Yet another reminder of how old I am. 😂

I think the crash may be delayed by the post-truth phenomenon we’re in, but it’s coming. The experts are saying that AI isn’t good for much of anything requiring real thought or nuance, so it will be interesting to see how these companies do if they’re laying crucial people off.

Hey, at least there's an AI Snoop Dog game! 😂 I couldn't give a fuck about Amazon trying to build a game platform (as pathetic as that is), tbh, but the AI layoffs are really depressing. When the AI bubble bursts, we're going to have a real mess on our hands. But, sadly, that crash is the best...

This, I understand this feeling well. That said, I suspect Cahir may be on to something. Your work is probably better than you think. Depression can distort our self-perception. But depression aside, this is something all artists go through - myself included. Sometimes we create bad work -...

@O_Bruce Are there classes or workshops you can do? Groups that meet to critique each others’ work?

This can happen (indeed it happened to me), but the good news is that you can find another therapist. It can take some shopping around to find someone who you mesh with. It's a bit of a pain, but well worth the effort if it works. Fixing ourselves is always hard work. More context from my own...

I'm terribly sorry to hear this. I don't know if anything I have to say is helpful. Like JustKneller, I find your question hard to answer. At the very least, please know that you've been heard. As for what I do have to say, it's a bit of a stream of consciousness, random and disconnected...

Thank you for your answers! HoMM 3 is on sale at GOG, too, for anyone else who's curious. How do you all feel about the new one that's coming out? Reasons for optimism or pessimism?

I missed this franchise, somehow. Do you think it would hold up for new players trying it for the first time today? The early ones look dated, but would trying the more recent titles be worth it, or do you need the backstory from the early games?

The last one I had was a PS3, and I realized soon after I got it that I was already over console gaming. It basically became my 'Netflix Machine.' I do have fond memories of the old school console days, Sega Master System, Genesis, playing Resident Evil all night on PS1...

@JustKneller is there a difference, on average, in muscle power? For example, can the average laptop compete comparatively with a console in terms of working smoothly with decent monitors? To me, the one advantage consoles had was lost as soon as they got internet connectivity. Devs no longer...

How bad do you think this is?

Sorry about your run, Black Elk! It must sting to make it that far.

Great observations. It seems like pure laziness that they only made the even numbers matter. I understand that +1 at every increment would lead to insane bonuses by 18, but in this day and age - when you could use a phone app for rolling even in table top - there's no reason to stay with d20...

Love this playthrough. And you know, it got me thinking. Obviously, it would be nigh impossible to implement in-game, character-created music into a scene. But they could have had bard dialogue for it. Akin to the intimidation mechanic in implementation, maybe? "Tell me where the leader of the...

You aren't alone. I felt the urgency as well, and rushed ahead in my first run. Sometimes I wish they'd add a narrative element in these games where you're advised not to rush. Glad to hear you're enjoying it more!

Welcome!

Yes! No ‘roots’ music. Every song must be at least 17 minutes long.

Talking about unearthing hidden items: I found this little gem messing around in the basement of one of the houses in the blighted village. I'm normally against book bans, but in this case, I could make an exception. I certainly won't be donating it to the public library if/when I make it to...

The endorsement of kleptomania in this thread is shocking, quite frankly. 😂
