Huh I don't think I've heard of Fae Tactics but I'm a sucker for weirdly minimalistic takes on established gameplay conventions.

I am desperately hoping that they do the smart thing and support backwards compatibility despite the fact I'm pretty sure they won't.

When this rumor started going around I remember trying to track down the source of “Henry Cavill is leaving because the writers don’t respect the book” and at best it seemed like everybody was citing the same one anonymous source. Everything since then has just been self-propelling momentum.

Anybody who has drawn a regularly updated comic: “Yeah, I get it.”

Yeah I think that’s a great way to put it.

I don’t doubt there are dozens of indie RPGs out there with mechanics for having sex (and I’m sure there are lots of very interesting takes on the matter) but it’s still wild to me that Apocalypse World - basically the granddaddy of so many indie RPGs in the last several years due to the Powered by the Apocalypse…

The thing is, even if these deaths are temporary, they're still showing everybody graphically killed. It might not "matter" in the end but it's still happening and from my perspective isn't something I find particularly enjoyable.

I honestly thought the show was fine - it even had some genuinely fun and good moments here and there - but never quite hit the highs I was hoping for and then that last episode was just a whole mess of nothing, which has made me feel a lot less positive on what came before.

This isn’t exactly a hill I feel like dying on today, but I would argue that nothing has retconned Agents of SHIELD at this point.

Yeah I was saying it even when Falcon and the Winter Soldier had just finished: there’s nothing in this show that couldn’t be summarized pretty quickly in the first five minutes of Captain America 4.

Yeah, agreed. You got it.

Yeah. I wasn’t shocked when they killed Maria Hill because, well, Marvel hasn’t known what to do with her in years and that made her the “right” character to kill off in order to raise the stakes. That’s not something I’m in favor of but I think we’re all familiar with it as a pretty standard (lazy?) storytelling…

But like I said, the weird thing is I love Minish Cap! I dunno how much overlap there is between the Oracle games and Minish Cap but I assume it’s pretty similar. Maybe the experience they had from making the Oracle games helped them level up enough to make a classic Zelda game.

The funny thing is I genuinely enjoyed the 2007 Transformers movie, even buying the DVD and showing it to friends, but the reviews of Revenge of the Fallen were so bad that while a friend and I were driving to the theater to see it we actually wound up talking ourselves out of it and then I haven’t seen a Transformers…

The first time I saw this page was on Tumblr and somebody had edited so that Optimius (or... or, Orion Pax? I dunno this stuff, man) is asking if a hotdog is a sandwich and listen: I will never not see this scene without thinking of that.

I kept seeing people being so down on Secret Invasion and my wife and I were talking last night that while it’s definitely not our favorite show we’ve watched recently it’s been perfectly fine.

The entire moment with them in the pub was... so good.

I wish I liked these games better! I got Oracle of Ages a few years after it came out and wound up getting stuck somewhere in Death Mountain and never beating it. I finally played both of these when they came to 3DS and they’re definitely very good, but they also feel kinda... clunky? Like, it feels like they added so…

I mean, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks more or less fit the bill in terms of having lots of things to do on the map and fighting through themed dungeons, but the combination of the touchscreen-based controls and the vehicle-based gameplay on the overworld, they definitely have very different vibes than other 2D…

So something like this?h
