I've slept on this whole series. Not sure if/when I'll dive in. But reading this thread isn't doing a lot to sell me on it

I won't lie, the Gladiator with a bed cap looks like a cool super-Jeep and just purely from an aesthetic POV I kinda like it.
Just saw a 2021 Gladiator in army khaki/green in a kind of matte powder coat finish and it looks post-apocalypse ready.

Strike is over, my book sales leapt up, and I lost 3 pounds, so I’m back in the game!
Riding the bipolarcoaster to the top again!

Finally finished it after 103 hours. What a marathon. Think I'll need a breather before playing it again but I'm definitely going to do another playthrough

One of the coolest changes is armour stats will now be through body augs and clothing will have no stats so it's litterally just fashion. Can roll in a mankini and cowboy hat now and still have good armour stats

That's fair. Though I'll never understand what people care about those achievement popups for.

So I got my Jeep. The one nice thing about it taking nearly six months to come is I got the discounted pricing as the new 2024 model just hit. I actually paid 10% less the agreed upon price we had in April.
I had the most first world problem ever. Here in the summer when it is relatively hot (like mid-80s), it still gets in the 40s at night. I don't mind it, but the boys complained about the cold driving to school/work in the morning. Even though the hard top panels are easy to take off, it is still a hassle so I bought this easy flip top that I can open and close in seconds.
Sick ride bruv. Gonna be hard not to feel like a badass every day driving round in that thing.

Patch 2.0 is out, or coming out very soon and apparently fundamentally changes nearly all of the games systems to make it a true RPG as well as adding in dynamic police system, car chases and car combat plus a load of other things.
If one was thinking about playing again or for the first time it's in the best state it's ever been in apparently.

If your on PC get SFSE and STARUI from nexusmods

Yeah there is about 5-10 more hours of Act 1 game time once you find the goblin camp. Depending on how you tackle things.
Also, the ogre guarding the door to the interior of the main camp has some of my favourite dialogue. Reminds me of a toddler

To be fair since AI is coming for all our brain and creative jobs learning a physical trade is probs better for the future.

Not like, suicide done, but like… done trying? I’m tired. I’m almost 50. I have no savings or assets, some years I make six figures, some years I make nothing. My kid had moved out. My health is meh.
I just want to eat snacks and watch movies and not work.
Sounds likes you got a mean case of the burnouts. You should go on vacation and consume art instead of constantly creating it.
So yeah eat snacks and watch movies. Just make the snacks healthy tasty ones too. Connect with nature and shit. Walk barefoot in a forest. Hug some redwoods. Get out of LA for a bit. Youll find your mojo again. Grind culture is toxic.
Also I'm pretty sure mercury is in the Gatorade or something

Do it

I'm waiting on the mod community to fix a bunch of stuff and and some things and maybe a price drop before I commit.
Still chugging through BG3 at the moment and I'm going to need to put distance between that and starfield before I play it. Because compared to BG3 it's not going to stack up for me. But since SFSE has been released the modding scene will go into overdrive in the coming months

It was released on PS5 yesterday, but they are only doing download only sadly. If people got the deluxe version, they could start playing from last Saturday.
Even if you had a disk youd still need to download a massive chunk of the content. It's 120GB minimum storage
-
Also I have only just started the third act after 80 or so hours of play. Absolutely love this game.

It hasnt been released on console yet, it's coming

THE MURDEROUS HANDS OF DISNEY
my all time favorite nightly quote
lol. Dude for sure had Slave Leia bedsheets

Who knew that selling off a beloved franchise to a massive corporation whose success is based around merchandising and constant iterations of product, would result in the accurate replication of surface level aesthetics and feel, but strip all soul and magic of said franchise? That's never happened before, surely.
Zerimar. He knew, and he was right.

I walked in on an Ogre and a Troll-like creature banging in a barn. Had to roll a charisma check to talk my way out of it and not get torn limb from limb

It's the shirt off for me. You're not at the beach, put a f ing shirt on ya douche

I mean, you can smash for sure, and the companions are all up for it, but it's not like the game starts and your boning. There are a bunch of reviews with people saying "I'm no prude....BUT" which to me is confirmation that the reviewer is in fact a prude. The sex is no more front and center than Game of Thrones, and so far in my 25 hours or so it's far less explicit than GoT. Even though you can choose what your penis or vulva looks like. To bush or not to bush.

No hyperbole. 20 hours in, quite possibly the best game I've ever played. Ever.
It's better than Skyrim. Better than GTAV. Better than Mass Effect. But it brings the best elements of all those games with the chess like tactical combat of XCOM. It fucking rules. It's got the cinematic story telling of mass effect, the lore and replay ability of Skyrim, and the writing chops and humour of GTA or RDR2. It's got the world building of Witcher 3 and cyberpunk.
It's so good when I'm not playing it I almost think my real life is a waste of time when I could be playing BG3.
It's like an old bioware RPG like Kotor or Dragon Age but on modern AAA budget, twenty times the size, where EVERY character (and there are thousands of them) including goblins, bears and dogs have their own unique voiced cinematic dialogue cut scenes, no matter how small the interaction. It's actually incredible.
Believe the hype. Every glowing review you've read is true.
Masterpiece. I hope you are all playing it, and if you're not you should. It's a landmark in gaming history.
Five stars.

Fuck don't get me started on road cyclists.
So I live in small town rural England. With narrow windy 2 lane and single lane unmarked roads the norm. Traffic is usually pretty heavy considering how populated our town is, and there is always some god damned lycra clad fuckwit 40+ year old men in pelatons or solo riding in the middle of the fucking road.
I get it. You're a road user too, and you have every right to ride your bike. But at least put some fucking effort into it and grind up those hills, or move to the side of the road. I don't wanna run you over, but damnit I gotta get my kid to/from kindi or I'll get fined 15 quid for being late.
That said, I love riding bikes. Cycling enthusiasts can go do one though.
Ahsoka series - Sabine Wren has been cast!
in Star Wars

I done binged it up to episode 7.
Really actually rather enjoyed this. I agree with Tank in so far as I find the Witches of Dathomir to be far more enigmatic and a scary prospect as antagonists than Thrawn. I think they'd have been strong enough as the primary threat themselves for this series to work. Though I quite like Thrawn, admittedly he kind of is just a diet-pepsi emperor "it is all going as I have forseen" yada yada.
As a series in the new Disney canon though I'm way more into this than BOBF, or the latest Mando season. Hell I'm enjoying it more than Andor even though I know Andor is objectively the better production.
It's the first series other than Mando where I have cared about any of the characters, and has had the best character development that I can remember.
Also as someone who never watched clone wars or rebels (cause I can't bring myself to watch cartoons) I have enjoyed the extra development given to Anakin. And Hayden has done really well in selling me the Jedi turned warrior, heading down the path to war and the dark side. The scenes in this sell his fall more than what the prequels ever presented. And even through it all, I love that Ahsoka still thinks of him as a great master.
The character writing seems more nuanced in this than any of the other series, except for maybe Andor, but then in Andor I didn't particulaly find anyone likeable or care that much about them so..
