You just have to practice. Art is a skill, like pretty much anything else. There’s this idea that you’re born with artistic skill or you’re not, but it’s mostly that people who like drawing (or some other form of art) just keep doing it, so they keep improving. People who don’t never practice it. So, they just think…

+1 to what Enfy said. In addition, I think there’s a lot of draw from the fact that the towns are all randomly generated. So, from day 1, your layout and the animal citizens who inhabit it are totally unique. Your house and the stuff you put in it are all you. It feels like no two are the same. When you visit someone…

In addition to the odd decision to break it up into episodes, I’ve been pretty pessimistic about the remake and I find it odd that I seem to be one of the few. If it’s good, sure, I might play it, but I don’t have high hopes. FF7 was a great game at the time but them remaking it and expecting it to be as good as the…

I think the idea is you already probably already have a screen (TV, computer, or phone). You probably already have a controller (bluetooth, PS4, computer keyboard/mouse). You might not need a dongle (you won’t with a computer or your phone, and in the future, the capability will likely be built into TVs).

That’s James K. Polk. I really have to know why, now. I was expecting some explanation, but I found nothing.

Bingo. Most people don’t read the rules and when you go by “house rules” the game often winds up taking forever. The auction rule and rules regarding how you build are usually totally ignored in house rules and they drag the game out. There’s even rules for a shorter version of the game that hands out a bunch of…

In my opinion, this is the best way to learn Paradox games. I’ve played all of their big strategy games for many hours each (CK2, EU4, Vic 2, HOI4, and Stellaris). It’s usually best to maybe get a quick overview and jump in, then either screw up tremendously or get confused and google some specific answers.

I love Fallout so much that I bought Fallout Tactics day 1 for full price. Even I didn’t bother with Fallout 76 or its DLC.

If you’re an adult and don’t have a Switch already, the Lite doesn’t have much appeal. However, for a kid or an adult who already has a Switch, the Lite does have appeal.

It comes out the same day as Link’s Awakening. Maybe they’ll do one in a package... please Nintendo?

HDMI output probably has a good bit of internal hardware to support it. Leaving it out meant they could make it smaller and cheaper. And I, for one, want to buy one. I already have a Switch, and I’d been considering getting a second one for when I travel for work. My wife likes to play the Switch too, so I usually…

It worked for me for the same reason: concrete walls. I had a TV in my shop on the back of the house, but it couldn’t get a wifi (AC1900) signal. I bought one of these, popped it in a power outlet on the other side of the concrete wall, and suddenly it can pick up the signal. I do intend to eventually hardwire the…

I really liked Binding of Isaac. However, I thought the art and design seemed unnecessarily offensive like an effort to be edgy. I’m not convinced that it couldn’t have been done and just as enjoyable without all of the weird nudity, violence, and gross outs. The game at it’s core is classic arcade action in an…

You can actually get 55" 4k TCL Roku TVs at Walmart for that price (or cheaper). No, they’re not as good as the high-end $1500+ price range TVs, but they’re actually very respectable quality and an amazing deal for that price. I picked one up last year to replace my ancient Samsung 1080p DLP TV I got in 2006 for like…

I’m surprised no one else is mentioning this. Even if the dance is copyrightable, wouldn’t it belong to NBC rather than Alfonso Ribeiro?

You could easily skip that area entirely, though. Cata basically had two separate leveling tracks. One was started in Vash’jir, the other in Hyjal. Hyjal ->Deepholm -> Uldum -> Twilight Highlands was enough to level a character to the expansion max if you didn’t care about the underwater zones.

Yeah, I’m more of a fan of looser canon, like you see in Marvel. Yeah, they’ll reference old silver age characters and storylines, but they’re not a slave to it. Like Tony Stark was originally captured and built his suit in during the Vietnam War. That doesn’t make sense anymore time-wise, so it’s generally accepted…

The timing of that doesn’t make sense... All That is the only show listed to premier after Legends of the Hidden Temple. Well, that and Rocko, which apparently premiered a week after Legends of the Hidden Temple.

They apparently had the DVD set ready to go, but then Paramount and Dreamworks had a merger and it fell off the schedule. People involved said they had even recorded commentary and done stuff for extras on the set and they’re printed and sitting in a warehouse. No real explanation has ever been given.

I mentioned that at the time it was released. EQ2 came out around the same time and I remember people praising its graphics and being negative about WoW’s cartoony look. I noted that EQ2 lacked a real distinct style and WoW’s more cartoony, cohesive art style made it look better, even on weaker systems. It’s proved…
