This dude is a straight up spammer, posting his horseshit videos all over the fediverse.

Bioware made the previous Baldur's Gate games so that makes sense lol

I didn't even have any hype for this game because I don't do anything DnD related and I typically don't like how complicated CRPGs are, but this game has me by the balls and I constantly think about it. I find myself having to avoid some fights even on easy (those god damn phase spiders in the well at the goblin village) but it's so freakin' great either way. I played co-op on Friday with a friend who has been playing DnD for 30 years and he was impressed by my experimentation and creativity which is something I'm usually pretty poor at.

My user name is actually a Metal Gear Solid 2 reference lol

I also would hire anything with a pulse since we can train them on the job, but they can't have a criminal record due to the clients we deal with and some work travel is required. It's also messy work -- fiberglass -- and a lot of people don't want to do that (and I don't blame them lol).

Yeah, probably. We have posts up on indeed and in the local papers but we're getting nothing worth following up on. And I don't think anyone hires recruiters to track down manual laborers.

I've had a job posting up for 3 months in the Midwest USA for a couple of warehouse positions starting at $25 an hour and I'm barely even getting any applicants. We still have a few boomers and GenX in the warehouse but the millennials (like me) and GenZ went to college so they aren't looking for these jobs, at least around here. We're a very small company so the weird thing to me is that this is an easier warehouse than Amazon to work in, by far, and the Amazon hub 10 miles down the road has no problem staffing, even though they only pay $16.00/hr and their benefits sucks ass compared to what we offer. The average warehouse pay in my area for my industry is $18 an hour.

Oh yeah I have no doubt that they will be, I just don't think they should be if we're strictly talking about just being RPGs because they're so different.

Depends what you mean by measure up. Baldur's Gate 3 is my first CRPG that I was able to stick with for more than an hour and I absolutely LOVE it, and that was before even trying co-op, which somehow made it even better. I'm hopelessly obsessed with it, to the point where I had all Sunday to myself while my wife napped off her hangover, and I opted to try to power through the rest of Final Fantasy 16, just hoping I could get to the end, so I can focus purely on BG3 with all of my gaming time. It would be nonsense to compare this game to Starfield (which I'm also very excited for) because they're such vastly different types of RPGs. I think this game sets the generational benchmark for RPG quality, but I don't think it's even going to be the highest selling RPG of the year if that's what benchmark we're using. I think for now and the foreseeable future it's certainly the benchmark for quality especially when it comes to your choices actually mattering.

2 minutes! I've never played one of these games and I'll probably suck ass at it but I want to try all the same.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed, just touch up BF4 and re-release it. Until then, I'm playing Battlebit.

I got a quote yesterday for panels on my roof (in the US). $43,000. Fucking ludicrous

 

Probably a stupid question, but I had one play session last week and admittedly my buddies and I were drunk, but I recall not being able to hit a damn thing when sniping because I was trying to compensate for bullet drop. Looking at same gameplay videos I assume it's hitscan gunplay (no bullet drop) but I wanted to confirm.

 

Thought I'd share this video by my favorite Battlefield youtuber, LevelCap, sharing his thoughts and criticisms about this game. I haven't gotten to play much of it yet so I can't back up anything he says but I hope to get some more hours in soon on the upcoming holiday weekend.

 

The company allegedly refuses RMA on cracked GPUs.
