FF? Final Fantasy? Fully French? Freedom Force?

Proves their point. Even I know that two-year-olds are aliens. ;)

I'm sure it has nothing to do with those old fish heads and roasted miniature giant space hamsters you've been eating. ;)

I don't think I've even had the opportunity to pay sticker price! They always gave me some sort of "but I can get it for you for $3K less" line as they're walking with me. And, of course, there's always the 'let me go check with my manager' bit. Well, always until Tesla. Hard to haggle...

FF7 Rebirth - last batch Tifa kicking dragon tail Damn teenagers thinking they are immortal! Get AWAY from the ledge, Yuffie! That is just so disturbing. Half those things are monsters and the one on his head is a DEADLY monster! And they're making a toy out of it!? Who would make a...

You know that feeling you get when you overcome a hard boss? Talos 2 does that a lot. Only, instead of feeling skillful, you feel really smart. It's interesting how they did the levels in 2. There are 8 numbered puzzles with big signposts telling you which way to go to get to the next one...

I did the same sort of thing yesterday. I hit 11th level and my Ranger took that plant growth thing. It's nice because, unlike the spike growth spell he got much earlier, it doesn't require concentration and slows them by 75% instead of just 50%. Then Shadowheart threw in an insect plague to...

I noticed the article but didn't read it. I didn't realize it was mangling things so badly, or that 'slow rate' meant 'you will have to deal with it until August!' In the meantime, more folks are trying Distant Worlds 2 and getting confused by all the stuff people often get confused with. I...

Did something terrible happen to Solaris?? Steam recommended the new DLC to me, but it has a mostly negative user review score right now. I looked around and it seems the 4.0 update that came with the DLC caused massive performance issues!? That doesn't seem like Paradox's style.

Sounds like a pretty positive game. ;)

Don't EVEN get me started about the tradition of trying to make our laws look like a green carpet! Any chance of making a "garden" of the not-quite-weeds? If you stick them in a rectangle, it tends to go over better. Especially if you put the different types in rows. (Of course, if one snake...

It doesn't officially start for a few days, but it kinda has started. LOTS of games have gone on sale through the 27th, which is when it really starts on Steam. GOG has already started. Jeez, Everspace is just a dollar! https://www.gog.com/en/game/everspace

Eldrich Blast is 1-10 force damage plus charisma bonus of +4 for 5-14, average of 9.5 per hit. You've got to actually hit, so maybe 6 damage per shot times 3 shots will be 18 damage. But it's FORCE damage, which is rarely resisted, it's at range, and it knocks back pretty hard. The shots can...

They could sing 4 part harmony AND play instruments! (And they could get the Warlock Eldrich Blast cantrip with that one feat and do quite well with it.)

I think it was more of a console thing. PCs didn't have to worry about it, with our cavernous hard drives. PS1's flash cards had just 128KB of space on them, and people expected to put multiple saves on it. PS2 had 8MB. I didn't play much else besides JRPGs, tough - I had a PC to play the...
