I am completely unbiased here, obviously, but I think that is truly an unpopular opinion. Mass Effect "sub-arcs" are much better than its meta-plot. It can be debated whether the whole idea of this super-powerful Cerebrus organization in ME2 and resourrecting Shepard was already the "jump...

Good pick for an unpopular opinion. Very poor pick for an unpopular opinion. It's a common sentiment, I'd say. I'd actually say it is a theme with all 3 sequels. They each make the preceeding worse. But Rise of Skywalker is certainly the worst. Which doesn't mean TFA or TLJ were good movies...

I guess that depends on what you understand with iconic, but I think the way I interpret it: If you see an image, you either know the name or the franchise it belongs to. Another "test" idea (which might yield different results, who knows): If you see a bunch of images from spaceships, each...

Yeah, kinda feel the same. Also would say that about the Nostromo as well - sure I know Alien, but what the ship looked like? Couldn't tell you, and having just googled it - nope, I wouldn't recognize it as Nostromo. I'd identify a ship like that Eagle (?) Shuttle from Moon Base Alpha, but...

USS Enterprise (Star Trek) Millenium Falcon (Star Wars) Star Destroyer (Star Wars) Runnerups might be the Klingon D7/K'Tinga or Bird of Prey, because they appeared fairly often in the Star Trek movies and series and have fairly recognizable shapes. Though the Enterprise D would probably still...

So far all I've heard is that they are basically getting rid of people that worked on new projects (even though a few of the names I heard were definitely long-term employees, but they had transferred to new projects). Which isn't good. But STO and Neverwinter have been Cryptic's cash cows for...

I am thoroughly confused now, but appreciate this self-doxxing counter-measure.

Regarding Illusionists: Disguise Self is actually useful if you want to interrogate the dead, at least if you were responsible for their death. Though originally (until I retrained her) I used Shadowheart for that...

I bellieve that is a trap the writers seem to fall into, thinking they must always raise the stakes. That is not why superhero movies succeed or fail. What really matters is that the story and the characters remain compelling. There must be something that we can relate to. Destroying universes...

Well, I'd be willing to let them try. I can still mock or ignore the results, after all.

That is true. But that shouldn't stop them from trying again, it's non-original IP, and some people must still be nostalgic for it!

That was a fun show, at least for a kid in the 80s. The movie ... I dunno, maybe it will be fun anyway, but beyond the car and the stunt man as protoganist story doesn't seem that close... I guess in a way the Fall Guy makes perfect sense for a contemporary movie - the original show basically...

End of time or a place without time are pretty much meaningless things for humans, because we require the passing of time. The end of time would be place of maximum entropy, a humanoid corpse isn't going to decay there, because it would have already decayed, and then all its constitutent atoms...

Diamond Throne (Monte Cook's Unearthed Arcana setting) had the Sibeccai, but that was OGL in the 3E era... There, they were basically uplifted by the Giants.

Oh, 4E support for the Virtual Foundry Table Top would be cool. I am not sure I could convince my players to go back to Maptools now that the digital tools are defunct (or at least hard to reenable). Where we didn't have any meaningful support other than condition markers. Especially because...

I have actually gotten them a while back on GoG, way before BG 3 was released... Unforuntately, starting to play them made me realize how old they are, and I just don't enjoy that as much anymore. It seems I need a voice cast and what not to enjoy a story-heavy game nowadays... :( I didn't play...

I think it was a little bit too easy to pretend that microscopic little thingies potentially killing people don't really exist or something. It is a bit harder to deny octopus raining down all the time. And wasn't there also something about inducing nightmares or something? That said, there is...

I think that is also part of why Baylan and his apprentice were so compelling - because we didn't actually know what would happen, what they are about, what they are after. That said, I don't think that the end result being a kinda foregone conclusion has to mean the story can't work. You just...

My view as someone whose actually seen the Clone Wars series and Rebels is that we still didn't learn much about who Ashoka is now. If you don't dwell into her past now too much, tell us more who she is now, how she got there. And I feel that we got very little for the time we spend with her. Or...

It will be hard for the new Baylan actor to fill the roles of his predecesors, and without a good one ,that whole storyline could fall apart. It is bothersome that it feels like the last 10+ years Thrawn and Ezra were away, they were almost frozen in time. Okay, Thrawn got some...
