And that's just if you stick to the single player campaign. I don't know if any normal human is built to withstand the whiplash of going from Stardew Valley to a Call of Duty online lobby.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, where we remember and mourn our trans siblings who we have lost over the past year. This includes 21 deaths by suicide and 27 deaths by act of violence (that were reported, as transgender individuals often have their identities stripped from them in...

Was going through my physical media and discovered that I had I forgotten that, long ago, I had bought The Switcher (that is, The Witcher 3 for Nintendo Switch) so I played that last night until I passed out on the couch. Good times.

Yeah, I mean this is a problem with campaign expectations, not the game itself. I've played in and run games with all kinds of specific rules for what was or was not in play. Our college 3.5 D&D group had a character who always wanted to play a centaur. I was never in favor it, but she also had...

I mean, that is exactly what would happen in Dwarf Fortress too, only it'd be funnier

Dwarf Fortress sure is a weird game

I know that I played 1e at some point as a small child, but I have absolutely no memory of it outside of it happening. Mostly I was around 2nd edition because those were the books my older brother had and that was the edition they played, and I got to watch him and his friends play when I didn't...

I was a bit disappointed because I thought this thread would be talking about circus troupes as a framing device for an adventuring party. I did play in a game once where we were part of a circus troupe, and it was a lot of fun! Ironically, as a part of the setting we all had to play humans too

To be fair, in the video game it was basically their built-in excuse to have a "bullet time" button

As others have noted, the Mamoa recasting was absolutely a matter of correcting a massive casting mistake in the first place for something that Mamoa is actually an insanely good choice for (say what you will about the Minecraft movie, thank you I will it was dreadful, but it was also probably...

Oh man I forgot the Resident Evil movies; those were varying degrees of campy fun

The thing is, many of the most iconic pieces of the franchise, especially basically everything from 2015 (the giant video wall, the Reagan-themed diner, flying cars, the hoverboard, the sports almanac) are all from the second film. 1 definitely has its iconic moments, but 2 is almost unarguably...

If we're combining both TV and Movies we've actually got a lot of options. 1: Clue - This one feels obvious, it was very, very good. A classic. 2: D&D: Honor Among Thieves - This movie had everything going against it, and it ended up still being so damn good 3: Last of Us - Season 1 is...

I was recently flipping through one of the Shield Maidens sourcebooks (shoutout to @CleverNickName and @MongooseBella!) and remarking what a difference a quarter-century can make for a TTRPG company, as I recall sitting in a college dorm room flipping through my friend's copy of Quintessential...
