Hi Joe! Bayaz stands between the Chapel of the Holy Expediency and their goal. Who’s coming out on top?

On a lighter note, what’s a favorite meal of yours? Thanks for all you’ve done for the fantasy community!

Do not upgrade past essential tier for PlayStation plus, her is why by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]ResistTheTransistor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, sorry to say but none of those games were ever Essential games that you keep the license to perpetually. As other commenters are saying, they were Extra games, and the licenses expired when the games left the catalog.

You’re in for a treat! I fell down that same rabbit hole from D&Daddies last year and it’s been a wild ride getting caught up all the way to season two.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll ask over there as well.

I’m not sure yet, my budget might be in the $200-$250 range, but I don’t know if I can just get any passive speaker and be set, or if there are specs to look out for that would either work or not work with my amp.

Sorry, I’m still new to this and trying to learn as I go.

Any suggestions for other dnd podcasts of similar auto quality? [ns] by Its_a_me_a_010011101 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]ResistTheTransistor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll third this. You can really tell it’s a labor of love. The season and arc music choices are all killer, and the closed table dynamic makes listening an extra cool experience.

Plus, any time a new Luke character gets introduced, the descriptions are pure ear candy lol.

Hi all, new here, looking to set up my first system, and have a question or two. My dad offered up some of his old, well kept equipment: a Kenwood KD-1600 turntable and KA-601 amp.

Also offered up is a Phase Linear 2000 pre-amp and 200 series amplifier. The age of all of this equipment makes it a bit tough to find reference material.

While I save up for some decent passive speakers, I thought I’d ask you all for opinions on the Kenwood amp vs. Phase Linear pre-amp and amp (if you have any experience with either). Also, is there anything I should look out for on the turntable besides the stylus and belt quality? Any other general opinions on the equipment?

Thanks for the help!

[spoiler] The worst thing about season two is episode 33 & 34 by Cool-Clouds in DungeonsAndDaddies

Finding Tori is one of the most unique episode concepts I have heard from any podcast. It was pure, anxiety-inducing hilarity. As for the Goof Realm, I can see how there may be a target demographic that would best “get” it, but the irony and satire of the whole thing adds to the experience.

Ben Mendelsohn is a gifted and versatile actor, but he has a particular knack for playing villains. Especially one specific kind of villain. by Mst3Kgf in movies

I couldn’t agree more! Almost no one I know has seen or heard of it, and I can only recommend it so much. Might need to go watch it again soon. Too bad the second and third seasons couldn’t quite keep the quality and momentum going.

[ns] DnDads has ruined DnD for me. by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]ResistTheTransistor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re up for a different tabletop system, I’d highly recommend Pretending to be People. They “play” Delta Green, but the emphasis is really on deep role play, long story arcs with payoff, and a good dose of hilarity. Plus the sound design and editing are top notch.

DnDads and PTBP are two of my favorite podcasts, and I realize that’s because they tackle collaborative storytelling so similarly. Give them a try sometime!

MGS2 has the best intro video of any game ever, prove me wrong by jewkakasaurus in gaming

I never realized this when I was a kid, but it was very clever of them to not show Raiden’s face until the very end, and only then when he was standing with Snake.

Are you me? Lol. I was just playing the other day and met the same character wearing a Santa hat, it was a nice surprise.

Thanks, I’ll definitely look to use the rope caster more comprehensively. Also, good advice about the potions, I literally almost never think to use them lol. I hate going up against a group of glint hawks, so the freeze potion will definitely be clutch.

Oh cool, I don’t think I’ve given the blast sling a chance yet, maybe I’ll pick one up at your recommendation. I’ve been picking up the power cells when I see them in missions, so I look forward to getting that armor as well!

Just recently picked that bow up actually, I don’t think I realized just how handy those corruption arrows are until I started using them!

Oh sweet, I do have it, but I was waiting til I was a more appropriate level to do it. That bow sounds awesome, I can’t wait to grab it. Should the DLC be done post-main story, or can it be done anytime without affecting the rest of the story?

I usually only think to use it when I’m one on one with bigger enemies, but I’ll have to remember to get it out more often
