what if, instead of dice rolls, we used some kind of advanced calculating machine that can simulate a fantasy world and the creatures therein to resolve our choices

That's the future, with lovely AI-generated NPC dialogue.

BG3 has karmic dice turned on by default, I've heard conflicting things about how it works but what I was told was that it applies to you and the npcs and will start throwing successes if there are too many failures in a row and vice versa

I put in 5 hours of FF16 over the weekend. I'm in the transition between the Twinside confrontation and whatever comes next. I try to play this when I have a block of time longer than an hour available. I've talked about the game before and how I think it is my GotY at the moment.

3 games I currently have on my Sony wishlist are Forspoken, Spider-Man 2, and God of War: Ragnarök. I'm waiting for God of War and Forspoken to drop below $30 when on sale.

I am hype for spider-man 2. I've been debating buying it on release or waiting for a sale. The $70 price tags always make me hesitate. I wish it had a coop mode, but it looks to be single-player. Kraven looks good.

A phone game I play when waiting somewhere is Merge Survival.

It is just a stupid little merge game that caught my eye and doesn't take a lot of time. It is like a fidget toy. I do enjoy it though.

Hopefully this is what Seb wanted, but I do think it is a gotcha admin challenge. If I'm right it was fun posting with most of you. You can find me on discord. 👋

I'm going to be sad if BG3 doesn't have a dramatic moment or two that switches to the real time choice thing like Disco Elysium did, that poo poo was mindblowing and the mechanic needs a bigger audience

it's dumb and you should turn it off immediately

make sure you're also clicking the "add bonus" button on the roll screen so you can have skills like the guidance cantrip cast on you to further boost your chances

they should do an RPG where instead of dice you use a deck of cards that you have to cycle through completely and you have to choose when to eat a natural 1 on a skill check

you need to cast it legit one time and then it lets you recast it for free forever. there's an amulet that give you a once daily casting of it to get the ball rolling

You could already do that by just spamming web zip.

Edit: Oh right, I forgot they added the move where he literally springboard jumps over the building https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUtXh9WA_nc&t=158s

The cod 2021 game was free on psn recently and it's baffling that this poo poo makes money. Looks like poo poo, boring to play, takes like a minute+ to get into a game which tops out at teams of 6 for objective maps, and they're still using the same assets from 13 years ago. I suppose it's fitting for a game that champions neoliberalism
