En Guarde! The game looks very pretty and sounds very campy. Sephonie I spent about 15 minutes reassigning the controls and the other settings. The default FOV, which seems to be still present in the cut-scenes, was ridiculously high. Hellpoint This was happening rarely, but more often than I would like. Defeated the boss but died from a projectile. And my untimely demise spawned a green NPC invader with my equipment and slightly lower stats (source: I looked at the save file. The thing is there as a "ghost"). For some reason, it took several tries to get the Imgur links to be shown as images. Probably, should report as a bug.2 points

Necromunda: Hired Gun has an achievement to kill 100 enemies while wallrunning. I don't think I have killed any enemies while wallrunning at all...1 point

If you fall asleep during a movie, have you truly watched it? I think you have to go back and start over, .1 point

In terms of overall usefulness no summon beats the Animated Weapons imo. They are not only fairly tanky and can spread out but also they each have several uses of special attacks (Pike: Knockdown, Warbow: Wounding Shot and Great Sword: Flames of Devotion) which adds a lot of offensive potential (for example more accuracy than a standard attack). The Dragon has one (or two) advantages: he is very tanky (huge health pool) and takes up a lot of ground space, blocking a big area. While his standard attack is weak, his active attack abilities (fire breath, tailswipe and so on) do scale very well with his high Power Level and thus have great effect. Only if you used them all up he starts to suck offensively. The second advantage is that a Dragon can profit from an Ancient Druid's "Wild Growth" spell. This is just hilarious: not only does it give the beast summon the Robust inspiration for the entire summoning duration (Wild Growth has no duration, it's basically permanent for that summon), making it even harder to kill - it also makes it bigger. You can imagine how cool an already huge Dragon can be if you enlarge him even further. What a mountain of an ally. He will block an enormous amount of space for you. This can be a disadvantage, too: if the space is verys limited he might get stuck. But usually it's very useful because he will occupy a lot of enemies with his big size. This also works with Drakes (all summoned beasts), but they are considerably weaker. If you like Wildrhymer I'd say Animated Weapons is good enough though. Also Many Lives Pass By (phrase on PL7) is accessible as multiclass. The automatically summoned Skeletons don't count towards the summoning limit and "stack" with other summons (and Animal Companion). So you can have Chanter summon + Animal Companion + Skeletons. A nice synergy of Chanter + Ranger is that you can revive the Animal Companion as often as you want with an invocation. So it's not the end of the world if the Animal Companion goes down early. It cannot get injured so it's as good as new after getting revived. My preferred multiclass for summoning is Troubadour/Psion because it can add lots of "temporary allies" (aka charmed/dominated enemies) to the collection of summons. Also both resources (phrases and Psion's focus) work the same for a Chanter/Psion and you will almost never run out of casting fuel (unless you get hit all the time which usually doesn't happen due to so many alternative weak cannon fodder targets).1 point

Yup, exactly the same for me. I was high school class of '86 and college class of '89, so the '80s was the decade when I was young and into music. Got exposed to a lot of '70s and '60s music as well because I always had the radio on while doing my homework or building my model airplanes which was my afternoons after school. I literally don't know any music after about 2000. Edit: Gotta' love that '80s hairdo on Stevie.1 point

...at last, a city that might be big enough. ...unfortunately I don't like the way the RWG generator works anymore - well, for stupid mega cities anyway. It's still "ok" for normal maping. But even there they come out a lot more ... generic ... then in past versions. The illusion of the random is disappearing. Just simlar splat patterns and repeating/repetitious city tiles.1 point

I'll see you and raise you five Madame Web (2024) I know that on forums like these we often engage in hyperbole and exaggeration, but I can sincerely say that this is easily one of the worst films I have ever seen, if not the worst. On every single level this movie just ****ing sucks, from the bad cgi to wooden acting to a plot so damn stupid even by the stupid standards of superhero movies....it's just ****ing awful. Luckily I fell asleep for a quarter of it.1 point

The 80's will for me always be a "golden age" when it comes to music... (I do love a lot of 60's and 70's band/artists too though)1 point

