    Random Video Game Crap

    Wasn't there something similar in Snake Eater where literally the only way to get past it was to have them kill you and then leave the game on the Game Over screen for x minutes and you'd actually get back up and be able to complete the fight. Or am I remembering the same part you guys are...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I fucking hate that the loss of Blockbuster also meant there is no place to rent video games anymore. We had a few independent places that hung on for a while but they too went up shortly after. I tried a few of the online mail rentals and they sucked. Redbox was around up here for a bit but...

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    We moved offices in August and our CEO visited in Sept. During covid I moved to fully remote and they asked me to come in for his visit to fill some seats etc. While I wasn't opposed, I did point out it would cost them upwards of 2k for me to come in with ferries and hotels during that time and...

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    Also while talking with my boss while we were in Miami me and another coworker were told to stand up for ourselves more(that's fair, we both just let everyone walk all over us) so when it came through I figured why not and asked to make it 100k even. Said we'd discuss Q1 which isn't a no but I...

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    I was off last week after 2 weeks of traveling to Miami for work. They have us float our expenses for these by paying for them first and then reimbursing us once submitted. blah blah blah you all know how expenses work. I've been struggling when we do these because of having to cover this until...

    Marvel Snap - Ben Brode's new game

    The changes they made to the spotlight caches don't help. If you miss the specific period that card was released you're looking at potentially months before they show up again with the only other way of obtaining them the once a day token store refresh. But that's compounded by them slowing...

    Marvel Snap - Ben Brode's new game

    Currently, Professor X followed by Alioth is testing my patience. Control decks are for boring, scared people.

    TW: Badly injured dog, not death. Sunday night the younger of our two pups developed a bad cough that would come in fits. By the middle of the night she was shaking and it looked like maybe having trouble breathing so we rushed her to the emergency vet who did a few tests and figured a nasal...

    What are you playing?

    My problem with the game's combat isn't the gunplay, though sometimes bullets feel like pea shooters inexplicably, so much as it is the AI. Like to the point that I think there might be some behaviour issues with it.

    Edit: I was so tickled by the Titanic reference I didn't even catch the Pee Wee and Lord of the Rings ones. Not sure what the music player might be referencing.

    I don't think anyone is amazed with the space stuff. Most people seem to be actively upset about how it's handled in that you can't manually fly from atmo down to the planet or between celestial bodies. Other than that it's just used as a way to dogfight in orbit and dock at space stations. Or...

    I've had this happen and now seeing it's common I worry it's not a bug so much as a limitation of the way "extra" content is generated. With so many celestial bodies and being able to land anywhere on basically all of them, if it's just pulling bases, caves, settlements and what not from an...

    I guess you get more ship modules as the game progresses, currently, it feels very rough to make anything that looks even sort of ok with the limited ones I have access to.to but this is what I've hobbled together and slapped on enough cargo holds to be usable. The AI is terrible but the...

    Mine broke when I went into Act 3 pre-patch anyway and everything that was in it turned into it's in chest mundane item. Didn't notice until I was too far and didn't have anything that mattered to lose but still.

    Distance isn't the only issue, though I understand in regards to a traversal method that might be the goal, there is more to consider. Jumping burns bonus actions every turn at minimum to get that distance and maybe an action once per encounter as well to cast it as a spell if that's needed...
