Yes, there's quite a few arcs that aren't kid friendly, not based on sex or the like, but just adult themes, violence and horror. Sex wise, it's pretty much entirely absent other than the two 'mating rituals' chapters. The first books being lower standard is possibly not the case anymore...

The best scenes in season 2 were flashbacks to season 1. Cancellation was more a mercy killing than anything else.

Wow, apparently in the grimdark future everything is bigger, including the nerfs. 'Instead of giving an extra turn, this talent now gives a damage buff but only if they are already buffed by you and only if they are attacking an enemy that hasn't moved yet' 'Instead of giving 3 * int bonus, it...

Nah, because the ones split off from Jason2 are all going looking for a world where he didn't ditch his girlfriend. The journey back to his original world with Jason1 was after he had worked out how to use the box, so he presumably didn't spend weeks wandering at random that time.

Context sensitive menus are for babies, real men use Esc followed by a 5 digit hex code representing the window id of the thing they are closing.

The box is a story McGuffin that doesn't have anything to do with any theoretical quantum mechanics, it's just a prop to have the story happen. If you want a quick hand-wave justification, any possible universes where someone trashed the box or moved it somewhere else can't be accessed by the...

I enjoyed the initial release of Starfield for what it was, despite the many flaws. I have zero interest in an expansion or DLC though, unless it is 100% new stuff it would involve going through old stuff to get to it, and that's not happening.

I dunno, nothing in the gameplay trailer seemed particularly objectionable except how bad the person playing it was. It was very on-rails and pretty brain-dead, but it was presumably an intro of some sort. Not for me though, if I found ADHD jumping around standing in and out of flashing circles...

Anime is a super wide thing with lots of different genres, and lots of stuff that doesn't fit into any of them neatly. Some of the best anime ever made will be hated by lots of people for not being the kind of thing they like. Without knowing what you like ( and possibly you don't know either )...

Lots of good suggestions - I'd also add: Elydes Bog-Standard Isekai Both of them are creative and pretty different from the standard run of the mill litrpg. Note this solely from the text version, I have no idea if the voice actors suck or whatever. On the slightly less litrpg front could also...

It's even better, it's not actually a fire extinguisher, she puts it out with her pocket robot, which is apparently also a screwdriver and a welding tool.

Sven always makes me a little sad that I am never going to love my job as much as he does ;p

Sooo, this is very pretty, high production values and good choreography. But. I just can't get over how dumb it is, in almost every bit of dialogue. "You match the description of a suspect" - this is a galactic federation of hundreds of planets, and someone *recognised her* from a fucking...

Yeah, even if it literally ate babies, the thing has survived for hundreds of billions of years, and the first thing you do is smash it ? Imagine the kind of ego you'd need for that. I'd like to see the original builders show up to ask what the fuck these people were doing with their public...

Obligatory

This has grown on me as it goes along - the latest episode was pretty good. I am pretty sure they typoed the title for the episode though, it was supposed to be called 'Bitch, are you retarded?'

Oozemancer was my first insane win, they are tankier than bulwarks, have great mobility and decent nuke power. Not invincible, but great for surviving almost any instant-death situation. Archmage is fun and powerful, but you have to actually pay attention to what classes the rares have, because...

I always play on insane difficulty these days, and pretty much always skip the dark crypt. Corruptors just have way too much instant burst damage and bone armor makes killing them quickly impossible - no matter how tough you think you are at that point, the chances of getting insta'gibbed is...

Artifact suggests a strong degree of skepticism is warranted there.

Depends by whose standards - Lich is actually kind of like a typical gamer 'Obviously my companions are better off as undead, think of the resists and buff synergies ! Sure they may complain about it now, but they won't care afterwards'

Wait, hold up here, you thought 'Space Babies' was a pro-abortion argument ? Seriously ?

Yeah, it's the same kind of thing as the specials - the kid's show aspect has been dialed up from probably to a 9/10 instead of a 4/10. So a lot of the stuff is things that would be fun/funny for 8 year olds. Really great kid's stuff doesn't insult your intelligence for watching - this is not...

There's a few types of crafting - you get jewelry crafting with the base game, socketed items with Stone Warden or escort, cursed items with Cursed, steampunk tinkering comes from the orc campaign DLC ( Embers of Rage ) and Cults adds custom item crafting, but as Pyros pointed out, that is super...

The lead character of orphan black was 98% of what made it work. Without her they don't even try really, the three actresses they have playing the same person aren't even a little bit convincing in being the same person. It's not completely awful though, was still mildly entertaining, but has...

I thought it was good, but not great. I know where the story is going from the book though, so probably a bit more suspense etc if you are coming into it fresh.

Yeah, I dropped that one for pretty much those reasons

I once got my nephew a toy phone that had the same ringtone as my sister's phone. I am pretty sure that was a crime against *something*.

Two years ? Two months is more like it.

I think he's more talking about more than combat balance in that - storywise with how BG3 ends there's not a lot of reason for the characters to be doing some epic high level adventure. Sort of cheapens out a lot of endings if it immediately segues into 'Oh hey, I am back, that problem was...

I am sure it is - not restricted to F2P shit though, from memory WoW was single-handedly keeping the entirety of Vivendi alive before the Activision 'merger'. F2P probably makes it worse though, just look at how much bullshit Epic has gotten up to off the back of Fortnite.

"I can't believe this is fucking happening to me again" LOL.

I've got mixed feelings on viral hit - the first few episodes were pretty entertaining, but his dating life is so unbelievably cringe I am not sure I can watch more of that. Kaiju 8 seems fine. Unnamed memory I struggle to pay attention. Aristocrat is ok I guess. I have yet to check out...

Surely that would put you fully in favor of paid cosmetics though ? You get a cheaper game and lose nothing you care about, while the barbie-dress-up crowd pays for updates for you.

So - random thoughts on recent stuff: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/83315/systema-delenda-est New one from the Paranoid Mage author. Um, hard to describe - it's like the Zerg invade a fantasy litrpg setting, but the twist that the MC is actually the Zerg. System Apocalypse that went a...

It's been a while, but my memory was that he had a huge sulk about the suggested edits, and was too famous to be pushed on it.

The blood bag is labelled in an unknown language and has white shit swimming in it. So it's probably just what it looks like in the ending scene.

I quite liked Dawn of the Void, was definitely a different take on that genre. Speaking of which, that guy actually started a new series on RR this week, Thrones of the Fallen. Not bad so far, I am amused that it makes the second series where being corrupted by demonic evil makes someone...

Yeah you can move resize all the ui elements, there's a lock icon on the, uh, bottom right by default I think ? Once unlocked, holding down right click on the anchor lets you resize the element, holding down left click lets you drag it around.

AFAIK it's because Mariko was Ochiba's only friend, Ishido having her killed to avoid looking weak was kind of a smooth-brained move. ( Presumably this wasn't his actual plan, given the Ronin tried to kidnap her rather than just stab her, but she fucked it up with her suicidal tendencies ) The...

Hey, it's not that bad - the last patch was july 2023, and it's already had 14 years of regular patching ;p I am not sure you can ask much more from something with the outrageously steep price of $0.
