I like that apparently we did this before we knew how it worked.

It’s funny that this 2 minute comedy skit still managed to find a better name then X for twitter.

Hoestly, if you don’t know the game stories, it will be a confusing mess. They take very little time on the movie to explain what is happening and why.

The Warcraft movie wasn’t even bad, they just didn’t go hard enough. It was impossible to cram that whole story into one movie. They shoulda done a Hobbit with it.

BAR is really good and also free to play. If you want a sweaty RTS to play, here it is!
- Comment on Baldurs Gate 3 devs tease future non-D&D games, say morale is “super high”: “we're doing our own thing again" 3 months ago:
Good for them. Larian does not need D&D at this point. All the people who liked BG3 aren’t going to shun a new Larian game just because it doesn’t use a D&D setting. Quite the opposite, in fact. Them hyping up their own stuff can only help them keep people interested.
Meanwhile, Wizards can’t generate hype o matter what they do, because they are scared into stasis from the knowledge that they are out of ideas. Heck, a lot of the changes Larian made to the ruleset are things that the people at WotC should have made many years ago. It is very telling that those same people can’t help mentioning the game when they are trying to hype up their new version of 5E. A version that is scared to change anything except tiny details via a focus tested surveys and looks basically identical to the game they delivered ten years ago.

I highly doubt the medical data to do these are available to a hobbyist, or that someone like that would have the know-how to train the AI.
But yea, rare non-bad use of AI. Now we just need to eat the rich to make it a good for humanity. Let’s get to that I say!

Wow, what a conundrum. Really difficult to implement multi-track drifting with this setup.

Sure, agreed . Too bad 99% of it’s use is still stealing from society to make a few billionaires richer.

No link or anything, very believable.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 may get 6v6 again as Blizzard try to bring back the "chaotic, over-the-top" variety of the first game 3 months ago:
In other news, “Overwatch 2” decides to rebrand as “Overwatch” for increased clarity. They really just released it again to be able to change the monetization.
- Comment on Zombie survival game 7 Days To Die version 1.0 is out now after 11 years in early access 3 months ago:
And yet the netcode still sucks balls, to the point where the game becomes unplayable with 3+ people unless you put the time in to make a dedicated server for it.
There were also some very baffling decisions made for 1.0, like how there is now armor with a skill point chance on level up, apparently. Not sure how that one works in practice, but it doesn’t sound like a well thought-out update.

One time too many. This is the exact same garbage as Sony tried to pull with Helldivers 2.

I was playing a lot of Songs of Syx, which I highly recommend if you enjoy very intricate city building and management games.
Since that is more or less done though, I am now getting into Monster Hunter World for the first time.

I would like you to know that if you say this, or other things you said in this thread to my face, I would punch the smug out of you.
Remember this post in a few years when your billion dollar theft machines have shut down for being huge wastes of money and effort and the few survivors, if any, have been sectioned off into expensive subscription models that you are priced out of because they need to make the literal billions of dollars it costs to make and run them back at some point.
This is the same-ass bubble as NFTs and crypto and it will also die.

Exactly brother. We don’t want no stinky Babylon 5 knockoff in our Star Trek!

That’s what we were all clamoring for: a different Star Trek. Heavens know that has never been tried before!
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 7 months ago:
Fuck these people, they did every single thing wrong with their product and the only people who do good things with it are independent content creators. Critical role made D&D the thing to play in the internet age and Larian made a great game with it. Meanwhile D&D under Hasbro has done…what? Fucking nothing is what. They give you shitty books with 95% fluff you don’t need and/or makes no sense, but it has a new subclass for each class in it. Are the classes good? No! No they are not. But while you buy those books anyway please take a look at our 100$ deck of cards that we pretend is gonna make you able to create great adventures on the fly. Nevermind that the whole mechanic of it could fit into a few pages of text as die roll tables.
They can’t even publish all the 50 year anniversary D&D books in their 50th anniversary! They also said those books are a combined 1000 pages as if it’s a value add or impressive, when the current 3 books also have that page count. They basically want you to re-buy your books for 50 bonus pages and the only value add you get will be some fucking focus-tested subclasses. Will they be good? WHO CARES! Even if they are good, the classes will get put on the internet within a day and you don’t need the rest of the books at all!
Don’t buy any D&D products. Don’t give money to these people. Let their company die.
Also, play better games. Fabula Ultima, Lancer, Sentinel Comics TTRPG, there are innumerable games that do any genre you could ever want better then D&D does fantasy.
