  1. Just as I was about to go about 5$ for a cuppa coffee I remembered that local hipsta joints charge even more outrageous prices and now am all . Anyway. Andromeda. If DA:I failed to interest you, chances are Andromeda will too, because it's kind of like reskinned DA:I that's less stupid but blander. Big boring worlds with collect-a-thon crap, respawning MMO-like trash mobs, underwhelming Big Bad, etc., yawn. Can't complain about romance though, it's Bruce's own fault if he goes for the boring, because I romanced the manipulative crime lord who probably started to cheat before Ryder's ship even left the atmosphere and the whole thing was totally engrossing.

  2. Well we don't know the scope of TOWII but this one is in development since less than two years according to Linkedin's profiles while Avowed is in development since late 2018. So I think Avowed will release before TOWII.

  3. Ranma 1/2: It's over! It was pretty great while it lasted...and it got increasingly more and more insane as it went on. Some of the things that happened over such a short time...well, I didn't expect them to go there. But the way the "season" "ended" was very strange and...almost like they must've known they were being cancelled? Can't really understand why it would've ended the way it did otherwise. I'll have to come back to the second season at some point in the future to figure out what's what there. But now...Sakura: The Movie waits. And the next episode of the Jojo OVA too, I guess.

  4. A german shepherd, a doberman and a cat die and go to heaven. There they meet god who sits on his throne and he asks them some questions. "what do you believe in?" says god to the german shepherd "i believe in obedience and loyalty to my master" says the dog "good" says god "come sit next to me on the right. and you, what do you believe in doberman?" "i believe in the safety and well being of my master" says the dog "then come sit next to me on the left" says god and then addresses the cat "and what do you believe in?" the cat looks at god calmly and says "i believe you are sitting on my chair"

  6. You can spare 1 chanter, 2 paladins, 1 mage and a priest, a chanter can solo in POTD easily, I did it recently and it is the most fun, I thought it would be boring, but no, the fun was to see how the enemies fell "with the look of my chanter"

  7. Heh, this is the type of stuff I'm expressly trying to avoid (not specifically in Jojo's, but in everything, and it definitely applies here), and is why I can enjoy this more toned down OVA at least a little more instead, . While I don't mind a little self-aware humor poking fun of itself every now and then, what I don't care for is stuff that is like...self-knowingly over-absurd or over-dramatic to the point of insincerity, and that's kind of the problem I run into with stuff like this (beyond just not caring for the style, that is). No humans could ever make something like this and NOT think it was all some kind of big silly joke...and when you keep doing it over and over, I get this weird sort of...disconnect where it feels like the work has completely deconstructed itself and the entire thing falls apart in my brain like a house of cards. Gotta walk the fence between sincerity and absurdity closer, otherwise I can no longer invest into characters or care about plots or the setting, and I'd be just watching for empty absurdism-based laughs. A single 2-hour movie I can maybe do that if the humor is at least right for me, tens of hours for an entire television show or video game not so much. I...probably am not going to be able to get into Jojo's as a whole, . That's like literally the total opposite of me. Hunt down everything, discard that which I definitively dislike (unless it's rare with a real possibility of not being obtainable again in the future, in which case it instead goes into cloud storage), eliminate all that which is not archivable. The vast majority of games (particularly anything post-2010, which will be the ones that take up the most space) can be easily redownloaded in the exact same format in which they were prior to being uninstalled - there is no point at all in keeping them unless I'm actually playing them, so they are deleted. A rare album or an album which I have fixed all the tags and/or the album cover to my liking, not so much - archive it. My patience would last approximately two seconds if I were to ever attempt to treat honorifics seriously, .

  8. https://www.amazon.com/Nightmare-Scenario-Administrations-Response-Pandemic/dp/006306605X Interesting interview I just watched about this newly released book by the authors. Its all about the complete mishandling of the pandemic in the USA by the Trump administration. Anyway Redfield, Hahn and Birx, the top Whitehouse medical people during the Trump presidency who could get fired, made a secret agreement. They were all getting targeted by some people on the right and Trump ideologues for not supporting the misinformation around the pandemic and they agreed if any of them was fired they would all resign in protest They let the Trump advisors know this, people like Mark Meadows, and if this had happened just before the election this would have had additional disastrous consequences for Trumps campaign....so none of them were fired Clever strategy and good thinking

  9. Intel's DG2 GPU sampling to customers I don't expect it to compete with Nvidia's or AMD's high-end, but I'll be interested to see where Intel's discrete graphics stand as they get their feet wet in the market. The optimist in me is thinking RTX 3060 TI or RX 6700 XT level of performance for their top level offering.

  11. Wasn't "serve and protect" thrown to thrash by Supreme Court? One of the reasons US "police" doesn't qualify as police by other western countries standard as I pointed out a while back. As for the who becomes a policeman it would be of course ideal to have only super tolerant empath with supreme physical prowess but that would leave you with Chris Hemsworth being the only cop in US So you have to take some people who are rough on the edges but then the system should trim them to passable levels so you could safely give them a weapon and release among general public. But US doesn't seem to have a solid system.

  12. I’m my honest opinion, creating an interior for the entirety of the house would be way too much. We already have a massive backyard to explore. But while the idea of using mice parts to upgrade yourself and take on a giant cat pickle-Rick style sounds amazing, I will agree that we should receive functionality to the house later on, just not in the base game. This can be done with: - A seperate level: So once the main story is completed, chapter 2 will be in the house. - DLC: The file size will me larger. Much, much larger. For those people that don’t want the size of their game to be doubled or even tripled, the dlc will be an option. - A sequel: Grounded 2 can start off where Grounded left off, and will be exclusive to gameplay inside the house.

