It is taxing enough dealing with the posters here. 😉

Glad you're enjoying it so far. I liked it too. But as far as that huge area early on goes, just as so many others have said, don't get "trapped" in that area doing everything there all in one go. Do some stuff, then leave the area and go do other things before returning to that area. And make note of the respawning trash mob locations and try to avoid them in the future (unless you're into refighting trash mobs again and again). And don't avoid the war table quests. Some of them are quite good and fun.

Updated the thingamajig.

Who expects anything else from Bethsoft?

Even a large studio like Bethesda obviously can't custom craft 1000+ planets, there's not enough manpower and hours in the world for that. Presumably, there will be a heavy dose of procedural generation.

I'm pretty sure the Bible said something about we four Horsemen of the Apocalypse all liking the same thing being the ignition for the end times, so I'm personally hoping @majestic hates it. InsaneCommander can probably get by with enjoying it without the apocalypse starting, though.

Finally! Persona5. Still no Avowed. 😰

Okay, guess I'm going to watch that film too.

Woooo Pentiment! Go Joshy and

Yeah, I don't normally go for wacky silly insane stuff, but Everything Everywhere at Once is an exception.

I am playing as a Quanari so we will see. I am going pretty blind into the game (outside knowing it's.. MMO influences) so we will see what companions will there be to romance.

So you just rely on everyone else to post the news? Freeloaders. I bet you don't even pay taxes!

Was home alone yesterday. Made pan fried chicken breast (@ 60 celsius, with lots and lots of butter and garlic), ramson that I picked in a nearby forest, celeriac puree and a red wine sauce. Paired with a beautiful red from my favorite aussie winemaker - By Farr. Wish I made more!

HA! Good Fun! ps chaos affected our link. fixed pps am obvious choosing missionary with flame weapon training

old joke: what do you say to a drummer in a three-piece suit? even so, am not trusting the ginger gnome with the bagpipes neither. HA! Good Fun!

Drummers are a bit... different?

The Boss Creator is downloadable as stand alone on Epic. They have made a few changes. You can now have proper prosthetic arms and legs. You also don't have gender, the sliders for breasts and groin are there and you adjust them whichever way you want. The game no longer censors nipples, unless you want to. You can also adjust "modesty" by selecting how you want the game to censor - smiley face, googly eyes, pixelization etc.

@KP wants Blue Velvet Well now I have to watch it. EDIT: Wow! This movie starts off as a mess and all over the place, but then it all starts coming together and when it does it's so powerful and emotional that I can't help but agree with KP, it's one great movie. I won't say anything else, as I agree with KP.

The way Russia is weaponizing famine and starvation is truly reprehensible, I cant say its a new low because I already raised this point Black\brown people really dont have any friends in Russia unless its suits the Russian political or economic narrative

This is definitely the best looking game I've played on xXxBOxXx, or anything for that matter. It's not just the graphical fidelity, though it's certainly not lacking in that area, it's the lighting effects, depth of field, little particles of dust in the air in a light shaft, it's all really well done. Given that this is a very cinematic experience, it's an interactive movie essentially, it's a lot easier for Supermassive Games to push the limits than the mountain of open world games. Everything here is very controlled and scripted, the devs know exactly how many characters are going to be on screen at any given moment. Scripted and linear has its benefits.

sharing 'cause is that time of year... again. Table of State Laws that Protect Animals Left in Parked Vehicles 14 states have enacted laws that allow any person to rescue a distressed animal (AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, IN, KS, LA, MA, OH, OR, TN, VT, and WI). These laws functions to limit the civil or criminal liability of the person for damages resulting from the forcible entry of the vehicle. Indiana is the first and only state to require the person who forcibly enters a vehicle to rescue an animal to pay half the damages. West Virginia and New Jersey are the only states that criminalize the act of leaving a pet unattended under dangerous conditions without providing a rescue and immunity provision for anyone. check the link if you are curious, 'cause most states which provide protection from criminal and civil liability impose specific requirements for the prospective good samaritan. CA as an example: This person will not be criminally liable for actions taken reasonably and in good faith if the person does all of the following: -determines the vehicle is locked or there is otherwise no reasonable manner for the animal to be removed from the vehicle -has a good faith belief that forcible entry into the vehicle is necessary because the animal is in imminent danger of suffering harm -contacted a local law enforcement agency, the fire department, animal control, or 911 prior to forcible entry -remains with the animal in a safe location, but close by until emergency responders arrive -used no more force than necessary to enter the vehicle and remove the animal -immediately turns the animal over to a representative from law enforcement, animal control, or another emergency responder HA! Good Fun!

