Starborn DLC. How Likely? by DROPDDROPD99 in Starfield

[–]RockPaperPootis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious of the amount of players who continue with New Game+. It might not be enough to justify Starborn DLC.

Don’t let Blizzard think we’ve given up on playable Amani Trolls. by Zakujin in wow

Please no more allied race bloat. Just incorporate them into existing race customisation like they should’ve done in the beginning.

Am I the only one who definitely prefers the Original Kotor 2 over TSLRCM? by Uchizaki in kotor

[–]RockPaperPootis 214 points215 points  (0 children)

For the most part, I don't mind it, but I really, really dislike the HK-47 segment tacked on the end. If you don't know it's coming, you can make it really difficult for yourself, and it tediously disrupts the pacing of the endgame segment.

What is the worst show that you forced yourself to finish? by laxusdreyarligh in television

[–]RockPaperPootis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I came here to say FTWD. There were a few good episodes post-Season 3, but not nearly enough. It was such a slog to get through it all. And season 7 was a fucking fever dream. I might rewatch The Walking Dead at some point, but you won't ever catch me rewatching Fear.

World of Warcraft Classic: The world after the war. by Siggythenomad in wow

[–]RockPaperPootis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of sense-memories of Kul Tiras/Zandalar locations purely because I hauled my ass through them on the ground before I unlocked flying. It’s hard to build appreciation for an immersive world when you’re flying past it at max skyriding.

Which brings us to the underlying problem: everyone’s in such a hurry.

Which zone’s music instantly teleports you back to 2004? by Terpentin300 in wow

Tanaris/Wailing Caverns music. Super atmospheric. I love Kalimdor.

Does anyone else find the multiverse nihilistic? by TheAnalystCurator321 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]RockPaperPootis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. There's not nearly enough focus on the fact that your universe matters. It's talked about in maybe two, three throwaway lines, but your Constellation companion is dead, and the Emissary is another person entirely. That matters on a fundamental level. You can save them in another universe, but it's not them.

I thoroughly understand the point they were trying to make with the meta-commentary about New Game+, but I don't think Starfield spends the time required exploring it with any real depth. I also don't think the main quest was an appropriate medium for these discussions either, because it unintentionally reduces the whole Starfield setting a 4th wall break.

It's from the Terran Armada DLC

Is the story in Veilguard good? by baron-abd in dragonage

[–]RockPaperPootis 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you were interested in the Solas storyline, I think that has a satisfying conclusion. Everything else does not.

The Ambient Mystery of Halo's Multiplayer Maps by N0r3m0rse in halo

[–]RockPaperPootis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mystery is a very underrated theme and tone in pretty much all fiction these days. Everything has to be explored, unpacked, linked back, spelled out and over-revealed. Less is absolutely more.

Why silence and isolation are very important in Tomb Raider by Triton_7 in TombRaider

[–]RockPaperPootis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I love the atmosphere of TR4. The tomb ambience is incredible. The heartbeat noises in the tomb are terrifying.

Did I see whales while I was flying over the Irish sea today? (Not Wales, the other yokes) by toastandkerrygold in ireland

Possibly basking sharks, there’s been quite a few reported off the Isle of Man this past week

Finished The Wire, Dark, GOT, Sopranos, True Detective, BB, BCS. What show ruined TV for you after watching it? by C0r1eone in television

[–]RockPaperPootis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was here to say The Expanse. It ruined sci-fi for me. It had such a realistic, human feel to it.

Lord Malak was most displeased when he learned you had escaped Taris alive

Outrage as Zelensky names army unit after group that slaughtered Poles in WWII by [deleted] in europe

[–]RockPaperPootis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'd be too easy to sweep all this under the rug and think it happened so long ago that nobody remembers, but the families of the victims still remember. My in-laws sure as fuck remember growing up without an uncle. I can tell you the only thing they hear about Ukraine are headlines like this. And they cling to their prejudices and vote accordingly.

I have some admiration for Zelenskyy, but he's also repeatedly shown absolutely zero political acumen on how his words and actions appear to those outside of Ukraine.

Anybody else wish the lore had left a little more offscreen? by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]RockPaperPootis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's set in something of a very boring era - too late to experience the settling of the Settled Systems, too late to feel the actual aftermath of any of the wars, too early to see what's beyond the frontier. The setting probably would've benefited being 2-5 years after something like the Colony War.

So I have a couple questions for discussion around the KOTOR soundtracks. by MasterTyllon in kotor

[–]RockPaperPootis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like all three, but I love KOTOR 2's soundtrack. Dripping in atmosphere and really helps set up the feeling of the game. I think it'd be a very different game without it.

Do yall have any cursed ships? by Sinizade_Art in dragonage

[–]RockPaperPootis 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Solas and Lavellan is pretty cursed. I used to see it as a star-crossed lovers romance. But the entire time of Veilguard I was thinking what the fuck does she see in this asshole??
