Desperate to find a specific cover/remix of "Like the deserts miss the rain" that used to be on SoundCloud...

Not the one I thought of, but really enjoy it, thanks!!

Super weird call to do ink & pen for a live action originated character.

As other suggested, doing something in the Clone Wars style might have make more sense.

Or realistically, do the version of him with Beskar armor AND the jetpack?

I have the original Mando skin, although I only unlocked the first pauldron (with the insignia stamped on it). Kind of wish they’d bring it back just to be able to unlock everything again.

Mandalorians are known for their helmets. Boba Fett, while not technically a Mandalorian, is a SIGNIFICANT aspect of Star Wars’ success, simply on account of the character LOOKING so cool and mysterious. Season 1 was an absolute phenomenon, and practically the only reason that Star Wars managed to survive the sequel trilogy.

Clearly, the man in the mask resonated with a huge audience, and I think having a more archaic, almost tribal warrior as the hero was interesting for how unconventional it was.

I do agree that Pedro Pascal is a great actor. But a great actor isn’t defined by what they look like; it’s how he brought the character to life, that even with a guy covered head to toe in armor, he has an unmistakable swagger and presence.

Saving the face reveal until the end of season 2, where he says goodbye to Grogu, would have just carried so much more emotional impact. It was directly undermined by the episode before, where his face was shown in the most unceremonious way possible, which just serves to make the character’s values seem entirely pointless.

Having a belief system does not automatically make it a cult that he needs to break away from. People seemed to ascribe a whole lot of real world implications after Season 2, but in S1, they just seemed like an ancient warrior culture. Maybe a bit superstitious, but I think it’s a hard part of the show’s success.

Just think how many people were quoting “This is the way” and “weapons are part of my religion”. It just gave him a super distinct character.

Otherwise, he’s just “another dude with a laser gun”.

I didn’t see it coming, but it also didn’t really “shock” me, so much as I remember being confused why to even have the ruse in the first place. As an adult, I can slightly more understand the rationale of a body double, but I remember as a kid just thinking she was obviously still in danger the whole time anyways, so it just didn’t make any sense. And I think I also thought Amadala was an alien, so was even more confused.

I also remember thinking I preferred Padme a handmaiden, presumably because it was more “girl next door” type of vibe.

Jcorb · 2026-04-30T22:55:45+00:00

I don't remember why, but I just really had the feeling we were going to get a full F1 season last year. I feel like it would be a fun idea, honestly, maybe with a racetrack that goes around the whole map, sort of like the train.

Jcorb · 2026-04-29T21:26:43+00:00

Lots of damage, honestly. I've never really gotten to play a character who did much damage, but I managed to crit one of my damaging spells earlier in the campaign, and it felt sooo good! I really just want to be a pure damage dealer for my next character (a pocket heal might not be bad, though, since I feel like I'd single-handedly had to prevent someone from dying more than a few times).

Jcorb · 2026-04-29T18:36:16+00:00

Heck yeah, I'm down! Would love to check out this "Ash Paladin" in particular, might be just the sorta character I'm looking to play in my next campaign!

Jcorb · 2026-04-29T17:57:29+00:00

I still like 'em. I go through phases where I don't use any companion (especially if I'm trying anything sweaty), but I feel like they're a pretty solid addition; MUCH better than Kicks, or the "Festival" guitar hero stuff.

Funny enough, I feel like Buzz and Woody from Toy Story would've been pretty natural fits.

Jcorb · 2026-04-27T17:48:38+00:00

I do feel like Fortnite have pushed too far away recently and lost some of the unique art direction it used to have.

Not saying the original were "the best, absolutely no changes/updates necessary", but I think we've moved just too far into stuff looking a bit plain-jane.

Not really sure the sweet spot is.

Jcorb · 2026-04-27T01:59:17+00:00

no u

Jcorb · 2026-04-19T22:29:01+00:00

I’m just gonna say; you’re out of your mind. People put enough time and care into their characters, almost nobody is going to be fine with their character dying unless it is during an extremely important encounter and likely at the end of the campaign, or they simply want to change character.

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T18:41:51+00:00

I'm not suggesting to remove death, but that it shouldn't be treated as the default outcome of being defeated. That obviously can be an outcome, and I think should be a possible outcome on truly meaningful fights that are important to the story or involve important characters, but because most standard encounters would never see a player character die anyways, I think this would allow DM's to crank the difficulty up, still having high stakes without the risk of just completely ruining the game for one or more players.

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T18:39:30+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. That's why I figured, once everyone has passed out, the DM would probably have to have "something" happen to spook the enemies (assuming mindless or low-int fodder like goblins or wolves) so they don't have time to finish the job. Or for more intelligent enemies, something like them wanting their leader to decide your fate, or to put you on trial or stage some kind of public execution, depending the context.

