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?

Solasta - I owned this on Steam and never got very far. I'd make a party, and then re-think my choices, and start again. I did this a half dozen times. So basically I had 20 hours of making characters. I decided to try again, but I wanted the DLC classes, so I bought the Lightbrimger Edition on GoG, as it was on sale for a good price. I managed to push past the first mission and now I'm starting to get into the rhythm. Hopefully it lasts.

Went to the theater for A MINECRAFT MOVIE, because my nephew really wanted to go. So far I thought watching him play Minecraft was the worst thing. Then he started to watch Minecraft YouTubers, and I thought, wow, it can't get any worse. Oh how wrong I was. The best moment of the film came from an older woman a few seats away, having been dragged to the theater by what was probably her grandchild. When the credits rolled, she very loudly exclaimed: THANK GOD IT IS OVER.

our response is gonna be unsatisfactory. There is a Constitutional crisis if scotus says there is a Constitutional crisis. in the garcia case, the issue o' most immediate concern, the Court did their effectuate v. facilitate silliness and so there is just enough ambiguity that the executive may implausible but perhaps legal realistic claim confusion. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/143-the-state-of-play-in-the-abrego highly recommended read. not too long. if you still have questions after reading, ask us and we will explain sans most o' the legal stuff. by the way, more than a couple dems makes it tough to take 'em serious if trump does explicit ignore the courts and they then complain. rules for thee but not for me. concerning to us personal, and no doubt confusing given our recent posts, is the fact all o' the legal debate ignores the more important questions o' right v. wrong. yeah, we must not ignore due process to get bad guys such as tren de aragua/ms-13 members... or trump, but debates over legal ignores far more important and fundamental questions o' right v. wrong. so much o' what trump is doing (has already done) should be seen as wrong/immoral/unthinkable by all those salt-of-the-earth christian americans who vote for trump regardless o' whether a court decides he can legal do. by constant debating the legalities, people are able to ignore the more important and fundamental questions o' right and wrong. worse, at some point people replace "right" with "legal" and the two is most assured not synonymous. slavery were legal for a long time. until more recent, it were legal impossible to sexual assault your wife. purchasing and displaying foam fingers at sporting events is legal, but we all know it is wrong. call out the wrong is a moral duty even if not a legal one. yeah, too many ignore due process when it suits 'em but even more sit quiet or only complain via text or post when they nevertheless witness wrongs being done. as we noted already, obama used the espionage act and other means to target fox reporters and tea party members. such were wrong then even when it were legal. you think trump is gonna show same "restraint" as the obama administration? a couple years past we noted how even after the Court ruled that use o' testimony induced by torture o' non citizens not on US soil were legal admissible if obtained pre trial, the biden administration vowed it would not do such a thing, declaring such acts repugnant. 'course is nothing stopping trump from ignoring biden's conscience. right. v legal. read the 2025 project and as each week passes, the trump administration checks off a new item from the authoritarian to-do list... and we ain't even three months in as o' today. we did think that the alien enemies act would be invoked and used sooner by trump, but he will get around to targeting individual american citizens before he finishes up with law firms and universities. so, we are most certainly already in a crisis situation, but until the Court says we got a Constitutional crisis, we don't, 'cause they were purposeful obtuse/vague. HA! Good Fun! ps speaking o' what trump may do to US citizens on US soil, before he ships 'em off to cecot, am suspecting the administration is purposeful trying to provoke summer 2020 kinda protests. have already mentioned the espionage act as a way to target reporters and likely lawyers, but the insurrection act is also a possibility. bush used the insurrection act in 1992 to send troops to la to quell riots. project 2025 anticipates the use o' the insurrection act and such should be chilling given the way they have bent and twisted the alien enemies act. also recall that when teslas were set on fire, trump claimed such were terrorist acts. as we has warned numerous times, identify a person or organization as a terrorist is a way to diminish due process rights, which is why we always balk at legal using domestic terrorist language. if somebody burns a tesla or poops in pelosi's desk, get 'em for vandalism or whatever is appropriate, but tack on terrorist label just to reduce due process strikes us as dangerous. tween insurrection act, patriot act and espionage act, trump is gonna have legal tools to disappear people or use the military to suppress 'em.

Beat avowed. I enjoyed it. The worst part about is it that you are aedyran. Limits role playing. The best thing about the game is how they managed to make it feel like Eora. Don't want to go into particulars. Maybe I will write something in the avowed spoilers page. One thing is for sure. After playing kcd2 and avowed back to back, I am done with first person RPGs for a while.

