With RAM prices spiked the way they are, probably not. With that said, I would be somewhat nervous about the 1-star reviews talking about power delivery issues. Those are so incredibly hard to diagnose if you get unlucky.

i feel the same way and ran MLV. That being said, S has a very touching side story so make sure you explore that in her optional dialogues.
Somewhat related, something that I very much appreciate in this game is the way it handles the party: everyone is in the party; only some of the party gets to fight. It basically bakes in BG3’s expanded party mods, which is amazing. I know some people like it for “replayability”, but I personally hate knowing that there are party banter triggers that require particular party comps in particular moments or you miss them.
re: For those who have sold items on FB Market, how did you take payment?

Zelle, payment verified in my account before they get the item.

I'll make the required "it's not the actual LED that goes bad, it's the cheap capacitor that goes bad" post. that's supposed to make us feel better.
It should make you feel like you know more than you did before. Capacitors, especially cheap capacitors, are heat sensitive. Anytime you hear someone complaining that their fancy LED bulb that was supposed to last two decades died in a couple of years, it's almost always because it was a cheap bulb placed in an enclosed fixture when the box specifically told them that bulb wasn't rated to be in enclosed fixtures.
But hey, it was cheap!

Thank goodness Obama saved us from the evils of incandescent light. Who likes warm mood lighting anyway???
LED lights come in all colors and color temperatures. They are superior to incandescent bulbs in literally every application except for in applications in which the waste heat is desirable, like in an attic during winter.
ITT: a bunch of people bitching about LED lights when their actual, and legitimate, bitching point is about “disposable” light fixtures that happen to use LED diodes.

You are correct. A slimeball lawyer saying that the words don't mean what they say, they mean something totally different is just adding to the stupidity.
Guarantee that the lawyer thinks this argument is dumb as frick, but their slimeball client is demanding they make it, so they are swallowing their pride for a paycheck.
Yet they are the slimeball and the client isn’t, apparently :lol:

don't know why everyone feels that way, I enjoyed my time on the jury(foremen ) it was interesting, no big imposition, and it is, after all, your civic duty
Because people love to bitch and moan about “broken systems” and then screech at the idea that they might bear some responsibility for fixing said system. They would much rather keep the system in their thoughts and prayers :lol:
quote:
you’re definitely meant to go directly to finish the main story
This is actually catching me off guard a bit. I wasn’t expecting to mostly go in a straight line on the map, such that any areas I would want to revisit become progressively more annoying to get back to, such that it’s a significant disincentive to do so. Then again, considering the entire point of the game is to get to a singular feature on the landscape, I’m not sure why it surprises me :lol:
quote:
MLV is the shite
I will accept no disagreement.
As a general rule, I'm good enough at games to do party comp based on vibes: what makes sense to the story, who do I like, etc. So while I have no doubt that TD is likely correct, L feels like more of a part of the narrative, plus I just like her more than S, so them's the breaks :lol:
Obviously without giving narrative reasons why, do people tend to restart clean or do endless NG+ for replays?
quote:
how fricked was that?
All kinds of fricked up :lol:
"I know you think some of these characters have dealt with trauma, but wait, there's more!" :lol:
Nope, just V.
Though I think it figured it out: I removed everyone, including V, after adding S. Then added V, removed S, then added M and L. It now appears to be working as expected. I’m wondering if there was a bug with how V was originally added to the party.

are you asking about when you get "first strike" or advantage , or whatever its called? in this case its simple....its the order you added the member to the party. or more general as the match flows? i thinks it all just speed based.
Kind of a combination.
Current speed:
V = 634
M = 615
L = 560
V has First Strike pictos equipped.
I removed everyone from my party except V, then added M and L, in that order.
If I run up, V goes first. Of If I punch something, M goes first, then V then L.
Make it make sense to me :lol:
quote:
but i want to know your thoughts! was it absolute cinema
So, obviously a little jarring :lol: But yeah, really incredible narrative quality. Very much enjoying the story thus far.
Though if someone could help me fix the bad anti-aliasing (or whatever is causing the jagged edges) during cutscenes, I would appreciate it :lol:
quote:
I believe the players will attack first based on speed. Pictos may alter that if only one person is using it but if all party members learn it then it will just default back to speed.
It’s apparently way frickier than that. For example, if you punch something, it ignores the Pictos :lol:
Wrapped up Act 1 this morning.
To keep things spoiler free, damn am I finding turn order to be fiddly. Between adding/removing party members, Speed, punching/not punching, and the First Strike pictos, I wish I could figure out how to consistently have the same damned turn order :lol:

I still haven’t bought GoW:R because I’m tired of being presented with puzzles and immediately told how to solve them.

I think he might mean climbing/traversal puzzles.

Your implication is that crime is random in Baton Rouge and they were simply lucky; basically everyone on this board who has lived in Baton Rouge could sketch out a “crime heat map” on command. Don’t spend time in those areas and the odds that you’ll be a victim of a crime fall off a cliff.
To put it another way, if we split Baton Rouge into two cities, north and south, South Baton Rouge would become a “safe city” overnight.
The fact that there are dangerous areas seven miles from my house doesn’t particularly affect me, regardless of both locations technically being in the same city.

BR is just scary bad now.
Y’all are so fricking ridiculous :lol:
Depends on what you’re looking for. I know this board likes to shite in Baton Rouge for “crime”, but the reality is that it doesn’t really affect anyone who lives in good areas, and our football coaches always, obviously, live in good areas.
If you like living in small towns, Baton Rouge would be far down the list. If you don’t, it would easily be in the top half. Just depends on what you want.

I have no issue with a lack of minimap or HUD. What I’d like is along the lines of the map of the overworld: make me hit a button or go into a menu. Keep it super simple. Here’s the bazar, here’s the arena, here’s a rough pencil sketch of the large paths. Make it like I pulled a rough parchment or hide out of my pack and make general marks on it as I go.
