Made a baby cry just by looking at it. Still got it. Also the local crazy man in my neighbourhood got reassigned, the new guy is just ranting about feminists. Sad. The old guy used to just mutter gibberish and try to fight garbage bins.

Gameplay is crap, enemy mobs around every corner. Bethsoft thinks you have ADHD and need attention every 20 seconds or you might get bored and quit. Worldmap is typical Bethsoft theme park with a new attraction around every corner. Story is complete garbage, actually all dialog is garbage. Three Dawg can shut the hell up. Consistency of the gameworld doesn't exist - what do people eat? Why are there raiders and dead bodies everywhere? Why do we need Super Mutants on the east coast? Why did we need to rehash the Enclave that was wiped out in Fo2? Why bring back the BoS again and make them shining knights? Why bring Harold to the other side of the continent just to turn him into a tree? This is ****ing bull****. Also lots of bugs - last time I tried it for lolz, I've played for 30 minutes. Then I've reached Megaton and the game kept crashing, so I just gave up. Man, I can keep going forever, but it has been talked to death for years now and I'm just tired. So my tl;dr is ... it's a bad game.

Berserker has strong upsides (Tenacious & Hardy instead of Strong & Fit as well as 30% melee hit-to-crit conversation) and also strong downsides (Confusion, self damage, hidden health bar). The downsides can be somewhat circumvented or weakened though (become resistant to INT afflictions or getting an INT inspiration removes Confusion, using indicators such as Blooded for the health bar and stacking health, healing and damage resistance against the self damage). Of all downsides the self damage is the most impactful one - because it cannot be negated easily and completely without a lot of fuss. However, like with almost all downsides in this game, you can often use it to your advantage. Examples: (moderate) self damage in combination with the Wound Trait (Monk) gives you a lot of wound resources while you are frenzied. That's why I love Berserker/Monk. You never run out of wounds as long as you can frenzy. Self damage can help you to go under 50% health in order to unlock certain abilities (Streetfighter passive, Blooded, humans' Fighting Spirit, Llengrath's Safeguard etc.). Without the need of enemies attacking you. To me strong advantages/disadvantages are a lot more interesting than mild ones (see Sharpshooter Ranger for example: that's not very exciting imo). Brute: Berserker/Devoted (as long as he picks the right weapon type with multiple damage types or combined a single dmg weapon with unarmed attacks, picking Monastic Unarmed Training) can be a strong combo because you will have stacked +4 PEN via Tenacious+Devoted's weapon choice, the self healing will counter the self damage a bit for some time (Unbending will help, too) and Berserker crit conversion will add to Disciplined Strikes and make the improved crot dmg of the Devoted occur more often. Frenzy+Bloodlust in combo with Armored Grace and Mob Stances is also great in order to have high AR with relatovely little recovery. Blood Thirst with Mob Stance is a very potent combo against weaker mobs. You kill one: you will automatically attack the next one AND you'll have 0 recovery after your next regular attack. Usually that means the next enemy will be dead very quickly, too. And so on... But watch out: a confused Brute will cleave into your party members (besides hitting them with Carnage, too). You might knock them out very quickly. If you use the Battle Axe Amra with Riven Gore you might even destroy them (permanently killing them) with a Cleave from Mob Stance. Things like an upgraded Modwyr or the enchanted Devil of Caroc Breastplate can completely prevent that (they will remove confusion instantly).

Happy to share that July and August 7ths editions are now in hand. If you have an idea percolation for September, please do reachout!

HELLO, THIS IS THE BARTIMAEUS BOT ALERT! Evidence: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. All only tangentially related posts made on various random forums by a newly registered user within the last day by the same username. This one had a decently believable post, I almost didn't look them up...but the fact that it didn't seem to be addressing anyone in particular despite starting with "I agree with you" combined with the random words smashed together username (which in my own experiences of forum moderation, is almost always a dead giveaway that the user is a bot) made me make sure, and yep. Once the idiots running these AI-generated spambots figure out how to use different usernames across different websites (i.e. doing the bare minimum to disguise themselves) and maybe some mild textual improvements to avoid easily patterned behaviors, we might really be in trouble, because I honestly thought that this could be a real post for a moment.

Hello friends, In case you have not seen the new feature for the community, it's below. I hope this thread will be used to discuss community member's blogs and explore ideas for the new adventure for our community!

The First Templar as a new giveaway on GOG https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_first_templar

Hello, my game keeps constantly crashing after recent update. I can't even finish a single fight. Sometimes game just crashed to desktop without any information, sometimes I get notification that Unity stopped working and once my computer completely frozen. I can't play more than 5 minutes. Game worked smoothly before that. I have my drivers up to date. Files integrity checked, game reinstalled. Nothing helped. Cheers. DxDiag.txt Player.log

Not only did you reply in earnest to a bot spam post, you also somehow missed @Wormerine's link to the video literally called:

The Beekeeper - John Wick with Bees. Jason Statham is always fun. He probably had about 10 lines of dialogue in this, and that was plenty. It was exactly what I was expecting. Kind of had a Hitman feel to it in certain parts. The bad guys are cyberscammer, and my daughter recently got scammed out of $400, so that was cathartic.

Fo3 is garbage, sorry but it's fact. Everyone who disagrees is either too young to know better or has no taste. 😄 Even if you remove the "Fallout" from the name and see it as a generic post apocalyptic game, it's mediocre at best, still bad in many areas.

Remember the era when they would fill out all the fields in their profile and you'd recognise a spam bot by the fact they had three hobbies listed?

Which story realm? Usually people have trouble with Grexolis from the base game. The archon orc beating them into a pulp. I found this mission hard the first try, as the Age of Wonders series usually favours aggressive play styles. Grexolis on the other hand I found it best to hang back and let other wizards draw the attention of eachother. Your AI allies can take a beating for a while. Then you help them against the other faction, and eventually you'll power through the orc.

Replaying Blade Runner. Killed everyone - Lucy, Dektora (after convincing her I was on her side, great "Why ??" when I dropped her), Sadik, Zuben, Clovis, Crystal.

I was at London Pride 2024 on Saturday with my university. It was curious to see several groups of the safely contained homophobes, but they do remind why the Pride is needed. I have also realised that I strongly dislike whistles and large groups of people in general. Still, going to get some sort of hearing protection and come to London Pride 2025. Hopefully, the transphobes in the government will be removed by that time.

Nothing. My cat figured out the power button.

Many thanks, my friend. I'll send it tonight and you guys can use all, part, or none of it as you deem appropriate.

@MedicineDan You've submitted something yet? I know you are no bad writer, on the contrary. Would love to see a contribution!

I agree i was thinking the same thing. if we could have bees or ladybugs as rideable mounts that'd make the game a whole lot more fun . but so it isn't OP they'd have to put the recipe for the saddle or the taming thing in the upper yard or smthn

Given what Starmer has said recently, I don't think yall will be that lucky even if every Tory got dragged straight to hell.

I wanted to play Still Wakes the Deep. Alas: It's close to midnight anyway, probably better to not try a horror game shortly before trying to sleep. Thanks Microsoft, I guess.

Without the supreme court defining it or absent any strict definition, they will argue that everything he does is an official act...except for the stuff they don't want made public record, those things will be private and personal when it suits him.
