Did anyone else notice the Alpha Protocol cameo in that announcement?

Time for a Cyberpunk break! KOTOR 2 (Obsidian’s first game and the reason I joined this forum 16.5 years ago) finally released on mobile! Here’s gameplay on the IPhone 12 Pro Max

Got a text with an update on my 3080, it's being picked and sent today. So I expect something early next week. 😃

One thing cyberpunk fiction got wrong, our slang in the future is a lot lamer than they imagined.

This is pretty big news, so putting it here as well: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/cyberpunk-2077-refunds/

In the early days of the game, sometimes when I googled about "Pillars of Eternity" some weird stuff came up. The results sounded like esoterical nonsense mostly so I didn't bother looking further into it. What really annoyed me though is that when I googled "PoE" only Path of Exile results were shown.

Just got updated and the ETA for my Nitro+ is mid to late January. I wish it were sooner, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2020/12/wasteland-3-now-available-on-linux-from-inxile-entertainment The long awaited (mainly by me, I don't know that we have many, if any, other Linux gamers here) Wasteland 3 Linux version has arrived. Next time it's discounted I will scoop it up immediately.

First person with voiced protagonist don't work that much for me. It's not even a question of RPG/dialogue choices, it's because of the perspective. I hear the voice but it doesn't feel like it comes from the character I'm playing. It sound like its something beside my character that is talking and pretending to be them. In shorter words, it breaks my immersion.

First two minutes are just awwwwwwwww. That fox sure does love a good scratchin'.

Just don't get carried away by all the Cyberpunk/Fallout 4/Dragon Age 2-4 casualization. Dialog enriches with lots of choices and answers, and a voiced character turns any RPG into a movie. Anyone has a suggestion for Obsidian on this?

According to Wiki; "Beginning five years after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983) and the fall of the Empire...".

Looks great, solid upper middle class build. Personally, I'd go with 3600mhz RAM for Ryzen, as Ryzen CPU's tend to prefer raw speed whilst Intel likes tight timings.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with that build. As long as you are not going to do serious overclocking, that mobo will be perfectly fine, and you could even OC with it, just not push it really hard.

Looks good.

As of today this is my draft https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sF8TwP any comments?

Weeeeeeee!

Yeah, nah, that ain't a great article to be frank. Perhaps most indicative is that the 10 year MS veteran didn't mention that MS was involved in the hack distribution too. To use Star Wars parlance Imperial Shuttles had been distributing rebel strike teams all across the Empire for six months. Something something older code but it checked out. Reads pretty much entirely like corporate damage control.

Is this the first time we have seen Bokishi's hand? Or is that a hand model?

Got the restored content mod working as well https://deadlystream.com/files/file/1801-mobile-restored-content-mod-mtslrcm/

Adam B. is directing Grounded (started right after Deadfire was done) and Josh is directing another unannounced game after taking a break from directing.

X570 has more PCI lanes, but that only matters if you want to run more than one PCI-E NVMe SSD, when a typical PC these days runs none. Generally speaking they just have more of what you already get, more fast USB ports, more SATA (if they choose to configure it to maximise that) ...and also more noise because they have an extra fan cooling the motherboard. Choosing a motherboard is largely down to picking one that has the features you need. Number of slots/ports (be it PCI-E, USB, M.2, SATA, whatever), Wi-Fi/Bluetooth inclusions, Gigabit Ethernet vs 2.5Gbit Ethernet, the quality of the onboard sound chip if you need to use it, Thunderbolt support, LED bling, etc. This tier list is based on US pricing but can give you an idea of what the more well-regarded boards in each price bracket are, plus any notable shortcomings of individual models that may not be immediately obvious, such as missing a USB-C front panel header.

The biggest effect Cyberpunk had: It allowed LadyCrimson to pass Guard Dog on the Obsidian forum Leaderboard by a margin of 6 points. Brought to you by Melkathi - News That Matter

at least one a month during the summer (which in sacramento lasts from early may until late september) we make chicken, avocado and grapefruit wraps which is tasty and refreshing even if they sound bizarre. otherwise, we don't have much use for grapefruit save for when we get ahold o' the rare bottle o' mexican fresca. HA! Good Fun!

Did resetting the mobs work? Menu -> Game Preview Debug -> Fix Creature Locations?

