    STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ (PS5, XSX, Steam, Epic) - early 2023

    it's both bigger and more of the same, if that makes sense. the main planet is pretty huge, but there are a bunch of small platforming sections (ziplines, wall running, etc) that are pretty enclosed and linear, same as the first game. but there's also big open sections as well, which the first...

    STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ (PS5, XSX, Steam, Epic) - early 2023

    yeah, the nice thing about merrin is that we all generally understand the skillset of jedi/sith but dathomir witches use the force in such undefined ways that she can do all kinds of weird things. i'd be happy with more of her, either her own spin-off or maybe being selectable character if they...

    STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ (PS5, XSX, Steam, Epic) - early 2023

    i'm playing this one on my ps5, but i played the original on my pc. i REALLY miss the mod that changed cal's hair color. i'm enjoying the game but i don't really like dominic monaghan

    No, breakdown said it's retarded that gunn would have anything to do with anything.

    Aquaman 2

    the MCU really screwed up people's perception of what makes a good movie, or at least, what makes a movie worth seeing. shazam! was great and had next to zero connections to the DCEU, but then gunn announces a new direction for DC and all of a sudden no one wants to watch ANY movie from DC...

    STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ (PS5, XSX, Steam, Epic) - early 2023

    There are still ponchos in the game, just much more variety in cosmetics, i.e. Actual outfits, not just poncho palette swaps. I'm assuming some of the things you find besides cosmetics are life and/or force upgrades. I know in the first one you could find extra stimpacks, so probably the same...

    Nothing as a player feels worse than overkilling some super weak creature by like 50 hp. Like, as a rogue critting a sneak attack feels awesome and then when the DM is like, no need to role, he's only got 3 hp... It's this weird sense of completely wasted over-achievement. I created this...

    The Mandalorian

    i liked this season more than most, i COULD nitpick a bunch of stuff, i just enjoyed it for what it's worth. but you are 100% correct on things just not connecting well. like i said in my other post, too many things were just internally inconsistent, the praetorians least of all. they have...

    lol, yeah. i wasn't as upset about it as you, but they even had grogu giggling while he was bouncing around. are we supposed to think the praetorians are a joke or scary? you can't have both

    The Mandalorian

    star wars is science fantasy, star trek is science fiction. the technobabble of star trek is a staple of the genre, whereas with science fantasy, despite it being futuristic (er, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away?) it doesn't, or shouldn't, get bogged down by the technological aspects...

    The Mandalorian

    i was thinking about it during this episode... i wonder if they just were referring to the shadow council as being "the spies." that's a silly answer, but technically they are all working under the radar... /shrug

    he absolutely complained. it's just probably a contract negotiation tactic though. there's a difference between the kind of complaining you make when you want to quit, and the kind of complaining you make when you want a raise.

    Cheated out of my youth

    i don't think emotionally the vast majority of 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to understand all that goes into a sexual relationship. if it's two minors who are the same age, i think it's a bad idea, it's just not illegal. but we're also not just talking about a legal adult sleeping...

    The Mandalorian

    i always took the jetpack thing to be that when they ran out of fuel they had been using their jetpacks all day from training as well as having to travel a pretty far distance. with the assault on mandalore, they came in ready for a fight with full fuel and ammo.

    The Mandalorian

    i don't think any of the episodes sucked. some of them maybe felt disjointed or like they had nothing to do with what was actually going on, but i really feel like they all tied together in the end. and the ending was great. i'd rather have a slow middle that ramped up then an ending that fell...

    Cheated out of my youth

    you wouldn't stop your high school self, because the situation never happened for you to be able to see how differently things would be for you now. there is this false comparison that somehow boys are more resilient to that kind of stuff because of their obsession with sex, as well as the...

    The Mandalorian

    that's already what he's doing. he had complaints because without showing his face he was technically a "voice actor" and being paid as such. he's fighting super hard to take his helmet off just so he can get bumped up to live action actor. it always creates internal problems when actors start...

    The Mandalorian

    I think they changed her character pretty drastically from last season where she was a definite hardass douche. This season she's giving grogu cuddles, saving din from weirdo cyborgs, going on buddy cop episodes where HE plays bad cop. They definitely softened her edge and I think it's because...

    Cheated out of my youth

    the entire point is that legally, minors CAN'T give consent. obviously there's a difference between legality and maturity, but it's a law because it's accepted that they aren't mature enough to fully grasp what they are giving consent to. i'd argue that just because someone is over 18 and...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Yeah. I read an unrelated article talking about how the first ant-man did pretty well with like a $550 million box office or whatever it was. I was like, wait that's about what ant-man 3's box office is but everyone is saying it was a hard flop. So I looked at the budgets and they were saying...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Transporters killing people IS brought up in canon, though. Scotty says this exact thing and ONLY uses them himself in EXTREMELY dire circumstances. The irony, is that he happily transports others but outright refuses to use them himself. The others just handwave him off and call him crazy, but...

    Renfield (2023)

    that was actually the very first movie i ever saw nic cage in. i was young and they kept playing it on some late night cable show and i would watch stuff like that instead of going to bed when i was in high school. i was immediately enamored with the dude. i can't really remember much of...

    Yeah, like I said it's really for new players to the table. You shouldn't need to have to read some safety tools to know whether or not something like that is too much for one of your close friends, but if you're not very close with some of your players for whatever reason, it's good to have...

    i mean, that sounds awful. that's not what i said i agreed with. if you happen to play with someone who never told you they were kidnapped as a child and forced into sex slavery, the table is NOT the place for that person to work through those issues. which is the exact reason why, as a dm, you...
