Oh that’s good to know, thanks. Apparently you can cheese it with paralysis, but I don’t have that spell yet. Suppose I could go finish the Tunnels of Whatever and level up to do that.
I chose it deliberately as I decided my character didn’t like the other gods, but I might wimp out and choose one of those instead.…

Yeah I’ve got CP on. It gives me lots of new toys, so I likes it.

Well yeah, I was surprised too, because I didn’t realize that Rambo was a combination of the Absorbing Man and Mystique.

I’m not sure if the first level doesn’t have them, but all the other main levels have checkpoints, but you have to activate a little computer thingy to save at them.

I actually noticed myself trembling at one point during a particularly hairy Invisible, Inc. run. It's so nice how whatever goes wrong, it's your fault, but also so awful.

Yeah, I was thinking that they’re a bit like the Marvel films, actually, in that purists tend to look down on them (“oh not another superhero film / lego game”) but that they greatly underestimate how much skill and effort goes into crafting them (compare a MCU film to most of the DC ones, or even the Sony/Fox Marvel…

I played a bunch of PA about 2/3 through early access, and I have to say it’s a magnificent systems game. I keep meaning to boot it up to try out the massive number of new features and improvements, but as noted above I’m kind of burnt out these days and can’t really deal with complex things.

The, uh, Sky Dragon I think? It’s black, and has a nest, and I have to clear it out to get to some island where I can jump into a pit or something? Or perhaps I could do something dialogue-y to get it out of fighting it.

…and you also started stealing Social Security checks?

So my main gaming over the past two weeks has been *hides face in shame* Lego Marvel Super Heroes. It's about all I can handle, honestly, it's been a pretty hectic time and I just don't have the brainpower. I finished the campaign, and am running around New York cleaning up icons on the map in order to collect gold…

Yeah, I'm holding off on buying it until I see what the extra games are next Tuesday, because I already own Prison Architect, but let's face it, even if they're all games I already own, I'm buying that shit.

I've reached a point in PoE where I can't beat the immediate boss without getting wiped the fuck out (it's a dragon, I've somehow missed out on getting super overpowered), and I don't care enough to go do a bunch more side quest things (and actually there aren't all that many more left). Very nice, very old school…

Actually that picture just looks like a screencap from Just Cause III.

Huh, never noticed that but now that will irritate me even more when I choose to watch the reboots. Sigh.

Is it the one where there's a Vietnamese guard walking alone beside a cliff, and then the cliff moves and strangles him because fucking RAMBO had embedded himself into it and covered himself in clay or whatever the fuck in a way that was totally imperceptible and wouldn't at all have taken an entire makeup team…

There's actually quite a bit of literature on this, showing that, for example, bullies do not lack self esteem, quite the opposite.

Ah, that's what your avatar is for.

…

Actually in all fairness, I think he’s a reasonably talented writer. He just has a very, very limited range, and no ability to filter himself in realtime, hence all the horrendously embarrassing posts about the movie before it came out.

Way ahead of you, well 2 years anyways. Oddly enough, they don't seem to turn out that badly.
