What an absolute cunt of a human being.

I've been toying with giving Age of Sigmar another shot and having been reading through a load of stuff it really feels like AoS is ever so slowly going back to the old WHFB rules, just with round bases and still having silly individual named rules instead of general rule names like Killing Blow etc.

Not a bad thing as I found the AoS rules very poor in the past (Thanks to Alan Merricks desire to kill off anything attributed to Rick Priestly).

Half Life. Final boss fight. Not enough ammo and I couldn't be bothered to go several hours of saves back to replay and conserve ammo.

It really is time for people to start realising that religion of all varieties has no place in modern society.

Personally I'll be staying here and not going back to Reddit. I'd been winding down my use of Reddit recently anyway so the blackout was just the little push I needed to delete my account.

Myers adds, “Honestly, I like to imagine that Klingons are a diverse species, and that means there are many different looks the Klingons have. It’s that simple.”

Kinda sums it up nicely.

Has there been a replacement for The Trove? Last time I looked all the links following the take down no longer worked.

Absolutely made up about this. Star Trek and the related subs were the only ones I used by the end of me being on Reddit.

Yup. And Anton is a nod to Anton Yelchin who played Chekov in the newer movies. The president is also voiced by Walter Koenig

The Witcher 3.

It just feels so generic and suffers from one of the things I hate the most about rpgs. Endless sidequests that have nothing to do with the main quest.

Cyberpunk 2077. The first part was really enjoyable. Then you get to the open world part and it suffers from the same issue as the Witcher above and also has fiddly levelling up/skill tree. Also it's overwhelming. You're on a mission. The phone calls. Sone rando wants you for a job. Start job. The phone calls. There's an out of control ai taxi...repeat. Just too much information at once and mostly for stuff unrelated to the fact your character has a very personal and important mission.

Survival/Builder games I find incredibly boring.

This is an old forgotten gem of a sci fi series from the 90's. Created by a couple of the X-Files writers it was unfortunately cut before a second season could be made.

Personally it is one of my favourite series and as it's here on YouTube I'd recommend it to everyone.

Premise 'Set in the years 2063–2064, the show focuses on the "Wildcards", members of the United States Marine Corps 58th Squadron of the Space Aviator Cavalry. They are stationed on the space carrier USS Saratoga, acting as both infantry and pilots of SA-43 Endo/Exo-Atmospheric Attack Jet ("Hammerhead") fighters, battling an invading force of extraterrestrials.'

I'm not a big reader these days but back in the 90's I was. The ones that really stuck with me and have been reread once or twice.

I honestly do not like the RPG mechanic of levelling up/buying skills, especially in FPS games. I'd rather have a Half Life experience over levelling.

I'm also not a fan of side quests. I find it breaks the immersion when you're character is on some crazy, world saving overall quest but sure, I can spend time to find that random thing for you.

Unsurprisingly the BBC have coverage of how hot it is and Boris' resignation on the front page rather than this.

Yup. I'll be deleting my Reddit account at some point over the next couple of weeks. Without RiF I'll not be using Reddit at all.
