Twenty bucks American gets you one of the best RPG stories of the last five years along with rad turn-based tactical combat.

I guess Wasteland 2 comes out today as well? I'm curious to hear what it's like from bros who are playing it.

Video games! Sometimes they're actually kind of awesome.

    @Feral What do you know about using Memantine in conjunction with Amphetamines?

    Memantine is apparently an NMDA receptor antagonist that was approved for treating Alzheimers but many have found that it helps take the edge off of Adderall and significantly reduces the rate at which you become tolerant to Amphetamines.

    I'm visiting my new psych for the first time tomorrow and I'm considering asking to get put on it in addition to my Adderall RX.

    they shouldn't, unless someone told geth to "stand down", which cancels all active geth features, including the recycle

    I don't remember if I had scheduled a recycle or not but oh well, I totally wanted to make a chat for this game anyway.

    The default Shadowrun campaign is less a solid thing and more a showcase of what the engine can do - it shoeboxes you into doing certain things at points because the game needs you to see all the options available, not just the ones on your character build's pathway

    Dragonfall improves on this immensely

    What's the movie where a guy is talking tough before he flicks a lit cigarette into another guy's eye before he starts beating him? I think Johnny Depp was in it.

    EDIT: And the other guy was holding a gun or a weapon on the first guy.

    the base campaign gets more interesting in the last third but a combination of tech limitations (they didn't have the programming in place to do more complicated, non-linear savegame states yet) and the fact that it's largely an intro to the setting and a demonstration of the mission toolkit kind of muffle it as a story

    I enjoyed it because the story's not bad, just very linear, but the expansion/sequel is a vast improvement in every respect - it's considerably freer, although in a Bioware sense, not an "open world" sense; there's more to do, generally, and you get a party to interact with and they're all really well-done, interesting people. I think I got about as invested as it's possible to get in characters who aren't voiced or animated but are basically little portrait icons and blocks of dialogue text.

    I have a hard time thinking of a game expansion or sequel that was this vast of an improvement on the original.

    @winky I know literally nothing about this but this looks like a fascinating thing for me to read up on tonight.

    So NPR today did a story on a small study that shows how artificial sweeteners cause the body to develop insulin resistance anyway. They think it's something to do with the microbiome being thrown off in your gut.
