gamble-on-musks-boring-company Vegas is playing it safe with the $$$, and really if this whole thing ends in disaster it's not really a big deal for Vegas. I'm excited to see it succeed though.

better writing than the episode

I'll watch the sequels if they get great reviews. I doubt they will.

How much did you laugh at their face in the last couple weeks?

It's a good thing that Emelia Clark can make a fucking trumpet with those lips, it's the only way a bunch of Dothraki could hear her from 3 football fields away.

this is fake.
