yeah we get some snow but not as bad as u i bet
think if they had me do a parallel in my exam I wouldn't have passed lol. I got most of my practice living in the city, had no choice
We got some enjoyers here too, like @obtuse dawn and I forget whom.
prob oxez.
oh btw, @sturdy field can u guys stop having those insane wildfires
i don't like my sky being orange
thx
sorry
Can't be helped.
The worst thing about those, I look at a map, I see all the smoke going around my area, straight into NY
kek
Kind of feels bad
well im jersey so i'm alittle further south
Ugh, why.
so it's not as bad as NYC
Why Jersey. 😦
idk man i ask my dad that still once in a while
why did we move from HAWAII where i grew up
to NEW JERSEY
remember the first time i hit the jersey shore after we moved and i told my dad i couldn't see my feet in the water
is that normal
I guess.
Philly is nice.
and so's NYC.
Been to Philly once, but not NYC.
Been to Miami once too.
and down in the Keys.
Been where else..
Most of the Maritime provinces.
Been to Ontario a bit, but never further than Toronto.
and been to France to visit some of the family.
S'about it.
You've traveled a bunch that's nice
finally made it to mountain pass in BG3 lol, I wanted to finish all of underdark because it seems you can't go back once you go mountain (game tells you no coming back)
nice man
ok
i am way too used to retail to play classic
where do i go
You should download this addon that tracks quests in classic
(Or not, if you want the full classic exp)
Oh they changed the options in classic, it uses the new retail UI now
I bet a lot of people are upset about that
@obsidian geyser @timid walrus
Loaf!
Is it loaf's BAERday?
Its my baerday so I got sent this old picture of disco hahahaha
So I thought might aswell share the pic with Baer
Happy BAERday!
happy baerday!! 😄
For instance, if you shape back to caster form after being in wild shape, you lose all bonuses from your stuff and have to manually unequip / reequip it
Which is super annoying, hope they fix it some day soon
happy birthday!
What you said was just an ordinary bug, how is that game breaking?
😄
just finish AC6 and Im not recommend this game 😄
So it's a good game then, noted and bought.
Well if you are ok with the game that rng play major part of the game so yes. Some parts that I dont like the game are mission areas are too small that make it hard to dodge , missions are too short and end game suck, it force you to go melee due to ammo limitation.
You learn nothing everytime you die bcuz too much rng
Customisation is the best part of this game 😭
I want PvE coop, most of my greatest game experience has been from PvE coop games 😢
Is it like Elden Ring?
Not even close
Fantastic. Hated Elden Ring.
You just sold me on the game even more
👀
Nah ER was good
Didnt say anything about boss fights
game was overhyped
for "hardcore" gamers, wtf that is
ER is my first soul game. Dont think it is too hard for new peep
Watch out Kaed, your trolls are getting too obvious, no one's going to take you seriously now
Hoot still does 😄
Though honestly, I really thought ER was overhyped and wasn't very good
For the amount of "George R.R. Martin is writing the story" hype, it fell flat in this department
||I think Raphael is about to kick my ass for stealing from him in his own household

@light pilot
||have you gone to his bedroom?||😎
||awwww no sex scene then||
||let go kill him, best fight in the game :D||
||spoiler !!||
||you can avoid fighting him and still get loots if you take his deal and take his hammer before that||
||The entire point was not to take the deal :3||
Also been to Vermont ofc, since it's basically next door from Quebec.
And been to Maine a bit.
usually while we were traveling towards the Maritimes.
and we passed through all those States on the way down to Florida. We passed through Atlantic City once, it wasn't pretty.
Casinos and hotels lining up the shoreline, with pawn shops and other similar businesses nearby. And a few miles away, you had very poor buildings with bars on the windows and such.
Those casinos and hotels are a friggin' eyesore. Blocking the view like that. If I had the power, I'd move or destroy them. =.=
||you can always break the deal anytime :D||
You were right
Well least for me, I played a solid hour and was like
Huh, not my kinda game
stuck at helicoptor boss?

