I finished building a deck in the backyard. I spent a couple months trying to harvest pallets for wood, but I finally broke down and bought a couple hundred dollars worth of 8-foot pieces. I blew the budget a bit, but still ended up keeping the project around $350.

Finished Solasta, interesting enough even with the straight forward story I think I might replay it, though might wait for the Sorcerer DLC. The power gamer in me wants to create the ultimate party now that I have all the meta knowledge in what gear is available, and what to expect. I also just read the studio is opening a partner studio to create a new game in the world, which is pretty cool. Would love them to continue to work on the graphics and interface because I would love them to come out with something as polished as POE2, that ran as smooth. Solasta is a little chunky ... is that

Anybody have a metal coat hanger?

I am commander Shepard and this is my favourite soap on the Citadel.

Oi! Looks like HoM&M knockoff. And I could really use a good one.

WARNING: Unnecessarily edgy metal trashing

Hellpoint free on GOG for the next 2 days.

If you play with Community Patch, such that FF attacks are classified as weapon attacks, you will trigger extra attacks with swift flurry and heartbeat drumming. However, these extra attacks are primary attacks using the main hand weapon only if you are dual wielding. This is the reason that Powerotti recommends wielding Magran's Favor in your main hand with the axe modal on. The idea is that you would rarely be auto-attacking, but would rather be mainly using the FF attack and also periodically using eternal devotion to renew the fire lash. When swift flurry/heartbeat drumming procs, you'll d

So this years E3 is bollocks and stuffed with a ton of pre-rendered mood setters. I love that Obsidian chose to take the piss out of that.

I really don't know what you mean

Grey day here on the Prairies. Walk to work was complemented with rain gear and umbrella ... just in case! Looking forward to a Pathfinder 1.0 session this evening!

I like the humour in Dungeon of Naheulbeuk. It's an acquired taste for sure, but luckily for me, I acquired it. Sadly, it doesn't have a built in screenshot action key, so I have to find something better. Maybe that built in feature in Windows 10 can do the job of taking shots during conversations and combat. As far as combat goes, it's quite well made. Easy to learn and hard to master. I think my next skill point investment in the party ogre is going to be 'Advanced Murderhoboing' "This spell was originally invented as a way to enforcing social distancing during pan

We know it's Divinity: Original Sin 3 in all but name and setting. That's enough for many people to be disappointed. Many of the friends and acquaintances I have that enjoyed the Baldur's Gate series did not enjoy the D:OS-games all that much. Regardless of whether the game is any good as it is, anyone expecting something even remotely resembling the Baldur's Gate series is going to majorly disappointed, because this ain't it. I'm still baffled by the need to abuse the name of a long completed series and then make a game nothing like it. A game that, from the looks of it, could very

I always found it interesting that there was so much more focus on people wearing masks than on cramped poorly ventilated workplaces people who couldn't work from home got packed into to make the meat grinder go brrrrrr. For example, in California at least, line cooks had the biggest rise in mortality, presumably because of the rona. Perhaps this is because blaming the dip**** who can't put on a piece of cloth for five minutes is easier than looking too closely at labor conditions, which would require more than finger wagging to fix. Anyways soon I will have the microchip and will become

[CLASS BUILD] The Man of Mistery – SC Trickster Solo Upscaled PotD Class: Trickster Concept: Fun and Versatile Rogue that mixes spellcasting, ranged and melee attacks to adapt to each situation and tricks his enemies into certain death. Optimized for a No-Rest run. Game Version: RTwP. Works with latest updates and DLCs as of v5.0.00040. I recommend the Full Community Patch and the No Forced Rests mod (otherwise just metagame around them, it’s fully viable but just a bit annoying). PotD Solo Viable: Yes. Of note, I think this is a Solo build that is particularly well

Good news for trees. Or good tree news: Eighteen million trees to be planted around Glasgow Ghana planted 5 million trees in a single day to combat deforestation and climate change South Korea to Plant 3 Billion Trees to Help Reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050 Plus three years ago I planted three Bartlett Pear trees in my back yard. They are still too young for fruit but they are all in full bloom now, Very pretty!

The designer's penchant for taking control away from the player to force Artyom through increasingly predictable and contrived situations was detrimental to fun, imo. Too much Resident Evil, too little STALKER. Also, QTEs were getting old by 2010 already. Do we really need them? I did enjoy the world building and story quite a bit, though.

It really should be titled "North Korean defector goes to a private liberal-arts college and is amazed the US government doesn't force them to teach a specific ideology".

Good question, and I don't think I know the answer to it. I was about to write how damning I found Schreier's report - mainly that Bioware had no idea what they were setting out to do. Then again, it is not new, and seems to be common in game development. Mass Effect didn't end up as it was initially envisioned. That said, reading about ME1, it seems that they had too big ideas to realize, not lack of them. I generally am all for sequels - games are better suited for reuse of gameplay loops and gradual improvements, then most other mediums. Narrative nature of most Bioware games, I

Hi everyone, I'm doing a Solo run with an SC Trickster build which I will write about a little later (very fun, very versatile and surprisingly powerful). For uber-style, I went with the Whitewitch Mask and the Pale Hide which is a unique armor that, to my great shame, I hadn't thought a lot about or used much before. You probably know this but for those who don't, it turns out it's a really great armor, so I wanted to write a little dedicated post about it. Of course, the 20% Hit to Graze enchant can synergize really well with things like Llengrath's Displaced Image. So can the

The vaccination in some parts of Brazil is now expected to happen much earlier. Last I had checked I would only be vaccinated in August or September. But now it seems it will happen in the next weeks.

The guy should have scratched his ass instead of his head. 7/10

practice is when you perform the same action over and over in order to reach the same result in a more efficient manner.

I grilled a small pork chop and made a salad for dinner last night. I also made one of these. Oh my God was it good.

I completely forgot E3 was on. Sounds like someone's got marketing written all over him. Shepard Soap - You'll bang, OK ?

Basic news out of the Koch Media stream so far: Koch Media decided that Koch Media isn't a sexy label, so they now will publish games under the label Prime Matter. New Pain Killer announced. Kingdom Come Deliverance brings out a physical version of the dice game that is played in the game. They also are going to sell Kingdom Come Deliverance soap. Dolmen is described as a Lovecraft meets Giger hardcore RPG soulslike. (I think in obsidian forum talk that translates at: a game @Mamoulian Warwill play, enjoy though not being all that good at) Koch couldn't teach thei

You can use Dread Howl whenever you want - whether you have focus or not. It's nice to have a long-lasting, 5m-base(!) radius frighten effect which not only prevents enemies from using their attack abilities but also lowers their Will by 10 (costs no focus). I thought is could be nice to cast a huge AoE frighten with high ACC that prepares enemies for other spells against Will. YOu will still have spend no focus after all. I guess if you're a Beguiler that isn't super interesting maybe, but for an Ascendant (who isn't ascended yet) it could be cool to have a cast that doesn't delay your asc
