I finished Toll of Hounds and the convergence was entertaining as always. I'm determined to finish the series now but I don't know if I'll continue on to the other Malazan books. Karsa doesn't do much for me, but I'll reserve judgement until the end of the series.

I might have to go see this in the theater. A low RT "critic" score can be a good thing in the current era.

I think I'm the only one at work that doesn't have my phone loaded down with fast food apps. I don't want fast food to be an easy option since I meal prep the majority of my meals. Eating out is a social thing for me, so regular restaurants in my area are a better option. And the food is the...

Which one do you think she chose?

I think you're right. AC1- middle eastern 2/Bro/Rev - Italian - Renaissance Italy 3 - Native American - Cololonial America Black Flag - Welsh - Cololonial era Rogue - American Irish - Cololonial era Unity - French - Revolutionary France Syndicate - British - Industrial Revolution England...

Also looks like the assumption that this is DEI forced is true. This is not the original vision for the game.

Lol, it gets even better. There appears to be an online requirement to play.

Rumors true. Official trailer. I'm out, unless I see someone like @Utnayan posting that this is the game of the decade. Woke is an easy filter for me these days.

You might have seen it elsewhere on the internet. When I was looking at it old threads/discussions on reddit and other forums, there were rumors Yasuke would be the lead in AC:Red(Shadow's code name at the time) on threads going back 7-9 months, so this isn't completely new info on the internet...

If they wanted to do a Black lead, why not Mali, Songhai, or some other African setting? There's plenty to choose from in that Era. Doing it in AC Japan can only be for woke points. This'll probably be a pass for me. I couldn't even make it through Valhalla and Mirage looked boring. Japan could...

It's time for Ubisoft to flop another one out. This time in Feudal Japan. https://store.ubisoft.com/us/assassins-creed-shadows/660e5a17fbff4e2940488bce.html?lang=en_US It's rumored Yasuke, a black samurai will be the main character, and a female shinobi as the other. Supposed leaked artwork...

Had Slim Chicken for the first time on a couple years. They'd been disappointing to me since they started expanding as a regional chain. I wasn't disappointed this time. The restaurant was clean and they had the food out pretty quick. The wings and sauce were great, crispy fresh fries and, and...

3/4ths of through Toll of the Hounds and it's a slog. I'm back to hoping all the characters die. I know it'll probably pick up near the end.

A mix of those, the pizza deep dish curls, and jalapeño curls would probably be amazing. I can't buy Herrs curls very often because I want to eat the whole bag in one sitting, everytime.

If you have audible plus, that book is currently included with membership.

Whoever threw these in here know's what's up. That's an award winning combination right there.

I'm convinced every character is at least midly retarded. Some more than others.

I finished it last night. The story is OK, on par with the average Bethesda story. Where it excels is the atmosphere, mood, music and costumes. Someone on staff is very familiar with Fallout /New Vegas setting. Other thoughts The lead actress looks a bit like a Bethesda NPC to me. Walton...

They work on heroic adventure finish exp, which appears to be crap in EoK compared to previous expansions. What a weird meta, putting exp progression in achievements. I did 1 CoV progression mission thus far. Anything more that one mob at a time kicks my ass at 111. I think I'll stick to doing...

Interesting. Doesn't seem like that model would leave any room for XP pot use. Or the persona feature really, outside of boxers. Do people even bother using their lessons most days going from 110 to 125? I do, but it nets less and less. I like the mission system, but the zones have been empty...

So is grinding for xp at later levels largely out? Do regular quests give more exp, or just the achievements? If it's just he achievements, how do they expect buy in for personas?

I've just been grinding my daily lesson, since that's about as much daily play time as I can fit in anyway. My next persona group, which will be a long way off, will be odd indeed. I want all 3 tanks on one character for no good reason. The warrior is 101, but the Paladin I'll start from 0...

The sisters of silence are the real losers in the retcon. They were essentially the female Custodes for game teams, and are interesting lorewise. In the heresy / seige of Terra books, there were some good SoS pov characters and SoS/Custodes partnerships.

Progression achievements, collections or both? I've got so much ground to cover I've bot paid them any attention thus far.

The last segment about deposing Nixon was good. I didn't realize Woodward went directly from Navy intelligence to star reporter with the scoop of a lifetime. Mighty suspicious for a brand new reporter. Overall good ep. I don't really expect to believe everything he says, but it's interesting to...

Shiteaters are just gonna keep eating shit. They'll just keep eating whatever their favorite companies keep shoveling out and come back for more, no matter what it is. You see it all over gaming. GW really needs people to want to buy their stuff, because 3d printers will soon be able to produce...

Just looking at dumpster fire that is YouTube commentary and comments sections, GW has managed to fracture their audience. I think the thing that separates it from a simple lore change drama is that they lied, then proceeded to disemble and gaslight their audience.

I picked up some ToV armor for my tank this weekend that has given my group a pretty big boost, and the rest nearly have full EoK. I think I'll wrap up my tour and move on to RoS. Exp has substantially slowed down, so I think I'll just take my time and do a RoS > TBL > ToV tour, and hopefully...

I did gribbles 4 or 5 times before it got boring. I tried to do as many different missions as possible before I leveled out of needing that cotf gear. I'm 110 now and I've made it through the end of the almar's guide. Currently wandering around EoK zones because there seems to be a big jump...

Reaper's gale picked up towards by the end and I enjoyed the book. The middle dragged a bit and got a little preachy. Onward to Toll of the hounds. This is my first time through the last 4 books in the series.

I'm halfway through Reapers gale and the post modern/Marxist philosophical ramblings of the characters internal dialogs are getting to be a bit much. Its an interesting world, fun pantheon, interesting magic system and it has a lot of fun characters. But the man really doesn't like anything...

The thing GW seems to do better than others is model quality at their current scale, combined with relatively easy assembly. But I have seen some very nice models coming out of 3d printers. I'd buy a 3d printer, but I don't have time to assemble and paint the stuff I already have in boxes.

Just think of all the thousands of dollars saved in nostalgia purchases.

I just couldn't get into the MMO aspect of it. I got out of the vault and started wandering around, but once I started running into other players, I couldn't get into it. Maybe I just want my Fallout to be the lone wanderer in the wastes. I'll always have New Vegas.

Gay? Straight? What does either have to do with warhammer 40k? Outside of maybe hints related to Slanesh, I can't think of any sex in the lore or the 70 odd novels that I've read. And none certainly none in the Custodes stories. If someone wants to fantasize about their golden boys banging each...

The female custodes is all ideology driven. No surprise since they're a bunch of woke brits backed by some ESG/DEI pushing megacorps. Games workshop as a business isn't very interested attracting new players in the way they conduct themselves. They want to keep milking the same group of...

The gaslighting by GW official Twitter and the victory laps by the wokeosphere, who will probably never by GW products, are hilarious.

I just mounted 2 u7 pros in my house this weekend. Absolute overkill for the size of my house, but I'm not running any more cable besides the run to my office. It was the last piece of non-ubiquiti networking equipment at home.

So they aren't abandoning first party for their major titles yet, like some of the rumors were saying? I get why the xbox fanboys would be mad, but for me it'd just be one less console to buy.
