    They melt the thing, something totally unnecessary to do even with their goals as stated, so Lily can re-pen Pennywise in the last episode with the dagger she has thus giving the series an ending that isn't everyone dying. This is such a better look for Pennywise it hurts.

    I thought the opening was fine along with the fire itself (even if the cooler survival was stupid, you could have killed the little Cuban kid a dozen ways that were less stupid) but I'm shocked at how fucking stupid it got for the last act.

    It was stated in the beginning part of the livestream more than once that druid spells lasted for a while so you could turn in to a thing and continue pressing buttons for extra effects. Slam on a volcano as a bear and more balls come out, that kind of thing. Long-lasting primal spells might...

    1. Druid combat appears slow and buttonsy 2. Synthesis and Lake of Kalandra had a baby and it was raised by Alva 3. We reduced pack size! They might all be great but as presented of course the reaction was negative. Shit's gotta look cool and if it doesn't look cool you gotta really sell us on...

    It's going to be a case where they forget that a 40% increase has a huge multiplicative effect as modifiers get piled. Going to end up with some real brick shithouse rares.

    As presented the druid did look undertuned. Some of that is on purpose to slow down combat to allow time for the narrator to explain step by step and to show off the effects but I do worry that it's going to be a lot of unimpressive melee action.

    Path of Exile 2

    I liked it but it's true that it did encourage you to make a build specifically for it. I did it on zero defense spell totems. After a certain rating every single thing was a one-shot so I didn't have a lot of options. The rewards were fine with it being the only way to obtain the newly...

    Entering a map to be surrounded by hive walls when you're just trying to do your thing gets old fast. Likewise with doing an encounter you'd otherwise skip except it's in the way.

    I like the Bloodlines as they are but I'm a sucker for flavor. I really would have liked it if Sin flew down each time you killed one of the appropriate bosses and had new dialogue. As a means to help bandaid weaker ascendancies or give additional support to under-supported mechanics (ward)...

    "You can get high on your mom's medication" and "black people are super chill, go in to their bars and order drinks" are irresponsible messages to the extreme. Schools devote classroom time each year telling kids not to raid the medicine cabinet.

    If you're going to hand out this much character power you need something for people to direct it at. A big part of why Affliction was so successful is the high character power combined with how much stank the Wildwood let you put on to every single map at a cost no higher than being able to...

    During the scene when we first see him he watches the Patty Cakes walk down a school hallway while leaning on some lockers wearing a school band uniform. Episode 2 I think? Would have been useful to have a callback. It took me a bit to remember the little bit they showed.

    Its got a lot of problems but I think the biggest is that it just is not scary. At all. It can't build tension for shit and for some reason the director loves the monster to grow and then run super fast at the camera.

    My start was both good and bad. I launched with an Elementalist self-channeling Divine Ire. No campaign problems, no map completion problems, decent but not amazing interacting with the league mechanic, etc. It was obviously not a character I was ever going to take to 100 or anything but I had...

    I would really like an option in settings to have delirium just set things to grayscale and do nothing else graphically. I like the mechanic but I can't do the kind of stuff I want (combining it with blight for example) because it becomes a slideshow.

    I have. I liked it but the balance it has between comedy and adult themes skew a little further on the side of harem anime as it goes on. It's not like it ever becomes a porno or anything but at the same time it goes well beyond innuendo. If you're fine with that than it's a recommend...

    I assume the director really, really wanted to make more Nightmare on Elm Street sequels. Eye parasite body horror is so much more in line with Freddy.
