Can you be more specific with what you consider the “soul” of New Vegas? I would consider it to be its embrace of Fallout 1/2’s tone and canon, as opposed to the fairly clean break between the rest of the franchise and Bethesda’s offerings.

Good for Owlcat. Their Pathfinder CRPGs are excellent, and it’s always good to have more independent publishers out there supporting the genre.

I heard mixed things about The Outer Worlds. My recollection is that people were somewhat disappointed by it, but I can’t remember any real specific critiques (other than it’s scope being more limited than some people were expecting). Anyone have a take on the game they’d like to share?

Bro, maybe the Wally world clientele is different in your neck of the woods but seeing someone with makeup on, or their hair did (leaving aside the question of quality for the time being…) is the exception to the rule.

Love Ahoy’s essays. They’re so slick.

Seconding the other poster. Excellent write up; you distilled every rebuttal point I would have made to OP perfectly.

I’m circle jerking here, but Lemmy needs content so I’m gonna inflict it on y’all. It’s just nice to hear that the genesis of this project is a bunch of creative people experimenting and seeing what sticks rather than some suit writing “Live Service” on a white board and circling it a bunch. Maybe a dollar sign or two.

I feel like this is the sort of thing that should make an appearance on LGReviews’ YouTube channel at some point, if it has not already.

You deserve the hose for this, because now I can’t stop thinking about it.

Is this mean t as a replacement for, or in addition to the Adaptive Controller kits that were in the news a few years back? This seems like a logical end point for that program (i.e. I remember the adaptive controller looking relatively unpolished in comparison to this product). Another commenter pointed out that the actual cost of the adaptive controller is greater than the sticker price would indicate since you need to add peripherals to the base $99 controller to achieve functionality, but hopefully it’s still a feasible option for folks that maybe can’t quite swing a $300 purchase.

Those poor souls have suffered enough, don’t you think?

Oh, never you fear pal, I’m certain that Hasbro has no intention of leaving the cashcow alone. Larian might be moving on to other things, but those ghouls certainly aren’t.

I barely know anything about Static-X other than the music video for Pushit, but that’s one rad picture there.

Vogel’s GDC talk about his career is well worth the time, if anyone hasn’t watched it. While it’s obviously aimed at the conference’s developer audience, there’s a whole lot in there that is applicable to lay people.

Only if you want to be hyper efficient. If you want to roleplay a lowly jobber space captain, it’s unnecessary.

Out of curiosity, what service do you use for this? I’m looking to make a purchase I’d rather not have tied to my bank account. I was going to go pick up a visa prepaid.

I wish you the best of luck in your spiritual journey, but the idea of getting a definitive answer to the God question is something humans have been working on for thousands of years. I wouldn’t beat yourself up about not having one lol

Big ups for Underrail. I’m about 10 hours into my first playthrough and having a blast. I’m concerned I’m going to hit a wall at some point because I didn’t really come into the game with a build in mind, so I’m pretty far from optimized. This far though, I’ve managed to scrape by on luck and buffs, but like you said, it keeps you on the edge.
