Well bad luck i guess. That happens... :|

Not sure if you know him...i doubt it. But he died. (Technically already a week ago but it wasn't made public until today)

My own fault for trespassing and trying to steal another civilian's medical supplies :-p I didn't know what else to do though - we desperately needed some medicine :-| !

No, I don't know him. I wanted to read a little about him anyway though. Sorry about the news *big comforting hug*

... edit ...
Dunno why I'm so tired this early, but I'm not gonna fight it :-p
Have a good night ElT, everyone else.
*big goodnight hugs all around, and a tip of my helmet*

Well you know war is hell and it leaves all involved damaged one way or the other....and the first victim is the innocence...

I already guesses that - was not really internationally known. Thanks. *big thank you hug*

Good night Agent. Sleep well *big goodnight hug* :)

I still have no idea what build I wanna use in Shadowrun Hong Kong, I've been on the character creation screen for close to an hour...

I'm leaning towards another Elf/Human riflewoman but that's pretty generic. Adepts/Melee characters seem to be absolute karma hogs and just Glory clones in the long run. I've got no interest in a Decker character, nor a Shaman (I'd rather go Mage again before Shaman). It takes forever for a mage to get going (in Dragonfall anyway) and I just did that build anyway... This really shouldn't be this hard :P

*tired hugs and waves all around*
Spent the majority of our day with my parents, which was quite lovely, but the rest of the day became a bit of a stressful affair (nothing to worry over, just one of those Murphy's Law days I suppose.) I'm in settling-in mode now, and letting go of the rest, as drifting into space with good music is a much better activity than moping and the like. ;)

I hope you've all had a lovely weekend, and that your weeks start off well and in good health!

Though I'll admit it's likely not a "good build" recommendation, and I haven't yet played Hong Kong, but in Dragonfall, I really enjoyed playing a Mage character with minimal Decker abilities (as in, just enough points to get into the matrix with some basic spells)... I wasn't able to find a Decker all that fulfilling, but loved being a mage in Shadowrun Returns... I wanted to change things up a bit, and though it wasn't a major change, it really did open up the gameplay and let me feel like I was enjoying a second class in those moments where decking came in handy and I didn't have a dedicated Decker in my party.

Hi! Always happy to see you here :)

I did a complete Mage playthrough in Dragonfall and gotta admit, I REALLY enjoyed it once I was able to throw some points into Body and picked up some crowd control spells...which is to say that I REALLY enjoyed the second half of the game haha. I just tried a melee character in Hong Kong, shoving all of my Karma into melee stuff (which is my Shadowruns MO, start off focusing exclusively on building up my skills, then my body). It seems usable, but I'll need to do a rebuild with some Karma thrown into Body.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever use Blitz in Dragonfall? I ended up using him instead of Dietrich as one of my must have team members, even choosing him over the others in some cases just in case I needed a decker :P

And on a completely unrelated note, my "Summer Sale Spree" has come to a close for the most part. I still might pick up a couple more games, but the brunt of it is done.

I picked up
(On GoG)
D4: Dreams Don't Die Season One (Deluxe Edition)
Dex
DoomDark's Revenge
Saints Row: The Third
The Lords of Midnight
Underrail
Way of the Samurai 4: DLC Pack

(On Steam)
Euro Truck Simulator 2: Deluxe Edition
Kingdom's of Amalur: Reckoning - Deluxe Edition
Saints Row IV: Game of the Century Upgrade Pack
Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell
Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell: Devil's Workshop Pack

(On Itch.io)
Lemma

The Sims 3 has a bunch of DLC marked way down on Steam, so I might splurge and pick up the expansion packs I don't have. I paid $20-ish for the base game bundled with Showtime, the combined remaining expansion packs would cost about $40 total, so that'd be $60 for the "full" experience, which I think is fair enough considering just how much content there is overall. The "stuff packs" however, can sit on Steam's digital shelf for all of eternity for all I care.

I did use Blitz a couple times in the beginning, but I found him to be really sub-par in everything but decking... I think that's actually what led me to decide to re-roll as a Mage with a bit of Decker skill, so that I could go on missions with decking sections without him (I did however still miss out on some Decker options in conversations and such as a result, however, as my decking skill wasn't up to par with Blitz's). I went through a similar feeling with Dietrich actually, wondering, "do I really want him along?" and it was a tough call whether to swap out him or Blitz... but I found that, more often than not, I'd prefer to have Dietrich along (though, admittedly, that may just be because my own character had some decking skill and not some shamanic skills.)

