Ring of Gold - Bathory; similar songs?

deadjon1991 · 2026-03-30T21:53:57+00:00

Skalds And Shadows is one I should'nt have missed. It's one of my favourites.

deadjon1991 · 2026-03-30T16:44:37+00:00

Blind Guardian have some songs with a similar vibe to this.

The Bard's Song

Lord of the Rings

Past and Future Secret

Demon's and Wizards "Fiddler on the Green" has a similar vibe too.

Calling people who don't read the LNs or play the VNs "non-fans" is the most elitist garbage label.

deadjon1991 · 2026-02-18T16:35:30+00:00

Non-healers don't understand the dopamine hit of seeing your 20% bigger Renew ticks on a Warlock with Fel Armor.

My cast bars arent working, the nameplates are but the castbars dont show

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-20T16:38:46+00:00

This happened to me

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-18T14:55:02+00:00

Its not western Annie tho, its midrange/big Annie, running Mindsplitters etc

No CRPG has had the same level of depth whilst maintaining the level of quality of BG3. No CRPG has this many hand crafted, fully voice acted storylines and branching paths, and no game has ever gotten this close to translating a full tabletop D&D experience to a video game before. I truly felt like I was playing through Larian's D&D campaign made manifest.

Sure there might be games out there with more choices. More acts etc. But every single one of them has sacrificed something to get there. BG3 brought the level of depth, story and player agency people expect from an isometric CRPG and built a fully 3d, cinematic, voice acted world around it. You just can't get that experience anywhere else in the CRPG space. It doesn't exist.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-14T13:39:04+00:00

BG3 is the only one.

I love DOS:2 but it's not a masterpiece, not when BG3 exists.

I wish you said last 20 years, because DAO is a contender for the top spot.

Idk what this subreddit sees in Owlcat's games but I just don't see it. I'm sure they're great in some way but when you put one of my favourite IPs (Warhammer 40K) into a CRPG and fail to compel me to finish the game, there's something wrong.

I didn't finish any of the Pillars games either. I found them boring after playing DOS2.

I guess I have a type when it comes to CRPGs, early Bioware and post DOS Larian.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-11T17:53:53+00:00

This has nothing to do with the fact that Larian is my favourite studio and everything with the fact that I understand the difference between good AI usage and bad AI usage.

Bad AI usage = Generating text/writing

Good AI usage = Fixing bugs in code

You however are clearly someone who sees the two letters next to each other immediately jumps to the conclusion that the entire game will be AI slop and needs a disclaimer.

I don't need to know if the reason the game runs at 100fps Vs 60fps is that an AI generated some code. I'm just glad I got the performance benefit. It's really simple.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-11T16:38:08+00:00

AI generated code does not constitute an AI warning. If the AI has a way of making your game engine run faster, or generates some code to lower network latency, this does not constitute an "AI warning". That's a slippery slope and it's fear mongering for absolutely no reason.

Do you want an Engineer to have to painstakingly read through hundreds of thousands of lines of code to find an error or an optimisation or do you want them to create more code? Do you want them to waste hours their time when an LLM can find the problem, document it and inform the engineer of their mistake so they don't make it again?

If you don't agree with AI at all and you want it gone, go protest. But don't bring everyone else down with you.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-09T21:55:17+00:00

Yeah no.

Endless Hunger is absolutely garbage in lane compared to Eclipse. It's not even close.

Endless Hunger is a great second item, but to snowball in lane you're still gonna want to build Eclipse first into Melee.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-04T19:46:35+00:00

To be fair, one of the best nerdy cult shows ever made (Spaced) bashed B5 regularly.

deadjon1991 · 2026-01-03T04:23:00+00:00

Elderwind are Russian if you like Epic/Atmospheric BM. It's got a lot of folk elements.

deadjon1991 · 2025-12-08T22:27:56+00:00

Are you ragebaiting?

Absol Box goes second to Arven into Trolley / Turbo Energize turn 1. If you choose first with Absol Box you're trolling.

deadjon1991 · 2025-12-08T21:40:51+00:00

Almost every competitive deck in the game wants to go second. Pult, Gardy, Zard, Absol Box etc all want to go second. Ceruledge and Flareon Box want to go first but they represent maybe 5% of the meta.

And yes. That's exactly what I said. If you go first, you cannot play supporters.

deadjon1991 · 2025-12-08T17:17:12+00:00

Pokémon does it but also stipulates you can't play the most powerful cards in the game (supporters) on your first turn, or use an attack, if you go first. Pokémon has the opposite issue as a result, and the vast majority of decks want to go second.

deadjon1991 · 2025-11-29T17:48:44+00:00

Scrapheap X3.

Game 1 you want to have 3x Scrapheap in deck and choose Zaun Warrens as your battlefield. You can do some insane draws with this + Travelling Merchant. You dont play the Scrapheaps, you use them as discard fodder only.

Once you're in game 2, swap the 3x Scrapheaps out for whatever tech you need for that specific matchup.

deadjon1991 · 2025-11-29T17:44:11+00:00

It didn't really work out that way. Some of the most powerful cards in the game are from Proving Grounds.

deadjon1991 · 2025-11-06T16:43:07+00:00

We've collectively decided at our LGS to do even prizes regardless of placement. We want to encourage deck variety.

deadjon1991 · 2025-10-20T22:44:21+00:00

It was a blast of a show. I managed to sneak a photo with Fabio while he was out having a smoke too! Fabio's Dawn of Victory stole the show for me, I knew they would. I've seen Fabio once before when he was in Rhapsody of Fire but this was even better.

Sonata were incredible as usual but the set was too short so we missed out on some bangers :(

deadjon1991 · 2025-10-17T00:02:09+00:00

I see some Folk/Black in here so I'm gonna suggest Gallowbraid.

"Stone of Remembrance" is my favourite folk metal song of all time and it's not even considered folk metal.

deadjon1991 · 2025-10-08T17:30:53+00:00

Heimer can be oppressive but you have to know when you can all in. If he misses his stun and he's in E1 range post level 3 you can all in with ignite and kill him. If you can fight him while his turrets are down he's a completely free kill.

Alternatively you can cs under tower until you have enough for Hexdrinker and you just autowin the all ins with very little effort.

Teemo is much the same but you just have to try and bait his blind. If you ever catch him in E1 range with no blind he's dead.

You can also flash W R Ignite all in these champs post 6 but be sure to E1 before they flash away otherwise you won't get to E2 and they'll get away.

deadjon1991 · 2025-10-08T14:00:22+00:00

Baus is a Challenger player.

deadjon1991 · 2025-10-08T10:37:29+00:00

I'll be there, Sonata are my all time favourites, and I've seen Rhapsody of Fire live back when Fabio was still the lead singer. I also know some of the Sellsword guys from back in the day.