This is tricky. I can think of two options: 1) Create a menu for selecting a "category" for the castable spell. Use conditionals in the original ability to check which "category" is in use and which effect to apply. I did something similar as an experiment with Blood Sacrifice: 2) Create a menu that contains castable spells. In this scenario, 1) might not be an option since Abilities can only contain a single AttackID, so the AttackSummon/AttackSummonRandom components (which define what to summon) can't be filtered the way you could with StatusEffects. So you might have to go for 2) and create duplicates of the Conjure Blight spells for each variant, and for each of them assign duplicates of the corresponding Conjure Blight Attacks (again one for each variant with edited AttackSummonComponent -> SummonFileList properties) as their AttackID. Upside to this is that you get a dedicated Conjure Blight cast menu, downside is that they will not go into the Spell Level menus but together with the other "Modal" menus (see Blood Sacrifice above). The original (randomized) Conjure Blight spells will remain in the Spell Level menus, but I guess that is not an issue. I did a small test of the "medium" Conjure Blight spell, you can check it out here: _blight_selection.zip (Use AddAbility console command to get the abilities - they are named Conjure_Blight_[variant], e.g. Conjure_Blight_Flame) I'm sure it's not without issues, but hopefully a good starting point!

Nice game -- the (German?) retail also comes with a nice package, almost book-like, including a small artbook. I didn't play much of neither Commandos nor Desparados back in the day.. as such I'm stuck in mission 6 already. 😄 Speaking of which, those missions are great in size. As of Mimimi's next project, they've received 2 million Euros in funding from the German government already.

Only in West Australia... https://thoughtcatalog.com/callie-byrnes/2017/10/this-man-couldnt-get-the-atm-to-work-so-he-taped-a-fish-to-it-for-a-truly-bizarre-reason/ "I think every normal human being has gotten frustrated with an ATM that’s out of order. But at the end of the day, do we really do anything about it? Usually I just end up going home angry and annoyed. But not Troy Buswell. He’s a man of action and quite possibly the most unconventional hero I’ve ever seen. When he noticed his ATM was STILL out of order, he did what any desperate person would do — he taped a fish to the machine." Edit: The mans message to the bank, weird sentence structure included (probably rage messaging) "hey COMMONWEATH bank, how about you SERVICE your ****ING atms in BUNBURY so punters like ME will not hav to TAPE FISH to them so youll have NO CHOCE but to come and FIX THEM. i have more fish and tape and will,, power than youre intire organisation. FIX THEM NOW."

Drug Reverses Age-Related Mental Decline Within Days Sounds way too good to be true. But if it is... wow.

A different use for drones... The "Prometheus Drone" When Hollywood director Ridley Scott filmed astronauts looking for aliens in his 2012 movie Prometheus, little did he know that it would one day inspire a Network Rail drone project. But, bizarrely, that's exactly what has happened. Network Rail, which owns and maintains most of the railway infrastructure in Britain - from vast stretches of track to thousands of bridges, tunnels and level crossings - has long sought cheaper and easier ways of surveying the many underground caves and abandoned mines dotted around its property. ... ... This is how the "Prometheus" drone project got its name and, although the caverns Network Rail hopes to explore with the device will be smaller than the alien tunnels in the film, the technological principles are almost exactly the same. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-55191623

While it is an annoyance, it pales in comparison to the issues you guys are dealing with. Love the game and it will take more than clovers to make me not want to play.

No engine failures. As we know now, they were turned off on purpose, even the first one. Then they made SN8 hover a bit in the sky to burn off fuel and then flipped it to get down to the landing pad. The reason why the landing failed is because there was not enough pressure in the header tank. Basically everything worked except for the landing. Big success.

@Hurlshot Its part of the point. Starship's are envisioned to land directly on the moon and Mars. @Lexx Were those engine failures? I watched the entire video and they seems to be turning off and on in a certain sequence.

What do you mean with rocky start? This was awesome. Nobody expected it'll get this far. They almost nailed it on the first try ever with something that was never tried before. Let them fix the engine issues and there we go. SN9 is already build, so the next test won't be far away off either. Super exciting. /Edit: I'm browsing the news and ofc so many people are laughing and saying the mission is a failure ... completely missing the point of that test. Seeing this ignorance makes my blood boil, seriously. This test was a huge success. Except for the landing and the mid-flight engine failures, everything worked. The rocket took off, made it high, managed to flip itself to the side, glide down, get back up and slow down for the landing. I'm pretty sure the results would have been even better if the 3rd raptor would have kept working. Falcon 9 crashed many times before they nailed the landing, and now everyone is taking for granted that we shoot rockets into space and have them come back to the landing pad completely unharmed. This is not something we're doing since ever, this is super fresh tech. Hell, going by the speed of things, I'm very certain we'll see a perfect starship landing in the next couple months.

SpaceX SN8 rocket test should start soooon!! I am sure there will be big flaming ball in the end!
