After a bit of research, I am pretty sure that is Castle of the Winds: A Question of Vengeance. Does this look familiar ?

Do you remember if it had separate screens for moving around and for combat ? Secret of the silver blades had a lot of wandering around in snow fighting various giants, but it wasn't top down. Having both fire and hill giants suggests a D&D game though, although the 90s were pretty casual...

I wasted a lot of time with that one, and it's successor Demise - good fun.

Mordor: Depths of Dejenol maybe ?

That's actually pretty high by steam standards, so kind of works to prove the opposite of your point. Take a look at some of your other games - Fallout4 only had 60% make it to level 5, New Vegas had some 40% reach level 10, Kingmaker had less than 50% ever establish a barony, Saints Row 3 only...

I'm pretty sure if mutants existed, that would actually happen, for entirely non-sinister reasons. The actuaries would have no idea what to set insurance premiums at, and the actual doctors would have zero idea about how mutant biology works - they are inherently unqualified to provide...

I dunno, I thought the first episode was kind of boring. It had it's moments, but I was struggling to stay interested.

Yes, it's not Elven mana specifically though, it is just the way mana works for everyone. The 'fluctuations' are also called out specifically as a side effect of limiting your mana. It's not impossible that you'd also get them trying to do the opposite (if that were even possible), but...

I think that's probably because she can't take a full step without tripping on her dress.

I just got around to watching the first few of this. First episode I was ok, not too bad, very serious business, wait what the ?! Second episode with the expressions on the military officers in the briefing while Braven talks about his first time with Izami, had me laughing harder than any...

Yeah, but the crawlers weren't shielded. Also the fremen are basically terrorist insurgents; trading one guy + laser for a crawler, it's fliers, and the bunch of troops guarding it seems like a win even if they *were* shielded. ( Even assuming the blast is big enough to kill the gunner - they...

I thought this was really good, worth it for the visuals alone IMO, but the rest of it wasn't bad. Fremen need to work on their tactics though - if you are going to bury yourself in the sand, at least wait til they get to you, don't jump out of the sand 30 yards away and then run the remaining...

The opposite really - it was actually pretty good storywise up until Fuller left ( most of the way through s1 ), after that it turns into more or less meandering nonsense. Kind of like Heroes, and for pretty much the same reason ;p

This is a weird show. I don't know that I'd count it as a 'mystery box' though, it seems to make it pretty clear what's going on.

Sneaking is kind of like Home Alone, but you are playing as the burglars. Your ninja twins learned everything they know about stealth from the kool-aid man.

He also has clearly fallen into the trap of not spending points on int - 'No, I can't take this money I need to remain low profile and secretive', *uses blindingly flashy loot box in public park then sits there staring at his loot for a while. Goes and opens portal to hell in a residential street*

I know nothing about the author's views on anything, but the character Maya is a literal social justice warrior - and she is also fucking crazy. Not even in story characters take her seriously.

This was 90% boring relationship drama. Not my thing I think.

Solo Leveling is good fun, but I can't help but lol at the thought of the logistics involved in dragging a multi-thousand ton block of granite into the gym every morning so the company head can 'warm up' ;p

That one is also true, but a bit more edge case. AFAIK for spells that two different classes both get ( e.g. both wizards and sorcerers get fireball ), if you have both wizard and sorcerer levels, it will use whichever the most recent one you raised is to decide if the fireball uses int or cha...

Some other stuff I have checked out over recent months - all of them have at least 1 'book' completed which makes a decent stopping point : Elydes - this is an isekai/litrpg, although it is quite different from the usual fare there. It's pretty laid back, for example the number of enemies...

The art design killed Blizzard ? That's... certainly a novel opinion. What's your line of thinking there ? It's been pretty consistent through their best and worst periods, as far as I know.

I've been alternating between Cosmoteer and Trouble Shooter. Cosmoteer is like a cross between factorio and starsector. It's nominally a space combat game, kill pirates, mine stuff, upgrade your ship etc; but the bulk of the game is really in ship design, which is the factorio part. You build...

The order for classes is mostly because some things you only get from your first class, mostly armor proficiency and saving throws. So if you start as a wizard and switch to warrior, you won't get heavy armor, but if you go the other way around you will.

Mmmm, first ep of this more or less left me indifferent. We'll see if it picks up in the next couple of episodes. I am confused by all the whining about lesbians though - the only one is Foster's daughter, no ?

What the shit ? I've seen worse plastic surgery results, but not coming from a better starting place. Getting from a 5 to a 7 is a believable goal for plastic surgery, getting from a 9 to something higher isn't going to happen ( has it ever ? ).

My suggestion for the "Snyder Cut" of this show - first 5 minutes of first episode, second last 5 minutes of last episode. Done.

The season started so well too, pity about the rest of it. Pet peeve - Aleda typed like 500 lines of code in 3 minutes, instead of obvious sabotage, a simple typo would stop the thing from working, and would be 100% explainable as an accident. If it failed to compile there wasn't enough time...

You could try the minimum subtlety version of thieving - disguise your guys, turn on non-lethal combat, beat him unconscious and then take all his stuff while he is out cold.

Solo Levelling - eh, it was ok, but pretty formulaic. will watch a few more to see if it picks up. Delicious in Dungeon - WTF ? Well, can't complain about it being unoriginal I guess - was entertaining despite the crazy. Chained Soldier - aka "Cuck: the anime". This is a no unless I get really...

Wrath of the Righteous and D:OS2 being better than BG2 is pretty non controversial I'd think - Underrail is a bold call though.

Yeah, it's pretty much goofy nonsense. It's not offensively stupid, to me anyway, but nothing about it makes any sense. I have trouble believing that at no point someone pointed out that having an undead lich king burning totally-not-uranium in a literal furnace to cause global warming because...

Yeah ep1 was pretty entertaining if kind of dumb ( usb ports ? reaaaaly ? ), I got cinemasins flashbacks while watching - 'She survives this. *DING*, This plan works. *DING* ;p ep2 was just kind of ehhh. Sometimes seasoned actors can pull off ridiculously stupid lines, but this was not one of...

The Helios peasants storyline never made sense from the very start, their salaries should be completely insignificant compared to the cost of getting them and the supplies they are going to eat to Mars in the first place. Are you going to spend 20 million sending some under-qualified desperate...

Piers Anthony is legitimately creepy as fuck though - just look at the lengthy instructions on how to fuck underage girls he included in Bio of a Space Tyrant for example. That tends to get a lot of hatred even to his relatively tame books like the Xanth series.

Aww, I was looking forward to the scene where they try to recreate multiple raid arrays out of a bag of unmarked harddrives and then manage to decrypt them somehow, then find they've stolen 800 terrabytes of log files and spend the next 10 years trying to find anything incriminating in them 8)...
