Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?
  • It's really good. I think it's on the PSN store now if you have a PS4/5. It's a greek mythology-inspired take on the same gameplay, except it's one large map that you unlock in bits kind of Metroidvania-style. Has this unique death mechanic where the first several deaths don't count... if you can fight your way out of Hades.

  • Challenge accepted. Does anyone recognize Llamatron: 2112? I played it on Amiga, but I think it was also on Atari and DOS.

    It was an acid trip "llamas are funny" parody of Robotron: 2084, and it was a fuckin' BLAST!

  • Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a masterpiece. It had somewhat similar gameplay, graphics and humor to one of my other favorites that I've never seen mentioned - Herc's Adventures on PSX. Not sure if they were the same studio or something?

    Edit: So I looked it up, and yeah, both made by LucasArts within a few years, so likely the same team or at least a lot of crossover.

  • If I repent of anything... by Henry David Thoreau
  • The alignment chart has two axes. Regret not being Chaotic enough, but don't ever regret being Good.

  • I don't know how to say this to you...
  • ...ain't nothin to fuck with?

  • Mark Zuckerberg just dropped a single with T-Pain
  • This just hurts my opinion of T-Pain.

  • Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    It's one of those games I love but haven't actually finished because I always want to try a new character. Pushing myself to stick with one to the end this time. I got the season pass 2, and there's a recent DLC that sounds like the local equivalent of Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC.

  • I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard
  • DS3 and Elden ring do magic best of the Fromsoft game IMO. An MP pool works much better in an action game than the Vancian "casts per rest" of the earlier games.

  • I just bought a brand new belt, and it doesn't fit.
  • I made a belt out of old watches once. Waist of time.

  • City puts $10,000 bounty of trans people’s heads if they use a public restroom
  • Shit on the floor. Time to get schwifty in here.

  • Comedian from 'Anchorman' and 'Mr. Show' sentenced in Jan. 6 Capitol attack
  • It's a shame he ended up being such a turd. The Story of Everest sketch in Mr Show is a masterpiece of physical comedy.

  • Was the FF black mage the first to do this?
  • Digimon: "We have eyes-only wizard at home."

  • The Hunt For Gollum Won’t Be Two Films, But A Second LOTR Film Is Incoming, Philippa Boyens Confirms
  • Look, either make "Ken Burns' The Silmarillion" already or let the franchise rest.

  • TV that doesn't require 'on-line activation' to set up.
  • I haven't gotten my shit together and researched specific models yet, but I've been looking into this a bit myself, and from what I've read, Sceptre appears to be one of the better brands for completely dumb TVs these days.

  • Now I want one
  • They make loosely braided weighted blankets. They won't be as cool as this, but they allow for plenty of weight while still maintaining good airflow. And a far lower risk of scrotum/labia/nipple tragedy.

  • There are only two types of Bad Star Trek Episodes
  • Where is TNG "Masks"? Sorry Brent, but that's gonna be a skip from me every time.

  • Damn, Starfleet. That's just racist.
  • That is why I decline the title of Iron Cook and accept only the lesser title of "Zinc Saucier", which I just made up. Also, it comes with double prize money.

  • Highly illogical and dangerous
  • That tracks. It does seem like there could have been a list of "213 things Curzon Dax is no longer allowed to do in Federation space", a la Skippy's List.

  • Several Florida jails and prisons refuse to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Milton
  • "Pleased to meet ya Lloyd! Hope you guessed my name."

  • They call themselves the... Guardians of the Sword Coast.

    I've been playing the Guardians of the Galaxy game lately, and after realizing how similar Lae'zel and Gamora are, I know I have to reinstall BG3 for a Guardians playthrough.

    STARRING...

    • Tav as Petyr O'Quill, a.k.a. BARD-LORD - Half-elf, dual crossbows, high Cha/low Int. Torn between Lore for Cutting Words, or Swords for more pew pew.
    • Lae'zel as Gamora, the deadliest woman in the galaxy Sword Coast - All I really need here is modding her an emo haircut.
    • Astarion as Rocket - They're both foul-mouthed and quick to anger. Their backstories actually have a lot of thematic similarity, being twisted into someone else's weapon. Probably a Sorc to accommodate Rocket's love of explosions, unless the Artificer mod is any good. Could have Shovel as a stand-in for Groot? I may try to mod him into a gnome so that he too is small and adorable.

    AND MAYBE...?

    That leaves one party slot, which I see going one of two ways:

    • Karlach/Minsc as Drax the Destroyer - Big, gullible, excitable, destroys stuff.
    • Minthara as Nebula - I feel like she'd have the same vibe in a good party. Dragging her around with the misfits I'm turning into begrudging heroes might make for great banter.

    Suggestions on builds/mods/things to do for maximum chaos and therefor fun? Stories of your own weird themed parties? Arguments about my awful flarking decisions?

    Algal the Bard with Hildegard von Blingin' - Dust in the Wind (Bardcore)

    Not to flood the community, but several people seemed to like the last one. So here's another taste of bardcore, this time a collab from two of the greats.

    1
    Hildegard von Blingin' - Hurt (Bardcore)

    I fuckin' love bardcore, and Hildy is the godsdamned QUEEN!

    A haunting medieval style cover of NIN's classic, Hildegard's version seems to tell the tale of a regretful immortal crushed under the weight of outliving everyone they connect with.

    And a question for the comments, any interest in a possible c/bardcore community? Or is there one my search missed?

    Deep Into Undermountain (to the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountains)

    I read the lyrics for this on reddit a few years back, and just learned there was a recording. Would be great for for a bard doing an adventure at the Yawning Portal.

    Bill Withers' song "Ain't No Sunshine" could be interpreted as Hades and/or Demeter singing about Persephone.

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

    It's not warm when she's away

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

    And she's always gone too long

    Anytime she goes away

    What are some good sketch comedy shows?

    One of my favorite genres, always looking for more. Bonus points if it's currently on streaming.

    I've watched the absolute hell out of That Mitchell and Webb Look, Kids in the Hall, Whitest Kids U Know, and obviously SNL and MadTV but both of those had a lot of ups and downs.

    I saw the one season each that Astronomy Club and The Moth Effect had and they were both pretty good. I've seen some A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but can't find a good place to stream it. TripTank was basically a sketch show with cartoons, and I liked that a lot too.

    I haven't tried these, but someone mentioned them the other day as being fantastic. I was looking for another good CRPG after I finish my current Pathfinder WotR run so I wishlisted the bundle, and apparently had great timing.

    TAS 1x05, immediately thought of those celebrity name rhymes they did in Community.

    Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods?

    I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven't touched the series beyond that, and haven't even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years.

    How would you rate 4 in comparison? I noticed it was on sale in the Switch eShop, and I'd love to have one of the series to play on the go.

    What I loved about the ones I played:

    • Story had a good balance of comedy and heart
    • Flexible and fun character building, with decent enough defined classes to get you started
    • Tons of post-game/side content (I didn't like every piece of it, but I liked how much there was to try.)
    • CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH
    • Perfect geochains, though I was usually too smoothbrain for it.

    What I didn't like:

    • Item world, IIRC worse in 1 than 2?
    • Adell's siblings
    • Demon court thing?

    Are there any "diegetic musicals"?

    For those unfamiliar with the term "diegetic music", it refers to music that's actually played in the story rather than just for the benefit of the audience. The characters can hear it too.

    With that in mind, are there any musicals where the characters acknowledge that they're constantly breaking into song? Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More with Feeling" is the best example I can think of for this.

    The opposite of "Ladies and Gentlemen" would be "Whores and Scoundrels".

    Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you'd open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
