Where is TNG “Masks”? Sorry Brent, but that’s gonna be a skip from me every time.

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.

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.

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 (it gets emotional, I cried). But the combat is a classic turn-based RPG and it’s fun, stylish, and just barely complex enough to stay engaging.

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.

A winner is… me?! This is incredible!

Installing FF5 now because I love the early iteration of switchable classes, then I’ll loop back around and play them in order. So I guess I have the next 300-400 hours planned.

Thank you again CatZoomies, you’re my hero.

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.

To me, cooked onion is delicious and enhances most meals. Raw onion has an incredibly unpleasant crunch and ruins anything it’s in.

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.

Alex Trebek: Let’s just go with SPACE FLICKS for 800.

James Kirk: [buzzes in] Marta the Orion.

Alex Trebek: What?

James Kirk: Marta the Orion, Rayna Kapec, and Carol Marcus twice.

Alex Trebek: That’s space FLICKS, Captain Kirk.

Comrade! There are DOZENS of us!

Majel Barrett?

This is super cool of you!

I would absolutely love the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle, both for my own nostalgia and to introduce my wife to them. She’s only played X and XIV.

To accompany my entry, have a homemade FF4 meme:

Gathering materials does suck, yeah. Rarely an activity I enjoy in any game.

I can respect the opinion of wanting to skip the social parts, that’s definitely not for everyone.

Some of them I really like though, like Nico’s always doing these side-eyed references to movies without actually naming them (Pulp Fiction, The Room, etc.)

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.

Edit: Also Nico Minoru is a possible party member, and I fucking love Runaways.

Does this count?

Remember folks, you can’t spell Mark Hamill without Arkham.

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.

And would sometimes accuse chestnuts of being lazy?
