    What game are you currently playing?

    I'm really trying to break free of playing the same games over and over again. Granted, I enjoy them, but I want to have new experiences. I basically have finished another Subnautica run and am resisting the urge to do another again with a different approach (no large or multi-purpose rooms). I...

    Who would have thought that computer repair is so hard?

    I just poked around the Lenovo website a little more, found a service center locator, and it said that my laptop (based on S/N) could not be serviced.

    What game are you currently playing?

    I decided to take another trip through Subnautica. Despite the terror it caused me in my blind play through that I logged here, it's actually quite relaxing on a second play since I knew the score. It's one of the games that I can play easy enough with a busted keyboard. One interesting thing...

    Who would have thought that computer repair is so hard?

    So, here's the situation. I game on a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 5) that I bought just months before COVID. This laptop probably got me through COVID relatively sane. I mean, I had/have the wife and kids, but let's be honest, the impact of family on sanity can be a little mixed (and I'm being...

    I totally agree with that. You can see the same thing in tabletop gaming. A bunch of the established YTers (especially ones punting their own heartbreakers), as well as many gamers themselves are just up in arms about Hasbro and what they are doing with D&D. But at the same time, they are still...

    I kinda like that the consumers are fighting back. Not to get all sociopolitical, and I'm not saying I'm anti-capitalist, but the nature of the model discourages conscientious (or even conscious) consumption. When I see consumers cultivating mindfulness and finding their voice, it gives me hope. 😁

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    I believe they did a VR game in the Half-Life franchise that did well. This job simulator kind of thing seems like a step back. And, I'm saying this as someone who's current favorite TTPRG is one where you often have to deal with having a mortgage.

    Industry News / Upcoming Games

    Why, in the fifty shades of fucks, would anyone want to play a game where they immerse themselves in the lives of an Uber driver? No offense to the drivers, but I don't think anyone is in that line of work for any kind of personal fulfillment. I'm starting to think that AI isn't just making the...

    What do you make of this? (computer parts)

    They definitely don't have only one left. Before I ordered it, it stated that you could only order one at a time. However, I didn't need the high pressure sale. The fact that the next cheapest price I found was around $30 for a knock off part, I'd gladly pay $17 for even the chance of a...

    What do you make of this? (computer parts)

    So, the main issue I'm having with my gaming laptop is that the keyboard is falling apart on me. In its defense, the thing is 6 years old and has been a solid performer otherwise. Especially with the cost of RAM and the great shape it still is in, repair is the obvious answer. I've been...

    What game are you currently playing?

    Currently playing UnderRail. I honestly can't believe this game has stayed off of my radar for so long. It's heavily inspired by Fallout (at least in terms of gameplay), but there's also a strong Metro 2033 influence. I'm probably going to have to take a break from it though because a) my laptop...

    Looking for a game suggestion (open ended)

    I heard Sonora was the best of them. Resurrection is its own story, though.

    Looking for a game suggestion (open ended)

    I've played Nevada and liked it. I've heard of Sonora and that it only recently got an english translation, so I might grab that soon. I haven't heard of Olympus. There's also one other, I think it's called Resurrection.

    Baldur's Game characters that can't be created in-game

    I believe it. With mods, anything is possible.

    Baldur's Game characters that can't be created in-game

    In second edition and this setting, it just wasn't a thing. Demi-humans weren't even allowed in the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart (think Mazzy), even if they were clerics of Helm, Tyr, or Illmater. AD&D 2e was in a kinda weird space between traditional D&D (where demihumans were ultra...

    Are all mole people blind or is it just me? Blind play through of UnderRail!

    I have been having a hard time finding gaming challenges to challenge me, but then GoG delivered a possibility in a summer sale. I had heard about this game some time back. I'm surprised it's already 10 years old. Did I really sleep on this one for so long? This is next level patient gaming...

    If you could sit down with James Ohlen to discuss his work on the original Baldur's Gate games, what would you want to ask him?

    Oh, I thought this was just a hypothetical. That's cool. If you can find a way to diplomatically ask my questions, I would be really curious about the process there. 😁

    [Finished] Icewind Dale no magic items challenge run

    I'm not sure even that would get you there. I don't think spiritual hammer gets the proficiency bonuses. So, you're doing 1d4+3 at maybe 3ish apr(assuming haste helps with that) against someone with absurdly low AC and 2hp/round regen. I think you get another +4 damage out of Emotion...
