I was super jealous of the extra points and after long thought, I just triggered it. I don't know if I would have triggered it at 4 because leveling Lockpicking up to 8 was pretty critical but I missed out on so many checks not having Speech/Hack/Science at at least 5, I just put points in...

I feel for folks having to start or switch an Rx; As a Type 1 diabetic I take a ton of meds now in my mid 50s. I remember when I started my 40s I was taking two things, now 15 years later its like 12? [Edit: I started this post to talk about how all of the complications listed at during every...

Answering some of my own questions; Thanks for the quick responses, guys: https://wccftech.com/dram-prices-expected-to-soar-as-memory-makers-priortize-server-ddr5-over-pc-memory/ Edit: So after reading a large number of things, I think this is more RAM bust/boom pricing and GPU speculative...

What the MF ass is happening? When I built my PC last year, 64 RGB Corsair was $199sh? Now its 400-500 bucks? Lots of kits over 500 dollars. Did South Korea shut down? Insanity,

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...

Was it one month before GW2? Because I felt like I spent a fair amount of time with TSW and after GW2 released, it pulled me in completely; I played multiple classes to 80. Looking it up, they were one calendar month but almost two months apart: TSW "released" 3-July-2012 and GW2 released...

New World has a lot of problems but the skill system and combat, at least previously, were really a lot of fun. They needed to do Eve economics in New World to make the game work: EQ economics was never going to last when you are constantly crafting new items and currency into an economy and...

That's a great point, and I didn't consider it only because the 3D graphics but absolutely agree M&M3 and even the Ultimas, I started with Ultima 3 and then went back (or tried to) to the earlier ones on my Apple IIe. I will need more space to full deploy my maxima mea culpa. Daggerfall may be...

I got into Legends, My guy Shotgun/Hammer guy was in the Desert; I can't remember before or after the big fight at the hotel. I would assume before, since I am still with the rebels. That train mission in Egypt still stands out to me as AMAZING. All of Kingsmouth is fantastic, especially the...

I bought the full fucking boat version on like 17 different platforms, so surely I have it somewhere it can be modded. (Really just Steam/Upgrade from Gamepass/MS Store, and Xbox; I also bought a Starfield Xbox controller, Super Deluxe edition(s), and and upgraded my 3080 to a 7900XTX to play...

I used a literal regular long "shoebox" cassette recorder for the tape drive with my TI-99 4/A; when I moved up to the Apple IIe I got 5.25 floppy drives, first one and then another like Vuuxo.

OMG, they don't let you play through the Light and Dark Saga? It legit was one of the (most milked but) best long running stories in gaming; Destiny basically invented the Game-As-A-Service (GAAS) genre. I first bought a PS4 only to play Destiny. If they don't have a way for new players...

I have a bunch of archived emails, looking for where I potentially reset this password; looked through various traunches, got back to where I was in the beta in 2011, where I was recommending the game to friends, where I bought the box from Amazon, various comic book-esque "issues" from Funcom...

Password reset for classic server is 404 :(

OMG I loved this game, even with all the FunCom™ bugginess. One of the few games I played all the way through and made it halfway through a second faction character. I will download this and see to what I have access. I THINK I got a lifetime sub as well. Someone is making a TTRPG version for...

Those were some AMAZING memories of getting my Xbox 360; I wasn't much of a console guy AT ALL. I was way late to the party, in June 2007 I was switching jobs and had a couple of weeks off, it was my birthday, summer just starting. They delivered that big white box, firing up the 360 with XBOX...

Yet we don't have any awesome Soviet Armored Bears in these games? Where is the Bear representation, BIGOTS? By the way, what was previously called ESG: Environment, Social, and Governance investment, is being rebranded to "transition investment", so when they pay gaming companies millions to...

Yeah, Soviets were the most egalitarian in their gender policy, mostly out of necessity and had had the most women participants, with about 8% of their total military of 34m being women. They still had super-low numbers of women in combat roles, this Reddit post goes in depth into (his)...

If they cancel the whole project, guaranteed there are provisions that pay AMD something big for their work and loss of expected income; AMD isn't designing a chip expected to bring in multi-year revenue for a promise. But for MS with like 12% market share at this point and no real plan to win...

This movie was awesome. It's a classic sports movie told through the lens of F1 racing. I mean, we had the talk about liking bad things and that's ok but knowing they are bad; I guess now we need to have that flip side conversation about just because you dislike something doesn't make it...

HDR isn't an issue for me but I use a 43" LG C4 as a my only monitor, and it switches on and off as games implement it.

The whole market push has been for PvP competitive low latency/High FPS experiences; more people are staying on 1440p and going for 240/360 fps; hence the high refresh monitors. I don't like it, as I have been playing on big (43") 4k monitors since 2008?ish (all hail 30fps) and am not going...

Not only is that super well done, I really wish I could have bought into this game at that backer price. It looks AMAZING.
