- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 day ago:
Try to find the nearest shaman, apothecary or herbalist and trade my future clothes/pocket contents for some hallucinogens and painless poison. I ain’t living through a time before electricity.
- Comment on I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game 5 days ago:
If you liked BG3 and Divinity 2, I’m obligated to mention the Pathfinder games: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. The graphics are a touch simple, but the writing is great and the detailed character building scratches an itch for me. As far as I’m concerned, Owlcat is currently the only real competition Larian has.

If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

So then is Lilith a harpy or a succubus?
- Comment on "Cheers", but set in a fantasy tavern. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, animated is probably the way to go. Few sitcoms are going to get the budget for the costumes and makeup to not look dorky.

I guess he needs a courier buddy full of bad trivia.
You take your average dragon’s intestines and stretch ‘em out? You’re lookin’ at eh… three leagues and change.

Addendum: The local vintner who supplies the tavern is a genial bullywug named Jeremiah who no one quite understands.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous too.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 weeks ago:
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?
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 weeks ago:
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. 3 weeks ago:
It’s not the intelligence I find as interesting as the formal education prior to villainy.
- Comment on Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates. 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates. 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates. 3 weeks ago:
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 1 month 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.
