I think in some aspects Bazzite are better than SteamOS. It literally started as an alternative to SteamOS for the Deck.

What CRPGs have level scaling? I think almost every CRPG that I played doesn’t have any level scaling.

Hot take, Michael Kirkbride carried TES lore. Even the interesting parts of Skyrim is based from his writing.

Is it PITA to run if you have Nvidia GPU?

I love their Adventure Path conversion that is basically straight up a single game worth of content per act. Although the way that the way that they implemented the rules is basically like having a DM that is your partner’s ex.

It was surprisingly chill. Hasan was super patient with him though.

Although it’s very dangerous to play the game if you had mental illness history. Playing the game triggered a psychosis episode for my friend who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

This committee based development method has to end.

The ports itself are good. It’s the suits are fucking shit up. Typical capitalism enshittification story.

Been waiting since 2012. Tried some early builds too, will be very excited to play Skywind it releases eventually.

NWN 2 MotB remake in BG3 engine and 5E plox

If you treat people better, then how’re you going to be able to get your 5th yacht and your 3rd private jet?

TBF he not finishing MGS5 is more attributed to Konami fuckery.

TBH it’ll be better for them and Halo T_T

The thing is, Valve works mostly as a collective with mostly flat structure. So there can’t be a higher up ordering people around to make HL3. The whole team needs to believe in it.

Just hire Kirkbride back goddamnit. I installed Immortals of Aveum and saw that Kirkbride is the main writer and got pumped on the game but that damn thing keeps crashing on me. So I’m back to just playing Diablo or Minecraft for the time being.

It’s all offset by the small screen. Playing Ghost of Tsushima on low-medium graphics coupled with frame gen is chef’s kiss on a handheld.

Just hand over the reins to Obsidian and it’ll be 10x better than what Bethesda can produce.

It might depend on which part of the world they live in. In the West? Not so much. But in a third world country? It might very well be a day’s work wage.

Ahh, reminds me of grinding for reputation so I can get the Cutter and Corvette. I still keep Elite installed and still waiting to get the will to start that game. Odyssey really left a bad taste on my mouth.

CDPR effectively rewrote the campaign after Keanu Reeves told them that he’s game if CDPR wants to record more lines. I still remember the E3 demo where CDPR said that the campaign has been completed and they’re just in the polishing stages.

There’s no anticheat in the game?

The bonfire mechanic (meditation spots), enemies respawn every time you rest (meditate), XP that is lost when you die. Hack and slash combat that rewards good dodge and parry timings.

It’s more of a Soulslite because there’s basically a checkpoint for the perk points that is permanent after you get it. There are also difficulty settings in the game that adjust the damage that you receive and the parry window.

This is out of the topic of the Souls element of the game, but I love the realistic combat modifier in NG+ where the battles are much more realistic where you and the enemies will die after getting one or two hits. It’s similar to the Lethal difficulty on Ghost of Tsushima. Made the game much more enjoyable and made you really feel like you’re playing a Kurosawa movie.

I thought the Jedi games are more like souls lite metroidvania games. Scratched that itch for a Star Wars game. From the article it seems that they’re making an FPS. I hope it’s more of a Titanfall 2 main campaign type of game.

That’s why you play in honor mode :p

All jokes aside, I had the most blast playing the game when going in blind on a Dark Urge playthru with honor mode.

I asked Bard whether they could make a bastardization of rogersimon10 post and it made this:

Ah, the 2012 Fiesta EcoBoost. A pocket rocket some called it, a ticking time bomb I preferred. Owned one myself, sunshine yellow with a dent shaped like a screaming Muppet (courtesy of a rogue shopping cart). Let me tell you, that car was less a vehicle and more a high-octane game of Russian roulette with pistons.

Every morning was a gamble. Would she purr to life like a hungover kitten, or unleash a symphony of coughs, bangs, and the ominous "Check Engine" light disco? One day, the radio spontaneously switched to polka, which, let's be honest, is only two steps away from a thermonuclear detonation in a Fiesta's internal combustion fiesta.

Speaking of fiestas, the fuel gauge was as reliable as a politician's promise. One minute it was brimming, the next it was flashing "Bone Dry, Mate," even if I'd just filled it. Learned to carry a jerrycan like a Prohibition-era bootlegger, never knowing when the engine's thirst would strike.

