I survived another shopping trip! I feel like there aren't as many shops playing Christmas music this year.

I have mixed feelings about this announcement. Dragon Age is one of my favorite fantasy franchises, so all respect to Ohlen for his work there ... however, based on the deeply flawed Odyssey of the Dragonlords, I am of the opinion that Ohlen's CRPG writing skills don't translate that well to...

It's not about copyright. It's about cultural appropriation. These taonga (treasures) have lots of meaning and history for the descendants of the people who created them. To be inspired by them and create original works in the game would be one thing, but to literally copy real existing taonga...

I’ve not played either Path of Exile game, but this is disappointing news coming from NZ’s only (?) internationally successful gaming company: how cultural erasure occurs: why nz game removing maori carvings They really should have known better.

I'm still in the running, but I've got a work Christmas lunch later and then I have to take one of my daughters to do more Christmas shopping, so ... fingers crossed

Fingers crossed I have found a fix for my DA: Veilguard stuttering issue! When I explained to Google's AI Mode that my BIOS seems too rudimentary to undervolt/underclock my CPU by specific values*, it suggested I go into Windows power management and set the CPU's minimum usage to 80% and the max...

Me neither! I'm rather surprised. I've been to the mall numerous times this month. I heard a cover on my previous visit to the physio, but this morning they weren't even playing Christmas music.

None. I haven't played a 2024 character yet. I've become a forever DM now, and my current campaign is a hybrid. Don't know if/when I'll get to play again. At the moment, I'm not really that interested. Happier DMing than playing.

Yeah, I imagine my affection for it is mostly nostalgia-based. I expect if I played it again now, I'd end up hating it for being old and dated and clunky. (I always went with magic so never realized that the tech side wasn't as good.) I used the opening scenario for a one-shot D&D session back...

Arcanum was a fave of mine back in the day. I do remember getting frustrated with item breakage and all the random encounters on long journeys. I used a cheat tool to stop the former and gave all my characters Teleport to avoid the latter!

I remember the name but I can’t remember what the games were like.

A terror attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia has resulted in the deaths of at least 16 people attending a Hanukkah celebration.

Episode 1 is on Dec 17. But it looks like they're releasing Season 2 weekly. IIRC Season 1 was all at once.

That's what I thought, but there's something going on that's making the game not work right for me. The only other game I've experienced stuttering with on this PC was AC: Odyssey, and the stuttering only started happening long after I'd beaten the game and was just pottering around doing...

OK so 60-90 days over 5 years ago. You really want to be that pedantic? It's not running smooth as silk for me! 😭 I'm still loving it, despite all the stuttering (and having to spend $200+ on a new CPU cooling system, which didn't fix the stuttering ...). I personally don't regard each DA...

I wasn't actually.

I survived my recent trip to the mall! Didn’t even hear a cover version!

I saw something in FB about a new Star Wars racing game. (Not podracing.)

Rime came out in 2020, so it can’t have been more than 5 years ago.
