Empyrion has some fun building stuff but the missions are terrible, especially anything involved first person - enemies with instant hitscan weapons that simply eat your health (no dodging or taking cover, popup and shoot barely works), infinite respawns which make dying and backtracking the only real viable tactics. I was on a replay and once I got to a certain infected capital ship mission I decided to just ignore the main story missions. Still feels a bit of a slog trying to find the mats to make a decent ship with shields to avoid losing blocks all the time.

Interesting is how little Haley reacts to getting crotch-kicked by Serini. It generally works just as well on women as it does men, in that it friggin' hurts.

Remember this is just an unarmed strike from a halfling. Even if it was a crit, it would be 2d2+Dex Mod. If Serini has 20 Dex, that would still be only 7 to 9 damage.

You don't add Dex to damage in that edition, not even with Weapon Finesse.

I do a mixture, I make a main "peaceful" base where I won't do any big mining or Hardmode, then make another world where I plan to do a full playthrough, dig as needed, but end up making a full base anyway just because I need the tier-appropriate NPCs to spawn. I don't do a LOT of random tunneling for ores in this one, just enough to get me to next tier. Then I make throwaway worlds as needed, to supplement the mining and dirt and stone collection, or spawning chests etc.

EDIT: Oh, I also sometimes make a separate "vault" map in case I plan to do multiplayer at all and want to share my main base, so they don't steal my crap. This one is less for looks and probably looks more like a giant storage yard.

Been playing Breath of the Wild on my PC, with flawless emulation and even mouse aim.

That game can be fun but also brutal.

Dagoth's strength was enough to kill me in two good hits - and could blast through my health regen. After I cheesed most of the enemies to fall off the edge by flying around them and after I hit the Heart, I drank all my strength potions and shattered my sword on Dagoth Ur killing him in one shot. Boy, what a great game Morrowind is.

That reminds me, when I beat Morrowind, I never got the chance to fight the BBEG, as he ran towards me and then somehow jumped into the lava.

I just started playing a week ago on a PVE server called Severed Realms.

It was near the top of the list when I sorted by number of players, but I think it usually has less than 10 players online.

Everyone starts at around 20 skill and gain is 5x, gets a maintenance-free deed, and it has some QoL mods. It's been fun so far.

They seem to have moved the assets to a more modern engine. The text seems high res now, but of course all the pixel art is the same and looks weird scaled up.

So...

Star Trek cartoon show.

Thoughts?
