I got a board game night in a few hours but the only ones who signed up for it right now is just me and the host.

I don't like that.
You have two options:

1. Use this one-on-one opportunity to get the know the host better and make a friend.

2. Realize that there’s only one other person there and you have no excuse for failure. Crush ‘em into dust.

I've been to the host's events a number of times before so I know that he is a cool dude.

And not long after my previous post, someone else just signed up. The day is saved!

I'm considering getting either Risk of Rain 2 or Death Stranding while they're at lower prices points for the Steam Winter Sale.

Anyone recommendations from anyone who's played either/both games? I've never played the original Risk of Rain but the sequel looks incredibly fun, and I'm not sure if the games have enough of a storyline or not to make playing the first game necessary to understand the second.

Another Project Voltage supporting artwork has been released for Rin and Len’s anniversary, simply titled “Anniversary” by Chie Rico. This one has Rin, Len, Miku, Pom-Pom style Oricorio, Plusle, Minun, and Revavroom:

also, I missed one made by Kurumitsu for Christmas, ft. Normal-type Luka with Winter Sawsbuck, and Ice-type Miku with Delibird and Iron Bundle:

This LEGO set is so cool for 35 bucks
the fact It even connects to the past No Way Home set is great too.
On one hand I don't like the idea of what is essentially Lego set DLC

On the other hand, both of these sets are top tier on their own so it doesn't really matter.

What do you think of this? 100 player Splatoon matches. Either in teams of 10 or each player with their own color.
absolutely not

even ignoring the game engine presumably being unable to handle more than 10 clients connected already(8 players + 2 spectators) that'd just be way too chaotic and disorganized, que times would be too long(its hard enough queing for high x rank and I'd wager the pool is around 100 individual players at any time of day) and there'd be no meaningful way to coordinate or keep comms clear with that many players on a team

Splatoon as a game heavily incentives and rewards high skill technical movement plays more than raw advantage in numbers, cranking the number of players up just makes rushing in and taking unnecessarily engagements and special spam way too free of a strategy when you can plop booyah bombs or tenta missiles everywhere and get random picks because of the sheer quantity of players, vs quality.

Has anyone here played either of these games? No worries if not, I'm, just asking again to see if either game is more worth getting than the other.

God. Me, my mom, and my sister all have colds. But because it's hitting us all in different levels it's like we're having a **** measuring contest of sickness, a sick measuring contest, if you will. Like, yeah, of course the same virus that gives me (a younger person with a robust immune system) a cough and post nasal drip is gonna hit my mom worse because she's older and is gonna incapacitate my sister because she's got an autoimmune disorder and falls apart when you breath on her. But that doesn't mean my mom can just shout "you're not sick" at me when I say I am. Because I am. You either are sick or you're not. You can't be "not sick enough to qualify". So frustrating

Pokemon Day 2024. Consider the following:

The Unova game(s) are a new Legends game taking place in the past of the region, the masses rejoice. But instead of another BDSP situation, the other game is a sequel to the original B/W and B/W2 with HD 2.5D pixel graphics. Think the Octopath games.

So uhh Legends: Minccino and Pokemon Black 3 & White 3. 3D and 2D. Unova's past and Unova's future.

Yes I know this will never happen in a million years I just saw an Octopath video and was inspired

Somewhat related, but I feel like BDSP would have gone crazy visually if they polished the character models and used the new Pokemon models from PLA onwards. The enviroments were super cozy and warm feeling that was offset by the characters looking like...

And I don't hate the chibi arstyle, it looks cute, but they could have done a better job

In news I don’t understand, there is going to be a Little Golden Book version of the movie Alien.

My question is… how exactly?
"
In space no one can hear you giggle as you read this Little Golden Book featuring the characters from the classic movie Alien

Follow Ripley and the rest of the Nostromo crew on a space adventure that introduces the alphabet from A to Z. With fun illustrations, this light-hearted reimagining of the iconic movie Alien will delight fans young and old, as well as Little Golden Book collectors throught the universe.

Wait, the Little Golden Book?



Dude, I read those books all the time as a kid. Everything from their Disney and fairy tale adaptations to their original stories. They're quite obviously intended for young children to read.

How the hell are they going to adapt a movie as violent and adult-oriented as Alien into a Little Golden Book?

More importantly, why are they trying to adapt a movie as violent and adult-oriented as Alien into a Little Golden Book?!?!?
