I’m gonna turn down both Halsin’s and the Emperor’s sexual advances, again, then remind hot Karl that she’s the only one for me, and then when we leave camp, I’ll probably immediately get murderized by Sarevok because I’m not gonna join his latest murder cult and he’s not gonna like that.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 3 has it all.

hot Karl

That’s it, that’s what I’m calling her now.

Karlach is best girl. Best personality too.

dezmd, rok temu

Karlach is a perfect storm character in my case.

My wife nearly always plays a tall barbarian woman when we play DnD and did when we first met IRL and played BG1, BG2, and IWD.

Kar is short for her IRL name and what I’ve always called her.

She wore a moustache and vato headband for halloween ~13 years ago and I called her Hot Karl (and before that I think she even used Hot Karl as a band name on Guitar Hero or Rock Band years prior).

She’s even the same short-ish height (well, short when next to me) as the voice actress for Karlach, Samantha Béart, which while random is still an amusing data point. [I swear I just looked that up on the fly for funsies]

OF COURSE Karlach is best girl, because Wife is best girl. ;)

Karlach’s “Fuck yes let’s break something” personality is very similar to how my wife acts. But she’s less “Barbarian” and more “Witch”.

Ha, love it.

I drown or get eaten by aggressive fauna.

The world of Subnautica is not a friendly place for the unprepared.

Well, I’m lost in this ever-changing burning basement and have to shoot my tears at all these weird enemies and hope I find some good power-ups, and hope I can evade Mom. (Binding of Isaac)

Really hope I can get an entry position at Ryujin Industries (they always seem to be recruiting) so I can afford to not live in the slums and work on getting the skills needed to survive long-term.

Does tabletop count? I become an incredibly powerful Planeswalker and visit zendikar, ravnica, and Kamigawa.

Otherwise, I’ll probably just settle into the grind on a freighter and drift into the starfield.

VRChat. What does that mean? Do I literally get teleported into vrchat as I am irl? Do I have a little menu that’ll pop up on my wrist to change avatars/bodies? Can I go to new worlds or am I stuck in the last world I was in? Am I by myself in some kinda limbo-vrchat where it’s not actually a game but some kind of other universe that just appears to be vrchat, or can I actually meet up with other people? Can I get hurt or do the same rules of physics, health, food, etc apply? Is vrchat even a game?

If vrchat isn’t considered a game, then Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It’ll be cool to be in the future I guess? The game itself is fun, but if I show up as the person I am irl, then it’ll be kinda boring. I guess I could always learn how to do sweet tricks and grinds though.

RDR 2. Bought it back in 2019 but my PC couldn’t really handle it too well (less than 45 FPS on medium), so I shelved it.

But now I have a 4090 and I’m enjoying the hell out of the game. It was slow at first but by the second chapter I was hooked. Looks damn good for a 4-year-old game, too; dare I say as good as a modern ray traced title. (I mean it’s close)

DLSS implementation wasn’t great, but it did sharpen things up a bit over the muddiness that came with TAA.

PrivateNoob, rok temu do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

KBM EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately I’m starting to feel the dreaded wrist pain because of that, so I may need to diversify myself with a controller.

uninvitedguest, rok temu do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

Steam deck user here. I’ve done with it what I couldn’t achieve with even the Steam controller: preference for trackpads + gyro for pretty much everything (FPS included) except for hotkey heavy action RPG’s (Dragon Age, Witcher 2, etc).

I don’t play RTS anymore. I had a falling out with them around Supreme Commander days.

tal, rok temu

I want Total Annihilation 2. I enjoyed Total Annihilation, but Supreme Commander never really clicked. Just didn’t feel like a sequel.

uninvitedguest, rok temu

I’m with you.

I haven’t played it but there is Beyond All Reason, which even riffs on Arm and Core.

looks

Ah, that looks neat, thanks, may have to give it a go. Yeah, it looks like it uses the Spring Engine, which was originally intended to be an open-source engine to run TA. I’ve played Zero-K, which is another game running on the Spring Engine that also aims for an TA feel. Wasn’t really aimed for a sequel so much as bringing back TA, though.

I honestly wish we had a steam controller that was more like the deck. I could never really get used to the Steam controller while I love using the deck. Can’t really put my finger on what it is about it though.

uninvitedguest, rok temu

As do I. I’d chalk it up to the asymmetry of the Steam controller. Lack of a D-pad, lack of a right analogue stick. The Steam Deck back buttons are also far better, and 4 is twice as good as 2.

bbbhltz, rok temu do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

This is actually a good question. I hope you get some replies from serious gamers.

I am not a serious gamer, but I’ve always preferred keyboards for FPS and RTS games. Years ago when I tried an FPS game for the first time on a console using a controller it was a disaster and took weeks to get used to.

tal, rok temu

That being said, normally console FPSes are designed to be much more-forgiving as to response time to account for the controller, and there’s typically some level of auto-aim. If you’re playing against other players, they’re going to be using analog sticks too.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m with you on this, would rather have the mouse, just that I dunno if I’d call it a disaster. It’d be a disaster if people using mice/keyboards were competitively playing against people with analog sticks in an FPS.
