I keep failing my damn Will save to disengage. Sigh.

For those of us who aren't really big into video games, would it be too much to ask people not to use acronyms for games? I tried reading the last two posts here and have absolutely no idea what it's about. I mean, sure, I can talk about BTA 3062 until the cows come home, but, I wouldn't...

That's kinda/sorta how Scarred Lands works. The Titans actually created everything, including the Gods. The Gods rebel, since the gods get their power from mortals and the Titans keep wiping out all the mortals and restarting the world every few thousand years.

I dunno what to say man. I don't do that? I'm pretty easy to please typically, so, I'll try anything pretty much. Tried it, didn't like it. Only tried it again because of recommendations (I.e. doing homework) that the show was worth my time. Turns out it wasn't. I'm a little surprised that...

Oh, don't get me wrong. I have no problems with different. Loki was great. WandaVision, OTOH, did have rather a lot of action in it. But, again, no, I'm a HUGE fan of Moon Knight and Jessica Jones. No, I'm not all in on action and whatnot. It's just that this particular show did nothing...

Bully for you. Like I said, I don't do that. So, that's why I didn't read about it before watching the show. Not really sure why you feel the need to bang on about this. Sorry. I guess? I'm sorry that I didn't do my homework before watching a show? I'm sorry that I thought that a show in...

Again, not English either. Look, I get it. You think that I should have known what the show was before I watched it. I missed the stories. Didn't cross my radar. It happens. 🤷 Tell you what, you tell me how many times you've seen stories about Kusunoki no Bannin and then we'll talk.

+1 for Scarred Lands. LOOOVE the setting. Also Primeval Thule had a really cool way of doing it. The gods in PT are very far away. They do not interact with mortals, like, at all. Each faith is essentially cabalistic with older clerics teaching magic to newer clerics. Basically, they are...

Very much describes me. After finding most fandoms to be a toxic cesspit, I've largely abandoned any fansites or discussions of pretty much anything so that I can come to a show without a bunch of pre-conceptions and fresh eyes. Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, pretty much any major franchise, I...

Not all of us live in the US. Never saw any marketing about this. Had no idea what it was. Certainly never would have guessed it was this. Hey, I'm not saying it's bad. The acting is good. The actors are great. It's just 100% not anything I'm interested in. If it didn't have the Marvel...

Yeah, I gotta say I'm with @brodahisou on this one. I watched the first two episodes. Skipped through the third one and nothing's happened so far. He went to one show. He went to an audition. He went to a party. If I wanted to watch a bunch of people standing around doing nothing and...

I'm going to have to go back and give this another try. I gave up ten minutes into the first episode. I just hate the trope of "I'm a total loser and the source of all my own problems". I mean seriously. He goes to shoot the movie/tv show, whatever it was, and the director, instead of...

For me, that's where the turn based combat games like X-Com or Battletech come in. There's a tiny bit of story there, but, besides a bit of book keeping between missions, it's pretty much all action. Slow action, true, but, still action. And there is just something SOOOO satsifying watching...

Apropos of nothing. When I have given instructions to the entire class (university) and then have to walk around and repeat those exact same instructions to EVERY SINGLE STUDENT individually, even those students who are sitting right next to each other... well, let's just say this is not doing...

Thanks for letting me vent folks. I do feel a bit better.

Yeah. Went to the Grove. Freed the goblin. Cool. Spent like half an hour trying to find the damn druids then another half an hour trying to find the bloody door to go see the head druid woman. Yet another perfect example of pixel bitching. Sorry, I don't mean to be so negative. I'm just...

To me, that's even worse. "Hey, here's a bunch of plot hooks, but, don't actually follow up on them because they're not all that important." :erm: You are really not selling this to me. "Hey, I want to like this game, but, game play is really frustrating." "Oh, that's okay. It's supposed...

So, this thread popped back up in my watch list, so, I figured I'd take a look. And, lo and behold, just a few short posts below my last post on the thread, a glowingly perfect example of what I said. I mean, this is just delicious. A thread necro a year later that perfectly encapsulates...
