So here’s the question, after some.. unfortunate wiping of my Playstation’s storage (and apparently I did not have not auto-upload to cloud set up as my progress was knocked back into full Tempered Set /w 2 attack gems to... just finished Xeno’Jiva with baby armor), I’m basically at the point where a newbie might have…

Regarding the family friends; I think the feeling that they wouldn’t hang out much was intentional because they plainly resent each other. Winston Duke’s character spends the scene aafterwards badmouthing and comparing himself to the father and we get similar reflections in the family later. This family gets together…

On one hand, I get where you’re coming from. On the other, there’s something of an inherent problem whether you want there to be variation at all. To be honest, at the very least there should be a middle ground; it is a game after all, and half the fun of RPGs is when something unexpected does happen; removing deaths…

I dunno, you call it ‘shifting between three modes of gameplay’, I call it ‘shoot at enemies while getting from point A to point B. Okay now shoot at enemies while standing on a point. Okay now the point is moving, stand around it and shoot at badguys. Okay, forget the objective, just shoot at badguys.’

Regardless of…

Worth mentioning that if you’re farming Tempered Elders, you’re probably not gonna think much of ol’ Pickle, as the tempered isn’t available yet. I did find him *super* annoying for bow though because he thrashes and spins constantly so couldn’t figure out a consistent way to hit him. Also his face is tiny. By…

I get Star Wars is hardly a bastion of realistic Science Fiction, but uh, if you tried to move a planet with what amounts to a giant rocket booster, I’m pretty sure everyone would die and the planet would be uninhabitable by the end, right?

To hit this from an empathy angle:

Look, video games are an escape for a lot of us. That’s undeniable. It’s something to fit in between hours trudging away at jobs, college, or even a bad day. I’d bet every single person who visits this site has, on a bad day, sat down and just jumped straight into a game, just decided…

Mechanically they’re best made a fighter/barb, but suffer in that both gain a huge benefit from the free feat variant human gets.

Otherwise being half evil-cannon fodder probably isn’t appealing to a lot of folks.

Some additional complication worth discussing is something we’re seeing as pretty symptomatic and, part of the reason why ‘toxicity in multiplayer gaming’ is a hot topic right now.

On top of this massive set of choice paralysis and complications and dizzying choices, you’re playing with a teammate.

Right there this puts…

Yeah I got to a similar weird point where I had basically researched Plasma weapons and only just now researched the vial, because I’ve been hunting down chosen.

Part of the problem for me is the game is incentivizing everything at once—hunting down chosen means speed-leveling a character to Major, but the mechanics…

If you watch the movies closely it’s more interested in showing you the rules than explaining them to you, but as always, the book fleshes it out. I assure you, there are rules.

Crashmaster hit on the major points, but another one that was present in the book is that Pennywise ‘adopts’ the limitations and weaknesses…

This season doesn’t seem to have the slightest clue what the hell to do with Bran now that he’s gone all Three-Eyed Raven, but being asked if he saw the news about Jon in a vision only for him to hold up the message.

I’d like to see a little bit more of dry-wit Braven, if you don’t mind.

One could make a semi-cogent argument that Euron was always going to storm out of the meeting declaring the Iron Islands were leaving and he was specifically looking for any pretext—and if it wasn’t the wights, it would have been the dragons, or the might of Dany’s army, or whatever, and that ultimately the point was…

Serious answer is; you wait. Though it has signs of tapering off, there’s currently a bitcoin-miner’s rush that’s driving up card prices. It’s not likely to go down until it swings down again. As long as demand is so high, they aren’t coming down. Add to the fact that the next gen of cards doesn’t seem like it’s…

Huh, I completely mis-remembered that. *shrug* My bad.

Further adding to the confusion is that Lucas had redubbed Stormtrooper lines in one of his SW editions with Jango Fett’s actor, implying that they were clones during one of his re-releases.

But all of SW, both fandom and the ones calling the new shots, collectively decided that was bullshit and to pretend it never…

He’s still responsible for a lot of garbage.

And with Fuller and Kurtzman it would have at least been part Fuller. Now it’s... pretty much all on Kurtzman, which isn’t good for anyone.

“At the Star Trek: Discovery panel, producer Alex Kurtzman...”

...Oh no. We traded Bryan Fuller for... Kurtzman?

So, just to be clear, Pirates of the Caribbean is otherwise historically accurate ride, and it’s this change that takes it too far?

Like, was that a historically accurate pirate curse?

Actually to argue against Batman being chaotic because he works outside the law, that’s not entirely true. Batman himself works outside the law, but pretty cruically, he works with the law whenever he can, and has historically aided his police in performing their duties, taking on a personal responsibility to do what…
