PC gamers are finally embracing the controller, as usage triples [increase to 15% from 5% over the last six years]
  • BG3 is completely playable with a controller though. Yes, kbm is better here, but I've played 2 entire campaigns on my deck and it was fine. The radials can be kind of annoying but you can customize them so it's not so bad. You can tell Larian put a lot of work into making a good controller experience, while Solasta: Crown of the Magister (for example) promised controller support but it plays like ass with one.

  • Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?
  • Yeah I was surprised they were so cheap. That's not $2 each, that's $2 total lol. They were like 1.25 each or something. I've played TW2 and 3 and I really liked both of them, but I've heard TW1 feels really dated at this point; though really I'm just playing it to round out the series.

    Not patient gaming related but I have started GoT. Its amazingly well optimized on my Steam Deck. I'm kind of blown away on how well it runs, though I've only been playing for two hours. Sometimes the game can fall apart at the end optimization wise, like Baldurs Gate 3.

    For a long time I only played World of Warcraft, (I'm clean now) so I don't have a lot of experience with Sony. I think the last Sony games I played were the OG COD:MW2 and some of the first Ratchet and Clank games, but I've seen they get a lot of hate. Why is that? I did play the 2018 God of War last year and its one of my favorites.

  • AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • The supreme court Supreme Court Justices disagree with you, but OK I'll bite.

    Why can't a president kill an american citizen on american soil? Because it's illegal? Do you understand that that that no longer applies to the president?

  • AOC wants to impeach SCOTUS justices following Trump immunity ruling
  • There's some hyperbole in these threads for sure, but not a lot. The president can't handwave away the bill of rights, because nothing in the constitution gives them that power.

    However, the president does have the authority as commander in chief of authorizing lethal force against individuals. If Biden authorized Seal Team 6 to execute Trump, that is in fact an official act that he has the authority to perform. Sure maybe it is technically not legal, but that doesn't matter since the president has complete immunity from criminal law. The house could still draft articles of impeachment but the senate would be unable to remove the president because the president is immune to criminal proceedings.

    And if Trump wants to create an organization to round up and execute all the gays (and the Jews, of course), he has the power to do that; and with today's ruling, he will never face consequences for doing so.

    Irreparable damage has been done to American democracy today.

  • Should Democrats stay the course or replace Biden? | Robert Reich
  • THE DERP STATE PUT CHEMICALS IN THE WATER AND MADE TRUMP HAVE A STROKE ITS EVEN WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT IF THEY CAN GET TO HIM THEY CAN GET TO YOU NO OME IS SAFE YOUR FAMILY IS IN IMMEDIATE HARM JUST LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THE SMARTEREST MAN ALIVE NO OME IS SAFE UOU ARE IN DAMGER VOTE FOR TRUMP TO FINALLY STOP THE DERP STATE ONLY BY VOTING FOR DUMP CAN WE FINALLY SaVE AmERicA FROM THE CLUTCHES OF TYRRANY AT THE HANDS OF THE VILE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY.

    These people live in their own delusional fantasy land and literally nothing will change their minds. My own father thinks Trump had a stunning performance at the debate and is literally enraged at me and everyone around him for not voting for dump. Donald trump is the sole source of truth for him. I'm pretty sure ol Donnie could say the sky is purple and the moon is fake and my dad would believe him.

  • Also applies to projects and hobbies
  • Sure, some people do this sometimes. But I have a huge list of things I've started, gotten super into, spent statistically significant money on, and then never used or looked at ever again.

  • New Player - what classes do you like to make everyone? [no spoilers]
  • I'm in the middle of an "Oops All Clerics" playthrough. Highly recommend. I have Light, Life, Tempest, and War. War is probably the weakest of the bunch but she's good for holding concentration buffs. Throw on bless and Phalar Aluve Sing and you'll never lose concentration on anything.

    All of my ability checks get guidance and advantage.

    This party is stupidly OP. The shadow cursed lands were a cakewalk, and I steamrolled Cazador without really trying. Hasted Tempest cleric pumps out obscene amounts of damage.

    Light has access to fireball, wall of fire, and their Chanel divinity is a nuclear bomb with a huge range.

    Life can almost bring a completely dead party back to full health.

    And the Chanel divinities restore after a short rest, so I can deal with three moderate fights and maybe even a boss before I need a long rest.

    I think Cleric might be my favorite class.

  • What is your BG3 unpopular opinion?
  • But they already crossed that line. There's tons of shit from 5E that aren't in BG3 and lots of mechanics work differently. You don't need a rope to climb, you don't need to find and secure and area to rest, there are no hit die. Shit, Cleric is missing like 7 entire domains.

    So what if they exclude a couple impossible to balance spells?

  • What is your BG3 unpopular opinion?
  • The flaming fist can see you steal things from like six buildings away.

    When I fought Gortash the first time (I didn't do the foundry) his steel watchers kept kicking my ass. "Ah ha!" I thought, "I'll close the door and cast Arcane Lock on it to keep them out and trivialize this fight!". The watchers teleported next to gortash as soon as the fighting began and wiped the floor with me.

    During the Ketheric fight, Ketheric decided he... Just had enough? I guess? He went to stand in the center of the platform and fucked off for five entire rounds while I killed everyone else and started phase 3.

    Inventory management is impossible with a controller.

    I play on a Steam Deck and while the game runs amazingly in Acts 1 and 2, the instant you set foot in Rivington you're lucky if you can get 20 fps. And I hear its the same on a PC?

    Speaking of Act 3, the entire act is awful. Acts 1 and 2 were incredible and then the whole thing just falls apart. The pacing is all wrong, and you pretty much forget the absolute entirely. Someone else said they stopped playing after moonrise and ended their game, and honestly I like that idea more every day.

    Felogyrs Fireworks. That's all I need to say.

    You need to loot literally everything or you'll miss critical items, and the loot overwhelmingly sucks ass. Oh boy! Another rotten tampon I can sell for 1g!

    Potion tooltips are less than useless, especially on the crafting screen (oh man don't get me started there). What does this potion do? No idea! But at least you know it tastes like Troll cum!

    I really do love this game, but a lot of parts of the game are just steaming piles of shit. I also don't believe it deserved all the awards it got, and it's kind of amazing it did.