Why would people play Avowed on Steam when they can play it for cheap on Xbox Gamepass? Anyways, Avowed did quite well. Not sure why they'd be lumped in with Veilguard. edit: Sounds like Avowed reached about 6 million, and Veilguard reached about 1.5 million, so not really close to comparable.

That game really clicked with me. The plot isn't groundbreaking. The UI isn't the prettiest. But it was the closest a PC game got to the fun of being a teenager and hanging out with friends playing DnD.

WotR is linear longer, so it's harder to completely miss stuff. But you'll miss some things, like Mythic Paths. So if you want to be a Lich, yeah, use a guide. I have this problem with every RPG.

I really, really like their implementation on 5e. I hope the sequel will improve all other aspects of the game.

Happy Easter

malc and lexx is, as usual, full o' it... first, the link by malc is a Gromnir defense o' US First Amendment. trump keeps losing first amendment cases and he is needing use backdoor efforts to kill radio america and npr-- staffing and budget cuts. purposeful avoiding the viewpoint or content discrimination which triggers easy first amendment claims. our first amendment observations comparing US and euro free speech differences is hardly representing a claim that trump shenanigans is impossible. receipts (particular relevant as malc were one o' the jokers claiming trump had to know he couldn't contest the election results.) *snort* this next one is from january 5, 2021 and ... time and again we warned trump were doing illegal and that the only way to stop him were Congress, Courts and voters. Congress refused to convict even after january 6 and voters chose to bring the convicted felon back to office after scotus decided to give trump immunity. the Courts? Courts has been hit and miss. we warned time and again. contrary to lexx revisionist history, we fully embraced our cassandra role. however, we will observe that we did says it would be a mistake to break law just to "get" trump. used the 'bove more than once. get trump w/o due process is same excuse trump is using to send venezuelans to a dystopian hellhole in el salvador. immigrant gang members don't deserve due process, right? his supporters don't care if trump is doing illegal 'cause he is going after the bad guys. is also why we found navalny's murder repugnant in spite o' fact we disliked the russian. they are bad guys and don't deserve the protection o' the law. they is commies, ms-13, tren de aragua, japanese during ww2. they is navalny. they is trans athletes. they is ________. oh, and democracy ain't gonna save you from tyranny. democracy got you jim crow laws passed legal. over the years, democracy got you any number o' horrific US eugenics and nativist laws . democracy got you trump reelected. the terrible tragedy is not so much that trump were a threat to democracy but rather he represents one o' the great flaws o' democracy. the First Amendment, and much o' the Constitution, is enumerating the LIMITS on US democracy. due process, right to trial, prohibitions on unreasonable searches and seizures, etc. is all limits on democracy. democracy is better than the alternatives, but the law is one o' our few remaining defenses against a democratic elected President coupled with a democratic elected but complicit Congress. is not a perfect defense 'cause trump keeps doing illegal and Congress won't stop him, but so far it is the only thing that prevents this administration from sending folks such as chris krebs, jeffery goldberg or Gromnir to CECOT w/o due process. getting the bad guys the wrong way is worse than letting 'em go free. for chrissakes, trump 2.0 should make that painful clear. btw, obama used the espionage act to go after numerous whistleblowers and reporters he didn't like. we complained. we thought obama's use o' the espionage act were dystopian. just 'cause it were fox reporters being jailed didn't make obama administration actions ok. to make it clear, am not suggesting an equivalency 'tween trump and obama, but am recognizing that norms were undermined before trump in 2017... much like filibuster confirmation rules. HA! Good Fun! ps first time we visit the board in months and lexx is yet again trying to rewrite history. figures.

I started a playthrough of Jagged Alliance since it has it's 30th anniversary this year.

Im surprised how much I'm enjoying avowed. It might just be my strong bias towards obsidian games. I also wonder if I had played this before KCD2 if my thoughts would have changed. Main character has a set role. Choices are pretty basic. Missions are very repetitive and yet... I am really enjoying myself. It could be that Eora is doing the heavy lifting.

I appreciate 3D games where light reflects off the shiny scales of the human characters because then I know that THEY'RE SNAKE PEOPLE

Pathfinder 1e is often described as D&D 3.75e. So it does have a lot of the same rules and mechanics bloat of D&D 3.5e. For me, D&D 3.5e is the best D&D edition, so I have no problem with Pathfinder. But others will disagree of course. But overall, P:Km is a great game. I played it with the strategic subgame turned on, and I actually enjoyed at least some of the elements of that part of the game.

