Question for people who have used the NZ region change thing on Xbox to play other games before their local release time: do I need to download the game again under the NZ region for the unlock to work?

SHAMEFUL PAGE SNIPE edit: the NZ region change thing will not matter for this release, ignore me I am dumb!

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I just watched a combat sequence of decent duration, part played on Hard, and part played on Normal. It was the Maelstrom base so it wasn't a big spoiler for me

It took CDPR three games to make a Witcher title where you could say "eh the combat is alright, I guess," so I was expecting them to get the balance/feel wrong. They've never done an FPS before. Hopefully CDPR or some intrepid modders can tweak the numbers and make something with a better feel in six months or a year.

How did the AI seem? Responsive? Braindead? And for the stealth, do you know if the player had any points invested in stealth skills?

I mean i a pretty loving progressive and spend way to much time on DnD/sometimes cspam and i am sure most of them dislike me being boring Soc dem or whatever but weird poo poo shows like resetera give progressives a bad name, it takes the worst parts of idpol left and CWO left and just rots in them.

Honestly one of the best things to come out of this election is the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania ethos of “gently caress around and Find Out” going worldwide. Also that our Blessed lieutenant governor looks like he is provides security for a chop shop and will kill you. We’re not gonna argue about Twitter we’re gonna throw snowballs and batteries at you and gently caress with you 24/7. Also let me endorse of this Pinot Grigio called Fish Eye. I mean it may be total poo poo but it serves a purpose.

But real talk someone like John Fetterman is the best hope we have for this nation. No one can convey the ideals of say a Bernie Sanders better the Johnny Silverhand Fetterman and reach people Bernie could never even get five minutes with.

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So if my wife and I both wanted to share a copy of this game but play it simultaneously on each of our PCs, which is the best purchase option?

I mean, I know we can do Steam family share, though that requires the "host" computer to go into Steam Offline mode to play while the guest is also playing it. Is this our best option?

Nobody in real life cares the slightest bit about any of this, but that doesn't mean resetera isn't extremely bad and aggravating.

I really like that because I hate it when NPCs are player-sexual. It makes it feel like they don't have defined identities and I want the characters I interact with in a game to feel like people, not gratification machines that reward me when I dump in enough resources.

But here's hoping for some quality meltdowns over it.

GOG is definitely better for that use case. You can even download offline installers through GOG, and there's no restrictions like needing guest or host computers.

Hell yeah! Gritty ride or die! Seriously I can say as someone who is Jewish I prefer him to a Josh Shapiro. I truly believe John “ universal WWE Champion” Fetterman can speak to voters earnestly and honestly unlike anyone else in the Democratic Party in the state or nationwide.

Also I like evil guns like a Center of the State dork (I swear it’s mostly from the movie Commando)...so you know hedge my bets.

Apologies to everyone for the diversionary discussions, I look forward to all of us being able to have our beautiful cyber dongs or cyber vags in a few days. L’Chayim!

Thanks I should have said that I meant how it looked after being converted to B&W and if it’s tolerable vs getting a tablet. That said I might just use my laptop I keep next to my work one to read it during the day. It’s something I keep wanting to get, but I always change my mind. I’m still surprised E Ink color hasn’t happened as I feel like it’s been near a decade since I first heard about it being in development.

I’m just interested in how something like the world of cyber punk we convert from color to black and white. So I appreciate and info you have on it.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia


also here's a stupid take
---------------------------->
Full disclosure: I never played the Witcher 3. I have however played Witcher 2, or at least the few hours of it before I had to turn it off because I hated it.

Ironically the thing that I hated about it the most was the fact that Witcher 2's narrative seemed to be trying way too hard to appeal to 21st century edgelords and the narrative being "dark" simply meant that everyone said swears all the time and there was odd heavy metal music playing constantly.

Funnily enough, this is actually one of the reasons I'm looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077; because all those things I hated about Witcher 2 for being, in my opinion, a poor fit for a fantasy setting are in fact assets in a Cyberpunk setting

Anyway this is my post about the video games from poland

2 is good but super clunky. 3 is great but clunky at times too and kinda bloated.

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
Thread reopened. In light of recent events we'll be reviewing recent bans issued in Cyberpunk threads, and changing how we vet members who handle controversial OTs in the future.

To address the elephant in the room, yes, we were fooled by Black Chamber. When staff reached out to him with concerns about Cyberpunk 2077 we expected confrontation, but in every conversation he was more cooperative than we had have hoped for. He put on a very good impression of a well-meaning idiot. The recurring accusations against him were that he was a shill; to our knowledge nobody had ever suggested he was a Trumper. I can't understate how devastating it is to learn the truth.

If you suspect that another member might be a troll or a Trumper please raise the concern through a report, a ticket, or a private message. If you have proof, we absolutely want to see it.

OK so your first problem is that the game PDFs are mostly larger than 50Mb which was the limit that the error in the "Send to Kindle" app threw at me. You could get around this by breaking the PDFs into parts I suppose.

I uploaded a copy of the pre-gen characters for the RED jumpstart kit. Here's what it looks like on an Oasis.




The text is pretty small and this is the larger of the Kindle screens. The paperwhite is 6" this is 7". There's no ability to zoom in as far as I can tell. It just displays the PDF as laid out. So it all depends on how much you like reading small type.

From what I've seen, Xbox release is treated like the PC version and the time listed on the xbox store is correct. PS4/5 users have to wait until midnight local time.

If you are on an iPad you can view the pdf in safari and then send it to iBooks or the kindle app. It’s then uploaded to the cloud.

PDF's look pretty bad on a Kindle, imo. But if you want to convert PDF's to Kindle format (or any other format), and Amazon isn't playing ball, you can just use https://cloudconvert.com/. I use it all the time. It's great.

Edit: It won't convert anything if the file has DRM on it though :rolleyes:
