    Rick and Morty

    I think the technical distinction is episodic (adventure/monster of the week) versus serialized storytelling. Like the old adventure "serials" were the story continued week to week instead of being self contained. They were also called chapter plays.

    Rick and Morty

    I think he means the episodes that advance the broader narrative instead of the adventure of the week episodes. Sorta like how the X Files had it's monster episodes and then it's meta narrative conspiracy advancing episodes. Season 8 was better than 7 so let's hope the trend keeps going.

    That movie does not make sense as presented. You can go anywhere at any time and you pick a couple hours before what's his face blowing up a star and annihilating the Enterprise. That also means before you even choose a time and place you've got infinite time to plan and this was the best you...

    One of the nice things about totems is how modular they are. You're now certified to do any ballista totem in the future should you see a skill you like and there's always Good_Skill_Totem available as a starter. The atlas is way better. I'm not going to miss juggling the maps I get naturally...

    I did Mirages when I thought it made sense to (character up and running so it's not a struggle, a mechanic I'm interested/curious to double dip on) and they were alright.

    If you're absolutely hell bent on farming ritual (for example) and the Mirages are curated to try and spawn next to league mechanics it's going to behoove you to keep your atlas clean and block a lot of content.

    Being able to always do the kind of breach you want or even block the mechanic entirely fixes one of worst aspect of Keeper's league - when you're running a strategy that doesn't interact with breach but there's a huge fucking hive in all your maps.

    I'm doing spell totems and the hives go better with that but I expect to bail off of all of those nodes to unstables before end game mapping. I can't see how it would make sense to spend the time it takes to do hives or hives with extra waves as clear speed improves. The scarab that turns...
