H-Dreamer

I remember the board (or was it the old one?) being occupied with salivating about his sister that game or was it his gf? don't remember.

Kinda weird it didn't exist so far. Granted it won't have the high certainty to score like a trip to the redzone has in football, but showing the Powerplay could work, better not do split-screen though.

So FIFA announced today that Spain, Portugal and Morocco will share-host the 2030 World Cup, but also there will be a game each in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay to celebrate 100 years of World Cups (the first one was in Uruguay). https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/organisation/fifa-council/media-releases/fifa-council-takes-key-decisions-on-fifa-world-cup-tm-editions-in-2030-and-2034 getting sillier every time.

Nothing like the season being basically over 3 weeks in and the amount of comical fumbles I've had to watch.... How do you manage to be 0-3 with the leagues leading Passer and Receiver?

I might have messed up #1 already, dunno haven't tried to find her yet. #2 I got in time. #3 let's say Orin picked the wrong person to blackmail me lol But if it's just stuff like that it's fine. One can't be everywhere at once.

@Drew a Penaltyyou sure there's a timer in Act 3? Because I keep finding new side-quests and the amount of stuff to do is just too insane for an actual timer, unless one triggered a quest or something.

Giants might win afterall, but Saquon...

wtf happened to the Giants? 7 Quarters into the season and both sides of the ball look like utter trash

Doubt it, they needed Rodgers to play 65% of Offense snaps to get another 1st Rounder IIRC.

I will still take at least a week more I think. Yesterday my PC started to lag so hard, I felt like I was taking an hour for 5 minutes of content. Not sure what the issue there was as it was lagging already when I started the game (unusual), then got better only to crash and burn when I entered the circus.

I figured as much, it's just I felt like it wouldn't be something my party would concern itself with right now realistically. You know, since we're supposed to hunt the remaining two big baddies. Circus might still be a thing I do, the house resolved itself unfortunately. lol

Yh. I haven't done much there yet, but I entered and was immediately confronted with some dude trying to get his house back from refugees and I am wondering why that is supposed to be my issue. The dialogue options sure didn't seem appealing, same for the checks to enter the circus, I was like "game hasn't even given me a reason to want to enter" lol I liked the militaristic british pigeons though.

Well, my clothes issue came from the button each char has, you can toggle between "default" and "camp clothes" there, I don't remember toggling it, might have glitched out. So far I haven't noticed mayor issues though, outside of getting stuck in dialogue mode a few times, but that hasn't happened in a while, so it might be fixed. You do know about the button on the left that tell your party to stay together or stay seperate? Some movements can auto-toggle it, like when you do something not all your members can do. For example if Lae'zel uses her special Gith-jump-powers and makes jumps others can't do. Finally entered the outskirts of BG today and yh it was the laggy mess I expected. I hope I can spend a lot of time in confined areas and not on streets full of people or this will soon turn unplayable for me or at least the hours I can play in one sitting will have to be reduced, can't have my GPU at 92°C all day. edit: btw seems the easyness of the Romance subgame wasn't quite intended https://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/23858507/baldurs-gate-3-horny-bug-gale

I am at 84 hours now and just ended Act II on Sunday. It was a glorious cutscene of me reaching the outskirts of the big city and standing proudly in front of my party, completely naked. lol Happened because for some reason everyone was running around in their camp clothes when I left Act II area, despite wearing armor and I tried if taking it off and on again would fix it (it didn't). Apparently I then forgot to put the camp clothes back on for my MC and the cutscene had everyone only wearing those, except my MC...

Well they usually kiss each other on the cheeks not directly on the mouth like lovers, but I do agree that this would have been a nothinburger if he had been less arrogant and stupid.

Don't know if you guys have been paying attention to the bizarre scandal around Spains FA president? He had the brilliant idea of kissing one of the players of the winning Women's World Cup team on the mouth and instead of taking the smart PR move of apologizing and lying low he has been doubling down since. Aside from the usual whining about "woke cancel culture", we have the FA claiming the player agreed it was consensual - she immediately denied being involved in that statement and said it wasn't, the Presidents mother entering her local church claiming she would go on hunger strike over the unfair treatment of her son and now the FA petitioned UEFA to ban Spain from International competition due to government interference in FA matters (aka politicans calling for his resignation), a move clearly meant to scare politicians away from the holy cow of football. FIFA meanwhile has issued a ban on him for now. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/28/rfef-asks-uefa-to-suspend-spanish-teams-luis-rubiales https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66637880

Yh, that is quite a lot. Currently debating on when I go again, but damn plane tickets get more expensive by the day.

So, you going after all? Round-trip?

Space isn't my thing, so that game won't see me playing, but I hope for your sake that Bethesda still cares about quality. Unlike those other AAA publishers, who are now whining because BG3 dared to be good and without ingame store. lol

Yh even Halsin was making clear overtures during that one. lol

She went from the starting "eh let's not talk to each other" to liking me within one or two long rests, I think it had something to do with me rushing ahead in the story a bit too quickly and made for some awkward pacing.

Oh yeah, should take that into account.

Fix: Shadowheart - for pretty much the same reasons, plus she is obviously meant to be a main story character with all the stuff about her goddess around, so good to have her Intel Almost Fix: Lae'zel - because Tank and I found Karlach pretty late in Act 1 and it seemed that she also would be important to the story, but not sure about that anymore in Act 2 Rotate: Wyll - might upgrade to Lae'zels spot, I like his spells and one needs a moral compass in the group occasionally Karlach - currently in over Lae'zel cause I was doing her side-quest and trying to get a feel for Barb-play and she can carry the infernal iron Astarion - used as the Rogue until I noticed that it's not really necessary to carry one, I can lockpick with my main just fine, it's only 3 Bonus points less. Irrelevant on most locks Almost never: Gale - cause I play Mage myself and two is just too squishy Not yet unlocked Halsin as a Partymember, he's just there. btw I heared an evil party can attain a certain Drow, I killed her though.

I think it might have been an initiative issue for my first try, basically the enemy acting before anyone else in the house, so none were entangled in a fight and just rushed the story-triggering NPC ignoring me entirely.

I am no way close to playing perfect lol, but I enjoy it and I progress anyway, unlike Pathfinder my last cRPG where it was at some point impossible to win fights if you didn't minmax your characters right, so I switched to storymode to get my moneys worth. Fights can be enjoyably random, especially with all the fluids that remain on the ground and nothing like the whole room explosing because you missed the barrel of alcohol next to the enemy and your fireball now started a chain-reaction. The results are so different sometimes too. Like in Act 2 with the Harpers:
