And the poor boyfriend dindu nuffin, as is tradition.

Guild Wars 2 had some novel ideas but it didn't hold long term interest for me.

Even based sites are led by rabid ideologues. Isn't clown world great?

Hot take: no Bethesda game was ever good.

Only in the beginning, it went global quite quickly.

For what it's worth, it's quite true to the books so far. I don't remember the races and genders of original characters but key concepts and events have been covered well.

Question for men: if you're looking for a mother for your children, are trimmed, thickened or painted on eyebrows a red flag? If a woman can't face and deal with the stresses of reality without looking like a clownish hivemind NPC, is she marriage material?

Stress causes those. Being an evil puppet isn't easy and it shows in the face.

Baldur's Gate 3 is good but if you're into sci-fi I'd recommend Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader instead.

It's nice how they put the left end of the spectrum on the right for easier understanding.

I think he knew.

These couples usually deserve each other.

You can see the regret in her eyes. Oh well, standard fare for women left to their own devices.

The depiction of polar night was unrealistic as usual.

They showed the last sunset at ~68.5°N on December 17 with the sun dropping down vertically, quickly followed by darkness. That only happens in the tropics. In the Arctic, the sun rises and sets at shallow angles with long twilight before and after.

Also, at 68.5°N polar night begins in early December. There was a comment in the show about it only being the first week of darkness and things already going crazy. Well if the polar night started on December 17 it would last for about ten days so the first week of 1.5 isn't saying much.

Around noon there's also civil twilight for about five hours at that latitude which means that it's light out but the sun is not visible, it's just below the horizon. The show went for pitch black darkness 24/7, that only happens close to the poles at latitudes ~80° and up. It may fool people in the lower 48 but Alaskans are having a laugh.

I guess they haven't checked the second floor of Goldshire Inn yet.

Agreed. There are memes about games like Path of Exile that you need a PhD or an hour long guide to make a viable character. Even Diablo 4 with all its faults is superior to me because I can create a character I feel like playing and not be useless halfway through.

Wasteland 3 was good in that regard. Just enough punchy dialogue to move the story forward and back to blowing stuff up with rocket launchers.

I actually thought it was decent, better than what's passing for Star Wars nowadays in any case.

Comedy is becoming reality at ever greater speed.

Days. I read a paper that the average power plant will keep running for 23 hours without human input and more than 99% of the workers are men. As we've seen from survival shows, they'd just sit down and die.

I'll take the entire knowledge of mankind at my fingertips over direct contact with clown world NPCs every time.

Ah yes, good old "national security". Was "our democracy" getting stale so they switched it back?

I won't bother talking to programmed NPCs like this, it just leads to hard feelings.

Hard feelings may just be the psychological pressure they need to snap out of it, pain is an excellent teacher. I've demoted many of my closest friends to distant acquaintances over the past three years when it became apparent they were bootlicking commies. Some quietly, some openly. Making it easy for them is not my responsibility, they deserve to suffer and learn the hard way.

Gives a whole new meaning to Wakanda Forever.
