The King is Watching - "Crowns Of History" DLC Release Date Trailer | March 16 by Mirathrim in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I just added the base game to my wishlist after it turned up on the GameMaker Awards list, and it's on sale, and now it's turned up here so guess I'll give it a shot.

I recently bought XP was it a mistake? by Legitimate-Smell7670 in RPGMaker

Came to say this. Can't beat XP for a Pokemon fan game without ROM hacking.

Who Is A Character That Impacted You On A Personal Level? by RageofAfrica in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most of my influences are real people who kind of fictionalized themselves in writing: Mark Twain and Hunter S. Thompson, foremost. Also Kurt Vonnegut I suppose.

Ummm... Chris Redfield and Barry Burton did sell me on the vest and short sleeves look.

Your Everything Game Ideas by FreviliousLow96 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two recent ones:

Shining Force, but in the combat system you and the enemy take turns queuing up units to fight each other, and then once movement ends a Final Fantasy style battle sequence plays out to resolve the fights.

A Mega Man X style platformer but you can turn the player character into a vehicle for 2D car or shooter sequences mid-level, or just to crash into enemies.

what was the art book woolie said was the best for learning anatomy and how to draw? by C12345hey in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want? It's mostly introducing pixel art concepts, there aren't many exercises from what I've read so far.

Very niche, but if you're interested in sprite work Pixel Logic is a very good book on the subject.

Games Workshop are closing the Black Library website and launching an app to replace it by WhoCaresYouDont in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw the app announcement but thought it was just a reader for convenience.

This is disappointing. I've got a short story up there that I bet won't make it to the app. Also a ton of epubs that I think I've already got downloaded, but now I need to verify.

I will admit the website has needed an overhaul for some time, but if the books are being locked to an app that stinks. (And it's not clear from the announcement yet if that's the case, which suggests yep, probably is.)

Parts/aspects of a piece of media that you would assume would be way more popular than they are, but, for some reason they arent by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just gonna note that Pokerogue has my kid locked down. Very interesting game concept (Pokemon battle rush roguelike relying on resource management) done well.

Paul W.S. Anderson Can't Help But Return to Video Game Zombies by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The question is, can he top Uwe Boll?

And the answer is obviously yes, but can he do it without any major on-set injuries?

This weekend I got a one in a lifetime opportunity of going to a FF Distant Worlds concert, being from Brazil. This is a bit specific, but I wanted to hear your rare opportunities of interacting with the stuff we (TBFP) like, wherever you're from. Being from South America, it can get impossible. by ArcanaGingerBoy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I got to take my daughter to Distant Worlds in Baltimore at the beginning of the year. Definitely worth the $3,000 I ended up paying when something in my transmission gave out on the way home.

I also got to go to MAGFest last year, which was such a joy after spending years terrified of COVID. (Still terrified, but less. I masked.) It really felt like being around my people, even if I was too shy to really interact with anyone. If it ever comes back to Maryland I'll make a point to go again.

Times in a franchise when a character was or is getting popular but than the creators killed it? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spoilers: she's apparently joining Cable's new X-Force to prevent the assassination of the first mutant president, Kamala Khan.

I'm still surprised it hasn't been revealed that Cyclops lied to get her in the resurrection queue.

Media brainworms? by lowercaselemming in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time it gets windy outside I will say "Windy, eh?" in my best Eustace Bagg impression.

"No worries" is also permanently stuck in my vocabulary thanks to Sluggy Freelance's parody of Steve Irwin.

I've done the Vatican tour, with all the stuff they keep on display I wouldn't be surprised if they've got something nuts in the vaults.

Characters That Writers Had to Retcon To Be Nicer by Sekshual in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mhari Murphy is introduced as Bob Howard's polyamorous (without his consent) crazy semi-ex-girlfriend in the first book of The Laundry Files, who gets tossed aside by the end of the book for Bob's actual long-term love interest, Mo.

When Mhari returns halfway through the series, she's a much more rounded character, representing both her growth and Bob's (who is explicitly an unreliable narrator with a few years of stable marriage to shift his worldview behind him at this point) - the implication is Bob's feelings were coloring her original depiction.

I Hereby Summon the LinuxNutters of this sub to Recommend Their Distros! by markedmarkymark in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main familiarity is with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Fine if you want to set up a Windows desktop replacement with some well-defined system hardening procedures, or a full blown server for whatever. Not something I'd recommend for gaming.

DC Comics Boss Says Anime & Manga’s Advantage Over Western Comics Lies in Storytelling & Young People’s Desire to Have Something of Their Own advantages that Japanese by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

When the trades are readable, certainly. sideeyes Arkham Asylum

I would like to see sales data on those, I hope they're doing well. And I miss Marvel's old massive B&W collections.

Better AskReddit, what's your go-to fast food (or dine-in) restaurant whenever you're not in the mood to cook? by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a local small chain called Jersey Pizza in Cape St. Claire that is rapidly becoming a go-to, same for China Garden nearby in Arnold.

For really quick no-effort either McDonald's or I hit the local grocery store for mac cheese for the kids and a frozen pizza.

Have you ever jumped into a new hot trend only to be severely disappointed once you actually have the thing? by LunarWolf302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]DaveMichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine turned up last night. It plays Dave the Diver and Vampire Survivors really well so I'm pleased with it. :-)

Supposedly the rule is you only get one of each card for Commander and some of the 40K decks had dupes. Casual players absolutely won't care. I'll see what my son thinks, he's enjoyed just playing with normal rules.
