BG3
yeah, the singing was always stupid. after playing for around 3 hours im finally starting, as a female high elf paladin/cleric. because the paladin armor looks the coolest and i like her snarky holier than thou expression. healing spells don't need a DC boost to be useful, so i can just do most of my healing from the paladin spell pool., that way i don't have to up charisma. Not practical to increase more than 3 scores past their default i should think.

bought the game and restarted the mindflayer mission 7 times. It's an ADHD thing i have that only affects crpgs. i haven't really started until i have restarted 20 times. i wonder if a mage/monk is viable.

I*m looking forward to phantom liberty. By the way, if you are still waiting for CDPR to fix enough bugs to play Cyberpunk, it's pretty good now.

I asked for Morrowind NPC dialouge. You get what you ask for, it's... pretty terrible "Greetings, traveler. Have you come seeking knowledge? Or perhaps you're looking to trade? Either way, I'm happy to oblige. Just be warned, the roads of Vvardenfell can be dangerous for the unwary. Many dangers lurk in the ash wastes, and there are creatures that even the most skilled warrior would be wise to avoid." "Ah, it's good to see a friendly face. I've been on the road for weeks, and I'm getting tired of these blasted blight storms. It's a harsh land, this Vvardenfell, but there's something about it that keeps drawing me back. Perhaps it's the challenge, or maybe it's the thrill of exploration. Whatever it is, I can't seem to stay away." "I see you're carrying some interesting artifacts there. Care to trade? I have some rare books and scrolls that might interest you. Or if you're looking for something more practical, I have a selection of enchanted weapons and armor. Of course, such things don't come cheap. But then again, neither does survival in this land. It's a dangerous world out there, my friend. Best be prepared."- Random video game news... RNG says "Nope"
I dunno, I don't think it carried from your session While mudcrabs may not be conventionally attractive creatures, they play an important role in their ecosystem. In the real world, they serve as prey for larger animals, and help to keep waterways clean by consuming decaying organic matter. In the Elder Scrolls games, mudcrabs provide a challenge for players and can be a valuable source of resources. It's important to remember that all creatures have a purpose in the world, even if they may not be pleasing to the eye.- Avowed

I got a ps5. I guess I finally get to play bloodborne. 8 years late to the party. I was going to get a new board and ram and CPU for my setup, which is pretty badly bottlenecking my rx7900 xtx, but.. ehh. nevermind. It will be fine until there is actually a ddr 5 option that makes sense.- What are you Playing Now? - Games don't make you violent, lag does

After a very rocky start the last of us 1 is now running 60 fps on 4k ultra settings. Iooks absolutely gorgeous. I fired up Cyberpunk just to see what it looked like on ultra, and.. it's pretty meh. I mean sure there's boatloads of textures and view distance, I could even run it with ray tracing, but it still just looks good, not great. Bought new ram and stuck it in the other dual channel, meaning no xmp profile. Cheapest fix I could do quickly. I can't get framerates over 120 in any game consistently regardless of settings, because I now have both a ram speed and CPU bottleneck, but I an acceptable tradeoff that you will be making regardless. If I bought all new board ram and processor, it wouldn't necessarily impact 4k ultra that much. I can get to 95 % GPU utilization, which doesn't really warrant an immediate upgrade on a 4k display. I'm actually underclocking several game profiles to make the card less power hungry. When I do upgrade, I'm definitely getting faster ram. the difference between the Radeon metrics saying 9 gbs of ram speed and 17 was like night and day. It couldn't stream assets fast enough and was stumbling on having to swap a lot with the SSD.- What are you Playing Now? It's not how you play the game, it's how you place the blame
So, I got an upgrade and a downgrade rolled into one. I installed my shiny new XTX 7900 and I couldn't post. A day of troubleshooting later and I suspect a bad ram stick, but, worse, possibly also a bad ram slot. As if it had shorted somehow or damaged both. I have no idea what I did, other than move some cabling around. It was probably gonna go at some point nomatter what. I can post with 32 gb single channel. So I guess I'll find out what impact on experience it actually has. The game set everything to ultra by default and has been rebuilding shaders for half an hour. I'm at 18% Yay. EDIT The effect of single channel ram appears to be to put a cap on framerates. The difference between 4k ultra settings and dlls performance med/high settings comes to around 10 fps. Indicating a severe bottleneck. I guess I'm getting a board and some new ram.
