    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Yeah I have done a play like you are describing and Act 3 was pretty challenging. You have to be able to deal with two fights before things largely get back to manageable, but fortunately your Customs and Argentia are back for the second one, but you have to be able to take down the first one...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Officer in general has been weakened way the hell down. They nerfed the fuck out of it for a while, which needed to happen. The whole build one god and give it infinity turns shit was just stupid and balancing the harder difficulties around that made the game unplayable for normal people. But...

    What are you playing?

    Barbie dress up dolls the game. Gay as fuck and super grindy. And worse, once you got max Alchamist and two Deathknights maxed, you could basically face roll the majority of the game. It was the first outright terrible FF game, if you don't count Mystic Quest.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    It is unique to her in that form, but any forgeworld character can basically replicate the effect in reverse and get a good INT out of the trade. And INT has the advantage of also applying to Logic and Tech Use, as well as AE damage in combat. You would be amazed what a high Int combined with...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Jae is outstanding as a skill monkey. This is known. But she is very mediocre in combat and her quests range from annoying (stealth quest?) to just forgettable terrible. The line in the DMB part is arguably the only mildy amusing part of her entire quest chain. Her nature makes her highly...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Most famously for Captain Marvel. You could literally go to the theatre in Disneyland that the ticket sales showed as sold out and it would be empty. But I think this is more a case of the woke and tribe enthusiasts circling the wagons. They needed a win or the entire graft was going to...

    Blade Runner 2099

    Dick Choppers are like Vegans and Crossfitters. They crave attention at levels that even women cannot relate to. They know they are not going to get that attention unless the shit up someone else's creation by subverting the built in audience. Its basically the guiding star of Woke...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Forgive me if I don't lose sleep over the opinion of a Canadian liberal. After watching these parasites "subvert" expectations for "the modern audience" for dozens of IPs with maybe 1-3 actual original franchises for the past two decades, I am done with the made for Netflix. And before you...

    The Odyssey (2026)

    Don't care. All I want is for these prog fags to stop raping other IPs and our collective childhoods. They should make their own fucking stories and cast whoever they want in it. Nolan is certainly capable of doing this. The degree to which Bisi is jerking himself off over this pretty much...

    Well you are Canadian, so this covers both MAID and general faggotry requirements.

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    From a world building standpoint, you want to have the broadstrokes done, at least internally. Otherwise you end up with tons of inconsistency of tone and scope when it comes time to do some story telling. This is true of most fictional mediums, from a humble table top RPG all the way up to...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    His brother (plays and voices Thrawn) would have been a great choice, imo. Doom is the "Hitler did nothing wrong" kind of villian who needs to demonstrate a level of control and menace that makes audiences understand him. You also need someone who will sit behind a mask for most of the movie...

    The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum (2027)

    Well he just lost Bisi's endorsement..... Interesting coming from him since he has been fairly openly left on things. Guess that Animal Farm disaster might have opened his eyes a bit.

    Operation New Career

    Kind of out of left field, but you could work for DHS as a contractor repping yourself in that role. You meet all the quals and likely have the needed clearance and skills/experience to hop to the front of the line. And the work is easy as hell. Just be aware that the major sites you probably...

    Operation New Career

    Meta loves hiring ex spooks, but that company is kind 9f weird. I would jump at a job at Morgan Stanley without knowing your other interests because no matter how much that company fucks up the government has made it pretty clear they will bail them out LOL. On a more serious note it might...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I would add that vampire movie with Ethan Hawke and in the mouth of Madness to essential watches with him. Dude had an amazing career and it's a shame most people will probably only remember his work on the dinosaur movies.

    Palworld (Pokemon with Guns and Bukkake, minus the Bukkake)

    Played through most of the early release and it is fun up until around level 30-40, at which point it becomes super grindy and the fights become ridiculous damage sponge shit you need to apply really stupid janky strategies to beat. The multiplayer mechanisms were kind of shit, too. But if you...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Cetara pulling tail with that fucking Karate Kid Soundtrack faggotry away from AD/DC who restarted all of hard rock with Back In Black sounds completely plausible. Or maybe you could just accept that some things just do not age well, especially from the 80s, like aquanet, the Burton Batman...

    Shot in the dark here, but I am going to guess you are a Bryan Adams, Culture Club, and/or Cure fan as well.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Lets compare here: Saturday in the Park, Beginnings, 25 or 6 to 4, Feeling Stronger Every Day, Time, Make Me Smile, ect ect all written by Lamm with him as lead vocals on most of them Contrast to: Hard to Say I'm Sorry, You're the Inspiration, Glory of Love, and lets not forget this one...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Faggot. Robert Lamm absolutely crushed Cetera, both as song writer and live vocalist. Beginnings (both Versions) alone is better than anything Cetera contributed. And when Cetera took over as the full time main vocalist we got the gayest shit ever in the 80s. He is basically a less gay Bryan...

    He us lucky you did not go to Legal. SVPs pull shit like that all the time where I work and I have made it very clear that I do nothing without proper vetting. Sure a butthurt suit can fire me for not breaking the rules (or law) but making exceptions like that is how careers get ended.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Yeah, the pyro, assassin, Executioner build is the only one that sort of fucks, but as Gav stated the Dot is just there to buff the real damage. Crowd control, as rare as it is in this game, is ten times more valuable than any single Dot effect in it. The notable exception are Necron trash...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Snipers are phenomenal in the early and mid game and the Elder chick is one of the best possible setups in the game. But by the end everything becomes about stacking debuffs and building up damaged booths to fight things that have insanely High health bars. Many of the bread and butter triggers...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Woke insertions mostly, but Strange New Worlds kind of hinted in this direction in its first episode. And if you really want to get picky, the time travel to past San Fran episode of DS9 was actually eerily prescient, but not done to push agenda specifically. They just happened to accurately...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    Gun and whoever he hired to write this were never going to do a standard classic Supergirl. He would have been better off making a lobo movie given his track record. I felt he had the Golden Touch right up until the second season of Peacemaker. His animated stuff is actually been okay and the...

    Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2026)

    IT is a review from a "male feminist ally". That is the talking point on this now, its men's fault this movie sucked. Not that they had an inexperienced DEI hire writer annd cast Down Syndrom LeeLu in the role. Should have made a fucking Power Girl movie. Thats the version of Supergirl...

    Project Hail Mary

    Two things to add to that. First, it was an original story and not a fifth reboot for modern audiences focus tested shit fest of an IP Cash In. Second, it was a character driven movie with a great actor carrying the whole thing with a complete character arc that is earned. Grace goes from a...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Starting a new run as a Heretic this time as well. Dovetailing on TJT's analysis: 1. Abelard- He is the undisputed king of the early game for the reasons TJT mentioned and does not fall off too hard towards the end of the game, plus he is not too bad of a skill monkey. 2. Eogunn- Not gotten...

    This shit is rampant in Defense according to my wife. She hates feeling like nothing is getting done, but the job security and bennefits are too good plus we are too old to have her roll the dice on something new. And yeah, my company announced similar incentives for AI use and lo and behold...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    This was never going to be Citizen Kane. This was basically Big Trouble in Little China with Johnny Cage in the Jack Burton role. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it's not a rewatch caliber movie. Cage and Kano buddy cop shit was the highlight of the movie and I was happy to see them gank...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Avernus was supposed to be an entire explorable region of the game with additional quests involving Raphael and Mizora. The VA was actually completed on it, but it got cut from development. As for the "someone has to be a Mindflayer" thing, eh You can always Have Orpheus or Karlach take one...
