    General Gaming News and Discussion

    My pen and paper history was AD&D to Shadowrun, with a lot of dawn of internet forum / newsgroup arguing over SR, so its just my personal nostalgia. Disclaimer: I need to give serious reattempts to Disco, BG3, Divinity, and Witcher 3, all of which fell off due to real life time crunches.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    What the hell is an RPG now anyway? I mean that literally - which do you include / exclude out of Mass Effect / Cyberpunk 2077 / Fallout 4? Those characters have wildly different skill sets and narratives based on your choices. Is it background stats? Because then Grand Theft Auto San Andreas...

    Andor

    That was the biggest complaint of the first season, for each of the three-episode arcs, the first two probably could have been condensed into a single 'setup' episode. I personally think these damn kids need to adjust their Adderall schedules, but given the sheer amount of content fighting for...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Just to remind everyone, Bethesda never even finished bugfixing their Fallout 4 graphic update. Yeah, fixing graphical upgrades is now beyond them. Fortunately, Virtuous was actually in charge of this, though I am morbidly fascinated at how many ugly issues we'll get combining Gamebryo and...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    What's this, the basest excuse to link Young Scrolls?

    Daredevil: Born Again

    That.. was definitely a Frankenstein creation. Given what the new guys apparently had to work with from the original Disney version, I can't blame the new showrunners too harshly for the end result, but Disney should have tossed all the old material (and never made it in the first place) and...

    The Running Man

    I wasn't old or British enough to get anything out of Last Night in Soho beyond the technical aptitude, but Edgar Wright still gets a blank check for life from me for Hot Fuzz.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    8GB cards just aren't enough memory in 2025.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They're doubling the rate you get (non-Darkfuse) reps with 11.1.5 - and good thing too, as I think it was going to be five months until I could start working on paragon rewards. But again, its not the total time investment that sucks (you could probably spend 10 minutes twice a week there and...

    Mission: Impossible 8 (2025)

    I would consider 1 (at least the first 90% of it), 2, and 3-8 all separate genres. While the internet now hates JJ Abrams (you should hate DIsney for not having a long term plan for Star Wars and letting Rian Johnson throw grenades into the franchise in the middle of a trilogy), I still think...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    To Brah's point, literally all pregnancies for women 35+ are considered 'geriatric pregnancies'. Kirby's hardly an old woman (though she has hit the age where super low body fat doesn't help attractiveness), but she is literally old for a first time mother.

    Warfare

    Karl Urban has flat out said Garland was the actual main director on Dredd as well - Karl Urban Claims Alex Garland Actually Directed ‘Dredd,’ Not Pete Travis - though this sounds more like main editor.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    With Flacco signing, Browns in position to forgo drafting QB at No. 2 Is it possible Sanders slides all the way to the Saints, or do the Panthers or Jets actually get the Steelers to move up? Yeah, this is the time of year when we hear theoretical after theoretical only for everyone to do...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Is literally one person on Earth surprised that they decided to turn a modern Sue into a girlboss momboss? Especially in a world that's culturally set in the late 50s / early 60s?
