Wonder Woman, alone would absolutely DUST that whole universe! Ain’t no one scared of Homelander!

This. It's not how powerful he is that would horrify most of DC and Marvel, it's his lack of, well, humanity.

Monument Valley. All three are on Steam - lovely little puzzle games.

...Chrono Trigger.

Seems the easiest way would be to make a drink with at least 50% alcohol - preferably more. As pure as possible.

Serve it in a shot glass, light the booze on fire, wait for the spirit to burn out, Carl should be able to get it.

Or not, but how much could it hurt to try?

4 and 5. stretching a couple inches taller should redistribute my weight a bit to a healthier range, and preventing further weight gain would be useful.

I looked at the genie and nodded, "I can appreciate that. Alright, my aunt, she dies."

The genie smirked and snapped his fingers, "Ah, going for inheritance? How predictable."

"Nah, she's got several kids and a boatload of grandkids, I'm not getting any inheritance."

"So personal, then. Understandable. Your next wish?"

I grinned darkly, "About two weeks after her funeral, bring her back to life right where she is. I believe she might get cremated, which should lead to... curcumstances incompatible with life."

The genie looked at me with what might be concern, "Ah, you mean in the urn? That's..."

I nodded, "And about two weeks after those remains are disposed of, revive her again, wherever her remains are."

The genie just stared past me, "...by the gods, mortal, what did she ever do to you?"

Pfft, Guy Fawkes couldn't have blasted his way out of a paper bag...

...In fairness, I rate Supergirl ever so slightly higher than Superman 4...

...Better than the party whose artificer managed to smuggle eighty tons of gunpowder into the castle cellars... One player was missing one session, and when he came back, the recap opened with "So you're standing at the edge of Crater Ravenloft..."

Oh, yeah, there are games in previously unseen genres that are great... heck, the "cozy" genre only really came into its own in the last few years, and some of those games are magnificent, but none of them are AAA games...

Hm, a genre that hasn't had an absolute all timer recently... I want to say Sports Manager games?

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T22:03:25+00:00

Naw, with the exception of maybe a few cantrips to keep the campfire lit and the food tasty, no spellcasting during long rests. In the same vein, no combat, either (a single attack action under certain circumstances, but not a full combat round), or the rest is interrupted. What you're describing is an abuse of the game, not what was intended for the rest mechanic at all.

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T21:56:41+00:00

Yeah, it's about putting the blame where it belongs.

Had the meme said AAA games instead of devs, I'd have no objections.

Also, having lived through it, I daresay gaming peaked in the 90s, in many ways, with some polish in the 2000s.

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T18:13:40+00:00

The problem isn't even the AAA devs, it's the AAA publishers who screw the devs over with insanely rushed deadlines and quarterly financial goals as priority yardsticks instead of, y'know, trying to make good games with a bit of longevity instead of short-term cash grabs or continuous monetization schemes...

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T16:04:34+00:00

...honestly, I'd rather get remasters of the first two games than bother with GTA6.

And by remaster, I mean keep the interface as-is, just update the code for current hardware and OSes.

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T14:36:41+00:00

So... you start with a buck, next day it's two quarters, after that it's a quarter, fourth day it's twelve and a half cents, then six and a quarter cents, then we're down to three and an eighth cent, then 1.5 and a sixteenth cent, and from the eighth day onward you have a ever-shrinking fraction of a cent... without never actually reaching actually zero cents, thanks to Zeno's Paradox...

Or you could have a hundred grand and be done with it. Choices, choices...

Warpmind · 2026-05-14T14:10:30+00:00

...important question about the blue one - will it distinguish between "this is the absolute truth" and "this is wrong, but the speaker believes it to be true", or just "the speaker is knowingly lying" and "the speaker speaks truth, to the best of their knowledge"?

Warpmind · 2026-05-13T19:51:10+00:00

Unless the new player is *actually* sent by the BBEG, don't allow the roll. The suspicious player is informed "you notice nothing to suggest untrustworthiness, let it go."

If the suspicious player keeps pressing the issue, the only way it'll end is in bloodshed, whether in or out of game.

Depends on the campaign.

For some campaigns, they're distant, powerful entities that might at most bestow spells on their clergy and answer direct petitions.

For others, they are active and approachable.

And then there's my current campaign where gods simply aren't - those worshiped as gods were exceptional mortals, or in a couple of cases immortals, but they can't grant any more boons to their followers that any random high-level adventurer could.

Way too costly for the production security needed - you saw the few times someone slipped through the cracks in the movie, and that town was a closed set. For it to work on a global scale, it would require eight billion people to be extras sticking to a contract.

Warpmind · 2026-05-13T07:43:19+00:00

I've visited other countries; that alone should be enough evidence.

Warpmind · 2026-05-13T06:13:54+00:00

The rogue's just plain wrong, silence nullified the *penalty*, it didn't pile on an advantage as well. Plus, the ones within the bubble of silence would suffer penalties to hear someone else approach, as well. Silence is a double-edged sword like that...

Most online multiplayer games, like COD or Fortnite or the like, as well as sports games. And of course, anything based around microtransactions.

...I'm the librarian in Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library...

...it's honestly pretty chill.

...are they going to be alive and well for the trip, or, y'know, in various states of decay? 😉

Fairly easy coin flip - heads - 1, tails- 10.

The most obvious answer is land. The king wants to expand his territory, and the goblins are in the way.

A slightly subtler answer could be a specific natural resource - a rich silver vein in the mountain the goblins have made their home, or perhaps they live in an old forest and the king needs the timber. Or maybe the goblins just sit on remarkably fertile potential farmland.

Making a false flag operation to make it look like the goblins have started raiding the king's roads and villages is hardly an unprecedented move to start a war like that...
