    Castlevania

    Very loosely a tiny bit of Curse of darkness. I figured more was spoiler territory vs very vague plot synopsis. probably not to spoilery to say St. Germaine is a large part of the A-plot mentioned.

    Path of Exile

    yeah, heres the text in this manifesto. As you note, desecrate ALREADY would add your current spectres to the spawn list. so what does this mean exactly? I "Think" this is saying desecrate now keeps a history. Like, previously you could lose your spectres. Say you were fighting izaro, and...

    Castlevania

    Binged it. it was good.. but also felt odd at times. Not exactly a prologue. not sure I could compare it to a GoT season. but thats probably the most accurate. It did climax decently enough with the A-plot. 4plots. bounces around them. D-plot. Alucard is bored at home. A brother and...

    Path of Exile

    I like the idea of a mana build. I wonder where this will fall. I mean, heralds/auras kindof already did that. Just reserved vs consume. the guard skill steps on MoM's toes. Having damage AND defense draining mana, seems like a good way to die. so probably a pick one? I have no idea what the...

    Path of Exile

    spellslinger mana reserve seems like it will get out of control real fast. kind like heralds, I suspect you won't want to go overboard with it. 1 maybe 2 spells generally. no other supports(that increase mana reservation at least)

    Path of Exile

    its not CoC, its poets pen in a skillgem. 6-link spellslinger with a bunch of spells. 5 link wand attack in gloves. or something like that. spellslinger is not linked to the attack. its a SEPARATE active skill, that reservers mana, AND it procs when you attack with wands.

    Since there are sub-races for Teifling being created, I would bet Githzerai might be a sub-race for the Githyanki here.

    haha. I love how he had to reply and pin a comment correcting Demon to Devil.. and half the comments are calling him out on it.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    yeah, the "3" is what bothers me. I think they could and should have gone with "Baldur's Gate", and anything else. Legends of Baldurs gate. Return to Baldurs gate. Baldurs gate: Prime.

    Investing General Discussion

    I bought more like 2 days ago. was too early.. its not going to go back up nearly as fast as it dropped, or is dropping. I'd give it a few more days, or even 2 weeks. its obviously bigger then I thought it was going to be.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    man that shit REALLY looks like Divinity: OS 2 still.. just modded for DnD rules. Does look like they put some effort into getting alot of DnD rules in though. Lighting/cover, push, jump, fall damage, etc. he hasn't gotten to skill checks yet. Dialogue options. This was really good...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    yeah, that makes it so it says, "vanquishers chest" or whatever, instead of just "chest". I mean no modern arpg shows you the stats on items before picking them up. most of them, you have to ID the items first. this is one of the few that are already ID'd.

    i dont even remember which those where. Either way, there is too many of them. they need to cut the bloat badly.

    theres a vaguely labeled check box in the menu for that. something about "show item type". uncheck it.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    yeah, these are all major issues. Mage skills all feel exactly the same. and every mage build is just some variant of casting 3-4 aoe ground effectc damage over time circles. abilities that hit multiple times per cast are the only viable skills. hotjoin grouping was probably the intended...

    a good point. portraits, while keeping the overhead view I think would work better for this type of game.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    new major bug in the last patch apparently. not enough monsters in expeditions to complete. Reddit says there is a work around. stand in place when zoning into a map or side area for 20-30s. Apparently the bug is related to moving too early before monsters load in. and then monsters can't...

    Mindgamers on Netflix. 0/10 one of the WORST movies I've ever seen. Horrible editing. completely incoherent story.

    I'm not ok with this https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9446688/ Series. 7.8/10. Pretty solid. Basically another remake of Carrie. More contemporary vs Carries "shes a witch" nutty mom. Better then Sabrina imho. not nearly as woke. but still teenagers... protag is kindof annoying. but...

    I think you meant, "hey Rory, what are we going to do this league?" "same thing we do every league Jonathan, cram the game full of visual clutter, obscure more and more the screen, and add endless bloat to an already overly bloated core game!"

    Stoneshard (Roguelike RPG)

    started this. basically echo most of what everyone else has said. I love the base game. one of the best feeling roguelike since dredmor. healing/food takes up like 90% of your inventory at any given time... the scarcity element of it alone is hard enough. making it take all of your...

    Doom: Eternal

    doom 2016's tv spot was not Mick Gordon either. Refused- New Noise was used. which according to the comments was also used in Cyperpunk 2077. SEE!

    Doom: Eternal

    In fact, I'll take it a step further. Doom is cyberpunk. And instead of this gothic angel shit, they should have taken it further in THAT direction, ala Shadowrun. If we see Earth in this game, it needs to look like its right out of Shadowrun/cyberpunk 2177. make a DOOM with this vibe.

    Doom: Eternal

    to be fair, the "fixes" were making fun of the bad music. And, while at it. I think you could a Doom trailer or score a Doom game with Synthwave. That'd work.

    yo, what? its paid dlc? the fuck? yeah I thought it was free... that trailer was not remotely enticing enough for a paid dlc. a bunch of random stuff.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    They could reduce its hits per second. not all periodic damage spells have the same hit rate. some are .2s, some .3, some .4, iirc. in general, "fixing" bulwark of dawn, would require totally changing how added damage to spells works. The game needs "effectiveness of added damage".. as...

    looks like they messed with the timeline, and GREATLY under stated what happened with Palma's wife/kids. Palma was arrested in the U.S. in 1978 and sentenced to 8 years. in 1989 The Arellano Felix brothers, not Gallardo set Clavel to seduce his wife. He got her to take the kids and leave with...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    the problem is basically all the skills scale in the same exact way. you got either ailments or hits/second periodic damage. This is really bad in spells. Anomoly. aoe ground periodic. Bulwark of dawn. aoe ground periodic. Tear of eth. aoe ground periodic. winters grasp. aoe ground periodic...

    some interesting changes apparently. first the brothers AND maid were much younger then shown. 5 and 3. The maid was 12. Carlos the 3 year old, shot her. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/mexico/family/brothers.html So it happened, and was a huge scandal. Narcos...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    honestly I was going to defend it at first too. I mean, PoE was a free to play game. but I paid $25 iirc to get into the closed EA beta. I think paying a premium for exclusive early access is fine, and reasonable. Early adopters taking risks. And with that, its up to the Devs to provide a...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    I feel like I am going to stop playing. I enjoyed it well enough. but so many damn gamebreaking bugs. I don't want to hit one of the character deletion or game locking ones. I really expect a character wipe sooner then later as well. I think I will go play some more Starsector, and come...

    Star Trek: Picard

    they dont watch much TV/streaming. took them forever to watch hill house. probably only did becuase Mike loves Ghost stuff. notice they never mention Game of thrones or anything. none of the Marvel Streaming, Daredevil etc. Even the Streaming movies rarely.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    yeah, those city easteregg things are really cool. act 3 city being choked with refugees was really impressive too. I dont think I've ever seen a game manage to do a crowd like that. I feel like I need someone to explain the ending to me... its like there is a missing scene or two...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    yes? Because that already happened. The game WAS in Early access. we were playing it for years. and then, last year act 1 dropped, and came with a price increase. Sure it was incomplete and had bugs. But you expect that, and we expected them to be addressed before release. And yeah, we...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    my eye is on Darksburg atm. arpg+vermintide/l4d. sadly the steam reviews since it just came out as Early access have not been kind. Although it does seem most of the negative reviews are "its just not ready".
