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?

What's your radical opinion?
  • I'm with you when the onions are raw. Cooked, the texture is tolerable enough that the taste is worth it IMO. Though I do prefer them chopped small or sliced thin no matter what.

  • Yes. Also due to free time, climate change, a global swing towards fascism, and the fact that I find all children unpleasant to be around.

  • There was a time Wally West ripped into him when the League tried to talk to Wally about his kids superheroing. "I'm getting lectures in child safety from a man who's gone through four Robins?!"

    Summer Giveaway because why not - Steam Codes! - Giveaway Ends Aug 31!
  • A winner is... me?! This is incredible!

    Installing FF5 now because I love the early iteration of switchable classes, then I'll loop back around and play them in order. So I guess I have the next 300-400 hours planned.

    Thank you again CatZoomies, you're my hero.

    They also deserve better games than Minecraft IMO, but that's a different conversation.

    What are your food aversions?
  • To me, cooked onion is delicious and enhances most meals. Raw onion has an incredibly unpleasant crunch and ruins anything it's in.

    What's the worst video game you've ever played?
  • Shadow Madness on PS1. Unlikable characters, incoherent story, bad graphics, and boring gameplay. It was like someone drew a better JRPG from memory.

    What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • Twisted Metal: Black II please. Or even one that's a little more of a dark comedy like TM2. I just know I hated everything after Black. (Why the fuck were we racing instead of fighting sometimes?!)

  • I haven't gotten to try it yet, but I hear Dread Delusion has a lot of Morrowind's visual style and weirdness, if not quite the same gameplay.

  • 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.

    It's not warm when she's away

    Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

    And she's always gone too long

    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 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:

    • Item world, IIRC worse in 1 than 2?
    • Adell's siblings
    • Demon court thing?

    Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you'd open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