Everything Everywhere All At Once. Legitimately one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's ****ing wild and bounces between genres and tones in a way that should give you whiplash....but somehow it comes together beautifully in a way that just works. I can't really say more because it's spoiler territory and it wouldn't sound real anyways. This is next on my watch list.

lol. I mean, that is most definitely (one of) the publicly stated reasonings for raising prices before there's an actual shortage, I certainly wouldn't dispute that; but it's just such a load of old bollocks, for any developed country. Same basic reason as why 'competition' in health provision is stupid- what are you going to do, opt not to have a heart attack because it costs too much, or pause it so you can find the cheapest hospital? You're not going to stop eating, they'll sell the same amount of stuff, minus some luxuries, which grain most definitely isn't. You (generally sense) just might have to forgo the annual iPhone upgrade and quit your wine club though. Companies pretty much always make super profits during shortages and high prices, so long as their product is essential. Classic example which is pretty much directly equivalent: oil companies. Apart from making more profit the higher the price you also find there are some quite surprising dichotomies. Strangely enough bad news means prices have to go up immediately, but if there's good news- better exchange rates, lower crude prices- then unfortunately the oil was bought at the old higher prices and we can't drop the costs for at least two weeks. Amazing how they never bought oil at the old low price so they can hold off on increases for two weeks though, guess they're just really, really, really, really, really, really, really unlucky. Every single time. See also computer chip shortages. They were awful for AMD/ nVidia/ Intel, they suffered through massive profits and selling everything they could produce at whatever prices they wanted. I do hope the children of Yemen or Tigray have some consideration for the terrible time chipmakers had of it. Which may seem a bit of an overkill comparison, but we all know who is going to suffer from the shortages most, and we all know those super profits aren't going to go towards stopping people literally starving.

Great, but it's still spiking, and I'm sure it will spike some more next year.

Oh, and Russian Army destroyed approx 300 thousands tons of Wheat in Mykolaiv silos few days ago. This means, that even if Ukraine would be able to get all of the wheat out of the country today, there will be not enough of wheat to feed all of the Africa and Asia. Russian trolls are already working hard on narrative to blame Ukraine for this. Some insights on this tactics by Timothy Snyder.

Some bad news and some good news... Let's start with the bad... On some places Russians were able to cross Siverskyi Donets, which will make defense on some places much harder for Ukraine. And Sievierodonetsk is still a ****ing mess. But As I have mentioned few days ago, Ukraine is allegedly defending exactly as I have predicted. (from a source which has been marked as credible, by a journalist, whom I know as a very trustworthy person.) Zelenskyi have officially release number of Ukrainian casualties during since the start of the war. It is now approximately 10 thousands, with 100-200 soldiers dieing per day in Donbas (IMHO this daily number is probably over inflated and used to get more weapons to UA as soon as possible. Who knows...) Even if these numbers are real, they are still lower than the casualties of Russian Army around Sievierodonetsk. According to Luhansk Oblast Head of military administration, Russia was forced to withdraw Buryat units, due to extremely high casualties. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/06/9/7351558/ Now for some good ones: In Zaporizhia Oblast, the frontline was pushed 5-7kms to the south. The exact width of this counter-attack has not been revealed, but it has definitely happened south of Zaporizhia City. - Source Mayor of Melitopol. It seems, that UA started counteroffensive at the whole front in Kherson Oblast. General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine today confirmed so far 1 village liberated, and three stormed by their army, but according to the above "WarMonitor", UA today liberated approx 20 villages, and are attacking in three directions. He summarized some data from open and closed sources and made some maps to illustrate the counteroffensive. I am really curious about the official information from UA General Staff. The most interesting info, that I have found on many Ukrainian official and unofficial sources is, but no official General Staff report released yet. The UA artillery destroyed the "hive" of Wagner PMC at Stakhanov (Kadiivka) Stadium deep in "Luhansk People's Republic" south of Lysychanks and east of Bakhmut. Casualties are approximately between 250-300. (Kadiivka is for some reason romanized name of Стаханов (Stakhanov). Pro-Ukrainian source: Pro-Russian source:

@majestic It was as good as the trailer promised it to be, I liked it overall. Saying that, it didn't blow me out of the water or anything like that, but I have to say I like the direction Nick Cage is going with his career.

thats a lot of talk, try buying dollar on streets and you will see how well their ruble stands

Finished Disco Elysium - Best game of the year for me bar none. I would not call it RPG but more an adventure game but man, did I loved every bit of it (maybe except those dice roll skill checks)

HA! Good Fun!

Same here 😄 With occasional click on Niche Gamer now and then

This is the only site I even visit for gaming news.

Oh noes, looks like Keyrock has been abducted by SonicMage, and he started to spam trailers with his account!