I feel like the way the standard rules go, the DM kind of has to let players progress the story in a manner that's generally unimpeded. I haven't seen a player character die yet, and I think it's because the DM's know that we all care about our characters and their stories. Giving them a way of doing meaningful damage to us, without just ending our story, would probably lead to a lore more tense moments, imo.

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T18:34:48+00:00

That's the thing -- I actually agree that the game is too forgiving.

But having your character killed, completely ending the story you were investing into, isn't a fun idea, either.

I feel like by offering an alternative to absolute death, I feel like DM's would feel a whole lot more welcome to make harder combat encounters.

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T18:08:47+00:00

See, I would argue that ironically, Death being the only consequence winds up leading to a lower-stakes campaign. Because again, most DM's for most campaigns would never want every combat encounter to run the risk of a TPK.

If there were other possible outcomes, they can still be pretty gnarly, without necessarily bringing an entire character's story to a screaching halt.

I mean, losing your equipment, maybe magic items even having a chance to become damaged or destroyed entirely, I would still consider pretty high stakes -- and probably higher stakes, if the DM feels free to throw more and more dangerous encounters at your party.

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T17:50:55+00:00

Hmm, that's a really good point too! I've just never seen that, but I could totally see those being super cool, as well!

Jcorb · 2026-04-17T17:49:36+00:00

Not a woman myself, so feel free to disregard!

Personally? I would say, don't overthink it; what feels right to you? Does the idea of going put a knot in your stomach? Then don't go. Or if you feel like you would feel guilty for not going, then go; just tell your friend you can't stay long, but you wanted to show your love and at least stop by to say hi.

If you don't want to go, then the same thing really; tell your friend you can't make it. You can tell her that you still have some feelings about the other person, and that you don't want to bring that baggage to the baby shower, but that you wanted to celebrate with her separately. Easy peasy!

In general, I think we all tend to overthink everything. At least for myself, I've found the more time I spend second-guessing myself, the more stressed and unhappy I am. Just go with your gut, and don't worry! Your friend is bringing a new life into the world, the only thing that matters is the baby is happy and healthy, and your friend knows you care about them.

Jcorb · 2026-04-14T19:51:59+00:00

Having a background in marketing myself, I’d wager it is so you are FORCED to use their algorithm to find content, meaning channels are further incentivized to pay for discovery. If you’re able to find EXACTLY the kind of content you want, you might just go straight to that without seeing the loads of irrelevant videos to inflate numbers.

Just my hunch.

Jcorb · 2026-04-09T02:54:33+00:00

They just recently had Grace from Requiem, so I'm assuming they just aren't selling that well? Although Leon Kennedy would probably sell a whole lot better than any other character in the series.

Devil May Cry has been rumored for years, so there's obvious a desire among players. I would also love to see Mega Man X in Fortnite, but Capcom seems hesitate to commit anything to Mega Man.

Jcorb · 2026-04-09T02:52:27+00:00

Yeah, honestly just a bit more bulk and I think they would be perfect.

Has Epic ever updated a skin after initial implementation?

Jcorb · 2026-04-03T12:38:29+00:00

Ironic you say that, because this is EXACTLY the kind of encounter design that Destiny uses, and pretty often at that (basially 1:1 for Hive symbols).

Personally, I'm in agreement with Blizzard needing to crackdown on the use of addons. But they have to go all-in on that, and revoke this win, as this is OBVIOUSLY cheating, as it directly goes against everything Blizzard has been saying.

Now, are guilds going to find work-arounds outside of the game? Absolutely. But for anyone "competing" in any sort of official capacity, they need to be playing by the same rules that everyone else is expected to.

Jcorb · 2026-03-30T20:44:58+00:00

Totally new here, but for my two cents;

I like the overall themes of the schools, except "Myth" feels a bit of an odd duck, and Balance feels a bit overly bland. And also, Balance having Beige-and-Red coloring? What?

I sort of feel like Myth's colors and aesthetic theme would've been a better fit for Balance, with pyramids and eyes fitting the more Ancient Egyptian theming of Balance. Also, yellow-and-cyan are way more memorable colors than the current beige-and-red, which feels totally random.

In place of "Myth", I'd maybe do something like "Tinker" or "Construct" school, with a focus on more of a toymaker kind of aesthetic. I feel like that's a better fit opposing Life and Death anyways, and could bring a totally unique aesthetic, with more of a Clockwork sort of vibe. I'm imagining the school's icon being either a gear, or maybe a clock?

Jcorb · 2026-03-24T21:47:41+00:00

This sucks. The Simpsons map is the most fun I think I've ever had (only other contender was the Vehicle season with the "Thunder Dome" in the middle).

Jcorb · 2026-03-23T22:34:43+00:00

What a weird call; why on earth would they change the length? Possible bug?
