Carl Anderson's "Heaven on their minds" was the very first rock thing I experienced, and it overwhelming my child mind with "This is life and this is me and this is everything" means it will forever sit on top of my Hoard of Sensations. I didn't see the full movie then, so the first full experience was the concept rock album too. I thought Murray Head to be boring compared to Carl Anderson, but Ian Gillan was...something else and then when I eventually saw the film Ted Neeley sounded underwhelming in comparison, though with time I warmed up to him. So I love both versions equally; that version of aughts is a travesty, though. And now for obligatory "WhyyyyYYYyyyyyyYYYYY":

Well, I went and slayed her fine, climbed up to discover I got a whole lot of literally nothing for a reward, took the "stay here for a while" option and wham, the end achieved, credits roll. I did restart later and did a full murderhobo loop though, took me about 3 hours of nice, mild horror. I'll probably try again to see if being nice to the Princess yields different results.

Oh! I too played Slay the Princess. It was way too short, less than 10 minutes I think, and my reward for slaying her sucked.

So, art assets totally going to be generated by AI, writing absolutely, AI can code, now it will do voices too, it's like wet dream of all future bobby coticks. Wish someone replaced those f*cking suits with AI, it already has advantage over them by being literally soulless instead of metaphorically.

We put buttons in meat fillings in our "zeppelins" (think of a big zep-shaped potato dumpling). Also supposed to bring luck and it's a wonder I never witnessed it bringing odontology expenses instead.

I'm not quite starved of British comedy, there's full Monty Python's Flying Circus on Netflix, "After Life" in backlog and other stuff, but this reminded me I still haven't watched the last of Cornetto trilogy, so that's something to look forward to.

Watched Love Actually. Whoever recommended me this pile of saccharine as "Witty British comedy" is up for some retribution. Maybe I'll recommend them Pet Sematary as feel good family movie.

We still talking about Latvia here? Because AFAIK nobody oppresses Russian-speaking locals there. Unless "Learn the language of the country you live in order to maybe get a better job" counts, and no, that thousand that media says might be kicked out, is very unlikely local. Also your last sentence is pointlessly long. "Break up russia --> Yes please!" is sufficient.

Are these game's original voice actors and do they chew scenery this bad in the game too?

And still failed that. Ya'll here, who analyze and argue over aesthetics of some fluff piece that gets skipped 99% of time, are definite snobs.

Bodies, Netflix series about what I thought would be a light sci-fi about good ol' time loop but actually was about four cops and their feelings. Still was pretty okay until the finale even if CGI cities looked jarringly fake, finale was not so surprisingly stupid. Like, would it bankrupt their Master Algorithm or something if they consulted a science fiction writer or two on how to resolve time travel paradox shenanigans? I also like how all TV and film dystopias make their "This is where rich people live" districts all pastel and beige and earthy as if they live in a giant IKEA or something. (Though TBH IKEA stores are dystopian and scary, especially in Christmas shopping spree time)

I don't remember any other book where I adored the world and setting but hated the protagonist with a burning passion of a thousand blue suns. Actually cheered when Was team Irulan & Bene Gesserit all the way, and now when they cast Christopher Walken, team Shaddam IV too I guess. I liked the 84 better too, but very possibly because I was young and more easily impressed. The 21 looks awesome on the big screen. Great planetary scenes, spaceships lifting off is , killer soundtrack. People stuff? Meh, except Stellan Skarsgard.

Well if it's any help there's a brothel and it gives skill boosts instead of STDs, so that's that. Almost done with Sunless Sea, moping up some quest lines. Funny how this game low-key and without judging lets you be a heartless monstrosity who helps out with mass production of cigars made out of pain and torture or feeds tourists to spiders. Also I'm pretty sure I'm not me anymore after ritual beheading. Started Sunless Skies. Whoever said it's easier is a dirty liar. For starters, no savescumming, which combined with no possibility to sneak past enemies like in Zee is a Very Bad Thing for my preferred playstyle, so I keep getting owned by RNG and random floating monstrosities. Also, starter ship is tiny and steers like a drunken baboon.

Soooo reddit says Owlcats fortified Playful Darkness by making him do damage to swarms, so no more poetic justice of giving that mutt ignominious death by thousand flea bites. Because that's apparently what this game really needs, to make fights with ridiculous characters less fun. Fixing non-stop stuns from swarms and those stupid ass crystals? LOL.

I have Tidal and it only gives simple statistics without judging my genre variety or suggesting I should move somewhere. The only thing I was able to glean from it was that I disproportionally love soundtracks, so here's a piece from Altered Carbon (wished this lady played Takeshi Kovacs throughout all of season 2 instead of that dour humorless dude who did)

I saw that adaptation and it sucked. Could be a great example of how too literal an adaptation is a bad thing because of differences between mediums, e.g. while a writer can make hedge animals scary, a cinematographer most likely cannot.

Funny you mention that, for my Captain picked up certain...habits...and now, lets say, he does not exactly resort. If you get my meaning

Precisely. There's ****-and-ass adult, but there's also death-and-taxes adult which is no less adult. Playing "Sunless Sea". I think last time I tried it, it still was "One game, one save" thing. Now it allows to save in ports, and what do you know, turns out that diligent savescumming really helps enjoying a story-heavy Lovecraftesque adventure.

Mayyyyybe, but just a little. My enchanter is a Lich since I wanted something to fall back to when enchanting fails. He mostly sucked (in enchanting, not Lich things) throughout first half of Chapter 3 except for Blackwater where we had a field day, was passable in Fane and finally decent in Chapter 4 after getting some more gear. I have an unfinished court poet Azata who got really good at heightened Hideous Laughter spam after I got that Azata mythic thing that makes enemies roll twice and take worse result. Don't have Expanded Arsenal on that one but I read that Best Jokes got nerfed too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not Enchantment. Expanded Arsenal nerf means DC drop, meaning even the most developmentally stunted imp will be able to make saves.

Yeah, what Wrathfinder absolutely needed was caster nerf, blaster or not. Fortunately, you can set auto-patching off in GOG, and none of recent patches had anything of interest for me, so I'm good.

Please update on Colony Ship as you go along, will you. That setting looks really interesting, but I couldn't get over Age of Decadence's schtick of either metaing to heaven and hell up to very hand-tailored build following very narrow track, or constantly dying. P.S.: True "cowardly" way to deal with Malalalalak is to stick him with those adhesive grenades you've been hoarding throughout the game, pelt with other grenades from afar, rinse, repeat.

Mask of the Rose, a VN set in Fallen London universe, where you play a door-to-door surveyor with highly inappropriate questions and equally inappropriate notions to romance the sh†t out of anything they encounter. As a VN it lives and dies by writing, and it does deliver. Along the way it got obvious you'll need multiple playthroughs each focusing on 1-2 characters to get everything out of lore and stuff, not that I mind, because setting and lore is really fun to read and new runs with different characters already read surprisingly different, also I met a couple of new characters I didn't encounter in 1st playthrough. I didn't solve the whodunit either and that won't do at all. Made me dust off my old Fallen London characters I abandoned because the game got too grindy, wonder how I'll fare this time, I also want to go back to Sunless Sea...where, hm, I also stalled because of grind. Probably should look into some anti-grind mods if there are any. Oh and I romanced...something...that's likely a very big bat? Which is fine, because, a) it's normal-ish by Fallen London standards, b) if a big bat is good enough for Sadie Frost and Monica Belucci, it's good enough for me.
