Somehow I had missed that Bannerlord has come to consoles, been waiting for this one a long time.

Sequels often disappoint, but so far this one strikes a great balance between keeping what made the original fun, incorporating new ideas, and adding a ton of quality of life features that fix what made the original a bit frustrating.

Obviously porting this kind of game to a controller is a huge task, and over all they did a good job. Some of the map and menu navigation is a bit clunky, but in almost every way it’s better than warband.

Looking forward to never being able to finish this one either.

That is still one of the most surreal moments to come out of that whole mess.

I just don’t understand how it was allowed to play out. At some point, someone had to decide that going ahead with it was more important than waiting a day and finding a suitable location.

For the life of me I can’t remember what the press conference was about, only the screw up.

I really need to get over the early learning curve and get into this game.

I’ve tried a few times and don’t know why it doesn’t engage me.

Give it another try tonight.

For me it’s displays and audio systems, but I do use RS232 on a daily basis.

Yesterday I had to manually make a null modem cable cause I lost my final little orange dongle.

Trash 80? This brought back some fond memories.

Certianly a decent motorcycle.

He is what got me in to watching youtube gamers. His kill everything and yolo runs on the newer fallout games are great.

While the online elements of souls games can be fun, I still fully enjoy them offline.

The ones that bother me are the single player games that require a server connection. As time goes by more and more solo games are going to die out because of it.

I have had a much better time w Skyrim mods than FO4 on the PS4 as far as stability goes.

I only have it on PS4, and yes there are lots of mods in the workshop. There are obviously limitations.

Every few months I try installing various mods to make what I want out of it, darker nights, flashlight mod, weapon and armour changes for a more hard core experience, etc, and end up with 15 or so mods installed.

Start a new hardcore mode, get just about past diamond city, and the game invariably starts crashing.

No idea which one or ones are causing the issue, and in the end I get annoyed and go play something else.

This is all fine and good till it’s a conflict between two specific mods. Damn you FO4 on PS4, why you gotta be like that?

Not doing that from my work computer…

There is a non-zero chance that once they have a chip in your brain, they will find a way to stream ads in to it.

For that reason, I’m out.

We will all go together when we go

Must have a low IQ cause that’s one box I’m not even going to try and open.

Yeah, I went console when I realised I wanted to spend time actually playing the game.

Sure I’m missing out on the absolute highest settings, mods, etc.

However, I spend 55 minutes out of an hour actually playing the game.

That one looks and behaves just like my Miko. Course, Miko is older now so she generally obeys physics.

Mine has a brief brake assist, about 1.5 seconds it won’t roll backwards on a hill start.

It’s so subtle and I’ve had the car so long, I completely forget about it.

Any time I drive a car without it freak out when I come off the brake and the car starts moving backwards.

I’ve changed jobs, and moved, to get my commute down to 10 min each way.

As much as I can I ride my motorcycle.

There is nothing I can do to actually be rid of a car, and people who think that can change in American society are just fooling themselves.

Sure it would be great to have high speed rail, and a variety of public transit options, none of that is going to change the suburban sprawl.

I have 20 years experience, just cracked a project I’ve been working on for almost three years, and I still hesitate to consider myself an expert.

Now, I’ll tell any lay person who will listen that I’m an expert, but man, some days I just feel clueless.

I find the biggest issue I run into is lack of a peer group. I work in a large IS department, but other than one guy at my last company who works with a different language, I have no one to talk shop with.
