SMH

Finished Divinity Original Sin 2.

Now trying MW5.

What video card are you using?

Wow, I stand corrected. Then Legends and Lore is is the Elric-less Deities and Demigods.

TSR had permission from author Michael Moorcock to include Elric but I think the publisher was unaware. And so there was a legal stink that resulted in Elric and Lovecraft being removed in a later edition of Deities and Demigods.

Legends and Lore was 2e.

If that Deities and Demigods has Elric and HP Lovecraft in it, it's worth something.

Elric is called Elric (obviously). Look for Hastur the Unspeakable. That's part of Lovecraft. I guess Cthulu was in there, but I don't remember.

That game…had brutal hit boxes. You could blow people’s legs off. I played a lotta pvp but not that mode.

Sounds like a horrible fucking idea.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly the latest and most prominent example, but Elden Ring, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The Witcher 3. The Last of Us Part 1 and 2. No cash shops, substantive DLC, if there is any.

And what do all those games have in common?

They’re solo games.

It’s PvP and MMOs where you can purchase an advantage, show off your bling, or purchase expansions to get a head start on the competition. That is where the microtransaction infestation occurs.

Indeed

This is the rightwing minority pretending that they hold half or more of the country no matter what.

It’s Trumpists who are at about 40%.

The gun lobby, which is about 32%.

The evangelicals are about 30-35%.

Good ol’ fashioned racists are at less than half.

These people all want to represent themselves as majorities but are not.

That might work in civil suits. In criminal court, thumbing your nose at the rules is not going to fly. He will be admonished admonished once.

This is a few months old and talking about NYC instead of DC but still relevant:

Why? Because Trump and his lawyers want to create a media circus around the trial, which would also potentially allow them to influence jurors. They are not under oath in the media and can spin things however they want. This makes clear why we’re not going to be playing that game.

Kbin.social and mastodon.social

Spend most of my time on Mastodon.

Guild Wars 1

Having a character of one main class and a secondary class that could be switched at any time between any of the 9 classes.

8-slot skillbar with one heroic skill that could only come from your main class.

400+ total skills in the game.

Plenty of room for you to make your own homebrew builds, and some classic builds that were outside the box:

The assassin that used a staff (assacaster), the ranger that used necro skills to touch people to death (touch ranger), and the 55 monk, which had almost no hp but so much healing it was hard to kill.

It will always be my MMORPG because of the character design.

Telltale Games Walking Dead. Not a game, but a whole series.

Threads, where you can live in a pretend simulation that your ass isn’t owned by Captain Facebook.

n fact they could have talked transparently about their opex and asked for a simple donation drive every now and then like Wikipedia.

Let’s remember this about Kbin and the Fediverse.

I would donate to help counterbalance the wave of migration that brought me here.
