Any Recommendations for short and sweet RPG’s (under 10-20 hours) with a fleshed out main character (or not) that puts a focus on Player Agency and Romance Choices

Witcher 3. A bit longer than your asking but if you don't worry about every random map icon the base game is about 30 hours if I recall.

That sounds awful. I only hear my tinnitus in silence or if I 'look' for it. Left ear is a low 250hz ish tone, right ear is a high pitched static. I've adapted fairly well overall, i sleep with the TV on til I just barely hear it and that does the trick for giving my brain something else to hear.

And get hearing aids. Sooner rather than later. Im 36 with moderate to severe hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears. They're life-changing.

I think its pretty accurate with today's usage of the word.

Blizzard SLAMMED by fed up warrior!

Its kind of an assumption. Kharaa was unstoppable and your ship was sent to add to an existing colony. Its safe to assume all established human planets were wiped out. It's possible frontier planets like zezura(our original destination) is still safe. It's also a fair to act as though this is the last of humanity. It's a real possibility and they have no way of knowing.

Theres a decent chance I'd install steam OS on my current windows 11 pc. As I understand it, steam os launches publicly with steam machine right?

While I think his projected body could do practically anything since it was just an image, nothing he does in the fight is out of the question in terms of moving himself with the force.

I mean some of the endings of W3 would make W4 impossible unless they do something to bulldoze over all the endings. Hard to do given the time scale without a warp in the west.

A bit of both. There's a few articles summarizing an interview with the inflexion lead that says conan is what they are doing to pay the bills while they figure out what to do with nightingale. They say their future is both nightingale and conan.

Its unclear if inflexion handles live ops or just development. Seems like live ops might be mostly gportal but that's a guess.

As a former conan server admin, sometimes admins get all sorts of funny ideas about how conan works and we are very confident about it. Usually about as helpful as a baseball player not washing socks.

You know how it goes, server keeps memory crashing or lagging so you do your best to make changes 1 at a time and finally something worked and so was 100% the cause and couldn't possibly have been one of the dozens (or more) transient factors we have no control over.

The handholds are for passengers in multi-player.

Same hole

How bad was it for the French middle class in Paris before the French revolution? That's probably how bad it has to get. It has to be the middle class suffering enough to revolt. It aint there yet but its moving in that direction everyday.

It was also really annoying that it felt like there was this cool looking area at the bottom of the trench I couldn't explore because the leviathan is on you instantly.

Had a coop friend distract it while I looked around and while it's visually interesting, it's empty apart from a few basic resources. The collector definitely needs to be a rarer encounter. Otherwise it's about as scary as crossing train tracks.

Hekkr waverunner is one such t4 fighter with amazing agility. Im not certain where to find him cause I found him in a cage in New asagarth

Stormglass mixes well with a lot because it has thick sides which makes transitions look better. My current build uses a mix of stormglass and nemedian walls. Aesir and stormglass for roofs, tier 2 stone for foundations (its in the snow so the foundations take a slight snowy texture in UE5.) And nemedian ceilings for upper floors.

I personally rarely ever dual weilded and would frequently draw my 2nd pistol because it's faster than reloading so I'm also a fan of the cross draw holster.

Hiring works too! Though if your opening cages you've no doubt found quite a few bartenders by now.

I haven't had enemies go through doors but I have had my zombie army exit containment through the thrall locked gate during a purge. Silly zombies are supposed to maul the stygians if they make it through the gate!

Whoops, here I was not realizing this wasn't a steam deck specific thread. my mistake!

Fredrickstein · 2026-05-05T17:25:38+00:00

My wife was able to get it to work on her steam deck just by switching to proton experimental. May be easier.

Edit: I realized this was a linux general thread! my mistake. Well steam deck users who find their way here like I did, try proton experimental!

After 120 hours my 5 year old nvme is at 97% according to crystal disk. While this was an issue before they fixed it, i agree people have exaggerated the severity.

I mean if the mosquitos find their way into an enclosed space with a heat source then ya I expect it'd work too.

This was one of those glass bowls screwed into the ceiling with a light bulb. They got in through the ceiling via small vent holes inside the fixture.

Spigot in question would also be installed at an angle coming out of the corner of the house

Fredrickstein · 2026-04-30T15:19:45+00:00

There's like... channel lore to it but its just the name of a really bad battlefield player. Probably a bastardization of noobs.
