epi6. witches house. is ok. again, too many plot threads. characters. it introduces all these characters it does nothing with. Lots of rules I don't understand. the main character messing with things he doesn't understand and not asking questions. bonus points for woke casting, but not...

spronk actually means epi4 here btw, with the ugly chicks. episode 5 is pickmans model. which itself is also a too long disjointed mess. its a very loose adaptation of Pickman's Model, from Lovecraft. but, greatly extended out, adding all sorts of pointless filler, and Lovecrafting themes...

I mean, yeah. thats usually how anthologies go. not quite done with epi4 yet. but 75% through or so, this is some real "tales from the darkside"/Creepshow shit. Very solid. we will have to see if they stick the landing. edit: sadly, no they don't end it well. If it just ended after she...

epi 2. was meh. actor overacting. (David Hewlett.) I think the story lost its way with, rats>giant rat>zombie cultist back to rats. like, it would have been solid with just rats. or, if the rats, and even giant rats leading into the cult then staying with that, would have been something...

heres his post on that.

yeah. I was saying this in the "what are you playing thread". possibly why this was bumped, and you gave it a shot too? I had 100% forgotten how good Skyrim really was. So much content packed into every inch. Some issues. the UI is shit. clearly consolitis. I remember back in the day...

Who fucking knows? I think this is one of those times you have to remember Hollywood is full of cokehaed, pedo, rapist, narcist assholes. If you or I, were in charge at Warnerbrothers/DC, or Netflix/witcher, we'd think, Cavil is the only reason either of these properties exist, surely we can...

yeah, that too. questioned that at first as well.

yeah. it hinted at mythology and story, but didn't actually explain anything. first lady, says the candlabra is shit, and worthless. but, is fiddling with the candles, and hands it over. either she did know and was lying, or just was somehow ignorant about them? she didn't lie when seeing...

probably more UK+Scandinavia+Iceland. Can't think of any real USA allusions. Like, the north is flipped. Ibben is Iceland. but its to the east, instead of the west. and the entire top of Europe/Asia is missing... and is instead attached to Westeroes, and north/northeast. Summer isles is...

nah. Via gamepass. Special edition+anniversary edition, and all dlc. I've never actauly played oblivion, morrowind, or daggerfall believe it or not. I'm not really sure how I missed them all. I know alot of people insist morrowind is better still. for daggerfall, yeah, ,theres a few...

my favorite part is, he wasn't even a racist. The black super said racist shit to him, and he just responded "hey fuck you". Then the Mexican lady did it as well. and he just said "hey fuck you, if you are going to insult me, do it in English." They can't help themselves. Imagine it was a...

for referance: http://readonlinefreebook.com/the-fellowship-of-the-ring-the-lord-of-the-rings-1-s19-c18-h Frodo says he can't read it, and Gandolf says its elvish, west of Middle earth, and elder. I don't think it was sindarin. but yes, Gandolf does say, its literally written on the door. If...

Idk, I was level 30... pretty far along. if I can't figure this out, might be done with it again. a real shame. especially If I have no guarantee it won't happen again. Its not even like I was relying on quick save or autosaves, or overwriting previous saves. no. I have like 40...

of course, as soon as I post that. like, literally loading the game up while posting... suddenly my saves are busted or something. Every time I try loading a save on that character, crash to desktop. I can start a NEW game, and load that character, but none of the previous. no mods at all.

its not that they walked away. its just that dev time on indie games is never as fast as you would like. Slow dev time on this was obvious right from the get go. Especially true with Early access. Always a huge potential problem. Slow time. and god forbid you have to pivot game design or...

I'm giving Skyrim another shot. I bought it on original release. put in a decent amount of time, but never finished the main story. and I'd guess only explored like 45% of the world. Honestly, because its just so damn big. I never bought any of the rereleases. full prize for SE? fu...

yeah, i was going to clarify that. in the books, its 17 years. in the movie, ??? who knows. theres no indication it's more then a few days/weeks.

these are wrong. Those are largely describing Author inserts. which are not mary sue's. or, Author pets. which are also not mary sues. (welsey crusher) Traditionally, A mary sue is a fan insert character. Its characterized by having inexplicable knowledge on all topics, being overbearing...

