    Well now, hello to everyone. I guess we're all a bit older and wiser by now. Nice to see so many familiar faces around here, I'll have to read upon what everyone did (went only through the 1st page).

    What's new for me:
    Just recently I got my first kid born (boy). Yeey to sleepless nights.
    Changed jobs (not so interesting). Although I did changed my scope of work somehow. Moved into operations on large infrastructures for a (relatively) big company (one of their pieces is on this forum as well).
    Moved to PS4 for casual gaming. Skyrim, The Witcher and the likes kept me busy from time to time. Never managed to replay some Gothic sadly. What's even more sadly is that I never even tried the latest Risen games.
    From time to time I got some PM's asking about WoG-eng and everytime I kind of replied the same thing (try Risen or the german part). I did had some thoughts of trying to reopen it, at least for the OT part but ... well, it just didn't happen.

    Will try to stick around and see what's happening.

    PS: Who's running the english version of the website this time? Oh nevermind, seems I still have some internal access and see Maladiq talking about it in it Good luck mate.
    PS2: Oh yeah, I'm excited about Elex from the first bits of info which surfaced around here. Hoping to see it become as good as the Gothic games.

    Welcome back, wanderer! Grab a beer and sit down, have a nice chat with us!

    Congratulations on the baby! What is his name? Do share some pics with us! Is it hard being a parent? At least now you can exchange parenting advice with Hellbilly.

    Have you at least tried Risen 1? Best one in the series I would say.

    Yes, the forum activity is much lower, that is why I created the Facebook page and YouTube channel, both titled World of Piranha Bytes. We try to attract members that way.

    Thanks for the kind wishes! Webmastering, admining, moderating and planning stuff is not that easy. Too bad we don't have the large, tight community we once had. At least no more spam attacks from those who shall not be named? That has to be a plus

    Well, keep an eye out, we have all the latest news and bits, and check our youtube videos for original content and commentary.

    With 5.5 years of experience, I have this to say: it helps if you have a well-stocked liquor cabinet. Come to think of it, that helps for almost any problem you might experience except for alcoholism, and it helps for that too in the sense that it's easier to ignore such distasteful thoughts when drunk.

    Mihai and I'm trying to keep him off the social media wagon until he's old enough to choose what appears online
    Hard? I wouldn't say so. Actually it's hard to describe in a single adjective the first period with a new baby. It's not hard, just difficult?

    Risen 1 yes but that's what I mean by recent Risen games (I think 2 and 3). I really enjoyed 1, gave 2 a small chance but didn't managed to get hooked on it and 3 I never even installed it.

    Dunno, I just went drinking tonight, and I am even more depressed than I was before drinking. I guess drinking alone, or drinking with people who make you feel alone, doesn't help too much. At least in my case.

    The trick to it is to never stop drinking. That way depression doesn't kick in.
    Also helps with post drinking illness and general hangover. Why try meds, jogging, juices or all that other crap that just makes you throw up? Pick up the bottle again and it takes away all your pain.

    In reality (and I don't want to sound like an old fart but it's the truth) this is a young man's game. I wouldn't have the stomach to do this anymore.

    PS: Meh, daddy instincts kick in, drink responsible from the beginning

    Hmm, just a quick question for you guys. How come nobody seems to want to discuss Elex?

    I'm older than you (IIRC), and I ain't got no problem. Well, not quite true: people have told me lately that my problem is I drink too much. Also, in truth, alcohol actually causes depression more than it prevents it; the effect of alcohol is basically the opposite of SSRI medicines.

    Honestly, a few previews and such don't inspire me to discuss it that much. I check them out, but there's nothing much there to inspire a lot of talk. I'm waiting for the game to come out and actual in-game footage, and playing the game of course.

    Meh, I guess that just shows how much a publisher's policies and demands can affect the relationship between a developer and their communities.

    Also, lay off the drinking, you can't deprive your son of the pleasure of torturing you as a teenager

    There's hardly anything to go off. A few photos of the exterior of a car don't give too much information to the buyer. Maybe when we get a look under the hood and take it for a spin there'd be more to talk about.

    Ok, so I am getting reaaaaly old. What I discovered after one year of owning a new laptop, with an AMD GPU, is that it is not enough to install the driver (like the good old days), you have to access some obscure settings in the driver and tell it to use the goddamn Radeon GPU when playing games, not the default Intel Graphics.

    Also, I finally cracked and updated to Windows 10. Love it. It is ugly as sin, but incredibly fast.

    Back when I was a kid, our games came on cassette tapes and took 30-45 minutes to load...

    I went ahead and installed Win10 as well. Didn't see a major performance increase (or decrease), but the menu is nicer. I guess that's pretty much all of the major changes I've noticed so far, ha.

    Drinking relaxes me. Especially when I'm alone. Two 50 ml shots is the optimal amount for me. Anything more than 100 ml, maybe 150 if I feel like shit, is suboptimal.
    Getting drunk is something I have lost the desire for. Maybe because I'm no longer 20 or maybe because I don't see the point in it anymore.
    Is it just me or does that sound waay too little?
    When I drink I go for heavy stuff like Vodka with Lemonade/Redbull (50/50), or scotch with cola (again 50/50) lately I was going for driving lessons (been driving for years but without a License) and we got friendly with my teacher, after every session we sat down and drunk since it was always late at night due to my working schedule. That little habbit actually got me hooked and now I have a bottle of Vodka and Lemonade next to my PC the entire time, I drink cause I enjoy it though not to drawn any problems of any sort, thankfully almost all my problems got away when I found the job I currently have which made me realise that the only reason I ever felt down was the lack of cash in my pockets.

    P.S.

    A forum template bug. Should be fixed soon. If you dislike it with a passion, set your gender as undisclosed in your profile.

    I hope the magic will be good in Elex. I haven't seen any improvement regarding the melee fighting, and the fire weapons I suspect to behave at least weird. The jetpack will be abused by so many, for sure. Will we get any crafting and alike? Will we have something else to do in the game beside fighting and doing this and that for some NPC?

    Getting drunk has become more a philosophical thing for me.

    Windows10 seems nice overall, a couple of extra menus that you really shouldn't need to be there, Cortana and her snoopy-as-fuck terms of service which made me go "nope" the moment I saw it. Only issue is that the laptop hangs for like 2 mins during the boot section and it seems like it's not really loading. Then, after a metaphorical pinch it actually picks up, screen goes black and comes on again, you start hearing the whizz of the HDD LED, the occasional slowdown of that spinning circle of circles - this whole new segment getting it over with in a reasonable amount of time. Then it's all fine from that point. Beats me if I can explain that initial comatose.

    Try to moderate my drinking as much as I can. Got one more year in uni so I need to pull through. Lately though I find that unpleasant memories found a way to sneak back into the conscious part of the brain, where they're not welcome. Used to be easy to forget, but now it's alcohol that takes the edge off. I'm still young by modern demographic standards, as are most of you guys, but I can see those traits I used to associate with the "parents" generation starting to creep in.
