Little bit busy, so hopefully you forgive me my late announcement of another giveaway https://www.gog.com/en/game/legend_of_keepers_career_of_a_dungeon_master

New Star Citizen patch dropped (3.22), and the thing that excites me most is the new and upgraded ... hairstyles I did look for a screenshot with the old hair, but all I got are ones from character creation, or NPCs, because pretty much nobody, including yours truly, took off their helmets like, ever... and at least for now many people actually do. It's kinda crazy how much better all characters look by just pimping the hair... Really interested to see what the impact of the new character creation tool will be as it will add even more options (and not just for the hair ), what we got now is just a little teaser, compared to what they showcased at Citizen Con. If nothing else the ability to actually export/import your character so you don't have to re-do things every major patch will be very welcome...

It's 28 episodes in total, but the manga is still ongoing, so there will be season 2.

The Programmer. The Executive. The Psychometrist. The Phlebotomist. The Courier. The Technologist. The Detailer. The Clerk. The Attendant. The Waiter. The Coordinator. The Inker. The Priest. The Guy Who Lives In A Van Down By The River. Truly, the possibilities are endless.

Yeah, I was just hoping it would be vastly different than GTA V but it sort of looks more of the same. Ain't that bad I guess, R* is still one of the best when it comes to writing and humor.

Bruce will marry Sarah in every universe

Reacher is back. The three episodes available gave me a good impression for this season.

I find it somehow uncomfortable when there is advertisement in the game itself. By the way, the text in the lower right corner can be edited in some of the configuration files. The Outer Worlds The Pathless You can pet the bird. Steam seems to compress the images a little too much.

More Dark Souls Remastered. Capra Demon and Gaping Dragon have been defeated. Both on first attempt, so when I look back at the Boss Fights, I had 8 attempts on 5 bosses so far. Now bad for my clumsiness Unfortunately, that cannot be said about Bonewheel Shield Skeletons, which kicked my ass 20 times in 40 minutes, due to me always doing something completely stupid, clumsy or pulling more than two of them at once

Transitioning toward the holidays. Going on a study break then some downtime. Been a great fall and winter and chilling with the peeps will be good.

US lawyers are world famous for earning a lot of money... whether they do or not, they are famous for it I doubt even Guiliani can walk down to his local ATM and do a $148m withdrawal for "new expenses"? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67723332 Tl;dr; found guilty and ordered to payup "Rudy Giuliani, a longtime associate of former President Donald Trump, has been ordered to pay more than $148m (£116m) to two women over false claims they tampered with votes in 2020."

Hmm, I think that is the one where it suddenly got very hot and then very smelly.

Hubby test drove a few Lexus'. They weren't any better re: his back being unable to handle even average freeway road jitter w/out pain. I guess $80k cars have no better suspensions (or tires, perhaps). He was a little annoyed with the sales reps because he told them what/why he was looking for and they all gave him blank stares as if they didn't understand what "smooth/soft ride" and a bad back meant. One told him to try the 4x4 versions ... Personally I think what he needs is a custom car cushion type thing, maybe even one with side supports/straps. I find no matter how great car suspensions are, or how fancy the leather covering is, most car *seats* are quite lacking on any actual padding. Although specific tires can make a big difference too sometimes. Maybe those car dealers all have performance tires that aren't very "soft riding."

You should stay away from 40k It is all about that.

I consider Reddit and Discord to be forms of forums (hon hon hon), broadly speaking.

The problem with time savers in a non-pvp game is not a pay to win aspect, for me, but the fact that the need for a time saver means the worthwhile content is postponed, with intentionally unfun content put into the game. There is something insidious about taking what should be an enjoyable experience and removing the joy from it to get rich.

Timesavers are quite firmly in the pay to win pocket. If two people people have 10 hours each to play, and one player can pay for a timesaver that saves him 2 hours doing boring tedious stuff like grinding for resources for raids they will have an advantage over the player that can't pay his way out of it in that he can spend that time raiding for more gear. Not to mention the fact that once games start taking money for "timesavers" you run into situations like some Assassins Creed that was tedious as all hell if you didn't pay for xp boosters. Not the impressions I've had of him, but ok Easy or not, it's still an advantage that people with money spent has over those without money, to the point it'd feel insurmountable. And PvP carries are fairly common too I reckon, me and some friends used to carry other friends in PvP. People tend to learn relatively fast on how to play. Or they'll just buy a bot. WotLK 2200+ arenas were kinda nuts from what I recall.

