I damned those bugs myself with a combo of napalm, flamethrower, and incendiary breaker.

But in all seriousness there are some huge bugs that can ruin a run you spent almost 40 minutes on… So I also bring a 500kg to deal with those.

My dream scenario is having the map almost cleared, and then BAM there’s a sneak attack on Super Earth. We’re all suddenly fighting on a new tileset and have to push back from the center of the map.

Whether or not the game needs this anti-cheat feature, players are still finding ways to give other players huge amounts of Samples (a grindable resource with limited amounts included in each mission) and spawn in unreleased equipment and stratagems.

So clearly the GameGuard isn’t as useful as it could be.

And a personal order to get Autocannon kills.

Locked and loaded, get those bots exploded.

Even these middle-aged hack frauds can’t deny that Andor is real good!

Not sure about this guys - not even Overwatch wants to be Overwatch right now…

What I really need is that red urbie. Three times faster than a normal urbie… So it can move slightly faster than a geriatric driver circling a parking lot.

From what I understand, it does not get kernel access on Linux. That’s why the game wouldn’t run the first couple of days. After they patched it, it just makes a web call and lets you play the game.

BG3 was in development for 6 years, had a huge budget, and a development studio with experience making RPGs.

You can’t expect a small, indie studio to match that when they’ve only had… Jesus 9 YEARS!!!

Oh yeah, making it an FPS was a weird choice. But that wasn’t a dig at the 1999 game, but at Red Eagle Entertainment, the group that announced and never made several video games over the years. Also responsible for the lousy attempt at adapting WoT as comics (which took 5 years to release 8 comics)… oh, AND the Winter Dragon TV pilot.

Never mind, my comment was almost entirely aimed at Red Eagle.

The Wheel of Time and licensing their IP rights to hack-frauds, name a more iconic duo.

Music, video games, comics, the Canadian TV pilot… I don’t like the Amazon show, but at least it was actually you know, produced.

I agree with the CEO, wait. It’s not worth getting right now.

…and if you don’t buy it, maybe I can get through the damn queue.

It’s also been great to see new affordable entry-level equipment become available. I had a friend finally get an espresso machine a few months ago, and I was able to point him to the Fellow Opus, which is only $195 ( and was on sale for $150).

To your point on “When to invest?” - there are certainly things this grinder could do better, but he has yet to hit a real problem in his coffee making. So sure, an $800 grinder might have fewer fines or more micro-adjustments, but that’s not really offering any value to him at the moment.

After the Helldivers 2 release Sony started talking about getting more aggressive with PC releases, so I think we’re going to see a lot less console only releases.

All the gameplay I saw on release did not look quality. It simply did not seem fun to play, you can hit all the feature check boxes, but if your game is just a bunch of blinding particle effects it’s going to get panned.

In the linked speech Swen says:

I also want to thank @Wizards_DnD and specifically the DnD team for giving us carte blanche. I’m really sorry to hear so many of you were let go. It’s a sad thing to realize that of the people who were in the original meeting room, there’s almost nobody left. I hope you all end up well

Penny Arcade also had a post yesterday about hearing from former WOTC team members who have been let go.

I’d recommend Killing Mr. Kringle.

It’s a very silly one shot, and it takes 0 prep. It’s a super-streamlined Forged in the Dark game where you’re mischievous little scamps instead of scoundrels.

they probably can’t use the ZP aesthetic going forward.

Now I wouldn’t say that:

You just gotta squint a bit.

“Our goal remains tricking as many people as possible into wasting money on this skinner box.”

Yeah, it’s kind of messed up that I read a 66 as a stunningly negative response.

“Gave me a terminal disease.” - 6/10
