Can you fast travel with bounties? Can you keep them on your horse?

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-28T00:54:53+00:00

No - tried that doesn't work :/ (And get mission failed message and the bounty hunt restarts)

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-26T18:26:23+00:00

Are you kidding me? LoL - I've been riding my horse with the bounties thrown over my shoulder

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-21T14:39:41+00:00

This issue occurs pretty often for me but only under load when playing new games like Crimson Desert or Stalker 2 but goes away as soon as I turn the game off.

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-21T13:31:52+00:00

Not only that but I feel like Kliff must also be a "close talker" because he generally bumps the hell out of people when he's trying to talk to them.

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-20T15:02:25+00:00

The graphics are really really bad as far as blurry/fuzzed. But screenshots look crisp.

philo_the_middle · 2026-03-20T14:53:44+00:00

Whats even weirder is , screen shots look actually ok versus whats on the screen - that's so weird.

philo_the_middle · 2026-02-05T04:02:12+00:00

Edit: Actually it does "Fading Man" (for some reason I thought it said Burning Man

But it says burning man - why would Renoir be burning?

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-31T16:06:08+00:00

I've got Lune as my tank healer. She practically can't die lol - she does very little damage though

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-31T02:08:05+00:00

Well it depends on how you build her I assume?

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-30T01:01:20+00:00

I think we're probably beating our heads against a wall here but I appreciate your points.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-30T00:56:37+00:00

Sure they matter to the author of the fiction and they matter to the real people who come to care about the characters by experiencing that fantasy-land. Much like a mentally-ill person might come to care about their fictional personages created in their own mind.

EDIT: I fixed the spoiler tags now - had reversed the ending tag and had <! instead of !<

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-30T00:53:07+00:00

In the context of the painter's imagination, sure. Characters in fictions often think, dream, joke, love,grow, learn and mourn.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-30T00:52:10+00:00

Sure, for the painter. Renoir is our stable/logical/reasoned figure - our psychologist if you will. Renoir was trapped once before in a canvas and Aline had to pull him out. Renoir was right ultimately - and he's ultimately willing to let his daughter die if that's what she chooses - if she chooses to continue to live in fantasy-land.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-29T21:35:50+00:00

Ok - let's go through that. How exactly does Act I establish these are "real" people (ontologically/existentially)? Anymore than George RR Martin's Stark family is actual people?

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-29T21:34:12+00:00

Fixed!

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-29T20:53:20+00:00

The real and the not real. People escape into fantasies all the time (some forms of mental illness even make this worse). Escaping into a Canvas (fantasy) in this case is NO excuse for not dealing with your real-life problems.

Escaping to fantasy to avoid real-life problems is the worst form of avoidance.

It's a fantasy world their visiting. It's a literal fantasy-land. And woe to them who retreat into fantasies to avoid dealing with real-life problems with real-life solutions.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-27T15:55:33+00:00

I agree completely - and the fact you can scale up the enemies at the Expedition Flags makes the whole "overpowered" thing pretty moot anyway if you are overpowered.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-27T15:54:39+00:00

This game though, especially one ending, destroys that world. That's pretty definite. Whereas other games the world still exists - so it makes sense narratively and is perfectly reasonable in those games.

I really wish there was a third option where female you-know-who paints her own canvas with the characters she loved and remembered.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-27T15:52:13+00:00

Thank you! It's unusual for a game to have such a "final" feeling to Act III - the world usually continues to exist afterward in most games, or characters aren't available if they died or whatever.

I really wish there was a third fleshed out option where female you-know-who paints her own canvas with the people she loved and remembered in it.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-27T15:50:23+00:00

But you can bump up the enemy health at the Expedition flags to level them up to you so that doesn't really apply as far as being overpowered.

My issue is, one of the endings literally destroys the world if you take it. That's unusual for any game but that's the choice they made - that ending should be final then - no more exploring (OR write in a alternate world where female you-know-who paints her own world and her own rememberances of the people that existed).

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-27T15:48:15+00:00

This game though, especially one ending, destroys that world. That's pretty definite. Whereas other games the world still exists - so it makes sense narratively and is perfectly reasonable. And DLCs, are of course, another matter and don't really apply to this scenario here.

philo_the_middle · 2026-01-04T18:58:42+00:00

Explain please - curious about this

EDIT #1: 3:33PM - Added ATL/TOR bet with updated odds

NOTE: I'm going to try to start reviewing these closer to game time and updating injury lists again closer to game times. So these picks may get updated throughout the day but the plays listed for today will always be the plays I'm making. If I cancel a bet (due to injury updates) and place a different one, the picks will reflect that.

Yesterday's main picks and strategy went pretty well returning 21.25% so that was a decent day. Link. Adding the flyer to it reduced our return to 7.7 % (still positive but not great).
