I think it’s just not trying to be a pass through headset, like the vision pro and galaxy xr, which is honestly fine with me, if it keeps the price from going into the thousands. If it’s feature built for giving a virtual display for gaming, and does that better than anything else (and I think it will, given the special dongle specifically for streaming games), then that has value.

Lucky you 😂

Same. I tried to just ‘go with it’ and ignore the flaws so that I could play multi-player with my SO. Act 2 was a slog. Act 3 is where we gave up completely. The only good part is that the whiny companions started dying on their own.

I’m a bot…

But if I were a man

I’d go to Japan

Maybe swim in the Seine

And learn to speak French

I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand

And finally do, what I could, 'cause I can

If I were a man!

We used to really enjoy game pass as a family. I think the best part is discovering games that we wouldn’t have played otherwise. But at some point we stopped using it, so we cancelled. We’ve gotten 1 or 2 months free or cheap a couple of times now, but I ended up mainly playing one game… Although I suppose I did discover that I liked Avowed more than Expedition 33 😳. If I’d had to buy them, I would have only bought Expedition 33.

So I think we’ll keep going like this… Once a year or so use a cheap trial to get a month and try a lot of games, and use steam sales the rest of the year, and every now and then buy a full price game we really want.

OMG I’m totally using this from now on. 😆

That’s pretty awesome.

Also, reading other comments, holy fuck, y’all don’t want good news, y’all want to be miserable. Why even read this sub?

“Chicken safely crosses road”

Comment: I bet the chicken is racist.

Morrowind - the first game that let me leave the path. It completely changed RPGs for me, and I loved it.

Solasta - this game captured the D&D feeling like no other game has. My wife and I have spent hundreds of hours playing this together.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard - this game touched me emotionally, more than any game before it. The whole 3rd act is an emotional rollercoaster. Plus it has one of my favorite action sequences ever, in The Siege of Weisshaupt.

Wow, that looks really good. I know nothing about this game… Will have to look up if it’s part of a series or what.

And I don’t think any of those require these kind of advertising images. I suppose that’s why we don’t really see them anymore

Lol, it strikes me that I don’t even know how they advertise games outside of blogs these days?

Hello from Iowa. You want more of this?

Yea, I didn’t know how to write about it without spoiling it 😩

I just read a book that somewhat follows this kind of premise: A person believes in ghosts, and all these things happen, and, as the reader, I’m totally on board with it being ghosts. Then a new character enters, and gives logical explanations for everything, and the main character, and me, the reader, realize that, oh damn, it’s not ghosts at all. Except then it turns out it WAS ghosts, and the shit hits the fan.

It was a really fun read.

Oh, thank you! I’ll have to find the 2nd half. It did seem rather short on its own for a trailer!

Huh, I don’t really get the trailer. Is that guy from the previous games? Or is he just a random monster victim. What’s the significance of salt? Why would the coin have her fooled?

Sorry if I’m ignorant to common lore.

And puppies have 4 legs.

Let’s say more random stuff!

Y’all are acting like I said I hate all fantasy rpg games.

Sure, and Dragon Age, too. But they’re not D&D. I like fantasy RPGs, but when I think D&D, I think party of ~4 with friends.

But a lot of people are. I didn’t care for BG3, but I tolerated it as a multiplayer game because it’s fun to play with friends. I also played Solasta solo, but most of my hours were co-op, because it’s just a lot more fun.

I guess for me the adventuring ‘party’ experience is a big part of D&D.

A solo experience could still be fun, but, like I said, I’m not getting excited about it.
