I’ve been using a druid of the Moon. I like the versatility. Cast buff or debuff spells, roll into wildshape, smack stuff around, unshape, cast again. I love talking to animals and finding out things I may not have known. Too far to jump? No problem -> spider form. Want to scout ahead? No problem -> cat form. So many fun things to try out with the various forms. I have been out of town for a few days and have not gotten to play much but watched a video last night of all the druid wildshapes to come in higher levels and I am STOKED!!!
Meanwhile, my husband has been playing a bard, another versatile character and he seems to really be enjoying it.

I and don’t think these are all such communities
I feel the same. What does it even mean to finish a game anymore? There are so many things to explore, so many tiny tasks to accomplish. Did you have fun while you were playing? Do you want to start playing something else? Sounds like you finished the game.
That’s how I think about it anyway.
What keeps them engaged with Destiny 2 despite its apparent lack of a clear path forward?
There is no alternative. The First Descendant is p2w. Once Human has different structure and resets your progress every season. Warframe is pretty different and similar to First Descendant. Overwatch basically cancelled its pve. Darktide is clunky.
And none of these games have the polish and shooting satisfaction that Destiny has. If people want a pve game, with long term progression that has enjoyable shooting, Destiny is all there is. What keeps them playing? Copium.
Slowly but steadily Destiny will die. And thats when Marathon will come out. But Marathon is very different, so i am not even so sure that most Destiny players will migrate to that.
I am not even playing Destiny. Destiny is the game that i want to love so much but always shits on me, so i gave up. It seems to me that the easiest thing in the world, is to keep Destiny going and address its minor issues. But somehow Bungie doesnt think so.
Level… 36?
What game are you playing?
On what are you playing? OG consoles need a memory card to save to. Sorry if this is known to you but more information is needed to diagnose. (I looove the spyro trilogy, both the original from back in the day, and the remake)
A lot of your questions depend on what game you’re playing. The first question I would ask is, what genre are you interested in playing? D&D is the biggest out there right now and it’s medieval fantasy-ish but it has a lot of it’s own baggage mixed in. There’s a free version of the rules you can download, feel free to do that and give it a quick read through just to get a feel for the tone.
Finding a group to play with is tricky. The best thing might be to get some friends together and all try the game together. Barring that, local game stores might help you find a group, or some places in the Internet have “Looking for Group” (LFG) communities.
You don’t need to buy dice just yet. Some TTRPGs use weird dice shapes and not all use the same dice so it’s best to decide on a game before spending money on it. If you want to try a game before getting dice you can always use a dice rolling app. If it’s D&D you want to play then feel free to find a standard set of seven polyhedral dice. They’re not too expensive and collecting pretty dice is a hobby into itself.
How a game is played depends on which game you’re playing. With actual D&D it depends whether you’re in a combat scenario or not. If you aren’t the rules are a lot looser: the DM describes a scene, then you and the other players tell the DM what your characters would like to do. The DM will determine if dice need to be rolled or if an outcome isn’t possible, and repeat. Combat is a lot more complex, you have a specific turn order and a much smaller selection of actions based on your character build.
On a larger scale, a bunch o adventures strung together is what makes a campaign. Most groups play this way, but especially if you’re new finding (or starting!) a group running a one-shot is a good way to learn how to play. A single adventure you can complete in a single session is great for learning and the story stakes are much lower.
Roleplaying looks different depending on the group you’re with and what you’re comfortable with. I usually speak in third person at all times, no funny voices or anything like that. I have a friend who comes up with a voice for every character to use when speaking for said character in first person.
That was a pretty big info dump but let me know if I can answer specific questions. I’ve been playing TTRPGs for nearly 20 years and I’ve dipped my toes into a lot of different games so if I can help I will.
What was the incident?
The incident is what shaped them into the adults they are now, it’s why they ended up in their chosen professions and is what brings them together at the 20 year high school reunion coming up, but they must never speak of it.
What did the rat pac play in the street? Music? Baseball?
They hustled marbles for cash in the street to anyone willing to lose to them, they ran that rural suburban street untill the incident changed everything.
What video games were you guys playing? Nintendo, Sega, Atari, Sony, SNK, NEC, 3DO?? Whose house?
NBA Jam on the Sega Mega drive, because they were the cool kids and that’s how you showed it in the early 90s
Were there any leads in Jakes death?
The policed ruled it ‘natural causes’ but the rat Pac know it was Him that killed Jake after they unintentionally released Him.
Were there any leads in Jakes death?
About 3 hours before that line of text.

I’ve been playing the demo on steam of Tactical Breach Wizards. A turn based strategy game from the guy who did Heat Signature, where you play a few magical wizards uncovering a conspiracy, with assault wands. It’s to be released in August. I am actually a little hyped lol
What are you playing?
I’m on my 5th cuppa 👀
I think a recurring “What Are You Currently Playing?” thread could be a fun conversation.
What does
glxinfo | grep -iE '(vendor|device)'output? Will tell you if your graphics card is being detected. Also could you share a linux hardware probe? That will tell us exactly what linux is detecting and might help.Also, is that the only game you’re playing? Do other games have worse performance than in windows?
I like that, what are you normally playing?
First of all, what version are you playing? Shattered, yapd, vanilla, something else? Many of the comments seem to assume you play shattered.
That sounds fun. We always play theatre of the mind with maybe some simple maps if there’s a lot going on.
I’m currently running a game of Spire the City must fall. Not been playing it long but already loving the characters my players have made. It’s a really dense setting so I’m running a module and keeping them mostly in a couple areas of the city to make things easier for me. The system is pretty interesting though I’d recommend it.
What are you playing? I hope it goes well.
My guy that is the best weekend to have. What games are you going to be playing? My partner and I are replaying DoS2 and I’m attempting to get into Dwarf Fortress (Steam version) although it’s proving rather challenging to say the least.
Have a fantastic weekend and remember to take it easy!
What games are you playing?
What games on your backlog are you excited about getting to/have been enjoying playing? I mean honestly I am more interested in that then what new games people buy lol
Yes, 100%. For instance, my Pixel Watch measures and logs my heart rate every second. Though I doubt that something as volatile as a user’s heart rate has any significant value to advertisers, over the treasure trove of other, more reliable data points they already have collected on any given user.
People act like every single facet of their lives has some intrinsic advertising value, when really it’s only specific things that advertisers are interested in. They want to know your habits; what sites you go to, what physical spaces you frequently visit, what sort of content you consume, what you spend your money on, etc. Those are metrics that advertisers can capitalize on to make sure that they’re serving you ads that you’re more likely to engage with.
Biometric data, on the other hand, is basically worthless. Even if we pretend that Google is using my heart rate data from my Fitbit profile for advertisements, that data gives Google basically nothing to work with. Did my heart rate fluctuate because of an ad I saw? Or did it fluctuate because I stood up and walked to the kitchen while a YouTube ad was playing? There’s no easy way to discern this sort of nuance, making it effectively useless for advertising purposes.
Maybe if we lived in a more cyberpunk world where advertisers could access things like our serotonin or dopamine levels, and could link that directly to things we’re actively seeing/hearing, that would be worthwhile to advertisers, because then they could actually know how something you interacted with affected your brain chemistry. But as it stands right now, heart rate by itself is little more than junk data.
