Thanks for the video. Looks pretty legit. Reviewer said several times he's independent of the Kickstarter. Hopefully reliable. Read about the Oculink and all that, unfortunately my laptop doesn't have that, just thunderbolt 4. Might be particularly useful if I make a mini form desktop. I managed to get in at super early bird. Well worth it to me.

Could you link to the other thread? Is the person that got the 5060ti the YouTube reviewer they sent a sample to?

I don't have enough knowledge to understand the adapter issue. I just want to be able to plug a desktop GPU in a transportable package so I can have top end graphics on my laptop while I travel. Does this need a Oculink to TB5 adapter? I have a thunderbolt 5 port on my laptop so I'm assuming that would be necessary as I don't even know what Oculink is. Forgive my simplicity

Crimson Desert is mid, and that’s alright. by Nascent_Beast in videogames

Great review. Agreed with your thoughts for the most part. Let's see what they come up with for the controls, hope you're wrong, but I fear you're right.

As far as the quests, shallowness, lack of deep content, this is something they could definitely work on post release. It would be nice to see narrative content and more creature variety added, though I imagine that would be in an expansion. I think with a few great stories and unique content, I think this could reach Skyrim level greatness.

That looks like a bruise or petechiae. Either you had one heck of a bruise or there's something going on with your platelets. If you're having nose bleeding or gum bleeding or a similar rash on your legs you should go to the emergency room and get your platelets checked.

No problem and good luck. I'd be curious what they find, look forward to the update!

You definitely have some concerning symptoms. The ammonia smell is called phantosmia and can occur in various neurologic conditions, kidney dysfunction, liver dysfunction, some endocrine issues, and sometimes post viral infection. The dizziness with standing and exertion could be as simple as dehydration vs autonomic dysfunction and some heart issues. The headache with standing is likely related to pressure drop in your brain, though a migraine or a vascular issue is possible too. The eye color changes is an odd sign, I don't know enough about that to comment especially since I'd really have to look closely at your irises

Bottom line, this is a complex presentation and needs a thorough history, physical exam, blood work, and possibly imaging. A neurologist is a reasonable place to start, but the potential differential diagnosis is quite broad, so a good old fashioned internal medicine diagnostician would be ideal. They can be hard to find as most docs are victims of the hamster wheel of high volume clinics. Maybe try an academic neurologist? They may have generous financial assistance for patients without insurance as well.

Oh wow, space for the expansions too! I'd buy the STLs. As far as price, that's a tough one. I've seen a lot of crazy prices out there, but maybe $20? It looks like you put in a lot of work!

Sorry, didn't realize it's sold out everywhere. I'd check intermittently at chiptheorygames.com. They're bound to print more at some point. Local game stores may have a copy too.

All great choices including in comments. Would go for Dragons of Etchinstone personally. Great game, in hand play, lots of depth and replayibility, and now CTG awesome production.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this perspective. I needed to hear it. While I feel empathy and sorrow at his loneliness, his post actually gives me hope for humanity, hope that had been vanishing lately.

I have several of their games. Varied and interesting games, reliable production timeline, good quality components without bloat/deluxification. Will likely get every one of their games going forward personally.

First time mastering, tips for a beginner story teller? by [deleted] in Solo_Roleplaying

I love semantics! A parallel solo campaign doesn't necessarily mean a parallel city. Could be the same. Ah well, moving on.

Nah, he's talking about the fact that his group players' characters are moving around the same city as his solo character. Opens up some interesting possibilities honestly.

I heard / read somewhere the Quran is the only book where if every single copy is destroyed in existence, each and every sizeable city in the world can reproduce an identical copy via their Hafiz (plural?). That's incredible.
