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 1 week 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.

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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

- Comment on Kotaku being Kotaku 2 months ago:
Children deserve better movies than this soulless green-screened cash grab.
They also deserve better games than Minecraft IMO, but that’s a different conversation.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 2 months ago:
Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that’s a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)

I haven’t gotten to try it yet, but I hear Dread Delusion has a lot of Morrowind’s visual style and weirdness, if not quite the same gameplay.

- Comment on [Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? 5 months ago:
I’m hooked on Marvel’s Midnight Suns right now. It’s a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I’d say it’s at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.
- Comment on Ignoring the movies, Josie and the Pussycats were a way better cartoon band than Jem and the Holograms 5 months ago:
Neither of them compare to The Neptunes. They had a fucking shark on the drums.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 6 months ago:
This is utter hogshit, but also seems relatively easy to work around. “I am legally forbidden from sharing my opinions on the quality of Marvel Rivals.” is a pretty clear and succinct review that technically flies under their legal fuckery.

- Comment on Wgen you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be? 6 months ago:
Some generous billionaire could come along one day and pay off huge medical debts for patients, on a whim.
Go on then, pull the other one.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 6 months ago:
Just picked up Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins. Maybe 6 hours in… Never heard of it when it came out. It seems like a pretty great fusion of Nioh minus the stances, and one of the more actiony FFs so far. The story is… there. It seems to be heavily based on FF1 so far, so I’m not expecting much. The rest of the game is fun and batshit crazy enough to make up for it.

Ah, but what of the feet? Even if you need both feet for one job, that’s still another dick or two.
- Comment on Any good fiction/story driven books with life lessons for men in their 30's? 8 months ago:
Replay by Ken Grimwood.
A man dies in 1988 and walks back up as himself in the 60s, but with current memories.
I think people can probably take different things from this book, but one thing I got out of it was an appreciation for the fact that I very likely wouldn’t have any of the things I treasure in life, had some of my tragedies not adjusted my course.
Even if you could go back and “do things right”, you’re a different person with all your future experiences. What if in trying to fix the past, you lost something you couldn’t live without?

Faster shitting, but more to clean. Wonder if it would be more or less efficient.
- Comment on 80s movies 8 months ago:
Happy Days, The Love Boat, and Dynasty were some of the shows ge joined that got him the title. Also the Revenge of the Nerds movies. He was in the first one, then came back for the shark jumping in 3 and 4.
Interestingly, McGinley isn’t always the reason for the shark jump. Sometimes he’s fine, like you pointed out with Married With Children. He just gas a knack for joining series later in their production, as they’re turning to shit.

Patron saint of jumping the shark.

- Comment on Why is 2010s movie Star Trek called the Kelvin timeline? 9 months ago:
So the timeline of the new Trek movies starts with the villain Nero going back in time. When he gets there, he destroys a ship called the USS Kelvin. That ship was not destroyed in the original Star Trek timeline, so the new timeline is called that because the Kelvin’s destruction was the first major point of divergence that lead to the other changes in that timeline
- Comment on $5 is a steal 9 months ago:
It smells wrong. I mean, the megatron doesn’t say “Urban free-wheelers”, it says “Sofa masturbaters”, you know?
