Tale

I have a bunch of firebombs. But the firebombs only do 1 damage to each swarm. The swarms move too fast and then I'm stuck throwing into melee at -8 penalty. I'd need to roll an 18 to hit.

This might be probably bug, but try to put down all your armour before sleep. In PnP sleeping in armour unless you have Endurance feat makes you fatigued/exhausted. I do not know how the game handles this though. Still had no chance to buy it. Game handles it automatically. If you get ambushed, armored characters fight without.

Oh, and word of advice. There's a tooltip that tells you that torches do AOE damage and swarms hate them. The tooltip is a bloody liar. Who gives a swarm something like 30 HP, anyway? It's madness!

I ran around the map grinding random encounters, then went back to the area I was having trouble at. Fought a few things I thought would be too strong, found they weren't, and eventually hit level 3. And then ended up in a place that rounded out my party to 6. Let's do this! Only downside is I don't have enough rations to rest inside a dungeon.

I've heard lots of complaints about balance and, frankly, I have to agree. I'm running an area that I think is supposed to be where I'm supposed to be and half the enemies die in one hit and the other half hold person or fear spam me until my tanks die. There's no consistency. It's not even off the main quest. I'm on the main quest and running into traps that my Bard failed and triggered three times in a row. Then swarmed by giant centipedes that fall down dead, who then get backed up by rogues and priests who hold spam my tanks so the rogues can gank them. There was one part on this main quest where I got a new party member who was standing right next to a sword and board bad guy the moment they joined me. He crushed her in two swings. My guys killed two other guys, went to face that one, and he crushed two of them as well before going down. He wasn't a boss. Dude didn't have a name. He was just some mook who got enlarge person cast on him in round one. Took me three reloads before I daze spammed that guy enough to save the new party member, and then had her light cure spam one of the tanks. He still took the tank out and then her. So I took the win of only 2 of my party going down instead of 4.

Now I just need a dino movie with feathers.

I just think sword and spell are cool. Bow and spell is lame.

Latest season of Bojack is pretty okay. Not nearly as soul shattering as many previous ones.

I finally finished Welcome to Nightvale. Very fun and silly book. Now I'm back to my weeb crap with Konosuba 6. When I'm done with that, I'll probably be reading Cormac McCarthy's the Road as inspiration for my current writing project.

I feel like you're spoiling a book I've already read twice. I really should read it again.

How the heck are you guys remembering that book subplot? I was obsessed with Jurassic Park in the 90s and about the only thing I remember from the books is the Pteranadon river in JP and the invisible dino in LW. Also this was a very fun movie. I have to recommend it.

I went ahead and bought the Imperial edition. I love the party split at the end of the tutorial. I got most of what I wanted, Barbarian girl, vampire cutie, and some tower shield lady. Kind of wanted the Dwarf instead, but I'll take her. But why is that girl journaling as if she's in my party? I had the hardest time deciding between Magus and Sorcerer. Magus looks like it has MAD issues so I gave up on it. And as per tradition you can't romance her. Curse this hollow world. Alas, when will our demands for Viconia 2.0 be heard? On reflection, I'm thinking about restarting as a Magus. Someone convince me not to.

A neutral evil vampire cutie? Well well well.

Only TWD season 1 made a profit. Wow. (Edit: And Minecraft) Edit: Official Statement from their Twitter. https://twitter.com/telltalegames/status/1043252010999410689/

I'd agree that others were taking their idea and doing better. Until Dawn comes to mind. But Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us were still incredible. I'll continue to wonder what could have been with season 2.

Telltale games is shutting down. From what I can gather, it sounds like they're laying everyone off except just enough team to finish the final season of The Walking Dead. Then they're done. http://gamasutra.com/view/news/327085/Report_The_Walking_Dead_developer_Telltale_Games_closing_down.php https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/21/17888162/telltale-games-layoffs-the-walking-dead As always, here's to hoping people land on their feet.

I hope they just have a bad ADR for this trailer. Because I really want them to pull this off. Growing up the character seemed like B-list eyecandy Marvel didn't really know what to do with. I know Marvel has supposedly turned it around in the comics, but it'll be great to finally see her grow into her own without wading into years worth of serial baggage.

428 Shibuya Scramble A popular visual novel using live action instead of drawing. It's a mystery revolving around a kidnapping case with plenty of expected Japanese wackiness. One moment you're reading about a cop chasing down an international crime syndicate operating in Shibuya, the next moment you're reading about Tama, who is stuck in a cat mascot costume and is trying to peddle a spicy drink as a dietting miracle.

Yeah, I'm having surprising difficulty at times in Spider-Man. Thugs are a lot more willing to gang up on you all at once than in the Arkham games. But that's because Spidey can do air combos Batman couldn't, probably. And the prompt to dodge/counter is a lot harder to notice. It's white for dodge and light blue for the counter window.

Finished Destiny 2 to my satisfaction. It was very good. I could see myself running through it again another time. On to Spider-Man! I love the Scarlet Spider costume. The Advanced Suit seems a little too sporty. I keep expecting to see a Nike swoosh on it.

I wouldn't say I gave up to boredom, but I couldn't give you a better idea of why I did give up. Apathy? Like I don't remember what was even going on with the story and definitely recall feeling like there was no motivation.

Wait, I finished Warmind already? That felt like it just ended. On to Forsaken. Already got a new subclass spec and super. It's fun.

Just in time for the Forsaken expansion. :D Only Warmind in my way now. Finished the Curse of Osiris expansion. I swear Bungie has the best environment artists in the industry. Pretty good music guys. They still appear to need better writers. One of those Vanguard fireteam characters, the Warlock, says she'll be with us the final mission of the expansion and I think "finally!" She appears, opens a door, and then just waits while you do all the work. There's more personality in credit card mailers than in these characters.

I finished the Destiny 2 base campaign. Lots of fun, if completely flat emotionally. Halo had this great partnership with Master Chief and Cortana which got expanded as the series went along. Destiny has the potential for that with it's three fireteam members, but they did not do anything with them except serve as McGuffins you have to collect who occasionally throw out something on the radio. But still tons of fun and I look forward to more.

Did I mention I watched Upgrade over the weekend? That movie was surprisingly fantastic.
