Some grindy bits left in D4 for the season journey. I hope they change a bit here and there for the next season. The devs are really high on their own farts if they think leaving the Mephisto fight in the game like that, with its two minutes of unskippable cutscenes (vis-a-vis a 10 second actual battle because lol) was a good idea.

There's something weird going with the off topic forum, it doesn't seem to realize that I'm logged in. Other forums work fine, but whenever I go to the thread list of the off topic forum, it tells me to log in. Clicking on sign in brings me back to the forum list - where I am logged in already. Jumping directly into topics in the off topic forum shows me as logged in, but the posts there don't get flagged as read by my user. Clearing all the cookies and browser cache didn't help.

So, finally reached D4 endgame now. Until getting to level 70, I liked the changes to the game, like how the skill tree contains the modifiers you'd usually have to farm gear for in the past seasons, instead of a whole bunch of passive nodes that were cookie-cutter build filler. In general I also like the idea of the war plans giving you a pre-defined path through endgame activities. That's a load off my inability to choose from activities. Kinda hate all the rest though. D4 was a fun, silly game where you'd reach endgame and were doing high level progression two days later. Now it looks like that's going to take... more work and time than I want to commit.

The thing that drives me insane is when they offer a quick "jump to next episode" button at the start of the credits, but when you do that, the damned progress bar is not full. So I always fast-forward through the credits. Like, is that so hard? Sheesh.

Makes sense. Player base probably cheered for Urivar.

So, now that it works, uhm...

Lord of Hatred. Blizzard's update to the games turned it into a zen exercise simulator. Pretty good one though. Click this button here to create a new character. Wait five minutes. Pick class. Wait five minutes. Pick from presets or customize your own character, but the assets aren't loaded in. Wait five minutes. Click play game, wait five minutes, pick difficulty (huh?) then "Reconnecting...", wait five minutes... "Lobby Server Not Available"

Knowing melkathi's cat stories, that's probably accurate. :p

Indeed, where's the petition to include classical and medieval latin?

So, who bet on Chavez-DeRemer as next to leave office?

Aged like the whole milk his buddy RFK is drinking. :p

The Boys, whatver, episode whatever: Whatever. Honestly, I... I mean being behind the times on satire when scripts are from two years ago is understandable, given how fast the political landsacpe of the US has flushed itself down the crapper, lol, or rather... not but the weird pacing of the episodes and the way concepts are introduced and then discarded almost immediately with no payoff is just plain bad entertainment, and now we've introduced a new thing into the show that everyone goes chasing after because why the hell not, we have eight episodes left to wrap everything up, so let's just spend that time on... not wrapping anything up and not moving anything into place for a decent payoff at the end. Sheesh.

Needless to say, I disagree. Voyager analogy

Let me guess, in The Measure of a Man, you side with Bruce Maddox, right? :p

Uh, in defense of Maelle's ending - sort of.
