    Monster train

    Found another hilariously broken interaction for Underlegion. The artifact that gives you stealth on summon and +3 atk per stealth stack combos with Bolete's build that propagates all friendly units on slay. As long as you can kill at least one unit, the entire floor becomes permanently...

    LitRPG

    I liked the Alex Verus books, and the ending was not bad at all, but they don't have any litrpg elements if that is specifically what you are after. For litrpg finished ones specifically, uh - this one finished fairly recently and I thought it was a good read throughout. Not perfect by any...

    Monster train

    When Luna wins, they win big - you kind of need to get one of the armor spells early though. Still, the above is relatively minor on the shenanigans front. Just one-tapped Seraph with a 16k hit from Grael, lol. ( Get some reanimate on Grael, then sacrifice him to an assistant with brain...

    Monster train

    Some funny interactions in here for sure: - funguy troops dying count for harvest effects like wickless tycoon and memorial fund. I think I had more gold in that game than any other 3 games combined. - egg specced Gilda and the mirror room - loool. Pro-tip - don't merge Heph's hammer and the...

    Monster train

    I did way better with mushroom boys than dragons. Dunno if the mushies are stronger but the playstyle clicked more for me for sure. I didn't realize that propagate increases inherent abilities that have stacks as well as buffs - an avarice ability thrown onto a mushroom general as pretty a much...

    Holy shit I am terrible at this game.

    What are you playing?

    BG3 has a solid argument for best CRPG of all time. As far as woke goes - do you want to fuck bears ? No ? Then don't fuck bears. Are you worried you might be tempted to fuck bears ? There's probably an anti-bear-fucking mod available to download. Are you deeply offended at the idea that...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    On reflection - screw both the opposing views for the ending, the real hero here is Esquie, and they would both be better off if he slapped some sense into them :trollface:

    DotF was never well-written, and I got bored of it eventually, but I'll still give the guy credit for keeping absurd amounts of power creep going far longer than I thought was possible.

    LitRPG

    A lot of them start as web serials, so there is a strong incentive to keep going as long as possible when it is successful, as there's no guarantee that new series will receive the same degree of success. The same kind of applies to regular publishing as well, but to a lesser extent as the...

    Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)

    I liked this - constant action, almost no character building, good animation, moderately interesting stories. The bad - shitty framerate, and while the viking story was decent, the japan one was good, the american one leaned way too hard into the absurd. The logic for how the end fight played...

    Ballerina (2024)

    I thought this was not bad, if a bit overdone - could use some editing, like the first time she spoilers a group of guys, it was pretty cool, but after victim number 40 or so it was wearing a bit thin. I will say though : Now starring - Mecha-O'Shane, The Ghoul of Gabriel Byre, Lance...

    Alien: Earth

    I want to say I watched them, but I think the memories have been repressed due to trauma ;p I'd be right there with you, if the writers, producers or directors have any overlap with the movies, but I don't think they do ? Genuine question though - what makes something 'zoomer slop' ? I would...

    Alien: Earth

    I dunno what all the bizarre negativity ever since it was announced is about, but the trailer looks pretty good.

    Doctor Who

    No. The good storylines pretty much left when Moffat did. That era was kind of an anomaly, historically Dr Who has always been a low budget kid's show, and the quality of writing was wildly all over the place, but usually below average.

    Web Serials

    To be fair, biblical angels literal descriptions are pretty horrifying. I suspect there's more going on here with that though - there's clearly some very weird shit going on with their world.

    Hey ! I... uh.. have no comeback to this. :)

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    If that's your main concern, there's no worry there - it supports full turn based mode. Now as for recommendation - I am guessing you aren't a Pathfinder expert, or you would have already played it. So - how would you rate yourself on the neckbearded autist scale ? 0 - do not recommend 1-5 -...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    100% this - you have no chance with the sound off, think of it more like a rhythm game than lightning reflexes. The video above is hilariously accurate in that respect ;p

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    So finished up all the side stuff. If this isn't game of the year, that will be fantastic news, because it would mean that 2025 was one of the best years for gaming ever. If the soundtrack isn't best of the year, then that's clear proof the gaming awards are rigged ;p Ending spoilers:

    See, what you are missing here is the AI revolution. With Erso dead, they needed a new death star, but had no-one to design it, so the Emperor trained an AI model on Erso's work on the original death star, and it faithfully copied the critical vulnerabilities as being a required component...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    It's a little easier to just buff her crit and then do elemental trick ( gives you the 4 elemental stains ), then elemental genesis. Unfortunately this becomes mostly useless later in act 2 when you run into elemental absorb enemies. Lune is still the GOAT* of act2 damage though, you can just...

    Love, Death & Robots

    The chinese dinosaur racing and the nazi demons were ok, the rest was kind of meh to outright bad. Overall a swing and a miss for this season I think. No great stories, no amazing animation. Shame.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Yeah. I think I enjoyed the way they tell the story at the start the most out of any RPG I have played. It's an original and wildly unique setting, and they just give no fucks about explaining things, you'll work it out as you go. The whole vibe of these people being absolutely fucked in a...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    It doesn't matter really - agi is probably the most generally useful, but the difference between getting 1 turn for each turn of the monsters and getting 2 turns for each turn of the monsters is pretty huge, so a lot of the time it isn't doing much past given breakpoints. All the stats kinda...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I think their intention for the midgame is that you try out different builds as you go - there's not a lot of weapon upgrades, but there's a pretty smooth curve of upgraded weapons of different types.

    Murderbot

    Seems pretty good so far. The opening is way out of line with the books, but it's probably a fakeout given what happens later. Show murderbot is visually more terminator than robocop, probably because they wanted more Skarsgaard nudity.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    I went back through the early areas after unlocking the paint spike destruction, and I had missed sooooo much stuff ( not related to the spikes ). I somehow managed to miss both dead energy and dead energy 2, which would have saved so much time in the early game ;p

    'Toxic Masculinity', lol. That works on so many levels. The trailer looks pretty good.

    The Last of Us

    Is there some game context here ? I thought from the show that FEDRA was basically the 'fuck your democracy, we have the guns' faction ? Do they even have citizens or elections ?

    LitRPG

    Void is on point here I think - it does get a lot better once it gets its own style going, but gradually gets less interesting over time. I wouldn't recommend it in the current state, but some of the earlier-mid stuff was pretty good.

    LitRPG

    There is, as far as I can tell, no sex, romance, serious relationships, or even flirting in the whole series. That's just a weird bit of characterization.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Honestly, I would have thought I would hate the parry/dodge system before I tried it, but it's actually kinda fun, although rage inducing at times. It's not all or nothing though, from what I have seen: Regular mobs - you can just ignore parry/dodge completely, checkpoints are common, healing...

    Wait, what ? All of those had wildly ballooning budgets, Stranger Things is like the worst case of that to have ever existed in TV I think - it went from like 3mil/ep s1 to 30mil/ep s4.

    I thought the ep1 heist was great, an amusing poke at the general star wars trend of 'spaceships are basically magical horses, anyone can ride one to anywhere in zero elapsed time and they don't need fuel'

    Daredevil: Born Again

    I watch Daredevil for the action and fight choreography and this delivered.... for the first and last episodes. Pity about the rest of it. If I wanted to watch a show about marriage counseling I'd turn the tv off and go outside while there is still time. Has there ever been a story about...
