Top Gun inspired Hot Shots and that makes it OK in my books. Also I tried to remember things about Top Gun and realized that everything (well except for Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer totally wanting a piece of each other) was actually from Hot Shots... Having recently rewatched Aliens, I still find it very, well, watchable. Stupider, sure, but I dunno, all that gun porn feels good and Vasquez rules. Would've edited out the kid though, or at least her eardrum-piercing squealing.

Just buy that girl the Red Salamander ring already!

You do that. Beasties are no nonsense useful and powerful in this game.

Putting the spotlight on the celestial raptor is a very good reason for reposting, going raptor was probably the best advice I lifted from these here Pathfinder threads. Raptor's the reason Lann's in all my parties (though as divine hunter he's no slouch himself either), tried one party without and it felt so...unnatural. Plus the aggressor raptor does bleeding damage and it has delicious synergy with my crit-stacking instinctual warrior trickster with "on crit, instakill wounded things who bleed" falchion. Tip: you can put a charisma diadem on the raptor. Also, gloves (there even is one very balanced-for-celestial-raptor set), and a cape and bracers and a belt, which raises a question why they drew the line at rings and goggles. ...and now I want to play it again.

I found demon both mechanically underwhelming and RP-wise quite silly, because you're essentially Ragey McEdgelord who absolutely must assert dominance on everything and anything -- in other words, a teenager. Legend I liked a lot. Reminded me a bit of the best ending of Bloodlines aka .

I had (still have, left them in Chapter 3 until GOTY edition) a party with wildland shaman PC and Ember with Cam leaning into hexes. The debuff pile-up was very handy in early to early-mid levels. Also from RP angle a party that constantly curses and chants has to be a delight. "Piss off, you wanker!" "Jai guru deva..." "U fokin wot mate?!?!" "Ommmmmmm..."

Cam's a bit secretive, but she'll come clean soon enough, don't you worry. I gave her a chance after keeping her benched for couple o'first playthroughs and what do you know, she is useful and v. good at what she does. It's just that her low levels really suck.

I only ever finished BG1 twice. Once -- years ago -- did Sarevok in by cheating. Second time -- many years and experience in RPGs later -- buffed up to the gills, ready to kite him through all the traps I laid beforehand...and then as soon as I split him from his posse the wand of paralysis connects and alas, poor Sarevok. My level was higher, I think, in eights or nines. I also liked Dragonspear much more than BG1, so, yeah. Gimme those tomatoes.

Halfway through Stranger Things 4. That whole Hopper subplot - why is it even there? So many contrivances, asspulls and schmaltz ("You're a superhero, 11! Plz save the world!" ), sometimes I felt like I was watching a telenovella. Vecna looks like a ghoul from Fallout and shuffles like a geriatric zombie despite of being so effin' ripped. 2 out of 10 for scary presence, 8 out of 10 for making me want to play NV again. For something leaning into horror of eighties so much they cast Englund, there is way, way not enough of slashed teens. "Stranger Things by way of Until Dawn" would be such and improvement, not to mention help with cast bloat. Especially since at least three of them have no purpose whatsoever. Wish they gave something more to do to Eddie the metalhead. Such a dramatic introduction, actor kinda channeling Heath Ledger from that Shakespeare-adapted-for-high-school-setting film, and it fizzles out right after the first episode. Steve the Hair still has good comedic timing and thus is my least disliked character, though I'm warming up to Erica the Overly Sarcastic Younger Sister.

That's because it's the bestest of the three and they treat it like a dessert, i.e. in limited doses.

He's drinking paperbag tea. That monocle is undeserved.

Disco Elysium's Jamais Vu edition gave Egg Head German accent and to celebrate this I dedicate this screenshot to @majestic :

Whoops, wrong thread, pls delete

Bioware's dead and mourned, no need to piss on cooling ashes, right? We're a civilized forum here. Anyway. Still on Disco Elysium different builds. Boring cop just aced a 3% chance to remove the cadaver from the tree. Pros: sense of pride and accomplishment. Cons: no Voluminous Sh†t Compressor.

That one wasn't really that bad, kinda punk even. (Or maybe may brain's rewired by all the exposure? ) Anyway, you know - Germans. Like these:

Consider yourself lucky, Bart. I only tried a couple of seconds of each, and now I must to rinse my ears with something that Germans excel at, that is being aurally menacing.

I unironically like him.

Eh, it's probably just another case of fire safety rules violation. Or was that self-immolation due to extreme heat? I think I saw at least three different explanations from russian sources of that Crimea airport incident. P.S.: telegram statement says that "One piece of equipment caught fire during its test run after engine replacement. Crew started extinguishing it, no casualties".

That's legit great, those ladies should start a metal band! \m/

You know what else is a war crime? This entire Russian war against Ukraine. Nothing of this school-schmool thing would have happened if not for Russia's imperialistic delusions backed by tiny waxy garbage man's issues. This was the daily reminder of what is really responsible for all the awful things happening right now. (Hint: it's Russia).

Thread got pushed to page 2? That won't do!

Thanks, this apparently gave my memory a jolt because I remembered seeing "District 9" and now I know how Afrikaans accent sounds.

I loved their British accents in SWTOR, and at least a couple of them are authentic too because their VAs are British. I'm also curious now what authentic Afrikaans accent sounds like. Brief Youtube search on the subject gave me nothing decent but this:

Seal has strong opinion about that breakfast he just ordered.
