Donut County is on GamePass now and is a fun katamari-ish puzzle distractor with an amusing sort of framing story. Won't take any time at all to play through the whole thing but it's calming and free so why not.

Part three dragged on terribly. That had the largest concentration of Venli flashbacks and quite a few chapters of treading water. Sanderson has a large writers group/editors that helps him with this stuff so I found it surprising how slow parts were. Part 5, on the other hand, jammed like 6...

How has the targeting changed? In the past I could equip a fire staff and, with max int, do less damage than I would using a gun once then following up with a sword. I felt like needing to aim plus use up mana was just an inconveniece without any actual benefit.

Hate the magic system though. Just absolute loathing.

Heroics give Renown via catchup? Well that helps I suppose but also just reinforces the alts-only nature of the thing. I suppose Covenant betrayal factors in as well.

I had issues with the UI at first as I'm not a Factorio type...but once I got over that I became obsessed.

I'm now at a weird place where dungeons dont exist for me in any real sense. I'm ROFL-casual but walking around in Covenant set gear that is higher ilevel than LFR and would only be replaced by a Mythic-7. Mythic-7 is nothing except when you realize I've never done anything past Mythic-0 and...

Twisting Corridors makes me want to punch a kitten. Good lord it's just so fucking dull. I actually nodded off midrun.

I did try it because he was definitely super flirty and was rewarded with the awkward "oh uhhhh I ain't like that bro..." scene. This was before the Kerry Eurodyne missions so I was thinking 'you fucking polish cocktease bastards'.

This show is indeed cursed. Good lord so many have passed away!

I played Andromeda and don't recall anything about that.

What was the Asari retcon?

Shit does seem to be on the verge of hitting the fan now that we've finally seen what is going on outside Westview. We clearly know who 'Geraldine' and 'Agnes' are, but who is Herb?

The brought Dick Van Dyke on to consult for the first couple episodes. The attention to detail for the period pieces are quite commendable.

Ummm the detective in Cyberpunk 2077 is straight. Panem is the sexual predator in Cyberpunk, that whore will not stop hitting on you no matter how many times you try and brush the bitch off.

I actually felt fairly confident that something would be added this week with respect to the main table area of Oribos that would kick off another multi-week drip of story / Torghast content. Nope. It really does look like there is 8 weeks left of Renown farming on Tuesday after reset and...

Decided to give this a whirl beyond the intro bit that I had done a bunch of times already. Enjoying the story and open-ended nature of the different options / approaches to the content but my primary issue continues to be the Companions. I dislike the Githyanki but she fills a 'fighter'...

This happens. Its especially annoying when they miss visual references / plot points and then either ask questions they would have known the answer to had they been watching OR get pissy when they misunderstand things.

Where things get extra uber stupid is the LFR. Only two of the 4 wings are released and yet anyone who has been humming along with the Covenant Campaign now has gear that is nicer than what you get in LFR. I'm cruising around at 196 without ever having even done a Mythic 2. At this point the...

Friend of mine is a huge Bewitched / I dream of Jeanie / TVLand type fan and I got him to watch this and he is now intrigued by the MCU when he disregard everything superhero until now.

My main motivation for logging in was the Covenant campaign and associated slow-drip of plot elements. We would appear to now be out of those and so I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep logging in. Maybe get to exalted with the 4 main covenant reps I suppose.

He originally pitched the idea to Paramount and they passed on the concept of the series, but the DS9 series bible for the first season is remarkably similar to the materials for B5 that JMS included in the pitch proposal. Stuff like the Vorlon etc were intentionally misleading in the pitch...

I think the runtime gets longer later on once the sitcom gets shattered. So far we've hit 50s (Mary Tyler Moore) and 60s (Bewitched) and it looks like 70s hits at the end of the second episode with a Brady Bunch or Partridge Family style. It was a really well done homage to both the earlier...

There are a ton of little easter eggs and small details buried in here. I fully expect to go back and rewatch later to catch more of them.

So what counts as something 'good'? What do you want?

Weekly release does at least let people have more of a shared experience with the series vs dropping all the episodes at once and not being able to communicate with others until after everyone is done with the whole season.

WTF how the heck do you have Croman and Meatball? I just checked to see how this mornings missions did and, sure enough, they were all fails. If I use my absolute best team I can't even beat the lowest mission available, much less the various missions for things like Soul Ash.

Rumor is that EA tried to make a case for continuing their exclusive relationship but the mouse house was displeased with their ability to deliver actual game content and elected to open the floodgates.

It's very odd that the Covenant set gear for casuals has a higher ilevel than the LFR gear. So LFR is for trinkets and people who are so casual they can't do the campaign in a reasonable timescale?

Soooooo now the Covenant Campaign is done... Do we just sit around and beat off until the first major patch?

I did notice this AM that I had the pet doggy in Torghast that was kinda fun. I just now see that this is a weekly event whose entire extent is that it exists.

Well he knows a secret of the First Ones which means he is almost certainly an Eternal One and there's only one of those currently MIA. Still not quite sure how we as the Maw Walker fit into all this....We seem to be touched by the First Ones in a weird way.

So I had not seen the Jailer talking to the Runecarver until this AM when I was quickly doing Torghast before the reset. Its pretty much a given that the Runecarver is the Primus at this point yah?

Well Queen Charlotte was supposedly somewhat or possibly a good part black or at least had strong African features which partly we explained why she was known as a very very ugly queen.

Whats wrong with the Kyrian Mission Table?

That final shot irritated the hell out of me. Discovery's whole schtick, and indeed its primary mission now as Dilithium courier, is that it can travel nearly instantly via the spore drive. With that in mind why the fuck did they do a standard 'warp out' rather than a 'black alert' and...

Amos continues to be one of the best damn characters in entertainment and damn if Wes Chatham isn't rocking the part. I think its the eyes more than anything else. Yeah he's jacked and then some and has the demeanor to convey subtle menace and a complete lack of moral compasss, but its the way...

Yeah the turbolift made no fucking sense at all. We had seen bits and pieces of this 'internal structure' before but this made it clear that it was full stupid.

I was hoping that this would all lead towards a resolution that acknowledged the marcantile needs of the Galaxy and that having an economy is actually useful. Getting the Orions and Andorians plus however many planets are in the chain to be part of something new despite the issues of the past...

Did the 18 floor thing this AM and man was that a slog. I was just happy it was over and then annoyed at the paltry reward it offered.
