Modders will fix that.

This looks kinda awful. At the rate they're making these Middle Earth games I can't wait to play as Tom Bombadilo in a harem visual novel in 2030. "I remember the first acorn," is probably his go-to pickup line.

What's with all the Wil Wheaton pics? I thought this was the TV thread not the Peaked in the 90's thread.

Just finished Symphony of War. TLDR: Best indie trpg I've ever played. Fire Emblem is one of my favorite video game franchises and SoW scratched that Fire Emblem itch. I mainlined the whole game starting Friday night and finished early this morning. It was that good. I have only two problems, 1) the game has a menu based UI, which will make it a great game on the Switch when it gets ported but makes me frustrated that all I'm doing is left and right clicking the mouse, and 2) the Player Turn and Enemy Turn cards that come up at the end of each turn and can't be turned off--I know its my turn 'cause the enemy isn't moving. Everything else, the combat, the unit diversity, the enemy verity, the deep gameplay systems, the characters, the world building, and the story are wonderful. If you like trpg's, you have to check this game out, and its cheap.

Given they used aliens as a plot hook for a joke quest, I'm guessing there won't be any.

I bought Symphony of War yesterday and I'm already around halfway through with it. It's a mix of Fire Emblem and Dragon Force (if anyone else gets that reference you get an imaginary cookie). This game is stupid good and very challenging and it has a decent story.

Shoulda gone with Plague and killed the world with it instead.

After a decade and some blue balling earlier this week, Dragon's Domga 2 has been announced:

It might look like I'm salty about having a weeb hairdo, but I assure you that's not the case.

Last summer my niece started one of those pop-up picnic companies. Today I was helping take down a picnic and it was so hot I nearly had a heat stroke. Doing better now. Can't even tell I've lost brain cells!

^Now to get tested. Just in case. After all, Nasty brings new meaning to doing the nasty.

Found the heretic.

I've been told the key is to have Tor downloaded onto a thumbdrive, run it through a proxy with a VPN.

I canceled my reservation a month ago when gas prices started spiking. Glad I did because my f***ing god do these career politicians hate poor people.

That makes sense. Pacifica is light on content. Hearts of Stone added more quests and points of interest in the wilderness around Novigrad and in the city of Oxenfurt because both areas were light on content when the Witcher 3 launched. I wouldn't be surprised if the expansion also added stuff in the area where the nomad origin starts 'cause that's a whole map they made and only used once.

Been watching the Umbrella Academy. Finished season one. I usually find child actors insufferable but the kid who plays #5 is really good.

^Gets my vote for the title. So meta.

That's one that I skipped.

We need to be able to duel wield whips. For science.

I watched Disenchantment a few weeks ago. Pretty good blend of long term epic and social parody.

Finished Cyberpunk. Pretty good game. It doesn't have the best intro and the tutorial can be something like 15 - 20 hours. At one point I was so kitted up with cybernetics I considered raising the difficulty but left it on Normal 'cause I suck at shooters. Felt like the game threatened to melt my graphics card a few times. It runs so hot. There's an odd quest design quirk that pushes you to pursue the main plot right until the point of no return, and then to go do side content. I did what I always do in games in consuming as much side content I could before advancing the main plot. There was two quest chains (only two) I didn't finish 'cause I didn't feel like spam sleeping to move them along when I'd already done everything else. I got the good ending. Judy's story . . . well, that was the quest chain that left me questioning if I would continue to play. The driving is kinda bad. The cars felt floaty. they slid around a lot. Also, way have a first person driving mode that only shows you one half of the view looking out the window? Don't know about you guys, but I peripheral vision. Really good game. Highly recommend despite the bugs.

The day has finally come for us canines. Beg for forgiveness, humans, but you will receive none.
