Oh I agree whole-heartedly, just figured I'd link this fan theory because it makes the headcanon a lot more tolerable.

There's this whole article about Shadowlands lore that goes with the theory that the real villain all along was the Primus, and honestly it makes the story about 100 times better. Which means it's still shit but it's got some corn in it and it doesn't stink up the entire room anymore, just most...

I saw it today. I was never a huge fan of the first movie which was okay but way overhyped for obvious reasons not related to the actual quality of the movie. Without going into heavy spoilers, Chadwick's absence is sorely felt in this movie, both in the story and in a meta way. He was a good...

With the anniversary XP bonus at 18% and the current XP buff Winds of Wisdom at 50%, I've been leveling alts from 50 to 60 in a handful of hours just doing world quests and bonus objectives. If you add the Darkmoon Faire 10% XP buff and War Mode at another 10%, that's 88% XP bonus, nearly...

Yet some more Luclin stuff, trying to work on making small groups representing factions, with some variety in lore NPCs or poses for more generic characters. The Coterie of the Eternal Night, a gathering of vampyrs led by Valdanov Zevfeer who prey on travelers in the Tenebrous Mountains...

I should receive my 3D printer tomorrow, so hopefully I'll figure out how to use it within the next few weeks and make some of those a reality with some paint. Once I see how hard/easy it is to get them printed and painted to a satisfying degree, I'll think about what you said, but I have...

Some more Luclin stuff.

Since the new expansion reveal is about Luclin, I figured I'd make a few Luclin mobs. Threw in a Luclinite orb on the Shissar as a reminder of the awful awful Vex Thal key quest.

Here's some Steamfont Mountains stuff. Someone has to fill up that zoo right?

Here's some Crushbone stuff.

I got you fam.

Thank you!

Technically he would be wearing a Ring of the Ancients, which is so large it becomes a wrist item for the player races. It's not really visible but the cyclops above has a ring on his left hand. And no he wouldn't be wearing the boots, the boots are just the quest reward at the end. But it was a...

I made a more traditional ancient cyclops for funsies too. I'll try my hand at some of the notable newbie zone NPCs and see if I can make it work, the options are not as limitless as one might hope especially with some tints or some body shapes (can't make enormously fat folks so I'm not...

Here's an ancient cyclops wearing J-boots stretching it.

Thank you, I'm very happy to see some people are enjoying these. I've made a few more, I decided to try a new approach to making these, making specific named characters by adding notable loot on them to make them more recognizable rather than just a random mob. A few inventions at times too to...

Made a few more.

I made a less fabulous Venril, along with a Drolvarg and a Guktan Paladin. I'm probably going to grab a 3D printer soon so I hope to actually make some of those into real miniature figures someday.

Been playing Blasphemous, which I had somehow completely missed. Very hardcore metroidvania with some souls-like mechanics and difficulty. Extremely bleak story centered around extremist spanish catholicism. Pixel-art backgrounds and characters are gorgeous, and the music, also inspired by...

Technically we have no way to know if we ever saw dwarven women on screen because Gimli says they look so much like the dwarven men that outsiders can't tell them apart, which gave way to the legend that dwarves just sprout from the earth (which in a way they did as they were sculpted from stone...

The community in these forums and this thread in particular is hardly the target demographic to "learn more about Sauron" from a fucking TV series. We already read the books and several here, myself inluded, have read the books based on the letters written about sticky notes crumped in J.R.R's...

To be fair, they're correct in the sense that this was basically Sauron's "origin story" (not really his actual origins, but showing how he was/acted before he was the Lord of the Rings.). Now that his duplicity has been shown, he'll soon gain enough power to not need ruses and schemes to get...

It's definitely worth it, however keep in mind there's also a physical bundle for Ori 1 + 2 on Switch, so that may end up being cheaper depending on your local Amazon prices.

Yeah there's a lot of them, I guess mostly because they don't necessarily require high quality graphics, it's mostly about level design and layout so that allows for more indie companies. Definitely highly recommend both Ori games and Hollow Knight, maybe Hollow Knight first so you can rinse...

Been playing Haak, an indie Metroidvania on Switch (and other platforms). Very quick gameplay and satisfying combat with deflection and dash attacks, nothing too deep but moving around feels a lot like Ori except you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and explore ruins of civilization. The...

Just finished The Mummy : Demastered on Switch. Simple and to the point Metroidvania game, very much like Super Metroid or Axiom Verge. Cool pixel art and animations, nothing incredible but it works. It's run and gun mostly, a little exploration, not too many collectibles (just skills, upgrades...

Isn't this like 5 years before ANH? Bail Organa has been a member of the Rebellion since right after ROTS (and was already against Palpatine before that), so that's 15 years before this show. If it's going to be an Organa recruit it would be a teenage Leia. Hopefully she runs a bit faster with...

Finished Yoku's Island Express on the Switch. Fun little Metroidvania game, reminds me of Hollow Knight except very colorful, but there is barely any combat in this so the similarities stop there. It's a mix of exploration/platforming and pinball, of all things. It works in context, and it's a...

But that flashback took place before Revenge of the Sith, so what he said was true... from a certain point of view.

Just played and finished F.I.S.T. Forged in Shadow Torch on Switch. Very solid Metroidvania game, quite similar to Ori in terms of gameplay and abilities but the aesthetic is very steampunk / post-apocalyptic stuff with anthropomorphic animals; you're a bunny rabbit with a huge mech fist...

I'd totally play an up-to-date graphics remaster/remake of the original Street Fighter 2, plus the boss characters included so what, Super Street Fighter 2 ' or something? Then they can add a zillion DLC characters and I don't care about them at all, but I have some nostalgia for the original...

Ever since Street Fighter 2, yes. It was in the manual, but in game it was E. Honda.

Yes I forgot about that one, it looks pretty cool, never heard of it before but I'll definitely check it out on Switch. The visuals and music reminded me of Link's Awakening except for the isometric angle.

Speaking as a shameless Nintendo fanboy, this Nintendo Direct was a steaming pile of shit. No idea who thought it was a good idea to cram it full of farming simulators and generic weeb RPG's... Only news worth it for me was Sifu on Switch (it's out already for months on other systems but I...

Thanks very much for the kind words, I may eventually print some of them once I grab a 3D printer, but would be delighted to see some people give them a try at printing/painting if some already have the equipment for it. I actually made a few more of those, but I'm open to suggestions if you...

Well, I don't have any plans for Quarm at the moment, but I have a future Nagafen and perhaps Zlandicar looking at me on my desk, judging me silently because I haven't had any time to devote to that kinda hobby in several months. Someday though! :)

Been playing Two Point Campus, having a blast, it's very similar to Two Point Hospital but they've refined a lot of things and improved on just about everything. Fair warning though, the game (at least on Switch) crashes pretty often (like once an hour or so) once your campus gets big enough...

Scavenger hunt is a fun concept, hope they do more of those. Funny thing too is that Silk 2 movie they had to censor the nudity in their video obviously, but the entire movie is on Youtube and completely uncensored for the shower scene. Algorithms, man.

What I find funny about TLJ is that one of its few memorable (not necessarily in a good way) moments is the "Holdo maneuver" where she launches her capital ship at lightspeed through the Supremacy and wrecks it... and then they totally undermine it with the next movie by saying it was a one in a...

Yeah, tried to make a giantess because she's really tall in-game but all the models on that figure maker have huge man hands and feet, tried to give her an otherwordly look but she does look like she just finished participating in the women's swimming olympics and then put on her robe and wizard...
