Nice. I boil mine in milk (almond milk these days), then add dried cranberries, toasted chopped pecans, and maple syrup.

Just played through the demo, and I think the gameplay is fun and entertaining, but I agree. It’s not that they’re physically hard to read - you can right click on the cards and blow them up big - but the language is imprecise and unclear in places. It’s not always obvious what a card does or what specific abilities do, even with the tooltips. I did wishlist it, but I’ll wait until it’s on sale or in a bundle.

Happy to donate a little bit!

Congratulations and good work! Thanks for all your efforts.

D’oh! Somehow I didn’t log into lemmy in over a month and totally missed this. Sorry to waste your time and I hope the person who did win is very happy.

“In Tartarus” - The Night Eternal

Elden Ring. I’ve never really played a souls game, and it looks really great.

Not a lot of joy this year, got laid off last year and now find myself in a job where I’m making less and commuting more, but there were a couple of bright spots. I’ve been running a D&D game set in Mythic Greece, and it’s been the best TTRPG I’ve run or played in years - my players have been absolutely loving it. Plus, I recently spoke to a retirement advisor and found that I’m in very good shape to retire in 10 years, and that makes me very happy.

Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!

In Enderal (an absolutely amazing, totally free game that runs on the Skyrim engine - if you own Skyrim you owe it to yourself to play Enderal), at the end of Esme’s questline, sitting on top of the lighthouse and discussing the events of her story.

Gods yes. What a brilliant piece of writing that DLC was - simultaneously hilarious and deeply poignant.

Can’t log in or view the site with liftoff, sadly.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

I have a Greenpan 10?-inch skillet that I really like and use a lot. I’ve had it for several years - pretty sure I bought it before the start of the pandemic, so it’s definitely seen plenty of action. On the stove I primarily use cast iron, but for fish and eggs I break out the ceramic non-stick. It works great for those applications and I really like it. That said, it has started to develop one spot along the side where the coating is wearing off. I actually suspect that was my fault for letting something burn onto it and not cleaning it right away. It any case, I still use it and it still works great on the bottom of the pan, just need to avoid that one spot. I give it a thumbs-up.

Saw it last night, mostly agree with this take on it, though in a bit less glowing terms. I didn’t think the emotional payoff alluded to in this review really worked, because I didn’t think they’d laid enough groundwork for it. Too much of this movie was more storyboard than story, with not enough time spent on actually delving into these characters’ feelings and relationships. That said, it was definitely a fun popcorn flick, with some great action, a good sense of humor, fun characters, and, as the article points out, minimal required external knowledge. And everything said about the publicity was spot on.

Yes, from the poster for the movie “Stripes”.

Glib (though truthful) answers aside, I thought this was a good read. Thank you for posting it.

After finishing a playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3, I’m now on Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Fun, but nowhere near as good as the original Tiny Tina DLC for BL2. Still, I’m 26 hours in and I’ll definitely finish it. After that… maybe I’ll go back and do a different run of BG3. I’m looking forward to getting back to CP2077 and picking up Phantom Liberty, but I’m going to wait for that to be on some sort of sale.

Played Outer Worlds earlier this year, and I agree with your assessment. I did play Fallout New Vegas later on, and while New Vegas felt bigger, I think I enjoyed Outer Worlds a bit more. Mainly I think the humor hit more consistently FOR ME in OW, and I really think the humor kind of makes the game. But of course humor is very subjective, so I understand why a lot of people prefer FNV (not to mention it has a certain built-in cachet from all the other Fallout games).

Anyway, I enjoyed it, I’m glad I played it through to the end, but I wouldn’t play it again (e.g. to try different playstyles or run through with different companions). Glad you are also enjoying it!

Still playing BG3. About 120 hours in, still my first playthrough, but I think I’m getting close to the end. Wouldn’t be surprised if it takes me another 15-20 hours to get there though. After that I need to decide if I want to play through again with different characters/choices, or do something else first (recently got Tiny Tina in a bundle and looking forward to playing that).

Saw them perform just a couple months ago after having not seem them in over a decade. They put on an AMAZING show. So much fun, such incredible energy, and they’ve really taken their live performance to the next level. I highly recommend catching them on tour if they ever come near you.

YOU GET A HEADSHOT, AND YOU GET A HEADSHOT!
