I kept vacillating between boredom and getting distracted by the eye candy on this but I couldn't really put into words why it felt so uninteresting. Thanks, you described it perfectly. I don't dislike GdT, but his films get way more hype than they deserve.

It is amazingly good fun, and I think I discovered it from a clip of you playing on that ice slide level. But I suck at m+k controls, I need more opponents or teammates to hide my incompetence. Is it still 1v1?

That would be truly inspiring. I was just being dumb and imagining the comic book version of this where priests don armor and draw swords to go to war against the president.

Wait, what? Like excommunication? I think I prefer the crusade idea tbh.

You have my deepest sympathy. I'm no stranger to chronic pain, but migraines must be in a category of their own. Hopefully the right animé is out there, you just haven't found it yet.

Loving your partner is gay now? Welp! I guess I have to rethink some things.

Don't think I'll ever be able to afford a polestar, but I definitely have to dig up the vr headset for christmas and give this a go.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean. There was a very specific mood in that first gameplay reveal which was only ever fleetingly glimpsed in Destiny proper.

Some old and recent faves:

-The Crow 1994 movie for all its gothy angst & style.
-Too many games to mention but A Highland Song stands out for being 2d and about Scottish nature.
-Legion because its production design's deliriously extra.
-Blue Eye Samurai because ep. 5 had gorgeous storytelling.

But, but... it's from the folks who did the best sneaky lawyer show ever. And it's even sci-fi 🤩

I see. I haven't played powered cube before so I was just comparing to the regular drafts I've been in.

That is a smooth looking mana curve though. I'll admit I'm not great at drafting but I feel like getting a nice curve in draft is challenging usually, especially picks for the low end. Were you lucky or does this cube just have a nice spread of good cards cost-wise?

I found that strangely moving. Even if he chuckles and grins in that Offermanly way, it's clear he loves those movies.
