  1. You naughty Sarex Oh boy, in Unfair you can expect archers in random encounters to dish out 2000 damage a round in the late game. It is not a fun experience.
  2. Bob McGrath
  3. JoJo Stone Ocean 33-38 They brought Roundabout back for the ending. Ummm......yeah there is no way I can talk about this without spoilers. DIO has a very interesting idea of heaven.
  4. Did some companion quests and picked up Regill. Looks like I'll be going against the swarm soon. "The absence of an answer is an answer too" - Stranger in WotR But really, that was set up too much for me to not make that joke. Yeah, I wouldn't dream of stepping on anyone's enjoyment of something or interpretation of something (barring something really dumb, like EEAAO being anti-semitic). If you enjoyed something I didn't or have a different interpretation that's great. I'm glad you had a good time or interesting thoughts. I am a quarter of my life removed from my first PoE playthrough and am not blessed with a photographic memory. I only have the facts of how I felt, not the feelings that lead me to such a conclusion. If you want to know what eating mounds of dry bread is like, eat a crusty loaf of bread without anything else. No matter how good the bread is, your mouth is going to dry out and you may feel it stick in your throat, which is an unpleasant experience. You NEED some water at that point. The writing in PoE was often very dense and narrow tonally, my initial take was that some interactions felt like you were being monologed at by Jeffrey Lebowski or an Aaron Sorkin protagonist without producing anything interesting or memorable.
  5. Did the Gray Garrison and started the Crusade. Wendaug continues to be better than Lann. She may be a demon worshipping cannibal, but she's actually funny. While I'm more positive now on PoE than you, I can relate. Going in I was very excited, but after several hours I wasn't having nearly a much fun as expected. Several hours later and I was exhausted. Combat was a repetitive war of attrition with grazes, the writing was like eating mounds of dry bread, and he characters just didn't draw me in. I finished out of a desire to see the damn thing done, similar to what our friend @majestic does with certain tv shows, and did not look at it again until Deadfire was announced. I came back to it and found it better, but still nowhere near the expectations I had and not something I feel very much temptation to play. Why don't I enjoy it? I mean it checks all the boxes and it is unquestionably more competently made than the IE games or the Owlcat Pathfinder games....so why doesn't it do it for me? I think the answer is a combination of several factors, both small and huge, but at the end of the day PoE feels like something that just doesn't come together to achieve greatness.
  6. The Midnight Club is probably the biggest disappointment for me in 2022. While I've seen worse, Midnight Mass raised my expectations.
  7. JoJo Stone Ocean 28-32: Underworld and Heavy Weather It's good. No way to talk about it without spoiling though.
  8. Al Strobel, who played the one armed man in Twin Peaks, has passed away.
  9. JoJo Stone Ocean 27: Sky High A man dressed like a cow uses rod-shaped cryptids to attack two lesbians and a child. And that's not even the weirdest thing in the episode.
  10. Okie dokie, so I've cleared everything in Act 1 but raiding the Gray Garrison. So far selective spell grease is the mvp, selective is so much better than the pnp version I slept on it my first run until mid game. The tavern fight is wonky in TB and needs RT turned on periodically for the arsonists to spawn which is annoying. Also, I found another (Lawful) that wasn't evil or stupid. You can tell Staunton it's not right for the crusaders to bully him. However, there is another (Lawful) option right above that where you tell him he should be killed. Inexplicably fun game.
  11. I haven't seen indy 4 and can't remember the other movies. Ah well, it is what it is.
  12. JoJo Stone Ocean 25-26: Bohemian Rhapsody Weather Report and Anasui fight Pinnochio, Snow White, and Vincent van Gogh.
  13. Cocaine Bear vs 5-headed Shark vs Snakes on a Train vs Dracula in Jurassic Park.
  14. A slasher movie with a bear on coke directed by Elizabeth Banks statting Ray Liotta, Angry Retail Guy, and Isiah Whitlock Jr? This is going to be one of the greatest movies of 2023, up there with M3gan. Wait for Cocaine Bear vs Meth Moose.
  15. Lmao. We should aim for "I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day" next thread, if we can land it on New Year's Day.
  16. ......... I've tried to be nice here, but comparing the greatness of 1000 Pound Twins who are Also Doctors to cartoons? Unforgivable. You are banned from HBO Max Discovery +. Anyways since this is about music.....
  17. Are you seriously comparing the prestige of Real Housewives of Montana or Walking Dead: Discovery to anime?
  18. DIO is also continuing the English tradition of butchering language and saying it how he wants to.
  19. I don't think it was the Bount, but maybe the one after that. It was sometime after they had invaded the Hollow world and killed the bat guy. The manga was ahead and more interesting at that moment. I hope he does end up doing the hell arc. That has some potential. That is naughty of you. Take my recommendations seriously. Ba ba baby. But really, I also gave anime the cold shoulder for a while because I didn't have access to the weirder and better stuff while the bigger series, like Bleach, had a lot of awful of filler that was terrible. The fact is that a lot of anything is terrible, just look at the TV series being released or some of the movies that are out. Top Gun: Maverick is 2 hours of US military propaganda with subplot about a man in a midlife crisis bolted on, now that's some garbage. Would be silly to drop movies after seeing that. I think a problem is that anime is often seen less as a medium and more as a genre, which is often reinforced by how things are released and marketed. Outside of Japan at least, in the weebosphere is you will. A big problem is that the weirder series are stuff you have to go looking for while the trash takes center stage. The same applies to film or tv or games or anything really: Everything Everywhere All At Once is a film most of us here loved, but that mostly got heard because of word of mouth (very little advertising compared to a studio blockbuster but a ton of rave reviews from regular people). Compare this to Marvel Movie #9384 or Spielberg's boomer kitsch or Top Gun, you can't help but be inundated with them even if you have no intention of watching them. Now I've lost the plot by getting mad at Top Gun again. What a ****ty movie. Anyways Chainsaw Man 8. Denji has a hangover and Aki whips out his sword after eating ramen. What a great show.
  20. Well that was easy. Fair warning, it's going to get weird. lali ho! lmao, I completely misread and thought @Gorth was asking for anime recommendations. That's what I get for posting under the influence. Keep the title like it is though, that makes it all funnier.
  21. ABK6 XO Holy **** this is good.
  22. It's time for you to finish what you've started and watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.
