I wanted the 20 Engineering Perk and the 20 Leadership perk but your method gets you a whole bunch of stuff in science/hack/medicine/speech whatever your other two skills are besides Guns. A mod where you get 5 skill points a level would be AMAZING or let you take Easily Distracted as a...

I have seen Treasure Hunter referenced in quite a few places, from Steam forums/Guides to YouTube comments. That may just be people self-reinforcing, or it could be accurate; it's going to be some time until we get numbers to back up any of these claims. There is a ton of conflicting info right...

You know that's a Satirical propaganda clip from an In-universe show? Its making fun of Woke crap. I am nearing the middle(end?) of the 2nd planet, which I didn't/don't like because its a Fallout-level of destruction war-torn devastated area(Fallout post-apocalypse people should love it)...

My 42" LG C4 is the best monitor I have ever had. I can imagine that its easier on the Xbox, though. My solution for that was I also had an Xbox Series X and a PS5 on my desk. Now I have a giant L, with my main PC/Work laptop and XSX with the 42 C4 on one side, and my Mac mini/PS5/Switch 2 on...

That's because you aren't using an OLED TV as a PC monitor. Can't argue about the sound but I haven't tried/cared in 15 years for a surround sound at my desk. I just don't care enough about the sound above a certain level. I had Altec Lansing 5.1 systems for years and just quit after the...

He's Austin Leftist with a hefty helping of TDS: He was probably OK back when public people were content with not spewing their politics on social media 24x7 but today? He's selling to a decidedly smaller audience then if he would just STFU:

This was fun, we need to do this more often, with JUST a bit less (/Bob Uker) alcohol. The Duel of the two hyperverbal drunks fates was amazing. Dying to ghost chicks at 6 Tanglewood Ln was great.

Its not made to spread around; the game does not encourage (IE actively discourages) spreading points around AT ALL. It's a systems that encourages specialization and limiting yourself to 3/4-5 skills per playthrough and to encourage roleplay/replayability. Skyrim it ain't. There is not a...

I did it Thursday night, man. Premium edition. I've been shooting Crabbles and auto-mechanicals all day. The questing is brutal to jack of all trades and "encourages" i.e. demands replayability by enforcing specializing, at least early on. Spreading points around between various skills...

Avowed, other than a couple of little things and one companion, was not that bad; The Garrus-voiced companion had a gay relationship briefly touched upon in one quest, for instance and there was a DEI companion who never shut up about Woke BS the whole time who I left at camp the entire time. I...

The only thing keeping MS its current Desktop OS position is A) Windows ubiquity; Market inertia. It's the same thing that kept Intel as the biggest chipmaker FOREVER, until they weren't. Now, MS has multiple standards that aren't going anywhere, Office, Windows, Azure, etc, and the Services...

"No no now wait, get this: We are going to do an Xbox One but the OTHER WAY. Rather than taking over the living room, our thing is going to take over the OFFICE. BAAAAALLLLLZZZ"

I was reading though some old Penny Arcades and found this gem: Grift. It never changes.

Age of Conan -- Play for Free!!! I've played about 1 day of this, since at the time the word was it was great up to the City™/level 20 and not so good afterwards? but I watched Az play quite a bit of it and it seemed pretty great in whatever form he was playing at the time, this would have been...

What's sad is WOW was so big it basically drained all other lakes, I guess, so there wasn't enough left over for GW2 and TSW and all of these other admittedly more niche MMOs to survive together. Or the Devs didn't plan effectively for how many players they would need, etc. Or they didn't go...
