Yes

People here and on Reddit really think that polls are made with just a few calls and then some average/extrapolation and that’s it.

Meanwhile it’s an entire field with a lot of complex math and people with more knowledge about it than everyone in this comment section combined.

And then the classic “polls are shit, they always get it wrong”. By definition polls are correct because they just represent an objective data set. Then they translate it into a phrase that we humans can (somewhat) understand but people then take it wrongly.

They read “Poll X says candidate Y will win” when instead they should read “According to the data obtained for Poll X, candidate Y has a Z% chance of winning with a confidence level of W%”. And that isn’t wrong unless someone wants to find the mistake in the math.

I played through the whole game with my gf and didn’t see nor read anything that would indicate that.

Regardless of if you play, solo or with up to 4 people there are 4 characters in your party. Your main character can be one of the predefined ones or not. You will probably have/want a mix of both.

First play through will take more than 100h and you will still have plenty to see for subsequent playtroughs. It’s literally impossible to see all of it first time regardless of how you play.

Just get it, it’s not just a GOTY, it’s one of the best games in a long while.

Oh I loved Hades so I’ll be getting this very soon. Maybe once I’m done with Sekiro this will be the next I’ll play.

At this point I’ll never finish Nier Replicant…

Historically incumbent presidents always have the upper hand.

Have fun!!

That would work

We play it on my pc which is wired directly to the tv. We use 2 XBOX controllers but PS4 ones will work just as well.

You will probably want to have a pretty big screen because it’s almost always split screen (except in some dialogues if that other player listens to the convo). However you can always set the fonts to a bigger size which is super helpful.

Unfortunately it’s not like DOS 2 where the split screen merges when you are close together but that’s not the end of the world. The game has turn based combat so even if you have some streaming delays it’s not a big deal.

Your frame rate will drop a bit on Act 3 but it gets better with every patch.

If you have any more questions let me know.

BG3 with my GF. After almost 200h we are closing the wrapping out first play through.

Alone I recently started Nier Replicant after having played Automata last year. Different feel to it and the quests are fairly basic atm (go here, do that) but I owe it to the developers to play it.

I read your comment, then I read the article. Well said

Disinformation is the word

They 100% wouldn’t

Idk in what world is that guy living in. Time and time again have they proven that. It’s a cult.

But 4 and 5 > 3 so 1/4 and 1/5 > 1/3 it’s actually more expensive

/s

Fuck I hate how plausible that actually is. Not what you just said ofc, I’m not an idiot, but that people will actually say that unironically

So 3 years? How long did that take epic? About the same time almost 2 decades later?

Yea no

People complain because the EGS launcher is shit and not getting better in any meaningful way. Plus all the anti consumer shit that they do.

EGS didn’t come out last year. Heck GOG galaxy is fairly decent and it’s not even required and they have a fraction of the budget. And guess what a lot of people like and support them.

I mean steam sucked for 8 years like 20 years ago. Technology wasn’t the same as it is. They revolutionized the pc gaming scene and I’d argue that even that Steam version was better than the current EGS version. Was it uglier? Yea maybe but it did the job. You could install, manage and launch your games, cloud saves and it wasn’t bloat or spyware. The Steam just kept getting better even if with a messy ui in some places. They do a ton of shit that generates them no direct profit but that makes using Steam a no brainer. And gamers respect and value that even if not all of them.

Heck I’m sure that they very quickly came up with a functional shopping cart at the very least.

Gabe is 61. Looking at the presidential candidates for the upcoming US election and it even looks young.

Merry Christmas!!! In the end I had to choose one quickly before I went home for the holidays so I quickly read one page or so from these two and decided to go with Red Mars.

I’m now about 100 pages in and while I’m not in love with it, it is definitely intriguing. The writing style is very sober and not embellished almost at all. He does also go on quite a bit about random stuff from time to time but it’s quite clear that he put a lot of thought into so many things so I’m curious to see how it will pan out. The book is also rather long so I feel ( and in a way hope) that it will pick up a bit more and soon.

Steam UI is messy but they have a ton of functionality in their store/system. Epic took ages to even get a functioning cart, Steam has tons of features which are not even tied to the games in their store like remote play and Steam VR. Family sharing is also really cool for example. Also Steam basically killed piracy for a long time due to amazing Steam sales + convenience of use.

Thanks again for the input. I will probably read a few pages of those two and see what I feel like reading the most.

I’ll try to remember to let you know in the future :)

Have a great weekend