My sisters loved to cheat so that they could build houses...I, on the other hand, have always hated base-building or anything even remotely adjacent to it, so I was more the type to start with whatever is the default options they give you and never move a single thing ever. So instead I would spend a couple of hours customizing and playing dress-up with my character, and then I'd try to play the character, and then I would quickly realize that I really must be missing something because The Sims seems to have no gameplay, no interesting stories, and no characters that aren't just walking RNG dice roll people that don't matter. I don't understand The Sims, there seems to be a chunk of brain matter missing from my head that makes the game work for other people but not me.

am actual not familiar with the mechanics o' what happened... am only able to speak to law/legal issues. as is typical for those in our profession, reality and all its attendant filthy details is often an annoying distraction from the important questions. <-- sarcasm. perhaps ironic, am able to speak to alito's curiously obtuse dissent w/o needing get into the legal weeds-- you not need be a lawyer to see problem with alito's position. presumptively, the reason scotus provided middle of the night and weekend emergency relief is 'cause the aclu, on behalf o' their clients, informed the Court that the government had put venezuelans on buses seeming with the intent o' taking 'em beyond the physical jurisdiction o' current habeas rulings limiting their deportation, so as to send 'em to el salvador w/o additional meaningful due process. ... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/legal-fight-raged-ice-buses-filled-venezuelans-heading-airport-turned-rcna202007 and today we learned o' more government shenanigans albeit in a tangential related case. https://www.justsecurity.org/110842/ice-dod-custody-deportations-cecot/ "The D.V.D. case directly affects the administration’s ability to deport Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador without an opportunity for them to present their claims of potential torture as required by federal statute. As I discuss at greater length in the substack, a key element to focus upon is that ICE retained custody over the detainees following the court’s Mar. 28 order and then appeared to switch them over to the Department of Defense (DoD) for transfer by military plane to El Salvador. The line of defense (some would say the game) being played here by the government is that DHS/ICE is a named defendant in the case but DOD is not." to get around a temporary restraining order which prevented ice/dhs from sending detainees out of the country, the government had ice/dhs transfer custody of detainees to the Department of Defense, who then went ahead and deported individuals protected by the tro. dude. am aware this is the kinda sh!te people believe is what attorneys do for a living, but that kinda rulez lawyering which happens in the worst dnd campaigns most certainly don't fly with federal judges. the tro named ice/dhs and not dod, but there is also standard boilerplate language in those tros which covers pretty much anybody working for/with or in aid o' those named in the tro, and if ice (executive branch o' the fed government) formal transferred custody of the detainees to dod (also part of the executive branch o' the fed government,) then is no court in the land which is gonna three wise monkey their way outta holding dod just as bound by the tro as ice. most courts has gotta be losing the patience and faith typical afforded to the executive. is utter unreasonable to pretend this is all just same ol' same ol'. alito pretending mock indignation when the trump administration is making blatant their efforts to thwart and undermine Court orders is less than compelling. again, the government had detainees on buses headed to an airport. taking those detainees outta the country from the texas district woulda' been illegal, but the shell game o' moving detainees just ahead o' court orders from new jersey or dc were something the feds had already done. even so, it is complete ridiculous to suggest the government would try the same shenanigans in texas, right? "fool me once..." so, for what reason did alito and thomas believe ice were carrying out their little fieldtrip? maybe the venezuelans were being taken for a weekend disneyworld excursion? even if you can imagine an innocuous explanation for the government's actions, what reasonable person would complete dismiss the possibility that the feds were trying to exploit the ordinary slow pace o' a typical judicial response? the fact the government were using "counterterrorism operations" as an excuse for not supplying details to plaintiffs AND the Court is not only beyond the pale, but it should make reasonable persons more suspicious about the government motives, no? nevertheless, alito and thomas can't figure why the aclu and the Court majority is getting their shorts in a twist. ... other than death penalty executions, it is difficult to imagine a more clear example o' the need for emergency intervention by the Court than we see regarding the possible extra judicial deportation of detainees to el salvador... and we remain reluctant to call such activities "deportations" as what is happening is that the US, without due process, is sending residents o' this country to a prison in el salvador for an indeterminate period a time. wtf

I configured Kingdom Management to auto, I regret that now because I think I would have liked to try my hand at managing my kingdom but once you set this option you cant change it So the AI makes all decisions around my lands and so far so good

