Honestly, I would have thought I would hate the parry/dodge system before I tried it, but it's actually kinda fun, although rage inducing at times. It's not all or nothing though, from what I have seen: Regular mobs - you can just ignore parry/dodge completely, checkpoints are common, healing...

Wait, what ? All of those had wildly ballooning budgets, Stranger Things is like the worst case of that to have ever existed in TV I think - it went from like 3mil/ep s1 to 30mil/ep s4.

I thought the ep1 heist was great, an amusing poke at the general star wars trend of 'spaceships are basically magical horses, anyone can ride one to anywhere in zero elapsed time and they don't need fuel'

I watch Daredevil for the action and fight choreography and this delivered.... for the first and last episodes. Pity about the rest of it. If I wanted to watch a show about marriage counseling I'd turn the tv off and go outside while there is still time. Has there ever been a story about...

I actually stopped common people and came back to finish it later because it was too depressing. It's very Black Mirror though. Overall I thought the season was pretty good, even if some of them leaned more into outright sci-fi than the usual fare. One minor thing that bugged me about...

The first ep was pretty boring, but I though that one was really good. Some great action, although I am forced to wonder about using fuel bombs right next to a wooden palisade.

Ninja and Assassin - LOL It's dumb, but it is my kind of dumb, I found it hilarious.

Looks like the new one is doing tactical combat on the strategic map. With such a small possibility space, AI tactical performance should be a lot better hopefully.

Yeah, the first loop is definitely the weakest - was why I was lukewarm toward it at first. It picks up significantly after the first time she gets killed. As for Ritley - it has racism and lesbians in it, but it's not a story about racism or lesbians, nor is it preachy or moralistic. If the...

I don't know that it is the worst Dr Who episode ever, but it certainly has the worst 'Noooooooo' scene in cinema history.

It was ok. Bonus points if you are a fan of ultraviolence I guess ? I kind of feel they doubled down on that after being told they couldn't have any boobs.

Been a while since I recommended anything - too much to follow, and lot of things kind of fizzle out, so I like to give it at least a completed book's worth before suggesting. With those criteria met, I offer up : Years of Apocalypse This a time loop story with considerably more going on than...

This is pretty fun - what's the shameful lies about him only having one good skill though ? He also clearly has SSS rank denseness - who needs depleted uranium when you can use this guy's grasp of subtext as a weapon. Still - 'rescued girl from angry cow' is pretty good as a first adventure ;p

Maybe - it seemed more to me that they were frustrated that people watching the show didn't realize that they were being insulted, so they have become increasingly heavy-handed to the point that even people who might have laughed or agreed with them are left rolling their eyes at how low-effort...

My one word review: Wut. lol. Apparently continuity, plausibility and the idea of causality are things that hamper lesser writers 8)

Sooo apparently I completely missed the starter area and you aren't supposed to be fighting packs of rathound alphas at level 2. Who knew ? ;p

Finally got around to trying this - they aren't kidding about 'hard' difficulty - I think I've died more in the first 5 hours than I've died in total during complete playthroughs of other games. It seems like you don't get enough loot from enemies to pay for the bullets you used to kill them...

For the total boomer response - have you considered, you know, watching the 1 hour and deciding if you like it, rather than watching a 5 hour video that tells you whether you like it or not ? Even if said 5 hour video is right 100% of the time about your tastes, this seems an awfully...

I liked the dragon fights, but clearly they kept the worst writers from GoT. Giga-dragon crashes into ground at terminal velocity, then activates vanish and commando crawls in stealth mode across the entire battlefield to hide behind the castle walls in the hope that the chick will fly close...

I vaguely remember season 1 being decent, but I started watching s2 and I have no idea what is going on. Maybe it'd make sense if I'd watched s1 recently, but I have no idea who any of the characters are, what they are doing or where the plot is going.

I've seen actual lakes that were more flammable than that fortress. The army corps of engineers could not burn that place down if they filled it with napalm. Not to mention if the Jedi council would buy that cover story, not only would they happily believe Epstein killed himself, they'd be...

She tried to outsmart him with native cleverness, which failed dismally and he ended up giving her sympathy loot to stop her crying because he's a giant simp. Void's memory is not unreasonable, if not accurate - what he described is what she *thinks* she's like, but she is nowhere near as cool...

Yes, there's quite a few arcs that aren't kid friendly, not based on sex or the like, but just adult themes, violence and horror. Sex wise, it's pretty much entirely absent other than the two 'mating rituals' chapters. The first books being lower standard is possibly not the case anymore...

The best scenes in season 2 were flashbacks to season 1. Cancellation was more a mercy killing than anything else.

Wow, apparently in the grimdark future everything is bigger, including the nerfs. 'Instead of giving an extra turn, this talent now gives a damage buff but only if they are already buffed by you and only if they are attacking an enemy that hasn't moved yet' 'Instead of giving 3 * int bonus, it...

Nah, because the ones split off from Jason2 are all going looking for a world where he didn't ditch his girlfriend. The journey back to his original world with Jason1 was after he had worked out how to use the box, so he presumably didn't spend weeks wandering at random that time.

Context sensitive menus are for babies, real men use Esc followed by a 5 digit hex code representing the window id of the thing they are closing.

The box is a story McGuffin that doesn't have anything to do with any theoretical quantum mechanics, it's just a prop to have the story happen. If you want a quick hand-wave justification, any possible universes where someone trashed the box or moved it somewhere else can't be accessed by the...

I enjoyed the initial release of Starfield for what it was, despite the many flaws. I have zero interest in an expansion or DLC though, unless it is 100% new stuff it would involve going through old stuff to get to it, and that's not happening.

I dunno, nothing in the gameplay trailer seemed particularly objectionable except how bad the person playing it was. It was very on-rails and pretty brain-dead, but it was presumably an intro of some sort. Not for me though, if I found ADHD jumping around standing in and out of flashing circles...

Anime is a super wide thing with lots of different genres, and lots of stuff that doesn't fit into any of them neatly. Some of the best anime ever made will be hated by lots of people for not being the kind of thing they like. Without knowing what you like ( and possibly you don't know either )...

Lots of good suggestions - I'd also add: Elydes Bog-Standard Isekai Both of them are creative and pretty different from the standard run of the mill litrpg. Note this solely from the text version, I have no idea if the voice actors suck or whatever. On the slightly less litrpg front could also...

It's even better, it's not actually a fire extinguisher, she puts it out with her pocket robot, which is apparently also a screwdriver and a welding tool.

Sven always makes me a little sad that I am never going to love my job as much as he does ;p

Sooo, this is very pretty, high production values and good choreography. But. I just can't get over how dumb it is, in almost every bit of dialogue. "You match the description of a suspect" - this is a galactic federation of hundreds of planets, and someone *recognised her* from a fucking...

Yeah, even if it literally ate babies, the thing has survived for hundreds of billions of years, and the first thing you do is smash it ? Imagine the kind of ego you'd need for that. I'd like to see the original builders show up to ask what the fuck these people were doing with their public...

Obligatory

This has grown on me as it goes along - the latest episode was pretty good. I am pretty sure they typoed the title for the episode though, it was supposed to be called 'Bitch, are you retarded?'

Oozemancer was my first insane win, they are tankier than bulwarks, have great mobility and decent nuke power. Not invincible, but great for surviving almost any instant-death situation. Archmage is fun and powerful, but you have to actually pay attention to what classes the rares have, because...

I always play on insane difficulty these days, and pretty much always skip the dark crypt. Corruptors just have way too much instant burst damage and bone armor makes killing them quickly impossible - no matter how tough you think you are at that point, the chances of getting insta'gibbed is...
