I really don't play anymore. I feel I never am in character and just try to push teh story forward and save it from the rest of the party. That said, I still like looking through interesting books, so buy some for that. My most recent purchase was: Household, by Two Little Mice It is about fey folk (called Littlings) living in an abandoned mansion, after the human residents disappeared 100 years earlier. The different rooms of the house represent different biomes and are home to different states. In the bathtub there is a Venice like city, the toppled christmas tree is the forest in the living room. How the water in the bathtub keeps flowing, stays fresh and the whole thing doesn't just overflow? Eh, I guess a setting with faeries should come with some magic leeway for such details. I basically got it because I like faery settings and settings where tiny people live in a larger scaled surrounding. I would totally enjoy playing a CRPG based on the setting. Before that I had done two purchases: Labyrinth the RPG Dark Crystal the RPG They both are these small 200 page books with simple rules in the first dozen or so pages and a campaign for the majority of the book. In Labyrinth you basically do an alternate version of the movie - all players have their own reason to reach the castle, but they are not limited to the experience Sara had - when the hands are asking up or down, you could say up. The most fun of course is playing a quirky character that fits the setting, and they even made "worm" a choice of race/species. Dark Crystal plays in the Age of Resistance, thus follows the events of the Netflix series. Players can be from any Gelfling tribe, but as this is a much darker setting than Labyrinth, player death is something that can happen and there are special rules that trigger when a player does In both of these you can tell that they were made with a lot of love, and they are possibly the only settings other than Changeling, that would get me to the table. I am flirting with getting the new edition of Hunter: The Reckoning. It may be the first time a new edition of a campaign setting did mostly good changes, everyone seems to like.

The "they all voted for" is rather ironic coming from "the only democracy in the middle east".

I watch Bloomberg "Brilliant Ideas" which is a surprisingly good series of art documentaries.

I may watch that later actually. Looks like something that I can have running while painting.

I have had that on my wishlist for years.

Mender Silos is as trustworthy as Morty the skull.

Early on the cards were selling well. A friend sold a few for $50 each. My personal record was $5... Then it normalised and settled to what it is now. You can still sometimes get a dollar or two if it is a super popular game and you sell a rare card really early, but the crazies who threw cash at the system have moved on to throwing cash at something else.

I tried out the Underspace demo. It is a Freelancer type of game. You fly about in a terrible rust bucket, earn money to get a better ship, earn money to equip the ship and buy an even betterer ship. It is lacking some quality of life features that Freelancer had - no cycling targets for example or goto button when selecting a waypoint. What it does have is weird space storms where you fight eldritch monsters while dodging tentacles.

That may be something they added late in the game's life. Homecoming is a bit wacky though, as a lot of events throughout the game's life are active at the same time. You have the council attacking the fifth column in the streets of Atlas Park, while Faultline has already been flooded by Arachnos. I am not sure if all stories are still accessible. At least some early arcs may have gone when the meteor crashed into Galaxy City, destroying the second hero starting area, to have the players concentrated in one busier zone.

I ain't afraid of no ghost

Ok, that I did not do 😄

Saving for both achievements goes without saying But my head-canon choice is saving the soul

What choice did you make in the end? My cleric stayed behind.

Today I got a website! forkcat.com I am really happy with it. Very happy I got the domain name. Then again who else would have wanted that? The internet is full of all kinds of weirdos...

With the flatmates Snickerdoodle has, it probably is You should read the wiki entry: https://saintsrow.fandom.com/wiki/Snickerdoodle

I liked the intro in Saints Row. I like the player character trying to keep an honest job as a Merc and get a paycheck. Yeah, it aims at a different audience, but I realised I am this audience as well I found the jailbreak intro of SR2 the most powerful, but the reimagined SR's the most enjoyable. The bank robbery in SR3 I found annoying and nearly quit playing because of it.

Everyone hated those. Some of those underground cities are huge. Blasters are glass cannons. You will die a lot, Shady. Scappers and Brutes I found quite good to survive with solo. And of course Masterminds - just summon your own team of friends.

Hmm, I am on Reunion with: Spider from Mars, an Arachnos Soldier, Rogue, security threat level 38 - starting a journey of redemption after braking Ziggy's sweet hands. Pooka, Merc Mastermind, Villain, security threat level 18 - learning the ways of paramilitaries on earth to overthrow the rulers of Croatoa and become the faery queen. Aconitine, Thug Mastermind, Praetorian Resistance, threat level 11 - alternate earth version of my old character in a personal war against Crey Industries. VROOM, Scrapper, security clearance level 8 - Gremlins don't fix things. But they could if they want to and VROOM wants to. Nuclear Wastewater, Corruptor, security clearance level 2 - just messing around with the costume creator and have no idea what this character is about.

I just started Children of Ruin. If it is even a fraction as good as Children of Time, it will be a great read.

What happened to bluehedgehogwizard anyway?

The most recent (politically ineffective) self immolation was in Atlanta in December. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/protester-self-immolates-outside-israeli-consulate-atlanta-2023-12-01/

For space flight freelancer/elite) decent type gameplay I suggest: Hell Galaxy early access. It is still so badly optimised, when you are done with Loadscreens, you'll be able to play Horizon Forbidden West.

Do I need to make suggestions?

Ugh. Tequila thinks COH isn't installed anymore. I have a arachnos spider in the 30s, somewhere in the moral grayzone hopping between Talos and the Rogue Isles. Once the game is working again for me, I'll check which server I am on. Edit: I am on Reunion But I can make a character on Torchbearer as well

Which server are you on?
