Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Yikes. I didn’t realise how bad that stuff was, glad I haven’t touched it since I was a kid.

Aw maaan. I saw some of these and managed to overlook them separately, but taken together it’s not looking great. That sucks, I liked GOG.

Say what now?

No, it’s just hilarious that I happen to be building a top of the line machine at a time like this, and the game I’m most excited to play next looks like it’d run on a Gameboy.

Will suggest Star of Providence or Kill the Crows, and not responding when you don’t like someone’s comment. People are just tiresome at times, you can’t harsh it out of em.

Can’t believe how good this game looks. Can’t wait to finish building my new PC so I can get into this.

Yeah. I actually started building a PC just this week? The timing is horrid, but I felt like, is it actually going to get better? When does that happen in my life?

Anyway. The RAM I ended up with cost a significant fraction of the GPU. It’s all ballsed up. At least it isn’t covered in stupid LEDs. I bought the cheapest 32gb DDR5 I could find and still spent like £400. All I can say is that Outlook had better run so good that I don’t wonder what £400 of cocaine would have been like instead.

Honestly I might go for that Costco deal just for the RAM.

Oh we’re the target, just not the customer.

I hope you’re right. It’s time for private equity to take a massive beating.

Wait, Yacht Club made a new game? And it’s a dense, challenging dungeon crawler? Shit, that’s all you had to say!

Thanks for clarifying, got it. Yeah BG3 isn’t branched, at all. That kind of game script is a lot rarer, for obvious reasons. It’s a shame, those kinds of choices always end up feeling more substantial than whose company you keep, how you kill people, or who you have sex with.

bg3.wiki/wiki/Endings is a pretty long page. Witcher 2 has, what is it 16 endings? There’s at least that many here, but I’ll grant that not a lot of the possible endings feel meaningfully unique, just stylistic preferences. That might be the real shortcoming, the fact that when your enemy is “absolute mind control monster”, there are only so many ways to win that are meaningfully different.

It’s one of the pitfalls of a novelistic game with multiple branching paths; a story where Raphael is the main villain might easily work out to be the best possible story, but it’s more about what you think is the best story.

I’ve beaten BG3 three times and I go after him every time. It’s not about the loot, the XP, or even the theme song. It’s because the brain was just a problem that needs solving, but I had a score to settle with Raphael.

For me the main boss of BG3 was Raphael. He’s the one who established an ongoing personal antagonism throughout the game, and the fight with him was unforgettably dramatic. Everything after him was a protracted denouement.

Every corporation for some reason: Nah you gotta

This is a small community that I care about. How people treat each other is everyone’s business.

Him or A$ap Rocky yeah

Doesn’t this feel like the kind of absurdly bombastic thing you’d see in a hella good rap video though? Dude marching at the grill while spitting mad science. I need that in my life asap

I tried, seems like you prefer to be angry.
