Yeah doesn’t happen for me very often either, but happened twice to me in about a month now. Finished E33 recently and it was a hell of a ride the entire time. But then after that I went on to play Nier Replicant for the first time. Damn, I need a therapist after games this hard hitting.

You’re below minimum requirements on VRAM and you say it’s not optimized. Well done.

You should! It’s a very solid game with a fun story. Just don’t play like my group did and end up on NG+9 on the hardest difficulty. We JUST quit the game two weeks ago to move onto other games, but now this drops. Lol figures.

Seriously, I keep trying to get people to get a taste of it, to the point I’ve even gifted it. It’s been fascinating and beautiful and devastating. Haven’t finished it yet, but getting very close and I only regret it’ll have to end soon.

The man is an actual genius, I can’t believe how varied the OST is, from operatic, to jazz, etc, every track just works. He is at the same level of genius we all felt about Mick Gordon on his Doom OSTs, and maybe better. I know I’m dealing with recency bias, but this is one of my favorite games of all time already, and probably my #1 for OST.

Sounds like you had blades that didn’t work well with your skin. When I started using mine, I bought a big sample pack of blades and only a couple brands worked for me. The others were a nickfest.

Some games really do depend on learned conventions from previous games which can feel a bit unfair to the uninitiated. It’s a double edged sword of avoiding too much tutorializing vs alienating newcomers.

As much as I’ve been excited about this content update, I didn’t know it required a server reset to get into it. Not sure I have it in me to start over just to see this.

The most? Nah. Yes they’re fairly friendly to modders, but there’s been other cases of publishers going way out of their way to embrace a modder or mod group. I can think of one right now where a massive localization mod team actually had their work used as the basis of the official Western release of a game.

You’re also forgetting maybe the biggest factor: library selection. We used to have a lot of choices, but not literal thousands of choices across all our platforms. If we only had our choice of a few hundred games, $80 might sound more reasonable.

Yeah, definitely not Larian, they’ve always been pretty open to players and other devs alike. And if they really do end up moving on, I cannot wait to see what they do next. Maybe a new Divinity game that’s as in-depth as BG3?

I’ve never heard that this started as a mod. Last I knew, even Witcher 1 was a licensed product even at the initial development. It’s been a couple years since I watched the CDProjekt documentary though.

Cool, thank you. What’s up with the bezel? Flimsy?

How’ve you/her liked the Framework? Which one did you get? I’ve been considering one for months but I don’t have a huge need but it’d be nice to have a solid laptop rather than my Chromebook that I’m running Arch on when I’m on my couch.

Made my jump to Arch (btw) a couple of years ago and haven’t really looked back. I have Win10 as a second boot option, but that’s reserved specifically for Game Pass and VR, but it’s very rare I boot it. Don’t care to upgrade even after EOL, and I’d never recommend Arch to anyone but the most comfortable with Linux, but it’s been a great option for me.

I did see that, and it doesn’t ruin my day because as of right now everything is encrypted without any backdoors to it, but yes I’m absolutely keeping an eye on it. When I saw that headline though I was pissed. Problem is I also don’t know of any other good, safe options currently.

Thank you, I definitely looked at this sideways for a second until I realized what they meant and you confirmed my thoughts. Yeah I’m happy that my main email is now Proton, and I’m slowly moving accounts over.

Lol I’m looking at my new 9800X3D + ASRock build right now. So far so good???

Same. Honestly kinda forgot I hadn’t done so already.

Also it’s rare that a classroom would have a no watches rule.
