    IT: Welcome to Derry

    Lovecraftian horror from beyond spacetime crashes to Earth in what would one day become Maine. The film and its sequel mostly had that. From what I've read this is going to reexplain that with an additional subplot involving Native Americans and their encounters with IT.

    Placeholder stats while you get the skill up and running would be my guess. The real mistake was featuring it in the promotional material.

    I didn't know shit and I liked it for the first half hour or so but part way through what we'll call Act 2 started to really set in. I'm still waiting.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Does this version of the game still level lock all the story encounters? In the original game if you went through the DD and then continued on to the last area you had an insane level advantage that trivialized everything.

    UNLESS YOU'RE A SABO The temptation to do something a little riskier at launch is high but I'm probably just going to go Elementalist. Planning around Farrul bloodline plus a Flame/Flesh is asking to get dicked.

    Slinger has had a couple little buffs along the way prior to this wand league too. The cumulative effect of all these little (and not so little) buffs is going to be major. There's also plain 'ol garden variety cast on crit provided the initial part does some hit damage. Could get quite a lot...

    "can be battered by your other abilities to do more shit" sounds like it's not going to be a standalone skill for sure. Maybe though.

    Buffing wand skills when every content creator is talking about how good they are and Ben is doing 2 stone practice runs each night is not something I was expecting.

    I think some of that is going to come down to whether or not your dad was in the navy. My grandfather swore like he never left. In A Christmas Story it's a plot point that Ralphie's dad "uses obscenity the way a painter uses oils" with Ralphie eventually slipping up and cursing himself. Regular...

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    I'm not lying to you. I don't think I have it lying around but I had a pulp detective novel from the 1930s I tried reading. A dude in a fancy suit and haircut comes in to the guy's office. He gets called a faggot. It was really surprising and I immediately went to check the copyright. Things are...

    Are we talking about fag? I've got a penny dreadful detective story from the 1930s that swings it around. It goes way back.

    I'm sure jewish parents used to spook their misbehaving kids with shit like that. My mom used to tell me she'd sell me to the gypsies.

    Any of these seem just fine with Farrul's spectre beast node. With this patch you don't need to rebuy them if they die either.

    Bloodlines as a way to fill out nodes on an ascendancy that isn't loaded with raw, generic power makes a lot of sense. Gladiator and Sab both are kinda specific.

    Reddit's kinda dumb. Spectres have been sweet as hell for a few leagues in a row now. This all might be enough to get them nerfed again but rocking massive +defenses fixes a hole they didn't really have to begin with.

    There's also I think it's fairly likely that there's a little "action speed cannot be modified" on a new unique item or two as well. I'm not a fan. Adding more of this gives them leeway to add more shit that fucks your action speed. I don't need another box to check a la Corrupted Blood...

    Boondock Saints, Layer Cake, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are all a lot of fun. I can go ahead and save you a watch of Boodock Saints 2 though. The sequel is horrendous.

    The aesthetic, hanging out with Jude Law and Jude's character's arc are all the best shit. "Will our hero get caught" and Uma Therman romance are all whatever. I like it more on a rewatch because I don't have to give a single shit about the murder mystery plot.

    Breach mobs look pretty aggressive and swarmy (as is custom) so I'm going to do myself a favor and not play something that has issues with that.
