    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    I learned how to circumvent the bugs with editing the saves in Kingmaker, at release, so will defiantly be playing day 1, regardless. The Wrath beta was stable though, so I should at least get through two thirds of the game before needing to dust off Notepad++.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    As Hatorade said, auto-level is decent, and should be fine for companions on normal (or below) difficulty. For your main, I would recommend building yourself, to get the somewhat complicated but not a full on build out the whole party complexity that is needed for the higher 2 difficulties. If...

    The Witcher

    Watched this tonight as well, and found it better than the show, as the animation can cover up the flaws in live action. They don't need a huge budget to make the spells, monsters, and Witcher potions/powers look more spectacular; as well as allowing for more brutality/gore. If you have played...

    Encased

    Full release Sept. 7th. Game looks great for a successor for Fallout 1 and 2. I have been waiting on full release, as to not spoil it through EA. Next month will be busy with Pathfinder and this, since both are 40+ hour games. P.S. Some other Russians made a decent Fallout clone, as well; if...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Going from a Porsche Boxster to any 4 door saloon car, that weighs 1000+ more lbs, is going to feel like shit in the corners. The straight away can be compensated by more horsepower, but will probably feel worse, as well. Since nothing is going to compare with the previous car, he might as well...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    The only thing I remember about the WoW release is that Wal-Mart set the pallet, with WoW on it, out in the isle at around 9pm, but never opened the cardboard boxes to put them on the shelf. So I walked up, popped open the box and helped Wal-Mart break the street date. I started up my Tauren...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    This guy seems to have a good handle of the classes for the game and also put some good builds up for Kingmaker (don't know how many he actually made vs found on reddit/steam). Disclaimer: This only really matters for the highest two difficulties, as on normal or below, any pure class should...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Up to chapter 4 (I think, changing chapters was a bit confusing) is available in the beta, which is maybe 2/3s of the game. I stopped playing both betas before hitting the end (around level 11), but you may be able to get to 14 or 15, as a full group. The bugs in beta were nothing compared to...

    David Grohl of Foo Fighters has a tradition of pulling up a person from the crowd to play something at most (?) live shows. Here is a kid doing pretty damned well under all that pressure (few years old now, but new to me):

    Telepathy in modern world

    My uncle Ernie raises rabbits. In other news, this is the most off topic of topics, since it has no real topic. So, is it this sub forum's meta?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hence the inquiries about the availability of his wife, and they even offered a hand job for him. Makes you wonder what his wife looks like.

    The Last Duel (2021)

    Indeed, the trailer does look good and I hope they stick to the overarching events of history, but I guess it wont be winning any awards, due to not meeting it's minority quota, as put forth by the academy... or maybe the King of France is actually trans, and they don't show that plot line in...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Darth Vader was played normally, Blackulous would need to be played in the same vein as Shaft, or other Blacksploitation movies, to have full impact. There is actually a Silver Surfer Black in comics, so I guess he could 70's cheese it up, but it would lose the great name of Blackulous. It is...

    Lady Loki put the wrong year into the flux capacitor and sent him back to before the 1900 to 2099 time window that they hunt 99% of the Loki, obviously. The Kang statue was during his first iteration of the TVA, before the great mind wipe of the second Triumvirate Timekeepers...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Some years back I read an article (or maybe it was a TED talk or the new Cosmos show) about rocket alternatives to put things in orbit (I just tried to find it, with no luck). From what I recall, in order to reach orbit, through cannon or rail gun, it would require acceleration so fast that the...

    I guess I chose the wrong words, I was thinking more along the lines of it is the only alternative I have seen to rocket power that may work and have all of its (many) problems resolved within the next 100 years.

    The Astronomy Thread

    The vast majority of technology is iterative, not revolutionary, so ten years doesn't seem like that much time for an "amazing" technology, something the likes of no experts can currently think of, but sure, maybe. If I were a betting man, I would say that it is far more likely to happen in the...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Sure, I like science fiction, and trying to picture future technology is neat, but there are some things that are more probable than others. Flying into space like your taking off and landing an airplane may be achievable, but it wont be an airplane (using a wing to provide lift to increase...

    I haven't watched the farm yet, but I tend to agree. Here he is narrating the St. Nazaire raid (just watched this a week or so ago and it was pretty good):

    Escape velocity is a bitch and no wing will even get you close. AFAIK, the only alternatives on the horizon are space elevator type things, where we use the rockets to get other modes of transport into orbit and functional.

    I watched the first two episodes of For All Mankind and found it uninteresting. It was just close enough to history to be annoying. Also, don't much care for Joel Kinnaman, so that didn't help (I liked season 1 of Altered Carbon in spite of him).

    Great 4x games?

    Distant Worlds and Dominions 3 are great, and I have easily spent 100+ hours in both (Dom3 mods probably took it to 500+ hours). I don't know how old "relatively newer" is though. So, Dominions 5 is probably as good as Dom 3, with some improved mechanics, and it came out in 2017 (for a newer...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    After reading the last few pages, I'm going to have to go find my Warcraft 3 CD, install a DVD drive into my computer, and play through the original Arthas and Illiden story in order to wash off this stench of modern WoW lore.

    Loki

    As someone who has never read a marvel comic, all the other Loki characters meant nothing and the episode was rather dull. The smoke monster looked better than Lost though, so it has that going for it.

    Rick and Morty

    The beginning was looking good, but the second half was mediocre and turned into one of the worst episodes, in terms of laughs. They can't all be zingers though, and after last week, they can shit out a few bombs, and still round out a great season.
