    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I played and beat the entire Black Isle line as a teenager back when they were first released, but I haven't touched them in 20ish years. I honestly don't remember too much about them other than I loved them. Are the enhanced versions really worth playing now? I've seen a lot of mixed/polarized...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The YouTube AI converts all content to a transcript and indexes the 'trigger' words. Content with those words in it is either immediately demonitized through algorithm or reviewed by human eyes for wrongthink (and demonetization.)

    The Division 2

    It's a great game. I played it continuously for close to three weeks and had a lot of fun... until I didn't. I don't think I've ever had my enjoyment of a game fall off so precipitously.

    This is probably heresy, but I have always thought Minsc and Boo were lame as fuck.

    I'm not surprised in the least. We can only hope that the woke mafia has minimal influence.

    I'm incredibly excited about this. The next few years are going to be a gaming orgasm for me. BG:3, the Vampire sequel, Wasteland 3, and obviously 2077.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm actually excited for them to be heading the project. DoS: 2 had some pretty glaring issues, but the game was amazing. I do hope that the BG:3 retains the gritty feel of the first two. Some people really enjoy campy RPGs, but I absolutely hate them.

    I actually find Critical Role quite palatable (at least in the 60 or so episodes of season 2 that I have watched) relative to a lot of other work. Granted, I completely avoid getting to know anything about any of the CR cast outside of what I learn through their weekly stream. It's just become...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Related YouTube videos, WotC employee/affiliate interview transcripts, social media posts, etc. There's just so much noise. For example: a few weeks ago, D&D Beyond published a YouTube video about racism/inter-sectional bias (lol..........) on their channel. They interviewed a Black woman about...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I'm going to wholeheartedly disagree about WoTC. The entire company is infected with rampant SJWism. If you don't see it, you're not paying enough attention. Good for you though. I wish I could have stayed ignorant to it, but I love D&D and I consume a lot of extra content. So, for me, it's...

    Health Problems

    I've never used Kratom, but I've learned a lot about it and I'm not an advocate. Much of the information floating around (including much of the Netflix documentary) is false or half-truth. In addition to being completely unregulated, it IS addictive. Granted, it's a lot less potent than...

    There's no doubt in my mind it'll be 5E. Anything else would be absolute retardation.

    Health Problems

    If you're going to taper, your best bet is to just do it yourself and never mention it to a doctor. As Jay said, it's difficult, but in reality you're be better off just slowly reducing your dose by using a pill cutter. Doctors typically taper people off WAY too fast (usually 30 days) yet you...

    Health Problems

    Pain meds can suck a dick. I've had 3 spinal fusions (C5-6, C6-7. and L4-5), but I still live in a 4/5 level of daily pain. It occasionally spikes to a 6/7 when I tweak it in the gym, but the baseline is constant. I literally never get a break from it. Because of it, I took Oxycodone-10 4/day...

    I would. The expansion and update aren't too far out.

    This game is included with the Origin sub now.

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker

    This game is fucking amazing. However, I was a day 1 purchaser and h...o....l...y fuck was it an infuriating experience. Early on the game was so buggy that it was more likely than not that you'd encounter a game-ending bug. I'm near the end of the game with my original save, but it's only...

    The Division 2

    I haven't played in ~2 weeks and really don't have any desire to log in despite not having played the raid yet. It's been a long time since I have enjoyed a game as much as I did Division 2 and then have the fun, suddenly, fall off a cliff. D2 is a great game, but I really can't pin down why I...

    Ya, even in scenarios where I might let a player persuade me to allow them, I'd limit firearms to pistols. The difference between pistols and any rifle is HUGE. Much less a chance in hell that I'm introducing sniper rifles.

    The D&D thread

    DM here. I honestly don't know how I feel about them. On one hand, I really dislike them for no other reason than I prefer a more traditional fantasy setting, but there are also more than a couple scenarios where they not only make sense, they add a lot of flavor. All considered, I generally...

