That's true, but even in Shire Gandalf wouldn't even touch the ring. When he merely reached for it he got Sauron PTSD flashbacks and he physically stepped away in fear when Frodo tried to give the ring to him later. He uses Frodo to test whether it's cool after being heated in fire and I imagine this is for the same reason, not because he considers Frodo a good guinea pig for experimenting with metal heat dissipation.

Has 0 issues handling it in an envelope tho lol

I can give so many but you'll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

I've recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm... all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you're completely new to the indie scene you probably can't go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you'll find what you want

Frodo should have kept that envelope from the beginning of the movie, that thin slice of paper alone let Gandalf handle the ring when otherwise he wouldn't dare even touch it

Does Fluent Reader count? Doesn't have an amazing interface but it's free and simple to use.

Tbf the social aspect was barely functional, I can't add friends from steam ingame since day one and we had trouble joining each other games if it was set to private.

So I wouldn't say perfectly fine but then again, no clue if them basing everything on a psn username would fix it either.

Well I dunno about others but I'm both playing less and when I do play, on higher difficulty missions people explore and open caches way less than in the early days.

While technically not paywalled, for me personally it's definitely going to end up being like that. Down the line that's be fine for a live service game but it's a 40€ purchase and it's only been a few months, I'm not sure I'm a fan of this model in the long run.

In terms of balance it does make sense tho, it was overshadowing EAT too much. Now it's more in line with it, it has better overall sustain and reliability but a smaller burst (1 every 30 vs 2 every 60). Also works with stratagem jammers,so it might be better for bots while EATs are for bugs.

Looks really promising but way too much in early access for me to risk that price tag, I'd rather try furthest frontier or the game from the settlers creator since they are further along iirc. I do look forward to trying it out one day tho, seems right up my valley if they manage to add some meaningful late game goals or challenges!

I had issues with mint but everything worked fine with PopOS. Not a large sample I know but my 2 cents

 

They will be standalone games with separate game balance, systems and future expansions.

Your purchases will still be shared between both games.

 

A first look at Felicia Day's Guild Wars 2 return.

 

We have always used the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter account as our primary place to give players updates and information on emergent game issues, among many other things. What made this channel so useful was that it allowed us to communicate quickly and succinctly, and our entire community could see the updates regardless of whether they had a Twitter account.

We are not able to predict how future updates to Twitter's policies may impact our official account's availability, and it's important to us that all players have a reliable source of news about the game, your accounts, and our studio. We will continue to communicate on Twitter like we have previously, but we will make our news and announcements forum our first location for "breaking news" on issues that affect things like the live game service. The Guild Wars 2 forums are visible regardless of registration or login, and we will keep it that way.

You can also keep an eye on our bug forum for regular game bugs, use our dev tracker to keep an eye on official developer posts, or enable notifications in any forum using the "follow" button to stay up to date.

 

Meta has not announced an official release date for the app, but it showing up on the Google Play store likely means a release is imminent.

 

Remnant II certainly is more Remnant, but it's by no means resting on its laurels. There are some big changes coming to core elements of the experience - from class design to visuals to procedural generation and more. Based on my hands-on time with it, all the new stuff is paying off - big time.

As for me, I really really loved Remnant 1 and got all expansions for it gladly. I'm also a big fan of Gunfire Games studio and their other AA games like Darksiders and have high hopes for Remnant 2.

I haven't fully watched the video yet but it seems like the sequel improves on the original in pretty much every way while not being just a lazy continuation and instead having actual gameplay changes and improvements.

 

Sony has just revealed lots of highly confidential information about its PlayStation business by mistake. As part of the FTC v. Microsoft hearing, Sony supplied a document from PlayStation chief Jim Ryan that includes redacted details on the margins Sony shares with publishers, its Call of Duty revenues, and even the cost of developing some of its games.

It looks like Sony redacted the documents with a black Sharpie — but when you scan them in, it’s easy to see some of the redactions. Oops.

 

He doesn't seem to have a lot of positive opinions about the balance update - applying boons on druid seems much much worse than before (requires lots of ability spam and makes CA part of rotation instead of a reactive action), scourge has been hit hard and suffers from the same problem as druid when it comes to boon application and herald lost flexibility in how you play it due to the upkeep requirement.

 

Is there any way to display user roles like "creator", "moderator" and "admin" on kbin the way lemmy shows them? A setting, userscript, custom style perhaps? I like the sleek look of kbin but not when it's at the cost of functionality, lacking pretty important information.

Final Fantasy XVI promised to be an 'evolution' of the Final Fantasy formula. Instead, I think it's a big step back, hollowing out core franchise pillars such as party members, exploration, itemization, character progression and customization. In short, this just isn't an RPG, and as flashy as the combat and cutscenes are, I really hope this style of game is not the future of the Final Fantasy franchise.

 

A big update just dropped for one of my favorite games of the year. The developers have been amazing supporting the game and communicating with the playerbase ever since it launched on steam in early access, the game feels extremely well polished and fun to play so check it out if you're interested in a challenging atmospheric basebuilder with a twist!
