    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean, pugging a key just before reset is for the desperate. You can get baddies and retards any day of the week, but your odds are extra awful on the last day. Kind of best case is you are overgeared and get invited to a group to carry someone's trash alt. That's kind of insulting, but the...

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    Green man gaming had it for $8, so I figured why not. It looks kind of interesting but I have a pile of crap in my to-do list for gaming so never got around to it before. ( Also buying it at $40 after seeing it on sale for $15 before feels bad ).

    Kind of goes with the territory of the lighter kid friendly tone - they are lucky they stumbled onto whimsically comical supervillains, because some random thug with a 9mm would have killed all of them with no effort ;p

    "Your indecision baffles and angers Darkseid" Heh. 10 points for the Adam West Batman callback, I almost choked on my drink.

    What did you just read?

    Books : Ascend Online [1-2] - Luke Chmilenko Litrpg - not to be confused with 'Awaken Online'. This is very much in the literal part, in that the characters in the book are literally playing a game - it's not secretly a real world or the object of godlike or alien machinations. They aren't...

    Harley Quinn

    Eh, it's trite and predictable plot line, but the episodes manage to be pretty good regardless - the whole Darkseid storyline was hilarious. I'll reserve judgement til watching them i think.

    Yeah, that was actually quite reasonable. Touche writers ;p

    Space Force

    I watched all of this as background while doing other stuff. It was ok, it just wasn't funny - the last minute of the first episode is about as funny as it gets. That's not to say it spent all it's time trying to be funny and failing, it spends a lot of time playing it pretty straight.

    It's good fun. As a joyless nitpicker I have a few random comments : - Dad starts getting into shape and disappearing for lengthy periods of time with super hot 15yr old stepdaughter, coming up with awkward excuses when asked what they were doing ? ;p

    Spring 2020 Anime Thread

    I tried out Villainess on your recommendation, and I like it. Lighthearted silly fun. Catarina is the absolutely the worst adventurer ever to set foot in a dungeon though - she'd be in awe of how professional the cast of Konusuba are ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Does standard pvp scaling even work for PVP islands ? I helped a guildie out with one a couple of weeks ago and the tank ran into the enemy team while gathering mobs and solo killed all of them with random twilight dev procs, at which point 2 of them immediately dropped group. They were...

    It's *possible*, but that's a lot of effort for a couple of minutes of in-game spamming.

    The writers of this are clearly a bunch of trolls. Shots were fired ;p Despite this, it's a pretty damn funny show.

    Spring 2020 Anime Thread

    That scene was pretty funny - I have to wonder what the karate guy was thinking though - even if he has a really high opinion of himself, hand-to-hand fighting a 12ft tall 2 ton slab of muscle seems like it would present some practical problems ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well yes, that's the exception that proves the rule. High key M+ is the least accessible content they've ever added, that's probably what lead them to the 'shocking' realization that things like LFR are anti-social because you have no idea who any of those mouth-breathing retards are, and hope...

    What did you just read?

    Oh lol, I just realised I had made the same mistake. Yeah Cradle doesn't really fit, and neither does Mother of Learning, but I guess they are both good enough to have cross genre appeal.

    Which computer chair do you use? Needs to be poopsock viable

    I've been pretty happy with the steelcase gesture. Probably not worth the cost, but it's very comfortable without requiring a lot of fucking around with adjustments. Also the only chair with armrests I've ever used where I didn't take the armrests off due to shitty positioning. I used to use...

    Devs

    This was pretty weird. It was ok i guess, but didn't really work as whole I think. Offerman could pull off the slow, portentous speech but no-one else could, which made them all sound kind of ridiculous. The rants about tech CEOs also seemed weirdly out of place, particularly the Messiah...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes. Then you went on to conflate that with no titanforging as a 'well, obviously those two have to go together', and then applied it back to years of previous discussion which never talked about loot amounts one way or another and expressed confusion that people wanted to have less loot just to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well, part of the problem here is that there was no 'titanforging or less loot' dilemma until you invented one right here. Other than that there's the usual 'How dare these scrubs have better gear than me just because they are lucky", but mostly it's because people like to be finished with...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    This prompted me to take a look at the workshop for this - wow, that's a hell of a lot of quality mod content.

    What did you just read?

    It goes in a rather surprising direction to end up as well. For something so out of left-field it was a pretty satisfying ending to the series.

    Westworld

    No, it was just original Bernard that wanted the hosts to gain sentience. Also outside AI is a product of a completely different, unrelated company, and it isn't sentient. That's like saying it's dumb for microsoft to be working on cortana when google is already way better at search.

    Spring 2020 Anime Thread

    Tower of God is one of the few ones I've read, it's really weird seeing the animation look exactly like the original art. It's good though. I'm interested to see if they update some of the translation - the english translation for a lot of the early-mid bits are kinda sketchy.

    Messiah

    Bah. I just finished watching this a few hours ago and then see this. I was actually wondering if it would get a second season in any reasonable timeframe due to corona so not really surprised I guess. Still sucks though.

    Bloodshot (2020)

    This wasn't bad. It was sort of weird though , as they have the giant plot twist that completely undermines everything about the main character and his motivations - and then it just keeps going like that wasn't important. Vin Diesel is like 'shrug, whatever, back to revenge murderin' It's...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    Obviously the financial model needs to change - they wouldn't have run out of money otherwise. I'm thinking they change the gold shop to a cash shop, that should fix it ;p
