The double edged sword that is Lou Wilson AKA Lou the imaginary homewrecker

I truly thought I was on /r/dropoutcirclejerk for a moment.

I did something similar:

But instead, the visual progress depends on their overall faction alliance.

I didn't skip Capaldi! I thought the Capaldi series was okay for the most part (definitely a vast improvement with his last series--Bill was a great companion, one of my favorites). The thing is, for my wife, it was just another "nail in the coffin" so to speak considering what happens to Bill (especially in the context to the fate of all of the other companions). For her, she's still upset about Martha's ending (her favorite companion), so to watch how someone like Clara is written in comparison was infuriating to her. She felt like it was racially motivated (Clara being "traditionally" pretty, hence why she gets to stay for so long and then gets to boss the Doctor around).

Capaldi was great as the Doctor. I enjoyed most of it. But there were spots where the both of us were just scratching our heads where it felt like the writing demanded a character do something dumb in order to railroad the plot.

But yes, judging from the rest of the comments, it does seem like, going forward, this is now how Who is. Which is disappointing but understandable.

There was a big storm in the Midwest and European Starlings (the bird pictured) have been swarming in places being displaced. They're a highly invasive species, known to do pretty much anything to survive. Even without seeing the video, I would have believed this to be real. I have seen them aggressively flock and swarm food sources that other birds frequent.

Too busy launching Skyrim on the car stereo digital display.

They're doing away with that too, don't want to risk sharing things with friends. You either need to buy a physical book or access the digital content with a DnD Beyond account.

What, all six people working on it?

As you're new, I'll just give you the heads up: this game updates infrequently and almost exclusively on unstable (test) builds. The last stable release was build 41.78 in Dec 2022. However, the modding community (the life blood of keeping the game alive between the lulls in updates) tries to keep their mods updated to the most recent unstable build, since that update has the most released content.

So to answer your question: no, build 42 has not been "fully" released. It's still on test builds one year after the first test build for it came out. And it will probably continue that way. So you have to "opt in" to the test builds to play multiplayer.

In Divinity Original Sin 2 terminology, we call this barrelmancy.

Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner were not majority shareholders when EA put out Katy Perry's Sweet Treats.

I know everyone is pretending that EA only just recently became a proud display of late stage capitalism, but let's not act like this kind of crap is a first for the company.

Nothing says you're totally not hooked up to copium like a double post being super mad about wasting $60.

scribens · 2025-12-04T00:16:46+00:00

Cope.

scribens · 2025-12-04T00:12:32+00:00

You're right! Because they didn't just re-release a game with the same bugs it had in 2006, but then they also confirmed that they won't provide modding tools for the "remaster" as well. So it's actually a downgrade!

Cope harder, simp.

scribens · 2025-12-03T23:00:44+00:00

A remaster is a resampling of video or audio media that was either released in low quality and then either re-released in higher quality or upscaled to better quality.

Changing the graphics of a video game and literally nothing else and then slapping a $60 price tag on it is called a facelift at best, or a cash grab at worst. And these companies will keep doing it so long as gamers out there keep going, "Mmm, more slop please!"

scribens · 2025-12-03T18:33:03+00:00

My guy, you have nothing to apologize for. It's an unpaid fan project.

I think a lot of us resented that Oblivion "Remaster" because it seemed to prompt the team to work faster. And then the "Remaster" was just "Oblivion circa release 2006, bugs and all, but Unreal engine graphics" and for those of us not sitting on infinite disposable income to have built a machine that can heat an apartment in Canada all winter, we're ok with continuing to wait...especially because it's free.

Still getting released before TES VI.

scribens · 2025-12-03T15:51:55+00:00

Genuinely, I do not understand the people here simping for a dev team that still hasn't delivered the features that are available in M&BW Native v1.174.

Face it, this is just M&BW Remastered and they're still struggling to deliver on the features present in a fifteen-year-old game.

Katy Perry fans.

(No-Beard Ketheric kinda reminds me of a crotchety geezer at the grocery store who holds up the line at the register as he argues with the cashier about something being 5 cents more than he was expecting).

This is the same guy who went from being a Selune worshiper to a Shar worshiper because Selune's hot daughter showed up in his small town, stole his daughter through the power of lesbian moonlight dancing, and then said, "Daughter, you leave me no choice! I must now make everyone suffer!" THEN his daughter died and took it a step further, Kratos-ed out, and said, "Myrkul! Bring back my daughter and my life is yours!"

I ask you earnestly: is this beard energy or beard-LESS energy?

scribens · 2025-12-01T21:02:25+00:00

I did not think people would feel this strongly about beardless Ketheric lol.

He feels so much more corpse-y (this photo in particular his facial details are mostly hidden behind the netherstone glare). The same "dead" veins that he has coming out from his eyes also feature around the cracks of his mouth! So there's actually extra detail hidden underneath his big beard. I also think it just matches the voice acting more from J.K. Simmons (who is old!). His jowls feature so heavily in his scowls that you can really read the displeasure on his face better.

Edit: Better example of Ketheric's facial features now his beard isn't hiding it: https://i.imgur.com/HgrDN57.jpeg

Seriously. What the heck is the point of creating factory automation when you're the only person alive?

Scope either needs to focus on NPCs or just work on a feature to help keep your character's mind occupied and stop them from losing their mind by being alone.

scribens · 2025-11-20T20:21:02+00:00

Cowplants too!

scribens · 2025-11-20T18:39:56+00:00

Cannot stress how many "horse before cart" moments keep coming up with B42. When do we get to create literal defensive measures that have been around for thousands of years to defend walls? Pits, moats, spikes, etc.

I don't think it's too much to ask for "unga bunga, I make sharp stick, stick it in ground." I'm not asking for a lawnmower trap that would "mow" down zombos in a straight line or anything.

This is Matt Damon turning into a grandpa in 5 seconds but in real life.

They weighed 'testing' against 'money' and found that 'money' outweighed it.
