    The LEGO thread - or how to step on bricks in the dark

    Yep. Got it as a gift when I was 5 years old in 1990.

    Yep! I love seeing my kids enjoy Legos, even if they mostly want to play with new legos and not what i had as a kid :D

    Pluribus

    Yeah the long shots of the pod people were very enjoyable. I'm guessing they'll transition from disaster recovery to infrastructure change to building a giant orbital message transmitter to aim at Alpha Centauri or whatever, while getting interrupted by whatever third party enters the show to...

    The LEGO thread - or how to step on bricks in the dark

    Got the https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-going-merry-pirate-ship-75639 set for my birthday, been having fun with my kids putting it together. I also added a new shelving unit to Lego Land (The one with Black Seas Barracuda (Dark Shark) : Set 6285-1 | BrickLink on top)

    Anno 117: Pax Romana

    I'm looking forward to the game too but the writing in this vid sounds like bro just prompted ChatGPT with "Glaze this game so hard to scoop the attention of all the desperate plebs who can't play the game yet."

    Pluribus

    We'll see how it turns out, but Rhea Sheehorn's character is definitely no Mary Sue teaching us how progressive ideals are the optimal choice. She's a deeply flawed character that was miserable, bitter and petty even before the apocalypse when she had love, fame and money. Now she's the lone...

    Yep. I think Caesar II - Wikipedia was my first city builder game.

    Pluribus

    Any kind of analysis of the character's decisions is pretty foolish without assuming a bunch of information we don't have. But most TV shows with this kind of mystery just kinda get retarded (Severance) once the show explains why things are the way they are, so it's fun to predict and explain...

    Mass Effect

    I've always thought the Turian War would've made a great game, especially if they supported non canonical endings where you can choose to wipe out the Turians, destroy the humans or choose a peacefulish ending that's canonical.

    AI Game Master (D&D lovers)

    I've enjoyed this very briefly: Everweave It's fine. There's something uhm.... boring? About AI content though. When you're playing a game you're enjoying the labor other humans made for you and every good game surprises, thrills and challenges you. When you're playing an AI game there's none...

    The Witcher

    Based on the two minutes and ... 24 seconds I watched of this season, Witcher is really turning around. Is that the new main character?

    Anno 117: Pax Romana

    Everyone is different but i find these games more tractable when i just focus on one thing at a time and don't worry too much about the big picture. For 117 that might mean spending a few nights on aqueducts or slavery or bath houses or something and not worry that the gauls are taking my...

    Making your own tier list and asking for recommendations might provide better advice! My tier list is based purely on what I enjoyed, not what I think the general litrpg fan would enjoy.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I can definitely see the concept of a teleoperated bipedal robot working out. Especially if you have swappable naughty bits for it.

    I'm just finishing Reborn: Apocalypse 4 and this fits it totally, except that I still recommend it for people digging into the mid-tier LitRPG books. This might be my personal preference but the amount of present-time recaps totally kills the tension. So many critical moments of the story read...

    Yeah, Serpent Isle just kinda hits different. If Ultima's world, Britannia, is literally "Let's do Britain but gamify it.", Serpent Isle is, "Let's imagine an entirely new game world". I dunno if they fixed all the issues in the rushed second half of it, but it's still a top CRPG to add to any list.

    Yeah Ultima 8 and 9 were kind of a mess for a lot of reasons, and then the Ultima series got consumed by Ultima Online.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana

    Biggest thing that bothered me about Anno 1800 is how the game focuses on the Item system, so you spend so much time basically farming items rather than building your city. I kind of thought to myself I'd enjoy it more if I just ignored that feature, but they are just too powerful to ignore. I...

    From a quick read of Resurrected seems like an HD remaster with some QOL, so I'd recommend that.

    I dunno about D2 Resurrected, but in the original game depending on your build, D2's necromancer is also one of the few games where you feel like you're raising a literal army of the dead. You can defeat content off-screen while you're just raising skeletons, zombies and a golem to do your bidding.

    Diablo 2 would be a crpg if a few hours of unskippable dialog and a combat autoresolve feature were added.

    I thought this clip was interesting: One of the constant complaints I have of the Mandoverse shows, even the episodes I like, is that they are disjointed. They seem to connect one storyboard to the next with incomprehensible plotlines and character decisions. I don't really understand the...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I'm skipping this expansion, but will play the next one. Level increase expansions are the worst for me, because I mostly play for group content and it's balanced around not being max-level. So if I played it I'd almost certainly roll in day 1 and beat all the missions and get gear I couldn't...

    I'll never get AC Shadows or another AC game ever again but don't begrudge those who do for the simple reason that they spend $$$ for dedicated artists that painstakingly build a beautiful world to put Ubislop content into. If I was into Japanese or Viking history/architecture/culture I'd...

    I really enjoy this kind of casual disrespect. Cradle, The Divine Dungeon, Mother of Leaning and Unorthodox Farming are finished. I think most of these series, if they finish, will have turned into garbage long before they conclude. So I don't really value whether they have concluded or not.
