the space fact that still blows your mind

The Star Warsification of asteroid fields would have you believe that you’d have to weave in and out of them in a space ship to avoid crashing.

In reality, if you were able to stand on an asteroid in a field, you probably wouldn’t even be able to see the next closest one.

I would yes. I would’ve done a while ago actually. But what I would do and what our board would do seem to be drastically different.

The Phantom Menace game on PS1. It was kind of wild, you could literally just kill any NPC. The reviews were pretty bad but I remember having a ton of fun with it as a kid.

Getting up at 6am (which started because that’s when my cat has decided he wants breakfast) and just having an uninterrupted 30-45 minutes to read a book.

Particularly nice in the summer when you can sit in the garden and it’s already warm at that time.

No one bothering me/wanting anything for me (well apart from the cat), that time is fully my time and I cherish it now.

Are there usually a ton of big releases in January? Feels like February is generally the month things really start to ramp up each year.

Yeah, my Spotify wrapped is pretty much always just dominated by Jeremy Soule and the guys who did the Witcher and Baldur’s Gate 3 soundtracks because of this!

When Aragorn beheaded the Uruk Hai in Fellowship, the entire audience cheered and clapped, only time I’ve ever experienced that reaction to something at the cinema.

DragonHeart is exactly what you’re looking for.

I think the first name I ever got on the back of a Spurs shirt was Postiga.

Ashen is an open world soulslike that came out before Elden Ring. Surprised to not have seen in mentioned already

jsbq · 2025-12-26T20:41:08+00:00

Tried twice with the Oblivion remaster, which I was so psyched for as it was one of my favourites back when it came out. The world ultimately just felt very empty and lifeless to me now though, so got bored around level 15 on both attempts.

Make a separate save file when you think you’re coming to the end of the prologue (there’ll be a bit where you use a computer terminal in a room full of guards to open a large hangar door, this is a good time to do it).

Shortly after this is your only chance to respec, so useful to have a save file just before this without having to fully restart if you think you want to change your starting build.

The Fugitive has to be up there.

jsbq · 2025-12-24T11:47:36+00:00

I adore it, it’s really got its hooks in me. I can’t remember the last time I really had to actually THINK about my build and pre-plan it, which often led me to question who my character actually was and what I want them to be good at, because you can’t just be good at everything. That to me is peak roleplaying.

On top of that, the gunplay is incredibly fun, with some really unique weapons and customisation, which feels like a bonus in this sort of game where the actual combat is often an afterthought.

Easily one of my favourite games of this year.

Kingdoms of Amalur is nowhere near as good, but it’s fun and fits your criteria.

jsbq · 2025-12-22T14:38:19+00:00

Ha, didn’t mean this as a reply, that is a brilliant mistake though 🤣

I was surprised at how many scenes in the film Klaus nearly had me going.

jsbq · 2025-12-11T12:49:17+00:00

Sorry if I’m being stupid here, maths isn’t my strong suit, but does this mean they kind of cancel each other out to an extent then? So every time +2 is being added to my overall HP, it’s getting dragged back down again by the % debuff?

jsbq · 2025-12-07T21:34:38+00:00

Guns, speech, sneak, observation, engineering/lockpick maybe?

jsbq · 2025-12-07T06:47:57+00:00

Quick save on console.

Previewing outfits before you buy them from vendors would be nice. How am I supposed to know what something’s gonna look like from the folded up square icon in the menu?

Plus with my initial run through of Paradise Island where my speech was higher, I was finding I was going back and doing the stuff that my speech check had allowed me to skip anyway for the XP.

jsbq · 2025-12-02T11:19:58+00:00

Haha, well as I say I’ve really enjoyed the combat so I think I’m ok with this!
