Dude fuck, at least the dota scene is not infested with actual pehophiles like Smash.

Yeah, Tobi is a creep, Redeye a workplace bully, and Grant a bad drunk and a creep.

That's pretty mild all things considered, actually.

Sure, but change your steam name to CherryBlossom, your avatar to an anime girl, your name on steam to Sally, and a voice changer and simply say "hi" on mic at the start of every game and your general opinion might change a bit

What's gonna happen? People will say the lowest-hanging-fruit sexist jokes at your expanse. What else? I don't see where you're going with this.

I never used voice when I played dota, so if I were a girl, my experience playing the game would be literally identical. Pretty sure you can get by just fine without ever using voice chat in pubs, its not a limiting factor at all.

Speaking of PoE2 gameplay it reminds me of that upcoming Baldurs Gate 3 that i'm hella excited for.

Anybody played pillars of eternity 2 ? I brought it out of whim(saw it on steamsale) cause it seems like something like nwn, icewindale or baldurs gate

am i wrong ?


I found it to be a lot of fun. The combat system is very much in the style of the old infinity engine games, so if you liked that part of BG2 you'll feel at home. I think a lot of people didn't like the setting, but I actually loved the fantasy carribean/polynesia mix, meeting and dealing with pirates, traders, local tribes and sunken ruins, and I especially found interesting how every faction you can side with is morally egregious in its own way. The story itself ... well, it's good, but not as good as the setting. It's not poorly written, but there kind of lacks a sense of urgency to it. In BG2 you can spend as much time as you want mucking about after Imoen has been taken, but in the first playthrough I felt compelled to go to the island as soon as possible, and I didn't feel this urgency in PoE2, which isn't bad because the side content is so good.


That's good to hear ! I really like the gameplay and it alooooooooooot more visually comprehensible than Baldurs Gate 2. Gosh that was a headache to play.

Like the UI is better in so many ways.

Poe2 is pretty dang good. The dlc content is a lot more gripping in terms of story than the main game imo. The death cultists you meet in the "beast of winter" dlc are very fun lol


That's good to hear.

I didn't go single class by the way. Multiclass ftw i don't care if it makes the game harder. I have been playing yesterday for a bit. It was alright. Idk how much time passing matters in this game but i haven't been careful and since i haven't played PoE1 so i have no clue if the previous game choices i chose was good on character creation (i went benevolent soul and a slave to one of the gods).

I feel like i have to play poe1 but i don't wanna play that game cause it doesn't have turn-based mode which i just really wanna chill while playing (the main selling point why i just brought poe2 instead of 1 was because of it could be purely turnbased lol)

There is a significant difference between electing to forfeit voice chat and being forced to forego it by virtue of otherwise being exposed to a toxic environment.

I was never a big reckful fan, but he's been around for so long it's kind of hard to not feel a little sad. I did enjoy his Japan streams a lot.

Also unless I'm thinking of someone else I believe his brother also committed suicide. I feel really bad for his parents

its a more inter personal scene than most other games due to the nature of the competition and makeup of the community.