I shall join this club. After originally backing it I finally started a play through. Hah, this is the last part i completed, I've been doing every single side quest I could find so far, slowly getting Henry from being totally useless to being less totally useless. I might even venture outside of Rattay soon I mean, given the game it makes sense, though the DLC made me appreciate her a whole lot more. The Theresa part of A Woman's Lot was absolutely great and I'm confident has something to do with people liking her so much. Oh yeah, and someone posted a (I presume) edited picture with her hair loose... https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Falikwyhz24l61.jpg Just completed the Theresa part of the DLC yesterday and it was fantastic. Think it really set the tone better than the same part done as Henry, because you get to experience more of the Skalitz part, and Theresa just starts of as a much more ... engaging(?) character than Herny (imho). Of course being more competent at the game's systems helped (still can't hit much of anything with a bow though). There were some minor niggles, like the nightly herb picking being more about fighting the terrain and the dog AI than the actual quest, as well as what happened to Tinker, which felt like more of a gameplay thing than something that really made sense. Still came away really liking Theresa a whole lot more than I did before.

My biggest issue with P:K is

yeah but it's start wars. They will find a way to make it lame.

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 )

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.

I think you can die even earlier than that if you pick the right (wrong) options in the first dialogue. (Not the earliest death in a game in any case, if you play Kingdom Come in hardcore mode you have a 90% chance of dying from measles/ childbirth/ smallpox/ typhoid/ cholera/ whooping cough/ plague/ misadventure/ non specific infection immediately after leaving the main menu. You even get an achievement for it)

@Gromnir Glad to see you!

so, you aren't gonna admit you were talking out your piehole in regards to claims we dismissed the threat trump posed? typical. again, is Gromnir who pointed out time and time again that trump did illegal and s'posed impossible many times during his first term, but people kept pretending as if the next improbable were too unlikely to consider. we warned 'bout the second term precise 'cause the law failed to stop all but the worst o' trump efforts in term one. am still baffled by the the trump derangement syndrome folks, pretending as if trump is normal. even so we got no excuse for lexx clowning. makes stuff up and when confronted with mistakes via multiple posts where Gromnir said opposite o' what you claimed, you deflect. aside, trump were never gonna be tried for inciting the insurrection for reasons we has stated ad nauseum... first amendment stuff. his january 6 case, which looked extreme strong before the immunity ruling and were not dead after the ruling, were not 'bout incitement. the january 6 case were hinging on the scheme to use fraudulent slates of electors to force the individual state legislatures to decide the Presidential election. legal stuff. btw, we have had folks run for President from prison and such were perfect legal. the fact trump were able to become President in spite o' convictions and incitement is not only legal, but it is freaking democratic. The People voted for trump. maybe you didn't listen when we said the first half dozen times or so, but informed y'all that sentencing for felonies and even prison would would not necessarily prevent trump 2.0. somehow you heard opposite? *chuckle* The People voted against Socrates btw; is an education fail that so many forget such, eh. the athenians had a pure democracy, so were no need for a separate court system or a divided legislature as well as an executive. for the athenians, every trial were a popularity contest. and am fine with throwing guilty republicans and democrats in prison, but if you ignore the law, then next thing you know, it is ok to send people to a dystopian prison in el salvador without due process for no other reason than that the current administration says the folks disappeared deserved it. they deserved it or they are bad, is not enough. eventually, somebody in power might decide lexx or Gromnir is bad. we spent a career representing people we disliked who had views we abhorred-- kkk, cultists, gang members, progressives. *shudder* the only speech, religious beliefs and associations which need protection is those which offend the majority. example: mlk never achieved even 50% popularity with the american public during his lifetime, and he were also disappeared (briefly) by the government. most americans once considered the naacp were to be a threat. lexx and Gromnir shouldn't be the ones deciding who deserves the protection o' the law. definite not lexx. as an aside, there is current too many legal issues o' Constitutional import for us to cliff's notes 'em all... and we have been a bit busy. maybe take a stab at Gromsplaining one or two cases before we personal get gulaged. HA! Good Fun!

Im 20 hours into Pathfinder and its going great, fantastic experience so far I have just defeated the Stag Lord which was tough. I succeeded on my 5th try by locking the Owlbear in the cage defeating the bandits in small groups getting Akiros to help me The game offers loads of choices and ways to win these types of battles And after that battle I was finally able to defeat the Kalannah and her slavers of the Technic League And I gained 2 new potential party members so I am happy with my decision to kill Kalannah

hey just a friendly nudge that you should post anything useful you find. i think the deadfire fan base is heavily skewed towards RTWP so there's a big knowledge gap with turn-based mode. if you find something that works in TB pretty well, you should post it for the benefit of posterity.

