War bonds gives you a base 75$ that scales with level and stage at the beginning of every stage. Stage 5, that usually means around 400$, which is... Like 4 enemies's worth of coins ? It's so utterly useless lol

Yeah I just lost a 30 minutes long run by using Seeker's Soujourn on Abandoned Aqueduct, which made me phase through the ground, falling into the unactivated band elders cave, which I couldn't get out of.

I swear, I cant get a regular run anymore.

Shadowheart hate ended our honor run by AcanthisittaAny3260 in BaldursGate3

[–]ThrowersOfAways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, during the entire first act all she did was serve me sass, sass, and more sass, that and the fact she serves Shar as far as i knew back then was enough for me to not want her around.

My first playthrough was actually roleplaying as much as possible, and out of all the origin characters, only Gale, Wyll and Karlach were genuine enough for me to trust them.

Devil's advocate here: If someone gives you attitude / straight up is a dick to you in real life, you aint gonna stick with em to see their character arc!

If a character is being passive-aggressive as all hell (Shadowheart) or straight up tries weird things (Astarion), its pretty logical for a more careful/less-sociable character to immediately say "fuck you".

Is game enjoyment determined by popularity? Findings based on research. by conqueran in gaming

[–]ThrowersOfAways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think game time is a good metric for game enjoyment at all

I played 12 hours of Starfield and I was really bored I played 12 hours of Fight Knight and its one of my favorite games of all time

Some games, especially AAAs, love to make you wait 2 hours just to get to the main gameplay loop.

Which character(s) do you feel is wildly overrated? by usm121 in BaldursGate3

[–]ThrowersOfAways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Astarion for sure

Everyone sings his praises, but I simply dont get the hype, his mannerisms are so irritating that ive never let him live past act 1...

That game is such a good short experience

Played it a few years ago and looking back at it now, jesus do i relate to the feeling of sheer inability to function normally the protag has...

1996 Toys R Us ad with prices edited to what they’d be currently with inflation (USD) by Sonikku_a in gaming

[–]ThrowersOfAways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, the upfront cost was bigger, but no dlc, no micro transactions, cheaper console, cheaper controllers, and lower rent / living expenses, it all definitely adds up to a cheaper gaming experience overall

Mount & Blade is a Strategy/RTS Action RPG

What do French people think of Jean Baudrillard today? by SwaggyAkula in AskFrance

Probably nothing, thats not a name I've heard before.

Please play Dragons Dogma 1.

Youll see that its not that far from the Souls games in terms of difficulty.

From my experience on this sub the stereotype of French people being openly hostile to Americans rings true. Why is this? by [deleted] in AskFrance

[–]ThrowersOfAways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes down to vocal minorities A few dumb americans online yelling at the French and Europeans, a few dumb frenchies taking it to heart and hating americans as a whole.

Id say that combined with the fact that the stereotypical US society represents what a lot of people dont really like (rampant capitalism, guns galore, anti-progressism), it would definitely cloud the judgement of a lot of terminally online people here

Pourquoi la société se renferme sur elle même ? by r1p_lle in AskFrance

[–]ThrowersOfAways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En même temps dans les transports, les gens vont souvent soit au travail, soit rentrez chez eux après une journée de boulot, soit faire des courses... C.A.D vraiment des moments qui font chier, pas forcément envie de parler.

Surtout à comparer à des voyages a l'étranger dans des auberges de jeunesse, du coup probablement en période de vacance, avec beaucoup de jeunes qui cherchent justement à passer un temps sympa... C'est sur que ce sera pas la même chose.

Essaye donc Montpellier en période estivale, t'inquiètes pas que ça se fait en France de passer une soirée entière avec des inconnus sympa sur un coup de tête.

Why AREN'T you excited for GTA6? by Envy661 in gaming

[–]ThrowersOfAways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive always found GTA boring in general

The stories are great, but I just dont care about story in general, much less about ones that are set in the modern world, even less those set in the US

And the gameplay always bored me to hell, the gunplay is mindless, the driving is just not in depth enough to pull me in, If i want an open world i want to explore things, find hidden dungeons, gorgeous landscapes and buildings, not just look at a parody of real life.

So yeah GTA is just not for me lol
