BG3 would be a good introduction to dnd. 5th edition tabletop plays pretty much the same. notable differences are in how movement is and the obvious aspect of being on more guardrails in a video game. although they still managed to make those guard rails feel near nonexistent.

I agree with what you’re saying except I think the Barbie movie has provided a unique and well thought out message that manny have failed to convey and finally feel they’re being heard.

getting overclock mods and trying new weapon builds

I’m not sure I got to this point, and tbh everytime I’ve played I’ve felt like I’m missing something, so my opinion might not be well grounded. But, I’ve given it quite a few tries and just never get to this point. I’ll give it another go though :)

lol tbh one of the only part I did like was the map, because of what you’re saying. It’s procedurally generated, but does require coordination on abilities / movement.

thanks brother, I don’t really try to not like it, it’s just not my cup of tea. I grew up playing L4D 1 and 2 a lot and I think thats all I’ll ever really enjoy from that genre. There are other similar games I’m not a huge fan of either.

yea thats a respectable reason, it’s a rarity.

IT’S TAIL TIME

Despite my opinion I will still constantly quote “I KNOW THE WAY.”

That is honestly like 90% of the reason I have stuck around, the community here is reminiscent of early reddit (or rather when I joined circa like 2011). But, yeah I totally appreciate that people enjoy it and I’m happy they do, I just really don’t agree with most their points.

Based on the sentiment I see online, my hot take is that Deep Rock Galactic is way over-hyped and is actually pretty shallow. It’s a fine turn your brain off game, but I don’t think it’s as great as people make it out to be.

I wish my wife didn’t have some gnarly arachnophobia. The “spiders are beneficial” argument doesn’t work :(

I feel you, I’ve been feeling similar lately too, I think it’s something a lot of people go through so just know you aren’t alone. I guess what I’m trying to say in my previous comment is that a common stigma is this:

It’s not really about being happy or sad

I get that you might not feel that way, but it kind of seems like you have some stuff weighing you down somewhere in there. Even if it isn’t obvious I just think having a therapist to talk to would really help. IMO it’s good even if someone doesn’t think anything is wrong and is perfectly happy. It’d be good just to maintain that!

I’m fixing it by going to therapy and am learning avenues to move forward happy. I would recommend you do the same even if you don’t think you have something mentally wrong, your happiness is important and thoughts like these can spiral out of control without you realizing it.

Yea my next promo is senior and honestly I’m probably just going to take that for the title and then fuck off. Based on my team’s current seniors it’s exactly how you describe it. Basically just manager light.

yeah I agree, just my unga bunga brain presenting itself

I very much want the ability to create more custom streams

fwiw I believe there is a proposal for this right now on github.

personally I’ll probably miss flair, and easily knowing my “karma” count (maybe I’m missing that?). me like big numbers.

Yeah honestly I’m not surprised, they can probably use their piles of cash to wipe away their tears. I work for a very large company as an SDE and when asked about how I feel about the manager track, I am met with awkward silence when I say I absolutely do not want that path. My manager probably doesn’t make a ton more than me, but they work at least 2x the hours with way more stress. Not worth it. These people chose these lives.

I like to play it in bed before sleeping, or lay on the couch and play either on the deck itself, or docked on the TV. The main reason I wasn’t using a lot of consoles was more just having to purchase games twice / lack of cross platform cloud saves. The deck made that way better.

ya no kidding, I like to think I’m generally pretty tolerant of the fireworks, but I just moved and the neighborhoods around me apparently really felt the need to “protest” the firework ban. At least three fires reported, awesome protest!

If I based my concerns off of what I worked on, I’d actually probably be cool with it. Things are generally taken very seriously and the general discourse around how things are handled (at least to my knowledge) are wildly exaggerated. However, knowing just how things work end to end and how Meta tends to handle things, I think accepting something like the terms they lay out will give them freedom to do whatever they want with whatever they want.

That might seem obvious to most folks but I guess it’s more just be saying yeah they’ll take as much as you can give them.
