Voy a caminar hacia el trafico/Voy a caminar adentro del trafico/Voy a caminar en frente del trafico

^meaning either toward/into/in front of traffic. I would say the last one sounds most natural, but none of them convey it quite right I think. It would be easier to say you are going to try to get run over maybe?

trying to top the Duolingo charts without Plus is an exercise in frustration btw. Plus gives you access to super easy extra lessons that give you hundreds of xp

Yeah, in Spanish the more natural way would be "Me voy a tirar al tráfico/Me voy a tirar enfrente de un coche", literally meaning I'm going to throw myself into traffic/in front of a car respectively.

The more usual expression is "Throw myself out of the window" for frustrating/stressing things through.

Nothing felt more badass as a monk than standing toe to toe with that guy and really laying into him with giant form + haste + blur. Moon druid support with exposing bite + lae'zel putting them off guard meant that we brought it down in two rounds

Chev posted:

That bit of dev anecdote/conventional wisdom actually goes all the way back to Half-Life 1. It makes sense, too, a complex internal state isn't gonna be perceived by the player without being surfaced somehow. In a game where the enemy's lifetime is severely limited (since the moment they encounter the player, one of them dies) and their purpose is only killing the player, that's the barks.

Yeah, in some ways the HL2 AI is more complex and can, for example, handle areas without the need for the player-set nodes that the HL1 AI soldiers do, but then the HL1 soldiers are bullet sponges and they also don't shoot on the move, so you really get to percieve their movement and they live long enough for you to see them, whereas you just see the HL2 combine soldier sidestep while shooting, even though the latter is more effective generally. The combine enemies are also less tough than the HL1 grunt soldiers.

Oh, so you didn't use the One Weird Trick at all? You can lure him into the center then hit the crucible lever to smash him in two hits.

We didn't.

When we saw that They had weakness to bludgeoning, it never even occurred to us. Lae'zel had a maul equipped and my guy had the staff of correllon, so between my guy hitting for 18-30 a pop and lae'zel being able to hit for 18-30 (and even higher with feinting strike) it didn't take much to bring it down. It only occurred to us well after the fact that we could do that. Does it still drop the adamantine helmet if you forge him to death?

That's pretty cool.

I'm going to have a really tough time deciding my top 10 for game of the year this year. BG3 is almost certainly #1 at this point, but I was also saying that about FF16 before I finished it (and Age of Wonders 4, and Octopath Traveler 2, and Tears of the Kingdom...)

2023 is almost certainly going to be a Year of the Game.

It's dumb that it's not on PC, but a PS5 version wouldn't add anything. In the absence of any PS5-specific features (and it is a PS3 game after all), a PS4 version is strictly better because it runs on more systems.

If the game is able to support above 60 fps then they can still support that on PS5 on the PS4 version. Who knows if they will, but it's not something that requires a dedicated PS5 release (and conversely, there's no guarantee that it would support higher framerates even if they did release a PS5 version).

edit: but if it turns out to be 30 fps then :lol:

Even when they get 60fps unlocks, PS4 games via BC are usually compromised compared to what the PS5 could do. Graphic settings, resolution, and load times.

It's not even a PS4 game, it's a PS3 game. I don't think there's anything the PS5 can do that a straight port of RDR1 is going to be able to take advantage of.

The original game has spaghetti code iirc which is why there was never a PC version. It probably can’t handle an unlocked frame rate

I doubt it could do 4K60 through BC. If I'm not mistaken, no BC title has been 4K60.

Obviously I haven't done a thorough QA assessment, but it runs quite well uncapped on Xenia.

Played a 4-hour gaming sesh of co-op bg3 last night, game does rule.

One thing I would really love is a lone wolf mode like dos2 had, where our guys get major bonuses for playing with a small party, because there is definite choice paralysis going on each turn, particularly with the spellcasters and their ten spells each, which I imagine is only going to get worse as they level up.

Most turns right now I feel guilty when I do a simple melee attack instead of a goofier set of actions, like I would love to hit the "improvised melee weapon" button but I can't imagine it's be more effective than a greataxe

There are PS4 games that are 4K60 on PS4 Pro, so those at least should still be 4K60 on PS5. I don't know if there are any that are specifically 4K60 only on PS5 with true native 4K, but I know TLOU2 at least does 4K60 output with an internal 1440p resolution on PS5 when it's only 30fps on PS4.
