    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    My go to strategy for Typhon kills is hust stacking health and DPS. I dont even deal with his mechanics; just stand by him and attack. I do dash through the head slams. Honestly, forcing the Zeus infusion that requires 5 air but sets minimum hit damage to 50 trivializes it so hard.

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    I cannot believe any of you would start a TV show based on anything that Fat Fuck hasn't finished yet. He is never finishing this series, just like he is never finishing Winds.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I just got two Olympus + a Chronos kill in a row and it was all about forcing the Demeter boon rarity buff. You can get away with the rare one if it is one of your first two rooms.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I have defaulted to the Demeter Epic charm to start every run and I aggressively reroll to try and find the "boons rarify after X encounters" because it may be the best secondary boon. I have gotten it at Heroic twice and boons just pop off after 3 encounters. Bananas.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    Same here. Now I am begging for a cast that I can aim and stack a ton of Olympian debuffs on. Observations: Once again, I plan most builds around getting the correct Daedelus Hammer upgrade....which can screw me. Aphrodite is my go to start for melee because of the damage. Neptune's dash...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    OK guys, I came back here to do a giant mea culpa. This is probably the game of the year. It is all that Hades was plus more. After playing myself, the voice acting is great and not at all out of line. Gameplay is addictive and fantastic and the new systems all seem to enhance the play...

    Harry Potter

    JKR approved of all of the woke shit in this new series, btw; she is the worst kind of liberal and deserves every bit of hate she gets on the trans issue because that is about the only good position she holds.

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    I watched a streamer play it and the gameplay looks as good as ever. But goddamn, the dialogue (and voice acting) is insufferable. All of it. Every single time someone was talking it felt like forced garbage.

    Alien: Earth

    If they called this Alien: Earth, but just had the eggs shown menacingly the whole time and focused on the other creatures it would have been 10000x better.

    Alien: Earth

    Also, the Alien slowly chasing the female captain scene was just insulting. Also, the contemporary music was out of place and off putting every time.

    This was awful. Just the worst fucking writing. Also, why spend money on action scenes if they are terrible and lack action.

    The Fast Food Thread

    For those that like Little Caesar's pizza (and I love it); the new Crazy Crust is amazing. It is simply their garlic-butter and parmesan cheese from the Crazy Bread on the crust of their pizza, but that is fucking money and I cannot believe no one thought of it earlier.

    It is hilarious how that article makes it sound bad that the show is over. This was an abortion of the story and should only be brought out to show other services the exact way to fuck up a guaranteed money maker.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    This is where we find out that it has actually been cheaper to do practical effects (that look good) for a while now and that Hollywood just got lazy because shitty CGI is easier to coordinate.

    Path of Exile 2

    I am actually shocked that they changed their stance on async trading/AH instead of doing the thing that was actually fun: Making crafting something that everyone could participate in and to stop worrying about the 1% of players that are going to craft the best shit and complain that they...

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    I have never played Nosferatu in VtMB; however, I want to play it more and it is more memorable because it exists. If they are willing to go that far for the world, then it is a world that feels more real. VtMB is a better game because the Nosferatu path is in it.

    Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines sequel? Remake?

    Nothing says "we have a room full of fucking incompetent writers that cannot walk and chew gum at the same time," as leaving out the two clans whose stories and gameplay would have to be way more than a few more dialogue options and voice lines. "We have to create ALTERNATE pathways for one...

    Alien: Earth

    They have called him a Cyborg a few times on the show; so he is different from a Synth, but we don't know exactly how. If it is the traditional definition then he is more human with robotics (like the funky tool arm). This is why he had to wear the oxygen and get in the safe room for the crash...

    Alien: Earth

    This is where we differ, and an argument I'm probably going to have in the new Resident Evil (2026) thread. Why do we expect these movies to recreate the things we like beat for beat when they have proven they cannot do it? RE was a 40 hour puzzle game, it is not going to fit into a 1 1/2...

    A month out from a full year since the 9 house bulk purchase and a ton has changed. I got divorced, but it was amicable and I kept 14 out of the 18 rentals. I decided to run the the numbers because I can be far more aggressive with them now that they are mine with no other input needed on any...

    Resident Evil (2026)

    It is, but you have to admit that you KNOW they can do RE better as a movie. Make it a little less slapstick and a little more like The Crazies with Olyphant (still holds up fantastically, BTW) and you have a winner.

    Alien: Earth

    I don't understand how some of you can just be endlessly pessimistic about these things. Is this even 75% of what I expect from the Aliens franchise? No Is it the best 2 hours to come out of the Alien franchise since Alien 3, THIRTY THREE GODDAMN YEARS AGO? Yes If you cannot have fun with...

    Alien: Earth

    The black kid joking around with everyone is so good. Also, Olyphant is the best acted part (of course) but also has the best lines. "Animals can get scared, you are not animals anymore, keep walking."

    Alien: Earth

    That scene was the worst in the entire two episodes, and really made me think it was going to be terrible. But then, the rest of that scene with the Alien in action was really good. One thing I don't understand is them constantly framing the Alien as scary to the audience. Dramatic music and...

    Alien: Earth

    Well we know he can see through their eyes, which they are either too young or ignorant to know right now. Also, his line to Wendy about following orders was a little ominous as well.

    Alien: Earth

    Second episode is good, too. Somehow the show has made some characters that act well enough to care about. There is still some dumb shit, and the laziest part is the Alien is strong or weak enough to move the plot forward. But I want to watch the next episode for everything *except* the...

    Alien: Earth

    He has all the lines of a synth that is going to decide humans are lesser and not worth saving over aliens. He and the black synth are the two best characters by far. I appreciate the fact that the kills are also diverse. Every color and sex is getting butchered.

    Alien: Earth

    The first episode is decent. I like the mystery of the other specimens more than the xenomorph. All of the synths act well, the new hybrids being kids is also done well. The first scene on the alien starts dumb as fuck with the slow head profile that seemsto defy physics moving backwards, but I...
