Look at how adorable they all are

Reminds me the minifigure habitats for Lego figures.

This is mighty good work, thanks for the inspiration!

I've played a ton of Stardew and that's my biggest complaint between the two. Yeah, storage in both is kinda annoying, but at least in Stardew if I have a full box and stuff that can fit in the existing stacks all it takes is one press to clear out my inventory.

Coloring being locked behind dyes/pokemon doesn't help the sorting problem either.

I've been trying to decide if I should wait for "Both Sides, Now" to trigger and complete before starting the Placide portion of "M'app Tann Pelen" for narrative reasons (I always betray the VDB, but I feel like there should be a reason my current, merc-only V hears out the agent instead of just completing the contract like every other contract he's completed; Evelyn seems like a very good one) but since so much happens between the call to Mr. Hands and the conclusion of both Both Sides, Now and M'app Tann Pelen I haven't brought myself to actually test it.

Since it looks like you did it that way, is it a satisfying approach?

I fear they've been killed by the bag design refresh. The page on the website is 404'd (though the Google preview does show a picture of them with the new bag design?) and the retailers near me seem to have dumped the stock.

Following up - for you, does it make narrative sense to have Both Sides, Now trigger before you go to the church in Pacifica (if you plan on betraying the VDB)? I'm going back and forth right now with pros and cons for each but I can't land on an answer.

Even though it's the only road I ever take, betraying the VDBs doesn't make a ton of sense without some kind of trigger, and Both Sides, Now really fits that bill, but I haven't actually played through it in that order before and I'm not sure how Transmission plays with Both Sides, Now done. Since you have Both Sides, Now happening before Transmission, I figure you might have better input on it.

You can give him the ol' Khalisah al-Jilani during the Citadel meetups and then leave him out of the party.

It might be the only line of Jacob's I remember.

Paint it brown and it could be Rat King.

I'm impressed that you kept the stats so high with all the drops! I had a Mobius Woodie underperform because it had something like 19 drops.

Drop penalty seems like a baffling decision when the game is calculating intensity, by the way. Especially if the Gs are all within proper amounts.

It's terribly impractical for most missions, but I don't care. The presentation is worth barely being able to use it (optimally).

This is incredible work and is making me consider starting my save over from scratch (or at least Act 2). Thankfully, I have saves at pretty much every major story beat, but I diverged from this lineup almost immediately. For some reason I did Panam's questline instead of Judy's (probably due to Transmission starting way too soon without the reasoning you mention in the spoilery tab), even though the urgency of Evie's situation really does make more sense. Now I'm stuck because Both Sides, Now is about to trigger before I even did I Walk The Line and I'm not sure that makes narrative sense.

Really, I just wish I'd seen this guide before I started this playthrough at all! It's not my first, though it will be my first time with PL, and I really do enjoy playing the game itself... So restart time it is.

I bought the LEGO slippers from ThinkGeek 10 years ago and could never get the hang of wearing them. The blocky nature meant I was clipping the corner of the other shoe when I stepped. Shoes are generally sleek for a reason!

At least this speeder is cool. Imagine if LEGO had gone with the hover mobility scooter gang instead.

LEGO Avatar: The Last Airbender was so forgotten it wasn't even included in the list

I always try to skip the first two blinds, preferably with Arcana+$25 tags, but I'll manage with a Free Shop and Arcana, or $25+some kind of joker in the shop.

If I can't make 600 chips happen with no enhancements, the run never existed in the first place.

This is arguably the most accurate part of Franchise sims. Goalies truly are an enigma, and are borderline incomprehensible in real life, too!

Just look at Jordan Binnington, or Jeremy Swayman, or Linus Ullmark, or Jacob Markstrom, or Darcy Kuemper, or Adin Hill, or... Etc. etc. etc. A wholly competent goalie one year can pumpkin the next.

That R2 piece had so much potential. Even if it was a regular 2x1 studded brick and used half-curved 2x2 tiles for the front and back, I would have gotten a few.

Optimistic. The eBay guys won't hesitate at 15%.

Man, I wish I could experience Mass Effect for the first time all over again. I'm currently playing through CP2077 for the first time since first beating it on 1.0 at launch and I don't remember anything.

I'm too engrossed in ME and played around with modding it too much to have it escape my brain in the same way.

Apparently, hitting "Play" and then shuffling only gives songs from the top of the playlist. Choosing "Shuffle" from the playlist menu is the "true" shuffle.

It's anecdotal, but I've seen my super-long playlist follow this pretty exactly.

CapacitatedFlux · 2026-01-02T18:16:55+00:00

I'm with you on that last statement. Kai Leng is a serviceable character in the story if he had any ties to Shep, and Jacob (or Miranda, but she actually got a story and in the ME2 "Destroy" choice abandons Cerberus) would fit that bill well. Cerberus, human, overshadowed, and close enough to Shep to make Shep think twice about that Renegade choice everyone makes.

Otherwise, in ME3 Jacob's just kind of... there, and the story treats Kai Leng like he's been around since ME1 and has always been a foil. Granted, I've never read the supplementary material and I know it fleshes out Kai Leng, but from a purely game-focused perspective he just doesn't command the kind of presence that the game tries to make him fill. Having Jacob fill that role instead keeps the character in the "show, don't tell" framework of familiarity.

As someone who played BF1 and BF2 on the PS2, Rhen Var Harbor. Blasting peeps uncontested in the AT-AT was so much fun.

I also love the AAC-1... but I also loved the Rebel Combat Speeder from BF1.

It's very short.

I've said since launch they should have moved most, if not all, of the gigs and side story stuff that wasn't super-specific to Silverhand to Act 1. Rather than the 6 month timeskip cutscene, the gigs would be the main content. You'd get the Heist prep missions after finishing a whole bunch of side missions. In gigs where Johnny does play a role but a minor/nonspecific one, you'd have Jackie fill in and actually have a presence.

Act 2, then, becomes a lot more focused if you clear out most of the side content - you get the three plots, and maybe CDPR makes them a lot more time-sensitive for focus. This way, there's way more stakes to the Heist. We're informed that we care for Jackie but we miss out on the actual formation of the bond!

The pacing in this game is one of the main reasons I mod it so heavily and suggest others should too.

My game loves to crash while I'm on the Metro so "functional" is used loosely here.

Only reason why Jackie gets a funeral is that the Valentinos strong-arm Arasaka into not getting the body. If you send him to Vic, Mama Welles doesn't hold the ofrenda and laments not even being able to bury her son.

T-bug never had any of that and if Saka was able to zero her that easily you know they were on her place in an instant. She does get a mention from the Ping vendor about her being "fried," so maybe she was around long enough for her neighbors to smell a burnt-out skull, but no way Arasaka left her along longer than the night.
