- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 days ago:
Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that’s going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I’m getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven’t had to delve into the command line at all yet.

I saw that one thrown around when I was searching before. I wouldn’t really be playing it for the story, but as long as the story’s there, should I be familiar with the first two?

You probably want a dedicated game, but I have a lot of fun with Dragon Kart in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

There’s so much I want to like about Warframe, but last time I tried it I couldn’t get any sense of what a new player’s supposed to do to start progressing, or to get the story in a comprehensible way. The build timers also made me sad. I got all the parts, just give me the Rhino.
Still though, “We All Lift Together” is a certified banger.

Ah, maybe that’s the missing ingredient. Pretty sure I don’t have that yet. I fucked off from the main story almost immediately to go find balloons and such.

Ooh, I wasn’t thinking of first-person games, but that does look pretty gnarly.

Oh damn, it’s descended from Hulk UD? I loved that game, definitely one that was on my mind for this type of game. I’ll certainly be checking this one out then.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that one, but I never got around to trying it. Sort of a grimdark/knockoff Venom version of Infamous, yeah?

- Comment on Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates. 5 days ago:
It’s not the intelligence I find as interesting as the formal education prior to villainy.

That episode is both one of my favorite pieces of Batman media ever, and also an excellent example of both a “lower decks” episode and a vignette episode. Absolute gem of the whole series.

Something about lobotomizing Jim Gordon and the Mayor to take over the city. His hideout would have to be an incredibly conspicuous pyramid in which he stores grain, so I guess the theme should lean into that.
“Dr. Pharaoh”, maybe? He dresses like a pharaoh but he has a surgeons mask, stethoscope, and that old timey mirror on a headband. He throws scalpels much like Batman does batarangs, and has goons dressed like Egyptian royal servants who carry him on a palanquin.

Good point. I suppose there are only so many Killer Crocs and Solomon Grundys you can have before he’s just abusing guys with learning disabilities.

Yep, Man-Bat is Kirk Langstrom. I wasn’t sure which name was more recognizable.

I feel like Bruce Wayne could save Batman a lot of work with the right investments in social programs…

WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.
- Comment on Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell 4 weeks ago:
That guy had at least three magic systems going at once. It was a lot.
There was sympathy, which was kind of like voodoo dolls? Sygildry or something which was programming with magic runes. And Naming, which I believe was like grokking something so well you could just command it to do whatever.

Yes! You get what I’m looking for exactly.

- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Guardians of the Galaxy. The gameplay could have been a bit better, but otherwise it was fantastic. Better than any of the movies except the end of 2.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 4 months ago:
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.
- Comment on There are only two types of Bad Star Trek Episodes 5 months ago:
Where is TNG “Masks”? Sorry Brent, but that’s gonna be a skip from me every time.
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 6 months ago:
That’s a fair assessment. There are a ridiculous number of classes and subclasses each with their own quirks. And that’s without getting into multiclassing or Wrath’s mythic path system. I’ve definitely spent 20+ minutes leveling up before.
Do you like JRPGs? Yakuza: Like a Dragon is fairly recent and has a sequel (that I haven’t gotten to play yet). The story is NOT your typical RPG fare, it’s a modern drama about an ex-gangster trying to get back on his feet after prison. But the combat is a classic turn-based RPG and it’s fun, stylish, and just barely complex enough to stay engaging.
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 6 months ago:
The graphics are much simpler than BG3, but Owlcat has done some fantastic work with their Pathfinder games.
Wrath of the Righteous is much more polished and expanded than Kingmaker, but they’re both great. They both have the option to play in turn-based like BG3, or real time with pause like the old BG games.
