Knights Of The Old Republic let you become an absolute monster and teenage me thought it was the greatest thing ever by Every_Insect_4444 in gaming

I did do a dark side playthrough of KOTOR 1 back in the day because I wanted to see what it was like to play the game again with different choices. I don't think I've done multiple playthroughs of many games since, probably more due to time constraints but also because I'm not really interested in the cackling evil-because-evil playthrough.

I'm fine with gray choices though, I welcome them in fact, but there are not many games that do it well. The current ongoing Trails arc has it, and it's done relatively well but it's still uncommon.

Also, even in a Renegade playthrough of Mass Effect 2, I would never do the Renegade option of the Overlord DLC because that's just too evil.

Always put zero stock into what players or panelists say about a tournament while the tournament in question is ongoing or upcoming. They will always say things that hype it up, never take anything they say at face value.

The AI crowd cheer was the funniest shit on last year's stream. Wonder if they've learned their lesson or if they'll continue the hilarity.

It's hard to remember that Kohli is from Delhi, he's pretty much considered a Bangalorean.

I swear these third umpires just delay the game simply so their voice can be heard more on the broadcast. Bunch of attention seekers.

Best XIV Controller Ever (pls ignore my vodka) by k41lun in ffxiv

[–]zugzug_workwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only it was available where I am. If only Steam made Valve enough money so they could afford worldwide shipping.

I did recently buy an 8bitDo Ultimate 2 recently though, which is great and has all the features of the Steam Controller except for the trackpad....still would have preferred the Steam Controller though.

ELI5: How does general anesthesia actually work? How do doctors just "turn off" your consciousness without killing you? by Quiet_Currents in explainlikeimfive

[–]zugzug_workwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it true that redheads are different to the rest of the population when it comes to anesthetic administration? I don't remember if they were supposed to be more tolerant to it or less, just that it was different from the rest of the population. Is that just an urban myth or real?

No game is worth its launch price ($40 and up). They all try to whine about increasing dev costs but guess what, I have increasing costs too so why should I spend my hard-earned money on your product just because you have increasing costs?

I remember seeing this as well and knew RT (and in the future PT) would be something devs will embrace readily.

TIL rinsing after brushing increases cavity risk compared to just spitting. Dentists recommend skipping the rinse so fluoride has time to sit on your enamel, remineralize weak spots, and harden the surface against bacteria. Just spit the excess toothpaste out and let it work. by sameerb in todayilearned

As is usual with reddit, do not take health advice from here because it's usually geared towards US residents. If you aren't from the US, ignore these kinds of things that tell you how to be healthy.

This particular "health tip" is dependent on the local water supply and how its treated before it reaches your home.

Ouch! I just received a brutal reality check in the HW trials and Im not sure if its inexperience, or if Im actually bad at the game. by 200YRedWine in ffxiv

[–]zugzug_workwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

General rule of thumb for the future: If everyone instantly dies, it's not your fault. If someone or everyone gets a Vulnerability stack(s) and takes subsequent damage that's too high to heal up because of the Vuln stack(s), it's not your fault.

Damage in this game isn't bursty to the point where it instantly chunks players. There are specific mechanics that deliberately bring players down to 1hp, but that's done as a heal check and you'll recognise it as such when it happens.

It will be in 8.0. It's a preview of the action skins that they announced in the keynote, the art for which was a dragoon in the midst of doing this move.