Speaking of healthy food: Was pretty good.

So, what do you like about Tiny Fishing that makes it worthwhile to play? I am currnetly playing We Are Warriors on my phone, which is a great idle game with just a smidgen of strategy involved. You can unlock cool skills and fun heroes, and best of all, if you're stuck - as it is normal with idle games - you can just open your wallet and buy yourself progression. The best part is how that progression is random, so you don't even know if you can proceed after buying in-game currency. If you get unlucky it'll just increase your units' hitpoints, and not their damage. But! During events you can just buy additional points for the skill tree. And they're only 2.49€ per piece. What a great deal!

Handsome Squidward is the wrong colour, and has hair. That is either the greatest or worst looking game ever.

Suddenly it makes sense:

Results of my test are: - Spell damage scales with character level but it can be penalized by low quality of equipped weapon. You need equipped weapon or offhand at least the tier of the enemy (in reach of 3 ranks) to not suffer penalty to damage done (this penalty scale also with difficulty settings). - Summoned weapons scale with the highest tier of equipped items - including boots, gloves, neklace, rings. Accessories don't have quality prefix but they are color coded (blue = fine, purple = excellent, red = superb, gold = legendary). Summoned weapons scale to both quality and rank of the highest quality armor or weapon (max to legendary +3), but in tests with accessory only summoned weapon always use its tier +0. - Skulls indicators aren't important. They inform of challange rating only. With tier II armor and tier I weapon enemy of tier II has no skulls while player is still penalized in terms of damage done, but he will receive normal damage from that enemy thanks to fine armor. Skulls are calculated based on all equipped items, but penalty to damage output and incoming damage are two separated things, realitve to enemy tier while damage is done.

I decided to play Pathfinder Kingmaker I have never played any of the Owlcat games so I I know nothing about the IP, mechanics or ruleset Im about 6 hours into this game and I can tell its going to be a fantastic PC " Table-top " rules based RPG experience It reminds me of D&D which is obvious because I assume some of the Pathfinder mechanics are similar? And since D&D is my favourite ruleset that works for me I am still learning a lot and I have adopted the TB combat system and because this is my first playthrough I selected Gimar as a pre-made protagonist. I generally always choose magic users anyway

I stopped recreationally drinking around a year ago and the effects are profound. Ive lost ~9 pounds and I feel better than I have in decades. I didnt even know I was feeling suboptimal until I felt what it was like to feel optimal. That stuff is poison. Fun poison, but poison none the less. We dont drink pop at all and havent for years. Another poison right there too.

Quantum Computer Generates Truly Random Number in Scientific First : ScienceAlert

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth It's weird. Being as old as I am and getting to the end of a game and hesitating because I didn't want it to end. Seeing something from my childhood in new lights and crying at it all over again. I'm so used to seeing things from my youth being done a disservice. I won't say Rebirth is perfect, I won't even say it's as good as the original. But it's still damned good. The team understood the assignment when they made this. It is worthy of standing alongside the media that I love. That final boss fight was overdone as hell, though. How many phases did it need?

Bug? I thought that's a feature!

oh man, it was a bit of a journey trying to decipher posts and notes I wrote nine (!!) years ago, but i can confirm that the trap accuracy bug is in fact fixed. it feels so good to get this fixed, almost a bit in disbelief that it finally happened - i have an entire section of my old gamefaqs guide that i need to delete. as promised, a hand-written letter is on its way to the irvine offices. thanks so much

Greetings Envoys, A new patch is now available! This update includes important fixes, so be sure to update your game when you see it.

Performance Improvements Improved performance on Beauty and Balanced modes on Xbox when in larger cities.

Deadfire only has <DefaultText /> and <FemaleText /> entries in all it's .stringtable files. Which are used for reactivity to the player's choice of gender in character in creation. Interestingly there is a "Neuter" gender in both Pillars of Eternity games. But is only ever used by creatures and maybe the occasional npc. It isn't implemented to be applicable to player characters from what I have seen. That would be my own assumption as well. Most likely the result of a more recent addition made to OEI Tools (the internal tool used by Obsidian) for use in Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, and future Obsidian games. And not really indicative of any specific plans for a Pillars games.

Tried Gothic 1 remake demo. A couple of things in the UI are really annoying: - No pause in menus, so have to save far away from monsters. - Subtitles appear at the same speed as spoken dialogue, so you actually have to listen to the bloody thing to know what's being said. Can't see myself playing the full game if they at least don't fix the latter one. The first one I could maybe deal with, if the rest of the game is really good.
