Regardless of his worst actions and opinions I don't approve, somebody dying will never be good news. Nobody is perfect, let his good deeds be cherished and his bad ones be lessons for us to be better. Rest in peace and my condolences to Luke, Rob, and the rest of his family and friends. Edit...

From the top of my head. In general: pare down all situational modifiers to +/-2, 5, 10, and 20. Every modifier that would be a +/-1 is either removed or turned into a 2. Remove scaling by caster level. (To remove moving parts) Heighten does increase numeric effects. Keep things to mostly...

It is quite cool to have so much lore and material to enjoy. But in hindsight, it wasn't close to being profitable. Nowadays WotC can earn a pretty penny with ebooks and the occasoonal reprint because they got them for a pittance. But losing TSR is the price we as a community had to pay. A TSR...

I hope they do it worldwide. It was the only Prequel I didn't watch in theaters.

TIL (more like the the day before yesterday) that due to mistrust by the local inhabitants, the team that first meassured the height of the Himalayas had to do it from 240km away using only observation and trigonometry. They got the height of Mount Everest off by only 8 meters. Also that such a...

Avowed is in my radar, but I need to buy and play Palworld and BG3 first. And there's still Birthright and KoTOR in my backlog. As well as RE2 remake. Meanwhile my time is consumed by Minecraft, and Arena.

@Ruin Explorer, check "Moon Channel" (don't confuse if with the "Moon" channel, as it is the opposite. Look for the one with a cute cartoon moon and Ace Attorney characters instead of a moon face with a rocket on the eye). There's one video about how Japanese pop culture is getting a push...

@trappedslider Yeah, I was thinking of the Odyssey. Somehow it crossed in my mind with the Argonauts.

I've been thinking that maybe we'll see more and more "historical" super-productions like gladiator II. Between it and Jason and the Argonauts these seem to be in production. Whether they catch on or not, we'll see.

Oh I like a man of culture. n_n

It is a cool ship.

Don Bluth! Land before time Secret of Nihm Anastasia

The onky reason I don't own a porg plushie is they never made a true plushie, only this weird automaton thing that was too hard to hug. Similar with baby Yoda. At least there're non official ones that do work as a plushie.

Most of them. There are some categories that are made by other companies (like Lego and Jacks Pacffic), but they hold the biggest chunk of the licence. Along with Marvel and Disney (parts of princeses are held by Mattel, but Hasbro keeps Barbie scale) The last five to ten years have been unkind...

Toys are a very important part of Star Wars fandom. And huge revenue source. Maybe not to Disney, but to Hasbro.

I'm sad Solo flopped. I expected it to last in theaters at least a month. There's always been naysayers with a lot of self-importance that cry to the heavens they're going to boicot, and I didn't take them seriously. After that, I just know that if I want to watch a movie in theaters, I have to...

Hear me out. I call this one standing alone. Three movies that are later installments of a saga yet can be watched as standalone films about three men who carry a burden on their shoulders. I wanted to make ironic comedy a theme, but instead they go from happy endings to twisted cruel irony...

Another factor is they allowed themselves to be swallowed by their own performative rituals. Their approach to the dark side is the equivalent of abstinence-only sx-ed. Instead of leaning on the will of the force, they went into fleeing from the dark side. They weakened their connection to the...

It would have been cool if Kylo had been having visions of who he thought it was Vader but it turned out to secretely been Palpatine as some sort of sith force wraith maskerading as Vader.

Might look at it later for myself. I think I'll go with the Language of Thorns. Other books by the author aren't available locally it seems, but this one looks very promising and being a short story anthology seems like it'll do the trick. Thank you!
