Tell me you've never done a low level run without telling me you've never done a low level run.

I suggest a low level run because it sets you up to to be congruent with the mechanics of the game. Monsters level up as you level so advancement is hollow. Triple Triad is a primary source of magic, items and even abilities. Turning off random encounters puts the story front and center. Play...

C'mon. Leveling up Card and the different refinement abilities on GFs is power gaming? It's either level those up, which you are able to start grinding in the first 15 minutes of the game, or using Draw and Draw fucking sucks. I provided what I thought was the best advice I could which is...

Going step by step with the card guide isn't necessary but it explains how to not shit up the rules you play by along with where big cards are. Doing that yourself blind on a game that's 25 years old that you're already not having a great time with is Not Worth.

He's a big boy. He can handle it. I bought FF8 when it came out and hated it for like fifteen years. Grind for one hour with Seifer at the start, never level, play cards makes it actually enjoyable. If you try and play FF8 like you would FF7 you'll hate it and yourself. You don't even have to be...

Ok, so. FF8. Drawing sucks. What doesn't suck is playing Triple Triad for cards and refining those cards through GF abilities in to items and magic. Here's what you can do. Start a new game and run from everything in the first cave. Gain zero exp until you get put in a group with Seifer. Equip...

We can only hope.

People will show up for launch because launches are a unique animal but the last couple of years fucked enough things up that a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth. Vaniki was kind of a mess but not a ton of people played there. Oakwynd had solid numbers but it also had a burnout...

None of those bitches have a dumper, 'tis true.

The consensus is what? That this was a dumper so Sony could hold on to Spiderman related IPs?

Oh, I haven't seen it yet and didn't know they cut Chris. He was smaller than his brothers with less talent and got pushed in to a spot he wasn't ready for. When he couldn't measure up he killed himself. There's something unpleasantly meta about him not making the cut in the film as well.

The oldest died when he was like two. He got electrocuted standing outside by a trailer or something and drowned in a puddle of snow.

How many actual magic cards is that pack then? 5? 6? Why do they keep adding not magic cards to packs of magic cards.

2001 spends a great deal of its runtime on things floating in space. There's a fine line between stylized minimalism and the director fucking with you. I really can't imagine contemporary audiences putting up with it on its own merits. The Barbie movie doing a parody of the 2001 monolith monkey...

In this video the Critical Drinker recommended a couple under appreciated sequels. I didn't even know 2001: A Space Odyssey had a sequel so I was curious and checked it out. It wasn't bad! We get a little more time with HAL which was nice and although it's aesthetic is kind of off compared...

How about this instead. You get a message. The message says "take the ISS by any means necessary." You assume that the other side got the same message. We can go a step further and assume that when they read their message they will also conclude what our orders are. Given these facts the...

Made it 2/3rds of the way through before I started fast forwarding. It's pretty bad. The premise isn't horrible but between the decisions of the characters and the current year character archetypes I stopped giving a shit very quickly.

Boy, and it never develops it either. I will say though that the books it uses for its source material (My Helmet for a Pillow + For the Old Breed) are each much better than the book that is the foundation of Band of Brothers. The Band of Brothers one was dry and not all that insightful. I...

unrelated - edit - the one is a picture of Kenny Omega's soon to be streamer setup, what a fucking casual

Which is a zillion times easier as far as soil cleanup goes. Pack them in to a cube and put the cub in a mountain.

Was it any good?

The Rock is 51 and he's on the gas while having quite a few wrestler miles on that chassis. If he's not incredibly careful he's going to suffer one serious injury after another.

Virgil versus THE KLAN (Jim is his opponent, interference from Bryan Christopher). It was a different time.

These things are both true. Warner Brothers would never, ever make Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles today and what they would be willing to make would be woke garbage. HBO slapped the fucking thing with a trigger warning on their streaming service. Season 2 on the way!

Lots of funny ending segments in this one

In the first film we get news clippings about an EMP crippling New York. Toasting the power grid is instant anarchy by itself and then you throw in aliens on top and that's that. The issue I have is making them invulnerable (again, newspaper clippings) is stupid and impairs the plot...

If you mention the book in a game store (the magic and dnd and warhammer kind) nerds will materialize from the shadows and gush over it. This is reproducible.

Buy whatever you want but it's a book that sits on a shelf. The copy you actually read is probably going to be the mass marketed paperback so when you drip mustard on it who cares.

I've only read it the one time but I liked book two!

I did some bow stuff, some chieftan stuff, my league starter was splitting steel which was alright and I've messed around a bunch on a Ralakesh/Replica Badge Trickster with different Maven belts and shit and everything is more work than brands plus brands have no inherent drawbacks. My first...

QoL on brands is crazy. If they overtune another one next league I'm just starting whatever that is.

I wonder if some of this has to do with Black Adam being a flop. There were reports that Dwayne had a hell of an ego throughout the whole thing including wanting the DCU to put him front and center across Cavill even though the character is a Captain Marvel antagonist. The movie doesn't do very...

Rock! Go challenge Roman! You can do it, my life long friend!

I'm guessing there are a number of nerd oriented content creators that see themselves reflected and don't like it. More than one artist was salty over This is Spinal Tap which is a good sign you did your work as a satirist.

I was fucking dying when Jay said "we changed formats because we thought this would be easier." I don't even know which podcasts they're ripping on but that line had teeth.
