I’m actually pretty OK with the anthology feel of the little episodes you have to clean up to proceed, and I didn’t mind how often they threw around the word “paradox” as a constant reminder that these were self-encapsulated stories that were all part of different timelines. It was the stuff with Caius/Yeul, that…

It is incredibly relaxing and satisfying. Sounds like a great gag to pull on your SO, but you’d likely be getting a lot more value out of it after that point.

As someone who used to play a lot of point-and-clicks, was 16 at the start of 2000, and has never heard of Meredith Gran or Octopus Pie, I’m intrigued. I think this one’s going on my wishlist for when I’ve thinned out more of the massive time sinks in my backlog. I think I’ve played through all my previous William…

Saw a skunk crossing the street last week, and you’d better believe I slowed down to a dead fucking stop to let that little guy pass.

Depends on whether I’m sitting down at a restaurant/diner/bar or eating fast food on the road. At a table, I’m alternating between bites of burger and a few fries. In my car, I’m blindly pawing for the most accessible possible food with my free hand while driving and will probably finish every last fry in transit,…

I actually played what I think was 3rd or 4th edition a couple years ago at a board game night. The list of actions you could do were as the vampire hunters were pretty similar to the list from Eldritch Horror, which I was already very familiar with, so it took very little time to adjust to the rules. The person…

For the third week in a row, my Pandemic Legacy: Season 0 group is all free, so we’re just plowing through this campaign now. We’ve hit the part midway through these campaigns where the gameplay just becomes golden. All the abilities we’ve invested in our characters, with an eye toward absolutely broken synergy,…

A Nazmart?

Psyduck, the water-type Pokémon that needs an IV of ibuprofen (Goldfuck)

I like that fight in concept, especially with how the enemies’ defenses absolutely fall apart once you’ve killed one of them, but it’s one of the ones where, unless you put the time into grinding out crystarium levels and/or equipment upgrades, whether you succeeded or failed depended on whether the enemies decided to…

I had the same experience with Soulsbournering games that I did with Elder Scrolls games: I gave both Dark Souls 1 and Oblivion incredibly deep dives, devoting most of my free time into them for a few weeks, pretty much did 100% of everything there was to do (at least as dictated by the achievement lists), and then…

Well, he watched The Office, but he really connected with the show and felt like part of the writing team.

Hey, isn’t that the guy from “Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let’s Find Out!”?

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

I, too, like to stock up on game studios when they go on deep discount.

Thank you. For fuck’s sake, “bias” is a noun.

Defensive comments, clearly.

This woman is surrounded by her own petards, and yet I’ve never seen her get hoisted by them! Not once!

I’ve found that the workaround is scrolling back up to the top, then scrolling back down. It’ll shrink down to a much smaller banner with an X to close it entirely.

I hate that I need a multi-step process for closing an ad so I can use the top two thirds of my screen.

We also had Allison Shoemaker to cover whiskey. It really was a golden era for the site.
