    Optimization and optimizers...

    I will say, the one thing I don't get and probably never will is this idea that you shouldn't/can't have optimizers and non-optimizers in the same group. It all ties into this idea that every PC should be balanced... I just don't get it? It's not only okay but specifically designed to make some...

    General video game discussion

    I hadn't played it since the big update with the fishing and whatnot and I was gobsmacked by just how good it looked, even on my Switch Lite.

    Civilizations, RANKED!

    Civilization VI has been palette-cleanser for video game ennui for years now and I'm in incredibly deep after crashing out hard from what is probably the best game I've ever played so I'm three games deep and having an absolute blast buying victory as Mansa Musa

    General video game discussion

    LOL, Switch Skyrim was what I was playing until I got sucked in by Clair Obscur. I often get video game ennui after finishing a really good game. I don't think I've ever played a game so good that I've actually grieved being done with a game before... which is funny considering that the game is...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I've softened my stance on optimization from in the past, where I thought it was a pox on the hobby. Optimizers are not only perfectly fine but helpful in a lot of instances. It really helps to know the upper limits of your game, and nobody else does it better. They only become problematic when...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Playing some random Civ VI games on my Switch as a palette cleanser after one of the greatest gaming experiences in my life, might move on to playing Split Fiction with the wife at some point.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Didn't you know? Humans are the "straight white American males" of D&D. Just like how Tieflings are the "horned queers", apparently :rolleyes:

    D&D General Best D&D product of any edition (non-core book)

    2e: Tome of Magic. My first introduction to Wild Magic and Elementalists. I thought it was so cool and really sparked my imagination 3e: Heroes of Horror. Some really good books from 3rd (just a lot in general). I could make a whole list of runners up; City/Dungeonscape, Eberron Campaign...

    The EN World Selfie Thread

    Don't have a lot of older selfies kept around, for reasons that I would assume are obvious, but I did find one from eight years ago, if you wanted to see how magical estrogen is: Me, eight years younger looking eight years older
