Where have I seen this before…

lol, imagine a studio developing a game for half a decade and then just sharing it out.

“Don’t tell our staff, but it was a labour of love and they’re all being let go because we’re out of investor funds. Also don’t tell the investors. Or the publisher. In fact don’t say anything until we’ve made it to Montenegro.”

Wellp, time to get a new job.

Yeah, that argument falls apart when henry just randomly moves the pick even though you didn’t move the controller.

Literally—well at least from the devs and ever since KCD1—that’s how it works.

How else would they express how noob he is?

Look at Henry like you look at yourself 10 years ago. So confident, knew so much less. He’s your intern. Interns are frustrating. You were also a frustrating fumbler at the beginning of everything you learned.

That “random” movement increases the further through the lockpick acrion he gets. But when he’s skilled, it doesn’t. He’s patient and gentle with the tension.

What more could you want from a lockpicking system that’s super basic for all gamers but still represents the reality of someone learning lockpicking?

Edit: Also he picks locks in the first game doesn’t he? So he just forgets how locks work because of his fall? Bad design imo but a great game other than that one system.

The immersion of this is all explained. I highly recommend you play KCD1, though it is more challenging and realistic in skilling and especially combat. You have to teach him to read before you can read lockpicking books, for example. Becaue obviously not many people knew how to then, especially a blacksmith’s boy in a small village. You can, yes. Henry can’t. And if you try read it appears as gibberish to you, slowly getting better as he learns.

You got the rawdog, mate! Congo rats.

Like all of Henry’s skills, he sucks at the start.

You are him. So you’ve got some faint knowledge that it can be done, but no idea how exactly, and with rudimentary tools to boot.

Just like you IRL, it takes Henry learning how locks fundamentally work, what picking is actually doing inside, then getting better at the feel of it. And just like IRL, Henry gets good at lock picking quite quickly after some practice and being shared knowledge. Sure enough, he too soon understands how easy mediaeval locks are.

All of the skills are like this by design. You may think something is easy, but Henry don’t. He knows as much as you did before you looked into it.

That’s three paragraphs of “I took this serious.”

BG3 is the same as any of the other games previously. A D&D game with an amazing DM. Immersive story and characters, great system at the foundation, and excellent gameplay to channel the story and system through.

I think BG3 spent most of their time saying no to dull or shallow ideas, rather than reinventing the wheel. And of course it worked incredibly.

There are small phones. There’s more small phones than big phones. And I have big thumbs so stop whinging about the minority.

Edit: Omg I just lost to clickbait. FUCK.

Aye. The US flag should be up there, but sadly times they are a-changin’. Russia’s unlocked some achievements with that.

You’ve got positions in power talking about annexing Denmark’s land…

Russia fought for the Allies and EU in WW2 too. Funny how it all turns out.

Oh, that’s good.

I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

My god is it a cunt to play, though…if your ADHD is off the charts you’re a perfectionist like me.

Highly recommend.

Yeah. A wagon.

Sonar systems[…]generate slow-rolling sound waves topping out at around 235 decibels[…]. These sound waves can travel for hundreds of miles under water, and can retain an intensity of 140 decibels as far as 300 miles from their source.

140 dB is a gunshot at the source. About 190 in air pressure will cause an explosive shockwave that can kill a person. 235 dB in dense water pressure is…somewhat more violent, as we understand how the decibal curve works and molecular pressure at depth.

Nah. The planet has had way worse and will have way worse. We’re just an annoying itch you may never had known existed in just a few short tens of thousands of years; mere moments in Earth’s timeline.

Should be the default setting.

Oooh. You’d fit right in at .ml

PEGI and many other groups are private groups. They’re not an authority of any form. They’re not associated with government, public regulation, or public election. They’re a group of people that create their own standards outside of the ISO or any actual regulation representing the public.

Some countries do have actual public systems, but many just have these private groups that know best.
