I'm a creature of habit and rarely visit any other parts of these forums outside of my usual and had no idea there was a thread about Misc refugees. I was a Miscer for years, but stopped visiting around 2014. The place was great. Until it wasn't. Similar to here, the amount of absolutely...

I never attacked anyone first, but on the raids I used a key, I was prepared to. The simple lack of self-awareness of someone coming in and not immediately leaving would be enough for me to mow them down. If I spend a key to open a locked door, I have claimed the room and everything in it. If...

Two of the most common, preventable reasons that a card dies are: 1. Not being supported. Please, for the love of everything, use the support bracket that comes with the card and if it doesn't, find something that can prop that front right corner (assuming standard build) up. 2. Running them...

My rig (paid $1950 total) is a 7800x3D, 7900 XTX , and 32 gigs of RAM. I play at 1440p and it more than handles everything that I throw at it. I was thinking about moving up to 4k when the 60 series drops, but I'm definitely not paying $5k+ for a fucking card.

I powered through my absolute hatred of being betrayed by fake-friendlies and played this several hundred hours, but I had no interest in the reset and my desire to play fell off like a rock after having done everything the game had to offer. I have less than zero interest in the PvP because the...

I'm talking about Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. How did you come to the conclusion that the game isn't a huge success? The game was developed by a studio of ~50 for ~10-12 million dollars and it has sold ~700,000 copies (so far). I have no idea how many copies of the expansion have been sold...

I've played every game you mentioned and glad to see another man of culture. Wasteland 2 and 3 are great games that don't get enough praise. There are several other games in the genre that you might try: 1. Tunguska 2. Raiders! Forsaken Earth (same tone but more strategy-based) 3. Encased 4...

I've been closely watching this game since release and even played the demo for a few hours. I really liked it, but what's prevented me from buying it is that A LOT of people say the longer you play the more the quality falls off and by Act III, the game is below-average. My hope is that the...

I was beside myself with anticipation for this game when it was announced, but the recent trailer and the departure of one of its founders has completely tanked my excitement. Exodus looks like it's far more likely to be a painfully average game than what we all hoped for.

I have a 1080 and a 3080 that have been sitting around collecting dust for years. Both are in perfect working order. What are your collective opinions on their value?

Never said she was, but she's all over the trailers and she's a huge part of the season -- right? I don't understand the point of your post.

So glad I didn't waste any time with this crap.

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of this show. It's just violence, blood, and sex. Brainless, enjoyable entertainment. I gave this season a shot despite all the clues suggesting some jogger Shanequa was going to be the star and never made it beyond half way through the first episode...

The modern language and edge guts my enjoyment for something I would love to love. Also, the 6th grade dick and buttsex jokes would be funny if they weren't in literally every episode, every season, in both series'. I didn't hate the M9, but I didn't love it. It had some genuinely cool moments...

I know I'm adding to the derail, but my inner D&D nerd can't help it. I really liked 2e (although I haven't played it in many years) because the aesthetic was amazing, the lore was great, and the classes were distinct. Unlike 5e where almost everyone has some form of magic and many classes are...

That creature is the physical embodiment of MtG and WotC these days.

I don't often visit this thread, but I started playing during Revised and completely nope'd out of Magic in 2016 after playing the game hardcore all the way to the Pro Tour level. My last PT was Oath of the Gatewatch (I did horribly, but I was alone and took a longshot by trying to break the...

No. When you're naked, you have a safe slot that you can put an item in that you'll keep even if you fail to extract. It's not the only source of safe slot(s), but it's certainly the cheapest.

2e is what I cut my teeth on and will always be my favorite edition. It has so much incredible lore and worldbuilding (as does 3e) in the mountain of content available for it and the art is some of the best that has ever been painted for D&D. For those of you that haven't visited the D&D thread...

That's a really bad strategy because the tools to determine its use are extremely reliable and companies that lie to their customers tend to get wrecked.

