    I am "I read this comic book when it came out" years old, actually. I am in the rare group who actually prefers the movie ending. And of course that had to be one of the most perfectly cast movies of all time.

    Work and choir bullshit finally died down so did some movie watching the last week, just taking in random movies I had not seen. Palm Springs- Good romcom if you dont try to overthink the sci fi part of it. Has the lonely Island guy and the girl from Penguin, who may not be the most attractive...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    Remember who AI is mostly being developed by. And lets not even talk about the AI thats really just a building full of poo slingers pretending to be AI...... AI derives its knowledge from human knowledge. Once people stop knowing how to do anything themselves anymore, the fucking wheels come...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    1 Shot Maelle is semi workable fairly early, if you get her weapon at the first chance in the bush people village by using her in the final Arena fight. The main thing are the Pictos from the secret Arena, that weapon, and Stendahl/sacrifice HP skill combo. All are fairly easy to have by that...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    There are two optional bosses that require perfect parrying, but you can get around most of the rest without being perfect. Simon just one shots anyone he hits, even at L99 and is there for the asians and twitcher players. His windows are very narrow and reads are deliberately misleading...

    Fallout

    Enclave had a small base and mostly got their shit pushed in by House, if I recall the game. The young gay doctor guy who was at the Mormon compound (want to say Arcade?) would be the only one potentially still alive.

    Fallout

    IF this is after the game, Boone is gone one way or the other. Plus with only an eight episode run (and seemingly a focus on the House arcs) there is only so much time to go around for side arcs.

    Fallout

    No, schlomo. The real game here is lubing people up for commercials to be added full on to streaming services, including Prime. That and to obfuscate when the creators dump all the money in the first two episodes so they can keep people watching in the hope that the show stops sucking at some...

    The Game Awards 2020

    Valid point and in general I am not a fan of the whole Telltale Games style. But.... this, when viewed as an entertainment experience, was well written with excellent voice casting and a very satisfying game loop. It also was inexpensive and had some replay ability. I guess if you do not...

    The Game Awards 2020

    The sad truth is that this was mostly a shit year for games with a couple of outstanding exceptions. E33, Silksong, Dispatch, and..... maybe the FFT Remake if you want to count that? Rest were holdovers from wokified studios recouping costs before they get gobbled up by other companies or...

    A required button press with precise timing in what is otherwise an entirely turn based RPG that impacts the combat mechanics. How else would you classify that? Again their own text box in your screenshot expressly labels them as such by excluding them being affected by that setting.

    The Game Awards 2020

    That is only for attack timings which are super easy and never change. Parry, Dodge, Jump, Super Parry QTEs stay on no matter what and only get slightly larger windows by dropping the overall game difficulty. The defensive QTEs (especially in engame and higher diff) that are the issue...

    FIrst of @Lanx You cannot turn them off (you are thinking of Dispatch), just increase the timing windows a small bit. And @Noodleface Git Gud is not the issue, as someone who has burned through every single Souls game. Its not that I can't do the timing windows, it is that I don't want a turn...

    The Game Awards 2020

    I personally avoided it until very recently for this exact reason. For the most part, the combat is fun but I really hate QTEs especially in my old age. That and all the end game balance seems to revolve around either being able to perfect parry for literally over an hour or around one shot...

    Your ratio is impressive, for sure. But nothing compares to the sheer volume of work that the Putin agent has put in when it comes to shitting things up and riding the fine line to Rickshawland. He has gotten a lot of people who should know better to engage with his trolling over the years...

    Pluribus

    This all assumes that all life in the universe is governed by nucleotide RNA sequences (which there are strong arguments for that I won't shit up the thread with) and they can locate another life bearing world (which we are getting pretty close to that in the modern world). But if we want to...

    It got the "Modern Audiences" adjustment, which is all it took to sink this on its own.

His unique cinematography and strong casts have carried...

    I think it is pretty clear they are doing a big population cull in the background somewhere. They literally do not give a fuck about the well being of any individual hive members, outside of playing pretend with the immunes. Note they never said they could not kill themselves and we have seen...

    So just to clarify, does this mean the brief one liners after individual votes are off limits too? Because we have been doing that since this whole thing started? Does Cad think he is the NFL commissioner policing touchdowns now?

    No matter what a startup ever promises, they never make good on it. And worse if it does manage to somehow get legs, they will screw you out of any payout you would be getting anyhow. If you were still unmarried and without kids and hated your current gig, sure roll the dice. But in your...

    Start planning your exit. Not only are they replacing competent people with Poos, but they are also putting them in a customer facing role. That will kill your company relationship with your partners. Poos are terrible at everything, but they are exceptionally bad at customer service.

    Monk Ramza, as mentioned, is probably the fastest path to being OP.

Dual Weild with sword Razma cannot...
