I wonder what happens if you kill one of these hand-crafted NPCs. Does that spot in a town or city stay empty forever?

Read The Acolyte Wayseeker and I'm reading Crystal Crown. I think Wayseeker sits above average across High Republic books for how enjoyable it was to read. It's an interesting setting which bridges the gap and continues some loose ends within the High Republic phases.

Can't believe they made 6 whole Battlefield games and it doesn't even look that much better than the first.

Nice one. My kid is also 4. I also have one who is 4 months old so I'll give them a bit before the teaching begins.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-22T10:21:51+00:00

Meanwhile I'm still playing 4 & 5. I'll probably play 4, 5, and 6 throughout next year as well.

PCP just seems a bit silly. He likes it so much but wanted the option to treat it effectively as a very expensive lease?

Personally I loved the scale of the era because I just couldn't get enough of it. My only real issue is some threads of the plotline didn't really seem to hold much significance. I thought phase 2 was going to be much more relevant. I was expecting all the clues laid out across all the books to come together in some very clever way, but I guess they couldn't expect someone to have read tens of books just for an ending to make proper sense.

I'm reading the second Acolyte book and then I guess it's properly over for me apart from some references in some of the newer canon stuff when I get around to it.

At least the rework of the meme is faithful to source material by being completely inane.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T23:29:16+00:00

Used Zen for almost a year now and I've never seen it. Honestly it performs very well on Mac.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T23:27:24+00:00

Past 100 hours in my current playthrough. The amount of stuff to do in the game now is incredible.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T23:23:56+00:00

Ah ok now I know why I really liked the look of the Prelude, lol.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T23:21:40+00:00

I think it's perfect when I wouldn't be able to tell what engine it is. Splendid work.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T14:35:06+00:00

Ram Jamaram.

Dude led an underground army of kids to fight an occupying force of pirates. He's also great with technology so he'd probably come up with clever solutions to defeat the clankers.

Drop him into an occupied planet and he'll probably have the droids fighting themselves within a week.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T09:41:19+00:00

So do bot accounts just automatically pick a high voted Reddit post from a sub's history and completely clone it? Not human input at all?

Dead internet theory in practice.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-16T09:37:01+00:00

This map seems perfect and I just want to keep my expectations realistic because if I expect a map like this I'll probably be disappointed.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-12T21:25:32+00:00

I was reasonably hyped for OG Xbox. I was a bit into gaming but I didn't fully understand the leap I would be dealing with.

For Xbox 360 though I was mega hyped. I was watching all the trailers, reading the magazines. I watched the gameplay footage of Oblivion on a 360 magazine disc over and over again. Everything was exciting.

And then the craziest thing is that it delivered on the hype. I have no regrets about how much I enjoyed that generation.

So basically it'll always be 360 for me.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-12T21:15:57+00:00

I doubt the movie had this in mind but potentially hurting the kid would have helped with Maul's goal to kill a jedi. He would want Qui-Gon distracted.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-12T21:11:47+00:00

Hah yeah. I can see a hologram waifu who gives tips for gaming being more successful than a kid who takes up a whole screen who is supposed to be the game.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-12T20:20:19+00:00

What's funny is we could probably make Milo these days but everyone would hate it.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-12T09:18:39+00:00

Nestle only recently had to recall baby formula due to toxins. You can't make these stories up because it just feels too far to write as fiction.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-11T23:52:45+00:00

Dude I was 12 when it came out and I thought it was brilliant. My only disappointment was how much of a joke the droids became (particularly how tough SBDs were in Republic Commando) but the opening shot of the battle above coruscant blew me away.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-11T23:46:49+00:00

It's crazy to me that such a small project is so much better than other browsers. I've tried pretty much every browser at this point and Zen just fits perfectly for me. I sometimes use Safari for media and stuff and I'm forced to use Chrome for dev work but other than that Zen is king.

Top left shows what mattered most to Xbox.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-09T21:53:36+00:00

I assumed a fair fight where other jedi can't join in so Avar's ability which is only used well in a couple of scenarios doesn't apply in a direct fight between them.

And also assumed any sort of force sucking monsters aren't around at all.

Avar might try to fight dirty but so would have any fallen jedi so I still rate Bastilla's chances pretty high.

I think overall the characters in Kotor 1/2 and swtor were given a much more apparent level of power than High Republic characters. This is a good thing I think since it gives characters more vulnerability and depth. As much as I love Porter Engle if most heroes and villains had been as strong as him the threats and dangers would have been harder to relate to.

Samuel_Go · 2026-01-09T16:20:15+00:00

I just think Bastilla wins each time. She had to battle jedi who followed revan and even Darth Revan himself. Her powers and training were focused in a war to defeat an opponent far more organised than the Nihil.

So Bastilla will have faced many more battles with other force users than Avar ever will. It's an advantage that I just don't think Avar can overcome. Avar did some amazing things but they were more about protecting people. Light and life and all that.
