transporters screwing up and killing you, or merging you with another person etc is canon. yes lots of insanity and scary potential side effects there. like Replicators, hard light holograms, psychics, etc, which star trek never really explores. hell even Jordie cybernetics. Canonically...

I liked s2 quite a bit again. Definitely have some nit picks. But I don't hold them against the show too much. realities of TV, and YA fiction. Production design is still great. I think motivations and logical constancy is a bit weaker this season. Everyone has magic powers! but other...

ha, I thought it was obvious from the clip. they could have deep faked it easily though. I suspect they decided it would be disrespectful to do that though.

The Magicians was literally a time loop to justify not matching the books. doing that for HP would be a terrible idea and kindof ironic. Redoing the books AGAIN seems like an odd choice. I had actually thought they meant there were going to do a new story, like game. They DID redo His...

Calling it a gimmick based show is un-valueing it. it was very well made. very striking visuals, and great characters, and storytelling. One of the best shows ever, is also a stretch in the other direction of course. That tweet is definitely kindof lulz. the premise comes off as is Squid...

why would Joe ok this?

did some searching. apparently TAB is supposed to highlight interactables in Temple of Elemental evil. but, only works for some people.

That actually looked ok to me.

ha. i forgot about that. Its funny, watching a streamer who plays crpgs. he's been playing BG2. and he was commenting on how it just feels different and wishes someone would use the ruleset to make a modern game. but it was making me laugh because like 3minutes earlier he was going on and...

This just looks so dark and negative.

these are so good point. but FFS NINTENDO can't get Metroid games to shut the fuck up. if they don't understand Metroid, no way a movie wouldn't be a giant mess. As much as it sounds like a cool idea. The reality is, no movie would capture Metroid: Prime, better then Metroid: Prime itself.

I think starsector could learn a bit from this games distress calls.

Is that a man? has anyone seen Phoebe and Philosophy tube in the same place?

I checked. its still listed as Everspace 2 (game preview)on pc gamepass for me. see gamerant claiming gamepass version is supposed to upgrade to release though. https://gamerant.com/xbox-game-pass-new-games-today-april-2023-everspace-2-iron-brigade/

Jaime was created in 2006. Infinite crisis. https://readallcomics.com/infinite-crisis-03-of-07-2006/ he finds the scarab in #3. its the magic scarab. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Beetle_(Dan_Garrett) Ted was created by Ditko in 1966. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kord Ted is...

This is on amazon prime again. full season. via mgm+ s2 is on the 23rd. I'm not sure if amazon will have it. Blew through the season. it is very creepy and enjoyable. But holy shit the lost mystery box. Mystery mystery mystery with no explanations at all. A frustrating lack of...

Overall seems super generic. however, casting seems perfect. And, Jaime's family seems perfect as well. Jaime/Blue beetle is definitely one of the few legacy reboots with diverse characters people genuinely like.

Sortof... but there are other threats.. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Far_Realm https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Negative_Energy_plane I think the negative energy plane is a bigger threat in Pathfinder. as its not the same as evil. Negative energy in pathfinder is entropy...

This came into Early access. Bunch of Tainted grail games. This one is a TES style first person RPG. $30 AA price point is actually a bit suspect. I'm not sure how you do a skyrim like game at that price, and not be very unsatisfying. Watching Tangent/cohh stream it on Twitch, it does...

yes. note. I've not actually read any myself.. https://paizo.com/store/pathfinder/fiction/tales/novels Jim Zub did most of the comics. He also did many of the Dnd ones. https://paizo.com/store/byCompany/d/dynamiteEntertainment/pathfinderComics

abyss is threatening to overrun everything always. both in dnd and pathfinder. its kept in check, firstly due to constantly at war with itself. Then secondly constantly at war with Hell. pathfinder doesn't specifically have the bloodwar, but, its still happening without the name. And then...

Sounds like some Bullshit. "you quit our game, and made your own game exactly like ours", is not illegal. That they are even claiming that reeks of frivolous lawsuit trying to bury the studio with lawyer fees they can't afford. the server bullshit is more of an actual thing. very hard to...

