Tuvix was neither Tuvok nor Neelix. Discuss.

Having to sell yourself for money is what most people do every day, bruh. Every job I've ever had has been a major detriment to my physical and/or mental health, and was accepted only under threat of homelessness and starvation.

Hey GAMERZ, want a job where you can be forced to work long shifts with minimal time off and not get paid for months on end whenever the government shuts down because of some political posturing bullshit? Also you're legally prohibited from striking! RADICAL!

This image looks like the epitome of mid cable adventure shows. It has to air on TNT or USA, right?

Both MediEvil games on PS1. Yes they're kind of dated now, but I'll always have a soft spot for Sir Daniel Fortesque and his skeleton slapstick.

1977 or 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

I also choose this guy's moon crater.

Oh, I didn't even parse that you were naming the game in the title. I just read it as a description of the gif, lol.

Apparently this is the arcade version of Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. The Genesis version was a side-scroller.

I actually dig the chiptune Smooth Criminal.

Edit: Oh damn, cock-bot shows up at 8:25 and they're doing chiptune Beat It instead.

Here's the thing. You said a "bigfoot is a yeti."

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies yeti I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls bigfoot a yeti.

A TV with an OS and apps is not "simple". Simple is a screen that displays what I plug into it.

 

Obviously that means Gonzo plays Fonzie, breaks the jukebox worse when he hits it, then says something about "picking up chicks" and leaves with Camilla.

Kermit is probably Richie, Scooter is Potsie, and Fozzie is Ralph.

I haven't thought out the rest of the casting, but Ted McGinley should definitely come in as the token human to end out the bit.

 
 

I know a little about Orks and their weird group psychic thing where painting their ships red to go fast really makes them faster, and their tech only works because they think it should. But then I guess Orks aren't even in this game.

I get that it's a violent, black-vs-grey universe. I think it's the originator of the term grimdark? The emperor is some immortal Mr House asshole who's worshipped as a god, which powers some of their tech and protects them from chaos via his psyker shit? And he's kind of a fascist, but it's that or bloody chaos?

Rogue traders seem like somewhere between a privateer and a baron, plundering tithes in their castle-ships and acting as an arm of the Imperium in backwater space?

There are more wizards than I expected. Not sure if these mechanicus dudes are pulling "Temples of Syrinx" thing, or they know how the tech works but not why so they worship it? Or if it's actually machine spirits?

Anything super foundational that I'm missing?

 

Found this through the game Pistol Whip. God I love goofy power metal that doesn't take itself too seriously.

 

So far I've just been checking out free games to get a feel for the system, but it looks like I have a 3 month pass for Horizon+ ready to activate, so I can try some other stuff once I have an idea what to start with.

I've been having some fun with Ironstrike and War of Wizards so far. I like the concept of the virtual CCG in Cards & Tankards, though it does seem like it's going to try and bleed money like most "free" card battlers.

 

Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.

 

I played the first one of these a long, long time ago. Puzzle platformers where you rotate between characters with different abilities to guide them all to a goal. Reminded me a lot of The Lost Vikings, but traditional fantasy and less funny.

 

I understand there are novels and comics where they both make appearances after their shows, and maybe I read that Wesley is in Picard?

I'm familiar with none of that material, so I'm just curious, does going Pact of the Traveler or Pact of the Wormhole give better spacelock spells?

 

I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.

Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?

I see there's a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I'm also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?

 

I played 1-4 back in the day, but my memory of the details is pretty fuzzy. Something something Umbrella releases a new virus like iPhones every few years, something something, somehow Wesker returned.

Anyway, I hear 7 is kind of a soft reboot? Is that a good one to get back into the series with, and not have to know 12 games of plot?

And if 7 is good, does 8/Village follow directly from that without needing too much prior game knowledge?

 

Lowest price yet according to gg.deals.

I'd been waiting for this to drop under $30 so I could scratch my Shivering Isles itch without spending 6 hours installing mods first.
