TTRPGs, video games, puns, and Oxford Comma. Fantasy dwarves are my kind of people.

Ponieważ od 2022 naćkałem kilka dłuższych wątków o Exalted pod szyldem #ExaltYourPlaystyle, ten je zgromadzi i nową nitką zwiąże, żeby zaprowadzić jakiś ład.

@AxiomDelver @kamborek All wok, no pay

Incredible: AI can predict the winner of the 2024 election. Looks like there will be a few surprises; for example, there's a good chance that Iowa will win Texas.

@CerberusXt Colin Moriarty (whose business is described in paragraph 2 as “registered under https://t.co/5BqqQjTV01” and “housed in San Fransisco”) has been taking these grifters to task lately for their complete lack of critical thinking, so my guess is he made this bait to prove his point.

To po prostu Jon Bernthal. To jest zdjęcie Jona Bernthala. Nie ma żadnego kostiumu, sceny akcji, to tylko Jon Bernthal.

"First look"

@Cromwelp @JezCorden It seems like there are a few of these nobodys who take the tweet as a cue to join in.

@kamborek @CerberusXt This would just bring back the Piss Filter era of gaming.

At first I assumed this was a sensationalist way to describe concerns about piracy, but no they’re actually concerned that individual researchers might play some of the games for fun.

@kamborek Wymuszono przejście do awanturnictwa. Mandat 500 złotych i 7 punktów karnych.

Oh, thank you, but I'm already mostly off X.

The more I read about DAVe the more interesting it becomes.

We Played Dragon Age The Veilguard and have tons of details to share!

- Dragon Age The Veilguard has both very linear levels with carefully crafted combat encounters and larger locations to freely explore
- Explore these larger locations to find new gear, crafting materials and optional enemies & bosses
- Side quests are pretty much designed to get you to previously unexplored area’s
- Every companion has a fully fleshed out quest line
- Except for Harding, each companion belongs to one of the major factions in Veilguard
- Your faction choice gives access to unique dialog options
- The faction you chose at the start also comes with 3 unique bonuses (like extra health and defense or increased damage vs Darkspawn, the enemies in the game)
- Rook, our main character, will be confronted with the consequences of big decisions made in the game
- Choices can also impact & alter the locations you’ll visit
- It’s easier to track decisions made in the game as you’ll now see the results of your choices in addition to who approves or disapproves
- The character creator is very easy to use, with tons of options to choose from
- Every companion has a unique ability to use in the world (Bellara can interact with ancient Elven machinery, while Lucanis can pull terrain from the dream dimension called The Fade)
- Backtracking seems totally worth it as different companions can open up previously unexplored paths
- The game takes place 10 years after DA: Inquisition (although new players can jump in pretty easily too)
- There’s a special region called The Crossroads, a mysterious part of the Fade-realm
- The Fade isn’t accessible to normal people, but you & your party can explore the Crossroads and unlock new parts of that realm by defeating Blight Champions (mini bosses)
- The Crossroads also seems like a very interesting area for lore hunters as there’s a lot to find that’s related to both Solas/Fen’Harel
- Each of the 3 classes feel really good to play, with different play styles for each class (like the Warrior’s sword/shield combo or the two-handed weapon)
- The mage has 2 weapon options as well, with a staff or the orb/dagger combo (use the orb to set a primer from a destance & detonate it with the dagger from closeby)
- The rogue doesn’t swap out his daggers at any point, but he seemingly has the most powerful ranged attack with his bow
- Taking down enemies quickly will require you to use your full moveset (enemies with an armor-bar will need to be hit with heavy attacks to deal with the armor quickly, for example)
- The skill tree is huge, with tons of options to add new passive effects, abilities, and combos
- Dragon Age The Veilguards makes you think about how you want to build out your character as many nodes in the skill tree unlock new moves to use in combat or buffs that trigger when you perform a specific action
- Rook can only equip 3 active abilities found in the skill tree, which adds to the fact that you’ll need to craft a build (and you can always respec later)
- Each of the 7 companions has their own skill tree (not as expansive as Rooks), allowing you to pick how they handle battles
- You can set up skill combos combining abilities with your companions using the ability wheel
- Some companions have access to healing spells
- Some outfits only unlock depending on your choices during a companion-specific quest line

@AxiomDelver This is what you get when a chunk of audience has become permamently lore-brained.

I blame Star Wars and codex-heavy video games as main culprits.

[Mongward, the Grumpiest Paladin @mongward]

No implication left unexplicated.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

A ‘JOHN WICK’ prequel anime film is in the works.

The film follows the “impossible task” that John Wick had to complete in order to retire from being an assassin.

Go fuck yourself

[No The Robot is on Bluesky @No_The_Robot]

Animators will drop the most insane, well-choreographed, batshit crazy animation you've ever seen, and call it an "animation test."
