I would say that Deadfire lends the player a lot of leeway. My first playthrough I just came off the heels of the first game where I didn't fully understand the mechanics, and in the second game I understood them even less but just kinda brute forced it? I didn't understand how accuracy and defenses worked, I only really understood penetration. Even on my current play through, I'm trying to fully understand the mechanics and I've been wanting a hard wall, like the Adra Dragon in POE1, so I can learn how to properly buff my party and manage their skills and AI but the game just keeps giving me victories and it's strange.

Hello, last time I was in Grounded 2 (few weeks ago) I had found and started using the Heat Wave Staff. Accidently ran into the wolf spider lurking around the area and promptly died. During my death the Heat Wave vanished and it's never been seen since. Tried to recall bag's to see if that may trigger it but alas, nothing. I'm thinking it fell through the ground and is now unreachable? I did go back to where it spawns and it is not there either. P.s. Support page doesn't allow to submit to it.

tax haven are so stupid who benefit other than the megacorp

Base building is one of my favorite parts of this game, I know there’s been a lot of emphasis on the combat for the second one and it shows, the combat seems a lot better with the changes they’ve been made. But I’m really hoping you’ll add onto the already vast array of building improvements. Some things I’d like to see. PAINT THE WALLS thematically it should work well since bugs have been used to make dyes anyway, I really just want the ability to paint my walls a different color. (I’d also love it if this could be applied to armor too.) ELEVATORS I can see there’s an idea forming with the ominent elevators, but I’ll be honest I hate that, I really enjoy the crude architecture that we get to build in this game, if it’s possible I’d much rather see some old school tree house pully style elevator. SHOWERS I think it’d be pretty cool to introduce showers, a hygiene mechanic might be a big shift and I’m not even sure I’d want it, but I think a buff to your stats after a shower/bath would be pretty cool. DECORATIONS Honestly the more the merrier, I really just like building up my base with tables, chairs, paintings, and more. Maybe some more styles of beds would be cool, I’d also like to see a mirror. I also think a radio with a few different music settings would be cool, maybe the stuffed buggies would “shake,” when music is playing due to the sound vibrations? CLOSING NOTE i absolutely love this game and I hope you guys keep doing updates and keep adding more content to make this game one I can play for a while. I logged so many hours with grounded 1, and I’m already addicted to the second game too.

So you understand why Israel wont let Iran get nukes and they will resort to military actions to prevent this Its the same principle for the US and Russia?

All in good timefor sure ...... we will definitely get a bigger mantis since its only the mantis nymph we have in the early access. For sure they'll throw in a King Scorpion boss fight in there with a Scorpion King reference

The fifth teen angle makes sense given how fixated she is on the other 4 teens and her fixation on destroying ominent could be because she used to work for ominent in some capacity and then got betrayed coz it feels too personal for her. She could be a kid of an ominent employee. Woudn't be surprised if it was Beaumont's kid lol .

I for one have never kept dozens consumable until the final boss, which were useless on the final boss fight. Anyone saying I did otherwise is a liar.

Any Ukrainian move towards acquiring nukes would immediately trigger a full-on Russian assault to overthrow its government and take over the country--at whatever cost including using tac nukes if necessary. Any government in Washington would do the same if Mexico were to ever pursue nukes (or an alliance with Russia/China).

If the US committed itself to fight, it will. If it did not, then probably no. OTOH, with the Europeans, even if they give a commitment to fight, I would not consider it credible or trustworthy. Btw, this is why I believe very strongly that Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states should enter into bilateral security guarantees with the US and possibly UK. Trusting that (European) NATO will defend them is folly which they will surely come to regret.