Finished up Pillars 2. pacing is definitely poor at the end. Kindof had to force myself to finish. Like, met Eothas at maw. and.. had the world cleared, so basically just went ot meat him at the final immediately. I had hit level 20 much, much earlier as well. so any character progression...

yeah, I caught this on prime the other day. I loved the alien design, and much of it... but the pacing, and editing... not so much. and I think the script could have used some touch ups.

every patch brings improvements. but the game is still pretty rough imho. 35$ price tag? eh. about so. If you really are hesitant, keep waiting for all the classes to be complete I suppose.

I feel like all the people that didn't love this, should go back and watch it again. it is fantastic. you watch theatrical or directors cut? theres a big segment on getting King to approve the changes to the book to merge in the Shining movie elements in the wiki...

did you just randomly watch this again, or did you see good/bad flicks review the other day?

the 3 men here are "lieutenant marvels". in pure silver age sillyness. 3 guys all also named Billy Batson from the U.S. are super fans of the "real" Billy, and go meet him. Billy gives them the powers of shazam as well. cause why not? tall billy, hill billy, and fat billy...

should always be noted. "its from the comics" has become a completely loaded term. Comics have been overtaken by woke communists since 2005. Burgerking kids club Shazam family is from the post Flashpoint reboot in 2013. (2013 puts us well past the "something changed in 2011. And comics were...

you saw the bannerlord chat gpt mod right? did you post that here? I think its doubtful on ES6 or starfield really embracing the sim sadly. that really is the uniqueness of ES versus other crpgs, eldren ring, etc. but I don't think the average gamer understands that. you can look at fallout...

ah. yeah. looks like it was just NWN 1 I was mistaken. found this neat retrospective on wizardry. interesting, when talking about wizardry 1, you can directly see its influence on the creation of final fantasy and dragonquest. classes/menus/actions. dragonquest even bringing up the first...

nah for ultima online. the players were intended to take on that role. the npcs are far more static. But much of the world as Sim is still there. or was, and then patched out. Lord british famously being murdered. or, how the original design had an ecology sim. m+f rabbits, would spawn...

man, hard to say. ultima and wizardry are very different games, and genres. lets talk ultima first. first, honestly not even sure.. checked a bit, and found this thread. I'm not sure I would recommend ultima 1-3 on pc. they are SO old at this point. maybe the nes versions of 3 and 4.. These...

yeah, this probably falls under the "scope is growing too much". I'd almost say he should skip Divinity:OS 1/2 for now as well. wait for the ultima retrospective for those. we can say that for wasteland/fallout too. not ultima, but still different genre.

watching an older mortismal gaming vid, and he just brought up Underrail. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/underrail-expedition.11303/#post-4231194 This isn't really for Rajaah. anyone else played underrail, think its worth checking out? its 50% off on steam atm, base game and dlc. 11.58...

Arcanum is equality top tier, and broken unfinished mess. its one of the top games for dialogue branching. where people will treat you differently based on race/sex, just across the game. as well as your int, will effect your dialogue choices. or getting drunk. not like modern games...

I mean thats fairly common. the protag is the audience insert. bland, knows nothing. everyone else is interesting. look at twilight series. hell, luke is the most boring in Starwars and Empire. every sitcom with everyman dad. point break. neo for 95% of The matrix. harry is far and away...

let him focus on the iso rpgs. then we can get him playing the Ultima's. Then wizardry/dungeoncrawls. then might and magic. then kings quest.

they might be hyping this up a bit too much. its a decent game. but, it is 100% an indie game. it does not have the budget of diablo or lost ark and it shows. Some people like the deterministic crafting. I'm not sure i could really point to anything that really stands out as brilliant...

yeah. wasteland was 1988. haha there is a wasteland remastered though. dont know anything about it though. Wasteland was the precurser to Fallout. "The ideas of the Fallout series began with Interplay Productions' Wasteland, released in 1988. At that time, Interplay was not a publisher and...
