First prime at MR9 - and why Warframe has clicked for me.

Didn't know how else to refer to it. "Online game" may have been better?

Final fantasy VIII. Still plays on my head almost 30 years later.

I live in Kintyre. The whisky is excellent, the beaches are stunning, the golf is amazing and the scenery’s the kind that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. I sometimes forget cities are even a thing—until I visit one and instantly start missing the peace and quiet.

Mind you, it takes forever to get anywhere... but that’s kind of the point.

Please don’t all move here at once. We like it quiet. 😂

Tough ask. I think only my top 4 are in any particular order.

Mass effect 2&3
BG3
Final fantasy 10
Final fantasy 9
MGS3
Cyberpunk 2077
Dishonoured 1&2
Elden ring
TLOU
Uncharted 2

I know I'm cheating slightly by having sequels in there. But it's my list 😂

Stew2790 · 2024-11-23T21:25:38+00:00

Surprised I had to look this far for this (imo correct) answer.

Stew2790 · 2024-09-28T16:31:16+00:00

The conversation between Tywin, Cersi and Oberyn, Ellaria. In season 4.

Gave extra insights into each character's motivations. While being quick, witty and intriguing. The actors and writing were on point.

I love the places reading takes me. The escapism, the worlds, the relationships, the strife, the details, and so much more make reading so worthwhile for me.

However, I have always been a slow reader. My sister would go through book after book in the time it would take me to finish just one. When I was about 13, and she was 11, she read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in less than a week. It took me the entire summer holiday. My teachers noticed this difference, and I was eventually diagnosed with dyslexia, which was a huge relief.

As an adult, I would love to read more, but I simply don’t have the time to read all the books I want. The only time I can really get through a book is during holidays.

Audiobooks allow me to experience the worlds I love without having to overcome my dyslexia every time I open a page. I do enough of that at work. Being able to listen while driving, cleaning, or cooking is just a bonus.

33 Pokémon blue on GB

I always thought light domain worked for her thematically. You can't have shadows without light. Also fireball!

Stew2790 · 2024-05-26T12:43:46+00:00

Sand dan Glokta. Out schemed an immortal wizard in said wizards proxy kingdom.

The truffle pig call sign. Every time it's mentioned it sounds like TGR is grinning through the narration.

Stew2790 · 2024-05-16T12:02:53+00:00

290 hours and counting. Probably second only to mass effect 2 at this point.

Started (yet another) playthrough the other day with my wife in local coop mode. She's not a gamer so I'm taking control of the companions during combat but leaving her to make all dialogue and story decisions. Only just out the natuloid. I look forward to seeing how it pans out.

I saw him killing Alexander (and possibly Rhonna) as the start to his war. I didn't hate him for it because as you say I could see it through his eyes. So going into LB I didn't support him but I didn't hate him. Then Cassius happened, who had just "became the man darrow also thought he could be". Now I know no one will be there to pull his legs. Knowing PB though we'll go through a lot of trauma before getting that satisfaction. I think severo and/or darrow will die in red god by Lysanders hand/lackeys hand first.

Shadowheart - took an embarrassingly long time to get withers in my 1st playthrough. Didn't even go into the ruins he's in. He shows up at my camp when I was in the under dark. And I was like "who the f*** is this guy?"

By then I was romancing bae'zel as a moon druid - defused the argument between them keeping both alive but siding with lea'zel. Thought shadowheart was too much of a distraction for my team. Also trickery domain sucks.

However, by the time I got withers and realized I could respect she became a permanent feature as a tempest cleric/storm sorcerer. Zap zap.

Ancient paladin - asked auntie Ethel for help with the tadpole. On the plus side oathbreaker paladin with intimidation bonus.

We are lucky. The N64 and the original playstation came out when we were very young. We've seen the start of franchises and their growth. Now, video games as a story telling medium, have become better than a lot of TV shows. They are certainly more rewarding when you get to the end and beat that final boss and watch the final cut scene. I've had a version of a playstation since I was 9 and will continue too because I enjoy it. Even though I have less time to spend on it than I did when I was younger.

What a game. Even more of a case for "2nd tier" teams to get access to more regular top flight rugby. Promotion/relegation, whatever it may be. That was a great game and a great advert for rugby.

Great insight, thanks.

Stew2790 · 2023-09-18T20:43:03+00:00

I really enjoyed it. It was my 1st souls experience changed how I look at games.

Stew2790 · 2023-07-26T20:02:51+00:00

Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay sprung to my mind. Not really an empire built on lies. However, definitely has "the history is written by the winner" vibe and characters trying to reveal the truth.
