Whatever Tom is, it's leagues beyond "wizard".

What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy? in c/[email protected]

Intricate character building with multi-class synergies. Is. My. Shiiiiiit!

Small wonder I love BG3 and Owlcat's Pathfinder games.

Legolas' song about Nimrodel is in the common meter, and thus can be sung to the tune of Gilligan's Island.

Edit: Or House of the Rising Sun, if you prefer.

Well they had to after Attenborough pointed out that the original name looked like "bang bus".

Oh, and Die Hard 1 and 3 for something in between those extremes (2 is meh, fight me).

I gotta suggest Wayne's World and Bill & Ted. Had a great time watching those with my dad as a kid.

For something more serious, I like Falling Down.

The line must be drawn here! This far, no fucking further!

Sometimes if I take too big a gulp of water at once, the little bone near my adam's apple clicks out of place and I have to manually reset it.

If you want to be super pedantic (and I do), time travel may not be necessary for the stormtroopers to work.

Star Wars is a long time ago (as of 1977), in a galaxy far away. A ship full of stormtroopers could have come through a wormhole to medieval Earth. Or depending on how long ago Star Wars is, could even have been cryogenically frozen, drifting towards Earth for ages.

His next opportunity for parole will be in February 2024.

Are we getting a re-do, then?

They call themselves the... Guardians of the Sword Coast. (self.baldurs_gate_3)

I've been playing the Guardians of the Galaxy game lately, and after realizing how similar Lae'zel and Gamora are, I know I have to reinstall BG3 for a Guardians playthrough.

STARRING...

Tav as Petyr O'Quill, a.k.a. BARD-LORD - Half-elf, dual crossbows, high Cha/low Int. Torn between Lore for Cutting Words, or Swords for more pew pew.
Lae'zel as Gamora, the deadliest woman in the ~~galaxy~~ Sword Coast - All I really need here is modding her an emo haircut.
Astarion as Rocket - They're both foul-mouthed and quick to anger. Their backstories actually have a lot of thematic similarity, being twisted into someone else's weapon. Probably a Sorc to accommodate Rocket's love of explosions, unless the Artificer mod is any good. Could have Shovel as a stand-in for Groot? I may try to mod him into a gnome so that he too is small and adorable.

AND MAYBE...?

That leaves one party slot, which I see going one of two ways:

Karlach/Minsc as Drax the Destroyer - Big, gullible, excitable, destroys stuff.
Minthara as Nebula - I feel like she'd have the same vibe in a good party. Dragging her around with the misfits I'm turning into begrudging heroes might make for great banter.

Suggestions on builds/mods/things to do for maximum chaos and therefor fun? Stories of your own weird themed parties? Arguments about my awful flarking decisions?

Not to flood the community, but several people seemed to like the last one. So here's another taste of bardcore, this time a collab from two of the greats.

I fuckin' love bardcore, and Hildy is the godsdamned QUEEN!

A haunting medieval style cover of NIN's classic, Hildegard's version seems to tell the tale of a regretful immortal crushed under the weight of outliving everyone they connect with.

And a question for the comments, any interest in a possible c/bardcore community? Or is there one my search missed?

I read the lyrics for this on reddit a few years back, and just learned there was a recording. Would be great for for a bard doing an adventure at the Yawning Portal.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And she's always gone too long

Anytime she goes away

What are some good sketch comedy shows? (self.asklemmy)

One of my favorite genres, always looking for more. Bonus points if it's currently on streaming.

I've watched the absolute hell out of That Mitchell and Webb Look, Kids in the Hall, Whitest Kids U Know, and obviously SNL and MadTV but both of those had a lot of ups and downs.

I saw the one season each that Astronomy Club and The Moth Effect had and they were both pretty good. I've seen some A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but can't find a good place to stream it. TripTank was basically a sketch show with cartoons, and I liked that a lot too.

I haven't tried these, but someone mentioned them the other day as being fantastic. I was looking for another good CRPG after I finish my current Pathfinder WotR run so I wishlisted the bundle, and apparently had great timing.

TAS 1x05, immediately thought of those celebrity name rhymes they did in Community.

Disgaea fans: How does 4 compare to 1 and 2, doods? (self.games)

submitted 10 months ago by Apeman42 to c/games

I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven't touched the series beyond that, and haven't even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years.

How would you rate 4 in comparison? I noticed it was on sale in the Switch eShop, and I'd love to have one of the series to play on the go.

What I loved about the ones I played:

Story had a good balance of comedy and heart
Flexible and fun character building, with decent enough defined classes to get you started
Tons of post-game/side content (I didn't like every piece of it, but I liked how much there was to try.)
CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH
Perfect geochains, though I was usually too smoothbrain for it.

What I didn't like:
