    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Are any of the options in this poll used outside of the US? In Canada, I've only ever heard the term 'soft drink'.

    Soft drink is what people call this in my part of the world (Ottawa, Canada).

    Oh well... there goes that glimmer of hope. Still buying it though!

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    I watched only a couple minutes of their demo, but the dialogue there was markedly better than in the first game. Small sample size and all that, but a positive sign nonetheless.

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    I'd never heard of it, so just looked it up. Seems like the consensus was amazing game, but the English localisation of this JRPG was somewhat lacking... sound about right?

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    I much prefer a game to have a great story and dialogue, but we're not going to get that every time. So I'll play games where those components are a little B-tier, no problem. The original Solasta though... it's like they grabbed a pack of 11 year olds, paid them in Doritos and ice cream...

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    I don't need BG3 either. The first game though... I can't think of another CRPG that had that amateurish an attempt at story or dialogue. Wow. It's a testament to how incredible the combat system was that: a) I finished the first game b) am champing at the bit to buy the second one!

    D&D 5E (2014) Solasta 2 Announced!!!

    Just watched a couple of minutes myself. The dialogue and interactions with the NPCs and the game world already look 1000 times improved from the first game.

    There's some sort of live demo going on right now: Steam Community :: Tactical Adventures :: Broadcast

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    All three were great, but I would say that Wrath of the Righteous was the standout among them.

    Yet Thunderbolts was incredible.

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    That's true. This leans more into 'Group Ritual' territory though. An interesting twist (if you can make it work).

    D&D 5E (2014) Couple new Ideas, gauging interest

    Overall, I really like this. Very warlock-esque: instead of spells being a big nebulous, catch all for a spellcaster's class features, give that spellcaster interesting class-specific features, while slimming down and focusing the class' spell list on thematically interesting spells. 10/10...

    Partner just seems like the special case of Chorus where the Chorus only has two folks in it. Why not simplify this and kick out Partner?

    D&D General Satanic Panic at the Disco- Did Beelzebubba Cause D&D's First Crash, Y'all?

    I've taken tango lessons with an ex. We were actually pretty decent at it! Put a rose in my mouth, they could have me in the dance school's ads. Congratulations on your wife's upcoming retirement!

    So all your money went into ballroom dancing lessons and shopping trips to Bed, Bath & Beyond? 😬:)

    Probably counting on the Church Karens breezing on by an inoffensive cover.
