Mulled wine here. It’s delicious and it makes me feel medieval-fancy.

That’s a fair assessment. There are a ridiculous number of classes and subclasses each with their own quirks. And that’s without getting into multiclassing or Wrath’s mythic path system. I’ve definitely spent 20+ minutes leveling up before.

Do you like JRPGs? Yakuza: Like a Dragon is fairly recent and has a sequel (that I haven’t gotten to play yet). The story is NOT your typical RPG fare, it’s a modern drama about an ex-gangster trying to get back on his feet after prison (it gets emotional, I cried). But the combat is a classic turn-based RPG and it’s fun, stylish, and just barely complex enough to stay engaging.

The graphics are much simpler than BG3, but Owlcat has done some fantastic work with their Pathfinder games.

Wrath of the Righteous is much more polished and expanded than Kingmaker, but they’re both great. They both have the option to play in turn-based like BG3, or real time with pause like the old BG games.

The series with the magic item home shopping network is amazing.

I’m now imagining Jeff Goldblum as Gale and I kind of love it.

We’re reaching for characters at this point, but I suppose we could cast Shadowheart as Moondragon and Wyll as Adam Warlock for the lols if nothing else.

You might be onto something with Halsin & Groot… could rotate between him and Minthara until Minsc is available.

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?!”

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.

Children deserve better movies than this soulless green-screened cash grab.

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

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really.

Shadow Madness on PS1. Unlikable characters, incoherent story, bad graphics, and boring gameplay. It was like someone drew a better JRPG from memory.

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.

If that’s not the perfect descriptor for God Hand, I don’t know what is.

Also where the fuck is a God Hand remaster/sequel while we’re on the subject?

Comrade! There are DOZENS of us!

Oh buddy, you’re in for a treat if you like this and you’re just getting started. Everything on Hildegard’s channel is pretty fantastic.

There’s also a sub-category where they actually sing in old languages, like this cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit in classical latin.
