    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    and yeah, Grimdawn is nice, in that it does its own thing. its in a interesting, and rarely touched time period. (which granted it does not embrace nearly as much as it should.) 1900's. its basically a post apocalyptic weird west, and Victorian england. the mechanics don't really start to...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    A few things from beta, that I have no idea if got fixed. 1. the willpower/rage mechanic will drive people away. I never learned how to use it in any meaningful way. Just kept making mages, with staves to regen willpower, and taking every passive/gear piece to increase willpower, to the...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    Rhykker has access to Full game, and made a vid on release.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    yeah, thats basically what I said. The game was retooled repeatedly. the current Beta is the first act. but missing tons of content involving skills, features, and things like attributes, and passives were completely unfinalized. the game is pretty, and has a very story heavy voiced...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    Starting a new run now, with Nexerlin installed, and a higher difficulty. Vanilla does peter out a bit "end game" as the core factions are static. They don't explore/colonies the outer rim. so, peaceful win is just kindof, "well I can defend myself, and do whatever I want". Nexerlin does seem...

    Stoneshard (Roguelike RPG)

    didn't try this yet. just watched some streams. Interesting, you guys say that. I kindof hated tangledeep. I was really let down. Haven't found a good one since Dredmor, imho. This looked like it was the best contender yet though. seems to have shared many of the same mechanics...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    autism probably, or maybe just childstar/never learned how to interact with people/low self esteem. He looks uncomfortable all the time. He does that thing, where they dont really get human interaction. He'll mimic jokes and behaviors of everyone else to the point of being overly repetitive...

    Star Trek: Picard

    The TNG Enterprise-D Galaxy class starship itself. HUGE. many time larger then previous ships. massive tech jump. First federation ship that can stand and beat Kinglon, Romulan ships. the Defiant is more of an assassin ship.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    one of the odd things I feel about the skill design is most of the skills are not based on the weapons like you suggest at all. 90% of the skills summon magic hammers, bows, machine guns, etc from the ether, and have nothing to do with your actual equipped item.. no stress test, no hands on...

    Star Trek: Picard

    thats kindof retarded. what the fuck would civilization even look like that far out? it'd be unrecognizable. Heck even the 200 years from Enterprise to TNG shows a civilization and technology advancement that is too stagnant compared to reality. (yes replicators, holodecks, etc. but...

    McMillion$ (HBO Documentary)

    This is on HBO btw. (so many services, you got to list what said thing is on, when posting about it imho.)

    Star Trek: Picard

    So I was just watching drinkers vid on episode 2. disclosure:I have not watched picard at all yet. But something caught my attention. He mentions the Romulan maid for Picard.. in France, lives in Boston, USA, and has an Irish accent. (lol) Are there public Teleporters? do they cost per...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    yeah, brands are a really hard thing to kill. First as they grow, fandoms grown, and start self perpetuating. they create content, that is largely separate from the Official source, but still promote the Brand. starwars, to cars, to sports teams, etc... Then, this fandom, spreads into the...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    I dont think "turn" is a very good word for it. its just alternating rounds, where you go first and get an attack token, and rounds they go first and get an attack token.
  15. Caliane

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    isnt that basically what I said? attack isn't really a phase, its a token. and you can attack any time you have control, if you have the attack token. which you can get and use as long as you have control. you can get it via Rally, which is just a basic tribal skill, as opposed to being ultra...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    yeah, I decided to jump in a spend some time looking at this. The game overall feels 25% different from magic. The eyeball math aid is a neat addition. you can also drag the mouse over multiple cards to select them all to attack at once. The mana per round is interesting. Seems like it goes...

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    nah. that sounds consistent to me, if the wording of barrier was "blocking creature takes 0 damage" So, it takes zero, so 100% of overwhelm goes right past it. And, then heals zero because zero damage was dealt the ACTUAL wording on barrier is "Negates the next damage the unit would take"...

    Star Trek: Picard

    yeah, didn't RLM discuss the fact Picard kept EVERYONE at arms length during his tenure, in a previous video? and the finale specifically had him join the bridge crew in playing cards for the first time? I do think its a bit funny so many shitlords want the Federation to be kept the Utopian...

    Star Trek: Picard

    the wiki keeps going. it explains some magic energy based race from the star trek mmo, did something to make the sun explode and travel ftl. This explanation is fine. Just the same nonsensical warp bubble type stuff you have to hand wave for any sci fi tech. trying to justify it with...

