    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    well, BG WAS full of jokes and homages itself. tons of enemies were puns.. don't over estimate how "serious" BG 1 and 2 were.

    V Rising

    you can dismiss them yes. for servants yes job, and home zone matters. as well as quality. lots of towns for dunely, so worker there. 90%+ fish and scourgestone are annoying to get, so something you'll want servants gathering. you'll want fish to feed captives. it heals them. with...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    is it woke degeneracy or larian silliness? Larian does love to be silly in their games. The overtly sexual chest back in Divinity 2... But as noted, genital sliders, pronouns, etc. once is a joke, 10 times is a pattern. you can also go look at the panels from hell, etc. The company has...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    people who make woke games have their priorities in the wrong place. its like Christian games and movies. the priority is on evangelizing Jesus, not making a good game ore movie. so they all suck. this effects every level of production. Hires are prioritized based not on merit, but being part...

    amusingly. Baldurs gate. as far as I can tell, it was Baldurs gate that originated companion romancing.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    man, I hate the weird sex/romance shit in crpgs. I just don't get it. who enjoys the weird fake stilted "romances" with npcs? so unnatural. also, so yes, druid obvious. but not a silly residual of an npc in shapeshift, while going into a cutscene. its scripted that way.

    women. I mean, I assume this is a "bug". druid shapeshifted into a bear, or polymorph. Pathfinder does this too. cutscenes while you are shapeshifted, or polymorphed can get silly. sex scene with a dog, or 30ft giantess via frightful presence, or a horse giving a rousing speech to the crusade.

    Superman & Lois

    its half true. Farmboy Clark is the real Clark. News reporter Clark IS a mask. So there is something to be said about Clark going too far, and news reporter Clark being his view on normal humans. or, its just him intentionally trying to be so small and unassuming, no one looks at him closely.

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    got a new one. has a demo on steam. Pretty fantastic first impression. uses Hades system for powerups. dialogue. gods/goddesses. roguelite meta progress.

    I love wrath.. but uh, I'd think that stipulation would disqualify. it does still have the crusade management. it does have lots of prebuffing. lots of talking. its a long campaign.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    bruh, the name of the planet is Iraq-us. he picked Vladimir Harkonnen because it sounded "soviet" the freman conduct a Jihad. The Atreides have a direct lineage from King Agamemnon, son of Atreus... spice is definitely not oil. he wasn't subtle.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    can't compare directly, as the leveling system has changed. bg1 time had exp penalties for multiclass, and bonus levels for drow, etc. that kind of stuff. I don't think tabletop to crpg compares well either. as tablettop has tons of action that is rp, and noncombat. crpgs tend to focus way...

    The Netflix Thread

    yeah, Nimona was Noelle stevensons's "breakout" webcomic. Noelle at the time had not gone full lunatic, but the comic 100% had all the tells. Nimona is a pyschopath lulz so random "hero". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimona haha. Noelle transitioned? lol. of course she did. (female to...

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    Not many I would say I regret spending time on. as, if I didnt like the game, I'd just stop. WoW after the first year or so. Depressed and playing the game as a GM was more like a job then fun. Don't regret quiting that cold turkey at all. Lineage 2 gets a similar nod. met some friends...

    The Outer Worlds

    so played this via gamepass. its.. pretty mediocre. I was particularly curious due to Avowed discussions. comparisons to Kotor for map style and size. and yes. thats what this is. which does not give me much hope for Avowed sadly. companion depth was not much. alt choices for...

    yeah. been debating on if watching this season supports cavil or, not. which message do I think adding a +1 to viewing adds? like will quiting now, send the message that the announcement of Cavil leaving, was immediate, good bye. or will watching this one, then bailing for the show without...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Hats off entertainment has a great vid on where 4 went wrong. one of his major points is that. 2 movies. first half is ok. second half becomes a cgi nightmare. development hell was an issue. its not 2 movies, its 4. indy and the saucer men from mars, then a script rewrite, indy and the city...

    Cities Skylines II

    was watching splattercat, and he played Ratopia recently. Kindof interesting as having a rudimentary capitalist system. Company town system. the settlers don't really have private property I think.. but they do have individual gold. and YOU pay them for their work. hauling, mining, etc.. and...

    yes. its basically bleach. “Bleach or enlightener is decolorizing the hair by breaking up the natural melanin in the hair,” she explained to me when I asked what exactly happens to my hair during a double process. “It actually doesn’t affect the follicle at all, but it does lift the cuticle...

    M3gan. its on prime now. 8/10. pretty solid movie. as most of the reviews said back at the time. you expect a bad scary doll knockoff movie... but damn is this movie on point with satire of modern parenting, and child behavior.

    Cities Skylines II

    haha. yeah workers and resources has a bit of that. Having to wait on materials to actually build, or having to swap projects etc. or manpower. Along the same lines I've discussed this on r/basebuilding. none of these sims are truly capitalist. in every one, you are some kind of god, king...

    Cities Skylines II

    I'd like to see city builders handle rural towns, and suburbs better. populations, and travel time for cops/fire, etc never reflect reality. parks, wildlife, etc would be interesting.

    Cities Skylines II

    poor traffic sim was a MAJOR complaint on skylines 1. if they really did focus on that, it is a big seller. In generally skylines was pretty as heck, but a bit shallow. A major factor for "Workers and resources" recommendations, much much deeper systems. u-turns, rerouting, accidents...

    These are both on amazon prime. Conan the Destroyer. less well loved compared to the original. its a much more direct dnd session. party gathering.. queen hires a fighter/thief, and thief to escort her daughter to steal a magic gem. sends her fighter, captain of the guard along. they pick...

    Vengeance (2022)

    yeah, watching now via prime. not done, but do have to recommend so far. It really does walk the line between mockery and earnestness so well. the MC constantly gets "am I a giant piece of shit?" checks. The whole thing hits the pacing of a great true crime documentary.

    you might be surprised. the further west you go probably less, yes. But east coast is LITTERED with ghost towns, and roads. Basically by 1900, the entirety of the East coast was deforested. cut down, pastures and towns built. we since then centralized more into cities, and had better...

    So playing the Outer worlds now, and I know exactly what they mean in terms of "Kotor2/outer worlds in size". yeah, this zoned off planet/planet design. ooph. like every "area" is just a skyrim town. small contained areas, with little to no cross questing. Definitely a disappointing...

    ep3. "beyond the sea" not too far in. having trouble with this one. why is it set in 1969? and using mansen? The idea of using avatars for space flight makes decent sense. but.. this shit would be reversed. you'd send the avatar into space, not the real person... the time spent is odd as...
