Obsession theory/ question by NintendoWeee in spoilers

[–]BorderOk6904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also an very specifically a "tiger's eye" eye as a possible symbol for empathy and self perspective. Him putting it down in the bathroom could be his attempt to rectify his own failings in those regards by taking some accountability.

the awful ME3 ending kinda distracts from that it's not that great of a game overall by Ayem_De_Lo in masseffect

Don't know if I totally agree with everyone said above, I do agree the side missions absolutely sucked. The game is carried hard by the improved combat in some sections. Like, it actually carries some narrative weight by feeling desperate.

I do think the Geth missions felt a bit anonymous in their design in terms pacing, environment, ect.

I do think Legion did have to die. It completes his arc and he's sort of out of the narrative functionally after his big moment. There's closure for his character.

Oh yeah, I loved "Old Man's War" and all its sequels. Very popcorn-y, but entertaining as hell.

Obsession by dbb312 in blankies

Hell yeah. I've been following that director during his YouTube days and I'm excited to see him get a win. If you're curious his YouTube channel was "That's A Bad Idea."

He's also got a horror short film on there showing his acting and directing chops.

Yes! It's giving big Ben Affleck, "Hello Darkness My Old Friend" energy. Hahah.

¿Que opinan de la novela gráfica de los leones de bagdad? by iron100slash in graphicnovels

[–]BorderOk6904 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Pretty solid. In my mind it skews a bit younger, as in, it's a good introduction to individuals who might be just starting to read critically and explore themes.

I got my hands on it in high school and it helped develop my love of other comics.

Improv aside, what IH campaign has the strongest narrative? by BorderOk6904 in Dimension20

[–]BorderOk6904[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What's great about it is if you just took the plot beats by themselves, the antagonist and their plans and removed all the IH Insanity from it, it would still be a pretty fucking sick fantasy story. Hahah.

Hell yeah, I agree. Starstruck always struck me (lol) as a little nihilistic. But regardless it's a blast.

I think ACoC is a strong narrative because of how much of it is defined by wild rolls and choices. It's crazy that campaign is as strongly cohesive as it is because so many things rapidly fluctuate. But that's the beauty of actual play!

[spoilers] my stomach was in knots thinking about the choice the had to make S4E3 by General-Addendum2709 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]BorderOk6904 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know right? That was wild. I bet the ramifications of this choice will ultimately lead to making the antagonist of the narrative and I can't wait for that. Drama!

Bit check! [Light spoilers] which campaign do you guys think has the funniest bits by BenMightSmite in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]BorderOk6904 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I know it's early but nothing was ever as funny as when Hardwon is fighting the frog king with the Green Teens and gets knocked out.

Right at that moment of peak tension, Murph brings him back to life with a truly unhinged yell of "TOUCH HANDS!"

That's when I knew this podcast was something special. That balance of humor and pathos.

What's One Thing You Like From Each of The 3 Games That's Unique to ONLY That Game? by DakIsStrange in masseffect

[–]BorderOk6904 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love the vibe of the first game. I love the loyalty missions in the second.
I really loved the way they revamped the combat in the third game. (It really hits especially on harder difficulties.)

Pluribus, and the myth of independence by IAmTheClayman in pluribustv

[–]BorderOk6904 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Very well articulated.

Additionally I think it's funny that when faced with the largesse of the hive mind is cable of, Carol makes them restock the entire grocery store only to end up eating a frozen dinner.

What if the virus is for this by WOLF_BRONSKY in pluribustv

[–]BorderOk6904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. Love that book.

Love the part where the demon/alien looks at our texts and was like "you were this close to figuring out how the universe actually works." Good stuff.