    The D&D thread

    Thanks a ton! It's infinitely better than anything I can do. It helps because I'm competent enough with GIMP to resize it, print it on heavy cardstock, seal it with packing tape, and put it on a base.

    I'm absolutely atrocious with photo editing. Would one of you be kind enough to Photoshop a medium sized shield in the left hand of the fighter? I'm really trying hard to accommodate one of my really poor players by giving her a mini that is close as I can get to resembling her character. It...

    Without Sweeney, and to a lesser degree, Wednesday there is no show.

    American Gods

    Yep, it's all contrived SJW pandering. I'm getting to the point where I almost can't watch shows/streams because even when those narratives aren't ridiculously shoehorned in and subsequently shoved down our throats, I've become so hypersensitive to the sheer amount of bullshit in 'entertainment'...

    Health Problems

    There are a lot of heavy proponents of sub-q. Many of them believe it helps reduce aromatization. I honestly don't know how much more or less valuable it is. There's not enough hard evidence. Personally, I'm just doing traditional intramuscular. I draw with an 18 and inject with a 27 in my...

    American Gods

    I really enjoyed this show until episode 204/205. It's completely infected with the SJW narrative of 'white people are the devil, continue to oppress Wakandans, and are responsible for all problems in the world.' Seriously, fuck this show.

    Health Problems

    Well, for whatever reason my natural Testosterone gains were short-lived. I've had it checked two more times recently and I was back in the 300ish range. So, I finally pulled the trigger on TRT. I'm doing injections every 3rd day (.3 cc of 200mg strength solution of 80% cypionate and 20%...

    Critical Roll Animated Special

    That's a really good point, but GoT is far too low-magic to qualify in my opinion. It seems as if every time magic is injected into a drama, it gets turned in to some over-the-top whimsical, everyone-is-a-fucking-faggot-fairy with terrible jokes, story.

    Critical Roll Animated Special

    Pretty sure it's just an April Fool's joke. Assuming it's not, I feel the same way. I am really hoping the series isn't too campy or tries too hard to be funny too often. Nearly every D&D movie, show, and series in the past has suffered from terrible production quality in addition to just not...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    I left a negative comment on the Paradox Interactive YouTube trailer and it lasted less than a day.

    The Division 2

    if I'm not mistaken, the devs have stated that the requirements are hyper-inflated and set to be fixed soon.

    The Division 2

    I might be doing it completely wrong, but I have totally abandoned crit for ARs. I focus entirely on weapon damage and headshot damage. I also have 91% elite damage because the red/purple dudes are a joke. Also, don't sleep on weapon handling. It's accuracy, stability, and reload speed in one.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Yep, one of the best games ever made. The dedicated fan mod community has also done a fantastic job with the original. I have been waiting a very long time for a sequel or new game with the same license. Recently, I have been hoping that CD would do it after Cyberpunk 2077.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I hope he recovers. I have no idea what you two are going through, but I lost my younger brother 3 years ago last month (he was 37 when he died) and it was the single-most traumatic experience of my life due to all the related circumstances. The last year of his life he repeatedly asked me to...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I've quit playing it entirely myself. I was willing deal with a lot of the obvious flaws because I was having 'some' fun, but the community keeps revealing back-end systems that are absolutely ridiculous. Bioware wacks one mole and two more appear. Besides, Division 2 is a MUCH, MUCH better game.

    I caved and bought the standard edition. I got it from GMG for $52 and got a copy of Ghost Recon: Wildlands with it for free, too. Until Friday.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Well, before release I expected to squeeze a month or so out of Anthem, but my interest is already waning. It's a shame, because the game has a solid foundation. Unfortunately the execution has been rough. The biggest problem, for me, is that there just isn't enough content/variation and my bar...

    My best friend eats pork rinds while we play just to fuck with me. I only tolerate it because we've been friends for 30 years and he's on the take-a-bullet-for level.
