    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    PG kindof is. Despite having a fairly confused backstory, her characterization is pretty solid. Also a single, incredibly timeless and iconic uniform. Supergirl has a confused backstory, AND confused personality, and constantly changes her uniform. Current Supergirl is solid. its more of a...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    it has nothing to do with corps. the founder/owner of nexus is gay or trans or some shit and bit into wokeness 200%.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I'll admit... that actually looks good. what a great trailer. To say I previously was not interested would be an overstatement. Fuck Erza. Fuck flashpoint. fuck the dcu. It was all shit. The subtle reverse flash. They didn't even hint at it in the trailer. I mean they are going to...

    Metroid Dread

    Final verdict. ugh. Calling it quits on stage 2 of bird beak. I ended up getting most of the powerups. I think I missed 4 naturally. looked up how to get those 4. and grabbed 2 of them. The last two decided nope. two main factors here. I figured out by practicing myself, that you can...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    doing taxes. so decided to look at where I stood with crypto. tl/dr eth is a big winner, everything else lost. this as starting in 12/23/20. First, I looked at the price I sold my mutual fund at. $34.31. its current value is $31.25. so, if I had left my money in that account it would be...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Anyone get prime Remaster? I see reddit /gaming gushing over it. an even bigger visual upgrade then you might expect. not just textures, but geometry as well. (its also 39.99) face reflection example. wonder if this should get its own thread?

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    to be clear, they are remasters, not remakes. new textures, etc. not a full rework to modern standards. Newly remastered graphics, remastered soundtrack and quality of life improvements, including difficulty selection and save slots Touch screen mapping functionality for the Nintendo Switch™...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    hairstyles, clothing, glasses, etc are all very modern. is there anything in game that actually sets it in its prescribed timeframe? seems like the game is set in 2023, and just pretends its not to not mess with canon.

    Metroid Dread

    got to this game finally. and this is really hitting on a number of my frustrations. the game looks great. and I do love the 3d/2d mix. but, the emmi shit is annoying. "heres a stealth cloak, use it to avoid emmi!" stealth cloak is totally useless, since they path right over you every...

    Lockwood & Co.

    yeah, the world building and attention to detail is fantastic. It sets up rules for the ghosts, and follows them. both in practice, and consideration of effects on culture. old school ghost rules btw. running water, doorframes, iron, salt, etc. 1920's pagan occultism. peak lovecraft/howard...

    Lockwood & Co.

    Fantastic alt UK young adult show on netflix. Having a hard time coming up with a good comparison. ghosts are real, and can kill people. event happened in the 20s to cause it, seemingly. teenagers are sensitive and can see or hear them, to combat them. doesn't pull punches, people die...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    yeah, some great ideas. could have just been a theives guild movie, IN Fearun. some others, the various games exist. Icewind dale was a very cinematic story. would work easy as a movie. NWN2:mask of the betrayer could be adapted, but more complicated. Baldurs gate as well of course.

    same. I want one to take this shit seriously. A dragonlance. Take the IP seriously in the mainstream. that makes it cool and people enjoy it. keep the goofy injokes to your homegames. SAme with superheroes and shit. if you treat a character like a joke in the mainstream movie, thats all...

    The Last of Us

    I'll never understand the appeal of so many zombie movies, games, whatever. Didn't play the games either. so I guess I'll ask. where are all the infected coming from 20 years later? how are new people getting infected at all at this point? population should have died down to the point of no...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Coming to a close on this. in act 5, need to head to threshold. so far I'd rate this a 9/10. My favorite tactical rpg in some time. the last one I actually FINISHED was Divinity:OS 1, iirc. even kingmaker and divinity:0s 2, I never finished. os2 I petered out in late act 3...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    yeah, Matt himself is the soyest of the soy really. pegged by Marisha probably. 2/3rds of his npcs are they/them non-binary. attack wheelchairs as you note. He's 130% bought into the insanity. "we love you very much". "safe space" "representation". they stopped the games for...

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    I wonder how Elden ring fanboying would hold up to skyrim if they were closer together. Although I suppose some of it is just different players and playstyles. Elden ring is the rpg for action gamers. Skyrim is the rpg for immersive sim people.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I don't think thats how I would describe it. the game is a sandbox, so alternate playstyles are part of that core. I'd say theres lots of aspects of the game, some of them are flushed out, others are very barebones. I couldn't guess where the devs feel the target for BASE GAME Should be...