The fellowship of the Ring has a couple timeskips it doesn't sell very well. Bilbo's 111th birthday is 3001. Gandolf gives the ring to Frodo, and leaves. He returns in 3018, with "is it secret, is it safe?!" It was 17 years. Frodo is 50, when they leave for Bree. I forget the exact...

is there another thread on this? I swear there was. And I made a comment on how weird it is, hollywood makes SO many movies about cannibalism.

yeah. The game IS great and they have added so much over time. but, its largely just improvements to already existing things. No real additions to features to bring it all together with a nice wrapped bow. Flushing out the kingdom management is really needed imho. The endgame is most...

Bannerlord v1.0.0 full release. no real fanfare.. kindof a wet fart sadly. no major push among streamers, etc. The 1.9 patch is NOT a massive feature patch. just another iteration of progress. added some voice over, achievements.

I got a SL titan like a year or two ago. 6', 200lbs. I use it for games, and art with a arm mounted wacom at 30 degrees or so. Don't have much to say on the posture/comfort. just fine, like most other chairs. its very firm. got the cloth version.. and the cats are tearing the back up...

ori has a somber but hopeful tone for sure. theres definitely sadness through much of it. but in the end, new life.

the multiplayer survival games are typically the go to for that. conan, v rising, ark, etc.

Mauler, rags and Metal have a long talk on it. They kind of hate it. short version: $40 game that lasts 3hours, with no replay value. 90%walking, with multiple areas, segments done expressly to waste time. a couple bare bones puzzles. limited, terribly implemented fps elements...

the meat circus was famously bad. it wasn't the final, but the water escape of Ori that really pissed me off. the sudden shift into a forced vertical scrolling race. and it auto-saved so you were forced into this new playstyle until you beat it. its not insanely hard really. its just being...

ha. yeah, calamity was made back in what, 1.3.5? back before lots of summoner stuff was added to vanilla. they wanted to fill in gaps clearly. But summons are always 90% shit. either too slow, or grounded, or get stuck on walls, etc. And usually you only have 1choice at any tier, so have to...

Came back since realizing I hadn't finished that master run. ooph golem was giving me a hard time. took like 13 trys. granted, most were dry runs with no buffs to figure out which weapons were working best, and get patterns down. Finally got two kills in a row.. while 3rd with buffs still...

Everyone is clearly wrong about this. The Wizard/stranger is Saruman. Nori is Gandalf. Like the Doctor her first life was as a woman. Nori is going to die at somepoint and be reborn as Gandolf the Grey.

Giving this another shot. demo characters were wiped.. ugh.. char select is fun. it changes with act. I figured out clicking on the health/mana orbs directly displays health/mana as numbers. no option in the settings.. weird. Also, I was stumped on trait constellations in the demo.. I...

yeah, summoner is just weak really. iirc, the master world, started summoner, but really just kept falling back on magic to actually kill things. if you don't care about "class". and mix and match theres lots of powerful options at every level. Chlorophyte bow iirc is very strong. my...

checked my old worlds to see if I could figure out which setup I had for mech bosses. didnt quite figure it out. But did realize I appearently never finished the master world. Looks like I stopped on golem. iirc, I got sidetracked doing the dungeon defender stuff. I think i used flower of...

been a while, so Im not 100% on what the optimums strats are. iirc, eyes you did still want a decent long arena. 3-4 screens or so long at least. iirc, slime mount helps alot. can outright bounce on them to swap back. yes potions. regen, iron skin... fishing ones too though. endurance...

Tiny hitbox is cheating.

Finished it. No resolution at all. Just sequel bait, with no real hook in the first place. I can't recommend this to anyone at all for any reason.

here's ACG's thoughts on Scorn. tl/dr. its an atmospheric walking sim. very niche. free on gamepass.

ep7 almost had an interesting twist. but, then just gave it up for a dream sequence. ep8. so far is the best. cult stuff taking off. Natsuki, gives the best "ghost story". show does a great job of making it personal as well. Technically all the stories are. Something I hadn't mentioned...

very much yes. It gets mentioned alot when discussing gorey movies etc. But, its not like Martyrs, Hostile, Terrifier, etc. which are just gore porn. Bone tomahawk is first and foremost a Western. But then, its a Western crossed with "the hills have eyes". Great actors. Great filmwork.
