FOMO is a powerful marketing tool

Since this is on Game Pass I might as well give it a shot. I tried to login and play D2 a few weeks ago but was blindsided with info overload from the content that I had missed in the previous expansions and just sat there twitching. I am hopeful that this will provide a more clear 'starting...

Advantage / Disadvantage is the most numerically troublesome mechanic in D&D since the removal of Magic Resistance. When you combine that with the ways in which someone can relatively easily increase their AC and you end up with situations where the caster types are essentially immune to melee...

"Horizon Forbidden West is given a fine-print “anticipated second half 2021” designation in the trailer, where others are mentioned as “anticipated first half 2021.” aaaannnndddd therefore I am okay with waiting for the PS5 until next Fall

Finally beat Hades on a run I was just screwing around with. Maybe I was just overthinking the whole deal. Anywho now starting at heat 1 to get the blood I need to unlock all these weapons I've had to largely ignore.

It is telling that they say 'the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe' rather than saying 'sequel to Andromeda'

I am legit terribad at this game. I'm like 80+ runs in, have everything on the dark mirror unlocked and maxed out, have most of the trinkets at 3 stars and I STILL haven't been able to beat Hades.

The ones in Rebels were based on the same concept drawing.

Those spider things were in a couple episodes of Rebels. To think I thought they were icky in that...

So one of the two new characters is...

It's just on the outskirts of Mos Eisley. Probably have nothing which is why they were trying to ambush whoever was heading into town.

Sony confirmed this AM that there will be no launch-day product in retail stores other than what is ordered online for in-store pickup. So no camping out / waiting in line / tossing a few bucks to the warehouse manager.

Cities: Skylines can easily devour your soul. It is dangerously addictive trying to make your urban area into something nice.

Given the reported yields on the silicon I dont think the supply limitations are artificial. I think they would genuinely love to have quite a few more consoles ready to go and are just stuck with a supply chain that is not up to the task. I chuckle at the PS5 ads that are running in...

I'm fairly certain they are aiming for the 1% disposable income types who will fork over $$ for an additional PS5 when it comes in the color they want. There is a whole marketing strategy now whereby (after you make a must-have product) you target people with more money than sense to buy things...

Apparently the manufacturer of the 3rd party plates for PS5 have been given a cease-and-desist order from Sony. They are very much against people removing their white fins

*groan*. You are a bad person!

God damn it feels good to watch this. I liked that the krayt dragon was an acid spitter because that gave it a draconic 'breath weapon' without veering too far into force weirdness. Timothy Olyphant was pretty cool as well. Character suited him.

Had they just been able to have this as a PS5 launch title I would have actually grabbed a PS5 (or tried damn hard to do so). Even now with all the delays and especially with these reported performance issues I'm sad I won't be playing it on the latest hardware.

So Adira is a human bonded to a trill symbiont, which explains the wunderkind status as well as why they end up going to the Trill homeworld as we saw in some preview scenes. I would be annoyed by the character were it not for how annoyed Stamets and Tilly were at the 'twee genius's. In...

Very much this. Yes, problems do crop up during product development but everyone else manages to figure this shit out. When was the last time a major motion picture had it's release date pulled ~20 days out? Watching the Frozen 2 documentary on Disney+ reveals that they are scrambling like...

Yes it's just the compatibility one. The real next gen version is still 2021.

I wonder when we will see this new generation (PS5, XSEX) in stores sitting on shelves on a regular basis? June?

One thing to note is that light is incredibly important in this game. If your target is in dim light you are at a disadvantage when attacking and that is huge. It means that having a party member with a torch or a caster that had used a Light cantrip on one of their equipped items is a big...

I do like that the next episode has them going to Earth. I was worried that they were somehow gonna keep dodging that elephant while dancing around what had happened in the Star Trek universe since Picard when it makes more sense to spore-hop back to Earth (or Vulcan or Andor) and say...

I'm half tempted to just skip this entire expansion and come back whenever the plotline gets back from the afterlife to find the new state of the world. I'm really thinking that they will blow the map up again by having everyone who was in Shadowlands come back and it's 200+ years later with...

Saru is still the best character in my view. Was advertised genetically afraid and seemed like he would be a character that would be a glorified secretary second-in-command and instead we have a captain-in-all-but-rank who actually embodies the general sense of hope without being weak. The bit...

Second episode was 99% Burnham free and was pretty good. Nice to see more attention paid to the rest of the cast.

This is not a MOBA. Some people enjoy playing the same game over and over and over and over... others want some variety. Its why we don't all just play Chess.

Maybe if they implement weapon tiers / types of weapons that you can use only after you have mastered a previous weapon. There's only so much you can do when you learn all the character powers within the first couple days of playing. Anything after that ends up being just more complex...

The pitch to investors was 'people like TikTok right? What if we had a whole network of TikTok-like shows that are filmed in a vertical aspect ratio so people don't need to rotate their phones!' One of the local Showcase Cinemas that had recently undergone a complete retrofit to recliner...

Some talents and class abilities don't currently work properly, but that is to be expected with an Early Access game. They patched a bunch of them this AM but there are still a few I noticed as non-functional. Its a shame that their overall art is low quality as they really have nailed the D&D...

That's by design... It's a tutorial about using disengage to avoid the wolf. Disengage and then push the boulder. This is a small indy developer. 17 people in the whole team. If they can do this with such a small group I have high hopes for whatever this will lead to down the road. They...

Started it up and I'm already very impressed. Your original characters are created with various personality attributes which shape the different dialogue options that are available to them. Yes... this is a game where your original characters are not mute but are, in fact, actual characters...

They have apparently sold a million copies on Steam. This would align with their statement that sales were 'insane'.

Well Kate Siegel (Viola) is the wife of Mike Flanagan and so I knew she had to come into play at some point. Was still and interesting backstory episode.

We are doing Dragon Heist at the moment and at level 4 no one in the party has a single magic item of any kind.... This is especially bad as both me (Rogue) and the other melee guy (Monk) have substantially worse AC than either the Wizard or the Cleric.

Decided to give this another shot as I hadn't played in months and certainly not since they made many of the post free-to-play conversion. It's not good. I actually nodded off while playing at around level 10. It's just that uninspired...

At first I thought the 'guns' were just like the personal transporters and were beaming whoever was hit to jail. NOPE She does indeed murder a lot of security folk and who-knows-how-many bystanders caught in the crossfire. The fact that the space cops accept their surrender instead of...
