James T Kirk knowing he had a kid coming because Carol is pregnant already hinted that this is currently an alternative timeline. I suspect that La'an, currently experienced time traveler and hater of the Gorn, will end up doing something that creates the established timeline where Kirk doesn't...

My buddy made a Dragonborn Paladin and accidentally chose the Dark Urge origin. He said he feels like Dexter.

Yeah college of Lore is what gives you access to spells of any class. My Bard level 3 spells were 'meh' (I mostly used the Ward as an offensive AE) so it works well.

For my first playthrough (there's is a 0% chance it will be the only one) I am playing a Bard and man... he's owning both the roles of 'thief' and 'cleric' while still being able to talk his way out of a jam. The third level spell 'Warden of Vitality' has been clutch. Picked it up at level 6...

With respect to melee getting in range... In general Larian has done things with magic items in particular that I feel Wizards of the Coast could learn from. D&D 5e has been overly influenced by Chris Perkins and his whole 'magic abilities are plentiful, magic items are scarce' mentality. I...

No spoilers but I feel someone should do a wellness check on anyone who has reached Act 3. I have (checks cloud) 50 hours on the game and I just got to Act 2. The number of times I have gone "hmmm I wonder if I can... OMG I can?!?" is crazy. Larian has said that making an expansion...

The Klingons singing was A+. Uhura's song was easily the highlight of the episode, which makes sense given that the actress herself was in a major Broadway musical that won a bunch of awards a few years ago. SNW is taking these big swings and while they don't always pay off they are at least...

I have been using the Cube sidearm ever since I got it and never even really considered anything else. I am a sucker for infinite ammo plus the energon-cube shield has amazing offense and defense utility. Gun wise I've been using the 150 round magazine into Medic gun the whole game. Never...

Ive had a bit of a crashing problem. Never was an issue in Early Access but it crashed three times last night doing just normal stuff. Did a full file check and everything was copacetic so not sure what is going on, but I am now saving quite frequently. Decided to be vanilla as fuck with my...

Don't worry, there is zero chance of that happening despite the fact that you radiate 'use me daddy' bottom-bitch vibe. There are enough changes from EA that I'm enjoying the first act despite having played through it at least 5 times before. One thing to note is that the game is...

It still doesnt have full Steam Deck support, but its running fine on it.

In the process of levelling Explorer I am playing through enough Adventures that I am managing to see / do all the various other permutations of the worlds. I guess I could have just stood in one spot and levelled it up that way, but that seems dull as hell. Anyway BG3 is out now so I doubt...

Chris Metzen voicing Avizandum was a surprise. Did he voice him in earlier seasons?

Just introduced a new person to Gloomhaven via the Digital version and the only downside is that he's now like a crack-addict jonesing for a fix. The digital version hitting consoles in September is going to be a really big deal and bring a lot more people into tactics style games played with...

They are now recommending that early access people delete all saves and then the game itself ahead of time to help prevent any file conflict issues.

I think it was a knee jerk reaction to the litany of things needed. Yeah you can get them all by doing all the things, but once you have done all that why bother even playing an Archon? That being said, I have to wonder if the max trait points guy ever spoke to the 'imma put in a bajillion...

I liked the abilities of Archon...but fuck doing all that

I actually got to level 10 on my medic before I managed to unlock any of the non-basic engrams. Medic/Summoner is a pretty nice combo since you can quickly heal back the health you spend to summon the critters.

Boimler scream in real life was A+. The whole thing was amazingly fun and showcases the anthology-esque nature of true episodic television. Give me Strange New World over Discovery anyday.

The story I was told was that the first Baldurs Gate started development before the Complete Barbarians Handbook was released in 1995 (that is what added Barbs to 2e). By the time the game came out (1998) Barbarians were in 2e but still not part of the core game per se. 2nd edition was a...

Surprise! Netflix stealth-dropped this Saturday as part of their Comic Con presentation...

The Lower Decks / Strange New Worlds crossover episode dropped today as a surprise

The tutorial was good inasmuch as I had totally forgotten the plot and theme of the original. They give enough of a prompt to kickstart the archival neurons without going full Basil Exposition on ya.

Well more of the expanded universe coming back into focus...

Did anyone test any part of this patch? I mean within literally 2 mins of a Helltide it was clear something was drastically changed about the shard drop rate.

Apparently all this B5 stuff is because some douche nozzle at Warner Brothers retired. This person *hated* Babylon 5 and was in a position to make sure that absolutely nothing was done with the property for 20 years. Once they left the building everything was possible.

Watched this finally. It tried to do Flashpoint and Crisis simultaneously while rebooting the DCU and serving up memberries for nearly every time DC has been a TV/movie property. The best parts were any time someone other than Ezra was on screen. The visual effects were garbage.

The most infuriating thing about Nightmare dungeons is that I can kill bosses with ease but still run the risk of failing due to getting one-shot by trash mobs.

There is a special outline for an ability with a cool down that is ready to use but is still active. I believe this is because re-using the ability resets the 'while active' back to zero but I haven't tested it. I've been using the Earthbender Druid for a couple weeks now and it's so strong...

So happily bopping around at level 75 doing Tier 30 Nightmare Dungeons but I inspected a few level 100s at an event and their gear was about the same item level (~800) as my own. I take it that drops stop getting better past a certain current tier? It seems bonkers to me that someone could...

Lee Pace is in great shape... Holy cow. Glad to see we are still getting a lot of Empire, though I somehow doubt the genetic dynasty will survive this season.

Everyone is just recycling all the Nightmare Sigils that have bullshit mods on them right? Enough of them drop in each dungeon that we always have someplace to go with readily manageable modifiers and we shitcan the rest. If they were clever they would make some of the mods convey an overall...

Those companies don't hate you, they don't know you. Stop projecting your Karenflake need for self-validation onto everyone else.

https://cephalofair.com/blogs/blog/cephalofair-games-announces-gloomhaven-buttons-bugs Solar Opposites 'The Wall' as a solo game...

Jill is barely a character. Her entire 'arc' is simplistic at best and for 99% of the game she is a total cypher. There were several fights where I saw a big Ice effect go off (with no actual effect on the hps of the target mind you) and only then remembered that she was with me. The entire...

Considering you only have 6 Eikon abilities loaded at any one time there really are a ludicrous number of them.

Characters in the game don't seem to be as bothered by the destruction of the Mother Crystals as I feel they should be. Their entire society is based around the damn things and using them for day-to-day magic so I would think losing even one of them would be a really really big deal. Then again...

No spoilers but I don't feel like I'm playing FFXVI so much as 'watching' it. The gear makes no damn sense, the abilities are an IQ check, and the side quests are beyond insipid. Nearly all the major 'tactical' decisions in major battles are made for me by a series of QuickTime Events. Do...

This new trend to completely delete a show to take a tax write off is just... weird.
