The anime is better tbh, it's cool to see more development for Ramona and the evil exes plus it has Will Forte.

Scott Pilgrim vs ZA WARUDO The World (2010) I think I saw this after I graduated high school and maybe a couple of times after that. It's weird coming back to the movie because in my head it kinda bled together with another early 2010s movie with Michael Cera in a band, but it's honestly pretty great.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
Well I was wrong, Elemental Ascetic does not play well with Elemental Scion or any abilities that change the damage dice (size or number) of Kinetic Blast. The gimmick was cool at least.

warhammer 40k: rogue trader
And here I thought it was the price point that kept people out of 40k, but I guess getting killed by a book will cut down on potential players.

Random video game news... Games are the most elevated form of investigation
I'm not going to wade into escapism or the polysemic nature of language, but I can relate to what @Azdeus is saying and what @Hawke64 mentioned about pay to win (aside from exploiting gambling addictions, which is bad on its own terms). It would be very bad for players who regularly play a big multi-player game to have to deal with pay to win screwing everything up by shifting the meta towards paying for stuff (beyond the normal price or subscription) or get ****ed. It's bad design for the long term because it makes needing to pay for stuff having a much larger part of the game than skill and you'll end up with a shrinking base of players until you're only left with those dedicated enough to consistently pay for stuff or enjoy suffering. Thankfully I don't play much besides single-player and don't run into too much of it, but if I did play multi-player stuff I'd jump ship the second they introduced pay to win horse****.

I watched it again after the new Dune (Part 1) and right now I think it's better. But I also thought that Dune Part 1 was pretty much a 2+ hour advertisement for the sequel and also have......strange taste in general. Make the inhuman man-worm show up early. Paul can see the future or some ****, let him see the future of the man-worm.

I have never read Dune and most of my knowledge is from the 1984 movie. I just think the man-worm is funny.

I'm disappointed they didn't show the man-worm hybrid god emperor.

Anime and Manga - How do you Live? Edition
Well on the bright side, by the time you finish Stone Ocean the next part will be out and we can all watch JoJo doing a western in an alternate universe. It's probably because the antagonist is close to an anime version of Bruno. I don't recall being negative to the episode but it's been a while and it's definitely not as good as the previous episode or succeeding one. Anyways they're off the boat in Spy x Family. Anya doing many more faces.

Videodrome (1983) - Long Live The New Flesh! It's an incredible ride, horrifying and weirdly horny 80s practical effects combined with conspiracy and incomprehensible techo-occult babble. Absolutely glorious.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Sounds like the interface could be more............balanced.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
So my TtA playthrough got borked due to mods so looks like I'll get to do that again before I do LoN. So I am rerolling Through the Ashes with an Elemental Ascetic/Elemental Scion Kineticist Oread and so far so good. Monk AC + Elemental Fists is honestly pretty cool and so far is working better than shifter claws or monk fists for TtA, the lower bab is the only real problem but that's only going to be like -2 to hit.

I'm struggling to think of a game that fell off the face of the world quicker than Starfield. Not joking when I say that I have heard nothing of it a month after release. No memes, no reviews, no overlong videos, nothing. I guess there's a lesson in not making a $400000000 intentionally boring. I doubt that'd experience would change from the bit I read. Pretty much mad it's not made by Bioware.

The New Drinking Thread
In a broad sense it's just high proof liquor made out of wine. Most of it, aside from more fruity stuff, is going to be a lot like cognac because that's the most distinct kind of brandy with the biggest......brand name. Hon Hon Hon.

It's time for you to watch a bunch of teenagers chase around a David Bowie impersonator in a small town during the bizarre summer of 1999. Break your brain in a good way.

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
Well then Trickster > Legend is perfect because you can now pick Fighter for the 21-40 levels for a classic "while you were gaining mythic power, I studied the blade" build. Assuming you're using a 18-20 weapon you'll be hitting crits on 11+ rolls and have a Bab of 40.
-
Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
Trickster to Legend is probably the funniest route and it's mechanically very strong, especially for crit builds which the Virtuous Bravo definitely is. EDIT: I think you're doing gestalt as well, so doing that as a Legend is just ****ing crazy good.

BG3 - Butt kicking for goodness!
I would love to see more party vs party encounters myself, thematically I enjoy the idea of a clash between groups of similar power and skills. I'm struggling to think of a game that did it well, maybe PoE and BG2? It's been a while for them. That said I'm not opposed to a single powerful boss on principle, slaying the big dragon or demon or whatever is a fantasy staple for a reason. The problem with that in BG3 is that mechanically 5e's meta leans toward multiple enemies being much more of a threat than a single powerful one due to the stats scaling relatively slowly and capping relatively low. So this means your big bad dragon that you've built the campaign around will probably get it's ass handed to it going 1 v 4+ with a decently component and geared party (for reference), which isn't particularly fun and part of the reason I stopped playing 5e as pnp [insert rant about Pathfinder 2e's better design].
