I actually carried a 7 inch tablet in my pocket before it was cool, bezels and all. This was back on Android 2.3 when people would moan about tablet UIs and say that it's just a giant phone, to which I would say: Yea, and having a giant phone is awesome.
Started playing The Lamplighters League after seeing that it's on game pass. Also still playing Sea of Stars,where I just defeated the Dweller, and now feel betrayed 😭
I've made tea cakes before and generally enjoy them. I wonder how much flavor you get from used tea bags... I might try throwing some into the next bread I bake.
There was a place on Venice beach called Rose's Thai Window which had the best pad Thai. You could get it mild, medium, spicy, or 'Rose spicy', which is how she made it for herself. Whenever we tried to order it Rose spicy, she would flat out tell us no.
On the last day the place was open, before she moved back to Thailand, she finally made it for us. I lasted literally 2 bites before I couldn't taste anything anymore, except pain.
This looks amazing.
Being able to switch your class at any time seems a bit weird. I wonder why they don't just have you take control of one of the other characters in your party instead?
Whenever we cross state lines we raise our hands and go "whoop, whoop." I have no idea when this started, but it brings us joy whenever we're on a road trip.
Playing Sea of Stars on gamepass, and Baldur's Gate 3, co-op with my wife.
Sea of Stars is pretty fun and kind of relaxing.
I want to like BG3 more than I do. Lots of frustrations with the combat, and the waypoint/journaling system.
I've played more BG3 now, and maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't figure out how to block anything. E.g. I'll stand at the top of a ladder to block enemies from climbing up, but they'll happily climb up and walk right through me. Or standing on a narrow beam, and somehow they go to stand next to me on the narrow side to push me off?
What am I missing? How are you able to block any space?
I think I've tried Snow Crash 2 or 3 times, but have never made it very far in. It's my friend's favorite book, so I may try again sometime, but I think it's just not for me, even though the subject matter is totally up my alley.
Huh, I'm not sure I agree. It's fairly straightforward to represent any volume as a 3D grid, and depending on how the game system does the math, it's easy to count cells on any diagonal.
I think the controls are a bit messy, but Solasta has a totally usable 3D grid for things like flying, and also shows how area effects like spheres or such affect surfaces on different levels.
Oh gosh, I vaguely remember the pausing & queueing up action thing. I usually played 2 player, and I'm trying to remember if that paused everyone or not.
Yea, I saw Midnight Suns as a mashup between something like XCom and a CCG. I haven't played too many CCGs, though I did enjoy Slay the Spire. I see the cards as adding some randomness to the game, but as far as the tactical positioning it doesn't really change things for me. I remember the environment actually factoring in quite a bit... pushing people into things, or throwing things. I guess the lack of grid didn't really hurt that, but I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more if the grid had been there. Ultimately I don't know if it's the grid itself, or just a fundamental shift in style of gameplay that leads to me not enjoying these games as much.
