Game is fine on Xbox Series X and I'm running on the 'pretty' setting, not the 'fast' one. There was one place in an open area with water where the graphics grew noticably sluggish but otherwise it's fine. Quite enjoying the plot so far.

Finally Unicron. What the fuck took them so goddamn long??

It sold $30M in the UK alone for 2022 (the UK tracks such stuff publicly for tax purposes) and Sony has claimed 10M copies have been sold (~2M bundled with PS5). Elden ring sold twice as many, but that was across multiple platforms including PC. Combine the initial sales with whatever they get...

You do get a really nice weapon from that whole side-quest sequence though. I do want to go back and do a New Game+ at some point and use all the weapons I never touched, like the disk thrower. The new mechanic of the elemental temporary enchantments for melee in Burning Shores was something...

The expansion was decent. The new weapon(s) were nice riffs on existing themes and there were some nice new puzzle areas to solve. Sam Witwer gnawed on the scenery in a pleasing way and it managed to give us a slightly different perspective on the whole era leading up to the Faro Plague. By...

I tried to launch it and got the "You're too early!" pop-up, but it then proceeded to download the rest of the files.

The latest Unearthed Arcana has lots of new things. The redesigns for several of the classes feel very Pathfinder-ish : https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/one-dnd/ph-playtest-5

Hmmm its still sitting at 44GB...any way to force it to download the 100+ GB?

The game pre-loads at 42GB .... well shy of its final release size.

Magic: The Gathering Fan Allegedly Set Upon by Pinkertons for Unreleased Cards Free publicity I guess? Seems a touch naive to assume that every link in your supply chain is going to notice that "Magic the Gathering -- March of the Machine: The Aftermath" is different than "Magic the...

Was very nice but also very sad to hear Lance Reddick in the epilogue to the expansion. Its clear that this leads to

What can be fun as a DM is to play the 'long game' with respect to murderhobo development. In my current game the party has mostly been in encounters where the enemy consisted of one challenging entity or a small group of moderately challenging opponents. They have thus optimized their...

Someone posted on Twitter that the post credit should have been Wesley popping in to meet his brother and... yeah that makes a lot of sense. Also Jeri Ryan is 55... good lord. She looks better at 55 than most of the 40 year olds I know.

I live with a huge Evil Dead fan and he saw it a few weeks ago as part of a PR screening and his assessment was that it was 'good, not amazing, but good'. This may not sound like a ringing endorsement but he is not at all shy about ranting on the subject of bad horror flicks and so a modest...

I just came here to share that. I genuinely thought it was some sort of bodycam 'found footage' type independent film maker short.

My God [/spoiler]

I have issues with Mandalorian surnames. Satine Kryze and Bo Katan Kryze are of royal house of clan Kryze. Tarre Vizla forged the darksaber and is the ancestor of Paz Vizla of clan Vizla.

The DLC is now out, but I have completely forgotten how to play the game and thus need to run around like a dipshit for awhile relearning the controls before I kick off the DLC mission. For example I have no idea how the potion pouch works in terms of which ones I'm carrying and/or why I have...

A happy ending?!? I was literally not expecting a happy ending.

There are some serious implications for transporter eugenics introduced in this whole storyline.. I know the 'transporter accident' was overused to the point of being a trope in the franchise as a whole but good grief that whole technology is foundationally creepy as hell.

Most of this is just common sense. In the game I'm running now the BBEG was going to be the mother of one of the characters, and then that player's mom got diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. So with that in mind I pivoted the fuck away from that whole plotline because playing the game...

Why didnt they just do Mr Mind....

Oh yay...more survival crap. I get that its easy to make versus actual content but good lord I am sick of this bilge.

Since they made a point of saying that the Enterprise-F is being decommissioned after Frontier Day what are the chances we get to see the Enterprise-G at the very end of the finale? After all its now 2401 and we know that by 2550 or so the Enterprise-J is engaged against the sphere-builders...

I am very glad they tossed in the line about how ironic it was that Shelby was launching Fleet Mode as that shit was the polar opposite of her whole deal as Borg-expert-001. Juratti / GoodBorg are apparently stuck as gatekeepers in front of the S2 transwarp conduit and will not be showing up in...

What exactly are 7 senior citizens in a now-antique mostly uncrewed starship gonna do? I genuinely have no idea how they intend to resolve all of this.

That we could go from "God this guy is a total asshole" to "WHAT?!?! NOO!!!!" in the space of 9 episodes is really quite remarkable.

There is a demo out now, apparently the one they had at their booth at PAX? Anyway it's a very interesting style of cRPG, more like a point and click adventure game with a ton of atmosphere and story elements. Demo is short, but I'm quite impressed with the world building.

Eh... I'm starting to question given they just sold off and/or cancelled a lot of the upcoming things I was looking forward to (new Batman animated, new Superman animated, etc.). I find myself watching Apple TV waaaay more than HBO Max and that just seems backwards.

It seems to be about a colony of Quen that are in Los Angeles. (Forbidden West is mostly San Fran / East Bay) Plot is likely just what we expected at the end of the game with the missing Gaia aspects. More-of-same gameplay while someone tries to figure out how to make the end of the trilogy...

It comes out next week.

Less than a month away... yay!

Third and Final Season in 2024. Just announced at Celebration. https://www.starwars.com/news/swce-2023-the-bad-batch-season-3

Saw it today. Was a fun film!

They officially announced that he is Thrawn at the Ahsoka panel that is going on right now
