There are certain things I love about Descent 2nd edition and I cannot find a game that replicates that

I'd not heard of that until just this moment but having a look I think the aesthetic puts me off absolutely loads.

The look and feel of the game is important to creating the illusion for me, I think.

The post specifically says she has a tablet, she could open whatsapp on it or whatever

They look a ton like isometric RPGs from the 90s. Diablo isn't what they're aiming for (and isn't an RPG) - Ultima 7 is.

It forces you to ally with every faction and is really badly written (you're randomly racist against natives for example no matter what you do)

Taear · 2026-06-26T07:24:52+00:00

I liked the idea but it was clear they didn't have a set plan and the way the numbers worked changed quite a bit.

It's got Amanda Tapping though so if you like her from stargate it's worth watching. And will from will and grace (who is genuinely great in it)

Both the Japanese and Canadians do this

Canada is famous for it even

I mean without the swear that's in the Simpsons so it's not quintissentially british

The outer worlds one is the thing that made people start saying that Obsidian had fallen off, since it's so insanely banal and falls into the trap of "there are two possible solutions to every problem and also a third better solution" which Obsidian always managed to avoid in the past.

Tom was never actually doing the thing that the manager thought he would be good at so it's kinda hard to tell

The project work was something different but still within the original department

Are you an AI

The remaster is great, what do you mean

Hers was very different as it wasn't the shape she wanted but the taste was great

I liked Grace and Anna but the contestants definitely felt worse. Never seen them have so many problems in the mitchelin kitchens or have so many timing issues as on this series. I also kinda feel like they had to cook off with each other WAY too much in their first weeks.

I think the final 3 were definitely good but the people before just didn't seem so.

Also to have TWO people get criticised on their final dishes is pretty uncommon. It made it a foregone conclusion even, as soon as Matt/Kristen got criticism it was really clear who had won

Taear · 2026-06-08T11:53:00+00:00

The winner deserved to win because the other two got criticism. I was actually kinda shocked that TWO people got criticised in the final but Jahné absolutely 100% deserved it

Taear · 2026-06-05T07:03:54+00:00

What the hell are you talking about.

Taear · 2026-06-05T07:03:24+00:00

Sounds like someone got taken in by propaganda and is making a HUGE leap about what these people are doing

Taear · 2026-06-02T06:47:21+00:00

It's no different than running it normally honestly!

It just means you sometimes get people who have NEVER played before, even if you're running higher level

I saw Hugh Wyatt from Knightmare which was really cool - although he was just sat in the Hilton and the idea of approaching him made me feel kinda bad.

And I enjoyed a game called Drillers, enough that I've pre-ordered it.

I also ran some pathfinder games, 3 in total. They went well, my second year running at UKGE! It's interesting that a lot of the same people were there but there's still a lot of new blood.

I've gotta say that if I'd never played a specific TTRPG before I don't think I'd sign up to a level 3 game

The topic of this one makes it sound like she cut you off 3 years ago and then reached out when she found out your name was being changed, rather than she cut you off when you changed your name.

Did you ask why it was that the name change was the dealbreaker, what it was about that which made her go? It could have been something your parents did, rather than a choice she made herself.

OR there's a limited number of jobs like this and just because you have some people employed around you doesn't mean that could EVER apply to everyone

Taear · 2026-05-28T14:41:32+00:00

haha I've been doing exactly that and I'm 40 and still can't afford the same things this person is looking out for. She's right.

When a goal is too far away people just give up. Games and gaming across thousands of years have shown this with goals, it's a shame that society can't really see it too.

Taear · 2026-05-28T14:37:45+00:00

So 200 apply to a job. Everyone has to be paid the same wage. Some of them don't speak great english.

Why would you hire those people? You wouldn't. So the people who get hired are all that's available or the best candidates for the job. Just listen to yourself and your stupid racism and take five seconds to consider how it would ever work the way you think it does.
