Playing as Emily in 2 is really fun. You have the option to ignore stealth, go all out with your powers, and still not kill anyone.

PlayStation is probably going to still have exclusives, or at least timed exclusives, driving some sales. But this announcement may be the final nail in Xbox’s coffin.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and mouse heavy games hurt, but playing with a controller is great. If this can easily replace a mouse and keyboard setup then I’ll be playing with it a lot, and those track pads are a big reason why.

They’re also good for emulating certain consoles with quirky controllers, like the N64.

It’s a 3e base, but very simplified. It’s more like 5e with extra feats and the old fortitude/reflex/will save system added on.

When they do the reveal there’s a cinematic that shows all the unavoidable foreshadowing that you didn’t notice. It goes on for a full two minutes and is only a fraction of all the foreshadowing to that point since so much is in optional dialogue. Took me completely by surprise the first time and for years I would find another bit of foreshadowing tucked away in areas of dialogue trees I hadn’t gone down before each time I played.

IIRC, a horse can output more than one horsepower in bursts, but can sustain one horsepower all day.

You should try chicken, tomato, jalapeno, and pineapple on a pizza.

The first Red Angel was Burnham’s mom. The second Red Angel was Burnham, because of-fucking-course it was.

Narnia and Dune are so up-front about their messages that after a couple books it stops being subtext and just becomes text, so they’re technically correct there.

Cheap to duplicate is great for them. That means larger profit margins.

Gameplay-wise, Rogue is even better than Black Flag. Narratively, Rogue is a disaster fueled by Shay being painfully stupid.

Like Bruce in Batman Beyond. Typically he was on comms helping Terry be Batman, but it was always memorable when he went into the field.

I once had someone flip me off because I put my turn signal on. We were in the right lane, I was turning right, and the left lane was completely empty.

I’d point out that ‘an observation event’ is just hitting one thing with another thing, which is always going to have some kind of effect. And wave-particle duality is probably more of a spectrum than we give it credit for. Particles vibrate constantly and can be easily made to do wave-like things, like resonance. Collapsing a waveform into a particle may be less of a mode or type change and more like putting your finger on a resonating tuning fork.

Yes. The pupils were generally only visible in the pre-rendered videos.

That the Jedi Council is incredibly hubristic and far less aligned with the light side than they think is a major theme of the prequel era.

Jon doesn’t go back to the Watch in the finale. He gets exiled to the Watch again, but immediately goes AWOL to join the free folk.

Cincinnatus was actually cool. Rome’s neighbors violated a peace treaty and tried to invade them. They called up Cincinnatus, a retired general, and gave him full dictatorial power. He resolved the situation in two weeks, abdicated all of his powers on day fifteen, and went back to his farm. Then he did it a second time when someone tried to end the republic and make themself a king.

Someone like Crassus would be a more appropriate Roman to reference.

He actually did that. Part of the reason Miles Morales was created is that Peter had started a business and actually started making money, which made him less of an everyman.

Now I want to play Plague Inc…