I’m sure if you’re a fan of the franchise you’d like it
I just felt blah
BG3 has RUINED me
I was trying to hit spacebar to skip the cutscenes
Didn’t you recommend dark and darker?
Saw it on my list and was like oh shit I can corpse loot?!
And GW2 is a solid choice
Ya just a chill MMO that respects your time
whispers Wasteland threeeeeeee
we're all in Starfield waiting room anyway
I hope Im wrong about starfield
u propbably are i haven't seen a good take from u yet

@candid edge I meant to tell you, DOS2 on steam deck if you own one is the best experience
Plays amazingly well on it
@sturdy field too
Reaaally good
As a true druid, I helped save a little birdie earlier.
And good thing too, it's pouring rain now.
Its leg was stuck in one of our decorative garden fences and he was hanging upside down, mom went out to help him.
He flew away right after. :3
DoS2 on Switch ran really well
I imagine it would be better on deck since deck is the superior system
It would only look less good on switch, controls are prob the same
steam deck is clearly the superior system, but it's missing something the switch has
you don't tinker ever on the switch to get anything working. Not valve's fault though
That’s true. Ease of use. It just works on Switch
I've been a Linux gamer since early 2000s, what valve has done is impressive
Yeah, Deck II going to be a hard hitter I’m sure
Switch has the games tho idk
the tux super mario
is an absolute banger
Tux Racer hell yeah
isnt it super tux?
yep it is
Oh I actually never heard of it. Tux Racer is the mario kart one ha
There is Super Tux Kart too now damn


Go play BG3

You know you want to
no i want to play poe
@solid needle would be proud.
Wherever that son of a bitch is currently dunking on #guardian players
guardian is full of dummies
too busy farming poe
Path Of Exile Is Ruining Diablo 4 For Me
live now: https://www.twitch.tv/darthmicrotransaction
#diablo4 #pathofexile
Why is PoE popping up so much right now? Did they change something?
I’m not a Poe player clearly
league started last fri
Ah
im on build 3
If only Blizzard had a template when they built out D4
you know whats wild
Since we know they love stealing ideas
GGG literally used D2 as their template
Like every interview is about how great d2 was and they wanted to borrow from it
they dont even hide it
Hahaha the irony
Blizzard was like nah, we wanna make money. Fuck that.
People were saying how PoE was going to die when D4 came out but it seems like D4 in its shit design actually helped it succeed even more
who said that lol
I'd say reddit bit it'll be deflected
a weird thing to say imo, they're very different!
No kidding, one's made by a dev that loves their fans
that sounds like a meme post lol
The guy just knows what fun and freedom look like.
There's a surprisingly amount of people that thought D4 was going to be everything the hype said it was going to be
Yep you can tell he's just excited he can play it the way he wants to enjoy it
Instead of Blizzard telling him what fun is
I also think it's funny that one of DF's biggest selling point was the flying, a system they stole directly from Guild Wars 2
That's a cool thing that games copy each other
Yoshida literally said he copied wow for XIV too
Right? I don't think Blizzard would have survived without the ability
@sturdy field Im very much excited for you to get to the Iron Throne in BG3
Very very very fun experience
I just finished splintercell/blacklist and the ending cutscene is bugged, and apparently has been bugged for 5 years, sad
Damn. Now thats a game breaking bug
game has been lagging a shit ton for me, it's quite annoying
stuttering everywhere
DX11 or Vulkan?
I tried both, I run DX11 now
Could try changing out the DLSS dll
Nothing changes, I did it weeks ago and it worked fine
do you have a TL:DR of what this does?
You download from github, it swaps out the old dlss .dll for an updated one that newer games use
Larian put in an old DLSS .dll
Pretty seamless
Can I blame you if my pc explodes and I can't work tomorrow? I wouldn't be mad, day off !
Haha yeah, you can. The game just uses the .dll not the rest of your PC
Doesnt change any .dll's in your system folder, just the one in BG3
I can't use the latest one? Has to be 2.5.1.0?
@obtuse dawn sounds like it's a good league
and for folks who played both poe is a ncie reminder how much d4 is lacking rn
Apparently, I just went with 2.5.1.0 and it definitely helped
and how much better poe is rn
You can try 2.5 see what it does then swap it for the newest
I really should upgrade my pc still
is there a way to tell "if it works" ?
No more stutter? 😄
You could use geforce experience aka ALT Z and put on the FPS counter
Was just wondering, I enabled "Performance" for dlss and it doesn't show a version so I have no way to tell if it uses the right one uh
upgrade!
treat yoself!
after the initial trouble shooting of cables and why my GPU was turning off randomly, this thing plays like a dream
Im no coder, I imagine it's flipping on/off switches when it's using the .dll depending on what switch you want
Am idiot though as you know
I do know once I switched out the .dll I got 20-30 more frames

