    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.

    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.

    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...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Just to be contrary, I'd suggest the argument that it's more plausible that androids can mind meld than Vulcans can, because Vulcans don't have wifi. This is, of course, completely ridiculous, but so is the original argument.

    I thought this was a good start to the season. It doesn't have much in common feel-wise with season 1, but that's ok - if it was a new show starting with that as the pilot I'd be really optimistic. I am disappointed, but unsurprised at the lack to T&A. With even Starz letting down the side...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah. I'll give them credit though - the scenery they've shown in the screenshots etc is very pretty too. The intro video was also top notch. The voice acting was excellent, the terrain system seemed fun - bashing the rogue off the box and over the edge of the walkway was hilarious. It...

    I disagree - the morale effects of mana peal and essence grind on alts has pretty much eliminated all but the most hardcore in my guild from maintaining them. I have plenty of 120 alts - all of them undergeared, with no essences. Sure I could spend 3hours doing the cloak quest, then chain-run...

    Heh. I find reviews like 'waaaaah, diversity!' and 'SJW rabble rabble liberal conspiracy' to be particularly unhelpful, because just because someone hates something for reasons you find stupid, doesn't mean that it's not terrible. I watched the first episode of this and it was ok, but I don't...
