How necessary is the DLC?

in my playthrough, the main game was amazing and the DLC so far is very iffy

AriaOfBolo posted...

man she just kept being like "oh I kinda suck huh" and then repeating her mistakes until everything was fine, but the rest I can agree with!

well emma's lowest moment is where she destroys the lower class woman on their day out

after that she legitimately does try to make amends, stop meddling, visit her, and the like!

Emma: Beated! Ending kinda lost me, feel like we were in the middle of everything going terribly and then they all lived happily ever after suddenly. Harriet in particular I feel like we almost forgot about, and she was my favorite character.

it's a really clever ending imo. jane austen is weirdly like a mystery - the "clues" are there earlier

the awfulness is also largely emma's own doing and poor character/manners, so her introspection and penance i think are pretty reasonably earned!

glad you're finally at chrono trigger!

moving into part two

not sure what story is left to tell, or if jacopo continued to be our POV - we'll see

HEART
REMIT
MERIT

AHHH why

also used your second-to-last word, lol

rocky can absorb punches to the head without getting ko'd but dk could just grab his arm and ragdoll him. can't win when you can't punch (or even set your feet)

episode 1 was surprisingly good. the limited scope means the highs will inevitably be a lot lower. but so far i love the main cast (viserys, rhaenyra, and daemon)

the editing style is even more cinematic than GoT's, especially more than those early seasons of GoT. show is going to rely pretty heavily on that "film-like" quality over just writing, which makes me excited for spectacle but very worried for its actual quality a

daemon getting unhorsed was a pretty thrilling action sequence but cutting it with childbirth was distractingly artsy

so yeah i can't help myself from getting a little hype. going to try to be very measured though given how the past has gone, Woodbury when they leaned into spectacle over writing before

yeah i'll throw my hat into the ring at 29:71

sound of her wings was okay for me i enjoyed hob a lot more, but it was the 24 hours episode that i loved most

sounds like a fascinating concept, but i feel warned off of this for sure

out of curiosity does it cause any formatting issues to simply hide everything behind a spoiler bar?

my partner and i absolutely loved overcooked 2. by god it was stressful though!

happy birthday!

is the bonus episode also on netflix?

first person feels like a no-go for me!

aria of sorrow is definitely accessible - shortish and not overly difficult either

might have portrait of ruin higher as an entry point though?

mmo junkie sounds interesting, at least as a concept

resident evil 4 is one of the only games of its kind i've played and i absolutely loved it. the aesthetic, the feel, and the quick pace were all great

The real worst meme is NPC meme.

Anybody who has ever used it is too dumb to realize that they are the actual type of person the meme is meant to criticize.

not familiar with this one, explanation?

this topic may have inspired me to finally watch aggretsuko - the death metal does seem grating but the anime sounds fun

24. Mysterium

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/181304/mysterium

Category: Cooperative
Key mechanics: Clue-giving
Rules complexity (0 to 7): 2
Game length: 40-50 minutes
First played: 2015
Experience: 8-12 plays with 3-7 players

In Mysterium, one player is a Ghost, giving clues to the other players - paranormal investigators - about the circumstances of their death. They do this over the course of seven rounds by handing out vision cards to each investigator corresponding (in order) to that investigator's suspect, location, and murder weapon. If each player manages to solve all three of these stages in the seven rounds, there is a do-or-die bonus round for the win.

Like many of the games that lean more toward the party-game focus, Mysterium has questionable "game-iness" credentials, or at least tightness of rules. The ravens that a ghost can use to clear their hand, the re-draw rules, and the rules on discussion all lean more toward "just do stuff" than toward planned rules. A limited deck of suspects and dreams also can result in some similarities game-to-game. There are even different rules between the original Polish edition of the game and the American edition, which adds some bizarre competitive betting that we've never used.

But that doesn't particularly take away from the fun of Mysterium. Perhaps my favorite game of Mysterium involved only four players - one ghost and three guessers, each playing two spirit mediums. One of the reasons I say that Mysterium is so loose is that the majority of the fun in Mysterium doesn't come from player decisions or interaction or gameplay or even the art - instead, it's really just the loosely structured player interaction that results from it. Yeah, you're not allowed to read the Ghost's face, but it's just naturally kind of fun when someone gets a dream of a bear's skin floating like a cape, and then people can't decide whether that means the murderer is someone who kills animals or if they just have a lot of hair like a bear, and it's even funnier if you trash talk the other players during this.