"Magic Allergy" I thought that meant they'd take more damage from it, nope, they all shifted into bigger monsters instead, like gremlins
I should use "Examine" more lmao
haha you're just like me. "Ah shit, that NPC is low on life, lemme chuck a potion at him to get his life up"... and he's dead.
I've a question.
Around 11:57 pm, almost every day, my computer tries to alt tab me out of my fullscreen game.
Is there a reason why? I'm using Windows 11, ofc.
I've been playing my games in borderless lately because of this.
Huh.
No, I don't know. :/
I sometimes will have a launcher randomly come on like EA's shit one
Which kicks me out of fullscreen]
Could be an auto-update, maybe there are logs somewhere that you could look at, still weird that it would alt-tab
Yeah might be. You should be able to look at your windows scheduler to make sure
Look under "Active Tasks"

FYI, I got some real personal shit to share with you all. I can’t grow a beard. Even in my 40s. I’ve now started putting Rogaine on it just to see if I can chia pet it
Uh, that's odd.
I gotta shave my beard every 2 weeks or so.
I'm rather hairy aside from my balding top. =.=
(Why else would I play a bear druid sometimes? XD )
Man see, I got hair on top but beard, never been able to grow one
Genetics is a bitch
Weird, is the rest of your family like that?
Had that tested
No issues there?
Anemic but that’s it
Uh.
I’m on iron now for that
Those are rich too.
So I’ve read, just bite right into it blood and all
Hmmm.
Raw
My mom makes some good kidneys from lamb or pork.
I think it’s just harder for blonde people to grow a beard
yeah, mine was auburn /brown initially, but I'm already getting peppered.
With grey?
Mhm
That shit is sexy
I'm only 37. ._.
I look at mine and I’m like hell ya
My entire left and right side of head is grey, top is blonde
Grey looks good imho
Women hide it and I’m like NO, that looks fucking experienced
ikr?
I love my wife with grey
my dad embraced his white hairs.
If women only knew men actually like it, it’s other women that shame them I think
Yeah that’s sad, I mean if it makes her feel better but I hate society wise women with grey aren’t seen as “pretty” but men are silver foxes
I compliment women with grey hair. That’s my solution
Damn I love your hair
Do it for men too
People get all happy and bashful
I stopped giving a fuck with compliments, well, older people. Younger people, nope.
You can't compliment zoomers, it's a lose/lose
For example, you got https://kiseki.fandom.com/wiki/Altina_Orion :3
She's cute.
and then you got Elie, my beloved ❤️
@obtuse dawn
Yeah see, grey
Looks good.
10/10 wouldn't compliment cause she looks 20 but would send positive vibes
You've also got Aurelia, my other beloved.
(Military general and one of the most badass women in the Erebonia Empire)
(Distant family related to Elie above)
Yeah but Laura can still grow better. :p
Aurelia is more or less at her peak.
(But damn if she's not overpowered as is)
(You don't master the 2 major sword styles of the Empire without creating a monster. XD )
Having a lot of fun in Kuro though.
Didn't know Van knew Renne. :>
Their little relationship gets explored. I just wonder if they'll become an item.
We all know the best character in the Trails series is Olivier
No doubt.
Rean may have the Trails of Cold Steel.
But Olivier has the Balls.
XD
even in Kuro, he gets mentioned. 😦
I was sad that Reverie didn't give us Kevin.
Rip.
or Ries. D:
but at least we got Wazy back.
=/
Honorable mention to Gaius. Absolute Delay S-craft is so mindboggingly broken.
And then you have the "Breakers". Mister Little Brother 1%er himself and the pink Tomboy that copies him.
I love how Crow and Randy really became iconic "Bros".
They're so cool. XD
Fie gets a little more mature in Kuro as well.
even blows off the smoke of one of her gunblades after a certain craft. ^.-
Seeing Zin again is a treat. ❤️
The big guy just grew more handsome as he was away.
Just got to see his new S-craft too. >_>
You drive a hard bargain there.
I'm not too into Towa, but she has her cute moments.
Fie definitely is good though. Especially now that she's reached her maximum size and height. ❤️
What about Anelace? Think we'll ever see her again?
"I'm invincible! Or am I?"
Olivier is definitely one of the best characters in Trails history though. For all his shenanigans.
Being Mueller must be pain.
I like how casually Falcom used the Bonding scene from CS4 and what they did with it in Reverie.
_>
Just saw a new Dominion and his acolyte. Damn, she's a real cutie, but a firebrand.
What do you think about Cao Lee? Dude is also pretty fearless.
It's like he's always playing 4D chess. =.=
(And he does it all with a smile)
I also love how some of the books are actually grounded in reality.
And you don't know if the stories they tell are real or not....
||Until you meet them.||
Lol! There's a shop out there in the game that sells "Softshell Turtle Drink"! XD
Hehehe someone actually takes feedbacks from Larian forum into a mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1465
Hopefully Larian does an AI pass next update

