    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Since they wont say how many accounts created a character, all we have to go off of is total creations, so 7.7k is ~0.1% of that. What percent of people/kids would you think are poopsocking during the height of summer break (and, of course, steamers sticking it out for viewers)?

    Text from the sailors on the sailing vessel Corto On April 25th at 01:00, we left Cherbourg and set sail for Camaret (the tip of Brittany). We are two experienced sailors on board (Simon and me) with the objective of bringing the boat to Southern Brittany. At 15:30, we were at sea, more than...

    That must have been rough. I thought Oak Cliff was high crime/murder rate hood from around 1980 to 2010 or so. Someone said it's back to white gentrification sorta nice now.

    I was thinking about a wild magic Sorc PC, but without being able to read through the negative side of the wild surge table, I don't think I want to babysit it for a first playthrough. Having half your gold disappear was fucking dumb in BG2. I also don't know how conversations work, if I run up...

    A huge part of the draw of western RPGs is choice and consequence with good to decent fantasy stories. So if modern games have conditioned you to skip dialog, especially if its not voiced, then you are not going to have a good time with the older games, for the most part. Some of the modern...

    Good Omens

    Seems like 90% of the characters on the show are gay. They also had their token trans and cripple. Of course there were body positive fatties and most of the women are ugly (only two attractive woman in the whole show that weren't extras). An Angel with a congenital disease, along with the...

    Act 1 is probably 80%+ complete in the EA and you can play it all. The EA ends when you reach the various different transition ways into chapter 2. So those are just the skill checks in act 1, which was supposed to be about 1/3 of the game, but that figure was from the start of EA. I think the...

    Is that book new, or just not used very much? Neither of the sites I linked above have it listed, but obviously didn't check the huge, more difficult to navigate, official wiki.

    New to the game on release vs. what's in the EA. There are a few homebrew too (I think). Can read about the PnP version, like Spore Druid on these 2 sites: https://rpgbot.net/dnd5/characters/classes/ http://dnd5e.wikidot.com

    Haven't watched season 3 yet, so hard to say, but that sex doll site has the "sex holes" pictured in a few places, and it looks a bit scary.

    The Witcher

    I vaguely remember a Vice episode (I think) on dudes that dress up their real dolls and act like they are real people. In that show, I thought they said Real Dolls were around $10k. So $3k seems like a deal! As to where you keep it, if you aren't the werdos in that old Vice piece that took...

    Snow White (2024)

    I support replacing all child parts in Hollywood with dwarfs, since 99% of child actors are shit. Dwarfs are also better equipped to fight off the Hollywood molesters crowd.

    (Other than what Void said) There was some discussion on this on the Steam forum. The most plausible thing I read was that Steam is not set up to preload EA games, so they would need to put the EA into a beta branch. Then you can download the release client as a preload, but locking the...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Donald & Stephen Glover wrote some funny shit in the show Atlanta and made a generally good show, so if they give him free reign, he might be able to salvage that IP. I doubt he will get free reign though, so more development by committee horseshit.

    Here is the in game overmap with the chapter 1 POI on the map, in the east. Each chapter moves you west, toward Baldur's Gate. I don't remember if you can quick travel in EA. Can zoom it a bit:

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The surrender was not cut and dry and the movie Japan's Longest Day goes into how contentious the surrender was. Would the military command been more inclined to defy the Emperor, had the bombs not been dropped? Maybe. Dude does a pretty good job laying out the arguments over bomb usage, in...

    Yea, it doesn't sound great, but maybe it could have changed over the course of development into more bloodlines like, which might have worked. I also look at the game Dark and Darker and see it mechanically working like that, but with a full RPG story and side quests.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I can't think of a single game that I spent more time on it outside the game than actually playing it. I have maybe hit the 200 hour mark on 1 out of every 50 games I have played, so someone spending 200 hours putting that together, especially when it's so close to release, seems ludicrous.

    Until we get the full release and it's been played through to the endgame, the PnP is all we have to go on. Since EA was just the first chapter with a level 4 cap(?), it's not really a good judge of how classes will ultimately play out. Using PnP as a guide can at least give you an idea of what...

    There is no Hexblade in the game and the house rules weapon bond isn't until level 3 lock, so Hexadin isn't going to be as OP as reported by PnP people. Sorcadin doesn't have the best option (Clockwork soul), at least according to RPGbot. Bardadin looks to have the right sub-classes in game...

    Jagged Alliance 3

    Only bug/issue I can think of is trying to quick load while it autosaves can cause an infinite load window, where you have to force close the game. Otherwise no other technical issues. Two main complaints I have read elsewhere: More guns, and more mods might be nice, in terms of gear...

    Wouldn't be surprised if that is due to a window lensing the sun, directly or reflected, to cause that.

    That's my concern too. Sven, in one of the recent interviews, said that in his first play through he would play a custom character so all the origins are from an outside perspective, then replay the character you liked to get the story from that character's point of view. He also said the Dark...

    Something I sort of neglected: Leadership is an overlooked stat that greatly affects travel time, along with listed benefits.

    Correct, according to Sven in one of his recent interviews, it wont affect the game, whatever class you turn companions into. So say Minsc has a bunch of ranger quest and dialog referring to him as a ranger, that wont change if you make him a druid. It also wont lock out any quests even if it's...

    I'm having trouble deciding what to play and leaning toward a bard as well. The 4 man party is kinda throwing a wrench in my choices. I usually always have a rogue for traps, and go with sorc for the PC as my first play through as good. For a good play through, I may just kill Astarion the...