But oh, the things that little lemon could do! On a good day, that turbocharged engine was like a caffeinated hummingbird on steroids. Weaving through traffic, leaving Audis in the dust (until their turbos spooled up, of course). Handling? Razor sharp, unless you hit a pebble, then it was suddenly a drunken ballerina on roller skates.

Comfort? Ha! The seats were about as plush as a park bench, and the suspension was tuned for "Feel Every Pebble in the County." But hey, it kept you awake, which was essential considering the constant fear of spontaneous combustion.

In the end, I sold the Fiesta to a circus clown for a fistful of juggling pins and a lifetime supply of those tiny, uncomfortable hats. He seemed thrilled, probably because the polka radio was a bonus feature for him.

So, would I recommend a 2012 Fiesta EcoBoost? Only if you enjoy existential dread, questionable fuel efficiency, and the thrill of living life on the edge (of a breakdown). Otherwise, stick to something safer, like a heavily sedated hamster. You'll thank me later.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a tow truck and a very suspicious mechanic who keeps asking about "jumper cables." Wish me luck.

P.S. Don't forget the jumper cables. Seriously. You'll thank me later.

It depends on the game. Japanese devs are notorious for adding new content in NG+ runs. A good example is Armored Core 6 where you can still get new content up to NG++ and the one that takes this to an extreme is Nier Automata where the meat of the game is the NG+ runs.

If you’re a HP fan the game is a no-brainer. But if not I suggest finding another AAA RPG game. I borrowed my friend’s copy via family sharing and I only got maybe around 4-5 hours in before I got bored and uninstalled the game.

Just bouncing between Overwatch 2 and MW3 as currently I’m still burned out playing SP games since playing AC6 to NG++, AW2 on hard, miraculously managed to finish a durge honor mode run (this is what burned me out, too stressful playing CRPGs with only 1 save, with a durge run at that).

I’ve also found that Warzone 3 is surprisingly good so most of my old Warzone 1 squad are reinstalling the game and we started playing together again.

If you don’t have much experience playing CRPGs I think it can be quite difficult. But once you get the hang of building classes, even honor mode will definitely be doable.

Finished a durge run on BG3 honor mode last week so I’m quite burned out playing single player games ATM. So just bouncing around the Finals and Overwatch 2. Actually my old COVID gaming group got together to play Warzone since they reverted the movement back to the old MW19 I just might buy MW3 just to save my sanity of leveling the guns. I think that’s the main purpose of the MP versions of COD, just a guns leveling pass for the yearly weapons drop.

Is this true? AFAIK the reason sometimes the launcher took a lot of resources to run is because Epic actually uses UE to make EGS.

With the addition of Honour mode in BG3 I decided to finally start a Dark Urge playthru for the first time. It’s been a wild ride, Shart and Gale died and I almost lost everyone in my party lol.

I hated the magical + physical armor parts in the D:OS mechanic. I think using a DnD ruleset instead of their own helps BG3 mainstream success. This is anecdotal evidence but I have a friend that is unable to play D:OS2 but loves BG3 very much.

I played em both and even did a secret ending run. Love both but it’s based on PF1e and it’s still built with RTWP by default. I love the various origin characters that Larian made for BG3 and D:OS2 that made your party members feel like real characters that have their own motivations unlike other RPGs that have your companion to be more like henchmen.

Larian pls make a new series based on the Pathfinder ruleset. I think the success of BG3 has helped the mainstream to get used to DnD ruleset. Although Pathfinder is more complex, I think they have the chops to make it more accessible to the masses.

I feel ya on the MMOishness of D4. When you’re doing an event and all of a sudden a 100 level guy comes in and destroys everything in 0.5 second it can ruin the immersion somewhat.

Yea, I only played D4 again after finishing Starfield, BG3, AC6 (till NG++), and AW2 (definitely will play again when the NG+ dropped).

I’m playing season two. It’s quite decent, a good game for me to decompress. TBH I played pre-season until WT4 and stopped at level 79. This season is much more streamlined and I’m currently on level 75 after 1/3 of the time played vs my pre-season char. I’ll give Last Epoch a whirl after beating all the endgame bosses.

Still pisses me off about Rocket League. It has the potential to be a big eSports game but even when Psyonix is still independent they still fumble the eSports management.

I’m using Fold 5 and can tell a difference in scrolling performance between Samsung Internet and Firefox. There are also some issues regarding how the UI handles transition between folded to unfolded and vice versa.

This is a known issue