Josh strife hayes has some great videos
An MMO can be a lot of things just lean into your strengths and do what you do well 🤷♂️
I haven’t watched a lot of Josh hayes to have a solid opinion of him
@obtuse dawn another good source of iron would be black pudding. Or black blood sausage, basically.
Yeah true but that’s not the video
But wows endgame isn’t what I’d classify as “good” either 😂
But yeah, anything meat-based contains iron, even some sea food.
Hey, we made content that we’ll reuse every season with the same items, doing the same thing and guess what? New season will come out and we’ll make you do it over again.. and again.. and again. Hey, that’s some mighty fine end game content 😂😂😂
Very true! Black pudding sounds disgusting though
But nothing in season2 was in season1
But it will be in season 3! 👍
Or 4 then the cycle repeats next expansion with 4 new dungeons youre going to play play dozens and dozens of times.
Black pudding is delicious if cooked right.
I had some recently. 😄
Such great endgame 🤟
Answer (1 of 4): Amazing amazing amazing.
One of my favourite foods or sausages when in sausage form which is the usual.
It's made with blood, oats, salt, spices,suet and fat
There is chunky and smooth pudding to chewy versions some don't have some of the fore mentioned ingredients.
Blood i...
Huh, taste the iron
who would have thought, blood sausage tastes like blood

I mean, I'm French, so I eat it often enough.
That or sausages.
It's all delicious to me though.
As an American we think Ketchup Chips are disgusting, I can’t imagine getting blood pudding to catch on
I don't like Ketchup chips either.
So heh.
I love them
ketchup chips are ok
agreed
they kinda suck
absolutely not
vinegar ones are quite solid
but have to be decent quality chips
I don't need to take this kind of negativity in my life
yea ketchup chips are mid af, vinegar not bad if it's been awhile
yea cant have too many for sure
idk if you got miss vickies round your parts but those are nice, very crunchy doe
like rip apart your mouth crunchy
Nice artwork
That's actual gameplay.
You fool. X)
Not artwork.
Unless you meant art work, as in the graphics being used.
Is the traveler chest in camp an infinite-slot container? It seems like every bag has infinite space too?
Yeppers
😄
Oh man that hurts
Hardcore Uber Lilith, she goes stunned/vulnerable at 1% and he dies, rip
Nah he fucked up
Well kinda
If she channels the screech even if u stagger her her clones still do the attack you gotta run around in circles on the last platform
And only reason why she’s at 1% and Immune is because he did a build with giga damage to kill her almost insta but she has to play out the 3 platform breaks
ive died that way a few times cause i saw blood and a dead boss on my screen then went in for the kill
then got clapped by her clone

You can see the rage quit at the end too, escape->exit lmao
he just had to run around in circle for 5 more seconds
or less
then he had a kill
lmao
Cuties. ❤️
Had a weird encounter in XIV today @obtuse dawn - We were doing the last raid to help someone get their pants token, a black mage gets hit by everything, says "heals plz", w/e I rez him, gets hit by everything again, and declines every rez after. We had to healer LB3 at some pt since people were dying, that forced them alive, they jumped off platform to die again lol
Reported them and got a reply not too long after, hope they get a nice vacation :)
some people just want to be miserable i guess lol
very weird individual
Yeah. But at least hey, Yoshi-P is in-game to tell me everything will be all right. I love that he just has his own NPC lol
ketchup chips are pretty nice
bleh.
I only eat kettle cooked chips nowadays.
They're crispy just the way I like it.
Kettle cooked is defs the best chip method
@light pilot
no EA and you believe that? even BG, have EA for so long but still has a ton of bug.
well the game is meant for modding so it is acceptable, I guess.
I think
Bethesda games are so notoriously buggy
On launch and just fucking terrible about it
Just having a normal amount of bugs would be a monumental achievement

bethesda just embraces "debug on prod"
does anyone know where i could post to get help on my 1st clear of the mega dungeon?
general or spec channel
I don’t even see the point 🙄
I got all into xiv again then BG3 robbed my playtime
Gw2 is consuming me
Very fun game so it’s understandable
Ya
As a guy who liked completing everything and filling bars in an MMO zone before moving on, gw2 kinda right up my alley lol
hmm EA reviews are not looking great for starfield
The nice thing about gw2 is it very much is a take it as you want kinda game
So chill
Nah game is gonna be great
Funny enough I’ve done ZERO research on Starfield. Haven’t looked up a damn thing 😂
Yeah horizontal progression
Don’t fall behind
It’s kinda cool I can take a detour for starfield come back and don’t feel any fomo
Link
w8 I watched the guy talking about AI behavior and eyes contact yesterday
and today so many ppl talking about boundary thing
@light pilot as a child: https://youtu.be/LBeCA-tay88?si=VqjcdH7nmqe-Yvle

