RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I just tried the GOG version on Windows 10 with a GTX 970. Worked without a hitch. Saw Taris and quit though, so that's one issue that's not ever going away...

KOTOR's PC version was always pretty broken and the issues got worse over time. It's possible to get it running when installing from the original discs but it often requires the use of third party patches and even then usually ends in the player having to turn off the cutscenes and certain dialogues skipping right to the end. In my experience the best bet to get a decent out of the box experience is to go with the GOG version.

Yup, their breakthrough is pretty amazing and awesome. I wonder if all the people in the world who are Israel-haters and/or are antisemetic will stand by their 'principles' and disavow the cure for themselves. Nah. The joos already have a cure for cancer and are killing everyone else with chemotherapy and implanted kill switches.- TV's Vast Wasteland
Yeah. I've seen a lot of people say they think S2 is a big improvement but to me both have been pretty much run of the mill Voyager/ TNG S1 level, which isn't great.- TV's Vast Wasteland
Watched STD S02E02. Well that turned back to being disappointing very quickly.- Vidgy Game Soundtracks

Be sure to find the Path of Pain. It's... yeah, behind a breakable wall. Heh.- The Metal Thread

I can't take them seriously, they made Bard's Tale win "best remake" award. What the hell is Kenshi doing there :D The Bard's Tale remake is easily the best remake/remaster I've ever played and the best game in InXile's entire catalogue. Best joke I've heard all week. A ton of glitches, completely broken pathing, crashes that corrupt save files, terrible optimalization, combat that is basically rocket tag and very easy to exploit... do I need to go on? The game is 6/10 on Steam atm and that's pretty generous for this piece of crap. You do know that the The Bard's Tale Trilogy is not The Bard's Tale IV, right?- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Oh you guys, he's just gone gray. Look at him, he doesn't look that old.- The Food Thread
Nah, no Frenchies in my family that I know of. I had relatives in the French Foreign Legion but I doubt that counts. Properly boiled beef is divine. Sadly that usually means doing it yourself, otherwise you're all too often getting a slab of grey stuff that vaguely resembles food and tastes like arse.- What game did you bought last?
ME:A is easily worth the money for the combat and exploration. The rest of the game is... not up to par, but not nearly as bad as the initial reactions made it out to be. Even if everyone's face is a little tired.- The Food Thread
Boiled beef with vegetables and some marrow from the bones spread on bread as well as a nice soup with Leberknödel. And yeah, it tastes a lot better than it sounds.- Pachfinder Bugmaker: The Rekkoning
I can't take them seriously, they made Bard's Tale win "best remake" award. What the hell is Kenshi doing there :D The Bard's Tale remake was actually really well done, even with making the 99 Barbarians fight a one time event.- What are you playing right now?
You assume correctly. The next version is one of the most enjoyable boss fights I've had in any Metroidvania (or side-scroller in general).- What did you do today?
Heh, I just read the Outer Worlds forum description for the first time. Little things like these make this place so enjoyable.- TV's Vast Wasteland
Ignoring the unfixable issues Discovery has that really was an entertaining episode. Michael is also no longer an unsufferable arsehole, which helped immensely. It does have an action sequence on Star Trek 2009 level of ridiculousness, but that's par for the course I guess.- What are you playing right now?
In my experience that isn't true. Certain charm combinations can utterily trivialize bosses to the point of them being a pushover, e.g. Shaman Stone and Spell Twister combined with Stalwart Shell will allow you to kill Troupe Master Grimm with Howling Wraiths while he's shooting fireballs - just tank the hits and blast away. There's no reason not to tailor charms to the boss you're fighting or struggling with. At least not unless you're either doing a speed run or can't, like in the Pantheons.- The Food Thread
Hum, fried Camembert is properly enjoyed with lingonberry jam.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
LucasFilm always had the same stance and deal for creators of fan content, in particular films. You're allowed to use and do whatever you like as long as the creators fund themselves make no money off their work. Star Wars Theory got the same deal (check the videos) and stuck to it only for Disney going ahead to collect all the possible ad revenue LucasFilm wasn't allowing Star Wars Theory to have. And we're talking a lot of money here, considering how popular the fan film turned out to be. Comparatively, Nintendo had a similar, but not quite the same deal for streamers and YouTubers. Nintendo's terms were that they either make no money off their games or if they do, need to sign up and collect through their creator program. They took a share. I said had there because Ninentdo changed their stance recently and you now can fully monetize without them taking a share. I always thought that Nintendo's decision wasn't a smart one as the money they could potentially make from the creators program was never in the same league as the free marketing they get from video and streaming platforms feeding the hype train. Guess that was true considering their change of heart, but the manurestorm from that decision was hilarious. It reminded me of how proponents of alternative medicine harp on about the multi billion dollar machine that big pharma is while happily ignoring how the billion multi dollar machine alternative medicine is selling them sugar and salt for 500$ a pound. Sure LPers weren't happy about Nintendo's decision to be greedy and wanting in on their monetization scheme. But guess why? Yeah. Moneys. What else?- What are you playing right now?
