    yeah, started this this morning. very slow burn. Very intriguing.

    DOTA: Dragon's Blood

    yeah, this plays out as a grand adventure. the one thing that would be required to elevate it, is to slow down and spend more time with the characters. make it more personal. its not devoid of that... but, its also not Arcane nor Avatar the last Airbender. Selemene and Invoker are...

    DOTA: Dragon's Blood

    season finale is no joke. named characters die. Solid adventure up to that point. Might have to stew on it a bit. but, first impressions are quite high I'd say. brings in Rylai, pangolier and Lina as game characters. Vanari and Auroth are new I think. Fymryn's life is suffering and...

    Arcane

    I feel that too on some level. But I wonder what parts of this will get homaged? does any of it really stand out as iconic in the same way as the motorcycles, or destruction of Tokyo?

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    Witches existing in media, is not the same as the counter cultures that formed, during the 80's and 90s. I mean, fuck, I think we'd be all ok with some Wiccans, if they were all trad wife hedgewitches. Bewitched did have its impact though. Bewitched, Sabrina and Wendy the Good little witch...

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    yeah, Wicca, and "witches" have had a major resurgence. Feminism was a big part of it. mysticism, holistic, and astrology... Harry potter is not the cause, but "gateway drug" is fair. But, right along those lines.. The craft 1996. Buffy the vampire slayer 1997. (1992) HP books started in...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    yeah, I bailed on exandria unlimited after a few. I thought the guest actors were all fine. but Aabria was a terrible GM. she was 100% rule of cool, no rules, "sounds fun, I'll allow it". was just pure chaos. didn't do a good job setting up any plot hooks up early. the players were kindof...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    its not that I don't like Liam really. vax was too much... he was a drag. Caled was fine 90% of the time. I knew I was forgetting someone. laura. ha. shes one of my favorites. I think she has good range with her characters.

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    its enjoyable for a few reasons. one, they stay in character. so it really plays out like a radio play. As opposed to most regular dnd groups that drop character and spend 20 minutes discussing how to do a fight, or whatever, in the 2 seconds before a fight, or what every player should do...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    yeah. they are all pros. so, while doing it live, they were constantly dropping character, etc.. makes sense for them to get in character and be more refined, for this. But seems a bit over done honestly. Wonder how the script handles Ashley constantly leaving. or, do they just have her...

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

    i'm older. my teenage book reading days, were King, Barker, Tolkien, a few sword and sorcery stuff (oddly, not big names.), etc but yeah, I never really understood the harry potter success. its so childish. I can respect the movies for how well made they are. special effects, direction...

    any day now! we did finally break through the 200 day moving average for eth. it had been going up steadily. 3400 is the current. if it keeps going, thats certainly really bad news, but 200 day could also really be a turnaround point. what are people thinking about eth2.o in the first...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    roofs count as inside for the purposes of any "inside only" building, such as storage, weapon crafting etc. can put them all up there fine. if you are asking about acid rain, then yeah, I think they would get hit, so you'd need to put a tent over it. which you can do. most inns do that.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    its more action oriented then the tactical you are suggesting. you can't loadout your army with gear or anything. higher teir units are better then lesser, but trying to rock paper scissors with special troop types, doesn't mean much either. especially if you are not personally organizing...

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    theres a bunch of options for this. 1. you can join another kingdom. and let them command anyway. when in an army, you'll be in charge of a formation. 2. when commanding yourself. you have lots of tools for telling infantry, archers, etc. each what to do. formations, charge, advance, hold...

    yeah. I enjoyed it well enough. it doesn't get much love among the internet critics though.

    Wheel of Time

    phisey gave you a downvote... while he LOVES Arcane. which did just that. invented new characters for the show. some of which are primary characters. completely changed others. Vi's amnesia is totally gone. what was a core part of her character, and conflict.

    headsets and shit are just too cumbersome. no one likes helmets and holding your arms up while playing games is tiring. Vr just needs to be much more comfortable for it to take off.

    Don't Look Up (2021)

    I'm not sure who the big tech guy was really supposed to be. all of them? stage presence, personality, etc was all Jobs. but weird to parody jobs after hes gone. elon, branson, and bezos all are involved in space travel. do note, this was made pre-covid. before the left decided they...

    The Witcher

    Final verdict, I would give it a 10/10 on production. 6/10 on story. In the end, its fun to watch, and look at. but, I don't really give a shit about any of the characters really. the writing is way too inconsistent.

    Necesse -solo dev indie Terraria style settlement survival builder

    /shrug. its very EA as noted. keplerth is on my radar for sure. Doesn't seem to have any colony building though. Base building is entirely a solo experience like 99% of other survival base builders.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    huh thats odd. I've never seen them do that. That said, the game is buggy. I've been dealing with npcs teleporting into my base all playthrough this time. and my units teleporting outside occasionally. Previous playthroughs have been much better about this.. Rebuilt my walls a couple...

    shannara had hot chicks, and Manu Bennett. it was far superior.

    Wheel of Time

    not really. it is a funish trainwreck. fun to make fun of. better then say lost in space, which is just boring. def more fun, if you take part in making fun of it, via vids, or forums.

    weird take by them. "calling out that you know its a bad idea makes it ok! it means you outplayed the critics!" no, calling out the retarded idea, doesn't make it not retarded.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    yes, it can. you can build walls out past "your base", and your units won't auto travel properly. the radius is pretty large though. and no they won't attack walls, only gates. line of sight applies to walls and buildings. but, turrents/xbows can fire through gates.

    eth and btc failing to break any upward barriers doesn't look good. Eth is on a downward trend with its moving average in all but 200day. its hovering between 100 and 200 day average. Im inclined to think it will drop to its 200 day sooner then later. I think new year is actually going to...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    kenshi is real funny at taking what you thought was an asskicking squad and tearing it apart. went out exploring looking for some engi research. party of like 13. first went up through obediance, floodlands. visited moll, and checked worlds end. came back, and visited the armor king. and...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I was contemplating the other day how much I wanted rimworld/oni/gnomoria style town building in kenshi. the thing is, kenshi's a.i. system is unique. so I don't want to throw it out, and replace it entirely with the same system from those, which has been repeated now, quite often. What I do...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    not really, aside from could be considered cheating. resetting the world, repopulating loot, etc. could just farm a single outpost, instead of exploring the world.

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    default don't respawn. you can force the random ones to respawn via save>import. which saves you stats, but then imports it to a fresh world. you can get more recruits via default game via freeing slaves. every slave you free has a chance of asking to join. Recruit prisoners mod lets you...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I don't think so. check current mods though. shop counters work slightly better in prefab towns... but even thats limited, as the npcs in towns have only a preset amount of cash. when it runs out.. no longer shop. one of my mods spawns tourists that will trade with your town..

    The Witcher

    Finishing up this season. I feel like coming off Wheel of time, did make this seem better then it is. Sets, cinematography is pretty great. again, such a stark contrast from WoT. outfits. back grounds. the scenes at the temple, and theres a censor in the background, on the roof rocking...

    The Witcher

    It's just fucking astounding how much better this is on every level from The Wheel of Time. haven't read the books, and barely played the games honestly. so can't comment on any of those changes. Tiss and now elf lady only hot women. ep1. murdering wounded troops wasn't really a thing...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    so, who reviewing this crap has played the video games? I'm assuming that shit is all canon, so, maybe some of this makes sense if you are up to date on that? like, watching a review now, and it mentions Morpheus being dead, and resurrected, and not knowing how or that Morpheus was even dead...
