Yeah, once they mentioned laptops for hackers in the book I couldn't get it out of my head, Static's always crouched over his projector or the radio and seeing him furiously hoofing away on a laptop on the ground is just too right.

Oh that makes me so happy. Thank you and congratulations, Fnu 😁

Yeah, now that I'm looking at the classes, Static is just too good a fit for the Hacker class and Amber would probably fit best, with some jamming and prodding, into the Tinkerer class. Which itself sounds a lot like Novi from the SR game, but she was luckily very unlike Amber in personality.

I don't disagree, but it does do me a concern to think of it that way. In Shadowrun, I've played a drone jockey, a hacker, and a cat burglar, which were all the techiest roles available. Of those, the hacker was the most fun by far, and predictably the most magic-user-like, since it's a high...

NGL the idea of a cyberpunk Amber intrigues me.

That's an incredibly reductive interpretation of the concept from pen and paper RPGs, but so is the JRPG implementation, which makes it accurate in that respect. But no, pen and paper RPGs aren't designed or written that way, and to my knowledge never have been. In a JRPG, you're interacting...

On the one hand I respect the dedication it took to engineer a chain of quite stiff hinges that settle into the right position when you smash them into place under another piece. On the other hand what the hug why are you doing that jesus ******* christ what is wrong with you

Nope, the T30 is Cheetor sized with a similar or higher part count and has lizard teeth in alt mode to match the original toy, but otherwise has a slightly better shaped alt mode without the lumps and a leg transformation that rivals Master Builder Athena in pain.

I'm so glad you mentioned the testicle reading, it's so distressingly true. I still like my T30 Rattrap because he's more accurate, and he should be after the time I spent modding him, but the Kingdom version is an unquestionably better and more fun toy. If he was a Bumblebee size Deluxe with...

Yes god. I don't know about "outdated", but that element of Hollow Knight is needlessly punishing. Gotta take five minutes of carefully navigating back and maintaining my health just to get back to the start of the encounter, and if I screw up along the way it's just even longer to rebuild my...

They can't all be Animated Prowl, but something about it rubs me wrong. The rear wheel should be where the thigh it's attached to is, so it ends up with this long, weird fish tail, and the front doesn't quite come together enough for me, so the whole thing just has this awkward, ungainly feel to...

Yeah, there's a fun concept there but they end up as a pair of robots wearing shins on their heads, who can turn into either a pair of shins, or a pair of shins attached to one another really hoping they look a little bit like wings. They're also the least interesting robot with very little of...

Thank you so much! 😁

Yeah, that would make sense. I just get the sense that extra lives really have been gradually phased out in most contexts and usually aren't included just to be there. Everything from Souls-like games to Minecraft sends you back to a rest point with no money, puzzle adventure games just respawn...

I wanted to get that set but there was some weirdness with a deeply cut preorder and by the time I wasn't getting it the money'd gone to other things. I hadn't seen a video review yet, though! Still might go back and just get Thunder Light (the yellow one) by herself if I can. I hope Big...

Walk us through this a bit here: What kinds of genres are you picturing? What games do still have a Game Over screen, but shouldn't, in your opinion?

I always felt like Amber was a relatively serious character at baseline, and I was always excited to find ways that she could undercut herself as the silly pony she was. She had a couple of moments where dignity intersected with a scene I really enjoyed, like, yeah, standing off with Barometz...

I like Animated and some select IDW1 arcs. And that's just the fiction, 50% of the toylines have at least a few toys I really like, and the nice thing about toys is that the success of any one toy isn't brought down by the garbage ones in the same lineup.

Caveat: you're watching those ten years in realtime

Shave and a haircut, NEETLE TEETLES!