    The Netflix Thread

    im watching this now. yeah, racist entitled pos son is really grating. High school party with kids doing lines of coke... While again, repeated comments by the kids about racist, yokels. I'm pretty sure this shit is written by some LA retard that has never been to out to rural America...

    lol. yeah, that planet logging in at 1 millionth of a percent of the suns mass, had to really ramp up that explosion.

    Torchlight III

    yeah, interesting. Frontiers was just not working. the horizontal progression system was just not there. Sounds like this shift into a proper game might be good. frontiers was super shallow... but honestly going back and playing torchlight 2,so was that. their skill system has zero depth...

    Dracula

    sadly, I felt that fell a bit flat. Like, yeah, I like the idea. and its largely true.... but, we saw his castle. Remember the "its so fucking big you get lost and need a fucking map" castle? Same with the servant question, and we remember all Dracs servants were dead, and he didnt have...

    Dracula

    yeah, and to be clear. the fact the moved to modern times, is not the problem. the problem is, they moved the story to modern times, then proceeded to not actually DO anything with that premise.
  25. Caliane

    Star Trek: Picard

    my point is they only ever meditate on those ideas in very limited circumstances. They never do so on larger social, or civilization scales. The show is not very progressive in that regards. it doesn't ever pontificate how society would change based on any of these technologies, or...

    The Netflix Thread

    Ares. Dutch. White guilt the series masquerading as horror. Its shot well. It looks gorgeous. Plot is really weak however, as its spends episode after episode on??? im not even sure. nothing fucking happens. I could not even tell you where the time went. long pretty empty shots I...

    Star Trek: Picard

    trek has always been pretty bad about actually discussing, or integrating most of the real ground changing technologies. Like, the replicators, and teleportation. They just exist, and inexplicably don't have the massive civilization changing effects they would in reality. Same with digital...

    Doom: Eternal

    at least he admits the platforming has no place in doom, yet still raves about it... which reminder, theres platflorming in this too.

    Doom: Eternal

    I am really fucking suspect. "this game is so much better then doom 2016. it adds so much more lore and world building. a paradigm shift that all future fps will be shaped after. It adds a homebase, upgradable home, level/mission select from home, cut scenes." im sorry, isn't that the kind...

    Snowpiercer

    thats an interesting point. TNT/tbs were channels I as a Netflix user would have tended to watch. Their long form series, etc are very much the same content streaming services excel at.

    Star Trek: Picard

    yeah, but it was like Orville bad, not Discovery bad. Like ,sure we all give Orville high praise. But really thats just because its far better then it has any right to be, and in comparison to the trash of Discovery, and the last like 10 Star Trek entries. The Orville in a...

    Dracula

    yeah, basically. the problem with the show was it was just all over the place. Starts with Gothic horror.. but slips in modern jokey quips. ep 2 is almost a good gothic ship mystery horror... but same deal. ep 3 is just really all over the place. They set up Harker institute.. and drop it...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    I'm not sure I think carriers are expressly overpowered. I would probably just argue the cost, in terms of crew, maintenance is met a little too trivially. as, they ARE more expensive like that. needing way more crew. so needing crew space, and paying paychecks. and then crew dying during...

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    yeah. I hear nexerelin adds the ability to send npc fleets to deal with the constant pirate/luddic path station spam. Which seems worth.. as well as a bunch of other cool, faction/diplomacy elements. I never really learned how to play combat directly. I was doing shitty combat freighters...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It is really frustrating. this is a Galaxy full of crime syndicates, gangsters, pirates, slavers, Rogue nations. that these assholes can't write a story that does not revolve around the Resistance/Empire rehashed, Sith/jedi rehased, and/or Skywalkers rehashed is really pathetic. Solo could...

    The Witcher

    The first episode made a few very notable statements about time. "grandma won her first battle when she was 14!" Then, like 2 minutes into the scene change with Geralt and Renfri. "Queen Calanthe just won her first battle last week" or something like that. They were pretty careful about...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    yeah. its weird. like, that scene is the epitome of what RLM think of Rogue One, and "fanservice and AT-ST!", while they bitch about other starwars movies rehashing Tatooine over and over. Every other part of that move was the exact opposite. New characters, new planets, shady murdering...

    Subnautica

    wtf I discussed it in talking about DQ builders 2... Subnautica is pretty solid. That does sound awful. Anything Subnautica "needs" would be either to take a bit more from Terraria in terms of items/artifacts, or more dynamic combat. or, proper colony/base building. The...

    The Witcher

    The show def needed to spend more time with Geralt doing Witcher things. Hunting gryphons and shit.