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). I sat down and watched this from beginning to end. The whole thing. These movies are just terribly constructed from about every possible aspect - most egregiously writing - but their one saving grace is they are very easy to make fun of and laugh at, not to mention the memes. This whole saga is basically Baby's First Romeo and Juliet Space Opera Parody, except the baby here is George Lucas. Don't ever let this guy back into the writing room...or the director's seat. Being easy to make fun of at least makes them more enjoyable to watch than the sequel series, which just hurts my brain and makes me want to initiate a system shutdown. It's something.1 point

...when it's warm enough outside that your house A/C setting of 80F/26.5C feels like opening the freezer door (for the first few minutes you walk inside, at least). ...midnight last night: 85F/29.5C -- 5am this morning: 70F/21C -- Yesterday/Today-currently: 113F/45C Now, no mistake, we're in a normally warm area. So it's frequently 95F-102F/35C-39C in summer regardless. I'm kinda used to that by now. But ugh, could it just stay there and not ever go higher? No? Ah well. Definitely more a of nightowl in summer here than ever before. It's the only time it's "nice."1 point

Hellpoint. Climbed almost on top of a spacious vertical tunnel (or whatever that was) and accidentally jumped back from a "ladder" instead of to the left. Decided that the game might not be for me after all. While it is possibly the best platforming I have seen in a Souls-like, it is not exactly comfortable to play. I am unsure if the passage I took was mandatory or optional. In general, the lack of landmarks (there are a lot of corridors) makes the navigation more challenging than it should be. Crystal Tales Tactics. The developers resolved the progress-stopping bug at the end of Chapter 8, but the intro cut-scene in Chapter 9 gets stuck.1 point

It's funny that Trump will probably win because the dems couldn't convince Biden to go home and their uncritical support for Israel's slaughter of Gaza alienates key blocs they need to win. They have been screaming that this is the most important election in the history of elections but can't make a single tactical move to try to help their electoral chances, let alone attempt to curtail Trump and Leonard Leo's goons in any other way. Honestly it's just pathetic to watch a party this bad at real politics being the only electoral bulwark against the most abominable political ghouls still breathing. I dunno, maybe an economic crash happens with Trump/Project 2025 and Marx or Bakunin gets proved right. There's probably more of a chance of thay happening than the dems getting their **** together.1 point

I would prefer not to. The intro sequence is awful, and after that it segues into one of the ****tiest ambulance scenes that has been inflicted on me. Beyond that half the time it feels like the cast is doing line reads to memorize the part instead of acting, it's like the shockingly bad Florence Pugh line in Dune 2 but in almost every goddamn scene of this movie. Then in the middle of the action, where the future Spider-Women are being hunted by evil bizness Spider-Man, the titular character drops the girls off with Uncle Ben (yes that one) and ****s off to Peru for a week to discover her past and does some vision quest stuff....because evil bizness Spider-Man who has a hacker lady using 2003 NSA tech and facial recognition on every camera in NYC can't figure out the lady preventing him from killing some teenagers (and whose mom he killed btw) has a friend who has a sister? Come the **** on Sony. I figure I fell asleep during the most action heavy sequences, and I've played enough 10 year old videogames to have an idea how it looked. Anyways I woke up for the end, where the main character is now blind and paraplegic but is also the legal guardian/mother figure to three teenagers who will grow up to put on gaudy Spider-themed costumes and fight random scrubs. This is what happens when I put on a terrible movie to knock me out when I'm trying to sleep, so I guess I can credit it for helping with that.0 points

Just pay him money and it's a done deal. This guy is not for the US, but for Trump and Trump only. Let's be real, he would sell out everyone around him in a heartbeat as long as he gets something out of it.0 points

Even just 1 or 2 points on that list would be a catastrophe for the US. In any case, Trump is easily manipulated. If the right people have access to him, a lot can be made to happen.0 points

If we look Trump's first term, we can say there isn't ideas that are too extreme for the Trump. Question is more about how much support he gets in congress to push the ideas. Trump himself is principleless vane that goes where wind (his base's opinion) at that moment blows.0 points
