Luckily, you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it.
Same. I am available 9 - 5, but I tend to be actually working 10 - 4. It fluctuates depending on how badly management wants things. And of course there’s the rotating on call schedule where sometimes I have to wake up in the middle of the night to confirm that a service my team owns is impacted by some other service’s outage. FUN!
Our Spring service was so simple until we decided we needed annotations to handle the fetching of settings. Now we are corrupted with needless reflection.
It’s incredibly good. I know the phrase “better than it has any right to be” is over-used, but in this case I believe it applies. It’s a survival crafting game made by Obsidian Entertainment. Yes, it’s the same team that made Fallout: New Vegas. Though not perfect, it excels in ambience and design. You really feel like you’re in a sequel to “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”. It has decent progression, a pretty damn good story, and combat mechanics that hit that “tough but fair” vibe juuuuust right. Unfortunately, the characters can be a little annoying and it’s only up to four players. These are my only main gripes as it checks all the right boxes for a survival crafting game in my book:
I legitimately enjoyed my time in Grounded more than Valheim. I also tried a similar game called Smalland and couldn’t get over the janky combat. If you like survival crafting games, don’t miss this one. Oh and there’s a slider that turns down the fidelity on spiders so you can play it even if you have arachnophobia. You might still have nightmares of wolf spiders though.
Hey now, it happens here too!
I got extremely bored and frustrated playing NMS. I’m glad other people like it, but for whatever reason it felt like an unrewarding slog for me.
None of the options you’ve suggested are bad. And you can always respec for 100 space bucks anyway.
In my very subjective opinion, I stay away from Magic Initiate and Eldritch Blast in general unless I’m planning on taking the Agonizing Blast from the Warlock class itself.
Yeah, it’s a bit like System Shock. If you don’t like monsters jumping in your face then you might want to avoid Prey.
Everyone else though… please play Prey. It was so good and didn’t get the attention it deserves.
Previously, you couldn’t remove some abomination your friend made as a joke when they joined your game. You also can’t rename characters. This helps with those things at least.
Not everyone wants to play through the game multiple times as it could take 80+ hours.
Unlock your hotbar and fix 'em yourself. Sometimes tedious, but not too bad. Be sure to add extra rows too. There’s a plus button on the right side.
There’s pros and cons to having a single standard difficulty. But anyway, you can use mods/editors to make the souls games (or any game for that matter) much easier.
Love me my Amish butter log. I put that baby in the freezer and carve out little chunks for use during the week.