  13. I agree, a home is a whole other ballpark! Especially one that is 2 stories with what I can only assume include AT LEAST a single car garage? If anything the front yard would make for a better expansion sequel and then finish with a home DLC. Because let's be honest the interior of that she'd will be daunting enough. A home that include multiple stairs, rugs, planets, more vicious insects, pets, toys and food RELATIVELY kept in the kitchen, survival would be an ultimate challenge there. Little in the way of raw resources, hiding spots not already occupied, I'd be happier in the front yard where a dog dookie is the scariest mountain to climb.

  14. The Ice Road on Netflix ...I love you Liam Neeson, and I've at least mostly enjoyed a lot of your later-life movies (Cold Pursuit was decent, for example). This one is pretty bad tho. Liam still gives that Liam stoic performance, but urgh. It's Ice Road Truckers + mining diaster politics, with some action thrown in. ...but it *was* one of those Netflix films where the visual quality was great. Still looked pretty sharp/nice from only 3 feet away!

  15. Its a good sales number especially considering many lovers of Bioware games have played all the previous ME games. So I doubt I will buy the LE because I know the narrative and it wont be new or exciting So this is good news and hopefully it means new gamers getting into Bioware which bodes well for the company

  16. Started watching this last night. The first episode was very good. It followed a family with a girl with epilepsy as they are matched to a service dog that can help her. It was definitely worth the time.

  17. Going prone/crawling would be a great way to increase immersion and creating different ways to build in the game. Would be a great way to get away from spiders and larger bugs. For balancing reasons caution should be made, and tool use should be disabled. Ants can follow you anywhere you’re crawling, and can trap you/attack you in the space you’re in. You could make tents/lean to’s that you could take cover in.

  18. atmosphere are one of the strength of poe but deadfire manage to convey depressive and desperate with mostly sunny tropical environment instead of boring standard fantasy with gun and slightly weird aedyran pronunciation the other strength would be saint war story line not in deadfire due to beening in a massive statue body walking around high level combat are faster in poe but few part are more interesting and player no longer need to constantly check if item give the same bonus was much better design

  19. So far it's easily the most upbeat Lovecraftian game I've ever played. I like the aesthetic. I've long been a proponent of stylized art styles. They generally are less taxing on hardware AND can look better than realistic, provided it's a well realized and consistent aesthetic. As an aside, Nintendo, in particular, have a long history of having some of the best looking games in any generation and often on underpowered hardware, through the power of a great stylized aesthetic. Our heroine, Norah, is awfully chipper for someone whose husband is missing, has an unknown ailment, is all alone on a mysterious island, and who heard some weird alien (read: Old God) speech in a dream. Then again, she's on this amazingly lush and vibrant tropical island, which is a far cry from the foggy, dark, and dreary New England fishing villages I'm used to in Lovecraft. Maybe she'll change her tune later on in the game when (presumably) the Cthulhu intensifies.

  20. Soap is best against SARS-CoV-2, because it destroys it protein shell and prevents it from infecting cells. Sanitizer is bit less effective but good to use if you aren't able to wash your hands with soap.

  22. I finally have the Italian DVDs for Sailor Stars. A bit late on the draw, but better late than never. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lwuvg342kpllqdx/qSUjYSLW7M.mp4 ...It's not season 1/2/3 still, but at least it's not the disgusting smeared mess that are the blurays. There are actual lines! Strong and consistent line-work is one of my big things for art styles, and upscales like Sailor Moon's blurays absolutely demolish all of the line-work in an already pretty shaky Sailor Stars. P.S. Once I finish the last handful of episodes of Ranma, I should be back on Sakura, I THINK.

  26. Hello Crichton5! I'm sorry to hear that the crow in Grounded appears to have stopped dropping feathers for you. The team is aware of players having difficulty finding feathers that the crow has dropped and have decided to retune those mechanics. This change should be live when The Shroom & Doom update is available to all players.

  27. Solasta: I managed to get the elusive chest in the Library. People are saying it is difficult because of a bug, I had to use two spells and force my character to stop at a very specific position on the wall to do it. People said I would get a nice wand but instead all I found was a useless language helm. My characters already speak all languages.

  28. Maybe. I would be more confident if I knew who's working with (or "for") him. Like for example Nick Carver (who designed most of the later additional subclasses of Deadfire such as Forbidden Fist, Furyshaper, Ancient etc.).

  29. I've noticed while grinding out daily quests for Burgl, that the only ones we are given are to either craft something or kill something. How about adding other objectives like build a certain something or collect so many of something. Also with the kill quests, get the pond in there, make us get in there and kill some diving bell spiders or water fleas, tadpoles even. Give us a reason to go back into the pond other than muscle sprouts please! Just suggestions and still loving the game! The 30th seems like an eternity away lol.

  30. Bless you.....three! All in one place! Now there's a nightmare I hope to never encounter. Though I have been attacked by orb weavers five at one time. Not sure how they all appeared at once. Just strolling along, bumped into one spider all by his lonesome, then zap.......one turned into three and then two more joined in the game. Of course, this was along the pond side of the wooden posts. And we all know about "Spider Alley" on the other side, but how they all appeared on the pond side....? I was too deep in spider parts, goo and legs to see clearly anyway. Then just as I was finished with the last leggy critter....BONG....I was unceremoniously flung between a gap in the wooden wall and dumped into the clutches of two more orb weavers on the other side. Oh.....how I despise those web slingers! Whew! And I survived the encounter! Still can't believe it. Ladybug Armor and a mint hammer. Oh...and a few smoothies. However, even one Wolf Spider if one too many. Give me my bow and all the arrows I can carry. With a high perch, of course. Eyeball to eyeball....no way! Are we having fun yet?

  31. Most of the Grounded fans are on Discord. I prefer to submit my ideas here because I feel like they are more likely to be seen (less competition). But if you are looking for interaction, go to Discord.
