- Comment on The Hunt For Gollum Won’t Be Two Films, But A Second LOTR Film Is Incoming, Philippa Boyens Confirms 4 weeks ago:
Look, either make “Ken Burns’ The Silmarillion” already or let the franchise rest.
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 1 month ago:
That’s a fair assessment. There are a ridiculous number of classes and subclasses each with their own quirks. And that’s without getting into multiclassing or Wrath’s mythic path system. I’ve definitely spent 20+ minutes leveling up before.
Do you like JRPGs? Yakuza: Like a Dragon is fairly recent and has a sequel (that I haven’t gotten to play yet). The story is NOT your typical RPG fare, it’s a modern drama about an ex-gangster trying to get back on his feet after prison. But the combat is a classic turn-based RPG and it’s fun, stylish, and just barely complex enough to stay engaging.

The graphics are much simpler than BG3, but Owlcat has done some fantastic work with their Pathfinder games.
Wrath of the Righteous is much more polished and expanded than Kingmaker, but they’re both great. They both have the option to play in turn-based like BG3, or real time with pause like the old BG games.
- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
Children deserve better movies than this soulless green-screened cash grab.
They also deserve better games than Minecraft IMO, but that’s a different conversation.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 2 months ago:
Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that’s a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)

I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but I hear Dread Delusion has a lot of Morrowind’s visual style and weirdness, if not quite the same gameplay.

- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 months ago:
This is utter hogshit, but also seems relatively easy to work around. “I am legally forbidden from sharing my opinions on the quality of Marvel Rivals.” is a pretty clear and succinct review that technically flies under their legal fuckery.

Not about to be swindled, the monk the pulls a gun from within his robe. “What’s that?!” the startled vendor asks. “Ah,” replies the monk, “this is my inner piece.”
- Comment on PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all 6 months ago:
And now I’m even more glad that I buy whole bean rather than ground coffee.
- Comment on [Article] "How Daniel Radcliffe Outran Harry Potter" Has anyone been following his later work? 6 months ago:
I haven’t gotten to see season 4 yet, but he’s been great in Miracle Workers.
It’s a seasonal anthology comedy. So each season follows a storyline, and then the next season is the same cast, but with a completely unrelated setting and story.
- Comment on Most obscure movies you've ever seen? 6 months ago:
Netherbeast Incorporated (2007)
No one I know has ever seen this movie. Dave Foley, Darrel Hammond, and uh… Steve from Blue’s Clue’s… in a delightfully weird vampire office comedy.
- Comment on When you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 7 months ago:
Some generous billionaire could come along one day and pay off huge medical debts for patients, on a whim.
Go on then, pull the other one.
- Comment on Could be 8 dicks if you had the dudes tip to tip 7 months ago:
Ah, but what of the feet? Even if you need both feet for one job, that’s still another dick or two.
- Comment on And the most popular man in the whole Fediverse is... 7 months ago:
So, when you remove what I assume is an announcement bot and lizard people from the equation, the answer is George Takei? Yeah, that sounds about right.
- Comment on Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods? 8 months ago:
So I found out after I posted this that there’s a demo, and 40 minutes in I already like Valvotorez more than Laharl, and at least on par with Adell. Seems like I’ll finish the demo to eb sure, and probably pick it up.
- Comment on Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods? 8 months ago:
It wasn’t necessarily a badly-designed feature, I’m just bitter because I sucked.

- Comment on Why is 2010s movie Star Trek called the Kelvin timeline? 9 months ago:
So the timeline of the new Trek movies starts with the villain Nero going back in time. When he gets there, he destroys a ship called the USS Kelvin. That ship was not destroyed in the original Star Trek timeline, so the new timeline is called that because the Kelvin’s destruction was the first major point of divergence that lead to the other changes in that timeline
- Comment on Counterspell this 10 months ago:
He definitely does, but I think it fades in and out of use at times. Even in Storm Front I believe he has a .38 Special. Later books I think it’s a .44 Magnum.

Damn, Harry Dresden is not aging well.

- Comment on What happens when people die with metal on or on them? 1 year ago:
That book is 4 unrelated novellas in one volume, bug they’rereferring only to The Langoliers. Assuming similar lengths for each one, we’re really only talking a bit under 200 pages.
