What is a soldier but a miserable pile of eaten cats and strange language?
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous was neat. Spent 70 hours on a playthrough and that was with modding more units in the crusade mode late in the game when I couldn't be arsed to grind it.

I would recommend it yeah, my problem with the base game is by the second half of the game you're so strong that nothing is even remotely a challenge which made me not care about doing anything but the main story.

If you're planning on wanting to do all of the shrines, enjoy upgrading armor, and want to pay more attention to the cooking system I would definitely recommend playing it in master mode instead. The world is more interesting to explore when there's actually some risk involved too. Like some of the mobs of enemies in master mode are brutally difficult if you just run straight in and try to fight something.

There's a TON of detail in the world of BOTW but there's not really much of an incentive to find that out if you can just mindlessly slash your way to victory.

yeah, i blasted through my normal mode playthrough and made master mode my "official" play.

Is Best Buy any good for gaming laptops these days?

They sell the same laptops as anyone else. They have more selection in-store than they used to.

I'm glad I got my Zephyrus G14 through them; when it needed a warranty repair I just dropped it off at the store and let them handle it instead of dealing with the manufacturer.

They price match too. As long as the model number is the exact same.

If you have a microcenter just go there instead

Costco is worth checking right now because if they put your model on sale within 90 days, they refund you the difference. I bought a Surface right after Christmas a few years back and they put it on sale mid-Feb.

Man, so much cool poo poo comes out this month, I don't know what in gonna play.
I've got the Guild wars 2 expac preordered, and that drops in the 28th. Really thinking about getting Elden Ring for launch day, I wasn't digging the idea of open world Dark Souls, but the more I think about it, it seems hella cool to explore a new world like that before people really know all the secrets. Also being able to figure out the good twink builds and spots in that brief window before the sweaty dudes ruin it could be fun too.

Snowrunner is dumb chill fun, and I can't really explain it. You just drive trucks around slowly, and try not to get stuck in the mud.

It's a puzzle game and the pieces are big trucks from the 60's thru the 80's.
I haven't played a ton lately, but it's so good.
It's also good coop, even if it's basically cheat mode.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
I'll definitely be getting Warhammer 3 as well, but also really looking forward to Elden Ring.

This year I've beaten Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne, currently working my way through Sekiro, should be done just in time for Elden Ring.

I completely missed that there was a Total Warhammer 3 coming. Anybody got any recommendations for reading up on the changes/additions over 2? Never been a big warhammer nerd but the total warhammer games were both massive timesinks for me.

It focuses more on Chaos and also introduces Kislev and Cathay (fantasy Russia and China) which are two completely new armies. It looks really, really good.

Love chaos but also love the sound of those other additions. I don't do warhammer fantasy at all but this is enough to get me to take the dive. Thank you.

First course bundle drops March 18. $24.99 for 48 freaking courses. Why didn't they do this earlier? There have been rumors swirling about the next Mario Kart being announced this year, I wonder if this will affect that.