What was included in the NDAA that was passed by both houses is a continuation of a small military aid program for Ukraine that I believe predates the war. It amounts to just 300 million. The big 61 billion request is what is stalled, although the Administration is beginning to signal a willingness to compromise with Republicans on securing the southern border.

Close to the end, but I'm actually considering whether downloading a 30GB just for the epilogue is worth it (you need a whopping 150GB or so of free SSD space also). Fun game, but seeing as it's got a reception as if it were a contender for THE greatest game of all time (regardless of platform, era or genre), I also think it's a bit oversold. You know why? Because mainstream audiences haven't actually gotten a taste in some case ever of a truly RPG. If you're coming from semi-interactive Hollywood action movies a la the Witcher with barely any choice (dialogue, character) and super linear quests that literally solve themselves (witcher senses...) -- this is an altogether new world opening up for you. I mean, the big studios in like the past two decades have tried anything to aggressively hide they're actually in the business of making RPGs either way. "Hi we're id Soft and from now on we're not in the business of making these boring shooters anymore. We're attempting something more modern for the modern sophisticated gaming audience, try it!" Absolutely ridiculous. There's an astonishing amount of work put into cinematics not breaking, and also a lot of interactivity -- as an example, I once disguised my char via a spell and got a completely different dialogue and quest progression when doing so... they also naturally needed to cover that players would finish the game entirelly solo and still cinematics still working out. Speaking of which, I actually this is a bit of a dead end, but more on that in the spoiler tag. Still, this doesn't feel like THE BIG RPG TO RULE THEM ALL. It actually feels like a game that picks up from the early 2000s had they never happened. Rather than the the crap that's actually happened (until crowdfunding, digital distrubtion et all) saved the day, that is. At least on the lower budget front. The only excuse I make for bigger studios is that they saw almost the entire RPG industry collapsing before: Origin, SSI, New World Computing, Sir-Tech, Troika, Interplay, Looking Glass, Bethesda pior to Morrowind almost too... Still with Bioware I'm wondering whether they would actually have made anything much RPG by their own choice, considering that it was Interplay to sign them for their engine -- and encouraging them to do a D&D game with it, being the license holder then. Considering that they did a Mech game before, later MDK 2 and by all accounts something more RTS-/MMORPG-like until Interplay came along, I can easily see a parallel universe where they never did anything remotedly resembling Ultima/GoldBox era games etc. at all. In other words: Chasing market trends from day 1, rather than being credited for revitalizing a struggling genre. There's no excuses from now on either way, as far as I'm concerned. And yes, I'm kinda grumpy, sorry. Not expecting anybody to do a wave of isometric D&D-likes or anything. But at least something resembling a RPG, rather than aggressively trying to hide it. Also not going into semantics. But there's fully reason contemporary audiences consider games such as Assassin's Creed or Red Dead Redemption as RPGs. At this pace, Doom 2043 is gonna belong to the family just as well. And nobody's gonna object to it, except the chosen few getting tired of big budget games playing increasingly alike. So, about cinematics being a dead end.

I completed PoE 1 after about 70 hours, it was a very good RPG experience Firstly I give this game 75/100 on the globally followed " BruceVC game rating system " and one of the reasons it gets such a good score is because Obsidian was able to successfully create a new fantasy game world with interesting lore and a new ruleset. And thats hard with the understandable popularity of D&D rules Some of the things I enjoyed about the new ruleset was how any class can use any armour or weapons and also I liked the new classes like the Cipher. So kudos to Obsidian for being able to create something different and still enjoyable I thought the overall narrative was very unexpected and exciting, at the end I didnt think to discover the truth about the gods and I decided to release the souls back to bodies they were intended and end the hollowborn curse but I considered all the options and the consequences.Thought provoking choices at the end Combat was a big win for me and I enjoyed the mechanics involved. By slowing down the game and using pause you can literally create dozens of strategies and approaches to win battles. I did have a hard time winning certain hard fights like the Sky Dragon and the final battle with Thaos but once I started using the combat log I was able to identify what I was getting wrong with my attacks so I then started becoming strategic and used buffs to increase my accuracy and spells to decrease Will. Paralyze become my friend and Prayer against Fear was critical in the dragon fights. But I also tried to kill the Sky Dragon at level 9 and then came back later at level 11 and had a much better time I also enjoyed the Endless Paths and I decided to free the master instead of combat, great side quest A few negatives, I lost interest in reading souls after 30 or so people because you cant do anything with the knowledge you learn. It would nice to see a way where you could incorporate what you learn into a quest? And then I found some of the companions lacked depth or didnt have very compelling side quests. I would also have preferred Romance as well But overall a really good game and I plan to now play White March 1&2. Im going to have quick break and then play these expansions over Christmas holidays

