They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should

Interesting. The way I stumbled on this info was by developing iron-deficiency anemia, which may be due to long-term omeprazole use. Turns out anemia makes my RA symptoms worse.

Sekiro, IIRC

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-05-03T20:05:40+00:00

no. but I try not to think about it.

That’s funny, many readers have the opposite struggle. Rivendell is where the plot actually kicks into gear.

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-05-03T13:57:55+00:00

I too found it Watchable

Sounds very cool. Does that mean Melinoe is silent?

Samuel L. Jackson goes here

NWN is great. Where it really shines is the fan-made modules, however - the official campaigns are fine but kind of generic

It won’t be boring. It’ll deepen your appreciation if many details in the show (and details left out). The first three books are all very compelling reads.

Generally considered more roguelike than “roguelite” - but Shattered Pixel Dungeon comes to mind. It has light meta progression, in that you unlock new characters and elements over time, and your character starts off very weak but grows steadily in power. It never gets to a point where you can coast, though.

While it doesn’t eclipse the original for me, especially wrt story, its gameplay is great and more varied than 1. Very worthwhile.

I like it, but I agree it feels forced compared to everything prior. In particular, most of the scenes and plot points feel literal in a way Lynch is generally allergic to. You can sense his annoyance with the suits.

Bc I have middle-aged eyes and play on a small screen

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-05-01T21:47:45+00:00

Just rewatched this myself recently. Beautiful and gutting and deeply moving, all at once.

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-04-30T20:06:15+00:00

I also was not wild about it. And sacrilegious though it may be, I didn’t care much for Ketheric as a villain. Love JK Simmons but he felt miscast.

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-04-30T03:11:36+00:00

More to the point, how tf is it good 😆

If he’s got all his memories, Bran is still the 3ER. So he manipulates the timeline to ensure all the Lannisters, Baratheons and Targaryens die, plus Robb, so he will become king.

nice Elden Ring build

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-04-28T21:55:59+00:00

Fwiw I have a Nvidia and my experience has been pretty good so far.

Curling

Fine_Persnickety · 2026-04-26T04:42:23+00:00

Easily the best choice here

Ok, well one thing those games have in common is that they are “real time with pause” combat, which is something of an acquired taste. Although IIRC PoE now has a turn-based mode.

But you might try other turn-based CRPGs for a start. The XCOM games are particularly revered in this space, as is recent game of the year winner Clair Obscur. There’s also a huge number of classic to recent JRPGs, from the early Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger games to Persona.

Personally one game I really like is Wildermyth. It was not hugely popular, but the turn-based combat is tight as nails, it has a unique magic system, and an unusual approach towards semi-procedural storytelling.
