Nice. I boil mine in milk (almond milk these days), then add dried cranberries, toasted chopped pecans, and maple syrup.

Just played through the demo, and I think the gameplay is fun and entertaining, but I agree. It's not that they're physically hard to read - you can right click on the cards and blow them up big - but the language is imprecise and unclear in places. It's not always obvious what a card does or what specific abilities do, even with the tooltips. I did wishlist it, but I'll wait until it's on sale or in a bundle.

D'oh! Somehow I didn't log into lemmy in over a month and totally missed this. Sorry to waste your time and I hope the person who did win is very happy.

"In Tartarus" - The Night Eternal

Elden Ring. I've never really played a souls game, and it looks really great.

Not a lot of joy this year, got laid off last year and now find myself in a job where I'm making less and commuting more, but there were a couple of bright spots. I've been running a D&D game set in Mythic Greece, and it's been the best TTRPG I've run or played in years - my players have been absolutely loving it. Plus, I recently spoke to a retirement advisor and found that I'm in very good shape to retire in 10 years, and that makes me very happy.

Thanks for doing this. Happy Holidays!

In Enderal (an absolutely amazing, totally free game that runs on the Skyrim engine - if you own Skyrim you owe it to yourself to play Enderal), at the end of Esme's questline, sitting on top of the lighthouse and discussing the events of her story.

Esme quest spoilersIf you've ever had a loved one who struggled with mental illness or depression, and you just couldn't help them, it hits like a ton of bricks

Gods yes. What a brilliant piece of writing that DLC was - simultaneously hilarious and deeply poignant.

Can't log in or view the site with liftoff, sadly.

Saw it last night, mostly agree with this take on it, though in a bit less glowing terms. I didn't think the emotional payoff alluded to in this review really worked, because I didn't think they'd laid enough groundwork for it. Too much of this movie was more storyboard than story, with not enough time spent on actually delving into these characters' feelings and relationships. That said, it was definitely a fun popcorn flick, with some great action, a good sense of humor, fun characters, and, as the article points out, minimal required external knowledge. And everything said about the publicity was spot on.

 

I just finished watching Invincible: Atom Eve, and I felt like talking about it. In short, I thought it was fantastic! In a world filled with superhero origin stories, this was the superhero origin story I didn't know I needed.

Full disclosure, I've always liked the character of Atom Eve, both in the comics and the TV show, so I might be biased or at least already primed to like this one-shot. That said, I thought the animation was great (in keeping with the rest of the series), and the voice acting was spot on. It was a bit bittersweet to hear Lance Reddick again (I assume for the final time), but he was perfect in the role.

They did a brilliant job capturing the wonder, excitement, and heartbreak of Samantha's story. I literally gasped in time with her when she discovered her power, and nearly shed a tear in disappointment with her over her family. It's been a very long wait to get new Invincible, and Nov. 3 is still a long way away, but I thought this was a great reminder of what we've been waiting for.

What did everyone else think?

 

I'd love to be able to click on a link and have it open in a new tab rather than in the current tab, without having to specifically right-click and tell it to do so. This was the behavior I had set up back on reddit, though I don't recall if that was a built-in feature or part of RES, and it makes browsing a lot more convenient.
