To your point, I’ve found storytelling to become fairly predictable as I age. Not that I didn’t watch shows or movies anymore. There’s a comfort in knowing what comes next and enjoying the art of visual storytelling and good acting. It also makes shows/movies that defy expectation that much better. Not “subvert expectations done poorly” like later seasons of GoT. More like (Andor spoilers)
! when Nemik dies. I know Cassian is the Reluctant Hero™. I know he’ll need a catalyst to galvanize his will and purpose. As soon as Nemik came on screen with his fresh face and youthful enthusiasm I thought “yeah he dies by the end of ACT II, and Cassian will be so moved by his sacrifice he’ll become a rebel”. But he died and Cassian was all “Yeah that sucks. Gonna take my money and bail.” !<
I’m in my 40’s. The dad of one of my childhood friends is in his 60’s. He (the dad) grew up playing arcade games. He’s not just still playing them, that man and his boomer disposable income has had like every console that’s ever been made. He passes previous Gen consoles on to families in his community that he knows have little income when the next Gen comes out.
He’s not just still playing games, he’s promoting them for the people least likely to be able to play
Does this mean Tales From the Stinky Dragon is shutting down too? While it’s not the best DnD actual play, it’s still pretty great. And i still hold out hope that Gustavo brings back Black Box Down some day
Edit: nvm i read the article and the podcasts are staying
16 guys in a 10x15 room with two TVs and two consoles. The four highest ranked players swap out so the cannon fodder can improve their skills. Whoever throws a controller first has to buy beer for the rest, and the best player gets shackled with the MadCats controller
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...
Baldur’s Gate 3. I had never played any of the series but the reviews were good so I took a chance. It probably is the closest we’ll get to an actual dnd experience in a single player game (well, except for scheduling conflicts lol). I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and am trying to not let it take over my life
Ooof, even Order of the Stick is based on 3.5e. The only thing i know about 1st, 2nd, and 4th editions is what Matt Coleville has talked about in his running the game series (minions and the bloodied condition ftw btw)
Ngl, i used mods in Morrowind back in the day, and tried them with Skyrim, but today there is such a glut of quality games that i have a backlog of things i still want to play but haven’t had time for yet. I get 1-2hrs each night that i can use to play games. At this rate i won’t be playing Skyrim in Space™ until June next year, and i still want to go back and do a new playthrough with the Phantom Liberty dlc. That’s just the AAA games, there’s several from smaller studios on my list. Plus I GM a SW5e campaign every winter with some friends… man I’d love to quit my job so that I could game.
If anything, I expect to enjoy them MORE once I can share the interest with my kids (lemmy.world) angielski
