The loss of roaming territory to the sedentary oppressors might also have something to do with the transition.

TV shows:
Babylon Berlin - nearing the end of the first series. It's been very good so far. Heartily recommend.

Atlanta - Working my way through series 4. Don't think it has hit the highs of S3 so far, but still enjoying it a lot. Well worth watching all the same.

Films: Cam - ultimately underwhelming psychological horror that didn't do enough with the premise I think. Not bad, but just perhaps not ambitious or exploratory enough with its comceit.

El Conte - another great premise, but ultimately underwhelming film. Went in wanting to love it and it started well, but botched the landing. Maybe if I was a leftist chilanos it'd have resonated with me more, but the whole "it's all corrupt and they all knew" thing just fell flat. I wanted it to go beyond that. Some good moments and nicely shot scenes though.

It's not.

It's just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you'll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.

I get you're being facietious, but it's more like chimps are monkeys in about the same way a hammerhead shark and a lungfish are different.

At the beginning of each upkeep, lose two life and draw 2 sodas.

I'll say it: milipedes are cute.

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn't care any more. (Also, there's no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

While centipedes are fine, I've always been much more of a milipede fan.

I think fixing will be much less good with rotation, at least initially. Plus fixing needs to be really good to make splashing a 1 drop viable.

I also don't think it will sink the deck, but I do think it makes it notably worse.

You're right that demolishing their own Yotian Frontliner post combat, or even the turn you play it after tapping it to something might still be good enough though.

Epicure means that they have two different 1 drops that make an artifact which they can turn into 3 goblins the following turn.

With only one 1 drop, there probably isn't the value in running Gleeful Demolition. Which makes their starts much less explosive.

13/20

Kicked myself for a couple of them, others I had absolutely no hope.

An actual rush is a very all in strategy, just don't fall too far behind on making combat units and you'll be fine.

Its as true in AoE2 as it is in Starcraft(pick one).

Great fun games, tickle me in a different way to slower, absolutely no rush, 4X games.

Still some of the best party shooters out there. A plethora of game modes, and a co-op story mode as well. The original and FP are great games. 2 took itself a little too seriously in my opinion (and didn't have character select lines) for it to match up to quite the same level.

China Mieville and Ursula Le Guin are both up there are authors who have written things that have felt momentous to read.

But I'm not sure either of them could edge out Terry Pratchett as the author whose work I've enjoyed going back to time and time again, having read most of Discworld at a more formative age probably helps too.

My favourite is the one where they use bananas as proof of God. (Always boring monothiests, too..

And in my day we couldn't just send boomers to bed with a hand wave, we had to sit through the Clintons' saxophone show first and then we...

You're wrong, but I'm glad you have had fun and I hope that TESVI isn't a micro transaction fuelled pile of tripe.

Yup, that's the one.

Has Bethesda actually released a decent game since Daggerfall?

Great artwork, and a total house in Dominaria limited formats, too.