Once again it is GamePass time. With Outer Worlds2 coming in October, and games I want to play piling up in gamepass I figured it's a good time to resubscribe and tick few of those off. So here is a list so far: 1) FTC: Firebreak - Remedy's Left4Dead-like. Ehhhh. It's not terrible, but also not particularly interesting. Gameplay is very basic, missions get old very quickly, and matches are either fairly dull (if everyone know what they are doing) or frustrating (if one or two people don't fulfill their roles). It's an ok time waster with a friend, but I think I had enough of it in a solo que. I might jump back again later after few updates, but I wouldn't recommend paying money for it. Sorry, Remedy. 2) I gave new Commandos: Origins game a go. Eh, didn't play much so far, but my impression isn't much different than from a demo - it seems like a clunkier, far less polished version of Mimimi's take on the genre. They just haven't presented any interesting challenges so far, and character kits seem basic. 3) South of Midnight - again not very deep so far. Look beautiful, and I like the vibe. Initial impression of gameplay is that it will likely not amount to much. Feels like a very basic action platformer thing 3) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - that's been my main thing for the last two weeks. It's great! Fairly contained jRPG, with all that I like about genre but none of the tedium. Combat is straightforward but engaging. Vibe and story is the highlight - great soundtrack, compelling character writing, I am yet to decide on plot - it is shaping to be a bit more straightforward than I was hoping for, but we will see - I am confident a big twist is just ahead of me. Perhaps not a groundbreaking game, but with a lot of heart and passion. 4) The Rogue Prince of Persia - it's really good. Sharp artstyle, and really enjoyable gameplay. They are also doing some smart story thing - not quite copying Supergiant's work in Hades, but still managing to naturally weave story into it's rogue-lite structure.

Every teen loves pizza and so do gamers! With the Community Garden in development, cherry tomatoes would be a great plant to have with in the garden. Think blueberry bush size bush but cherry tomatoes. Same mechanics only harvesting cherry tomato to put in grinder to make "tomato paste". Grind grass seed to make "flour" bake those with " whatever bug loot chunk developers desire" to bake pizza. I can just imagine the teens audio reactions to eating a bug meat pizza.

As the teen, being forced to a scavenge and then hunt. You would think that Blueberries, a food that they are familiar with, sold at a grocery store, or even grown at a parent's home. Would be juicy treat. Bringing up hunger and thirst meter marginally when eating a chunk. It could also be baked in the oven if you ground up grass seed into a type of flour and make "blueberry tart" or something equivalent. I definitely feel grinding grass seeds for flour could open up a whole bunch of new food recipes. I would love to see cherry tomatoes added to the community garden. Then grind tomato into tomato paste and use grass flour to make every teenager food staple "pizza".

S2 looks excellent, I cant wait

We need more icons for our chest storage!

Even GDP (PPP) per capita isn't the greatest metric, as it doesn't show how capital has been divided in the country. Ireland is good example where GDP (PPP) per capita does not give accurate picture how much average Irish person has money, because they have inflated GDP because they have so many mega corporates flowing money through Ireland, but most of the Irish don't benefit from that money, because corporate taxes there are so low and corporations don't really invest in Ireland.

Reminder: the only GDP that really matters is the Purchase Price Parity variety. And really, GDP (PPP) per capita since that tells you how well the people it's relevant to are actually doing- or at least, is the best general and handy measurement of it there is. China is 78th, there. GDP (nominal) is an awful measurement and it's use is responsible for a lot of extremely bad economic management.

There has been a certain amount of revisionism about Ukraine 'giving up her nukes'. It- and the offer to Belarus and Khazakstan too- was not really an offer. One way or another they were not going to have them. And that was policy not just of Russia but of everyone else too. People tend to forget the very real fears about nukes disappearing post soviet break up because it didn't end up happening, and one of the main reasons it didn't was them being consolidated.

Hey Everyone, While playing this game, I've tried to enjoy it but there's several things that have really become a problem. You Buggy will be knocked out stuck at 0 While this means I've got more time to revive, sometimes this doesn't come up when loading in and I can't find them or they're not in the radial. Bags stuck under the map A lot of time when we've died, our bags end up under the map and we can't retrieve them but the bag icons will forever remain on the screen. It's difficult to know where to find the necessary resources While we need to upgrade weapons and stuff, it's not clear on where we find these. Or if a object will produce the required resource./ It would be great if you could have a system like Fallout 4 where you could tag what you needed and the resource would highlight in the world that you needed/searching for it. I think there's others that im missing, but this is the big things that we've found so far.

"texas get the extra seat it wanted time to see if this escalate" Newscum 2028!

3 Women (1977). Second time watching this. I didn't remember it being quite this potent a nightmare. Robert Altman was really off his marbles, but I'm glad he was able to make a truly great movie with Shelley Duvall here - I both despise and love her in this movie, and that's a very strange place for her to be and I think that's wonderful.

What do you mean NATO proxy? What is the difference between a NATO member like Sweden and a NATO proxy?

I agree but the nuke idea as a security guarantee is over If Ukraine hadn't abandoned its nukes you right, Russia would never had invaded But thats not realistic anymore. I dont support any new country getting nukes and that includes Iran or Ukraine