Still need link if you got one lol
Hoot is a serial killer of fun
“Ah I see you about to enjoy this game, let me tell you all the ways it sucks”
not exactly the person that i read but the contents is the same
https://twitter.com/PrinceVampi/status/1695907806627381713?s=20
So let’s recap the L’s #Starfield received in only 2 days..
-Bluetooth melee a space Dino that looks like a morning wood.
-Boundaries in the “1000” empty planets
-Guns that look like it produced in a gum factory
This game are not supposed to reach 80 metacritic score.

Sorry for putting "The" in the title, I'm definitely not the only one.
Starfield is Bethesda's brand new IP coming to us in ONE MONTH. I'm excited for the game for sure.. but very curious and questioning how it will truly be compared to what we've been shown so far. Regardless, there's good and bad things to talk about! I hope you guys enjoy th...
I can understand why they dont make seamless world
their old games were ctd bcuz of that
I do think the hype kinda overblown
My expectations is that it’ll be a solid Bethesda game to pass the time
But people saying it’ll dethrone BG3
That’s a really high bar lol
i think bcuz skyrim that make ppl think like that
Even BG3 has its major faults though ya know? Everyone is looking for games now to be their “forever” game chasing nostalgia, I feel for devs even Blizzard with this now
If I get 20 hours of playtime, that’s $65 well spent
Starfield will be exactly like we’re all picturing but that’s the charm of what makes it the way it is. Fallout 4 was hot garbage but it was fun hot garbage
I actually hate the idea of this
I don’t want to wait 130 hours for the game to pick up

If I don't get 1h per dollar spent, it's not a good investment for me.
You could place bets on that.
And Hoot could stream.
I’d love to watch hoot crush games and complain the whole time doing it
Also what happened to amance
He got scolded for posting bear gifs in the Guardian channel a month ago or so, haven't seen him since
That's wild, I don't think the Ferals do that when you post cats.
That seems alittle extreme
Do balance druids get scolded for posting bird pictures?
or Resto druids for posting trees? =/
Feral spams cats all the time
There's a personality test somewhere that could probably explain that.
I’m also allergic 🤣
A compelling argument.
I think they just got tired of useless bear facts in guardian
They warned them and then they basically mauled
No such thing as useless bear facts.
Never know when you'll come face to face with one. 🙂
meowled ?
You know guardian, they dont fuck around there
Lately this is prob the channel that's offering the most help (like people literally dissecting whole logs on their own time). But there's lots of anger sometimes too lol
and poor amance got told off too
Guardian just tolerates less off topic stuff I think
Whereas feral resto and balance frequently talk random shit lol
I dont think im gonna spend only 130 hours in this game. I expect more than 1k+ hours.
???
Same as skyrim
there is plenty of off-topic in guardian, just that people often clash in what is wrong and good ways to play / think about the spec. The usual is people who just want to be a brick wall tank with defensive setups that are just bad and then they clash with people who know better
Btw @shy mesa speaking of Gaius here's a true story
I spent 200€ to buy an alto flute to play this theme

