Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
It felt pointless to me. They were saying that stuff is being broadcasted on TV, but you never see any cameras or anything. Dunno what to think about the movie... I guess it wasn't terrible, but I also never ever want to see it again.

Random video game news... RNG is your friend!
https://thegamepost.com/outer-worlds-2-dev-obsidian-entertainment-ai-hallucinates/ lol, what's going on lately. Perfect example for why ai in support (or in general) is just pure garbage. I hate it so much, whenever I see a company sending me to some ai support tool, I just start insulting it in the hopes of getting connected to a human.

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
I've started a replay of BG3 as well, a few days ago. Getting close to Act 2 again, and I'm having way more fun with the game now than the first time, just because I know now how everything works, and how to best use the environment for my advantage. I think the game is pretty good. IMO, a party of 6 is really not necessary. Guess it would make combat a lot easier as well. Not sure why your people can't hit anything - I'm wrecking whatever crosses my path. Maybe you use the wrong weapons, etc? If we'll get a PoE3 some day, I'd really love it to just use this game engine. All of the interactions and environments combined with Obsidians writing should end up pretty cool.

Fast food workers in Germany do get paid minimum wage, and our fast food is still cheaper than the stuff in America, last I checked. Nobody really has to take on multiple jobs to survive. Obviously if you take away all of the regulations, and let companies do whatever the hell they want, they will just increase prices if they are forced to pay more wages. After all, who's to stop them? The end result is something like Walmart, that is deeply tied into the government social security benefits system to pay their workers as little as possible AND milk tax payer money from the state to supplement those wages to make their employees only barely starve and not completely. Don't get me wrong, I love my capitalism as much as the next westerner. I'm profiting from it as well, and don't really have a terrible life due to it. But this **** in America is just mental and way, way too much. You're going so far, you end up on the other side of the horseshoe curve (vs poverty of communism, lol). That said, I have no idea how this situation can be fixed without literal WW3 happening and resetting everything a la Star Trek. Fun fact, just last week I've learned that the WW3 in Star Trek lore started in 2026, lol. Who knows, maybe things will actually get better once everything went down the crapper first.

The TV and Streaming Thread: That's Entertainment!
Watched ep1 of the new Witcher season. It is... actually good. Looks like the backlash from the last season was so terrible that they actually got their **** together. It's a shame that Henry Cavill isn't there anymore, but Liam Hemsworth is not bad. They even remade some of the earlier scenes for flashbacks with him. Can't say how true to the books it is now, because I barely remember anything of it, but yeah... I didn't hate that episode and will watch more for now.

I suggest increasing the minimum wage to a livable standard. I'm appalled that apparently so many people who work full time are depending on food stamps in america. This is not a thing in germany. If you work full time, you usually have enough money to not depend on a soup kitchen. Of course there is social security pay, but it goes more in the direction of paying for rent and stocking up your salary.

You make the mistake of thinking that Trump is the only one who is the problem here. It's all the people behind Trump that are the problem. You can't compare this with the Biden side, like, at all. It's pure and unfiltered greed. If Trump would die tomorrow, nothing would change. They'll just turn him into this mystical godlike figure and keep on keeping on. You have to get rid of the entire upper echelon of the GOP and I doubt that's ever going to happen. That said, I really need to stop engaging with you when it comes to Trump. Your incredibly consistent naïveté (I googled how to write that, I think it's a nice word) everything Trump related gives me serious rage. That's master level political trolling.

Tbh, no. With Trump we get openly lied to every day. Sure you could argue they are more honest with their lies, since only idiots believe anything they say, but still... I'd rather have Biden with a competent team behind him than rambling sexist grandpa with his incompetent and rampant nepotism, looting the country at any chance he gets.

Problem with the statue is that its size is wrong (and the color / paint details). Here's the original for comparison: The figure in the pack looks much wider, different wheel and all that jazz. I'm guessing they did it like that to make it break less easily and get less refunds. You can probably 3d print your own much cheaper and closer to the real thing than that.

$160 special edition rerelease of FNV with some crappy merch, lol. Does the game even work on a modern PC without mods? This is so.. I don't even know what to say man. Bethsoft didn't give a **** about the game for 10+ years. Guess they finally realized that people actually like FNV. Time to power up the milk machine!

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Thread 2
Nothing I've seen about it makes me want to play it. *Maybe* I would check it out if it would be on Xbox Game Pass (no idea if it is), but since I canceled my subscription not too long ago because of the price hike, there is literally no chance of me seeing the game in person anytime soon (or ever).

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
Best examples for that are Pillars 1 and inXile's Torment, imo. Both (Torment worse than Pillars1) have a lot of dialog that is terribly overwritten and just horrible to read. And I don't even mean the baker characters. Especially Torment went way over board with descriptive text... You'll just end up skipping all of that after a couple hours. Though I'm not really blaming them - back then we all still thought that lots of text means good RPG. I blame Planescape: Torment for that, lol. Once those games were out and I've learned that a lot of text doesn't mean that it's good, I started to really appreciate Fo1's writing again. It's short, to the point, and never wastes your time. Very nice.