I'm not going to bother typing out all my thoughts on AI because it would be a massive wall of paragraphs, but it's something I have spent a HUGE amount of time learning about and I'll summarize my thoughts. Like it or not, AI becoming omnipresent is inevitable and the rate at which companies...

I remember being ready to burst when Torment: Tides of Numenera's development was announced, but I will never, ever, ever forgive inXile for the absolute fucking train wreck that game ended up being. It had the potential to be great (and some elements of it were), but it was a clunky, poorly...

The DoS series and BG 3 are two totally different games despite both being CRPGs. DoS I/II are great and have their own charm, but the production value of BG 3 is absolutely extraordinary. It's objectively the better of the two examples you offered. If you want to break into the tabletop-to-PC...

While I've never actually played a single minute of Pathfinder, I own everything printed for 2e and have a shit ton of 1e books (including a physical copy of literally every 1e adventure path ever printed). I bought the material because it's only one step removed from D&D and I like to have a...

There's a YouTube video where a guy tested the theory you guys are referring to. Granted, it's one anecdote, but his findings were extremely persuasive. If you genuinely don't fuck with people, it's seems likely that the matchmaking algorithm is going to do its best to pair you with players...

I played the demo months ago and it's a huge upgrade to the original. The first game was extremely sound mechanically, but it had a lot of jank. Namely the voice acting, weak narrative, and the character models were ass, but what they did with the budget they had was nothing short of amazing...

Yeah. I actually Googled his height to see if he was abnormally short. Dude is listed at 5'9", but his dome makes him look like he has dwarfism.

I hate those type of cunts so much, that my dick literally cannot get hard for those mentally-ill harpies. I find them absolutely fucking revolting.

The incredibly dark, gritty nature of that trailer goes a long way to soften my fear that Larian's next game will have too much lame 'comedy.' It's just CGI, but the tone looks amazing and with what they were able to do with BG3, it has me very excited.

The, obviously, desperate Star Wars brand deal absolutely cemented me never touching Destiny again because the SW brand has been so catastrophically fagged up and poisoned over the last decade, anything with the label makes me physically ill. Andor has been the only exception for many, many...

I still rate the DoS series as some of the best RPGs ever made, but I genuinely hope they reduce the amount of the lame-ass comedy in the 3rd installment. I appreciate moments of levity, but when the "hue hue hue" slapstick comedy is baked in, it really detracts from the game.

This has been in my library forever and I haven't played it. Thanks for the reminder.

With highly fantastical/unrealistic settings, the studio can obscure some of the narrative weakness within the folds of the 'fantasy,' but games that are much more grounded in reality are given a lot less narrative leeway. I agree with you that there have been a million games done with a super...

Given the limitations of the setting, this game is going to require exceptionally good writing and narrative. Right now, both elements are exceedingly rare. All we can do is hope for the best. If this is ass, maybe Exodus will scratch the itch.

I definitely agree. Just watching the video was making me slightly dizzy and I have never had that happen despite playing 1000s of games.

I'm not the least bit surprised about the console vs. PC disparity. However, several of the faggots that have betrayed me were pathetic wanna-be streamers with TV or TTV in their name(s). Probably looking to get a 'funny' clip for their 3 viewers. I don't know shit about streaming and have...

I finally got around to playing the demo and I really enjoyed it. Though, I'm sure much of my appreciation is the fact that I am a huge D&D fan (TSR and pre-woke WotC). The demo is quite short and it uses the 1st edition ruleset and it's fairly faithful to the old-school dungeon crawl type of...

This game is still gay as fuck, but adding Gambit as a Strategist is a siren song I'm not sure I can resist.

I think I figured out why there seemed to be two completely different vibes when I would do raids in free loadouts vs. being pimped out. Apparently, there's gear-based matchmaking and most players have been made aware of this by watching streamers. In retrospect, I should have assumed the gear...

Those have to be relatively common because I found all of those, too. The only other blueprints I found were a glowstick and wolfpack grenade. I genuinely hate that this game really does make me legitimately angry. The most fun I had was spawning in with the free loadout and giving zero fucks...
