I thought so too after that first trailer, looked really rough. The combat looked absolutely terrible.

They released another trailer awhile ago that seemed drastically improved so I’m moderately interested in the game. I’m not on the edge of my seat and preordering or anything, but I’ll look into it when it releases.

Yeah, I always viewed it as more of a city builder except on Mars. More akin to Cities Skylines than Rimworld. I haven’t played it to be clear, but that’s why- I liked Rimworld, but do not particularly enjoy city builders.

This footage was most likely produced with cartridges that have just enough gun powder to cycle the gun’s action.

Frankly, it’s probably not even that much. They probably used a bolt action and really light powder loads. I’d say maybe it’s a .22 but the dents look big for that.

Edit: Someone else posted this a JerryRigEverything video- it apparently stops .22 and 9mm. I’m pretty surprised.

This man is crowdsourcing a psy op.

Two major kinds of DnD puzzles:

The sort of thing in the image. Dummy simple, party still somehow gets it entirely wrong because the DM offhandedly mentioned a goose 30 minutes ago which was definitely a hint.

An insanely complex puzzle that the players are realistically not going to be able to solve, so the DM is just going to let them try shit for a half hour until he finally says, “yeah that works.”

And then there’s a mythical third kind where it’s actually a good puzzle. idk I don’t think they’re real.

Parry and riposte mechanics make me happy. Idk why exactly, but something about timing a parry and making the enemy entirely helpless for the followup is just great.

Yeah sounds about right.

Meh, I could see it if Microsoft is willing to basically just give Obsidian the IP for a game. Bethesda realistically wouldn’t really have a say in that I don’t think.

This is the first I’ve heard of this- did Veilguard do badly? I thought it was reasonably popular.

… fuck that’s actually convincing.

lmao yeah I had to get used to it myself.

The ‘the french are cowards that suck at war’ stereotype is kinda tired by now.

We’re apparently getting Skyblivion this year, too. That sounds like it’ll be fun.

It’s the kind of thing you just learn over time as you play. It can be pretty brutal early on tho.

It could be worse- first MOBA I really got into was Smite and there’s ~130 characters in that game.

Why not do both? Keep GTA VI Online’s price low, and the main campaign at like $80.

It’s exactly what they did with Red Dead Redemption 2. RDR2 is $60, Red Dead Online is $20.

Endgame is basically non-existent, it’s literally just grinding the same exact bosses infinitely to fill out collection log or get a specific pet. That’s the entire end game.

A lot of people absolutely love collection logging and pet hunting.

It ain’t for me either, to be clear, but what exactly do you want out of OSRS end game? I can’t really come up with what I’d actually want it to look like.

Yeah. At least OSRS, I’m not as certain about RS3.

Google RSPS- Runescape Private Servers.

I have no idea how much effort it would be, but it’s clearly possible.

I’ve sort of generally moved over to coop games in general nowadays.

Or even if I’m playing something that’s a versus sort of multiplayer- like Civ- I just try not to focus too much on winning. I’m there for the journey, not the destination. If I end up winning, cool. If I don’t, that’s also cool as long as I had fun along the way.

I will now be that guy:
