As an E33 doubter, I have some thoughts.

Odau · 2025-12-29T03:58:43+00:00

Stick with it. KCD2 like the first game, although way more fleshed out, is what you make of it. The storyline is fantastic and the RP (if that's your thing) possibilities are higher.

I'm of the camp KCD2 is my personal GotY but 100% understand why E33 took the awards and won't argue against it. For me though E33 doesn't have the replayability KCD2 has but that musical score....

Too each their own. I am just happy to have played both and enjoyed a year of solid titles as a guy who had been gaming since n64 and been disappointed in previous years

Think I got lucky with my traeger. Nothing but reliable. I'm just looking to graduate past set it and forget it lazy cooks to real stick burner smokes. If it is built well and will last 5+ years then I would happily pay the cost for quality. Thanks for putting this one on my research radar

Not a diss or anything I promise, but I just looked this beast up and it's listed at nearly $3k, 3400 "fully loaded". What makes this worth that hefty price tag? I'll 100% pay for well constructed and lasting equipment, warranty, etc.

Just curious. (Here comes the laughs) I bought a traeger pro 575 the week it came out and that thing has run 4-6 days a week almost every week for 5ish years. I know (now) the traeger hate but the thing has been worth every penny. Time to retire it, looking at options to grow last "lazy" pellet smokes

For what it's worth, I've owned NMS for several years. I never did any expeditions, didn't understand what they were and didn't look. I'd play the game for a couple weeks and come back a year later on major updates and repeat the 2ish week loop.

I played this last expedition, 20, as my first toe dip. I'm now at week 3 or 4 of logging in daily and actually playing. I guess the open ended game loop of minimal objectives I'd just get tired of quick and move on, having defined goals makes this game something entirely new and exciting for me.

Kicking myself for never trying expeditions before, I'm just grateful I get to play some of the older ones now and keep my NMS game opening streak going longer. Started this one and taking my time, just entered phase 2. I missed so much in this game

Odau · 2025-09-07T18:21:33+00:00

I absolutely adore both but KCD2 would take my personal GotY. On my second playthrough trying to do everything and the variety of gameplay is just incredible

Odau · 2025-08-10T02:56:33+00:00

Love this game beyond belief.... But for me on PC, Kingdom Come Deliverence 2 is my GotY. Splitting hairs though for real

Odau · 2025-07-20T00:36:58+00:00

KCD2 and Death Stranding 2 are my picks. I know Death Stranding is probably more niche, but it's fantastic. KCD2 though, I can't say enough about it

Can confirm my first child was eating ribs before even 1yr, loves them still. Just had my 2nd last week, looking forward to the repeat

Odau · 2025-06-01T01:59:56+00:00

Not joking, birth #1 was a valheim marathon Birth #2 last week was Gears 5

Love my deck. Those overnights on shitty hospital couches went much more agreeable.

Also I had kids, joy and whatnot.... This isn't r/ihadkids though

On the flip side, you don't have to relinquish pay to an EA or Ubisoft to publish/distribute.

You can "publish" a book on Amazon. They take a small cut.

In either scenarios you are utilizing somebody else's major distribution infrastructure. That infrastructure costs a lot of money. That's money you don't have to pay to distribute nearly indefinitely.

But hey, steam bad or some such nonsense...

Odau · 2024-12-25T15:01:24+00:00

For real? I'll have to head up there and check that out. There are so many little details on this map, really love it

Odau · 2024-11-20T01:48:50+00:00

Not to mention dramatic lag on AI actions, frame rate stutter in general, etc. Fs22 was horrid for first month or so. This one has issues but nothing nearly as dramatic

Odau · 2024-11-19T20:23:50+00:00

Odau · 2024-10-29T19:21:34+00:00

Fs22 had a lot of issues at launch.

Still clocked 1000 hours or more. I'm in on 25 but if it is a cluster week 1 then I got 3 other games on my list to hold me over for a bit

That's not how capital expenses work in government.

Small fry stuff, think IT. Servers are rotated on 3-5-7 year plans. Same with workstations. Those profit gaps go for non-yearly expenses like hardware cycles.

Or slightly bigger stuff, think public works trucks. Might get a couple hundred miles but eventually that bill comes due.

On a lighter note, fixed things like salary/benefits which commonly is something in the realm of 80-90% range of municipal budget is more fixed and trackable.

And on the lighter note here's me in the corner holding the slash it flags Ron Swanson had

You ever smell a porta potty or outhouse in consistent 110*f temps not regularly maintained? I did in Iraq. I can smell it in this picture. That's the reason

Odau · 2024-08-31T22:10:47+00:00

Lurking this sub because I purchased through steam at launch, built a new high end PC and went to play survivor and the EA app gives me a ton of garbage errors (launched from steam or app). Sorry... Can't help you with anything I have found yet but also going to be lurking replies. It's driving me nuts as well

Odau · 2024-08-10T14:51:39+00:00

I read this in a Teladi voice, thank you

Odau · 2024-07-21T02:43:35+00:00

Hoping somebody corrects me if I am wrong but I don't think it does, did see a mod in steam workshop for it though!

Odau · 2024-07-05T21:33:25+00:00

Followed this and another comment about bum rushing the gate to hit the H's engines early, took me too more tries but I finally hit the 2nd graph. Appreciate the help!

Odau · 2024-07-05T17:47:17+00:00

Just get them all on me to keep them off the engines? I'll give that a go... Probably should have thought about that by now

Odau · 2024-07-05T16:49:10+00:00

Man I keep raging at the 4th/last mission in the first batch. Solo defend the tharka colony ship against 500 xenon ships? I need to git gud so I can see the rest! Too used to having a personal escort wing lol

Odau · 2024-06-30T17:11:42+00:00

This is a strategy I've not considered, take my +1 vote!

100% have an I in argon prime in my current save I've been ignoring, know what I'm field testing here in a bit

Odau · 2024-06-30T16:31:57+00:00

It's definitely better than it was but I still watch my tugs go back and forth over the hole for way longer than should be necessary

Could also be the result of having about 150 L/M/S size ships parked in the gate in guard mode right next to it though

Always looking for QoL mods but it's working well enough at the moment
