Some perfectly cromulent words in this thread. It really embiggens one's spirit!

I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game in c/[email protected]

If you liked BG3 and Divinity 2, I'm obligated to mention the Pathfinder games: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. The graphics are a touch simple, but the writing is great and the detailed character building scratches an itch for me. As far as I'm concerned, Owlcat is currently the only real competition Larian has.

Hey Lemmy! Who ya voting for to be the new pope? in c/[email protected]

He didn't get to be Spider-Man when it was age-appropriate and people were buzzing about the idea. I feel like Pope is a good consolation prize.

If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.

Reminder that The Lay of Nimrodel is written in common meter, so you can sing it to the Gilligan's Island tune.

Edit: If you want a serious tune to perform it with, I just remembered House of the Rising Sun also works.

How am I supposed to go on? in c/[email protected]

See I was thinking he retained an infinite level of power, but only within the incredibly small domain of being able to finagle over any chair, physics be damned.

Unless... Riker specifically maintained just enough Q power to counteract this, his one and only weakness, at the end of Hide and Q.

If we are in a simulation, maybe yawning is an animation glitch. (lemmy.world)
 

As far as I know, the purpose of yawning isn't really understood, but it's present in nearly all land vertebrae. Maybe it's a universal bug in the breathing animation code.

So then is Lilith a harpy or a succubus?

Are you fucking reading this, Wizards? You could have a Yawning Portal sitcom and millions of nerds would eat it the fuck up.

What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? (lemmy.world)

I want to grapple, glide, wall run, etc around a big open world. What are some games you think are fun for that?

I picked up Sunset Overdrive on a sale, and the rail grinding is fine I guess, but it's just not clicking with me.

Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates. (lemmy.world)
 

Just off the top of my head, there's Scarecrow, Ivy, Harley, Hugo Strange, Kirk Langstrom, and I think I read that Freeze had his revoked.

What are your favorite Switch exclusives? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm including anything only available on other Nintendo systems as exclusive for this.

I've got a $50 eShop card I figure I should spend before gold points go away.

I have BotW. It was alright, but it didn't excite me enough to get TotK unless it's on a deep discount.

I've also already got Mario Odyssey and Metroid Prime Remastered. I have a handful of other games but they're not Switch exclusive afaik.

I'm mostly using my Steam deck for handheld these days, so I'd rather not get anything non-exclusive on the Switch right now.

How the hell is there not a Green Arrow video game? (lemmy.world)
 

Nearly everybody loved the open-city Arkham games and Spider-Man, and nearly everybody loved playing a stealth archer in Skyrim.

Get the fucking peanut butter in the chocolate and let me be Oliver Queen already.

They call themselves the... Guardians of the Sword Coast. (lemmy.world)
 

I've been playing the Guardians of the Galaxy game lately, and after realizing how similar Lae'zel and Gamora are, I know I have to reinstall BG3 for a Guardians playthrough.

STARRING...

  • Tav as Petyr O'Quill, a.k.a. BARD-LORD - Half-elf, dual crossbows, high Cha/low Int. Torn between Lore for Cutting Words, or Swords for more pew pew.
  • Lae'zel as Gamora, the deadliest woman in the ~~galaxy~~ Sword Coast - All I really need here is modding her an emo haircut.
  • Astarion as Rocket - They're both foul-mouthed and quick to anger. Their backstories actually have a lot of thematic similarity, being twisted into someone else's weapon. Probably a Sorc to accommodate Rocket's love of explosions, unless the Artificer mod is any good. Could have Shovel as a stand-in for Groot? I may try to mod him into a gnome so that he too is small and adorable.

AND MAYBE...?

That leaves one party slot, which I see going one of two ways:

  • Karlach/Minsc as Drax the Destroyer - Big, gullible, excitable, destroys stuff.
  • Minthara as Nebula - I feel like she'd have the same vibe in a good party. Dragging her around with the misfits I'm turning into begrudging heroes might make for great banter.

Suggestions on builds/mods/things to do for maximum chaos and therefor fun? Stories of your own weird themed parties? Arguments about my awful flarking decisions?

Algal the Bard with Hildegard von Blingin' - Dust in the Wind (Bardcore) (www.youtube.com)
 

Not to flood the community, but several people seemed to like the last one. So here's another taste of bardcore, this time a collab from two of the greats.

Hildegard von Blingin' - Hurt (Bardcore) (www.youtube.com)
 

I fuckin' love bardcore, and Hildy is the godsdamned QUEEN!

A haunting medieval style cover of NIN's classic, Hildegard's version seems to tell the tale of a regretful immortal crushed under the weight of outliving everyone they connect with.

And a question for the comments, any interest in a possible c/bardcore community? Or is there one my search missed?

Deep Into Undermountain (to the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountains) (www.youtube.com)
 

I read the lyrics for this on reddit a few years back, and just learned there was a recording. Would be great for for a bard doing an adventure at the Yawning Portal.

Bill Withers' song "Ain't No Sunshine" could be interpreted as Hades and/or Demeter singing about Persephone. (lemmy.world)

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And she's always gone too long

Anytime she goes away

What are some good sketch comedy shows? (lemmy.world)

One of my favorite genres, always looking for more. Bonus points if it's currently on streaming.

I've watched the absolute hell out of That Mitchell and Webb Look, Kids in the Hall, Whitest Kids U Know, and obviously SNL and MadTV but both of those had a lot of ups and downs.

I saw the one season each that Astronomy Club and The Moth Effect had and they were both pretty good. I've seen some A Bit of Fry and Laurie, but can't find a good place to stream it. TripTank was basically a sketch show with cartoons, and I liked that a lot too.
