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...

flag lady is thiccer than the smoke in a boring company tunnel after a tesla's battery explodes.

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.

Jon Snow coming back to the Nights Watch after all the bullshit he endured in the last few seasons:

The finale was totally absurd. It was like one of those 3D foam puzzles of a castle, but they used cheese whiz for half of it. It'd be my entire morning to list how much of it is ludicrous to the point of being a bad fan fic, but I think my biggest complaints mirror @Lithose. Most of my...

Necros 2.0 is forever glued to their hand, partially because the 2.5 augs is bugged and stacks with the original epic, giving them a 18 percent crit rate like fight says instead of the 10 percent its supposed to.

I think Bronn will have a significant part in the final episode. He's carrying Chekhov's Crossbow after all.

Tyrion finally hooked up with Daenarys at the peak of my interest in GoT and I remember being fully hyped that he would finally add political guile to her capability. Instead he contributed exactly nothing and went from being my favorite character to a victim.

Jaimies actor shouldve written his own parts.
