CoolCly 03/11/24 1:02:47 AM #93 | Your analysis of Spike's characterization is spot on, both in everything about his feelings and its level of villainy. It really isn't so much of a villain song so much as a song utilizing a villain, but still felt appropriate to throw in here. I'm sure you already know that the other song I nominated from the episode was the real villain of the hour.
Though I would note, in comparison to most of the songs from the episode, Rest In Peace does have a more villainous tinge to it. It just wouldn't stand out for that reason in a sea of villain songs! --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

CoolCly 03/10/24 7:02:40 PM #18 | I think those two moral decisions fairly early on where
Oh god I gave Travis the venom dagger which gives him new AP skill Poison Slash. It poisons the enemy which does a lot of damage which is sick, but I didn't realize how crucial Passive Steal was - he steals PP from enemies preventing them from doing stuff with it, but more importantly gives him more PP to evade with. His ability to survive goes down a ton without this. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

CoolCly 03/09/24 4:31:25 PM #13 | Hmmm
Gryphon + Thief + Lex does make sense. The problem with flyers and Lex though is who is the leader? Lex gives ranged assist cover but the flyer wants to be leader to go fast I stuck Travis with Alain's group because from the tutorial example and have left them there. It seems kinda nice because Travis only dodges perfectly for as long as he has PP, and Alain will block one shot and then heal himself so helps stretch out Travis's dodges. Gave him the silken scarf to improve his dodge even more so he's unlikely to ever take damage --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

CoolCly 03/09/24 3:59:28 PM #11 | So what are some good unit formations?
The basic mindset is generally to have somebody who can soak up damage (Hoplites, Gladiators, Thieves) in the front row and have mostly everyone else in the back. Lex and Alain start in the front row but I'm not so sure they do the trick. But beyond that, I'm not sure I've seen any combos in particular that pop off. Classes have specialties like Soldier can pierce to units in the back, Hunters own flying units and thieves, etc, so that's good for countering, but I dont know what would be good inherent team ups. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |
Topic | What was the biggest leap between gaming console generations? |
CoolCly 03/08/24 12:56:18 PM #56 | I feel like that "step back" Para describes is actually more of an indication of how big of a stepforward it really was. Sometimes to make really big process you have to take some steps backwards to be able to open up the path forward.
Yeah - we had to sacrifice polish that developed in the 4th generation over the 3rd - because it had opened up a whole new universe of possibility that had to be figured out. 5th to 6ths big leap forward graphically was impressive an was more noticeable than subsequent generations, (though honestly 6 to 7 was kinda similar) but it's primarily polishing steps that 4th to 5th had created. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

First off no, secondly 'relegated to handhelds' as if that isn't a major part of gaming? This is actually a pretty brilliant comparison by foolmo. Handhelds were essentially "stuck" in 4th gen for a long time by design and the difference between them and consoles/PC's is really stark. It's literally at the barrier. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

CoolCly 03/07/24 8:00:59 PM #14 | Yeah, I think supporters of 2 to 3 are looking at the height of the NES's accomplishments, which were significant, but were not that widespread- many games did just feel like arcade games. But because the NES did accomplish those things, the jump to SNES is smoothed out a bit too. foolmo has the right read
5 to 6 did feel like a big upgrade to photo realism but some would say 6 to 7 was too. I don't think it compares to the 4 to 5 change to the very dimensions we live in. what a patch that was 4 to 5 is the way. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

Topic | Willy Wonka event in Glasgow under fire for overpromising using AI art |
CoolCly 02/29/24 5:03:56 AM #32 | This is extremely funny because they actually did put a bit of effort into putting up props and stuff to line up with what the AI images showed. It wasn't just a complete scam of AI images and then people show up and see just some pinned up pictures on the walls. It did have those, but a bunch of those props like the rainbow arch would have taken actual effort to put together or acquire
It wasn't zero effort, it was just low effort. That's even better. Somebody actually at least SOMEWHAT laboured to realize the vision of the AI images and thought "this should be good enough." --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

I don't think fighting wandering mercenaries really does anything besides stun the world map mob. Not sure what happens if you lose, I never did. But I realized you can mostly just avoid those guys by staying out of line of sight, hiding behind trees, and holding B to run and zoom past, so I basically explored everywhere I could before hitting dead ends so I could collect all the foraging spots before doing any actual battles so they'd refresh. But they haven't refreshed after doing like four battles! --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

CoolCly 02/25/24 6:31:46 PM #75 | I think the most relevant poker strategy is understanding "if i throw away cards here, what are the chances of getting the cards I need to complete my combo". Which you can toy with by messing with your deck, but still relevant.

CoolCly 02/25/24 6:29:26 PM #37 | I think when you press + to get to the big menu there's a remaining time on the right. I've played 5 hours and have 2 hours left so I guess its 7 hours?
How do you guys feel about time limits on maps? I haven't hit one yet but iv been VERY close - and I'm thinking this could be a very critical flaw in the game. It feels like just moving my units across the map burns most of the overall time limit - which means there's not really much time for regrouping at strong holds, or rerouting units from different areas of the map if things go poorly I'm probably gonna lose my shit if I start losing missions on this time limit while doing normal strategical stuff. Maybe a really long time limit is fine to prevent abusing stuff but i think there should be a lot of leeway. My experience is that i'm about in the middle of the map with half the time to go and when i send my troops to walk to the final stronghold - the timer is in the red about to blow. That's wayyyyy too tight. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

On my run I focused on straight and got the joker that lets you have gaps in your straight. That makes it way more reliable. That gaps in the straight card is nuts. It's not just one gap - you can have tons of them. Ace Queen Ten Eight Six is valid straight Four Fingers is also an awesome card which lets you make a Flush or Straight with four cards. Combining them would mean straights every hand Full Houses sound outlandish but I think it could be doable. If would require a lot of messing with your deck though. If you used Tarot cards to transform a lot of your cards into certain ranks, destroy cards you dont need, and add more of the ranks you want to make pairs of, you could shift your deck to have a bunch of 10s and 6s but no 9s or 4s or something. Would make pairs/three of a kinds/full houses happen all the time But can you get this off the ground fast enough? --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

Honestly that's pretty standard practice for IT company swap overs. Old IT being involved in the transition is minimized and often aren't actually directly informed it's going to happen until the new IT has already gotten in and changed a bunch of passwords if it's expected the existing IT provider will be bitter-- I'm guessing it's probably seen as a security risk and if the old IT is too involved then they might be able to still access things they shouldn't be able to after the transition is complete. As an accountant that works with IT service providers this all sounds crazy to me. There's often so many little back end systems and connections that most people have no idea even exist except for the few people that maintain it. I don't understand how transitions like this could happen if there isn't a relatively transparent transfer of process knowledge and keys. Seems like half of things might get covered and the other half will be wheels that keep spinning until they fall off due to lack of oversight, which could take 1 day or 6 months depending on the process. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |

Honestly this whole trailer is bizarre. If I skew my view a little, it actually is aiming somewhat in the right direction of whimsical nonsense set in a gritty action filled wasteland. But the actual execution is just sooooooooooo off. Then again, the games lost sight of that tone too the more and more of them they make, so I guess the chances of Hollywood nailing it wasn't high. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG |
