Me: “Is this Big O?”

It is.

I always loved the mystery that this show managed to capture when I was a kid. Especially catching an episode here or there on cable TV. It often meant missing key plot points or not understanding how everything fit together. Watched it through as an adult and I still really like it. I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. Not that it’s over the top, but the absurdity of it is something I still reference to this day.

Also the phone ringing to tell you the name of the next episode is burned into my brain

There’s really no right answer here and I don’t think it’s something that we can work through without that player involved in the conversation. It’s not that they don’t know better, it’s not that you haven’t helped them, it’s not that you haven’t made suggestions, and they’ve been doing this for 3 YEARS??? I’m sorry, but this is above my pay grade. I am almost certain there is some detail that I’m missing because this makes zero sense. I have played with veterans of all walks and ages, new players who are 8 years old, new players that are 60 years old, and everywhere in between. It just doesn’t make sense unless there’s more to it.

Sit down with the player again. Ask why they don’t use cantrips. Leave the leveled spells aside for now (saving them forever is a problem, but an understandable one). Continue to remind them every combat, every turn, every time they take out their dagger. I know you said your group doesn’t know the rules well, so maybe it’s time to learn (3 YEARS???). Cantrips and weapons work exactly the same, so I don’t know how “not wanting to engage with the mechanics” has anything to with it. There’s something going on and I can’t be sure what it is without talking to this player themselves

Single player is fun if you like to play survival crafting games alone. “Pokémon with guns” is not actually a very good description. It’s a monster capturing game, and the creatures are cartoony like Pokémon, but it’s a third person survival crafting game. No turn based elements or choosing monster move sets or anything like that.

It’s more like Ark with Pokémon instead of dinosaurs

Yeah, it’s true. New years is a special time for a lot of lovers and she has never spent a new year without her partner in all of her adult life. The hugging thing was probably her just trying to get through a hard time, but after a couple days, I think she realized she couldn’t just magically swap OP in for her old partner, which is why she needed space. Then when OP started obsessing, she probably decided it was better to go their separate ways since she wasn’t ready. I’m making a lot of assumptions here, but I just think it was a bad time for her and sadly OP fell head over heels

ETA: I also think things could have gone differently (or even still could, let’s be real, these two met less than a week ago!) if OP was more respectful of her feelings too. Like “hey I miss you, haven’t heard from you in a while and I love what we have going on” is totally fine, but “why are you doing this to me” just shows a lack of empathy. OP asked her if she wanted him to go, and I’m not shocked she pushed him away, but maybe OP could say “I respect that you just got out of a very long relationship, so I’ll back off, but I like you a lot, so when and if you are ever ready to try again, hit me up.” I’m not saying he should just wait around for her to come back or anything, but it all happened so fast. No need to burn the acquaintanceship to the ground by getting obsessed

A lot of the anime is pretty bad, and I say that as a diehard fan. But starting with XY they really put it in gear and started making a real anime that’s worth watching instead of an awkwardly paced cartoon. If you are looking to save time, I’d just start there, but when you watch Journeys, it’s really more enjoyable the more you’ve watched the older series (guest appearances and whatnot)

I remember seeing this list that reddit user u/MarcoR_ made a while back: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K5DCKrbU4V345UMJwI89IHHTn7g-o9hEF3QsmOEKcxY/htmlview

Not sure how up to date it is but it looks like it has the latest series too. I haven’t used it myself, but a friend of mine used it to blow through the Indigo League so maybe it will help you

I see a site advertising a Nintendo Switch for $5 and brand new games for 30 cents a piece and I already know damn well not to shop there. Especially when the ads insist it’s legit lol

I believe a normal magic 8-ball has raised letters so they press against the top and push all the colored liquid aside. So a normal d20 with recessed numbers probably doesn’t work as well.

When I saw this posted yesterday, I started down a rabbit hole of figuring out how to make a magic d20 like that, but I couldn’t find any stls or 3D models of a d20 with raised numbers, since that wouldn’t make any sense for 99.9% of uses.

I found this video of someone making their own custom magic 8-ball with links to stl files with raised letters. Someone who knows how to create the files for a 3D printer could probably easily extrude the numbers on the faces, but that person isn’t me

Such a jam with great guest voices. I unironically love this movie and soundtrack, but this song is especially good

Love this guy’s videos. They are hilarious. You definitely need to watch the RPG series if you like this one. Other honorable mentions are the Curious George one and the Lanky Kong one

Adventure awaits! Huzzah!

I think there is a setting on your account to hide bot posts. I was initially blocking all the bots until I found that setting and now I don’t see them at all

I’m really interested in playing this on the Deck. I know they said that it would run on Deck performance-wise, but I just don’t see how the controls won’t be awful and the text way too small.

Hoping for an official controller support patch and maybe some UI/text scaling options.

I have no problem playing on Desktop, but this is a game I would love to bring over to a friend’s place and play in handheld or on the TV, but right now, I have my doubts that it’s not cumbersome as hell. I can try the trackpad and R2 mouse style, but I dont have high hopes
