The new Dune movie goes through a checklist of things. Caladan - check Gomjabbar - check Arakeen - check Shadout Mapes - check etc It is all in grand photography, but the scenes lack content, lack soul. As if someone read the letters of the book but did not make out the words. To distract from this the audience is bombarded with Paul's visions again and again. As a result the Kwisatz Haderach plot drowns out everything else that is happening. Thus Paul's character growth and messianic role end up rushed, as he is robbed of the other experiences.

The movie.

Someone should have warned me how boring the Dune movie is.

Not talking about Bethesda by any chance?

You have the option in games to just maim your opponents. Or at least try. You get trauma from killing human beings. If it is in self defense your character can rationalize it. So the Roman soldier attacking me in the forest I can kill and have nightmares about later, but not feel guilty about. Killing some person for shiny loot though... that makes you an arsehole.

Pong, Space Invaders, then Load Runner I think were my order of first games

I suck at accepting the RNG outcomes, so I keep replaying the first hunt 😛

I find one of the most important questions usually is how much fixing up you are willing to do to make it your home.

I sucked at March of the Black Queen as well. Managing you alignment was really hard.

Hi Sarex, I only have a psp to play Tactics Ogre: let's cling together.

I just got back into town and one of the first things I did was download the demo for that.

I think seeing bad things happen to toys is upsetting because they imply bad things having happened to a child without telling you what. So your imagination goes into overdrive.

That feels like a documentary.

I went to the airport yesterday. While the taxi was driving down the motorway, suddenly the hood flipped up and smashed against the windshield. --------- I was in a plane yesterday. As we were landing the pilot suddenly pulled the plane up sharply. We heard him breathe sharply into the mic. After a moment a flight attendant came on and said: "Dear passengers, we had to abort the landing. An explanation will follow shortly." The pilot came on: "Dear passengers, a plane taxied onto our runway so we had to abort the landing. We'll make a U-turn and try again..." Exasperated breathing. ------- I took the subway yesterday. Nothing exciting happened. I like the subway.

Checked out Necromunda again to see if a year worth of AI patches fixed the game. It didn't.

That is some unfortunate clipping though

Almost?

Because you can pretend it stands for Dungeons and Dragons?

Was looking for something to play and ended up reinstalling Hinterland. Currently playing as a Goblin Thief, Snotnose. It was a bit of a rough start, but now I have a full adventuring party and a fletcher, armorer, and weaponsmith to kit us out. I'll slowly have to work on clearing out the graveyard, just in case the King requests access to Souls. If those even show up as a resource request.

I do not have one of those. I only have a collection of Chuck Tingle ebooks from Humble Bundle. After Amazon decided I am into bizzaro fiction, I thought I'd have a look what Amazon thinks I read. I never managed to read through any.

I think the world would be a better place if those writers would write that.

Sound like me talking about dinosaur erotica.

Use Duckduckgo instead of Google 😛

Wait for the furry remake Ratbow Six.

Is the Kickstarter campaign over?