(It has become my favorite instrument since then :3)
I think it's about reading the room, if people are clashing about info, builds etc. Probably not a good time to bring up IRL bear facts
You're just gonna aggro the crowd
Now if people are talking about off topic stuff, sure. Throw it in there.
I think the guy I admire the most in the Guardian channel is Xora
They manage to be super helpful, super humble, super understanding and super good at their class all at the same time
You're a part of the problem 😄
Walking in expecting a game to have 1,000 hours of content? You're nuts.
I believe in modders not bethesda
I read the articles about the bitching of boundaries
I don't get the complaint
Did they really expect there to be ZERO off limit areas?
Have these people never gamed before
It has nothing to do with me. Havent heard of seamless mod in skyrim?
As long as they keep promise that this game is gonna be modder paradise. I can ignore all the problems.
Cyberpunk taught me never to expect anything good out of a video game and be surprised when you do
I havent played that game
Todd promise that lol and im sure they still cant fix render issue that cuz ctd and bloating save.
Ah yes, the first time you hit the Nord Highlands! 😄
I still remember that flute.
I'll probably miss Nord the most out of all locations in Erebonia.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst! 🙂
Gaius' progress in SC3 was unexpected but great.
Kinda nice we finally got to see what that other Dominion was capable of. ^.-
think he's number 1 or 2 in the Order, right?
The Partitioner.
or however his name is spelled.
Then again, you had the showdown at the end with everyone. >_>
And it ends with that blasted cliffhanger.
CS4 was so worth it though.
Hajimari /Reverie is where the real fun was though. :^P
Those huge steppes always have the best music, Gaur Plains, Land of Blue Skies, From Past to Present...
Full customization of around 54 playable characters.
Wish they made a new Ys x Kiseki fighting game and released it in the west
Falcom basically told you, ok. Last chance. Go ham.
Give it to Arc System Works and I'm 100% sold
I never played the Ys games much.
I'm always a little worried that games will be too easy with that many characters around
since it's mostly ARPG.
Ys is super good
yeah yeah.
It's ARPG but the boss fights are among the finest I've ever played
hrm.
I'm not too sold on arpgs though. I prefer turn-based. =/
Which is sadly a declining genre.
I only made exceptions for some games.
like Skyrim, the Witcher series...
The first Zeldas.
game genres I just won't play is probably FPS.
and horror.
survival too.
Anything else is probably fair game.
oh, I don't play sports or racing games either.
not fun.
puzzle, mystery games are good.
Strategy games are not bad either.
Just not sold on those reflex games, or anything that has to do with RNG.
you had a bad experience wtih Rahool the cryptarch?
madness is fun doe?
||Was running a coop game with friends, it turns out that killing Gale fucks up your game and causes a game over a few long rests later||

||Another reason to hate Gale and leave his dumbass back at camp||
just killdge
|| isn’t he like a walking bomb ||
ye
That guy ain’t right
||He is, but when you actually uses him as one in Moonrise Tower, he does a weak puff that kills everything in the room||
We just decided to murder every companion on sight except Karlach who'll complete our group
|| Yeah there was an option for gale to just be a giant bomb and sacrifice himself to one shot the last boss. So he’s good for something ig ||
Man
I see scenes and characters on twitter for this game
And I’ve never seen these scenes or have no clue who these characters are
🤣
Welp, know what Im gonna do now
Least favorite character next to Toadie woman
🤣
That's what I plan to do with my Storm Sorcerer / Tempest Cleric of Talos 
Justified by RP, Talos is the embodiment of chaos with lightning striking anywhere
Welp. I'm not sure how far you are in the Trails series, but...
if you completed Reverie and the scenarios that come after...
Well, let's just say the new players introduced are interesting. ^^
oh, and Talos is pretty cool, for a chaotic entity.
Too bad his priests are usually assholes.
I just recognized another face from Cold Steel. ^^
obviously intended as part of the story telling "You can't solve every problem, like in the real world"
- someone, probably
- Hoot, probably
You know what they say about problems... If violence isn't solving all of them, you're not using enough. 🙂
(I'm joking...)
Sometimes I wish this server allowed reactions
I would thumbs up your stuff MVPhil

As someone who used to play bear: 
Heh, I don't mind, not here for popularity, just messing around and saying what I want.
Doesn't matter, you're MVPhil for a reason
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
the cub just finally showed up at my camp start of act 3 and i'm in love he's so cute
i don't think i'm out of act 1 yet
you'd know there's a point of no return confirmation 🙂
tbh i think i'm not long resting enough
i found an infinite money glitch in bg3
for some reason the 4 grease bottles in the trade window won't go into his inventory but i can keep selling them like they are
he ran out of money to give me
wait that's crazy i can buy everything he has and just get all my gold back after
smh look at this cheater
it must be spaghetti code
game ended up releasing a month early to avoid conflicting release dates with other games from what i've heard
seems a bug with a couple specific vendors
and it's not just glass bottles that do it
odd
whew, this chapter of kuro was interesting.

So late for IGN. We've been talking about this for 2 weeks and the article didnt even talk about what we know in the forum but point only on Minthara.

