  1. It's worse for archetypes that take abilities from other classes, because in pnp the description pretty much tells you to look it up. Which would get tedious, so the copy pasting makes more sense. Add in the complexity of multiclassing with potentially overlapping abilities, like Vivisectionist/Arcane Enforcer/Thug/Scaled Fist and you're potentially looking at a massive cluster**** in a game that is already a buggy mess. It's still not great though.
  2. Ability text is mostly copied straight from pnp. In Kingmaker I believe this caused some confusion for an ability that was misprinted in pnp that ended up being corrected, but I forget the details. For the Slayer, in pnp the talents they share with Rogue often say "the rogue can" instead of specifying "the slayer can" or "the character can". With combat style talents it says "the slayer selects a ranger combat style". So you can blame Paizo for that. The rest of it is probably to save time.
  3. As much as I like TNG, there is definitely way too much plot induced stupidity absence that goes on. More than that, the show would have been much better if Wesley never existed.
  4. I'll trust you and I'll probably watch it next.
  5. Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop. Something this sweet was a real change of pace from whatever the hell Utena was. Which was great. It's very bright, @Bartimaeus and @Sarex were not kidding about that. Once you get used to it though it does look good. There is a kinetic energy that emphasizes the silly aspects quite well, like BEAVER! getting chased by mall cops. The framing is top notch, this is a movie that treats animation like animation and really uses it to the most benefit. As to the plot and characters, it's mostly a slice of life teenage romance which is not something I would usually go looking for but it works here. Without spoiling anything, none of the characters are Shinji tier introverts or robots like Anthy, just some weird kids and an old man looking for a record. It does a pretty good job of showing rather than telling and the payoffs feel nice. Overall I'd say it's good. A nice drive at a reasonable speed that doesn't go anywhere unpleasant or turn so hard you get vertigo. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to watch a lighthearted movie and can adjust to getting hit with a very bright color palate.
  6. I almost photoshopped Dio's face onto Mari, but I decided that it was too much effort. I do recommend Rebuild though, tentatively and after watching NGE. I'd say it's ok compared to NGE's good, with much worse low points.
  7. I think with Rebuild they changed their minds so much it became a jumbled mess, why NGE benefits from both a more coherent vision and slightly longer run time. Which to be fair it did use a lot better, while Rebuild body slammed us with technobabble insanity and relied on previous NGE viewing to have us relate to the characters.....NGE actually developed them. All in all NGE is definitely better. But I'd recommend Rebuild simply because
  8. I'm probably going to wait a while before watching the movie. I still haven't got around to the feature length Violet Evergarden ova lmao. For now, I'm going to try and finish up TOS and maybe a short series before returning to JoJo.
  9. I watched the whole show. Kira is a power hungry freak that goes beyond just killing bad people very early on. Pretty much an irredeemable bastard. Basically it ends up being a battle of wits between two socially maladjusted teenagers, one of whom has an imaginary friend. You probably won't like anyone and won't like the plot, so just drop it. Just liked. If it wasn't cgi it'd be really good, but too much uncanny valley. Speaking of uncanny..... Utena 33 the return of the clip show. Utena gets Akio'd. More importantly the shadow girls have a radio show. Edit: Utena 34-39 The End of Utena (and the World). Well that was not as weird as I thought, but still very much out there. Maybe I'll get around to writing something longer, but right now my opinion is that it is ok. Parts of it are good, but the middle arc drags it down way too much. Next is bubbles up like soda pop when I feel like watching a movie, then rewatching JoJo to get ready for Stone Ocean dropping in December.
  10. I think Death Note is kinda dumb and that Kira is probably among the worst edgy protagonists.
  11. Utena 32 Nanami gets slapped Lmao, this is all karma for the cat.
  12. While that may be a debate to have, from what I remember of the game's dialogue options the light side range from goody two-shoes to the requisite lawful stupid, while dark side was greedy **** or chaotic stupid. All of which had a meager impact on the gameplay itself. I was thinking more of that than Star Wars lore.
  13. Looks like Thor needs to cut back on carbs.
  14. I replayed both kotor and kotor2 once, over a decade later. I tend to replay games more for the different gameplay experiences than the story divergences and in both kotors you're a space gish who destroys hordes of mooks no matter if you're pure evil or a saint.
  15. I played kotor after kotor 2 and had been spoiled on the plot, I was more interested in space swashbuckling than the big reveal. It was good enough for that, probably not something I'd replay very often though as the options are pretty limited.
  16. Utena 29-31 Jury duels, Akio puts the moves on Utena, and Nanami runs away. So Jury's part was nice, we learn that Akio has at least tried to **** every female character except for Jury and (maybe) Nanami, and Nanami is less interested in her onii-sama when she finds out they're (probably) not related. Okie dokie, 8 episodes to go. Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious that she encountered Touga and Saionji when they were kids and that her prince is actually Akio. Given how those characters all have black silhouettes instead of features, I think there is something about the academy that causes people to forget their lives outside of it.
  17. Utena 28 the new old guy returns. Some guy comes in and marries Juri's unrequited love, only to end up getting a divorce. What a whirlwind romance. So umm... how has Utena not noticed something is up with Akio? I mean, the car(s) that are delivering her duel opponents to her have "Ohtori" written on them. I guess she failed English. Overall I think I'm enjoying this more because it stepped up the villains. I did not give a single **** about Professor Black Rose but the Incest Kings have a magnificent bastard energy to them that makes me enjoy their scenes instead of being bored. On another note, what is probably the last chapter of Berserk has dropped and it is magnificent.
  18. AKTUALLLLLLLLLLY Most of the remakes were done by someone else. Maybe you'll get lucky and they won't spite you.
  19. A tongue in the ear.
  20. By this track record I guess Bioware games will all get remade around one or two decades after release. What's next, Jade Empire?
  21. In my experience even this is selectively deployed. Like if a woman gets pregnant or if a kid gets arrested for weed they need to deal with the consequences, but if a guy gets his book deal dropped because he tried to overthrow the government or banned from social media for yelling racial slurs that's cancel culture destroying freedom.
  22. If Texas women want to have abortions, they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and **** Republican legislators or be related to one.
