Was just checking on feedback for my Deadfire gamefaqs guide as I consider another update, and saw that I had gotten one note that my guide wasn't helpful. The reasoning given behind that rating was that I had made no mention of or given advice on a shieldbearer paladin companion. Uh, a companion that most certainly does not actually exist in the game. I dare not actually write out more in case some bot crawler crawls this page and mistakenly interprets my post as more evidence that this companion exists to the next hapless person who asks about it. I'm not even sure where they got it from, since asking Gemini about it doesn't reveal anything. What an age we live in.

Have no issue with celebrities sharing their takes on things, everyone else shares their stances or causes with wildly varying degrees of informed status. Wager a good chunk of people praising Gervais spend their time watching Asmongold or Loomer.

Since the news has broke that The Outer Worlds 2 underperformed sales-wise, and that there will be no third one, will the 2 promised DLCs for TOW2 still be coming out? Haven't exactly heard any real news about it.

in case google drive goes down pillars.py

worked for me thanks

Yep, it's the formula.

Looks like if there was a truce on Ukraine's energy sector- and even Zelensky seems to think it was a request only in his daily briefing- it's well and truly over after last night. Ukraine admits to 71 strikes getting through as well, which is unusual.

I know this has been talked about alot but one of the biggest issues with me playing the game right now is the hot bar not working. It wont save keybinds and having 6,7,8 forced on the hot bar makes those items basically unusable in combat. I like to play on hard and like to heal or use items and i usually have my closer key binds for weapons to switch to. I believe you guys will iron out this game like you did with Grounded 1 but as it stands i can barely play and its a huge bummer. Grounded 1 is amazing and I truly believe you all perfected it and am excited to see some of these issues fixed for Grounded 2. I wish these issues would get fixed before adding more content though, because coming from a seamless Grounded 1 experience makes playing Grounded 2 really unenjoyable. I do have hope though and cant imagine these fixes are easy so im willing to wait. Thank you for a great game and im excited for the future.

The sheep were bleating. If you told anyone that you actually meant the sheep bleated once, they'd think you mental. So, show your homework. If you didn't mean that, yet wrote it to stay in character, that is your fault not mine. Not the first time you've claimed people misrepresent you when it's your deliberate shtick that's the problem, and it's you misrepresenting yourself. Absolute Classic Gromnir. It's other peoples' fault that they aren't blessed with literal telepathy. No, you didn't. Your immediate response was: "oh and low energy zor is not gonna once again cowardly retreat from his blix misrepresentation. can't even be bothered to literal google "hans blix berkeley"?" I can understand you not wanting to write the correct response you made, because it makes you look like a massive hypocrite again due to refusing to provide sources- the thing you started complaining about here. Classic Gromnir. Accuses someone else of misrepresentation, then proceeds to do exactly what he accuses them of, accuses someone else of not providing sources, didn't provide them himself. No. Again, you're hiding behind Gromnir speak as an excuse. Again. You offered it as an option, and you've certainly misrepresented what you said at the time up to and including deciding that or . Classic Gromnir, accusing someone else of doing the same thing. That's what you said in defence; as if you cannot offer mutually exclusive options like eating a cake, or not. That either betrays complete ignorance of the meaning of words, or... I struggle for a different interpretation except the obvious one: you cannot stand being wrong or looking bad. Most people wouldn't care about being called on a stupid rhetorical device since it's a stupid rhetorical device, you obviously do. Either way: literal lol moment that. Jesus, this is embarrassing even for you. So, according to Gromnir searching for the thing you're looking for is 'ridiculous'. So, so, if you're looking for a specific recipe, just do a search for 'recipe'. If you're looking for information on a Toyota corolla, do a search for 'car'. If you're looking for information on measles do a search for 'disease'. Or maybe that's too precise for all of them, and you should just do a search for 'humans'. I'd call that reductio ad absurdum, except your whole argument starts off absurd. One might even say it's ridiculous. Double Classic Gromnir: say something objectively ridiculous like you shouldn't search for what you are looking for and doing so is 'ridiculous' and once again try projectile vomiting information at the screen in the hope the other person Just Gives Up.

Avatar: Fire and Ash As usual an amazing visual spectacular as well as a particularly long watch. Why does it feel like every Avatar movie has the same plot, with minor variations for flavoring? Is it the climactic battle scenes?

That's upsetting. These games are very much for me. I don't finish a lot of games, but for some reason, Avowed and OW2 captured my attention and held it until the end. I'm disappointed that they aren't doing better financially. In comparison, while I enjoyed BG3, I never finished it. They did seem to do well critically, so I hope it isn't just unreasonable sales expectations. I don't know, I just hope Obsidian doesn't end up in another hole. They've been remarkably resilient so far.

Agreed. I actually don't really mind the audio change, but I don't like the vignette/haze overlay. I can even understand it with the regular gas mask to some extent, as it's a task-specific mask which has no set of its own, but the Mantis Armour has a set bonus, like the other sets. I don't think you should have to put up with the view restrictions to wear the full set in first-person.

Rock Paper ShotgunThe Outer Worlds 2 sounds like it's not getting a follow-...Obsidian have revealed they aren't working on The Outer Worlds 3,but have plans to make more games in Avowed's fantasy setting Eora.1) releasing three games within same year: Not their intention, and don't want to do it again. 2) Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 didn't meet Microsoft's sale targets 3) No Outer Worlds3 in development 4) more titles in the setting in Eora - whenever it is Avowed2, Pillars of Eternity3 or something else entirely.

