Yeah pretty much. D:OS 2 has more intuitive mechanics than BG3 does, but otherwise BG3 is a better game in every way. It helps to be familiar with D&D rules, but BG3 normal difficulty is not aimed at min-max poopsockers in any way, and you have so little you can do a low levels in DND you get...

The drones they use have a top speed of 40mph - they have to be pretty close to get anything to her inside an hour, let alone a specific flavor of gatorade. I was mostly joking though, it could actually take hours for the drones to get to her, it's not like you'd film that.

Over Michael Caine ? That's crazy talk ! ;p There's a reason 'Some men just want to watch the world burn' is a whole thing.

Actually, that one kind of checks out, given the unreasonably fast drone response times ;p

Bah, I lol'ed hard when they panned over the entire studio dressed like mimes. Some well deserved wins for E33 there, although I felt bad for the entire best debut category - obviously E33 deserved the win there, but that's like having a NFL linebacker play in your middle school football game.

As a general rule, people don't write huge walls of text unless they are emotionally invested in something. Nitpicking and arguing about trivial shit is the nerd version of approval. Genuinely bad stuff leaves people too apathetic to even bother talking about it.

Sure it does - if it is a doomsday weapon designed by politically correct enlightened liberal sensibilities. Sure, we are going to kill everyone, but there's no reason to be *rude* about it, everyone will be happy and get along, there'll be no violence, just a slow, happy, peaceful end, hell...

Probably yes, give them time to watch it first ;p And, as much as pains me: Sorry, you were pretty much exactly right, about everything other than it being a plot hole or bad writing obviously. I was joking about 'plants are living !', but apparently not. Lack of grass a benefit of filming...

Like most of Sky Pride, it's an interesting take that makes considerably more sense than the common tropes. The common fantasy of being 'boss of everything' is all power and no responsibility, but that's not a structure that actually works in reality. If the boss doesn't know shit about what's...

Well - I have to give the dev for this one credit. After getting way better than expected sales he announced three expansions for next year - for free. That's surely someone that loves their job.

Interns are mostly paid in 'valuable real world experience' and 'opportunity for advancement', so that doesn't surprise me much. I dunno on the commie/capitalism front though - CEO takes money from his peasants valued employees for personal gain is pretty peak capitalism ;p Jokes aside, they...

Someone here recommended this one from memory - fun time waster, it's a super fast roguelite kingdom building /auto-battler. You build up various buildings and hire troops to help your hero defend against giant waves of enemies, and then level and gear them up. The trick with that one is that...

Yeah, the aliens knowing enough about human genetics and psychology that this plan worked is almost as implausible as the FTL comms needed for the hive mind to work. Maybe less so on the signal frequency and encoding - there's nothing to say this was the only broadcast they were doing - they...

True, if they wanted people to know what's going on, they should have made a powerpoint presentation explaining it in 6th grade language and shown it to Carol, so the audience got to see it.

Uh, they deliberately recreated the nucleotide sequence the aliens broadcast to them and injected rats with it to see what it did ? I though that was pretty clear from the first episode ?

As a response to : "So, you are vegetarian ?" "That would be our preference." you seem to have gone off the deep end, kept diving, found the ocean floor and started digging. "We can't purposely end life" is a lot different in the context of 'Can you go kill something for me to eat'. The...

I finished caves of lore recently - nice oldschool rpg with controls that work well with mobile. Pay up front, no mtx of any type.

Uh, TV show only guy I guess ? It depends when the game is set, but post Laconia has as much realistic grounding as Halo or Mass Effect. I am not sure where you're going with it in any case - it's pretty close to 100% certain that whatever storyline the game devs come up with won't be as good...

It wasn't 30 seconds though - the initial takeover lasted long enough for Carol to panic, steal a truck, load wife into the truck, drive her to hospital and then explore emergency room. Seems more like 20-30 min. Even the scene we saw on the show was more than 10 minutes. For Helen - there's no...

Ep3 is some quality comedy: "I'm very independent'. looool.

Oh cool, the island stuff was the worst part about this otherwise pretty fun game. Might have to give it another fresh run.

Huh, I've read all of those. That's a first for a list of anything I think. I don't remember many of them wow'ing me though, although there weren't any I hated either - that being said the list skews way older so there was considerably less competition when many of them were released...

I am pretty sure that is the least effective human resistance movement in any media ever ;p

They certainly started this series with a bang. Unlike other shows, you certainly can't complain about them taking a long time to get to the point.

The upgrades come fast enough in normal game that it is never particularly difficult - unless you focus only on one map by the time you get up to fast+6 and higher you 'outgear' them by a lot - NG+ scales very quickly though.

It is, but black hole sun is a fusion of black hole and sun, which is a *very* different beast. Give it a try ;p

Speaking of overpowered fusions - give Black Hole Sun a try - I am assuming that's an intentional reference ;p ( Fire + Light -> Sun + Dark -> Blackhole ) Overgrowth + any AOE is also pretty absurd, I am reasonably sure there's a bug in there somewhere in the calculations. Nosferatu + any...

I've had a few strong recommendations, but when I went to check it out, it looks like the entire series, including ones from 20 years ago, are at more than full price for a AAA game still. The series is like a thousand bucks to buy all of them, not including the endless amount of DLC ;p I am...

Ehhh, it wasn't horrible, I'll probably watch the 2nd episode, but I am in no rush. Talamasca chick constantly looks like she is about to crack up at her lines, fabulous vampire really can't do menacing, and the initial job pitch makes the Talamasca seem like incompetent assholes.

I could see an argument for average quality, but I don't think you could argue peak sherlock < peak elementary with a straight face.

Eh, Cavill and Affleck were probably too tainted by batman v superman to continue regardless of plans. It's hard to get new fans to go back and watch from the beginning to know what's going on.

Usagi drop would probably work if spy x family does.

They gave up on that after people gave them shit for being greedy, now they just stick with passive aggressive warnings like 'this drive's manufacturer hasn't paid us kickbacks this drive hasn't been certified for use in this NAS'

Season overall was kind of 'eh'. I liked the first season a lot more than I expected to, but s2 was pretty uneven in comparison. Not a fan of 'this universe now officially works on shonen anime rules - bad guy too tough ? just try harder for unexplained in-fight powerup'

It's not like show is going for any attempt at subtlety, but this seems like a terrible take given that it isn't even slightly true, starting with Starlight herself.

I don't remember it ever being funny, at best it was.. amusing ? At least I don't remember ever laughing out loud at any of their 'jokes'. The last season seemed pretty average for the series, so if you liked the rest of it I can't see why you'd be raging or offended. At the very least it's...

I was coming to recommend this one too actually. It was my favorite demo from last next-fest by a long way, and the full version released yesterday. I've put in about 13 hours since then, so thumbs up from me. It's a crazy mashup of breakout, vampire survivors and darkest dungeon - the combat...

"At least my lot fuck up on a epic scale, they aren't run-of-the-mill fuckups like yours" Ahahahaha.

Added this to wishlist earlier after seeing the Retromation video on it - looks like my kind of thing, but the backlog is sooo bad hah.

Link is messed up, but Gideon the Ninth. Yes, I've read it, I thought it was pretty good, mostly the extremely weird setting - it's like gothic horror sci-fi with the undead running a galactic empire. Be warned, it's very weird. The second book takes that weird and cranks it up to 11 ( it's...
