Ok that's a different thing all together. Never pass up an opportunity to insult the incels, I'd tell them to go to hell but that's probably a nicer time than being in the comments of Matt Walsh videos. And the snowflakes are a good indicator of media literacy being terribly low, many such cases. The only things I've reported to the mods is treating wizardry as a laughing matter and images from a Polish neo-nazi site.

It seems like my read of the game as a Whendonist-Gunnist action romp is largely panning out. Not necessarily a bad thing (well, the Whedonite dialogue is) but the gameplay itself just doesn't seem like a very good action game to me. On top of that I am biased towards rpgs and after BG3 it's a bit off-putting to see Dragon Age veer away from that and towards action gameplay (which many more games do and often do better). From my end I just don't see a reason to pick this up, my time is limited as it is and dunking 70 hours or so into a mediocre experience does not sound like a good thing. The "woke stuff" is really just baffling in that both Bioware has been doing it my whole adult life so it shouldn't be a surprise and how consistently TV/Game writers just aren't very good at it because they're (hopefully) well meaning guys whose interactions with "woke DEI CRT BLM/ANTIFA" are secondary at best. Generally I don't think it should be more than a footnote but between a terminally online cadre of anger addicted losers and an industry of youtube videos with random capitalization pretty much anything with "representation" is going to generate 1000000 hours of "gowokegobroke" content. Very tiresome tbh.

I'm sure the rules based international order will follow the rule of law and enforce those warrants. -

Honestly, I think it's not unlikely RFKJR gets Trump with the raw milk. Vance is too busy playing CK2 to be president. -
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to bugarup's topic in Computer and Console
So the patch is out and I've checked out Gold Dragon 1. Gold Dragon form now works with Shifter's Fury so you can now get multiple attacks. It does not seem to work with Wildshape specific feats though. Given some of the spell synergy (ie +3 attacks for a minute - Gold Dragon form only), I imagine a Gold Dragon Shifter would actually want to run as a Fiendflesh to take advantage of aspects. 2. The breath stuff is a selectable special ability every mythic rank, with an extra at 10. There's 10 options, 6 standard, and 2 each for regular and corrupted. They seem pretty good but with the breath being a standard action you may have better **** to do that blast it. If my reading is right it can be really strong, with a corrupted dragon hitting for 35 d8 +35 d8 on living enemies with a relatively big dc. 3. A third level 10 spellbook has hit the game. It's ok, there's no unique spells outside of 8,9, and 10 and it's direct damage, summons, and some personal buffs. Notably, you can keep merged spells from your previous path if you merged. -

The design for Femto is heavily inspired the Phantom. -

Oh no, Bartimaeus got sucked into the Black Lodge and now there is a doppelganger.

I like Italian food as much as the next guy but the way they treat certain things as immutable (NO CREAM!!!!.....except when making vodka sauce) is ridiculous. For the most part I subscribe to the "who gives a ****ing ****" when it comes to food and I have much better things to do than get big mad about making leftovers into a pasta sauce like leftovers into rice, soup, etc. hasn't been a part of cooking forever. Anyways I had a lot of coffee and a protein shake as the KP cutting project has begun.

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1184370/view/6564653885911203913 Looks like it's going to bring a spellbook (merge?) and have a few abilities that focus on breath, I'm guessing it's variable depending on which path taken. No idea if it will be Shifter compatible, imo would be pretty glaring that the mythic path built around shape-shifting doesn't work well with the class built around it. "Improvement and Rebalance" -

I saw The Substance several weeks ago and have a review in the pipeline, but I want to watch it again before I pull the trigger. The TL;DR is that it's probably my third favorite movie of 2024, behind The People's Joker and I Saw The TV Glow. In the meantime I saw Rebel Ridge which was just ok. Kinda lame action **** and would have been better if the protagonist.....you know what, I'm not gonna say it because out of context it could get me in legal trouble. There was also many ****ty horror movies because I've been spending time with my mom and she consumes that **** constantly. Nothing in particular sticks out. I did rewatch Phantom of the Paradise (1974) because of the Berserk manga and yeah, it's ****ing great. An incredible blend of Faust and Phantom of the Opera with the decadent 70's rock in the background. Bill Finley is capable of doing more with one eye than some actors can with their whole body and by God De Palma's direction ****ing kills it. This will probably work its way into my top movies of all time. -
Random video game news... renewed!
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Computer and Console
All I remember is that I thought it looked like **** and being surprised that it dropped off the cultural zeitgeist almost completely within a month after release. It's like a massive void, there's no memes about arrows to the knee or talk of massive mods that make it into a somewhat playable game, there's just nothing there. -
