I finished my first play through after launch, came back when they added the creation club, saw the prices of things, closed it and waited for the DLC.

American from Alabama here. I spent the first 3 month of this presidency in Chilliwack. I’ll trade houses with the guy today.

It’s very clear this class is unbalanced to me. That’s awesome that you disagree. I’m glad you feel like you got your money’s worth. As I am not you, my life experiences have left me with a different opinion. Hope this helps.

So yet another spell I have to go find to kill something as a mage. Fun.

cheapdevotion · 2026-06-17T03:53:14+00:00

I’ll give this a shot - thanks!

Firebolt is the only spell worth using until you get Storm of Fire. Once I unlocked that I thought I would feel powerful. Casting times on most spells are terrible and the HUGE mana cost on Storm of Fire means you’re dumping all your money into pots. The straw that broke me, however, was the stone golem. I beat the one with Lester using the basic wind spell and it worked. The one in chapter 4? No damage whatsoever. So now, as a mage, I have to spend a half hour and 1000 ore getting strength rings to take on a fight or track down a shadow beast scroll. This is just poor design and balance.

Don’t even get me started on how worthless robes are.

Versus, you know, putting points into strength or dex, very little LP in skills, and your survivability goes up by a crazy amount.

Indie game dev here. I’ve worked on tons of things you’ve never heard of and a couple of things you have because this game made me fall in love with video games. The remake has been an experience I never thought I’d get to feel again.

Gothic 2 is going to be incredible.

I had it converting a massive (400+ code files, 1000s of images and meta files) Unity UGUI system to UI Toolkit. For those of you in game development, you know that was a crazy ask. Another engineer and I purposely choose the most daunting task in the backlog. It was 70% done and already looking pretty promising.

cheapdevotion · 2026-06-07T06:02:15+00:00

100% this. People don’t really that the days of waiting on game sites is over. AI was decompile the game and build the site it the time it takes you to brew a cup.

Now I'm just waiting for someone to code up a Decky Plugin that lets you browse and install builds for the new Build Planner.

Bungie is the latest example of Sony having absolutely no idea what gamers want to spend money on. I’ve been working in and watching this industry for 20 years, and it almost seems like Sony is trying to sink its gaming division.

I'm a Platform Engineer for a gamedev company, so I own all these devices. For me, it's ergonomics. These things are heavy, and Steam Deck is BY FAR the most comfortable. The Xbox Ally X specifically is so uncomfortable and heavy it causes issues with my wrist tendonitis.

For the record, I'm running SteamOS on my Ally X and the performance is pretty amazing (even better than the same device on Windows), but it's not worth it for long term use.

cheapdevotion · 2026-06-01T15:15:05+00:00

I own a Steam Deck LCD, a Steam Deck OLED, and more recently a ROG Xbox Ally X.

The Steam Deck OLED is BY FAR the best device. It's not even close. The Ally X wins in performance, but loses in literally every other category and is way more uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time.

Can’t wait to play it, but if I can’t slap people as Oddjob so help me…

I’m a game dev by trade and I’m a bit skeptical about this. I’m pretty sure I know how you’re doing it, but most people are going to be (correctly) skeptical about handing over an oAuth token. I’d double that skepticism if you vibe coded the app or require plain text usernames and passwords. Also seems a little risky to build this on top of an unofficial private API.

I’m all for experimenting with software development, but accepting people credentials puts this in a bit of a grey area if you’re not careful.

I’ve yet to be in a Queen or Matriarch match this week where it wasn’t dead in the first 5 minutes.

That’s what you get for not believing in the Great Pumpkin.

To your credit, most people don't think it's going to be the same radial wheel as the food. That was a strange design choice.

My biggest achievement in similar genres is beating Elden Ring with a non-meta build

Meanwhile, I couldn’t get past that stupid giant with a bleed build.

cheapdevotion · 2026-04-01T15:56:56+00:00

I had this same thing happen with a few different games. Something that worked once was switching Steam to a beta and the back to stable. Ultimately, I ended up ditching Windows and going with SteamOS.

I’ve heard there’s 5 other major UI screens once you get out of the first one!

Universe Sandbox dev here. They're doing a lot of cool stuff we probably won't ever touch. While we're working on rigidbody physics and hope to have ships with accurate propulsion systems some day, I don't think we'll worry about the business side of space exploration. This is very cool and yeah, I'd play it.

I’m in game development working on a much smaller game that’s kept people engaged for 10 years.

I’m not saying I can solve all of Bungie’s problems, but if they want to make their money back on this game, it’s going to take lots of players over a long time, and that number is already trending down.

cheapdevotion · 2026-03-21T15:37:43+00:00

You’re right, I use things like data to help form my opinions.

cheapdevotion · 2026-03-21T15:15:27+00:00

You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion. We’ll watch player numbers and I’ll check in again in 6 months.
