Or catches it! It could happen!!

The spoiler things are in the little toolbar over the top of your posts as you are typing. The one with B, then I, then some lines and a down-triangle, then 3 vertical dots. Click the dots and a submenu shows up. On the right side of that submenu is a little mask. That will make "inline"...

BREAKTHROUGH!! 1. Yeah, I was too far when doing my backstabs. You have to get close enough to make the animation weird, with your nose almost touching the enemy. 2. When using a spear, you can attack while still holding up your shield! (Or you can equip a second spear and flail away. Or...

Not quite. You have to rest at the one by the first merchant AND you have to do it at night! I'm definitely keeping guides handy on this one. No quest log can hurt. Other things I'm learning: Target lock is a must, at least against normal-sized enemies. It can be a bother against groups...

Works through his birthday just so he'll have time to donate his services as a beta tester! What a guy! ;)

Salesman: Hey, does our software do this? Me: No. (a few hours pass) Boss: We need to put this into the software. Me: That doesn't even make sense. Boss: We already sold the software based on that feature, we've got to put something in that's at least close. Me: How about we put the...

There's a lot of talk on the Elden Ring forums about hackers mangling peoples' saves. They pop in and teleport the person underground, or into an DLC area (which means infinite loading if you don't own the DLC). Some will somehow cause every major boss to get killed off, so you won't get any...

YIPE! They took away the multiple choice! Got 9/13 and got hints on all but one of them.

My phone outright died today. It has charge, but it had turned off and ignored the power button. I plugged it in for 45 minutes just in case the charge somehow drained away, but it didn't help. Then I found out about the down-volume + power trick for Androids. That boots them up into some...

OK, I'm tired of finding excuses to not play BG3. Next game. Something to punish me for not finishing BG3. View: https://youtu.be/CzUFmzgkzw4 No clue what I'm doing! I've died a few times (twice in the tutorial) but the death penalties, at least at this point, are trivial. I'm trying to...

Tetris inventory, where you have to figure out how to fit everything! Games quickly put an auto-sort on those. I remember them being common 20 years back, but they seem pretty rare now. Bag of holding? Pah! Portable holes are better. In our campaign back in the`80's, I had a portable...

That dragon looks skinny. Have you been giving it enough cookies?? ;) I did Azata, too. I needed those superpowers! Had a literal halo over my head, too. Well, most of the time... Ooof, it's hard to remember those. I remember not having many armies and I remember that some troops were...

So, she'll be playing Where in Pangaea is Carmen Sandiego? ;)

I don't know - DMoM&M had lots of cliffs, lots of spikes on walls, and lots of campfires with really flammable enemies. I almost wishlisted, but I think I'll wait for the reviews.

That's not easy. Sometimes it can be - if a game requires 8GB of VRAM and you've got 6GB, then it won't play. However, most of the time the system specs don't say exactly what is needed. (Do you need such-and-such CPU because of the number of threads, the overall speed, the size of the...