i had a moment when rescuing halsin where somehow astarion fast travelled away. entering the goblin building as astarion provided instant death because of all the hostile goblins. i had to fight my way to the front door down a character and had him enter mid-combat
such a pain that vampire
Loading screens in act 3 make me want to gouge my eyes out, they're 4 Thymes as long as those in acts 1 and 2 for seemingly no reason

want to see someone do a whole bg3 run wielding nothing but salami and bonking enemies on the head with it
Can BAER eat the salami?
play lock/soc you dont need weapon
I didn’t really notice that personally
I think a lot of reviewers didn’t play act 3 based on their scores
I can understand if the game is 5 acts with one being buggy but with only 3 acts it’s not a good thing
it is not game breaking bug
Doesn’t matter, they had time to smoothen it out but they decided to release it 🤷♂️
Plus cutting content on that third act
Reviewers musta seen it if they actually played the third act thoroughly
cutting content on 3rd act is only upper city
5 acts and 1 is bad sure
Only upper city where a lot of those quests were supposed to end
They got lazy, they did the same stuff with act 5 in DOS2 that was fixed later
I’m sure the Definitive version will fix it all
In a year and a half
Plus they cut endings from characters too
Which to me in the real villain based on spending 100+ hours with certain characters
Im not sure about they are being lazy but they cant release EA on last act that for sure
Come on now they had to see it was buggy with cut content
They coulda delayed it 2-3 months to fix it
Hell a month
It’s a solid 8/10 game, when they fix and add in the cut content it’ll easily be 10/10
im really ok with the current state of the game, still 10/10 for me
DOS2 had the same pattern, conspiracy side of me thinks it’s Larian banking on making more money in a year with the DE version
Let it be seen by @sturdy field I also critique bad decisions by other devs too besides blizzard 😉
Starfield definitely going to be 10/10
who care about starfield base game
hope so
||Forgot to pick up a motivator during a fight in the foundry, all gondians went boom :c They served their purpose as meat shields, tho :3||
Those things were impossible to click sometimes I stg
I was thankful they didn't make you roll on it every time
@obtuse dawn speaking of silver foxes from yesterday:
He's not that old, but there's this guy in my game.
Like, I'm not gay in the least, but there's some pretty hot-looking guys in this game sometimes. >_>
That's a butch queen
Exactly
XD
She has a sword though.
A big-ass sword.
She's a sister in that world's religious order.
So yeah, probably not a lesbian.
Just a tomboy that doesn't take shit from punks and such.
Nothing wrong with a company trying to make money tbh. But then you have companies like Paradox who make really good games but milk the fuck out of DLCs :(
DLCs that are cosmetic only annoy me.
Blizzard does not make bad decisions ever
Trust the process
Doubting the blizzard dev overlords is a grave sin
Paradox releases a lot of DLCs and expansions for their games, but issue if for example you were to say "Hey I'd like to get into Stellaris!" well have fun now you got to buy every expansion to have the full product
The only overlords I respect and admire are the cats.
The rest are just puny humans.
It's a girl.
Yes
Can assure you.
Is this better?
Lol.

This isn't Final Fantasy, you doof.
they all look the same
and if you really want a Sephiroth, I can show you the equivalent.
one thing I dont like about jrpg
How about this guy?
ok this is a guy
That's the Divine Blade of Wind. Arios MacLaine.
He's one of the strongest characters in-game. ^^
(and heck, you even ||get to control him in Trails into Reverie||.)
Not only can he remove buffs with his first skill that covers a wide area, and also interrupts them...
He can buff himself to give himself a large strength, speed and defense buff for 4 turns. >_> Plus a status that makes him dodge more often, and 10% more crit.
thats a thot
I see dispel is always be the best ability
His S-craft is one of the rare 5S skills in the game. >_>
You know it's gonna hit hard.
I just learned his Japanese VA is actually the one that does voice Sephiroth though. XD
if you wanna see his S-craft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCw4cjmRP1k (Yes, it's in Japanese, but the English VA is meh)
【創の軌跡】アリオス Sクラフト : 弐ノ太刀・荒神天衝

Yeah.
He doesn't fuck around.
oh, and if you want the OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTilwYEcfYY

oh yea, if you wanna see all the ultimate moves of every character in english: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS09eFOVj1A
I've also included Crossbell old S-crafts/moves from previous games. The Phantom enemies i didn't bother with then except for one as they all have the same s crafts but with no voice line.

But there are spoilers, you have been warned.
Don't watch if you intend to play.
that ok not my type
All good o/
dont like this kind of turn base
- Ian probably
You think you want it but you don’t…
Copies 4 versions of private WoW servers
See what we made for you?! You’re welcome.
Idiots.
Chris Metzen for prez
Well, that's what S-crafts are for.
You can "cut in" the turn order as long as you have 100 out of the 200 CP needed for it.
(Heck, you even have this broken Time spell that allows you to act 2 turns in a row if you want)
You have ways to manipulate the turn order in this game. =/
Delaying enemies, breaking them.... There's even some skills and orders that give you "accelerate" which gives all affected characters immediate turn.
I mean im not the person that playing stat comparing type.
There's also some statuses you can inflict that CC the enemy.
as I ever told you my strat in bg3, it has nothing to do with stat

