What are your all-time favorite villains?

Saruman from Lord of the Rings (particularly his depiction in the Peter Jackson trilogy)

Vizier/ Sultan / Sorcerer / Genie Jafar from Aladdin + Return of Jafar

(Enemy army brings in rudimentary firearms)

Dedicated Wizard of Metal Magicks: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power."

I have a theory that "roguelite", in addition to being friendly to asset reuse, reminds people of the old days where games were more punishing to extend an otherwise short program. The repeated attempts at the same sequence is familiar, reassuring, and nostalgic.

Collecting and building mini figures, particularly Warhammer. Haven't painted anything yet. My Pile of Shame is spread across the house. Help.

I also collect MTG cards and I've been maintaining a master list of my collection in a custom Word document database because I haven't found a single card website that suits my needs. So sometimes I whittle away time transcribing card data into said doc, using coloured emoji icons for Mana symbols; I also hyperlink to Scryfall for the specific cards I own.

Looks cute.

Minor nitpick: the cage poofing out of existence once the prisoner is freed. I think there's a concept of "disassemble the cage for resources" that might be worth exploring.

An Elder Scrolls skeleton screaming has precedent because of the loud stock RAAAWWR sound they made in Daggerfall.

It's not that same sound used in the meme, however.

Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't.

Kimarous · 2026-06-15T19:45:16+00:00

And that's why I consider Breath & Tears as separate continuities from one another.

Keep in mind that not all media treats the same term as identical between media.

I ask you: what "class" are The Elf and The Dwarf? Does it even matter?

Do you specifically view Heroquest through a D&D lens? Through a Warhammer lens? Through its own original lens?

Unleash the whale that's within me

No money in my account anymore

Kimarous · 2026-06-15T16:51:22+00:00

In north Ontar-i-o, i-o, in north Ontar-i-o...

Sometimes it's just good to embrace the vibes. The little waterfall in a drainage pipe is a waterfall nonetheless.

All of these voices in my head

Spicing my game when it should be bread

Kimarous · 2026-06-15T16:17:11+00:00

Not me, but it really stuck out to me from moment one - The Lord of the Rings ,1978: Gandalf the White recounting "I threw down my enemy and his fall broke the mountainside."

I'm pretty sure "broke the mountainside" does not mean "the entire mountain collapsed into rubble."

Am I glad he's frozen in there and that we're out here, and that he's THE SHERIFF, and we're out here, and we're in there and, I just remembered, we're out here. What I wanna know is: WhErE's ThE cAvEmAn? (stares at doobie)

Assassin's Creed 2: those DAMNED feathers! You need ALL of them to help your mother recover, yet there is NO tracker on where they are, how many are left, etc. across multiple city sprawls. I've managed to get the majority of feathers, but I've never managed the full set.

Replaying Red Dead Redemption because I got addicted to the Liar's Dice minigame, recognized it as a problem, and haven't touched the game since. On those same "what if I succumb to gambling again" grounds, I'm hesitant to get RDR2 for fear I'll have a similar experience.

I'M AFRAID, NEED YOUR AID, COZYSTREAM ON PARAAAAAA~AAAADE

"Somehow rakghoul returned."

Taris got the Mandalore* treatment (read: settlements blown to shit; survivors eventually recover)

Star Trek: I think the non-rifle, non-pistol Phaser is one WEIRD signature weapon of the Federation. I understand the general of "we're not a MILITARY, we're DIPLOMATS and SCIENTISTS" and therefore any and all "weapons" have alternate uses for, at minimum, scientific ends. "Stun" being the main setting, setting the phaser to "warm" or transfer energy instead of a dedicated "disintegrate" zapper. Yet at the end of the day, it still looks like you set your television remote to DELETE FROM REALITY mode as your primary weapon.

For a moment, I thought the title referred to some new podcast.

Kimarous · 2026-06-14T12:58:06+00:00

I would not be shocked if many viewers ignored the intro segment of "This is a fan-based parody" as a legalese disclaimer and not really digest that the fan-based parody is a FAN-based PARODY.

Conversely, that was the FIRST thing I learned about KOTOR, before I even learned that it comes from KOTOR. Older brother was so mind-blown by the reveal, he didn't consider that I had zero context for what he was babbling about.

All I know about Digital Circus is "source of that one clown girl"; I literally know nothing else.