Mysterium can also flop. There are times when people won't talk very much, or people will be weirdly uncooperative, or the ghost will take too long. It really relies on people having the tacit agreement to have a good time. And when that happens, it sings.

MAL down so i can't look at the pics for these

i remember there was a lot of hype about kara no kyoukai at some point on b8, but most of those people also liked tsukihime so i mostly wrote it off

Wordle 424 3/6





been a while since i got one in under 4!

this discussion of solitaire sports has me thinking a lot about the indirect interaction in board games

lack of physical aspect has me leaning no.

the way jimmy reacted to that was the beginning of his relationship with kim truly turning toxic

forgotten by some (like me), but part of the reason kim suggesting that she and jimmy get married came as such a shock was because they'd actually been growing apart through all of season 4, with jimmy steadfastly refusing to address chuck's death and culminating in that crocodile tears moment with the bar hearing

wexler vs goodman and the cartel drama and the subsequent howard prank actually revitalize their relationship, but obviously in a much more negative way

before that, they actually did have a real relationship

oh, and i know this is just me talking to myself now, but saul acknowledging his culpability in chuck's death landed harder than "i watched jane die." those two moments have a lot of parallels, since they were moments that no one else knew about, yet in some ways the single intentionally cruelest things that the two people did. walt's turning into just an offhand comment (albeit to hurt jesse) isn't nearly as satisfying as the moment where it comes out for saul imo.

i'm fucking dying

that was deeply satisfying to watch

whew lads

oh, yeah, no pants is a definite pass for me

oh hey i've at least heard of violet evergarden. didn't winf up watching it precisely because i thought the past premise felt overwrought, even though the present storyline seemed interesting

in general if seasons are distinct then i'm much more apt to give high rankings to shows with really good stretches, since i can remember those good moments, even if (usually later) parts are iffier - there have been a few where you said the second halves really dragged them down

i'm thinking of stuff like trigun, where the second half and final arc were like, okay, but really when i think of my love of the series, it's all tilted toward the first half

not sure we needed barnier to have that long of a dating monologue as his throat was literally already cut and he was in the process of being beheaded lmao

or ceren as a character at all

but, this part is at least well paced!

thank god the brothel attack has finally happened. jacopo thirsting over the 11yo was killing me

understandable! and this will continue very soon...!

what that meme is great

yeah i kinda love this one and most prequel memes for that matter

i didn't particularly like the first season of the wire, the only one i watched

sopranos is pretty great for a few seasons

PrivateBiscuit1 posted...

This is tragic, but I don't know that excuses doing a bunch of coke, getting into a car and causing an accident and fleeing that accident and ramming into someone's home which almost killed their pets, but burned everything they owned and leaving them with nothing.

no, it certainly doesn't excuse what she did, not my intent to imply that it did. just that "drugs are bad" doesn't really seem like the underlying message here.

Hopefully it helps even remotely in making people realize how awful cocaine is.

apparently she was raped by her father through childhood dating back to infancy

which is not to say that cocaine isn't awful, but that really buries the lede about this person's troubles

It can be funny when actually used correctly but that is like maybe 5% of the time.

i'm with you here

i actually completely did not get it, even though i kept seeing it places

and then the context for it kind of dawned on me when those occasions happened, and now i find it a pretty reasonable template, even though it's often used poorly

had never read the comic, which is apparently one of the greats

liked it decently overall, though it had one episode that really blew me away

Football posted...

Every single time someone praises him or in general likes him I immediately dont take their basketball opinion as seriously

I believe this to be the majority opinion amongst OKC

i haven't forgiven patbev for that. guy is a huge asshole.

yeah. it wasn't just KD either. OKC overall just seemed bigger, stronger, more athletic at every part of the game that mattered.

frustrating that the spurs couldn't manage to get a fair shot at GSW in 2015 or 2016 (and admittedly they blew their leads vs the clippers and OKC). i don't think they were beating GSW anyway in 2017, but surely we deserved better than that.
