    The Expanse

    I'll assume they end it before the time skip. That would have been problematic to do with the same actors anyway. Makes for a bit of a downer as an ending though.

    In fairness, how confident are you that Trump wouldn't actually reveal the existence of magic over twitter ? ;p I mean, I would say that he *probably* wouldn't, but I am certainly not 100% confident, heh.

    The Mandalorian

    My takeaway from this episode is that they are not paying the shipyard workers nearly enough 8) That's a mind-blowingly fast, high-quality turnaround even if he was dropping off his Honda Civic to fix a problem with the radio.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah I can see where you got that, what with all the generic faceless NPCs giving the player collect 20 bear ass quests that we saw in that trailer o_O

    This. Also, Mnemosyne springs to mind. Sadly the 'ultraviolence and tits' subgenre of anime is almost completely dead now.

    It, uh, might lack a little subtlety. For example, even the black villain is white.

    I thought you were talking about Rhythm of War before I read it properly, I blame you for my lack of reading comprehension ;)

    Fall 2020 Anime Thread

    I've only watched the first episode of Akudama Drive, but I got some good laughs, the super villains are so ridiculously over the top that it makes the Fast and Furious movies look like a science documentary. There is also clearly no possible way in which the heroine's "plan" can go wrong ;p

    The Mandalorian

    The 'Boob Armor' complaint is usually that adding boobs to a chest plate creates weak points and funnels the force of blows into the center of your chest, instead of deflecting to either side. I.e. it's a shit design that is simply to look sexy, i.e. is probably sexist, in the same way that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Nah, I have been running one character of each covenant through missions fairly regularly to test it out ( a few clicks every 3-8 hours is not a lot of time investment ), you typically get around 3 or so gold reward missions a day. They do not appear to have scaled in reward at all from level 1...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is actually stupid bullshit from my perspective. All I want to do is get the bag for my alts, but the way they have set it up with a rare rotation you can kill the bag guy once on one character every 7 hours for a chance at a rare drop. Given I actually sleep and work, it's looking to be...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Malkav pretty much covered that it, but there's no real conflict there. You go to the maw and grind boring and pointless mobs with ever increasing levels of petty annoyances until you get kicked out. You aren't *required* to do it per se, in the same way that you didn't *have* to grind visions...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    I mean, think of the scale - every single NPC in WoW of every country, realm, plane of existence combined wouldn't even make a small town. Do you actually want a realistic big city of 100k people ? It'd take weeks or months to find a particular quest NPC or vendor even if they always stayed in...

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    You can use Fane's mask regardless of what race you are. Death fog is the king of cheese though true, right from the starter boat ;p

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    I can confirm this one, so I'd imagine the others the author did are also legit. It's designed for soloing honor mode ( hardest difficulty plus 1 save and wipe = game over ), but you can use it in a two person party if you don't feel like putting any effort into combat ;p

    I've had a few good laughs out of this current season, last episode especially. This is more than I can say for most of the last few seasons, so there's definite improvement.

    Magic-Smithing I didn't like as much, it was a bit erm, 'flat' I guess ? Very little emotional resonance from the dialogue or fighting etc. I think it's just writing skill, so could improve with time. It was still ok though, will keep reading. Ar'Kendrithyst I caught up to current, and really...

    Spoiler up chap 35 or so? You were right with this recommendation though, I am partway through this one and really enjoying it. The plot has managed to surprise me at almost every turn, which is rare these days. Elliot is a dickhead, but I dig his sense of humor ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If that's the 'smoking gun' that shows how mean the devs are to them, then I think it's safe to dismiss the entire rant as pathetic whining.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Finding the mistakes and issues with something someone else built, and building something from scratch are very different skillsets. In my experience, there isn't a lot of overlap, think of authors vs editors for example.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I thought 3x1 was ok. Disco has many flaws, but it is super pretty, you have to give it that. I agree with Grizzle though, she like straight up murders 20 or so cops. They didn't appear to be particularly objectionable either, and approximately zero fucks were given as to their fate ;p

    I am a little vexed by the current Infinite Worlds arc - don't the wardens have some huge hate-on for people who do essence/stat stealing ? I seem to remember him having to prove that all his previous victims were willing. He clearly doesn't give a fuck about that now though ;p Also Zach is...

    Nah, the different serials vary quite a lot. TWI, for example, tends to be mostly self contained chapters rather than longer continuing arcs.

    The Boys

    The irony of all the whining about this is that in the show, 'Girls get it done' is *literally* a cynical marketing slogan from the PR branch of an evil megacorp. An additional level of irony is that none of the 'girls' in question actually manage to get *anything* done. It's unlikely this is...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    You call that pay to win ?! What they really need to is have popups when you are losing that show your character beaten and up and crying with the equivalent of 'insert coin to continue' plastered across the screen ;p

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    They are also one of the highest dps of the all the classes IIRC, mostly because of the ability that lets them learn any other classes spells - smite and endless quiver being particularly broken examples.

    Will Wight

    Lindon missed out on a prime opportunity for a guilt-free threesome there 8). Also Malice thinking that being married to Fury would be a reward is pretty funny, even if he did get the comedy highlight of the book Overall a great addition to the series.

    First EverQuest, 3 screenshots

    Yeah, there was some data mining going on, I data mined and maintained a list of item haste values because they were too stubborn to put important shit like that in tooltips. I agree completely that you aren't going to end up in that situation these days unless noone gives a shit about your game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Potency conduits are different for each class and spec, so it's not that. You only get 4 per spec though, so only being able to use 2 gets you some actual choice - with being able to use 3/4 you just skip the shittiest one, and everyone will use the same 3. Everyone will *probably* still try to...

    Mmm, maybe. It buffed the lowbies up to level 30, and presumably effects the entire army, no matter how big it is, so it's more a matter of using it at an incredibly shitty time in a more or less panic.

    I think the political organization of Delve is deliberate, in that it is looking at how individuals with godlike power shape society around themselves. The wardens are the result of one uber-powerful person deciding that she is going to enforce order on the world, something that could never...

    I think it's simpler than that - as part of the settlement they agreed to pay money to WOTC for 'licensing', and they can't afford to pay it any more.
