    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Has anyone played crisis core reunion and can report on how good it is/isn't? The game play videos I've seen make it look very similar to FF7R which I loved. I know nothing about the original crisis core.

    Path of Exile

    No those are pretty much all really low tier mods / rolls. The +1 to level of all skill gems is worth a few c, but apart from that its pretty garbage. Cannibalistic Rite is niche as well I think.

    Forspoken

    I enjoyed the actual gameplay of the demo but yeah I found both the protagonist and the talking wristband to be pretty cringe.

    Path of Exile

    Does that work? I thought I remembered reading that it didn't.

    Path of Exile

    I'm going to league start the new volcanic fissure skill via totems. I might be in for a bad time but fuck it.

    Stellaris

    I think of it more as them trying to change the meta so it doesn't get stale. I enjoy coming back to the game every year and finding things changed.

    Satisfactory

    I've started playing Satisfactory multiplayer recently. It's fun to work with others and see other people's build styles in game. I'm scaling up fuel production and building a computer factory while someone else is somewhere else working on a new motor and heavy frame factory.

    The Witcher

    Umbrella Academy, S3 was better than S2. All of us are Dead

    Andor

    The way the tension just slowly built throughout the episode was pure art. Probably my #2 show of the year behind Severance. Absolutely wonderful television!

    Stellaris

    I haven't played stellaris in quite a while but last time I did my usual strategy against FE was large ships at range. Artillery Battleships and support capital ships to give more range (ie Juggernaut with the range aura). Torp corvette swarm could also work if you don't have enough firepower...

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    This is a great little game, I'm enjoying the randomness.. Like someone else said, there's no standard build order because objectives each map are so random and different. Because I'm still learning things I've made stupid mistakes like picking orders that are impossible to complete several times.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    So I guess the 7 and 9 rings are not even going to exist in this show, unless Sauron is going to do it himself? Odd since the closing of the show was a song about the 7,9,3 & 1 rings.

    K-PoP SenSation

    On holiday in the US, NY specifically. Wife suggests we go out and see some live music. I say sure. She shows me a list of gigs for tonight. I look at it, don't recognise any of them, tell her to book whatever she wants that's suitable for the kids as well. She books the cheapest one on the...

    Washington D.C.

    Thanks I'll see if I can arrange that. Is there anywhere in the capital riverfront area of DC where there's decent concentration of retail shops like clothing etc? Area has heaps of food but little retail that I can find.

    Washington D.C.

    So far we've hit Jamaican in NJ, El Salvadoran in Gaithersburg, done the crabcakes and Ethiopian in DC. Been keeping an eye out for the pupusas but haven't seen them so far, all the food trucks seem the same, either bubble tea or a mix of Mexican and deep fried stuff. Pick of the litter so far...

    Washington D.C.

    Thanks, I've never heard of pupusas but they look good. Looks pretty similar to pide you can get from lebanese places over here. I will definitely try that if I find some!

    Washington D.C.

    The family & I are going to DC (&NY) for the next 3 weeks. Looking for good food recommendations, especially non Asian since I can get plenty of that here in AU. Specifically where is the best Mexican in DC? I love super strong flavours (Indian is my favourite) and good Mexican restaurants...

    House of the Dragon

    I think I read that not only is it canon, but that the targaryens from GoT are descendents of that particular incestuous couple. Could be fanfic though.

    Farthest Frontier

    It's definitely playable but i think it will be a much better game in 6-12 months

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Bit defensive aren't you? I'm not giving anyone shade for noticing it. I obviously noticed it myself. If anything I'm giving the creators of the show shade for their half arsed effort at diversity. Either do it properly, or dont do it, the tokenism is laughable. What I also said is that the...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I mean it's obviously other reasons. There's one token black dwarf in a sea of whites, one token black elf in a sea of whites, one token black human in a sea of whites, and two(!) token black harfoots in a sea of whites. Zero asians that I've noticed. 100% obvious tokenism. Thing is that I'm not...

    Elder Scrolls VI

    My memory of this (which is pretty iffy since it was quite a while ago) - Bethesda pressured Obsidian to release the game when it wasn't finished so they had to cut a lot of QA which is a contributing factor to why it was so buggy (although Obsidian games are generally pretty buggy). A large...

    Path of Exile

    Is metamorph overtuned? I find them almost impossible to kill, they take me over a minute to burn down. Found a few with regeneration and I couldn't even move their HP bar.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Show is not bad at all, way better than I was expecting. I'm on board, lets goo!

    Untitled Horizon Zero Dawn Series

    All of the combat will be 1 shot stealth sharpshot bow arrows through the eyeball kills to save on CGI.

    Samaritan (2022)

    I wanted to like it but it's just not very good. The plot is extremely simple, the twist is both obvious and pointless, the action was slow and had no stakes. Want a simple action movie, watch extraction which is 1000% more exciting than this.

    Farthest Frontier

    A lot of good stuff here -> State of Early Access - update 1 So I'm up to tier 3 and some things I've done/worked out with regards to the issues people have been having. 1) gold income. You can make a decent amount of gold income by spamming a bunch of markets around which is also a good idea...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I thought the kugane part of stormblood was good. Helped greatly by the compelling psycho bitch of a villain and also old man samurai. The villain of the ala migho part sucks and that's why that half of the xpac sucks.

    Farthest Frontier

    This game is basically surviving the aftermath. Main issue I'm having is having to go extremely far from home in search of stone. Also have some issue where regularly the clearing tasks to remove shrubs from building sites never get done and so the building doesn't get built.

    The Sandman

    Enjoyable enough show. An interesting story well told I thought. The diner episode was probably my favorite, it was delivering a strong message - telegraphed somewhat by the previous (Lucifer) episode.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    That's why they wasted all of that time after launch implementing that space where you stand around in your suit. Not the city, some other instanced area, I forget what it was called. You could launch missions from there and some other stuff but it was really half arsed/rushed. And they wasted...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I would say it was mostly ruined by management trying to turn it into a microtransaction cash cow. I remember reading a post mortem on Anthem and towards the end there was a lot of management pressure towards creating spaces in the game where players could stand around and see other players so...

    Paper Girls

    This show is fairly watchable IMO, the premise is interesting and it's not too long. I like the tomboy and the adult version of the black chick is well written and portrayed IMO. Kid black girl is annoying as fuck and Asian girl may as well not be in it, she's a blank wall. It very "diverse"...

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    Was that trailer directed by Zach Snyder? Just a whole bunch of scenes with zero context, have no idea what's happening or what it's about.

    Gold Box Classics

    Awesome games back in the day. Spent a good chunk of the 90s playing through those. Apart from the ravenloft and unlimited adventures I think I owned and finished every game on that list. Amusingly it was a non D&D SSI game (countdown to doomsday) that was the first one I got originally which...

    Single greatest song ever written?

    Something by Led Zeppelin. Maybe black dog, but they have a lot of greats.

    Only Murders in the Building

    Just discovered this show, it's a lot of fun. The cast are excellent and agree it wouldn't work without Martin Short. This last episode with the party game for example was carried by him, I tried to imagine one of the other mains trying to pull of that scene and I don't think it would work. It's...
