As a young boy I would have said Jet Jaguar but seeing as I’m almost 56 something more fundamentally busted like Jet Alone is probably more appropriate. Yes, I know they’re both robots. But kaiju-adjacent robots.

Everyone has their completely arbitrary limits. Personally, I’m super-happy Gunn went for it with the dog.

The difference between a good director and a competent one is enormous these days.

Thanks for reminding me I inadvertently murdered an entire elven village while trying to date Merrill in DA2. I managed to suppress that memory. The things you do for love. Like doing things you later regret forever. Which leads us to Veilguard. I just finished a 70 hour play-through where it...

I miss the ever-so-heroic multi-day medical camping from the old Baldur’s Gate I & II games. Nothing says adventure like clicking the ‘camp’ button again.

"Here at Buffalo Wild Wings we're incorporating AI..." This is how CEOs have to talk right now. I'd call it a bitter pill to swallow, but it's more of an amusing pill that's probably illegal. Except for the energy and water usage involved in running generative AI systems, which isn't funny at...

Truth.

That’s technically true, but it elides the fact that D&D has always had PC level advancement as a core mechanic. The game is literally built around becoming action heroes/superheroes, like most protagonists in the inspirational reading. Unless you’d like to make the argument a 10th level PC...