Is your steam profile private and such? I'm not one to like imposing, but I will admit I really enjoy getting to spy on people's wishlists from time to time. :)

*oh, and whenever you get around to playing Kingdoms of Amalur, do some Googling to find the patch that adds balance to the game's difficulty. It's basically an "added difficulty" patch, which I quite honestly can't even believe I'm recommending to anyone for any game, as I most often prefer games to be easier than they are (I love to game, but generally suck at it)... But I think with Amalur, it was a matter of the dev team going under before they were able to properly balance the game... as a result, by the time you're a quarter of the way through the game or less, you're already horribly overpowered and can almost one-shot anything in the game. If you don't mind, then it won't be an issue, as the world is gorgeous and the combat is as well, even when too easy.
But if that would lead to you getting horribly bored, it really is worth installing the patch. I personally found I had to make adjustments after installing the patch, as the default settings in the patch were actually a bit too difficult for me, but (as long as I'm remembering this correctly) you're able to customize a decent bit of it. Makes the game much more engaging.
Glad to see you around as well! I get the feeling we both likely lurk more than we post, but it's always nice to cross paths. :)

HI guys
I'm having a technical issue with a game,and need some advice,
it relates to mouse glitching during a game.
please let know who is available to chat.
thanks

You may have the best luck if you look in the game-specific forum for the game you're having an issue with (if you start here, you can find a list of all the game sub-forums: https://www.gog.com/forum)

If it's a game I have / have played and can help, I'll likely be awake a bit, so feel free to ask me, but the game sub-forums are usually the most reliable place to get help around here. :)

Thanks for the patch tips ;)

I liked the character of Dietrich but for me, I found him to be kinda useless in combat even compared to ol' Blitz haha.

I'll send you a chat message with my Steam info, be warned that I'm rarely actually "online" there and I tend to use my wishlist there as a "gee I'm kinda sorta interested in this game so I'll put it here so I can remember its name" type of tool, same way I use it here to be honest :P

Oh and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is really fun! Flying works just like the Batman: Arkham games, which is to say that flying is a pleasure :)

In all honestly, the deciding factor for me between Deitrich and Blitz was that Deitrich meant having an additional heal spell available. On the maps where there was a Shaman summon available, I'd occasionally really enjoy the mechanic and occasionally curse the fact that it existed at all... and the writing on either character seemed a little sub-par compared to the others, in my opinion. Still not bad compared to a ton of rpg's, but they were easily the weakest for me.
And no worries about Steam, I'm quite the same way. I am rarely online, and almost never play multiplayer games, and honestly I usually leave the "Chat" feature "offline" even when I do play Steam games, as I most often do it streaming to my Shield tv thingy, and I can't for the life of me make chat happen while using a gamepad and streaming on that thing so it's less stressful to just leave chat offline so I don't feel rude about not being able to reply to folks. :)
I really need to play more Saint's Row 3. I remember thinking it was quite silly but also quite fun, but I was distracted away from it very quickly. For some reason, that happens with me a lot, and for some reason, it's more likely to happen with open-world / sandbox games... I usually do get back to them, but it may be days/weeks/years/billionsandbillionsandbillions.../etc
The addition of enjoyable flight in an open-world game makes such a world of difference. The flying mechanics in Just Cause 3 (and going back and forth between wing suit and parachute to keep momentum) are incredibly fun, but I found it frustrating that they begin so limited (and unlock bit by bit as you do "challenges," some of which were just annoying to me). That's another one I didn't complete though (nowhere near it) so I can't speak for the game as a whole. But flying and wrecking sh*t like all get-out were quite good fun. I *really* enjoy flight in the Batman Arkham games, especially Arkham City, which is the one I'm currently (still) playing. That's the kind of game I kind of always like to have available to play, so I usually play them in small doses over longer periods of time. I treated Kingdoms of Amalur the same way and probably took a year or so to play through it. It wasn't for lack of interest, just worked out that way for some reason. :)

Good morning, thread!

*Monday hugs*

Hello and good morning Fred, Freds and Fredettes, hope everybody is doing okay!

I have spent a few nice days here. This morning the weather was good so I went out for a bit of cycling, got a nice few miles in.

The weekend consisted mainly of trackmania and killing floor lan play with my young brother (whose exams finished earlier last week) and a magnificent bout of fading suns (thats a tabletop rpg set in a new dune-like dark age in the future). One of the dear players went so strike at one point he banged his head on the table...


Considering the fun we had lanning trackmania I was wondering wether there are fun racing games on gog?

That redneck car-combat game looked like fun, but I forgot the title
Gutentag Fraulien!

Good morning everybody :)
I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready to start a new week...
**Big monday hugs with courage**

Good morning, everyone. Hope you're all doing at least okay so far. =)
