Happy Easter

Finally managed to complete a playthrough of Avowed. Got quite bored of the repetitiveness in the 4th area. Weell, it was ok. Plot was good enough, but didn't like the characters that much in the end, Lödwyn especially was just confusing. Ending didn't show the results too much, for the Dreamscourge they just said "ok, it's fixed now, everyone go home". Kinda think the whole thing would have worked better as a DLC side-story to a PoE game.

Im 36 hours into Pathfinder and I have just ended the Troll threat I am absolutely loving this game. It has a wide depth of mechanics and rules around the Pathfinder system but this is my first time playing Pathfinder and I have never been someone too concerned with a deep understanding of mechanics in these types of RPG, I obviously learn how to be effective in combat and what buffs and roles are best to adopt in a strategic way in battles And then I just have fun and go wild. And this game really delivers. Some components that are entertaining and really well done I love how you need to explore to find things like the troll lair. combat is obviously the best part of the game, very strategic and complex around how you need to use different approaches I like the lore and the history of the gods no level scaling from what I can see, when I get annihilated I come back at higher level and I can win battles loads of Easter Egg encounters like the Young Dweomercat and how he randomly appears to help me some really interesting companion side quests I am not sure how I should configure my XP gain around active party members only getting XP? Because the downside is when you select another party member they not on the same level but I now think I have my "ideal " party and its based on a combination of tanks, healing and combat magic This is my current party selection Gimar ( my main character ) as the primary combat magic user Amiri as a tank Valeri initially as tank but I have now adopted Ekundayo because his archery and dog companion seem much more effective? Octavia as thief and secondary combat mage ( I decided to replace her with Kalikke) Tristian as main healer and also combat mage Linzi as main buffs and very useful in combat with spells and healing (Tashas hideous laughter has literally saved me several times fighting trolls )

Pleas Help! i am trying to host a game in ground and get this error every time i try to host, i just got the PC Game pass and i downloaded the game through it, i tried multiple things but i just can't seem to host the game without a VPN, the only thing i haven't tried is port forwarding, and when i use a VPN the game gets really laggy for me and my friend, it always says "High ping" with the red marker, to the point where is unplayable, pleas i need a way to play the game multiplayer without a VPN, i have always played a lot of different online games without any connection issue, i live in Egypt if that's relevant, thank you for your time.

I also thought that there were bits were game acted as if your PC learned things for the first time, while I was thinking "didn't we already learned that in one of the Flashback vision collectibles?". I don't mind the story being pretty predictable for someone with Eora knowledge. What I was more bothered by was NPCs not being particularly impressed by it either, as if they too played both PoE games.

It felt like each new area got progressively worse. That first map i was having so much fun. By the time I got to the 4th map it was so desolate I barely bothered to climb and find new things. Story wise it did that thing where the player knows the mystery way before any of the characters. I imagine it would be less obvious if I hadn't played previous games. "It was ok" sums it up pretty well

am having mentioned previous how am shamefaced by the recognition that if we want legit nba arena or mlb park nachos, then queso sans american cheese or velveeta just don't match our expectations. ... am almost never bothering to click on youtube suggested links, but it has happened. had literal never watched the guy previous, but we saw the video thumbnail and for some reason we were simultaneous reminiscing 'bout campbell's condensed bean with bacon soup. we make a bean and ham/bacon soup that utilizes mayocoba beans, a soup which for us is a winter month staple and am recognizing our version has a similar flavor profile to the campbell's condensed version, so for funsies we clicked on the link to see where bean and bacon ranked. am so complete derisive o' internet ranking videos or lists, so is double strange we bothered to watch. triple strange is we watched even when we noticed bean and bacon were not one o' the soups he rated. *shrug* after seeing babish comments on the spicy nacho cheese soup, we bought a couple cans and experimented. first effort we tried straight. not great, but we understood babish observations. second effort had us add evaporated milk, a bit o' jalapeno brine and some corona beer. better. eventual tried five or six different varieties, but arguable the best result were when we shredded a few ounces o' decent sharp cheddar cheese and added it to the soup-- that's it, just the can o' soup warmed up and shredded sharp cheddar stirred into the molten mixture. diabolical simple and pretty much exact what we were hoping to achieve. online we has seen the campbell's soup priced as low as $.85 but typical ~$1.72. is not as if am regular making nachos or anything which would require a nacho cheese sauce, but given how shelf stable and cheap is the soup, am expecting am gonna always have a couple cans in the pantry henceforth. ... so weird. HA! Good Fun!

Well they made me a manager here, so that tells you everything you need to know. At least did my good deed for the month, helped a blind lady make her way to the bus stop on way back from voting. She was amused by my saying "30 degrees to your right", but understood it.

Yeah, I've been trying to explain to my students how important it is going to be to develop a voice as a writer. All of this AI generated stuff is going to mean it will actually be easier to stand out from the crowd if you avoid using it. Imagine how many AI generated essays schools are being forced to read through right now?

I started playing Disco Elysium. I put on most of my clothes. Reached for my tie which was on a ceiling fan, then had a heart attack and died and went to the game over screen. That counts as completing a playthrough right?

My Sister Momoko (2003). A cute children's movie about a brother and his disabled sister, where everyone learns to get along with each other and appreciate their differences despite their own personal struggles, both small and large. Maybe a little on the edutainement side, but it was still pretty enjoyable, and I saw comments online about how viewers with either their own disabilities or family members with disabilities really connected with it.

Found this gem (might be in a wrong order, but each screenshot should be self-contained; it is a single-player game):