Jason Statham as "The Beekeeper." Another trailer for action "The Painter." (no one super famous) Now Aaron Eckhart as action "The Bricklayer." Hm. The possibilities are endless. "The IT Guy". "The Delivery Man." "The Wheat Farmer." "The Poledancer." ...The "Beekeeper, Bricklayer and Nobody go to Town"

am half expecting you to destroy board souls by sharing how you made a guanciale and pickled herring sandwich with extra mayo, or that the bolognese turned out ok once you added a sufficient amount o' ketchup. HA! Good Fun!

The biggest animal I've "adopted" so far. My chr. is in there somewhere, lower left. Probably won't keep it, but yeah, it's big. When it walks next to me, all I see is a bit o' legs. Keep meaning to do another collage of pets but ... lazy...

Me trying to force myself to exercise in winter.

Have you been on social media? Have you been to Miami? I am pretty sure it is mostly just butt shaking. GTA has always been a parody of American excess, so I'd say they nailed the feel of Florida in that trailer.

Was just flying around, looting outposts for free armour/weapons, you know, as you do When I noticed someone had parked a Reclaimer on a hill outside, leading to some pretty eery atmosphere... Especially with Crusader in the night sky... Felt the urge to go running around trying to make better screenshots, but I couldn't be sure the Cutter parked outside the outpost, or the Reclaimer itself were unmanned, and I didn't feel like getting shot. So I just circled the area a bit and decided to just peace out after a while.

Further confirmation that there are, indeed, no actual women on the internet.

Islas del Rosario:

What can I say, I'm a kiss-ass. We're going to Islas del Rosario tomorrow, hopefully I'll have some good pictures to share.

Hi all, It's been a while since there has been no discussion on this topic, and the activity on the forum as a whole has been reduced a lot for a few months. I don't know if it is related to BG3 release (not playing myself, not enough time to launch myself into something as new as freaking real 3D) or just the semi-old age of the game in general. I think the mod has been stable for long enough to consider it complete and to take the time to thank everybody involved for this experience. I'm not completely quitting the mod (I would correct any critical issue) or even the forum but I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you before there is no one left here. Cheers to everyone who participated on this mod (it was my first mod ever), on this thread, on this forum or even on PoE1 forum ! My first thoughts go to @Noqn who made some of the changes for the mod, resident @Boeroer for all his advices even he was not a direct user (I presume) and @thelee for his Faq and general expertise. And for all the ones who "liked" the release post of the new versions, it always help keeping oneself motivated ! It's been a major hobby for a couple of years of my life, and I enjoyed a lot the community here !

wartale dlc come out hope skill system are less annoying hope optimization got better pc are booming when playing it seen some horror story about this game melt some ssd

I'm intently waiting on The Forum Moderator or The Terminally Online Poster.

Andre Braugher, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ Star, Dies at 61

Whatever it is, it has Udo Kier, which is all that really needs to be said. Not gaming related, but this also has Udo Kier... singing.

I just found it on the Steam forum. The game has formations. They just hid them very well. As in, most idiotic place to put something award 2023 goes to Owlcat. Go to Settings (hit Escape). Fourth option, under Save Game, Load Game, Cooperative Mode, and above Options, is Formation.

Act 3 (House of Hope) Act 3 (ending) Act 3 (Good Dark Urge unique epilogue)

I heard there was a new Kojima game upcoming. Some kind of horror where “It is a game, don’t get me wrong, but it’s at the same time a movie and at the same time a new form of media.” "..."

How many wet leopard growls have you seen so far?

Ahem, I'm a he But yes, I have not yet played the game. My take on the game is based on having been very active on the Larian forum right from when the game was announced, and reading through all the threads and debating these points there very thoroughly there, and also spending many hours watching streams of the game through its development and since release.
