View from my backyard a bit ago:

I'm honestly really disappointed about this whole thing with Battlefront II. I was actually going to stick it out (preordered for early access, I REALLY love me some clone wars), untill I saw the comment on Monday about the "sense of pride and accomplishment." Game play features shouldn't be something you work toward, especially in a licensed game, where 50% of the draw is to play as certain characters. Their whole thing was a thinly veiled attempt to inflate playtime numbers or get loot boxes. It's exceptionally annoying and sad because they actually did fix almost every problem with BF 2015. The game play was fun, sound design was fantastic, graphics are great, and there is a ton more content. I'm really honestly hoping they got enough of a shock with the fact that support is still overloaded for refund requests to make the proper changes. But I suspect they wont, and I'll have to yar har it for SP and get it on sale in like 6 months. Also, I really think Valve did it right with their first implementation of crates. With the combination of trading, crafting, and unboxing, it was really fair- you could get anything gameplay effecting with minimal effort, and you had a chance at something cool. If you didn't like the cool thing you got, someone else would trade you the cool thing they didn't want for the one that you had. A lot of games have overlooked that part of the equation and only see the loot crates and keys.

Dang, this game has me hooked harder than anything in a long time. Also got my roommate in on it too. Ground my way to Neptune since I picked it back up last weekend. Those Twitch Prime rewards were a good boost TBH. Running Ivara for stealth, Frost for pretty much everything else. Just unlocked my next main quest (Nitah I think) last night, I'm kinda gunning for Octavia, the skills sound way too entertaining to not try. Haven't even toughed POE since i tried it a bit ago.

The Pyroshark returns...

Actually trying to get back into this. Literally last time I played was in beta/release and good lord is there a literal mountain of new things to do. Don't know if it's because i'm starting fresh or not, but it seems like it's a wee bit less farm intensive, or at least there's more options for farming. POE is neat, but not quite what I was expecting. Working my way through the quest lines now.

Hello hello!

*scribbles furiously on to do list*

Why is this so good

Been playing Lawbreakers free weekend, it's actually really fun! But I'm torn between buying it on sale and seeing if it goes F2P any time soon.

Been a while since I jumped to intel, but I havent benchmarked this rig yet:

Event in question has passed, 3 year old thread.

Takeaway for me so far: Battlefront II actually looks good, might pick it up near release. New Wolfenstein looks incredibly fun, can't wait. I should play Old Blood before then. Bethesda's VR things look good, interested to see how they run. Not a huge fan of the price tags though. Dishonored expansion looks sale-worthy. Concerned they'll go more combat oriented this time. HZD DLC/Expansion sounds fantastic. Just have to beat the main one first. And we got a new Crash trailer. 5/10. I found things to be excited about, but nothing really jumped at me.

AKA the "fix your shit binary" thread.   I'm gonna have a decent bit of free time on my hands over winter break, and I intend to use that to fix all these little issues with the site and whatnot.    Starting with themes and webms.    To-Do: -Dank memes (webms) -Count beans (holla holla)   To-DONE, SON: -Slick themes (ker blam) TO DONE, SON! So, first off: Themes. Apparently dark themes are shit. I wouldn't know, because lightspuf. But, I have had sucess with themes, and am now comfortable with IPB. First off, gonna make a de-spooked variant of spook-powered to replace the current one. Gonna fix bluebough. Maybe make some more variants from spokpowered. maybe even some new light themes too. (I've had 4 cups of coffee because of an 8 am final and I'm feeling really productive. your results may vary.)   Webms: I will attempt every option within my power to get these working correctly. They work fine for mods, so idunno. We'll get there. Eventually. Maybe.   IPB: Gonna see about getting the board updated to the latest version in hopes of saving myself some work and maybe get some features back.   Let me know if you have any input of the above, or if there's anything else you want looked at.   

Should be there now. Both most recently started threads and most recently posted threads.

Booooo.

Welcome!

That looked really interesting to me. I haven't played any other souls game, but I love the theme and aesthetic.

 

No we get paid in livers.

I'm upset that you're upset.

Kill me now. I swear the medic kills will be faster.

I still play maybe monthly, keep up with my outfit, etc. I'm really just working toward medic arax. Haven't had much new added in quite a while, the art guys are busy.

Whole play area is roughly 8'x8', the pad is 6'x6'. It's not exactly roomy, and I've hit the wall a few times, but it certainly has enough room in general.