In such cases it is best to avoid the boss for now and explore more in the open world. You need to find scadutree fragments to upgrade your blessings. The more you have, the more damage you can take and dish out. Once I've hit the 12 blessings, most content in the DLC became easy, with the exception being Radahn, that bitch. I have started NG+ now and played a little more. The bosses were still easy, but some of the open world mobs got a lot tougher.

Ricky Gervais telling celebs to make political speeches is a celeb making a political speech. Also I can't remember the last time I've seen Gervais do something, I guess being anti-anti-ICE is him fishing for a spot in the Roganverse. Anyways, I think ICE Out pins is the bare minimum. I'm not expecting for Bad Bunny to personally stand in the way of Trump's secret police kidnapping children to deport to Epstein Island 2.0 God knows where, but kicking cash to help the people that are is good and if these guys already are (I believe Eilish is) then good on them. I still think the everyday resistance of normal folks in places where ICE is invading is more notable.

I just encountered this exact same issue on Xbox.

Hey guys, can someone Tell me why i cant save my game, i always need to start from the beginning and it sucks.

Eilish has given 22% of her net worth to charity, so it isn't just performative for her. She seems to be focused on green initiatives.

I hate it when certain boss fights don't let you summon spirit ashes. Killed the first boss in the DLC (the lion faced fella) on my first try but that two sworded mini boss fight...I think I tried it 20 times and I still can't beat him. He has two swords and an endless stamina bar. He either shoots at you with the crossbow or just charges at you like a bull. I hate such boss fights. Doesn't give you a break once he starts attacking.

I mean, there is no shame in taking a break. I've bought Elden Ring on release, played it for like a month straight and then stopped. A year later I picked it up again, played for a while, stopped again. Middle of last year I finally completed it, then went into the DLC... and after like half of it took a break again to finally finish it last week. This game is so big and it can get very tedious with the continuous attempts on bosses etc.. getting burnt out feels like a natural part of it at this point.

Yeah, dunno. Still have Shadow of the Erdree unfinished, but I'm so burnt out on FromSoftware games that I can't get myself to play it. I killed Moon Knight Whatsherface and then said "Yeah, that's it, I'm good" in spite of my progress bar OCD (having to obsessively scour the world for Scadutree Fragments also really doesn't help my desire to pick it up again). Which means I can't comment on Promised Consort Radhan, but the base game is full of steer manure boss design. It just is generally not all that noticable due to the open world design making it really easy to be overlevelled and getting some leeway in the fights. The game is the culmination of the arms race against players, with a major mechanical shift away from being able to react to enemies towards having to memorize attack patterns, and there's nothing in the game that more exemplifies this than Malenia's Waterfowl Dance. Sure it's easy enough to deal with once you know how, i.e. either that it is somewhat reliably cancelled by ice pots or that simply dropping target lock and walking behind her makes her miss the part of the combo that is otherwise undodgeable, in addition to doing a whole lot of input reading (note that incorrigible FromSoft fanboys will say that the game doesn't actually input read, the bosses just react frame perfectly to player animations, which just proves how far up Miyazaki's ass their heads really are). Her heal-on-hit ability is also a hard counter for a variety of counter attack and block builds that otherwise work fine in Elden Ring and even the DLC, where such builds got a boost by the Deflecting Hardtear basically turning your character into Sekiro from, uhm, Sekiro for five minutes, and they actually even patched out ways to hit trade or stunlock her. And let's face it, the first time you got her to phase 2, you probably died to Scarlet Rot because that bloom effect sure goes for a long way and has an incredibly unintuitive moment when it can be dodged. If your main takeaway for stupid boss design from the Elden Ring base game is anything but Malenia's steaming fountain of excrement you're probably playing with Spirit Ashes or in co-op.

I wish they would do more than wearing little white pins with "ICE Out" written on them.

Everyone is free to speak their minds, and they should. You don't need permission from Ricky Gervais. His whole point was that no one cares, especially for something as self serving as an award show. Being a celebrity isn't an achievement in itself. If you are Billie Eilish or whomever you need to do better than grabbing the mike and roasting Trump and his billionaire buddies. Javier Bardem made a movie about the Palestinian genocide, I assume that's what it is, I haven't seen it. Doing that isn't free, there will be consequences for his career. That's not flexing, it's conviction.

Man, I remember when Howard Stern used to play the tapes of Trump pretending to be his own publicist and calling into NY radio shows to promote himself. What a time to be alive.

Ricky Gervais Reminds Celebrities Not to Make Political Speeches After Grammys Sees Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish Slam ICE: ‘They’re Still Not Listening’ “If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a political platform to make a political speech,” Gervais advised in 2020. “You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.” ok, he is right... and wrong. or rather, we agree and disagree. is no good reason for paying attention to greta, but... "again, am in favor o' greta using her celebrity to advocate for changes to individual and national behaviours in an attempt to prevent cataclysmic climate change. am nevertheless annoyed by the participation trophy generation who chose greta to be the face o' a movement. is literal thousands o' brilliant scientists and scholars who has been advocating for environmental causes longer than greta has been alive, but what those folks didn't know is if they wanted to get the attention o' the millennial crowd, they needed be a rich kid with impulse control issues. greta not having done anything is ok for for participation trophy folks who learned that what matters is being in the game and not who scored most or who won. what matter is greta is... participating? "oh, and being chosen isn't greta's fault, so am not belittling her." that americans, and a whole lotta not-americans, care about the political opinions o' bad bunny and billie eilish is unfortunate, but that don't change the fact that bad bunny and billie eilish have much more influence over public opinion than even a relative famous historian such as heather cox richardson. ... 'course when somebody such as kid rock or jon voight use their "celebrity" to promote ignorance and division, we near inevitable sneer, grumble or guffaw... typical all three. edit: trump trying it on to see how it fits. HA! Good Fun!