Giga haste and action surge and sneak attack pewpew
that call strat
this is actual abusing
I got lego bow
Celestial haste
Then I rerolled to 5 ranger 5 rogue 2 fighter
Big pewpew
lol 8+ hits in one turn
@obtuse dawn that how you did 300-500+ dmg in one turn as monk
Fed to the rule and I hit the ground runnin'
Burst is boring, but chaining multiple hits though. 😄
I gotta say I do get a kick of seeing high burst numbers though. Mostly from crits. ^^
like, damn.
Perfect antidote for folks who don’t naturally love turn based
Just make fights 1 turn
I mean, aside from bosses, I can do that in my trails games if I pop S-crafts and play well.
See, I got this guy here, has a SS strength S-craft, loaded on STR items, high crit, and he has a quartz that increases his crit dmg further.
Needless to say, he kicks a lot of ass.
He's kinda squishy, but I got a tank and some support countermeasures if he goes down.
Doubt I'll need it since I'm playing on normal though, but can't be too careful.
Some DoTs can be pretty powerful.
In Etrian Odyssey for instance, if you can land poison on the early mobs and invest a lot in it, it'll melt them. Even bosses.
(And you even have classes that deal more dmg the more statuses you have on target. Lolz)
Poison falls off the further you go though.
Think Im gonna pause on Act 3 till the patch comes out
"Patch 2 is around the corner. It features major performance improvements, many new tweaks & changes, and begins our journey incorporating feedback into Origin Character epilogues, among other major things. Details coming soon."
dont wait. it wont be fixed until DE
Im in zero rush, hell I restarted DOS2 again
Definitely enjoy not having to rest
and having a combat system where I can use my spells/actions freely
That's something that's still annoying to me THB. I swapped my main character from druid to rogue yesterday to stop ahving to manage spellslots or wild shift charges
Yeah I wish they woulda been in an option to forgo it and do it like DOS2
Don’t need to worry about any of that
No need to short rest every battle then long rest. I know it’s a dnd thing but maaaan does it get old in BG3
Actually there’s a mod that’ll turn it in DOS2’s better combat system
Gets rid of resting
lol imagine playing warlock
Pretty sure they did that in Trails too.
a certain % of hp.
I saw an option to use a specific dice or not I think somewhere in settings, but I guess this whole spell slot thing is DnD-specific ?
It is :/
Karmic dice just makes sure you don’t get continually screwed with bad rolls
I left it on, not sure if thats good or not. I save scum so w/e :D
That made me go back and watch the scene in the Mr. Bean movie where he paints a face over a painting he ruined lmao
Did you pass the check? It’s too funny

I know who you're replying to and I haven't seen one of their message in a while - and it seems everyone keeps telling them they're wrong lmao.
you need to get romance to Karlach asap
They tried spoiling the ending of Karlach a week ago for me and now, it’s not happening 😂😂
Soo I will gladly rub it in said face
ooo who
Hoot
I wasn’t even half way through and they spoiled Karlachs ending 🙄
Yeah, that only deserves a golfclap, nothing more.
🤷
Not wrong.
Going to do an evil @somber pumice run through after
gonn replay the game
i think i just watch youtube for endings and scenes i missed
i went to youtube to watch splintercell:blacklist ending this weekend because apparently that cutscene never worked with nvidia cards :(
you will miss interactions between companions in act3 that have been improved
Smart.
@solid needle Did you ever put in for this 3M lawsuit due to hearing loss?
Friend of mine just talked to his lawyer and it looks like he's getting $20k back
I called bullshit but he showed me the paperwork
No shot lol, it’ll go to class action at best and people will get like $.30
Yeah I thought the same
I didnt even bother
Though if people start making $20k I'm gonna kick myself
30cents is still what, 6 bubble gums?
Maybe 20 years ago
Inflation in the US, we actually owe on the bubble gum now
the ones that had a comic in the package
With the hardass bubble gum 😄
I could buy a bucket of those gums, 17cents each, damn inflation
😦
This inflation needs to go down.
Maybe if we headshot Putin and end the war in Ukraine. 🙂
Assassin Phil
Any good?
I liked it
I only played the very first one, conviction and blacklist, apparently I missed the "very good" ones
I haven’t played one since the first one either. Stealth games usually piss me off due to being impatient 😂
hrm
True
I hate stealth games, getting chased, and timers and have to get out because the place explodes
Conviction and Blacklist give you the choice to either stealth or not
I just killed everyone with SMGs and shotguns 👍
😂😂😂 excellent
